Early the next morning, Feng Shaojun got on the boat and returned to Beijing with King Yan and his entourage.
When we arrived, we took three boats. On the return trip, we took five boats.
Magistrate Ma and Li San were locked up alone in a boat and heavily guarded. Feng Shaojun led Zheng's mother Jixiang to the last boat.
Non-stop along the way, day and night, straight to the capital.
Originally a journey of more than ten days, we arrived at the Capital Pier on the tenth day.
The imperial court had already received the news and sent important ministers to greet him.
Mr. Wangge and the Minister of Punishment came, as well as General Yuan and several generals.
I don’t know whether it was intentional or not. Those who came to greet King Yan were all officials who had close contacts with King Yan. None of them, such as Mr. Wu Ge, came.
King Yan's eyes flashed, and he greeted all the ministers one by one. When he arrived at General Yuan, King Yan held his hands in his hands and respectfully called "father-in-law."
General Yuan is over seventy years old. His hair and beard are all white, but he is energetic and has sharp eyes. His waist is as straight as a javelin. He looks like he is getting stronger with age.
General Yuan retired and returned to Beijing after he was sixty years old. Now he does not have any actual errands, but he has a very high prestige among the generals and has considerable weight in front of Emperor Long'an.
King Yan always respected his father-in-law very much.
General Yuan raised his hand and returned the salute: "Your Highness."
You call your father-in-law, and I call you your highness.
It was quite interesting for the couple to salute each other.
Mr. Wangge said with a smile: "Your Majesty has learned that His Highness has returned and is looking forward to it. Please come to the palace to see him immediately!"
King Yan agreed with a smile, got on the carriage and went straight to the palace.
Half of the bodyguards followed them into the palace, while the other half escorted Magistrate Ma and Li San to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
…
Feng Shaojun waited patiently for everyone to leave before getting off the boat, renting a carriage and returning to Cui's house.
After ten days on the boat, I was quite tired. After returning to the house, the maids went to settle down. Feng Shaojun fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
I didn't wake up until the afternoon.
Jixiang brought hot food. Feng Shaojun quickly filled his stomach and breathed a long sigh of relief: "I will have a good rest for a few days when I return to Beijing this time."
The case of annihilation has been concluded. The next battle is between King Yan, several princes and Emperor Long'an, and has nothing to do with her.
Ji Xiang felt sorry for his master and sighed: "It's time to take a good rest. This month, I have been on the boat for nearly twenty days. During the time in Pingjiang Mansion, the young lady did not rest either."
While they were talking in a low voice, Zheng's mother came to report: "Miss, someone from the Shen family is here."
It's my aunt Da Feng who is here.
Feng Shaojun immediately stood up and went out to greet him.
Mrs. Feng has been very worried these days and has not thought about food and drinks. She has become a lot more haggard. When she saw Feng Shaojun, Mrs. Feng’s eyes suddenly turned red and she held Feng Shaojun’s hand tightly: “Shaojun, I’ve suffered so much for you.”
A frail teenage girl traveled thousands of miles and worked tirelessly for her fiancé. This affection is truly touching.
Feng Shaojun said softly: "Aunt, I have to work harder. Maybe after seeing Cousin You with my own eyes, I don't feel bitter at all."
Da Feng held Feng Shaojun in her arms and choked with sobs: "Good boy, Si Lang is really lucky to have a fiancée like you."
Mrs. Feng was very emotional and cried for a while before she gradually calmed down.
Feng Shaojun took Da Feng's hand, sat on the chair, and talked softly about the trip. Of course, there were some things that should not be mentioned and could not be mentioned, so just ignore them.
Da Feng heard that Shen You was still unable to stay, so she cried again: "It's been more than a month, and Shiro still can't stay. It shows that the injury is serious."
"Auntie, don't cry." Feng Shaojun wiped away Mrs. Feng's tears with a handkerchief and comforted him softly: "Although cousin You's injury is serious, it's not serious. He will be nursed slowly and he will be able to recover as before."
"He lives in Cuiyuan to recuperate from his injuries. Doctor Liu is taking care of him, cousin Jia is taking care of him, and my grandmother and cousin will be with him. He will be fine."
This is true.
Shen You and Feng Shaojun are an unmarried couple, and the Cui family is one of their own, so there is no need for outsiders.
Mrs. Feng nodded and asked about Shen You's physical condition in detail. Shen Jia, too, had been raised pampered since childhood. He had never served patients before, and he was so clumsy!
Feng Shaojun listened to Da Feng's talk and secretly felt happy for Shen You.
Shen You's parents were not very close, but Shen Mao and Da Feng were very kind to him. They were many times better than those who treated their nephews harshly and swallowed up the family property.
The aunt and nephew chatted for a long time until evening.
Feng Shaojun smiled and said: "Aunt, please stay and have dinner before going back!"
Da Feng agreed happily.
The cook in Cui's house was very good at cooking and quickly prepared a table of delicious food. However, there were only two people at Nuo Da's table, so it was really deserted.
Da Feng said to Feng Shaojun: "Young Master, Mr. Cui has also returned to Pingjiang Mansion. Such a big house, where you live alone, is really empty and deserted. Come with me to live with the Shen family for a while!"
Feng Shaojun politely declined: "I have been on a boat trip for nearly twenty days, and I am quite tired. I want to stay quietly in my boudoir. Thank you for your kindness."
No matter how nice the Shen family is, it is not our own home after all. Being a guest in someone else's house is inevitably a bit restrictive.
More importantly, there might be an errand coming at some time, and it would be very inconvenient for her to be at the Shen family.
Da Feng saw that Feng Shaojun was firm and had no choice but to give up.
…
Feng Shaojun wants to live quietly, which is obviously a luxury.
Early the next morning, another person came to the Feng family.
Mrs. Feng came in person with a sullen face. Along with Mrs. Feng, there were also Zhou family, Yao family, Feng Shaolan, Feng Shaozhu and Feng Shaoju.
Six pairs of eyes were all staring at Feng Shaojun. It was as if Feng Shaojun had given birth to three heads and six arms.
Feng Shaojun looked as usual and smiled slightly: "Grandma, why do you look at me like this?"
As usual, Mrs. Feng had a bad face and said coldly: "Master Cui suddenly left the capital without even saying hello, so that's it. After all, they are just in-laws. They are not polite and we, the Feng family, have nothing to do with you. You are a teenager." How could a young girl in the harem run back to Pingjiang Mansion without saying a word?"
"If you encounter water bandits on the way or something happens, it will be too late for you to regret it. And we, the Feng family, young and old, will also be embarrassed and embarrassed."
"Feng Shaojun! Don't forget, you are the third daughter of the Feng family! If you want to leave the house and live elsewhere, I, my great aunt, will endure it silently. If you want to do anything outrageous, I will not allow it!"
Mrs. Feng's voice was stern, like a pot of boiling hot water, every drop of it splashed with scalding heat.
Feng Shaojun said unhurriedly: "I just found out today that my great-aunt attaches so much importance to the reputation of the Feng family. In that case, when Princess Qin forced me to enter the palace of Prince Qin, why didn't my great-aunt go and break up with Princess Qin? Struggle with reason?"
