The carriage drove slowly towards Bolinghou Mansion.
Ah Xuan and Ah Wan sat side by side in front of the car.
Seeing Ah Wan turning around frequently, Ah Xuan whispered: "Watch the road carefully and don't eavesdrop."
Ah Wan was unhappy: "What's wrong with me just listening? Are you so relieved?"
"What's there to be worried about?" Ah Xuan didn't understand. "Miss Ming has helped the young master many times. It's not like you don't know."
Ah Wan snorted and turned her head.
The two grew up together, and Ah Xuan always loved and cared for her as a younger sister. Seeing her like this, he asked: "Why are you so hostile to Miss Ming? The young master will always get a wife, and if it's not her, it will be someone else."
Ah Wan was even more unhappy: "She is letting someone get married! She won't break off the engagement over there, but she is clinging to the young master here. What does she think of the young master!"
Hearing this, Ah Xuan couldn't help but ask: "So, isn't it because of..."
Ah Wan rolled her eyes at him: "Why? Because! Anyway, I don't like her, that's all!"
Ah Xuan laughed when he heard this.
"Okay! If you don't like it, just don't like it."
The fact that this girl said this shows that she doesn't hold any grudge in her heart.
Young Master and Miss Ming are both people who don't care about these little details, so let her go.
In the carriage, Ming Wei carefully read the imperial edict several times before handing it back to him.
"When are you leaving?"
Yang Shu said: "As soon as possible."
He already knows his embarrassing situation. Without any solution, what else can he do except leaving as soon as possible and letting everyone feel at ease?
"That's fine."
The two of them were relatively silent.
Yang Shu felt that he had a lot to say, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that nothing was suitable to say.
After a while, Mingwei spoke first: "I don't know how long it will take to leave. Do you want to meet the imperial concubine?"
Yang Shu's hands trembled and his breathing was a little messed up.
He has very complicated feelings about Concubine Pei.
When he was a child, his grandmother told him that this was his aunt, who was a sister to his mother. And this aunt was extremely loving to him. Without a mother, it was easy for him to regard her as his mother.
Later, his grandmother said those words before she died, which made him mistakenly believe that he was the illegitimate son of the emperor and Concubine Pei, so he couldn't help but love and resent her. Knowing that his mother was alive, he was a little secretly happy, but he also resented her for seeking glory and wealth.
Abandoned myself.
Now that he knows the truth, he feels ashamed.
I went to the palace to see her first. She was so happy, but he always ignored her...
But how can you escape just for the sake of feeling ashamed?
Yang Shu raised his head: "I want to see her, is there any way you can hide it?"
Mingwei replied softly: "As long as you want to meet me, I will do everything I have learned in my life to let you meet safely."
"Thank you..." His voice trembled slightly.
Mingwei sighed, suddenly leaned over, opened her arms, and hugged him gently.
Yang Shu only felt the faint breath rushing towards him, and he was surrounded by a softness, like the willow wind in early summer, like the peach blossom water in spring.
My heart is warm and soft, and all the pain, regret and guilt are soothed.
He stretched out his arms and clasped her, locking her tightly and sinking her deeply into his arms.
No need to say anything, it’s like you own the whole world.
The hug only lasted a short time, and he let go, blushing a little embarrassedly: "When I was in prison earlier...well, I didn't take a shower, does it smell?"
Mingwei chuckled. He had only been locked up for a total of how long. It was going to be winter soon. Where did the smell come from? It was true that it was a bit yin. That place was not very auspicious.
The carriage stopped, and Ah Xuan's slightly hesitant voice sounded outside: "Sir, the Marquis Mansion has arrived."
Mingwei took out a pack of medicine and said, "Pour it in when you take a bath to remove bad luck. I have made arrangements over there and will come to you."
"good."
Yang Shu reluctantly watched her jump off the carriage, turned around, smiled at him, and left from another alley.
After a while, he calmed down completely, got out of the carriage and entered the Marquis' mansion.
When I arrived at the middle hall, I found that it was full of people. The Marquis and Marquis of Boling, the Crown Prince, the Second Young Master and the two young ladies were all there.
Yang Shu knew it well and walked over to salute: "Uncle, aunt."
Marquis Boling looked gentle, but also distant.
Yang Shu was raised by his grandparents since he was a child and was favored by his grandparents. Although Marquis Boling did not compete with his nephew for favor, he could not get close to him.
"You're not suffering, are you?" he asked.
Yang Shu replied: "No, the jailer does not dare to treat his nephew badly."
Marquis Boling nodded: "That's good." After a pause, he added, "We all know the Holy Father's will. Just tell your aunt what you need to prepare."
Yang Shu paused for a moment: "I'm going to take office. I don't need too many things. I just ask Ah Wan to prepare them. It's just that I have to trouble my aunt to take care of these shops in Beijing."
Before Mrs. Bolinghou said anything, the Crown Prince's wife Lu immediately said, "What's this? We are all one family. Third brother, just don't worry, we will take good care of it."
The Crown Prince Yang Xuan shouted and scolded in a low voice: "Mother hasn't spoken yet, why are you interrupting!"
Lu reluctantly shut up.
I really don’t understand why this guy is so polite to him when he has been demoted to the northwest and has obviously fallen out of favor.
Although the second-fang’s property is not as large as that of the first-fang, the first-fang has a larger population, and the two elders are still in charge now, so not much is in her hands. Unlike the second-fang, he is the only one who holds everything by himself, and the second-fang
The princess and the old Marquis still doted on him so much, and who knows how many private houses they gave him.
The shops under his name are all located in the best areas, and they are making real money every day. He has taken them out obediently, which shows that he knows that he will have to rely on the name of their Houfu in the future to make sure he doesn't waste his money.
Madam Boling Hou said: "Don't worry, my aunt will look after it for you. If you want anything, just write back. Our family is not short of this."
"Thank you, aunt."
After a few hasty words, Yang Shu went back to the house.
In fact, he knew in his heart that everyone was just trying to save face and said some kind words.
He deliberately took out those properties to bribe them.
The Pei family didn't want to pay attention to their mother and son. With him gone, if Concubine Pei had something to do, they could lend a helping hand.
"Sir." Xiaotong's eyes turned red when she saw him coming back, "Are you really going to the northwest?"
Yang Shu touched her head and said with a smile: "Yes! Do you want to go together? It's not as prosperous as the capital. It doesn't have good food or housing, but with the young master here, you won't be bullied."
"Yes!" Xiaotong hugged his arm, "I made an agreement with Sister Awan, we will go wherever the young master goes! It doesn't matter if we endure hardship. If we are together, we have nothing to fear."
Yang Shu smiled even happier: "Okay, everyone is together."
Saying this, he thought of Mingwei again.
Is she willing to... forget it, she has family and friends in Beijing, how can he be so selfish?
