Soon, Uncle Ping had prepared the gifts and sacrificial items, enough to fill a whole carriage.

Uncle Ping brought the gift list to Su Xuening for review: "This is the gift list prepared by this old servant. Miss, please take a look and see if there is anything else you would like to add."

Su Xuening took the gift list and looked at it carefully. She smiled and said, "Uncle Ping has prepared very well. Let's leave it at that."

In addition to preparing gifts for every family in the village, Uncle Ping also specially prepared some pastries, dried fruits, and candies, presumably for the children.

Uncle Ping also prepared an extra gift for the village head and several elders of the Su family.

Su Xuening thought he had prepared well; none of the items were particularly expensive, but they were still considered very good gifts for the villagers.

They even prepared separate gifts for those important people, which was very thoughtful.

Su Xuening then looked at Uncle Ping and Su Yun'an and said, "When you go this time, bring more silver with you in case you encounter other places where you need money."

"Okay," Su Yun'an replied earnestly.

Su Yun'an went to the storeroom and took some more silver and banknotes. Then he called Qingshan and Qingshi. Qingshan's broken leg had been healed after several months of recuperation, and he was able to go to Kaiyang with Su Yun'an.

Uncle Ping also went back to pack a few clothes and gave Aunt Ping some instructions before going out with Su Yun'an and the others.

Su Xuening and Bai Shi also came out to see them off.

While tidying Su Yun'an's clothes, Su Xuening instructed him with concern, "Don't flaunt your wealth. Keep those banknotes close to your body and don't take out any silver easily."

She had never been to Kaiyang before, and she was afraid that those people would be envious of the silver. With her martial uncle and secret guards accompanying her, she wasn't worried about Yun'an's safety, but she was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

"Okay." Su Yun'an had already hidden the silver notes in his socks when he took them. As for the silver, he didn't actually take much; he had already shared some with Uncle Ping and his martial uncle.

The three of them carried the money equally, so if one of them lost it, the other two wouldn't be without money.

"Of the medicines Master gave you, keep one bottle of wound medicine, one bottle of poison, and one bottle of antidote pills on your person. The rest can be kept by your uncle."

There are too many; he probably doesn't even know how to use them.

However, my uncle's medical skills are already very good, and the medicine that my master is making is from their Hundred Flowers Valley, so my uncle will definitely be able to use it smoothly.

"Okay." Although Su Yun'an didn't understand Su Xuening's meaning, he was obedient.

The older sister must have her reasons.

“If you go, go and pay respects to your father first, and kowtow to him for me as well,” Su Xuening said somberly.

If she hadn't been pregnant, she should have gone with them.

It's been three years; she should go and pay her respects to her father.

However, there will be opportunities in the future. After she gives birth, she can have Xuanyuan Zhan accompany her. At that time, she can bring Xuanyuan Zhan and the child to meet her father.

"Okay." Su Yun'an nodded again.

Even if his sister hadn't said anything, he would have done it anyway.

Father must want to see them too. This is a good opportunity to pay respects to Father. It seems they haven't formally paid respects to him yet.

Su Xuening thought of something and leaned closer to him, whispering, "I've also assigned two bodyguards to you. They won't usually bother you, but they will appear when you're in danger. Of course, if you feel you're in danger or need help, you can call them out to help you."

Su Yun'an said earnestly, "I've got it."

Su Xuening patted his head reluctantly and whispered, "If you find any clues or anything happens, you can have the guards send me a message."

"Yes." Su Yun'an kept in mind that her purpose in going to Kaiyang was to find out her father's background and find out who in the Su family army was behind the murder of her father.

Having explained everything that needed to be explained, Su Xuening looked at Uncle Ping and said, "I can't go to Kaiyang this time, so I'll have to trouble Uncle Ping to take good care of Yun'an."

Uncle Ping immediately bowed and said, "Miss, please rest assured, this old servant will take good care of the young master."

Su Xuening nodded and bowed to You Yi again: "Thank you for your trouble, Uncle-Master."

Youyi smiled nonchalantly: "I'll just treat it as a way to clear my head. I've had enough of the bamboo forest anyway."

Su Xuening actually understood that her martial uncle went there to protect Yun'an; otherwise, he could have gone anywhere to relax, why did he have to go to Kaiyang?

Originally, her martial uncle stayed in Kyoto for her childbirth, but now he is going to Kaiyang to protect Yun'an.

She and Yun'an will never forget the bond between their master and their uncle!

"Let's go." Youyi was the first to mount his horse.

Although Su Xuening had prepared a carriage for them, You Yi and Su Yun'an both wanted to ride horses, and they were too embarrassed to ride in a carriage alone, so they gave up one of their carriages.

Uncle Ping sat down with the coachman who was escorting the gifts.

Thus, Youyi and Su Yun'an rode two horses in front, while Uncle Ping led two carriages behind them, and the group set off for Kaiyang together.

After seeing Su Yun'an and the others off, Bai Shi and Su Xuening also boarded the carriage and returned to the Holy King's Mansion.

In the evening, Su Xuening had dinner with Madam Bai at Ningxiang Garden.

"Ning'er, are you getting used to living alone in Linshui Pavilion without Zhan'er? Why don't you move to Ningxiang Garden to live with your mother? That way, it will be easier for your mother to take care of you." Madam Bai asked with concern, looking at Su Xuening's large belly.

Ning'er's belly is getting bigger every day, and Xuan Yuanzhan isn't by her side, so she's really worried about letting her live alone in Linshui Pavilion.

Su Xuening knew that she meant well and smiled, "No need to trouble yourself. I'm quite used to living in Linshui Pavilion. Besides, I'm only seven months pregnant and there are still more than two months until I give birth. I can move to Mother's place when I'm closer to giving birth."

Since she was willing to live in Linshui Pavilion, Madam Bai naturally had no objection: "Alright, then should Mother send two more maids and servants for you?"

Feeling Bai Shi's deep concern, Su Xuening looked at Bai Shi earnestly and said, "No need. Although the Prince is not here, I am not uncomfortable at all. My mother and the Prince treat me so well that I have long regarded the Prince's Mansion as my home. So what is there to be uncomfortable about? My mother doesn't need to send any more people for me. I have Bihe and Lülian by my side, and the other maids and servants would not dare to neglect me. I can just ask for whatever I want."

Bai nodded in agreement, took Su Xuening's hand and said, "It's good that you think this way. The Prince's Mansion is your home. Just tell me what you need."

"I know!" Su Xuening wasn't lying.

She truly treated the Prince's Mansion as her own home.

Bai Shi liked Su Xuening very much, and patted her hand affectionately: "Good child, go and rest."

"Ning'er takes her leave." Su Xuening stood up, bowed to Madam Bai, and was then helped away by Bihe and Lülian.
