Just before her family was confiscated and exiled, Shen Yunyue emptied her own storeroom and, while she was at it, also emptied the太子(crown prince's) mansion's storeroom.
This was...
Chapter 319 Shen Yunyue's Suspicion
There are few men like this in the world. Chang Tingting feels that she has never met such a man in the army in the northern border or in the capital.
A heart is beating fast.
Fu Xuanheng frowned and said:
"You two should leave. We can't go together anymore. These Beiliang warriors are too scary."
Chang Yuan came with his entourage.
It was just that Chang Tingting went out to play secretly, so he and his followers went out to look for Chang Tingting.
Chang's mother was worried and went out to look for him.
They did meet a family of three, and Chang Yuan asked his attendant to lead the guards and others to the vicinity of the restaurant.
Look, I just had dinner.
Then they met warriors from the Northern Liang Kingdom.
When Chang Tingting heard Fu Xuanheng's words, she hurriedly replied:
"Sir, those Beiliang warriors are vicious and cruel. If you are heading to the northern border, why not come with us?"
"We have yet to repay the young master for saving our lives."
Chang Yuan was a little suspicious at this point. How could this be such a coincidence?
He suppressed his doubts and put on a smile. "I don't know how to address my benefactor?"
"A mere name is not worth mentioning. We will never meet again." Fu Xuanheng saw what Chang Yuan was thinking at a glance. He withdrew his gaze indifferently and said, "Let's go our separate ways."
After saying that.
Fu Xuanheng glanced at the injured Ying Feng and said, "Let's go."
Yingfeng's left arm dropped down.
There was still blood on his arm. He pursed his lips and followed Fu Xuanheng.
An Er and An Wu walked at the end.
As the four men were talking, they mounted their horses and rode away quickly towards the north.
Just after Fu Xuanheng and the others left.
Chang Yuan's long-time attendant rushed over with his guards and Chang Yuan's wife and children.
Chang Yuan reached out and touched his son's chubby head, and said:
"Let's go quickly. We encountered Beiliang warriors. I guess the Beiliang spies know our itinerary and leaked it to others."
Chang Yuan's wife frowned.
She didn't like her sister-in-law Chang Tingting's personality. If she hadn't run around, Chang Yuan would have gone out with people to look for her.
How could these things happen?
Chang Tingting's face was filled with anger. "Humph. It's all your fault, big brother. It would have been so much better if we were traveling with our benefactor just now."
"Tingting, even though they saved us, it's hard to say whether they're friends or foes. The situation in the capital is complicated. Those people in the royal family might not have any plans. We have to be careful with everything."
After a pause, Chang Yuan said sternly:
"From today on, you are not allowed to run out without permission."
Chang Tingting stamped her feet in anger and looked at her mother with grievance. "Mom, look, my eldest brother always bullies me."
Chang's mother sighed, "Tingting, your brother is doing this for your own good."
Chang Yuan's wife said nothing, but quickly got on the carriage with her child.
The group hurried north.
Yingfeng had bandaged his wound. He and Fu Xuanheng rode side by side. "Master, that Chang Yuan has suspicions about us."
Fu Xuanheng said lightly:
"It's normal. He's been in the military for so many years, it would be strange if he didn't have any suspicions."
"Let's keep up this pace. I estimate we will meet him tomorrow." Since he met Chang Yuan, Fu Xuanheng naturally wanted to change his approach.
Instead of going to the north to find a way to find Chang Wei.
It would be better to follow them to the northern border now and make other plans later.
"yes."
"An Er, find out who are those who are chasing Chang Yuan? Remember not to clear the obstacles for Chang Yuan. Are there other people secretly following Chang Yuan?"
An Er's mind was focused, "Master, do you have any doubts?"
"Yes. Chang Yuan knew we were from the Great Zhou, but he still remained vigilant. This means we encountered quite a few problems on the way back to the northern border from the capital."
"I'll go investigate right away." An Er pulled the reins and rode away in another direction.
Fu Xuanheng and the other two continued riding north.
He asked Yingfeng to go to the next city and find an inn where there were many merchants from the North.
Shen Yunyue saw Master Yun off.
Uncle Yun Qi and Aunt Yun Qi moved in.
Mu Ya is personally responsible for Aunt Yun Qi's daily diet, in addition to taking care of Shen Yunyue's personal affairs.
These are Aunt Yun Qi and Shen Ci’en’s three meals a day.
Shen Ci'en was fine. She ate comfortably every day and took walks with Mu Xiujin at the foot of the mountain behind Baijia Village.
In her spare time, she practiced some movements taught to her by Shen Yunyue.
Mu Xiujin didn't dare to let Shen Ci'en return to Yanling Mansion. At least she had to give birth to the child. After the child was two or three months old, they would return to Yanling Mansion together.
But the affairs of Yanling Prefecture are complicated.
Letters of urgency kept coming.
Mu Xiujin opened the envelope and read the letter. He then wrote a letter to his so-called father and then to his confidant.
After writing, give the letter to An Yi.
Let An Yi's secret letter be delivered to the Sihai Restaurant in Yanling Prefecture.
He collected his thoughts and slowly walked to the pavilion behind the Fu Mansion.
Shen Ci'en and Shen Yunyue sat there talking.
There were two ice basins next to it, and new ice cubes were added when the ice inside was about to melt.
The table was laden with fruit.
When Shen Yunyue saw Mu Xiujin come in, she quickly stood up and saluted. "Uncle, please sit here."
"Yunyue, you must not be too polite to your family members."
Seeing Mu Xiujin's brows etched with worry, Shen Yunyue asked, "Uncle, is Yanling Mansion urging you to return?"
"Hmph, it's time to keep him busy. He's thinking about having a grandson now, so naturally he has to do something. I won't go back for the time being." Mu Xiu Jin sat next to Shen Ci'en, picked up the silver carrying basket on the table, picked up a plum and handed it to her.
"Eat something."
Shen Ci'en glanced at him angrily, "Why don't you go back?"
"I have family here with me, so I'll go back next year."
Mu Xiujin: ... "Ci'en, you and I have been married for over ten years. Have we ever been apart for even a few days?"
"I don't want to leave you, not even for a single day."
Shen Ci’en: ….
Shen Yunyue: .... This display of affection made her jealous.
"Uncle, you can let your confidant handle the matter. Go back for a month or two after a while, and come back to Baijia Village before my aunt gives birth."
Mu Xiu Jin thought about it and decided to separate for a few months.
He doesn't want to.
"Is that so? Let's talk about it later."
He thought of something and asked with a frown:
"Is the eldest master of the Yun family injured?"
"No. My uncle just has a weak constitution and needs daily conditioning. He doesn't have any external injuries." Shen Yunyue thought about it and found no signs of external injuries when she took the pulse of the eldest master of the Yun family.
She thought about it carefully and found no external injuries on her hands or face.
"Uncle, why do you ask this?"
Mu Xiu Jin smiled faintly upon hearing this and said, "Maybe I heard wrongly. I saw him asking Yun Yi if there was any wound that even the medicine from Medicine King Valley couldn't heal."
Injuries that cannot be cured by the medicine in Yaowang Valley?
Shen Yunyue suddenly thought of the medicine she applied on the climbing plant that day.
Not to mention Medicine King Valley, even the most powerful doctor has no way to cure it.
According to the time, the man's wound was just beginning to fester.
Her face darkened.
However, Master Yun's pulse did indicate weakness, and there were no external injuries on his hands.
This means that he is not the man in black robe.
"Yunyue, what's wrong with you?" Mu Xiujin saw Shen Yunyue's face change and asked hurriedly.
Shen Yunyue came back to her senses.
"Uncle. What else did my uncle say?"
"He said he's been in poor health lately. Yun Yi feels sorry that his uncle, who has such great martial arts skills, has been tormented by illness."
"Suffering from illness?"
"Well, Yun Yi took his pulse. He said it was an old man's illness and asked him to rest and recuperate." Mu Xiu Jin was a little puzzled. "Is there something wrong?"
Shen Yunyue had a bad suspicion in her mind.
But do Uncle Yun and the others know about it?
The Yun family and the royal family have a feud of extermination, so it is understandable that the Yun family hates people in the royal family.
If you want revenge, there is nothing wrong with that.
But what if it led to the destruction of the abandoned Prince's Mansion and the Shen Mansion?
Shen Yunyue suddenly felt cold all over.
She thought carefully about her acquaintance with Uncle Yun Ba and Uncle Yun Jiu, and her trip to Yunjiazhuang to treat Master Yun.
All this seems more like a coincidence.
She didn't want to think too much, but Mu Xiu Jin's unintentional words made her suspicious.
She suppressed the strangeness in her heart and smiled faintly.
"There's nothing wrong. It's just that Xuan Heng is worried about my uncle, so I naturally think about him more. When people get old, it's inevitable that they will worry."
She lowered her eyes.
When he looked up again, he picked up the lotus seeds on the table, peeled a few and put them on the plate.
"Uncle, plant the wheat seeds I gave you on the farm under your name. The yield per mu will definitely be much higher."
"Okay, let's buy it. Although the second wife's money is much gone, the old man still saved a lot. The Mu family is not short of money."
Shen Yunyue remembered that when she was in Yanling Prefecture, she had taken a lot of the Mu family's property.
Even Shen Ci'en's dowry is with her.
She was thinking of ways to compensate them with the dowry in other ways.
"Don't be so formal. I bought two farms from Rong Ting. I had the deeds changed to my aunt's name, and I'll treat it as the Shen family's dowry to my aunt."
Mu Xiujin: ... "How can you ask for more dowry after being married for over ten years?"
"Yes, my daughter from the Shen family has one."
Shen Yunyue peeled a lot of lotus seeds and casually told Mu Ya:
"Take these lotus seeds and steam them. Once they're cooked, drizzle them with honey. Let's give everyone a taste of their freshness."
"Yes." Mu Ya responded.
A carriage came to the village entrance.
After hearing An Yi's report, Shen Yunyue asked Mu Xiujin to accompany Shen Ci'en.
She hurriedly got up and went to the front yard.
As soon as I arrived at the front yard, I met people from Nanli Kingdom who were returning from town.
The carriage was filled with food, cloth and some precious herbs.
The Queen has become familiar with Shen Yunyue these days.
There were not many concerns when the two of them talked.
"Shen Yunyue, this is the food that the Imperial Master and I have in your house. I wanted to give you some silver, but then I realized that it was too vulgar. I can tell from your orchid-like temperament that you are not a vulgar person."
Shen Yunyue raised her eyebrows weakly, "No, I'm just a vulgar person. I like gold, silver and jewelry."
Queen: ... "You are quite shameless."
"Then can you make up for it with gold, silver and jewelry?"
The queen was too tired to complain. "I can't. I am also a mortal. I can't bear to give you gold, silver and jewelry."
