"Sister Ru, what do you mean by this? Do you want to find someone new to marry?"

"No, I'm already a married woman, and a divorced woman. I'm not my uncle's daughter, so I'm not suitable to live in the palace. If it weren't for my personal affairs, I wouldn't have returned to the capital with you. Now everything is clear, my wish has been fulfilled, and it's time to leave the palace and live my own life."

She didn't want to live in the palace. She felt that this was not her home. She felt that living in the palace was not right and proper. Moreover, she was a divorced woman and should not bring gossip to the palace.

"Where can you go after leaving the palace?" Yu Yuzheng asked worriedly.

"My eldest brother gave me 100,000 taels of silver from the Lin family. This amount of money is enough to support my mother and me. I plan to buy a small house in Beijing and live with Yue'er. Then I will look for suitable shops and buy one or two to do some small business to support my mother and me."

Shangguan Ru had already thought about it.

Find a civilian area, hide your identity, pretend that your husband has died and you are a widow, and live with your daughter.

Unless you meet someone you know, no one would have thought that she was once a lady from Prince Rong's Mansion.

"Sister Ru, have you ever thought that you are an orphan and a widow, and it is easy to be bullied, especially since you are so young and beautiful. If you don't have a man to protect you, how can you protect yourself and Yue'er to grow up safely?"

Yu Yuzheng knew very well how dangerous it was for a widowed woman in ancient times.

"I can hire two more servants, it won't be a big problem. If I really encounter any problems, I will ask my sister-in-law for help." Shangguan Ru was very determined.

Alas, Yu Zheng didn’t understand why she was so stubborn.

"I'll talk to your elder brother tonight and see what he thinks." Yu Yu Zheng didn't know how to persuade him.

It was the couple who brought the person back, so they couldn't just leave him alone.

It was impossible for her to remain a widow with her two-year-old daughter.

I don't think my mother and the king would mind either.

Although she was the daughter of the second wife, she had never hurt the first wife from beginning to end, and she was also a victim.

Moreover, if it weren't for the fact that she looked so much like her biological mother, perhaps these secrets of the palace might not have been revealed.

She is the most important witness.

Shangguan Ziqi has been very busy these days.

The couple went out twice and opened many shops along the way.

Shopkeeper He has been opening medicine shops outside non-stop.

By now, there are no less than thirty families in the entire Wei Dynasty.

Moreover, the border towns close to Southern Shu Kingdom still need supplies from Southern Shu Kingdom.

Many things were arranged by Shangguan Ziqi through letters, directly contacting Manager He and the couple who arranged the storekeeper.

And military supplies.

This stall is very big.

The guards all have to help with the shop's affairs.

For example, helping to reply to letters, send letters, settle accounts, investigate, etc.

It was not until the evening that Shangguan Ziqi returned from the study in the outer courtyard.

After dinner, Yu Zheng told Shangguan Ru about her plan.

Shangguan Ziqi is the true thinker of the ancients, and he can best understand Shangguan Ru's thoughts.

Yu Zheng didn't feel anything about moving back to her parents' home.

"What does Madam think?" Shangguan Ziqi listened and wanted to hear Madam's attitude.

"Of course I don't approve of her living alone. Don't you know that widows are prone to gossip? And she's so pretty. What if she meets some daring men who disregard Sister Ru's wishes and bully her?"

A powerless woman certainly cannot live alone.

Even if you buy two houses, it won’t work for you.

"You're right." Shangguan Ziqi thought about it and an idea came to his mind.

"Madam, if we force her to stay in the palace, she won't feel comfortable even if she stays. She is very sensitive and will care about even a few comments from the servants. I have an idea."

"What idea?" Yu Zheng's eyes immediately lit up.

"Do you still remember the county magistrate of Mingyang County? He asked us to marry Sister Ru."

"Are you talking about that third place winner, Zhong Weiliang?"

"Yes, it's him. We can send him to Mingyang County and ask him to take care of Sister Ru. Besides, he is Xiao Yue'er's adopted father. This is the most legitimate reason."

"Yes, yes. Besides, the place is quite far from the capital, and no one knows that she is a daughter of the Rong Palace. No one knows that she is a divorced woman. People only say that she is a woman whose husband has died.

"you're right."

"But you can't tell Sister Ru about this openly. Just tell her about the benefits of Mingyang County. I will send Qingfeng and Mingyue to escort her there personally and help her settle down before she comes back."

"I guess Lord Zhong will be so happy that he will wake up laughing in his dreams." Yu Yuzheng was very satisfied with this idea.

The next day, Yu Zheng told Shangguan Ru about this idea.

Shangguan Ru thought about it and felt that this was indeed a good idea.

It’s not too far from Beijing. If I want to go back to the palace to see my aunt someday, it’ll only take a day.

There is Yue'er's loyalty.

It’s just a county town, a small place, what doesn’t the county know?

He knows very well which pieces of land there are and which villains there are.

As long as we tell others that Yue'er is the county magistrate's adopted daughter, who would dare to bully her?

Having made up her mind, Shangguan Ru went straight to the princess and told her about her plan.

The princess was still a little confused.

Why do you suddenly want to leave the palace?

Yu Yuzheng did not tell the princess about Zhong Weiliang, but immediately told her that Yue'er had taken Zhong Weiliang as her sworn brother.

When the princess heard this, she was surprised. Is this true?

After thinking about it, I felt that it was indeed better to stay there than in the capital.

The capital city is a sad place for Ruer.

Moreover, it is not far away, so it won’t take much time to ask the palace for help if there is anything.

The matter was decided, and Shangguan Ziqi arranged for someone to send the mother and daughter across the river.

The princess directly selected a family from the palace and gave it to Shangguan Ru.

A couple in their thirties and their two children.

The princess felt more at ease with two handsome men around.

The palace also gave Shangguan Ru a lot of jewelry, saying that it was for Yue'er as a dowry in the future.

This is obviously just an excuse.

By the time Yue'er was old enough to get married, those jewellery were already out of date.

Where can it be used?

But since it was a gift from the elder, Shangguan Ru had no choice but to accept it.

Only from the princess did she feel cared for and loved.

The third wife used to be strict with her, requiring her to observe the virtues of a woman, be filial to her elders, and take care of her younger siblings.

Never cared about her feelings.

Although she was not deprived of any food, clothing and other daily necessities, she realized after comparison that the Third Lady had never loved her at all.

On the day he came back, his biological mother only gave him a brief moment of care before she died.

Holding the jewelry box in her hand, Shangguan Ru couldn't help but tears up her eyes.

"Good child, live a good life in the future. If you meet the right person, just marry him. A woman should always have a family. If you have a son in the future, you will have someone to rely on when you are old and someone to take care of you. Although Yue'er is good, she will eventually get married."

The princess spoke with deep concern for her from the bottom of her heart.

"Thank you, aunt." Shangguan Ru choked up as she thanked him.

Having made up her mind, Shangguan Ru didn't want to stay any longer, so she packed her things and got on the carriage on the third day.

The breeze and the bright moon were running on both sides of the carriage.

What Shangguan Ru didn't expect was that someone was waiting for her at the gate of Mingyang County.
