Chapter 212 Return to Xianyang

Cui Si lived in Pingshanqi until the end of November before she prepared to return to Xianyang City.

During this period, both the Yan family and the Gong family came to visit her. On the day before returning to Xianyang City, Cui Si personally went to the Yan family to bid farewell to her grandmother, uncle and aunt.

Although it was cold on the day we set off, at least it didn't snow and a lot of the snow had melted, making it the best day to travel in winter.

The group set off as soon as it was dawn, and the carriage drove out of Pingzhou City and headed towards Xianyang City.

Cui Si and Old Lady Xu rode in a carriage, and the two of them sat together, feeling a little warmer.

Yan Xingchuan and Cui Changyou rode in another carriage, following closely behind the two.

Although there were carriages to shelter them from the cold and a deep stove on the carriage for warmth, it was still too cold. After sitting for too long, their legs became numb and they couldn't sleep, so the grandfather and grandson started talking.

Cui Si rested her head on Old Lady Xu's legs and let her comb her hair with a comb.

"What do you think?" asked Mrs. Xu.

"What?"

"What else? The person behind." Old Mrs. Xu said angrily.

These days, Yan Xingchuan has been taking very good care of Cui Si. He has had everything she needs prepared, and they are all the best things, including clothes, jewelry, supplements and food. Everything is really exquisite and complete.

He was also respectful to Old Lady Xu and never put on airs as the King of Northern Yan. Even when he was ridiculed in a sarcastic manner, he did not get angry and would come again next time.

After more than half a month, Mrs. Xu had changed her mind about him a lot. At least she felt that if Cui Si were to get married, there would probably be no one else who would treat her as well as she did.

This made the old lady think about it.

"Grandma." Cui Si rubbed her legs. "Don't worry about him. Let him do whatever he wants."

After she came to terms with it, she just regarded Yan Xingchuan as a persistent pursuer. She would pay attention to him when she wanted to, and ignore him when she didn't want to. If she could stay with him, he would stay, and if not, he could leave.

As for getting married, let's wait until she wants to get married.

She didn't feel any guilt towards him anyway.

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to hear it, grandma won't say it anymore." Old Mrs. Xu shook her head and nodded at her.

After half a month of recuperation, Cui Si's complexion improved a lot, and her face became rosy. However, she was too quiet on weekdays, without any liveliness of a young lady, and looked even older than the old lady herself.

Mrs. Xu felt a little worried: "I should have asked Jiu Niang to accompany you earlier."

"Nine Lady is here and she should be crying. I have to comfort her."

"You, you."

The carriage moved slowly forward, and the whispers in the carriage could be heard from time to time in the carriage behind. Yan Xingchuan leaned against the carriage and listened quietly, wishing he could stretch his ears out.

Cui Changyou glanced at him and then continued to pretend he didn't exist.

"Do you have a problem with me?" Yan Xingchuan opened his eyes and looked at him.

"I dare not." Cui Changyou leaned in without even raising his eyes, and the fact that he didn't like her and didn't want to see her was almost written on his face.

I just can't stand him.

It has to be said that the people in the second branch of the Cui family are all very tough-tempered. None of them is trying to curry favor with the powerful and sell their daughters for wealth and fame.

Yan Xingchuan smiled and was happy for Cui Si. Perhaps it was because of these family members that she felt attached to the human world. Otherwise, she might not even bother to live again.

Yan Xingchuan said, "Actually, my goals don't conflict with yours, right? Jiang Cinian and I can both negotiate, and I just hope Ah Si can be happier."

Cui Changyou wasn't stupid, and replied calmly, "Although there's no conflict, I'm not your grandmother. I won't say anything nice for you, nor will I do anything for you. You should just give up on that thought."

Yan Xingchuan was not annoyed even though his thoughts were seen through at a glance.

His current situation was something he had never been able to achieve before. He had plenty of time and could take it slow.

Thinking of this, Yan Xingchuan reminded him, "If Jiang Cinian contacts you again and is in a bad situation, have him go to Beiyan City. I will have someone make arrangements."

Cui Changyou was stunned, then looked at him in surprise.

Yan Xingchuan explained, "He saved my life. One life for another. I consider my grudge against him to be over. I have no gratitude or resentment. Ah Si cares about him, so if I can help, I might as well do it for Ah Si's sake."

It is truly an unprecedented story that a love rival would behave like this.

"Okay." Cui Changyou said without pretense, "If I really need your help, I'll accept your favor."

"Then say a few good words for me."

"Don't even think about it."

The two men argued intermittently as the carriage continued to move forward. At noon, they stopped to boil some hot water, eat some dry food, drink a bowl of ginger soup, and then continued on their way.

Because of the snow, and because they were carrying Old Lady Xu and Cui Si, the carriage moved very slowly. It was not until midnight that night that they arrived in Xianyang City.

Yan Xingchuan sent the family to the door of Cui's house, and asked someone to carry the gifts and things into Cui's house, and then he took his people away.

Mrs. Xu looked at him in such a hurry and said helplessly, "Why don't you stay for a cup of tea before leaving?"

Cui Changyou said: "He is going to Yayuan, it's not far."

"Wait, Yayuan." Old Madam Xu's face changed slightly as she remembered something. "Didn't Ah Si previously order people to renovate Yayuan, intending to live there with Ci Nian in the future?"

What would happen if Yan Xingchuan went to Yayuan and saw that it was a place arranged for a couple to live in?

"Go and stop them, quickly!"

Although Old Lady Xu didn't know what Cui Si was thinking, she still hoped that they could succeed and didn't want to cause any more trouble between them.

"Alright, don't go." Cui Si said, "Even if he's angry, he can just keep it to himself for a while and it will be fine after a while. Besides, where can we find a place for him to live now? Or should we give up the Cui family's main house?"

There are so many people living in the Cui family's main house, how can they just move out? And it is unreasonable for any monarch to come and directly occupy the main house of another family. That family has no face.

"Don't worry about him. He has hands and feet. He will leave on his own if he can't live here anymore."

Mrs. Xu was speechless for a while, and finally she just broke the jar and said, "Forget it, forget it, let him be. Come on, let's go inside and ask someone to boil some hot water and make some ginger soup."

Yan Xingchuan led the Yanyun Guards all the way to Yayuan.

The guards at the gate of Yayuan were shocked when they saw this.

"King of Beiyan, why are you here?"

No, how did this giant Buddha suddenly appear?

Yun Gang stepped forward and said to him, "My master is sending Princess Wang back to Xianyang. It's late at night, so he's staying here. Just open the door."

The guard dared not disobey, and kept saying "yes" in a daze, then opened the door and let the person in. After the person went in and the door was closed, he was still dizzy.

Yan Xingchuan came to the courtyard where he had lived according to his memory. When he stepped into the courtyard, he didn't recognize it for a long time.
