Gu Qingchen's face was gloomy. He looked at Ye Yu. Ye Yu bowed and saluted under the huge pressure, saying, "My subordinates have sent Aunt Lan and the young master back to the mansion."
Tang Chuyao nodded and said, "You've worked hard!"
Seeing that Tang Chuyao had no other arrangements, Ye Yu quickly left. Tonight, she wore a human skin mask and disguised herself as Nanny Zhang, while Ye Mei disguised herself as Nanny Wang, successfully exposing Tang Youze's true colors.
After Ye Yu left, Gu Qingchen also left not long after staying.
Tang Chuyao turned around and went back to the front hall. Sure enough, her grandparents and uncles were still there. Tang Chuyao told Chi Yuandao what she was thinking.
Chi Yuandao nodded and said, "Xu Rulan is indeed the orphan your mother rescued before her death!"
"Since Yongbo's residence has been seized, let's do as you wish and let them move to the general's residence!"
They were going to return to Northern Frontier this time, and since the General's Mansion was empty anyway, it would be good to have someone of their own to look after it.
"Then the granddaughter would like to thank the grandfather on behalf of Aunt Lan!"
Chi Yuandao was very satisfied when he heard Tang Chuyao's address and became happy instantly.
Early the next morning, Yinghe loaded the luggage she had packed earlier onto the carriage and looked back at Yongbo's Mansion. This was where she had stayed for sixteen years and her master had also lost his life here, so Yinghe had no feelings for this place!
She and Xu Rulan brought Tang Chuheng to the general's mansion, and Chi Yuandao and Tang Chuyao stood at the door to greet them.
The moment Xu Rulan saw Chi Yuandao, her eyes slightly turned red, and she hurriedly took Tang Chuheng forward to pay her respects.
Tang Chuyao helped them up and said with a smile, "Welcome home!"
Xu Rulan cried and smiled and nodded, then took Tang Chuheng's hand and followed Tang Chuyao into the house.
The moment Chi Yuandao saw Yinghe, he thought of his daughter Chi Ran, and became very depressed. He took Yinghe to the front hall to ask questions...
Xu Rulan's yard had been tidied up long ago, and Tang Chuyao took the mother and son to her own yard.
The yard is clean and tidy. There are two peach trees and an old locust tree in the yard. The wall side of the yard is filled with flower pots with colorful flowers, which is very beautiful.
The courtyard is divided into two parts by a circular inner door. There are two side rooms on the outside and two more side rooms in the inner courtyard.
The mother and son each had half of the yard.
Even if Tang Chuheng grew up and lived in it, it was divided into two courtyards after all.
Xu Rulan quickly pulled Tang Chuheng to thank Tang Chuyao for her thoughtfulness. She was full of gratitude and said, "Thank you, young lady, for making such a detailed arrangement for me and my son!"
Tang Chuyao quickly held Xu Rulan's arm, "Auntie Lan, I will call you this from now on."
Xu Rulan smiled and nodded.
"Aunt Lan, we are a family from now on!" Tang Chuyao looked at Tang Chuheng, "Heng'er, you should change your name back to your own name in the future!"
Tang Chuyao knew that Tang Chuheng was not Tang Youze's child, but out of politeness, she never asked Xu Rulan who the father of the child was.
Xu Rulan looked at Tang Chuheng and said, "Young lady, please give this child a name!"
"The child's son is a scholar whom I met a few years ago. The scholar's family was poor, but he passed the imperial examination and was favored by the daughter of the current Minister of Rites, who became her son-in-law."
Xu Rulan spoke very quietly, as if she was talking about other people's affairs that had nothing to do with herself.
"This child has suffered a lot following me, and he has been very sensible since he was young."
Xu Rulan hesitated for a moment, and asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Young lady, can we let this child take the general's surname?"
Tang Chuyao wanted to ask, what if the child's parents want to recognize Heng'er back then?
But on second thought, after Shubo got promoted, he never came to see Xu Rulan and her son again. It was obvious that he had abandoned them!
Why should Xu Rulan wait there when Shu wanted it?
"Auntie Lan, I'll talk to Grandma about this, it's not a problem!"
After saying that, Tang Chuyao touched Tang Chuheng's head and smiled gently, "After that, Heng'er is really my brother!"
Tang Chuheng was very happy. He liked Tang Chuyao very much. He was very sad when his mother said that he was not Tang Chuyao's brother. Now, after hearing Tang Chuyao's words, he was very happy and surrounded Tang Chuyao and called sweetly, "Sister!"
"Heng'er likes sister!"
Tang Chuyao pinched his round little face, talked to Xu Rulan for a while, and then left.
My aunt will come today, and I guess her carriage has already left the palace.
She hurried to the gate of the mansion, where her grandfather was already waiting, and her uncle and cousin were also there.
Early this morning, my uncle and cousin were busy arranging arrangements to welcome my aunt at the mansion. Today the general's mansion was more lively than usual.
Soon the eunuch arrived at the door, and a quarter of an hour later Chi Yue's carriage slowly drove over.
Chi Yue got out of the carriage with the help of Zhilan, followed by Princess Yongle.
Chi Yue was seen wearing gorgeous clothes. Unlike yesterday when her hair was covered with pearls and jade, today she only wore a hairpin, which was simple, elegant and quiet.
He smiled slightly and looked at Chi Yuandao and the others.
Chi Yuandao led everyone to pay respect to Chi Yue and Princess Yongle, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine, Your Highness Princess!"
Chi Yue held up Chi Yuandao's arms with both hands and looked at everyone, "Dear, big brother, no need to be so polite!"
Princess Yongle was dressed rather casually today, her palm-sized face full of joy. She had heard a lot of rumors about her grandfather and uncle in the palace, and her eyes were full of admiration for them!
When she looked at Tang Chuyao again, she smiled at her. She liked this little cousin very much and felt that the previous rumors about her were all deliberate slander against her.
"Yongle, come and meet your grandfather and uncle." Chi Yue's voice rang out.
Princess Yongle took a step forward and called out sweetly, "Grandfather, uncle."
Chi Yuandao smiled happily and led everyone to the front hall.
The guests had already prepared tea, snacks and seasonal fruits.
Chi Yue hadn't seen her dear brother for many years and felt very emotional, especially when she saw the white hair on Chi Yuandao's temples.
"The Cloud Boat has grown so big! Time flies so fast!"
Chi Bingren also had a lot of feelings, thinking back to when his sister married Emperor Song. At that time, Emperor Song had not yet ascended the throne and was just an ordinary prince. It was because of the support of the General's Mansion that he had the opportunity to compete for the crown prince...
Until Emperor Song ascended the throne, everyone envied the glory of their Chi family, but only they themselves knew the difficulties involved.
The king appreciates capable ministers, but the princess does not want to see ministers who are too powerful to be respected.
During the last few years of the late emperor's reign, perhaps because of his old age, he believed in slander and was quite critical of the Chi family.
For the survival of the entire family, they originally did not stand on the side of any prince, but had to make a choice and support Emperor Song.
Fortunately, Emperor Song finally became the emperor without any danger, which saved the Chi family.
