Chapter 189 Leaving Zhao Mansion
After saying that, he nodded to Rong's mother and walked out of the yard with Qingxing.
"Miss Yu..." Zhao Yan called her, but she still ignored him and walked straight out.
Zhao Yan quickly caught up to her and said, "It was the maid's fault tonight. I will report to my mother tomorrow and she will punish them severely and give Miss Yu justice." He explained anxiously.
Yu Huatang still ignored her and continued walking. Soon they reached the front yard. Zhao Yan stepped forward quickly, even more anxiously. "Huatang..." He held her tightly and said immediately, "Don't leave. They were wrong today. You can punish them however you want."
Yu Huatang looked at him and said, "Master Zhao, I don't demand justice, nor do I need that maid to be punished. I'm just a guest in the Zhao Mansion. I'll be leaving after attending the Lantern Festival next year. If I don't leave after what happened today, I won't be comfortable living here in the future. Do I have to stay and see how you handle your family affairs?"
This was not a comfortable place for her to begin with, and now with this incident, how could she live there in peace!
Zhao Yan let go of her hand and stopped stopping her. Yu Huatang took Qingxing back to the room and immediately packed up.
He called the servants and maids and told them to prepare the carriage and clothes.
After the servant and maid left, he returned to Orchid Garden alone.
After Yu Huatang brought out the things, the maid from Chunhua Pavilion came out to keep her, "Miss Yu, don't leave. This is all the servants' fault. What if you get sick if you go out in the cold winter?"
"Yes, Miss Yu. The New Year is coming soon."
Yu Huatang shook his head. "No matter what, it's inconvenient to live here anymore."
The maid said anxiously, "It's not inconvenient at all. Madam's illness was caused by Miss Yu, so we invited the miracle doctor. If it weren't for Miss Yu, Madam wouldn't have recovered so quickly. It's already midnight and it's cold, Miss Yu, you should stay."
Yu Huatang ignored her and continued walking forward. Another maid came to pull her forward, "Miss Yu, please don't leave. Madam Rong has already gone to call the Madam. The Madam will be here immediately."
At this time, Zhao Yan came over and said, "Let her go, let her go."
The maids looked over and said, "Third Young Master."
"Just go back and tell your mother the truth. I'll handle this."
The maids didn't dare to say anything and just nodded and left.
Zhao Yan came over and handed over two silver notes. "I originally wanted to prepare silver for you, but it's not safe for you to go out. These silver notes can be used in other places. You just need to exchange them at a silver shop."
Yu Huatang took the banknote, and Zhao Yan continued, "I've already ordered a carriage to be prepared, but it's too late now. How about we stay at the inn? It's near the moat. I'll take you there."
Yu Huatang didn't know what to say, then nodded and walked with him.
Zhao Yan immediately ordered someone to take the things from her hand, and after they got on the carriage, he mounted his horse and led them to the moat.
The inn was very large, and any merchant who could open a shop on the moat was either rich or powerful.
Yu Huatang took Qingxing out of the car, and Zhao Yan went to the counter to ask for a room first.
The waiter said there were still some room types left.
"The biggest and most comfortable one."
The waiter said, "Then how about the Tianzi Room? Food and hot water are provided in the room at any time of day and night, and the tea is top-grade Jin Jun Mei. Five taels of silver per night."
"Okay." Zhao Yan handed over the money. However, Yu Huatang beat him to it and gave it to the person at the counter.
The man took it. Zhao Yan glanced at Yu Huatang and finally said nothing and accepted the silver.
The shopkeeper took the money and gave them the key.
He instructed, "If you have a headache or fever or feel unwell, our shop also provides errands, and you two ladies can also ask for it."
When they went upstairs, Zhao Yan said to her, "There's a lot of room here, so I've booked one for you. It's convenient for you to be taken care of. The room has everything you need. If you need anything else, just ask the waiter to get it for you."
Yu Huatang nodded.
The waiter had already opened the door, and it was indeed very large. Although it was just one room, it was separated by screens, and various areas were decorated very elegantly.
The waiter lit twelve lamps, making it as bright as day.
Qingxing saw the furnishings clearly and couldn't help but marvel at the price. No wonder it cost five taels of silver. She remembered seeing such a carpet in the Zhao Mansion, but she didn't expect that such a luxurious carpet was used here as well.
"Okay, if you two need anything, just come downstairs and call us." The waiter left.
Yu Huatang looked at Zhao Yan and said, "Thank you, sir. You can go back and rest first."
"Okay, you rest first. I'll send a car to take you to Tianjing Pavilion tomorrow."
"No need. I saw a car rental place outside. I can go there by myself." Yu Huatang said.
Zhao Yan stopped talking, just nodded, and went downstairs.
Yu Huatang closed the door. Zhao Yan looked at it dejectedly and took out a hundred taels of silver and gave it to the shopkeeper. "This is for the room fees of the two ladies. I will come back in a few days. I will deduct one day's rent for each day they stay, and the rest will be given to them."
After that, he handed over some silver and said, "This is for you alone. Please help me keep an eye on the two ladies and ensure their safety."
The shopkeeper smiled broadly, took the silver, and assured, "Don't worry, sir. I will make sure that the two ladies will be very comfortable staying here with me, and there will be no accidents."
"Thank you." Zhao Yan said and left.
In the Zhao Mansion, Xu Yuanyi cried and cried, telling the whole story. Mrs. Zhao was also annoyed after listening to her and asked her to go back and rest.
"What kind of thing is this? We've been made a laughing stock for no reason. We invited people from far away, and then kicked them out during the New Year. Sigh..." Mrs. Zhao had just recovered from a serious illness and was extremely worried. "I don't know what Qi Bi was thinking. He actually agreed to let her go."
"Don't worry, Madam. Wait for the young master to come tomorrow and ask him and you'll know." Mother Rong comforted her.
"Let's not worry about tomorrow for now. Find a chance to let the maid Chu Rui go home. What a shame! It's not right to treat a guest like this." Madam Zhao couldn't help but get angry.
"I've made note of that. Madam, you should get some rest early."
The next morning, Zhao Yanshan went to Mrs. Zhao's room first.
It would be hard for him not to know about something like this happening in the backyard.
After Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, she apologized, "It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of them." Then she burst into tears.
Zhao Yanshan held her shoulders and said, "You are also too busy to handle everything. What are you going to do now?"
Madam Zhao said, "The miscarriage probably wasn't caused by the Second Young Master's family. I'm afraid it was just a coincidence. As for the maid who died, it's been so long and there's no evidence. Regardless, the Second Young Master's family was wrong. She targeted Concubine Huang for no reason. It's unbecoming. She can't be allowed to be in this family anymore."
Zhao Yanshan said, "Then give it to the fourth brother's family."
"Oh, the fourth son's family is too playful. None of them are worry-free. The same goes for Qi Bi. I don't know what kind of girl he wants. This family is not suitable, and that family is not suitable either..." Mrs. Zhao said worriedly.
