Apricot Rain Lane.
Bai Ruoyue covered her face late at night and went out through the back door.
In the dark night, a man wearing a burqa was waiting there.
Bai Ruyue carefully looked around, and after confirming that no one was around, she walked up to the man and asked in a low voice, "Did you bring the things?"
The man in black took out two jade bottles, but did not hand them to her. He just said in a hoarse voice, "Don't forget our conditions."
Bai Ruyue frowned, "Don't worry, I will find a way."
The man in black seemed to be thinking, and after a pause he handed her two jade bottles, one white and one black.
"The white ones will make him inseparable from you, and the black ones can kill him. Just use them wisely."
Bai Ruyue took it nervously and was about to ask something when the man in black disappeared in front of her.
She held the two jade bottles, looked at them again, and finally returned to the yard.
She returned to the room and found Wei Jiaojiao still sitting under the lamp.
Bai Ruyue looked at her little daughter, holding the two jade bottles in her hands, and frowned: "Jiaojiao, is this really possible?"
Wei Jiaojiao looked mature and patted her chest: "Mom, just believe me, as long as you have these, Dad will definitely listen to you!"
…
Before returning to Beijing, Yuan Zhao was very busy.
She was busy packing her luggage, wanting to take back everything she had brought to Yangzhou.
Because she had no intention of returning to this place.
There are enough things for the children, neither too many nor too few, and now that we have enough manpower, we can pack them up properly.
Wei Shaoqing came back several times and noticed that the yard was getting emptier and emptier, which made him feel strange.
In response, Yuan Zhao simply said that he was using the time to clean up to get rid of some old things.
Wei Shaoqing no longer had any doubts.
In fact, Yuan Zhao did deal with a lot of old things.
Over the years, Wei Shaoqing has given her quite a few things.
The jade pendant he gave her before they got married, the lanterns he bought when they went out together, the amulets he prayed for at the temple...
Over the past ten years, she has collected these old things that were buried at the bottom of the box bit by bit.
Looking through them now, she still remembers some of them, but has already forgotten some of them.
But the fact that it was put away proved that at that moment in the past, she really wanted to keep it for a lifetime.
As time goes by, I realize that it is nothing more than that.
What should be forgotten has been forgotten.
She piled these old things in the yard, lit a fire with her own hands, and burned them all clean.
Those who left me, yesterday cannot be kept.
She also visited Shoen-dang.
Nowadays, the old lady sits in bed every day, unable to get up or speak.
Wei Shaoqing finally took out a lot of medicinal herbs to provide for his old mother. After some time, her mind seemed to have recovered a little.
Because when she saw Yuan Zhao, a fierce light flashed in her eyes.
Yuan Zhao sat by the bed, took the medicine bowl from Nanny Cui, and scooped it out one spoonful at a time.
Nanny Cui lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Yuan Zhao at all.
Yuan Zhao scooped a spoonful of medicine and fed it to the old lady's mouth.
"Mom, it's time to take your medicine."
The old lady had a gloomy face and tightly closed her lips.
Yuan Zhao's lips curled up into a smile. "Mother, why do you have to do this? Only by taking good care of yourself can you see your grandchildren flourish, right?"
Grandchildren?
Nanny Cui swallowed and asked, "Is the one Yuan Zhao was talking about from Xingyu Lane?"
After the old lady was tortured like this, Yuan Zhao only sent someone to tell Aunt Cui that her sons and grandsons were in her hands.
Nothing more was said about the rest.
Nanny Cui has been watching the old lady's miserable condition for some time, and she has become more and more suspicious that Yuan Zhao has already known about the incident in Xingyu Lane.
But she has been enduring it.
Thinking back to when Wei Wanxue was caught cheating, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Yuan Zhao was taking revenge on all the members of the Wei family!
She didn't say anything. The old lady babbled and her face was full of anger.
Yuan Zhao had a smile on his face, still looking as easy-going as before.
But the old lady and Aunt Cui both knew that the Yuan Zhao in front of them was no longer the Yuan Zhao of the past.
"How come my grandchildren, whom my mother loved so much, didn't even say a word to her after she fell into trouble?"
"Mother said, do they really regard mother as their grandmother?"
Hearing this, the old lady was obviously emotional and her eyes widened.
No! Her good Tianci and Jiaojiao must be thinking about her, she is their grandmother!
But the fact is, ever since she was carried back from the gate of Wei Mansion that day, not only Wei Jiaojiao, but also Bai Ruyue had never expressed any concern.
Yuan Zhao scoffed again and continued, "What's the point of grandchildren? Shao Qing doesn't come to Songyan Hall very often, does he?"
Wei Shaoqing only visited the old lady once after he came back and never came again.
"And my mother's own daughter, Wei Wanxue, I heard she had a miscarriage in the capital. Jiang Liu has a wife and more than a dozen concubines in his house."
She shook her head regretfully and sighed, "Mother, how can Wei Wanxue, a concubine without any family background, gain a foothold in the Jiang family?"
The old lady became angrier as she listened, her chest heaving violently, and she raised her hand to hit Yuan Zhao.
Yuan Zhao just dodged by turning his body.
She stood up and looked down at the old lady, "Don't worry, mother. My daughter-in-law will take good care of Wanxue when she returns to Beijing."
"Just take your medicine and wait for good news."
…
The night before leaving, Shen Yunzhou was talking to Yuan Zhao in Fengqiyuan about his plans after returning to Beijing.
"I think Xiaoyu's condition might not be suitable for a place like the capital. Why don't I let him go back to the academy with me? The academy is quiet and better than the noisy palace."
This time, Shen Yunzhou and Lu Chengyi also accompanied him back.
Yuan Zhao nodded, she also agreed with this arrangement.
"However, I must go to the capital to see my father and my brother first."
Shen Yunzhou waved his fan, "It's natural."
He then said to Yuan Zhao, "Yesterday, Wei Shaoqing came to me and told me that he wanted to recommend a young man to study at the academy and hoped that I would be flexible."
As he spoke, he observed Yuan Zhao's expression.
Yuan Zhao smiled instead and looked at him: "It must be Wei Tianen."
"He has made very thoughtful plans for his son," she said with a sardonic smile.
Seeing that she knew, Shen Yunzhou no longer tried to hide it. "I originally wanted to beat him up and scold him! But then I thought, those evil creatures of his are not the kind to stay quiet. Wouldn't it be better to keep them under my watch?"
From what Shen Yunzhou said, he actually wanted Wei Tianen to enroll in school.
Yuan Zhao did not agree immediately, as she was still a little worried.
She didn't want to involve the Shen family in this matter.
Shen Yunzhou smiled, but he saw through her thoughts at a glance, and tapped her forehead with a fan like when he was little:
"Silly girl, we are a family, we can't deny our relationship."
Yuan Zhao felt pain and touched her forehead. She said, "Let me think about it again." She looked at Chen Yunzhou again, "Cousin, do you still remember what I told you?"
Chen Yunzhou waved his fan and nodded, "I remember! Xiao Zhao'er, you've been talking so much that my ears are almost callused."
"Stay away from Wei Wanxue, stay away from Wei Wanxue, stay away from Wei Wanxue!"
