While Shen Yunzhou and Yuan Zhao were talking, Wei Shaoqing's personal servant came to deliver his message.
"The master said that the boat back to Beijing is ready and there is plenty of space on board. It just so happens that the mother of the Tianci Juren from Xingyu Lane is also going to Beijing and wants to take her and her child with her."
As the servant spoke, he glanced at Yuan Zhao's expression intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing that she was just stunned for a moment, as if she couldn't remember which house it was, he asked back, "Xingyu Lane? ...But that Mrs. Bai?"
The servant nodded nervously, "That's right."
Yuan Zhao pretended to be indifferent: "I heard that her eldest son passed the imperial examination at such a young age. I believe he will achieve great things in the future."
"Since my Lord wants to do me a favor, then take it with you."
After the servant left, Shen Yunzhou asked her with a serious expression, "Let's go back to the capital together. Do you want to take advantage of the opportunity on the boat...?"
Yuan Zhao's eyes flickered slightly, "You can try."
But she was still not sure about Wei Jiaojiao's abilities, so she could test them out on the boat this time.
…
Wei Shaoqing waited until Yuan Zhao and the children were on board and settled in properly, and only took Bai's mother and children on board when the boat was about to leave.
In order to avoid meeting Yuan Zhao as much as possible.
Although she didn't show any abnormality when the servant asked her that day, it seems that she is still kept in the dark.
But now that I am going back to Beijing, I have to be cautious in everything I do.
But Wei Shaoqing was also very confident. After all, when he was in the capital, he was not discovered under so many eyes, and it was even more impossible now.
What's more, he felt a little guilty because now there is not only the Bai family, but also Qin Xin.
So when Yuan Zhao sent someone over to say that there were too many things on the ship and only one cabin was left at the stern, Wei Shaoqing could only frown and say to Bai Ruyue, "Niang Yue, I have to inconvenience you and the children for the time being."
Over the years, Bai Ruyue had been pampered by Wei Shaoqing, so when she saw the small and crowded cabin, her face immediately fell.
"Why?! I won't live here!" She subconsciously refused and got angry.
But when she turned around and saw Wei Shaoqing's gloomy face, she changed to acting coquettishly:
"My dear, I don't want to live here..."
Wei Shaoqing took a step back to avoid her arm that was about to climb over him, and Bai Ruyue's face changed.
"Yue Niang, I told you to be more careful on the boat!"
After that, he asked the servant, "Is there any other place?"
The servant lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency, His Highness said that only this room and the bottom cabin are left."
The bottom hold is where cargo is stored, and it's even worse than this one.
Thinking of this, Bai Ruyue could only compromise and say, "Then let's take this one..."
Wei Shaoqing nodded. Bai Ruyue moved slightly closer and winked at him softly, "My dear, we still have quite a few days on the boat. Will you come over tonight? Or I can go find you..."
Wei Shaoqing thought about it and realized that he had no official duties for a while and the nights were long, so he could find something to do to pass the time.
But when he looked at Bai Ruyue, he missed Qin Xin more.
Therefore, he did not agree immediately, but only said vaguely: "We'll see when the time comes."
"I shouldn't stay any longer, so I'm leaving now."
After Wei Shaoqing turned around and left, Bai Ruyue stood there without moving, looking unhappy.
She always had a feeling that Wei Shaoqing had been a little perfunctory towards her recently.
Was it because of Yuan Zhao? Could it be that Yuan Zhao had seduced him again?
Bai Ruyue became more and more panicked.
Yuan Zhao's appearance was far superior to hers. In the past, Bai Ruyue relied on the old lady to drug Yuan Zhao, making her mentally weak and bedridden. Wei Shaoqing naturally found it difficult to be moved by her sick face.
But now that the old lady is gone, Yuan Zhao's health is improving.
As long as Yuan Zhao is willing to lower herself, Wei Shaoqing will definitely be with her...
The fact that Wei Shaoqing made Yuan Zhao give birth to four children is enough to show how attractive Yuan Zhao is!
Wei Tianen and Wei Jiaojiao were playing in the cabin when Bai Ruyue suddenly pushed the door open and came in, rummaging through the boxes they had brought.
She turned to the bottom and took out a white jade bottle.
It seems that she needs to use some tricks.
…
Qin Xin had always been confused about what Yuan Zhao said that day about giving her a chance.
It was not until she followed the Wei family onto the boat back to Beijing and saw Bai that she understood something.
When Qin Xin first heard that Bai had come aboard, she thought it was just a favor.
But several times, she saw Bai Ruyue outside Wei Shaoqing's cabin.
Due to Yuan Zhao's arrangement, Qin Xin and Qin Yao's cabins were next to Wei Shaoqing.
She could see what was happening outside Wei Shaoqing's cabin through the crack in the door.
Late at night, when Qin Xin was about to go to Wei Shaoqing, she heard a knock on Wei Shaoqing's door.
Through the crack in the door, she saw Bai Ruyue in a white dress that outlined her slim figure.
Wei Shaoqing opened the door and seemed to say something to her, "Didn't I tell you not to come over?"
But he still welcomed her into the house.
About half an hour later, Bai Ruyue left in a hurry with disheveled clothes.
Is there anything else Qin Xin doesn’t understand?
Considering that Bai had three other children, they also seemed to have the surname "Wei".
She vaguely felt the truth of the matter, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.
Wei Shaoqing is so bold!
What’s even more terrifying is that Yuan Zhao knows all of this. So what will happen after the ship arrives in Beijing?
The princess looked at him and knew that he was definitely not someone who could tolerate all this.
But Qin Xin couldn't guess Yuan Zhao's thoughts. In her opinion, people like Wei Shaoqing and Yuan Zhao were all powerful people.
She had never left Yangzhou in her life. Now that she had the opportunity to go to the capital, she naturally had to be careful about everything.
At first, she just wanted to rely on Wei Shaoqing. If she could become a concubine, she would be satisfied with having a place to stay for the rest of her life.
But now she realized that she had been forced to be involved between Wei Shaoqing and Yuan Zhao.
If she went to the capital, Yuan Zhao would use her status as a princess to deal with Wei Shaoqing, and then her future life would be in jeopardy.
So what should she do?
Qin was thinking about these things, so she didn't go to Wei Shaoqing's place that night, but went to bed alone.
…
Several families gathered on a boat, and Yuan Zhao knew everything that happened on the entire boat.
After hearing Fushan say that Bai Ruyue asked a man in black to take two things and used one of them on Wei Shaoqing, she began to guess what these things were.
Something that makes Wei Shaoqing obey her?
It must not be a good thing.
While she was thinking, Fu Guang reported another matter: "Your Highness, I have recently discovered that Miss Qin Yao seems to be paying quite attention to the eldest young master."
The work of the secret guards is to pay attention to every detail. Fu Guang knew how important the eldest son was to Yuan Zhao, so when he found that something was wrong with Qin Yao, he reported it to Yuan Zhao immediately.
Yuan Zhao frowned slightly.
Qin Yao is young, so it is normal for her to have some thoughts.
But she and Qin Xin are sisters, and Qin Xin has already followed Wei Shaoqing. No matter what, Qin Yao cannot have anything to do with Mu Sheng.
"I will handle this matter, please leave."
