On a hot day, sitting on this thick cushion is actually very hot, but... it's better than suffering on your butt.
“We’ve only been out for a quarter of an hour. Once we sit here tonight, Mother will know whether it hurts or not,” Ye Xianya said with a smile.
Ye Miaoyun remained silent upon hearing this.
Ye Xianya turned her head and saw Ye Miaoyun lifting the small curtain on the side of the carriage and looking back.
"What are you looking at, Mother?" Ye Xianya gently patted her back and asked in a low voice.
"Xianya, look at that carriage behind us. Isn't the person sitting next to the driver your second uncle?" Ye Miaoyun asked in a low voice, holding Ye Xianya's hand.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xianya peeked out and, after a moment, said, "It's him."
"That's strange, why is he here?" Ye Miaoyun asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xianya calculated for a moment before saying, "Mother, they are also going to the capital."
"These bastards are going to the capital too." Ye Miaoyun's eyes widened. "What a small world!"
“This official road leads to the prefectural city. We need to go to the prefectural city first. They also need to go to the prefectural city first to go to the capital. We are all traveling on the same road and are so close to each other. We will definitely meet when we stay at the post station along the way.”
Ye Xianya smiled and said, "But Mother, don't worry, I'm here. They won't get the better of me."
"I'm not in a hurry. I'm not the Ye Miaoyun they used to bully. If they dare to act up in front of me, I'll teach them a lesson." Ye Miaoyun snorted coldly.
“I told my mother before that when I left the Jiang family, I deliberately did some things to their courtyard. The Jiang family has had terrible luck these past two months. They probably left Qingya Village because they were scared and wanted to go to the capital to seek refuge with Jiang Mingtao.”
Ye Xianya smiled, but with a hint of schadenfreude: "Jiang Mingtao is living a glamorous life in the capital and has no intention of acknowledging this poor relative. The five hundred taels of silver were originally intended to get rid of them, but I didn't expect this whole family to think so highly of themselves and insist on going to the capital to seek refuge with them. My daughter and I are in for a good show."
Jiang Mingtao was not only ruthless to his wife and daughters, but also had no affection for his parents and his second brother's family. He had no intention of letting them go to the capital and disturb his peaceful and respectable life.
“Jiang Mingtao married the eldest daughter of the Duke’s family. Qi Chengshuo had already sent someone to investigate for us. The woman’s name is Qi Fangya. Her grandfather was originally the Emperor’s uncle. Later, Qi Fangya’s father made a big mistake and lost his title of prince. He was demoted to Duke of Anguo. In the year Qi Fangya got married, according to the royal custom, she was granted the title of Princess Rong’an County.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Miaoyun's eyes widened: "I thought that woman was just an ordinary daughter of an official, but I didn't expect her to be a member of the imperial family, and a county princess at that."
“Mother, don’t worry. Princess Rong’an’s father made a big mistake and was demoted to Duke by the Emperor. The Emperor doesn’t like Duke Anguo very much, so… just treat them as ordinary members of the imperial family.”
Ye Xianya said with a sarcastic look, "Qi Chengshuo said that the Princess Rong'an is notorious for being a snob and a rich person. Especially in recent years, if the Jiang family comes knocking, the person they want to kick out the most is the Princess Rong'an. However... the Jiang family is no pushover, and they come from a small place. They don't understand the rules and regulations of the capital. There will definitely be some trouble. Let's just wait and see them make a fool of themselves."
Hearing her daughter say this, Ye Miaoyun felt quite hopeful.
As noon approached, the group finally arrived at the nearest post station, where they planned to have lunch and rest for an hour or two before continuing their journey.
On a hot day, especially at noon, traveling at this time can easily lead to heatstroke.
As the heir of the Duan Prince's Mansion, Qi Chengshuo was not short of money at all. The people he sent had arrived at the post station in advance, presented the token of the Duan Prince's Mansion, and gave him a lot of money. The post station dared not slack off in the slightest, and not only prepared rooms for them to rest, but also prepared meals.
"My lady, slow down." Qi Jiu jumped off the carriage and ran over to help Ye Miaoyun down.
Upon seeing this, Qi Chengshuo, sitting on horseback, twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth.
Uncle Nine is really...
Ye Miaoyun didn't want Qi Jiu to help her, but when she saw that the Jiang family had arrived and were standing not far away staring at her and her daughter in disbelief, Ye Miaoyun smiled and reached out her hand.
"Watch your step." Qi Jiu wanted to pick the person up, but he didn't have the guts.
Holding hands is one thing, but if he dares to lift Ye Miaoyun down, this woman will definitely turn against him.
He still cares about his reputation when he's out and about.
“My lady, it’s getting late. Let’s go in for a meal. I had Chengshuo specially prepare four tables of food and ordered your favorite stir-fried river shrimp. Let’s go in and have a taste.” Qi Jiu said as he pulled Ye Miaoyun’s hand and led her into the post station.
Ye Miaoyun was wearing a light blue dress today. It was a new dress she made herself, and it fit her perfectly.
My daughter recently made a special trip to the county town and bought a lot of fabric, which she then distributed to the women in the family.
Everyone made several sets of clothes.
Ye Miaoyun was slender and tall. In addition, she had been living a good life recently and had taken the pills given to her by Ye Xianya to regulate her body. She looked several years younger, with no wrinkles on her face and her skin was fair and rosy.
She was already beautiful, and after styling her hair in a pretty bun and adding the two jade hairpins her daughter had given her, she was completely unrecognizable from her former self.
Now she looks like a lady of high society, not only beautiful but also with outstanding temperament.
As for Ye Xian Ya?
Although she didn't dress up deliberately, the dress was made by Ye Miaoyun herself. It was soft, comfortable, and ethereal. As a cultivator, she gave people a unique feeling just by standing there. With this outfit, she looked exactly like a fairy.
The Jiang family members could hardly believe what they were seeing; they were all dumbfounded.
"Miss Ye, please come in and have your meal. I've already had it prepared. Didn't you want some iced dishes? We have those too!" Qi Chengshuo dismounted and stepped forward with a smile.
"Thank you, Young Master." Ye Xianya said with a smile and followed Qi Chengshuo inside.
"This...just now...was that...was that Ye Miaoyun and Xianya?" Liu Shi could hardly believe it. She grabbed her daughter-in-law Chen Shi's hand and asked in a trembling voice.
A few days ago, when Ms. Chen was cooking, she almost chopped off her finger. Although she had been recuperating for a while, the injury had not fully healed. Suddenly, her mother-in-law grabbed her hand, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Liu was startled and quickly released her, turning to look at Jiang Fuyi standing in front of her: "Old man, say something, isn't that Ye Miaoyun and Xianya?"
"Yes." Jiang Fuyi nodded through gritted teeth.
