Chapter 402 Xu Xuan recovers from illness and starts to have bad thoughts again
The journey from Yun'an County to Shangjing is very long and passes through several states.
Even if you take a carriage, it will take about ten days.
What's more, the entourage of Eunuch Wang, Duke Ningguo and others still had to walk, so their speed was even slower.
By this calculation, it will probably take at least half a month.
All of Xiao Ying's people were sitting in carriages, so she bought a large carriage pulled by two horses.
In addition, there are two ordinary carriages used to carry goods.
She brought a lot of things this time, including items from all the major workshops.
First, it is convenient for your own use; second, you can make friends and give it to others; third, you can use it to open up the market.
That's right, she planned to take this opportunity to open a shop in Shangjing.
There are many people with a lot of money in Beijing, and these things of hers are rare, so they will definitely sell for a high price.
Except for a few monks disguised as coachmen, the rest of Xiao Qian, Xiao Yi and others were practicing in the immortal palace space and were not exposed to outsiders for the time being.
Chen Xinghai and his two siblings and Meng Qingying would sometimes enter the Immortal Palace.
Instead of sitting in a boring carriage, it is better to go into the fairy palace and do what you like.
But Xiao Ying had no choice because Ning Leshu always looked for her and even wanted to ride in the same car with her.
However, I still had the opportunity to go to the Immortal Palace to practice at night, so my practice was not neglected.
A few days after setting off, Xiao Ying took the second high-level spiritual pill and successfully grew a second mysterious spiritual root.
The roots of the other spiritual roots also grew, and the earth spiritual root directly transformed into a yellow spiritual root.
In this way, her cultivation speed became even faster, surpassing Meng Qingying's Xuan spiritual root and approaching Ling Yun's Di spiritual root.
Chen Xinghai, his two siblings, and Meng Qingying also took the second intermediate spiritual pill and grew a second yellow spiritual root.
Chen Xingyue has three yellow spiritual roots, and her cultivation speed is comparable to that of the black spiritual roots.
Xiao Ying did not give Ling Yun the spiritual pill, as Ling Yun had an extremely rare earth spiritual root.
Even if he had a few more yellow spiritual roots or one more black spiritual root, it would not mean much to him.
It’s better to keep it for people who are really useful.
When Xiao Ying and others were heading to Shangjing, many people in Shangjing were watching this matter.
Some came just to watch the fun, while others were curious about her as the first-rank Lady Anguo.
Others are filled with hatred and anger.
Xu Xuan was one of those who hated her.
Ever since Han Ye’s identity as the fake prince was exposed last time, she has been so angry that she is bedridden.
My health had improved, but then I heard that Xiao Ying was promoted to the first-rank Lady Anguo.
So he fell ill again.
It wasn't until these two days that my health finally improved.
Although I am not as healthy as I used to be, at least I can go for a walk outside.
This serious illness made her mature a lot. She was no longer as impulsive as before, and she even managed to hide her emotions.
He no longer acted bossy in the mansion and treated his servants much kinder.
The servants speculated that she had a sense of crisis and wanted to appear considerate and generous.
But no matter what, the mansion has become much calmer and more stable, and everyone feels that life is better.
That day, Xu Xuan used the excuse of going to the temple to burn incense and went out with her confidante, Nanny Li, without even telling the truth to her three children.
The carriage circled the city and finally headed towards the residence of the Minister of Personnel.
She figured it out and realized that she could not be Xiao Ying's opponent on her own and she had to ask her family for help.
Her father is the Minister of Personnel, and her mother is used to the struggles in the harem, so she can definitely give her some advice.
When he arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, his father Xu Ji had just returned from his post.
Seeing her look like she had just recovered from a serious illness, I couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Her mother, Liu, was even more concerned about her, making her feel the warmth she had not felt for a long time.
Xu Xuan's eyes suddenly turned red and tears fell.
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry for being useless and making you worry... wuwuwu..."
During her illness, Liu visited her twice, once when Ning Leshu was still in Beijing, and the other time not long ago.
At that time, she knew that only her family cared about her life or death.
"My poor daughter, how could the Ning family treat you so badly?"
"Do I really want to drive you out of the mansion just for a widow who grew up in the countryside?"
Liu hugged the girl in her arms out of heartache, and the mother and daughter cried together.
The affair between Han Ye and Xiao Ying caused a sensation in Shangjing.
As Xu Xuan's parents, how could they not know about it?
Although the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, everyone knew that it was just an excuse.
Even if the truth is found out, it will not be announced publicly until the war is over.
This is actually a good thing for them.
But Duke Ning and Ning Leshu couldn't wait to go to Yun'an County and bring the woman back.
What’s even more hateful is that even the emperor ordered Xiao to come to Beijing to receive the title and reward in person.
Xiao Ying will definitely come to Beijing this time.
How would their poor daughter cope with the situation then? And what would happen to their three poor grandchildren?
"There's no need to worry too much about this."
Xu Ji frowned slightly when he heard this, and a look of worry flashed across his eyes.
"Even if Han Ye is not the heir of the Marquisate, he is still the third-rank Weiyuan General personally appointed by the Emperor."
"And you are still the general's wife, and your three children are also the general's sons."
"Besides, as long as the war in Beizhou continues, the emperor will not announce the outcome of Han Ye's punishment."
"This gives us time. After all, I am the Minister of Personnel. I will definitely find a way to keep Han Ye's official position."
"But, I'm afraid there's nothing the Marquis's son can do."
After hearing this, Xu Xuan cried even harder.
Even his father couldn't do anything about it? Was their family really going to be kicked out of the mansion?
Wouldn’t they become the laughing stock of the entire Shangjing?
So what if he was a third-rank general? He was nothing in front of the Marquis of Zhenyuan.
Obviously, my husband can directly inherit the title of Marquis Zhenyuan in the future and be directly ranked as a first-rank marquis.
But now there is nothing.
It’s all that bitch Xiao Ying’s fault!
"Dad, is there nothing you can do?"
"My daughter doesn't want to leave the Marquis' Mansion. She doesn't want to become the laughing stock of the entire Shangjing... Wuwuwu..."
"Father, do you think that as long as Xiao Ying is gone, my husband can keep his position as the Crown Prince?"
The last sentence made Liu's eyes light up. Yes, she had plenty of ways to deal with a widow who grew up in the countryside.
Xu Ji frowned and looked a little cold.
"How could you have such a vicious idea? What did Xiao Ying do wrong?"
"It was clearly Han Ye who took her status and enjoyed decades of wealth and glory in the Marquis' Mansion."
"Xiao Ying was forced to grow up in the countryside and suffer for decades."
"Now that I've finally been recognized, I should enjoy a good life. This is what I deserve."
"You actually want to get rid of her for your own benefit? Is this the etiquette and integrity I taught you?"
Xu Ji became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder.
Xu Xuan was so frightened that her face turned pale and tears flowed like beads from a broken string.
But Liu couldn't stand it and retorted unhappily.
"My daughter hasn't been home for a long time. Now she's back to ask you to find a solution, but you yell at her like this."
"Instead of doing good for your daughter, you're speaking up for Xiao Ying. Do you really want to see your daughter become a laughing stock?"
"Huh, is there any father like you?"
"I think Xuanxuan is right. We should find a way to get rid of Xiao Ying."
"If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!"
