Zhao Ningsong, who was blocked at the door, thought about Li Xiang's words and turned to look at his mother. "Mom, did Wang tell you anything?"
"She never told me anything. That bitch must have run away on her own." Old Mrs. Cao beat her chest and stamped her feet, extremely angry.
Then, she thought of something and immediately looked at Zhao Ningsong, "Where's the money? Did you put it all on her?"
Zhao Ningsong looked at his mother's fierce gaze and felt so guilty that he didn't dare to look her in the eye. He stammered for a long time but couldn't explain clearly.
"You are so confused!" Seeing her son like this, there was nothing she couldn't understand. Wang must have run away with the money.
"Then, what should we do now?" Zhao Ningsong said with a confused look on his face.
Looking at her son who had no opinion of his own, Mrs. Cao felt exhausted. What was going on?
In the past, when they were in the Duke's Mansion, they relied on this reputation and the background of the mansion to achieve twice the result with half the effort, and Zhao Ningsong's incompetence was not revealed.
But now that he no longer had the protection of the Duke's Mansion, Zhao Ningsong seemed to have lost his filter, his ugly side was exposed, and even his mother, Mrs. Cao, began to dislike her son Zhao Ningsong's stupidity.
In desperation, she could only ask her personal nanny to rent a house from the pawnshop to settle down first.
While waiting for the nanny, they had nowhere to go and could only huddle miserably in this alley.
Fortunately, the Duke's Mansion covers a large area and there are not many houses around. It is better for them to stay here than to wander around the streets.
But when snowflakes began to fall from the sky, they realized that no one had brought an umbrella.
Seeing that the snow was getting heavier, Old Lady Cao asked her concubines to take out their cloaks and have the servants hold them up to cover her and Zhao Ningsong.
The concubines appeared respectful on the surface, but who knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
Old Mrs. Cao, who was sitting in the front row, was talking to Zhao Ningsong, and she didn't notice at all that the concubines behind her were looking at her bags from time to time.
On a carriage speeding towards the city gate, Zhao Qianhua asked Wang Shi with difficulty, "Wolf, Ooh, go get it, it's a little dry, don't go up, wait?"
Wang held Zhao Qianhua's swollen face in her hands with a distressed look, and after a bit of guessing, she roughly understood what she meant, "Your father is not only heartless and ungrateful, but also a fool. Now that he's been driven out by that wolf cub Zhao Yiming, the days ahead will definitely be very difficult.
If we continue to follow him, not only will we have a rough life, but we will also have to be on guard against him selling us off at a low price when he can no longer make ends meet."
Zhao Qianhua knew what kind of person her father was.
Could the two of them really survive? More importantly, she didn't want to leave the capital.
It is said that no one knows a daughter better than her mother. Wang Shi looked at her daughter's anxious expression and could probably guess what she was thinking. "Don't worry, I have some money on me. Let's find a town close to the capital to stay for a while. When the situation stabilizes, we can find a way to come back."
When Zhao Qianhua heard Wang say that she had silver on her, she felt relieved. With a burning face, she leaned on Wang's legs and fell asleep.
After seeing off Zhao Ningsong's family, Tian An and Zhao Yiming had a reunion dinner with Zhao Ningyan's family before returning home.
Before leaving, he specifically told them to quickly choose a yard they liked and move in before the New Year.
Seeing that Tian An really wanted them to choose a courtyard, Zhao Ningyan's family thanked him again, and then happily took their four children to visit various courtyards. In the end, they selected five courtyards that were warm in winter and cool in summer.
After asking his servants to report to He Tianan, he hurriedly decorated the yard according to his own preferences.
After Tian Ande got it, he immediately picked out a lot of good things from the warehouse and sent them to their family.
After returning from the warehouse, Tian An suddenly felt idle. With nothing to do, she insisted on accompanying Zhao Yiming in the study to handle official business.
As a result, after a while, her head began to nod, and finally she fell asleep directly on Zhao Yiming's shoulder.
Feeling the weight on his arm, Zhao Yiming understood what was going on. He skillfully and carefully picked her up and carried her back to the room before returning to deal with the remaining official business.
After finishing quickly, he went back to stay by Tian An's side, doing nothing, just watching her quietly.
When Tian An woke up, he even kept the same posture.
However, after yawning gracefully with his mouth open, Tian An's first words were, "Is it time to eat? I'm hungry."
Zhao Yiming: "..."
"Have you noticed that you've been particularly hungry lately?" Zhao Yiming said with a serious expression.
He was either reluctant to let Tian An eat it or worried that something might happen to her body.
Seeing his worried look, Tian An also took it seriously, "Is it particularly obvious?"
Zhao Yiming nodded. "You're always complaining about being hungry, and you eat a lot at every meal."
Tian An frowned, thinking back to these days, it seemed that she had become particularly hungry since she went to Yaowang Valley.
Could it be that she really had some kind of illness? Could it be that Xiao Qingheng had poisoned her without her knowing?
However, Tian An immediately denied this hypothesis. Even if Xiao Qingheng really poisoned her and could hide it from her, he could not hide it from the detection system in the space!
So, under Zhao Yiming's gaze, she felt her pulse with a serious expression.
After a while, she was sure that she was not poisoned.
However, her expression soon became subtle.
Seeing that she was still silent, Zhao Yiming thought that something was wrong with her body and asked quickly, "How is it? What caused it?"
"Well, there is a reason, but it's not a big deal. Wait for me to confirm it."
As she spoke, she took her pulse again. This was the first time in her life that she doubted herself.
After a while, seeing her put her hand down, Zhao Yiming asked anxiously: "How is it? Are you sure?"
Tian An nodded and said, "Yes! It's confirmed, that is..."
However, before she finished her words, Jing Yu's voice came from outside the house, "Master, the emperor is calling urgently."
"Then you go first! There's nothing wrong with my body, I just need nutrition. We'll discuss other matters in detail when you come back."
Tian An hadn't figured out how to tell Zhao Yiming yet, so she could only let him go about his business first and wait for her to digest it.
Zhao Yiming nodded. As long as Tian An didn't have any health problems, everything else would be easy to deal with.
"Then you can eat alone first. If you feel lonely, you can ask Qinhua and Ranhua from your third uncle's family to accompany you." Zhao Yiming stood up and did not forget to give instructions before leaving.
"Okay, I got it. I'll take care of myself. Go ahead! Business is more important."
Zhao Yiming nodded, walked to the door, looked back at Tian An reluctantly, and then went out.
