Ling Mo handed the umbrella in his hand to Jiang Huaiyu, and then took another umbrella from Deng Shen, carefully holding it up.
"It's raining, let's go back first."
The drizzle in Jiangnan is gentle and delicate. It starts silently but then continues for a long time. However, this rain does not make people feel annoyed. On the contrary, it makes people feel a rare tranquility while watching the rain and breathing the moist air.
They walked back to the inn, where Jiang Huaiyu and Ling Mo sat facing each other in the elegant tea room on the second floor.
"Young Master Ling?"
Ling Mo turned his gaze away from the rain outside the window and sighed, "Something has happened in the capital..."
"The capital? Is it that Jade Capital?"
Jiang Huaiyu's expression changed drastically, and she immediately stood up.
Ling Mo said slowly, "You are pregnant, so don't be too anxious. Although there has been some turmoil in Baiyujing, it poses no immediate threat to your life."
Hearing this, Jiang Huaiyu's heartstrings relaxed slightly, and she hurriedly asked, "Young Master Ling, what exactly happened?"
Ling Mo gently raised his arm to pour her a cup of warm tea and slowly said, "When I set off from the capital, I was worried that Princess Linchuan would not let the matter rest, so I sent people to closely monitor the movements of the princess's residence and keep an eye on Bai Yujing's situation. These days, everything seems calm, until today, when I received a letter from the capital that mentioned that Bai Yujing has been demoted."
"Is it merely a demotion?"
Ling Mo sighed softly and continued to explain, "It was indeed just a demotion, but Bai Yujing's experience was quite unusual. He was demoted from the position of Director of Studies at the Imperial Academy to the Western Army, where he served as a clerk without any rank."
