Chapter 118 Confirmation

As evening approached, the rain suddenly stopped.

Jiang Shu made the last move and said, "Your Majesty wins."

At last, Jiang Shu turned her head and looked outside the house, and said with a long sigh, "The rain has stopped, I should go back."

Jiang Shu stood up and said goodbye. Yu Zheng sent her to the gate of the mansion. After watching her get on the carriage and leave, he stood there for a long time without moving.

"Master?" Zhuiyun called out tentatively.

Yu Zheng came back to his

senses and turned to go into the mansion. It was cloudy and dark in the house before evening.

Yu Zheng asked Zhuiyun to present all the accumulated official business and handle it by candlelight.

"Tell Zhufeng and Lord Zhou to speed up their work and get everything done before the rain stops, and return to the capital as soon as the weather clears up."

"Also, regarding the 'Ci'an Temple', arrange for construction to start as soon as possible."

"Yes." Zhuiyun agreed and turned away.

As Yu Zheng expected, the rain continued for another two or three days before it completely stopped.

Although it was raining, Yu Zheng was not idle at all, and was even busier than usual.

After the rain stopped this afternoon, Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu took people to the prison.

The group stayed there for a full hour.

After coming out of the prison, Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu returned to the prefectural governor's mansion to discuss escorting Zhao Renxian and the stolen money back to the capital tomorrow.

"This time back to the capital, the road will definitely not be peaceful. Be extra careful." Zhou Boxu warned in a deep voice.

The case of Zhao Renxian has far-reaching implications. On the way to Shangjing, the people behind the scenes will certainly make some moves.

Yu Zheng nodded: "Although the plan is flawless, man's plans are not as good as God's plans. You have to be careful."

"Yeah." Zhou Boxu took a sip of tea and looked at Yu Zheng with complicated eyes: "You are so anxious to set off back to Shangjing, is it to be with Miss Jiang?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Yu Zheng didn't intend to hide it, so he nodded.

Zhou Boxu sighed and said worriedly: "Miss Jiang is of humble origin and divorced. She is far from the royal family's standard for selecting concubines. If you want to marry her, it will be very difficult."

Zhou Boxu said this tactfully.

Yu Zheng is not an ordinary prince. He is deeply favored by the emperor and has a high reputation in the court. It is very likely that he will ascend to the supreme position in the future.

Therefore, his wife must be carefully selected to satisfy everyone.

And Jiang Shu, she is not suitable.

Yu Zheng understood what Zhou Boxu was thinking, and sneered: "With my status, how many things are easy?"

"Man can conquer nature. There is nothing that cannot be done, only people who cannot do it."

Zhou Boxu was stunned when he heard it, and then laughed: "What a young and frivolous boy, more courageous than me."

It would be great if he could be as firm and decisive as Yu Zheng back then.

Seeing Zhou Boxu's face showing regret and pain, Yu Zheng knew what he was thinking, and said carefully: "You and my sister, it is not impossible."

Zhou Boxu shook his head in grief: "Old Madam Zhuang will not agree, and my parents will not agree either."

"Man can do it." Yu Zheng said firmly.

Zhou Boxu took a deep breath and suppressed the bitterness in his throat: "Let it be, your sister has suffered a lot, I don't want her to get hurt again."

Although it is a private matter, because of Yu Lan's identity as the eldest princess and the special situation of the Zhuang family. If it is not handled properly, Yu Lan will be criticized by the people.

Women value their reputation, not to mention that Yu Lan is the eldest princess.

After looking at Zhou Boxu with dark eyes, Yu Zheng said no more.

Zhou Boxu is good in everything, but he is too indecisive when facing family affection. He thought that escaping would make the people he cared about feel better, but he didn't know that by doing so, he would only expand and deepen the harm.

His sister has not had an easy time these years.

Zhou Boxu's so-called lifelong unmarried and silent protection is a heavy yoke for his sister. She couldn't help hating him, blaming him, or asking for anything.

Yu Zheng wanted to help, but Zhou Boxu had no intention, so everything was in vain.

After all, his elder sister was the eldest princess, and had been abandoned by Zhou Boxu once. It would be bad to lower her status and face to force him again.

Even if she was struggling in pain, she could only hide it in her heart.

"It's getting late. You should have dinner and rest early. I won't see you off tomorrow." Zhou Boxu stood up and said goodbye.

"Well." Yu Zheng responded lightly and watched Zhou Boxu leave.

Looking at the darkening sky outside, Yu Zheng walked to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, asking Zhuiyun to send it to Jiang Shu.

He is not Zhou Boxu. Once he has determined something, he will do his best to fight for it.

Compared with the difficulty of fighting for it, it is even more difficult to marry someone you don't like and live a life of dislike with each other.

Neither is easy, why not choose what you want?

Even if the final result is not what you want, at least you will not regret it.

After several days of continuous rain, the sky finally cleared up.

Jiang Shu stood in front of the window and looked at the light clouds in the sky, while Tan Yu was busy packing things.

"Finally, I'm going back to Shangjing." Tan Yu was in a very good mood.

When I went out, I was attracted by the scenery along the way. I felt that the outside world was novel and interesting, and I was in a happy mood all the way.

But when the novelty wore off, I felt that the outside world was just so-so, and I began to miss the familiar Shangjing.

"Knock knock!" Someone knocked on the door outside.

"Who is it?" Tan Yu asked in a hoarse voice.

"Zhuiyun." A familiar voice came from outside the house.

Upon hearing the words, Tan Yu hurriedly put down the things in his hands and ran to open the door.

Jiang Shu also walked over after hearing the sound.

Tan Yu opened the door and saw Zhuiyun with bright eyes. She then looked behind Zhuiyun.

"Are you alone?"

Zhuiyun nodded, "My master asked me to deliver a letter."

Zhuiyun saw Jiang Shu coming and handed the letter to her.

"Thank you." Jiang Shu took it and walked back to the table to sit down and read the letter.

After Tan Yu saw Zhuiyun off, she closed the door and walked over to Jiang Shu.

"Master, what did the prince say in the letter? Will we go back to the capital together tomorrow?"

For the past two or three days, the master and servant have been staying in the inn, waiting and waiting, but Yu Zheng has not sent any news.

Seeing that the rain has stopped and the sky has cleared up, they have packed their things and will set off for the capital tomorrow. Yu Zheng finally sent a letter.

Jiang Shu took out the letter and unfolded it, reading it with excitement.

Tan Yu waited quietly, with anxiety written on her face.

After reading the letter, Jiang Shu looked up at her and said with a smile, "Why are you so anxious?"

Tan Yu snorted, "I'm not in a hurry, I've been absent-minded these past two days. Especially after the rain stopped today, I kept staring out the window, and the sky is about to be stared out of a hole."

Jiang Shu's face turned red, and he said angrily, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will marry you off."

"No, no, no." Tan Yu begged for mercy.

She didn't want to get married, she just wanted to follow Jiang Shu for the rest of her life.

"Good boss, I was wrong, just tell me." Tan Yu's curiosity got

the better of her, and she scratched her ears and cheeks anxiously. Jiang Shu put the letter away and coughed lightly, "The prince asked us to meet outside the city tomorrow."

The prefectural governor's mansion and the guesthouse are not in the same direction. If they go to the prefectural governor's mansion first and then leave the city, they will have to go around a long way.

Yu Zheng and his team were escorting prisoners, and it was not suitable for them to stay in the inn because of their large team.

They could only gather outside the city. "Then let's go to bed early after dinner and get up at dawn tomorrow." After getting the confirmation, Tan Yu felt relieved.

"Yes." Jiang Shu responded.

Thinking that she would see Yu Zheng tomorrow, she was a little excited and a little nervous. She

was thinking about something and couldn't sleep well at night.

That night, Jiang Shu couldn't sleep.
