Chapter 498 Final Chapter

As soon as June came, the weather became hotter day by day.

Sun Yijun was bored in the mansion, so she wrote a letter to invite Jiang Shu to the princess's mansion to have a small gathering with Yu Lan.

Jiang's business was stable, so Jiang Shu didn't have to inspect every day. When he was about to take Yu Ziyou to the princess's mansion as agreed, the servant came to report.

"Princess, the second son Shen and his wife from the Jing'an Marquis's mansion want to see you."

Shen Changhuai and Wang Yueyao, what are they doing here?

Yu Zheng was not in the mansion, so Jiang Shu went to the front hall to meet them alone with doubts.

"Changhuai, Yueyao." Jiang Shu was very happy to meet old friends.

"I have met the princess." Shen Changhuai and Wang Yueyao greeted respectfully.

Jiang Shu helped them up, walked to the top and sat down, and asked them why they came to see her.

Shen Changhuai said, "I'm here to pay the princess on behalf of my brother."

After he finished speaking, Shen Changhuai shouted outside the hall, and several servants from the Marquis' Mansion came in carrying five wooden boxes, put them down, bowed and left.

Shen Changhuai stood up, opened the wooden box and said, "This is the money the Marquis' Mansion owes the princess. Please check and count it."

Jiang Shu looked at the boxes of silver and said with a choked voice, "It's been so long, I've forgotten about it. I was just angry with the Marquis' Mansion at the time, don't take it seriously."

After experiencing the war, Jiang Shu became more open-minded and let go of everything in the past.

Shen Changhuai said solemnly: "It is natural to pay back debts, and we should not take it lightly."

Wang Yueyao also said: "Princess, please accept it. The emperor's reward is quite generous, and the Marquis's Mansion is not short of money now."

Seeing Shen Changhuai's serious face, Jiang Shu couldn't say anything else and had to accept it.

"Chu Yu." Jiang Shu called Chu Yu and whispered a few words to her.

Chu Yu handed Yu Ziyou to Jiang Shu and left quickly.

Wang Yueyao looked at Yu Ziyou in Jiang Shu's arms, smiled and praised: "The little prince is really smart and cute."

"Don't mention it, he is so naughty." Jiang Shu looked helpless and doting.

Yu Ziyou is energetic. Since he learned to crawl, he can't sit still. If you are not careful, he will crawl all over the house. Recently, he has become even more amazing, and can even stagger with the help of something.

Wang Yueyao said, "That's right. After learning to walk, he will be even more amazing. He will slink around everywhere without blinking an eye. If he is not careful, he will bump into something or get into trouble."

Jiang Shu chuckled and said, "From your tone, it seems that you have been trained by Youlin."

Shen Youlin, who is two or three years old, is at the age

of exploring the world independently. Wang Yueyao must have had a lot of headaches on weekdays. "Yes." Wang Yueyao sighed sweetly, took out a palm-sized gold box from her sleeve, walked towards Jiang Shu and said, "This is our meeting gift for the young master. Please don't dislike it, Princess."

Wang Yueyao opened the gold box, and inside lay a delicate and beautiful jade ball.

She knew that Yu Ziyou had everything, so she didn't give him jade pendants or bracelets, but only a small toy that children like.

As expected, Yu Ziyou liked it as soon as he saw it, and happily took it in his hands to play with it.

"You are thoughtful." Jiang Shu was very moved.

Wang Yueyao and Shen Changhuai must have spent a lot of thought on this gift.

Wang Yueyao smiled embarrassedly: "Compared to what the princess gave us, it's really not presentable."

"The gift is not about how expensive it is, but about the thought." Jiang Shu patted her hand.

Wang Yueyao nodded, sat back and talked to Jiang Shu. Speaking of it, all the people in the Marquis' Mansion are old friends.

After asking Shen Youlin and Aunt Liu, Jiang Shu casually asked Xu Lingyi.

Wang Yueyao pursed her lips and said, "From what my eldest brother said, he doesn't plan to marry again. Now he only has her as his concubine, and no one is controlling or bullying him. He lives a good life."

Jiang Shu nodded, "She got what she wanted."

As they were talking, Chu Yu came back.

"Princess." Chu Yu presented the things she had taken to Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu took a look and asked her to give them to Shen Changhuai.

In a small wooden box, there was an IOU written by Shen Changze with his seal.

"Take it back and give it to Lord Shen. From now on, he and I will not owe each other anything." Jiang Shu's face was calm and peaceful.

Shen Changze did not come in person today because he did not want to meet her. I guess they would not see each other again in the future.

"Okay." Shen Changhuai accepted and put it away, then stood up and said goodbye.

Wang Yueyao was a little reluctant to leave, and looked back at Jiang Shu.

Although she and Jiang Shu got along well and had no grudges against each other, their surnames were Shen and they were from the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, so they were destined not to have a close relationship with Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu understood all of this, and stood up to see them off, saying, "We'll see each other again."

Since they were both in the capital, even if they had no personal relationship, they would meet at banquets in various mansions.

Wang Yueyao smiled when she heard this and asked Jiang Shu to stop.

After the two left, Jiang Shu disposed of several boxes of silver, followed him out of the mansion, and went to the princess's mansion not far away.

Sun Yijun arrived early, and when she saw Jiang Shu, who was late, she was surprised and said, "Why did Sister Wang come so late?"

Jiang Shu told them the reason.

Sun Yijun chewed a peach and said, "Tsk, he still remembers to pay back the money. It seems that he still has some shame."

Yu Lan said, "Although Marquis Jing'an has made great contributions this time, he also lost his arm, and Madam Shen also died on the battlefield. It can be said that the whole family is loyal and heroic." "

Yeah." Jiang Shu thought Yu Lan was right, and said in a serious tone, "Since there is no connection, there is no need to talk about it." Whether it was

honor or a joke, the affairs of Marquis Jing'an's mansion had nothing to do with them.

The three of them changed the topic and talked about other things.

As they talked, the topic naturally turned to children.

"It's still good for the imperial sister. She gave birth to two children at once and she doesn't have to worry anymore." Sun Yijun looked envious.

"Ziyou is also very well behaved, and it's easy to take care of him. Unlike my Huiyin, who is simply a reincarnation of a crybaby, crying all day and night, and it makes my head explode."

Thinking of Yu Huiyin, who cries at the slightest provocation and can't be comforted no matter what, Sun Yijun's face is despair.

Although Princess Rong and the wet nurse and maids help to take care of her, Sun Yijun still feels a headache.

In order to avoid being alone, Sun Yijun did not bring her to the princess's mansion.

Seeing her face full of bitterness and hatred, Jiang Shu and Yu Lan laughed.

Sun Yijun said in annoyance: "You are still laughing."

Yu Lan suppressed her laughter and said: "Oh, I don't know who said that, she has always been the one who makes others angry, and the one who can make her angry has not been born yet, and now, he is born."

Sun Yijun was choked and could not speak, and could only stare at Yu Lan.

Jiang Shu smiled and comforted: "It will be fine when Huiyin is older. You also said that you wanted to be angry with Yuyuan with her."

After hearing this, Sun Yijun's depression dissipated a little, and she said with expectation: "I hope she grows up quickly."

"Time flies, you see Ziyou is learning to walk." Jiang Shu supported Yu Ziyou who was moving.

Yu Ziyou held the ball in one hand and Jiang Shu in the other, playing around her.

Yu Lan turned his head and looked outside and said, "The sun is about to set, and it's time for them to come back."

Zhou Boxu and Yu Zheng were handling government affairs outside, and Yu Yuan was taking care of Cuiyun Tower. As they had been informed in advance, they would come to have dinner with them after they were done.

"Mother." As the three were talking, Zhuang Yin's voice was heard outside.

Yu Lan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhou Boxu and Zhuang Yin stepping into the house together.

Zhuang Yin had grown a little taller and looked a bit like an adult.

"Where are my brother and sister?" Zhuang Yin asked as soon as he entered the house.

Yu Lan said softly, "He's sleeping."

"Wow, wow..." Yu Lan had just finished speaking when a cry came from the next room.

Zhou Boxu and Zhuang Yin turned around at the same time and walked over quickly.

A little later, the father and son came back carrying Zhou Shiyu and Zhou Shiran.

"Ah..." Yu Ziyu couldn't wait any longer and clamored to go out to play.

Yu Lan stood up and said, "It's getting cooler now, let's go for a walk in the back garden." Yu Lan

took Zhou Shiran from Zhuang Yin's hands and they walked towards the back garden.

Yu Ziyu was very big, and Jiang Shu couldn't stand it after carrying him for a while. Just as he was thinking about going to the pavilion to rest for a while, he turned around and saw Yu Zheng and Yu Yuan coming against the light.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell behind them, making their figures look particularly tall.
