Zhu Yuan stared intently at the canvas bag embroidered with Donald Duck, showing little interest in the liquor inside.
But she still gladly accepted her token.
"Okay, that's all. You can leave now."
Seeing this, all three of them relaxed. It must have been stressful to be around someone like Zhu Yuan!
Zhen Wanwan waved goodbye to Zhu Yuan: "Strategist, we'll meet again someday!"
"Second Brother, Big Brother Qu, let's hurry up and go!"
If we don't leave now, what if one of the Liang family members slips through the net and gets caught up with them?
"good!"
Seeing the three of them get back into the carriage, Zhu Yuan rode his horse to the side of the road.
His gaze, however, remained fixed on the carriage that Zhen Wanwan had entered.
He was conflicted!
He wavered between honesty and escapism.
Although he wasn't at fault in what happened, women always suffer more than men.
Moreover, she already has a child, so she wouldn't easily accept him if he took the initiative to pursue her.
Furthermore, the current situation in the court is precarious, and if their relationship were to be revealed, it would likely be very bad for her.
For both personal and emotional reasons, he chose to keep the person hidden.
As for whose child it is, that needs to be investigated privately.
If it truly belongs to him, and Zhen Wanwan is willing, he will marry her; if she is not willing, he can raise the child with her.
Anyway, he's all alone, so he can go wherever he wants.
Watching the carriage carrying Zhen Wanwan and the others gradually disappear into the distance.
Zhu Yuan then leisurely rode his horse back to reunite with his subordinates.
Back in the carriage, Zhen Wanwan secretly rejoiced, thankfully it wasn't something that cost her money or her life.
She suddenly recalled that dream that seemed to be a memory.
For a moment, I didn't know how to face Zhu Yuan calmly.
They now have a relationship despite having no emotional foundation, and even have a pair of children together.
Moreover, the other party didn't seem to recognize her at all.
Sigh! It's so difficult!
Oh, right! That jade pendant might be able to identify someone, but I sold it to Tmall Genie a long time ago.
It's hard to imagine what price you'd have to pay to get gold coins out of its mouth.
Forget it, she still prefers a simple life, and being honest with her won't do her any good!
Isn't it better for her to raise her two children herself?
Zhen Wanwan thought about it and then picked up Tianbao and kissed her.
"I really want to take a bite."
Sweetie's face is rounder, and there is also thick flesh on both sides of her chin.
Because her skin was so fair and delicate, she looked even more adorable.
She'll definitely be a great beauty when she grows up!
Zhen Wanwan thought about her ordinary facial features; apart from being a little fair-skinned and having a lot of acne scars, she wasn't particularly attractive.
Now that she's constantly on the go, her exposed skin is already tanned, and she's lost her only redeeming quality.
She'll take good care of herself once she's settled in.
For the rest of the journey, the group didn't stop except for eating, drinking, and relieving themselves.
All of this was to get to Songjiang Prefecture as quickly as possible.
Finally, it arrived just before sunset on the third day!
As expected of a coastal city, it boasts a long, winding river that seems to stretch endlessly.
As night falls, many boats still sail on the river.
Lanterns of all sizes illuminated the city walls of Songjiang Prefecture.
Unfortunately, the dock was closed when they arrived.
We can only wait until tomorrow to find a boat to Anqing Prefecture.
Zhen Fugui walked in front of Grandpa Zhen and Grandma Li and said.
"Father, Mother, let's stay in the city tonight and inquire about ships going to Anqing Prefecture tomorrow."
Grandpa Zhen nodded gently: "Then let's find an inn to rest properly."
Grandma Li smiled and said, "No rush! Your sister-in-law and I are going to buy some cotton fabric tomorrow to make a few thick quilts in advance."
Zhen Wanwan added from the side, "Mother, please make some new clothes for everyone! We'll be waiting until winter."
The weather here is a bit strange. If you wear light clothes today, you'll need to wear two or three layers tomorrow!
Even Zhen Fugui, who has the best physical condition, had a stuffy nose.
With money in her pocket, Old Lady Li felt very confident.
Seeing that his daughter wanted to wear new clothes, he happily agreed.
From the moment Wu Sheng landed at the city gate of Songjiang Prefecture, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Seeing that Zhen's family wanted to go to town to stay at an inn, they warmly invited them to stay in their own house.
"Don't bother crowding into any inns! I happen to have a house here, it's very spacious!"
"You're all coming back with me tonight."
The rest of the people looked hesitant; they weren't familiar with Boss Wu, and there were many of them.
It's very impolite to just go and stay at someone else's house like that.
Seeing their hesitation, Wu Sheng offered some advice.
“Songjiang Prefecture is not like Leling Prefecture. It is located by the sea, and there are many merchants here. At this time, the inns are probably already full.”
"Madam Zhen, you should come back with me to live here!"
Zhen Wanwan felt it didn't matter where she stayed, but she didn't want to take advantage of Boss Wu.
Facing Grandpa Zhen and Grandma Li, he said, "Father and Mother, why don't we give Boss Wu some money for lodging? We're too lazy to bother looking for an inn."
Both of them thought Zhen Wanwan's idea was good, so they both nodded in agreement.
I asked a few other companies, and they all nodded in agreement.
Despite everyone's persuasion, Wu Sheng accepted their accommodation fee.
And so everyone followed Mr. Wu to his house.
The house wasn't very big; it had a two-courtyard layout, with the front section used for receiving guests and the servants' quarters.
The area behind is divided into two sides. The left side has guest rooms, and the main residence is just around a wall.
The decorations are exquisite and intricate, revealing the homeowner's aesthetic taste.
Zhen Wanwan felt that the style of this house was very suitable for the glittering Mr. Wu.
When will I be able to buy a house like this?
Looking at the antique courtyard house, Zhen Wanwan's desire to buy a house reached its peak.
In her past life, housing prices were so high that she probably couldn't afford it, but in this life, she refuses to believe she can't get it!
When Zhen Wanwan thought about buying a house, she realized her wallet wasn't enough.
With so many supplies in her storage space, should we go buy some tomorrow?
Didn't Boss Wu say that there are many merchants doing business in Songjiang Prefecture?
She has tons of new stuff in her space.
Having made up her mind to make some money, Zhen Wanwan fell into a deep sleep with her child in her arms after dinner.
I need to rest and recover first so I'll have the energy to go shopping tomorrow.
The same is true for others.
The next day, Zhen Fugui and Zhou Dashan went out early in the morning to inquire about the news.
As for Zhen Wanwan and the others, they ate breakfast leisurely and changed into clean and presentable clothes.
With many children in the family, Grandma Li would send them off to play with other children.
After instructing Aunt Zhou and Dongzi's mother to take care of them, he took Zhen Wanwan and Wang Cuihua and went out.
They discovered that the streets of Songjiang Prefecture were now filled with all sorts of novelties.
From one end of the street to the other, vendors hawked their wares incessantly, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
"I never expected this small coastal town to be so prosperous, it's so much better than our Xinyang Prefecture."
Wang Cuihua looked around with a gleam in her eyes, like a country bumpkin seeing the world for the first time.
"Huh, what's that?"
