Two days later, Zhen Wanwan, along with the twins and Yuan Huizhou and Xiao Yizhi, officially embarked on their journey to the prefectural city under the protection of soldiers specially arranged by Lord Chen.
This time, Zhen Wanwan didn't tell Zhu Yuan in advance, wanting to give him a surprise.
However, this surprise had already been told to Zhu Yuan by the secret guards he had left behind to protect them.
Helpless, Zhuyuan had no choice but to order Lord Chen to send someone to escort them over.
This time is different from the past; the number of refugees is much greater than last time, and they are not only elderly people.
This time, many able-bodied men who were ill came with their families.
As they passed through the city gate, Zhen Wanwan could clearly smell a herbal scent.
On the other side, there was little smell, and the refugees looked much healthier.
It seems that the refugees here have been officially quarantined under the management of Zhuyuan.
Zhu Yuan stood under the city gate, clenching his fists, watching eagerly as Zhen Wanwan and the others' carriage approached.
After ten days apart, the longing in his heart could no longer be concealed.
But with so many people and eyes at the city gate, he had no choice but to hide himself and watch Zhen Wanwan and the others enter the city.
He then handed over his chores to Yin Duwei, who was standing beside him.
Yin Duwei was a little stunned and didn't react for a moment.
He never expected that Zhu Yuan, who always liked to do things personally, would become a hands-off manager at such an important moment.
Fortunately, he was perceptive and realized that his master's wife had arrived.
Therefore, he had no choice but to take on the task without complaint and skillfully handle various problems.
When Zhen Wanwan came to the prefectural city this time, she did not stay at the house that Zhu Yuan had left in the suburbs.
Instead, they followed the address he wrote in his letter to find their way. Fortunately, Zhu Yuan arranged for people to guide them along the way, both openly and secretly.
We arrived in less than fifteen minutes.
The gatekeeper pretended not to recognize her and stepped forward respectfully to ask, "May I ask who Madam is looking for?"
Granny Zhang held her head high and straightened her back; the first impression was very important.
In particular, some servants love to treat people differently based on their status, and Granny Zhang was determined to save face for Zhen Wanwan.
"My wife is the strategist's new wife, why don't you hurry up and welcome her into the house?"
The servant had been given instructions, and at this moment he looked flustered, thinking he had gotten himself into a huge mess.
He bowed his head in a very polite manner and admitted his mistake, saying, "Madam, please forgive me! It was my fault for being blind. I will open the door for you right away."
If someone is playing the bad cop, then Zhen Wanwan has to play the good cop. She gestured for Rou'er to step forward and give the servant a red envelope.
The servant panicked, unsure whether he should accept the money.
The steward had told him that the master was the most powerful person in the household, but if the madam were present, she would be the most powerful.
In the past, adults were strict, and the children were afraid of them, so none of them dared to get close enough to serve them.
Since joining the manor, no one has ever received a reward from Zhuyuan.
Now that they have a mistress, and they're making a living under her, their lives should be a little easier, right?
The servant thought that since the lady was in charge, he should be fine accepting the reward.
He carefully took it and bowed repeatedly to Zhen Wanwan.
"Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Madam."
After the servant finished expressing his gratitude, he was about to step past Rou'er to open the gate to the courtyard so that the lady could enter.
He caught a glimpse of Rou'er's stunning beauty and was instantly captivated.
He wondered if this was the lady's sister or niece.
However, they were well-taught not to ask questions they shouldn't.
Granny Zhang retreated outside the carriage and carefully helped Zhen Wanwan get off.
Then he took the child from Xiaomei's arms and returned to the mansion with Zhen Wanwan.
After getting off the bus, Zhen Wanwan looked around and found that although it was a bustling area, there was not much noise.
Moreover, apart from them, there were hardly any other people walking on the main road.
Zhen Wanwan thought it was strange, but she didn't intend to press the matter further.
She carried the child and followed the servant through the door, walking all the way to the master bedroom where Zhu Yuan lived.
This was Zhen Wanwan's first time visiting a bedroom unique to the Zhuyuan style.
Just like his personality, the bedroom was simply furnished, but the decorations were all exquisite.
The single color makes it appear too cold and aloof.
After thinking for a moment, Zhen Wanwan took out some pillows and dolls from her spatial storage.
Place brightly colored decorations in various parts of the bedroom.
Granny Zhang then led Xiao Mei Rou'er to unpack the luggage she had brought.
There was a sound of an old woman reporting outside. Zhang Mama went out first and came back a short while later with a cup of hot tea.
“The old woman who works in the kitchen just brought you tea.”
Zhen Wanwan gave a faint "hmm" and didn't think much of it.
Anyway, Granny Zhang had already prepared a draft in her mind, so she leaned close to Zhen Wanwan and explained in a low voice.
“I have looked around. In this courtyard, apart from the servants, the only women are the kitchen maids and other women who work.”
Hearing this, Zhen Wanwan smiled helplessly: "Granny, you're too observant. I didn't even notice!"
Zhang Mama's lips curled into a wide smile; she was extremely satisfied with her son-in-law, Zhuyuan.
In the past, judging from Zhu Yuan's appearance and status, she only thought that he must have many women by his side.
Her previous master had taken seven or eight concubines.
She worried about Zhen Wanwan from time to time, fearing that in the blink of an eye, this handsome son-in-law would be seduced by another woman.
Fortunately, the son-in-law did not let his wife down.
This courtyard doesn't have so many messy personal maids, so my wife will definitely have fewer troubles staying here in the future.
After Zhen Wanwan and the others finished tidying up the house, Zhu Yuan returned right on time.
As Zhen Wanwan expected, Zhu Yuan was indeed very happy.
Seeing her like this, he happily hugged her and spun her around several times.
This caused the servants and maids nearby to chuckle.
Zhen Wanwan blushed deeply and gently patted him as he fell to the ground.
"Husband! It's not time to get off work yet, why are you back?"
Zhu Yuan raised an eyebrow. In fact, he had returned long ago, but he deliberately chose this time to enter the door in order to make Zhen Wanwan happy.
"I heard from the servants that you had arrived, so I expedited the handling of official business."
The two entered the main house hand in hand, and Zhu Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw the brand-new scene before him.
"My wife has such skillful hands! I am very pleased."
The couple hadn't seen each other for ten days, a time when they were deeply in love.
The two adorable, chubby little children were automatically ignored by their parents, who were obsessed with being in love.
The chubby little baby covered her eyes with her hands, unable to look directly at the loving scene between her parents.
In reality, they were being tortured to the core, secretly hoping that Granny Zhang would take them out quickly.
After a short while, Zhu Yuan and Zhen Wanwan were each coaxing a child, chatting idly.
"By the way, my husband! How are those refugees? Have they found out what caused their illness?"
Zhu Yuan's expression relaxed somewhat.
"The illnesses of these refugees are the same as those of the people last time..."
