"Shut up!"
When Mu Yurou heard the little girl start to make fun of the Empress, she was startled and quickly scolded her.
"I...Miss, I feel that Madam Han is not an outsider either!"
"Miss Mu, it's alright."
Han Luoxue smiled indifferently. She had known about Mu Yurou's matter for a long time, but she had never taken it to heart.
She didn't feel that she had done anything wrong. Donating to the national treasury was all voluntary. How could she be blamed for being less skilled than others?
"Actually, I don't want Mrs. Han to laugh at me."
Mu Yurou sighed, and the maid beside her spoke up in dissatisfaction:
"It is the current Empress who is too despicable."
"How dare you speak like that, girl? How has Her Majesty the Empress been despicable?"
The nightingale was displeased; she wouldn't allow anyone to speak ill of their master.
"Isn't that right? She clearly had so much food, but she pretended she had nothing, only donating a little to give everyone hope, and then urging everyone to donate as much as they could, and in the end..."
"alright."
Mu Yurou interrupted the maid and sighed:
"Actually, you can't blame Her Majesty the Empress. She said from the beginning that the donations couldn't be taken back, and that you could donate as much as you wanted."
"It was wishful thinking on my part." Mu Yurou looked dejected. After a long while, she finally raised her head, her eyes slightly red.
"Madam Han, I'm sorry you had to see this. I just don't know how to explain it to Father."
"You know that the status of courtesans has never been high. When Father heard the news, he just wanted me to enter the palace to see if I could change the situation at home in one afternoon."
Han Luoxue understood their thoughts, but she did not sympathize with them.
"clear."
"It's a pity we failed. We spent a lot of money, but we still didn't get elected."
"Miss, it's Her Majesty the Empress..."
Before the girl could say anything more, Mu Yurou angrily said:
"Shut up."
"You guys are really unlucky!"
Han Luoxue looked at them with sympathy after hearing their conversation.
Actually, most women in Beijing have been feeling conflicted and frustrated lately, but what does it have to do with her? The rules were all agreed upon initially; she came out on top herself, so she can't blame anyone else, right?
If she had donated the grain at the beginning, how could the other women have caught up? It was by giving them hope that they would have been willing to donate so much.
"Mrs. Han, I'll be returning home in a few days!"
Having witnessed the prosperity of the capital and the inequalities there, Yang Wanrou still longed to return to Yancheng, where she was a top-tier noblewoman and the object of many young men's affections.
And now...
In the capital, how many people knew of her name, Mu Yurou?
"It's good to go back!"
Han Luoxue did not try to stop her; she and Mu Yurou were not familiar with each other.
Will Madam Han visit Yancheng again?
Mu Yurou was still somewhat reluctant to part.
"I might go!"
The thought that her younger brother and sister-in-law had disappeared there filled Han Luoxue with immense sorrow. She longed to go and search for them herself, but circumstances prevented it at the moment.
Zhou Yuan has mobilized many people to search for the three children, and even local social organizations have been mobilized, but the three children seem to have vanished into thin air. The entire city of Yan has been turned upside down, or rather, searched three or four times, but there is still no news of the three children.
"Then Madam Han must come and see me next time she goes there!"
Mu Yurou smiled gently. She had always been very curious and didn't know what Han Luoxue's true identity was.
I just felt that this woman's identity was not simple. Otherwise, with Han Luoxue's appearance, she wouldn't be afraid of being seen and snatched away if she walked on the street like this.
In fact, Han Luoxue's appearance has been concealed to some extent. When she comes out, she deliberately makes herself look less attractive, but she is naturally beautiful.
"Alright then, I wish Miss Mu a safe journey!"
After having dinner with Mu Yurou, Han Luoxue returned to the General's Mansion.
She had always been curious about Tiger's backing. Several days had passed; the General's Mansion should have made some progress by now.
"How many more days until the old general returns?"
Hearing the old lady's question, Han Luoxue was stunned for a moment. She stood frozen at the door and did not go in.
My aunt's voice came from inside: "They'll be there in a couple of days!"
"Sigh, don't let him go out again this time! He's already so old, and he's still traveling so far. His health isn't very good either!"
"It's fortunate that Xue helped him with his treatment last time, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to hold on!"
Han Luoxue did not go in. He secretly wondered why the old general would suddenly return to the capital. Could it be that something big had happened in the capital?
"Your Majesty, this is just the Emperor's guess. In my opinion, the Emperor is only doing this as a precaution."
My aunt said again.
"Grandmother, Aunt, what were you talking about just now?"
Han Luoxue then went inside, her hands clenched tightly. She had a guess in her mind, but she didn't know if it was true or not.
"Snow Girl, you're here?"
The old lady glared at the maid beside Han Luoxue: "You didn't even announce your mistress's arrival!"
Nightingale looked aggrieved. She wanted to report it, but her master was not happy about it. One glare from him frightened her so much that she dared not open her mouth.
"Grandmother, has something happened in the capital? Why did Grandfather come back from the border?"
Han Luoxue was still a little angry. Ouyang Zhen hadn't told her about such a big thing.
She's buried herself so tightly, what's wrong with this man wanting to beat her up?
"Snow Girl, come in quickly, don't be angry!"
Han Luoxue obediently walked to the old lady's side. The old lady took her hand and made her sit down, then patted the back of her hand: "Zhen'er meant well. He was afraid you would worry, so he didn't tell you."
"It's been so long since Zhou Yuan went to Yancheng, and there's still no news from there. At that time, the Emperor suspected that the three children might not be in Yancheng anymore."
Han Luoxue's heart skipped a beat. She had always wondered where those people would hide the children after they were taken away, but she had never imagined that the three children might have already been given away.
But why were they sent away?
"He was just guessing, he didn't have any evidence, so he didn't tell you. Xue girl, don't be angry."
"As you know, things aren't peaceful on the Western Shu border right now. The Crown Prince of Xiyao Kingdom is leading so many people to guard the border, and there have been constant clashes, but they haven't gained any advantage."
"Grandmother, you mean..."
Han Luoxue's voice trembled; she could hardly believe the result.
It's not a short distance from Yancheng to the Xishu border, especially with three young children in tow.
Taking someone there without them noticing is not something an ordinary person can do.
That……
