Chapter 202: I'd Rather Marry a Mute Slave



Yu Xihe has always liked calligraphy. She would collect calligraphy works by famous calligraphers. Although the handwriting of the mute slave in front was written with a wooden stick, it was difficult to conceal his brushstrokes and calligraphy skills.

The more Yu Xihe looked at it, the more familiar it seemed to her, but she couldn't remember when she had seen this word before.

I think this character may be somewhat similar to Gu Yan's.

Yu Xihe looked back and saw that the mute slave had closed his eyes and was resting. She did not dare to move. She squatted in the cowshed, forcing herself to sleep, planning to leave her uncle's house early in the morning and return to the prefectural government office.

When the sky slowly brightened, Zhao Yun woke up. He had a nightmare, but he couldn't explain what it was.

When Zhao Yun woke up, he saw Yu Xihe squatting in the cowshed, and he kicked Yu Xihe with his foot.

When she woke up, Zhao Yun wrote a few words on the ground with a wooden stick, "I will take you home."

Yu Xihe was surprised that she dared to fall asleep, and looked up at Zhao Yun. This mute slave was very well-behaved and a rare good person.

Yu Xihe was afraid that she would encounter trouble on the road alone. Although she brought a few maids from her uncle's house, those two maids might not be trustworthy. They did not stay by her side last night.

It would be best if a mute slave could escort me back to the prefectural government office.

Zhao Yun saw the yellow cattle mooing at him, and he wrote a few words with a wooden stick, "Wait until I finish feeding the cattle."

Zhao Yun couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the mooing of the yellow cattle beside him. It had only been a few days, but he had already gotten used to feeding the cattle.

After Zhao Yun finished feeding the cows, he sent Yu Xihe back to the prefectural government office in Yuezhou City.

After entering the yamen, Yu Xihe said to Zhao Yun, "Thanks to you last night, otherwise I don't know what I would do. My father cares most about reputation, and he would definitely let me marry my third cousin. Fortunately, you saved me, and I owe you a favor. If you need any help in the future, just ask."

Zhao Yun didn't say much, turned around and left, heading towards the Zhu family winery.

After entering the Zhu family winery, Zhao Yun frowned the whole time. Perhaps because the third son of the Zhu family had failed in his plan yesterday, he came to the winery early this morning and got very angry.

Zhu Ting saw Zhao Yun and asked, "Where have you been? I haven't seen you since early this morning. It's almost New Year's Day, so we need to make more wine."

Zhao Yun did not tell Zhu Ting about the girl from the Yu family, but just followed Zhu Ting to make wine.

In Chang'an City.

On New Year's Eve, Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan went to West Street to deliver New Year's goods to their uncle and aunt.

As for the affairs in the palace, Yun Xiangye kept her mouth shut to her uncle and aunt, not wanting to make them worry too much.

Aunt Ye chuckled and said, "It would be great if you could just come. Why bring so many things?"

Gu Yan said, "These are all donated by the farms below. My family can never finish them all. I hope you don't mind."

Aunt Ye said, "How could I dislike it? I've never seen these wonderful things before."

At noon, Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan had lunch at the Ye family's house.

After lunch, Aunt Ye said to Yun Xiangye, "Xiangye... have you seen your sister these days? Is she okay? She lost her husband at such a young age... I'm afraid it's hard for her to get over it."

Yun Xiangye whispered, "Sister is fine. She still has Yu'er to take care of. Even if she is in pain, she will do her best for Yu'er."

Aunt Ye listened to Yun Xiangye's words and sighed, "Aunt knows you are lying to me. Your husband died young, and they are orphans and widows. With their status, their future will not be easy."

"If it were an ordinary family, she could return to her parents' home after her husband died. We would take good care of her and Yu'er. We owed her so much for so many years. Unfortunately... Alas!"

Yun Xiangye couldn't help but sigh as she listened to what her aunt Ye said. She felt sorry for the love of parents in the world.

Yun Xiangye forced a smile and said, "Aunt, it's New Year's Day today, you should be happy. A new year brings new beginnings. Who knows, maybe after the New Year, you and sister will see each other again."

Aunt Ye also smiled and said, "Indeed, as long as one is still alive, there is still hope for everything."

In the afternoon, Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan took Nuonuo back to the Princess's Mansion.

This year's Chinese New Year is destined to be a dull one. After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just passed away, and no one dares to make a big fuss to congratulate him on the New Year.

There was no lively New Year celebration in the Princess's Mansion, just a family reunion.

After the Chinese New Year, it was Nuonuo’s third birthday. Naturally, this year’s birthday party was not as grand as last year’s.

After the New Year, His Majesty recovered from his serious illness and was able to attend court again. After His Majesty attended court, he was also released from national mourning.

Everyone thought that the Crown Prince had passed away and the national mourning would last for a year, but they didn't expect that the national mourning would be lifted before the end of the first month of the year. Many rich girls came to the Five-Color Embroidery Workshop to order spring clothes.

Business in the embroidery workshop was booming again for a while.

Yun Xiangye has been busy in the embroidery workshop these days, and she always returns to Qingfeng Garden later than Gu Yan.

When I returned home today, I saw Gu Yan holding Nuonuo, and both of them looked at her sadly.

Yun Xiangye took Nuonuo from Gu Yan and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Mother will definitely come back early tomorrow."

Nuonuo pouted and said, "Mom, Nuonuo misses you so much."

Yun Xiangye smiled and said, "How about taking Nuonuo with you to the embroidery workshop tomorrow?"

"Okay!" Nuonuo smiled cutely.

Yun Xiangye kissed Nuonuo's little face.

Gu Yan said to Yun Xiangye, "There's news about the Crown Prince's whereabouts."

Yun Xiangye frowned slightly. In fact, she didn't want the Crown Prince's whereabouts to be revealed from the bottom of her heart. "We found him so quickly. We didn't let him suffer for a few more years. It was really a good thing for him."
