Upon seeing her daughter whom she hadn't seen in so long, Mrs. Park burst into tears, tightly gripping Park Yoo-hee's arm, and said in a trembling voice, "Yoo-hee, Yoo-hee...you've become so beautiful!"
Park Yoo-hee held back her tears and smiled, "I've been eating and sleeping well at the Right Prime Minister's residence. Not only have I become more handsome, but I've also gained weight! Mother, today is a joyous occasion, let's not cry!"
Looking at the child in Park Yoo-hee's arms, Mrs. Park asked doubtfully, "This child, is it you and Zhao Yang's..."
"This is my elder brother and the Princess's son, Zhao Changli!"
"Ah? This is the long ceremony!" Park Gun quickly came over.
"What? Where's the long gift?"
"Let me see too!"
"You bunch of uncultured people, make way so I can see the old marshal's grandson!"
Immediately, a group of men swarmed around Park Yoo-hee.
Zhao Huan yelled, "Look at your spineless state! If you want children, go ahead and have them! If not, go home and have them with your wives!"
Bi Fansheng poked his head out and shouted, "Listen to this! Listen to how assertive our old marshal is now! His status in the family has changed since he became a grandfather!"
Song Cheng quickly said, "I don't believe that Grandpa isn't afraid of Grandma!"
"Hahahaha!!!" Everyone burst into laughter.
Mu Zhaojun rolled her eyes at Song Cheng and said to Zhao Huan, "Honey, I'm not going to let you drink today. You can settle your scores and grievances. If you're so capable, get all these bastards drunk!"
Zhao Huan immediately said, "Then we must get them drunk!"
At this moment, Park Gun seemed to have thought of something and quickly walked to Zhao Huan's side, saying, "Find a place for us to settle in and then leave."
Zhao Huan asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Park Gyeom said, “When we entered Yanchuan City, we saw Minister Lu Zhao and Wei You not far behind us. They came on behalf of the Emperor and cannot be ignored.”
Bi Fansheng quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, I was so happy just now that I forgot about that!"
“That won’t do!” Zhao Huan nodded and said to Mu Zhaojun, “Madam, please make arrangements for the older brothers.”
Park Gon added, "People from the Left Prime Minister's residence and the General's residence have also come; they are with Lord Lu."
"Okay, I understand." Zhao Huan looked around, then his gaze fell on He Zhi's face, and he said, "Go and find A-Cheng quickly."
...
Among the groups that came to Yanchuan from Changsui, the largest group was naturally the one consisting of Wei You, Lu Zhao, Yu Changsi, and Du Yucheng.
Not counting the carriages and horses, the entourage alone numbered over a hundred people.
Wang Yucen was in the carriage at the back of the procession. She lifted the curtain and glanced around. Seeing the familiar streets and buildings, she realized that they had entered Yanchuan City.
It has been a year since Wang Yucen left home. She is now sixteen years old, but her height has not changed much. Her face has become a little less childish, but she still looks like a quirky little girl.
"Yu Cen, we've entered Yan Chuan City. Are you hungry?" Du Yucheng's voice came from outside the carriage.
I'm not hungry.
Wang Yucen responded, and Du Yucheng had taken good care of her throughout the journey.
My father also wrote a letter explaining that my parents and brother were not around, and that I should listen to the news from Chengdu the whole way.
Wang Yucen was a restless person. Although he could not leave Changsui City normally, he often went out to play in Changsui City and heard a lot of news.
She knew that Du Yucheng was now one of the "Four Supreme Young Generals" personally appointed by the emperor, and like his second brother, he was a young general on whom the court placed high hopes.
Moreover, his parents thought highly of him.
It even has a bit of... that meaning.
But she didn't care; her heart was only for that man, the man she was about to meet.
"Yu Cen, may I come in?" Du Yucheng's voice came from outside again.
"Come in, Chengdu brother."
Upon hearing this, Du Yucheng immediately lifted the carriage curtain and came in, handing Wang Yucen a water bottle.
"Are you thirsty? Have some water."
Wang Yucen waved his hand and pointed to the water bottle beside him, saying, "I just drank from it, there's more."
Du Yucheng clearly has Western Region blood, but he doesn't look as greasy as his father, Du Yuhe. Instead, he inherited the bravery of Western Region warriors, with distinct facial features, a straight nose, and particularly handsome eyebrows and eyes.
Frankly speaking, this kind of appearance is exactly what girls Wang Yucen's age like.
"Yu Cen, I know this is your hometown. Is there anything you miss or want to eat? I'll go buy it for you."
"No need, let's not delay everyone's journey. Let's go to the Right Prime Minister's residence first!"
Wang Yucen smiled slightly at Du Yucheng and said, "Brother Chengdu, you don't need to take such good care of me. I'll tell you what I need."
"That's good, so please don't stand on ceremony with me!"
Du Yucheng nodded, satisfied with Wang Yucen's words.
In his mind, the arrangement for him to accompany Wang Yucen to Yanchuan was no coincidence, but a deliberate arrangement by his elders.
Create opportunities for him and Wang Yucen to develop their relationship!
Du Yucheng took a liking to Wang Yucen the moment he saw her, especially since she was General Wang's only daughter.
In order to be worthy of Wang Yucen, the already promising young Du Yucheng worked even harder, displaying great bravery in the army, and eventually caught Wang Ren's eye.
Chengdu has a clear plan for its future.
Although my father was a mid-level official, he was not favored by the emperor and could only ever be a loyal dog of the Left Prime Minister's mansion.
But if he marries Wang Yucen and becomes the son-in-law of the great general, then with this stepping stone and his own military achievements, that would truly be a promising future.
I'm still young. When Wen Tai and the others get old, I might just become the God of War of the Great Jing!
Thinking about all this makes Du Yucheng feel excited.
He was full of confidence because Wang Yucen did not dislike him.
Most importantly, Xue Yun liked him very much.
Du Yucheng pondered to himself, thinking of how Xue Yun often mentioned the deceased Wang Yufeng in his ear, and how he would talk about his hatred for Zhao Cheng.
As they drew closer to the Right Prime Minister's residence, Wang Yucen's expression grew increasingly tense, causing Du Yucheng a pang of heartache.
Yu Cen's panicked state is probably because he is about to meet his brother's killer and is feeling uneasy.
Overwhelmed with protectiveness, Du Yucheng suddenly grabbed Wang Yucen's hand and said earnestly, "Yucen, don't worry. Just represent the General's Mansion with your congratulatory gifts. No matter what happens, I will protect you and won't let anyone bully you!"
Wang Yucen was stunned for a moment, then quickly pulled her hand away and said, "Yanchuan City is my home, no one will bully me."
Du Yucheng insisted: "Nothing is best. But if something is, I'll make him pay!"
Wang Yucen said, "Brother Chengdu, I know you're very capable, but don't be too arrogant! When you meet my brother later, you mustn't make things difficult for him."
Du Yucheng frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Your brother?"
