His face immediately lit up with joy: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, Madam."
After the words fell, Lu Yan turned around and left with Qingqing.
Wan Mei watched their departing backs, her heart sinking to the bottom.
The person she used to look down upon the most was now holding money that she had never seen in her life.
"Hahaha, I told you so." Song Jiao'e's sarcastic voice sounded again, but this time before she could finish her words, Wan Mei had already swung her fist and hit her directly in the face.
"What the hell are you talking about? If you hadn't seduced my second brother, insisting that mother find you a servant, how could the whole family have offended them? If it weren't for you, today's good day would have been ours, my poor fourth brother..."
"Don't pretend to be innocent...hahaha..."
Song Jiao'e's face was full of smiles.
"Everyone knows how you survived? You seemed to enjoy serving those disgusting men..."
Every word Song Jiao'e said was like a thorn in Wanmei's heart.
At this moment, she couldn't utter a word.
She felt like there was a huge stone pressing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
"Qingqing is your daughter after all, but you... never treated her as your daughter, hahaha..."
The shrill laughter rang in her ears again and again, and Wan Mei's fists hit Song Jiao'e's face again and again.
Only today did she know what regret was.
It was obvious that good days were within her reach, and she could get them by doing nothing.
But she ruined it all.
Wanmei's tears slid down little by little, as if she had seen the end of her life.
The next day.
When the top scholar was parading through the streets on horseback, the broker held two men with ropes and stood behind the crowd at the corner of the street.
People came out of their homes to watch this rare spectacle.
In the private room on the second floor, Lu Yan and Yu Nian stood at the window with smiles on their faces.
"What do you think? I told you, Lao Liu is definitely Lao Liu!"
Lu Yan's words were difficult to understand, but she could not hide the joy on her face.
Yu Nian pursed her lips, her eyebrows and eyes filled with joy.
"Yeah, that's pretty impressive." Yu Nian responded.
"Do you still want to divorce?" Lu Yan asked.
Yu Nian shook her head, a blush creeping up her face.
"He promised to be with me till old age."
When the words fell, Yu Nian's cheeks were already red.
Her thin lips were gently pursed, and her fair face was full of smiles.
"Hahaha, then let's have a child as soon as possible to keep Qingqing company!" Lu Yan said lightly, but Yu Nian's face became even redder.
It was also at this time that the crowd became noisy.
"Look, the number one scholar is here."
Not far away, I saw a man riding a horse, looking very heroic.
Yu Nian looked in the direction of the sound and saw the man on horseback.
He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, exuding elegance and nobility.
Many girls threw their sachets in the direction of Gu Linxuan. However, the man ignored the frenzy of attention. When he raised his eyes, he met Shangyu Nian's dark and deep eyes.
The corners of the man's mouth suddenly raised into a gentle smile, with a look of doting between his brows.
Yu Nian only felt her heart beating faster. When she looked at Gu Linxuan, he was also looking at her.
"My eyes are about to become threadbare."
Lu Yan teased unhappily from the side.
Hearing this, Yu Nian's face turned even redder. She pursed her lips and reached out to pinch the flesh on Lu Yan's arm: "I told you not to make fun of me, I told you not to make fun of me!"
While the two people were playing, two people tied with ropes downstairs looked like two stray dogs.
They looked up at the man on horseback and couldn't believe their eyes.
"Yes...it's Lao Liu."
Song Jiao'e sat on the ground in embarrassment, and finally cried and laughed.
She didn't understand. It was obvious that Gu Lao Er was the favored one, the one who should have reached the top position. How did this person become Gu Lao Liu? Why?
As for Wan Mei, she now has only endless regret in her heart.
Time seemed to be frozen at this moment.
Even after the turbulent streets quieted down and the horse-riding parade had completely ended, Song Jiao'e was still sitting on the ground. She was in a state of disarray, and she didn't understand how things had turned out like this.
However, at this time, good news came from outside.
"The army will return to the capital today and will be able to enter the city in about an incense stick of time."
Anxious voices were heard from outside, and the people who had been about to disperse gathered back, waiting for the army to return to the capital.
Lu Yan and Yu Nian had already walked down the steps of the teahouse, but upon hearing this, they walked up the steps again.
The two people stood on the windowsill and could just see what was happening outside.
This is the Fourth Prince’s property, called Juxian Teahouse.
Those who can consume here are all Kyoto dignitaries.
At the window, Song Jiao'e and Wan Mei saw Lu Yan and Yu Nian at a glance.
The two of them now had fair skin, no longer as skinny as they had been in Xiaohe Village. Qingqing, who was following them, also had a smile on her face.
"Uncle Wu is coming back. He is a great hero who defends our country."
The little girl showed her missing teeth and had a happy smile on her face.
When Wan Mei looked up, she happened to see this scene.
In a trance, she felt that she had missed a lot.
Missed the good days.
She also missed the path of her child's growth. Qingqing was clearly her child, but she missed her entire growth.
Wanmei looked at Qingqing's happy smiling face and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Hey, you two are really lucky."
When the agent heard that the army was returning to the capital, he immediately became excited.
