"Go ahead." Gu An waved his hand in relief. "Tomorrow is your mother's birthday. Ask An to accompany Qingmian, Tingji and their siblings, and to check on Wanwan's itinerary for Yuezhou."
"yes."
After receiving his father's instructions, Gu Tingchen thought about what happened last night and wished he could see his cousin immediately, so he hurried out of the study.
When they arrived at the middle courtyard, they saw Ye Wanshu leading three little ones and a group of servants walking over, talking and laughing.
Seeing this unlucky thing, Ye Wanshu stopped laughing and glanced at Gu Tingchen with caution while protecting the three little guys.
"Wanwan, my cousin was drunk last night and didn't mean to offend you siblings. Don't take it personally."
Gu Tingchen, contrary to his usual behavior, took the initiative to step forward and apologize: "But what my cousin said last night counts. From now on, I will never go to a place of prostitution again, and I will never drink again."
This stunned everyone.
Gu Qingmian asked in shock: "Second brother, are you okay?"
"Of course I'm fine." Gu Tingchen's eyes were still looking at Ye Wanshu. He asked with a gentle smile, "Have you prepared everything for your trip to Yuezhou? I'll arrange for some people to escort you..."
"No need." Ye Wanshu was a little surprised by what he said. She didn't know what tricks he was playing. She said in a cold tone, "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. I'm just going to visit my relatives and will be back in a few months. There's no need to mobilize a large force, cousin."
He has let me down all my life, so it is reasonable for me to lie to him this time. I must not tell him that I will never return to the Duke's Mansion.
"Leaving the day after tomorrow?"
Gu Tingchen was silent for a moment. Anyway, she would be there soon, so there was no need to worry about anyone daring to embarrass her.
"It's better to go early and come back early."
He smiled and responded, "It's rare that Qingmian and Tingji are both at home. How about I accompany you to the Changle Street Theater to watch Yue Opera?"
His attitude today was getting weirder. He didn't say anything sarcastic, but he also didn't stop her from going to Yuezhou, which made Ye Wanshu confused for a moment.
After all, he is the elder brother of Qingmian and Tingji, and he cannot instigate their brotherly relationship because of himself. Ye Wanshu looked at the two siblings.
Having stayed in Yunqing Mountain for a long time, the brother and sister naturally liked the hustle and bustle of Lin'an City, and they both looked at Ye Wanshu hesitantly.
"If you like, go ahead."
Seeing that they were about to leave the Duke's Mansion, as long as Gu Tingchen did not continue to make trouble, Ye Wanshu was willing to keep her distance from him and maintain a superficially harmonious brother-sister relationship.
After being in a stalemate for so many days, seeing that his cousin's attitude towards him had finally softened a lot, Gu Tingchen's long-silent heart finally warmed a little.
He led the siblings out of the house with a forced smile, and then started to plan his cousin's trip to Yuezhou, and seemed to feel much more at ease.

Cross-state border
After traveling for several days in a row, the convoy of Yongning Palace was exhausted.
Just as they were about to enter Yuezhou City, Fu Yunni started to get angry.
"Brother, after we return to the palace, won't it take quite some time to get to Jikang County?"
Looking at the two forked roads, Xiao Douding tugged at Fu Mingchi's clothes and refused to let go: "Shall we go to Jikang County first?"
Butler Zhao frowned, "Your Highness, Princess, the Concubine Dowager has already learned that we have returned to Yuezhou. If we don't go back and see the Concubine Dowager first, I'm afraid she will be unhappy when she finds out."
"That's because mother doesn't know that my elder brother is going to Jikang County to meet my future sister-in-law. If she knew about this, she might have to rush to Jikang County herself." Fu Yunni said confidently.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little idiot?" Fu Mingchi scolded seriously, "It's just a chance encounter, how can you call her sister-in-law?"
Just thinking about the girl being drugged, he suddenly became extremely uneasy.
I don't know if she was framed by her family or has other difficulties. I have to find out the truth to feel at ease.
Glancing at Butler Zhao with a flat expression, Fu Mingchi said in a calm tone, "It just so happens that I have some official business to go to Jikang County. Since the young princess wants to visit that girl, you can go to the city in advance to buy some more things and stop by to see her."
"On the way?"
Butler Zhao had a bitter look on his face. This was at least a two hundred li detour, and the delay would make his return trip several days late.
"Your Highness..."
Just as he was about to open his mouth to persuade them, Fu Mingchi gave him a cold look. Butler Zhao had no choice but to shut up and ordered everyone, "Change the route to Ji Kang County."
Seeing this, Fu Yunni smiled with satisfaction and pulled Fu Mingchi back into the carriage.
The group rushed towards Jikang County in a dusty manner.
