Chapter 180 Belated Courtesy
"What do you know? Although she is not sensible, I think her elder brother understands her. We can still do favors for her." Xiahou Qing gave his subordinate a clear look.
"Your Highness is right." An Bing said with a wry smile.
"It is just what I want that this woman does not come to bother me. I was afraid that she would be a nuisance."
"She has good eyesight, isn't she?"
While the master and servant were chatting about women's gossip, Yun Wansheng in the other room had already washed up and gone to bed.
The next day, Yun Wansheng packed up early and waited until Fang Zheng called her to go out. This was also the time when Prince Yu was leaving.
However, this time Yun Wansheng was waiting for them at the door of the inn, hoping that Prince Yu would come out and thank him.
You can choose not to go to his room to find him, but you cannot really ignore his kindness. Expressing gratitude in public will not cause misunderstanding and will also let others know that you are a grateful person.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Prince Yu coming out surrounded by several subordinates. After he came down the stairs, Yun Wansheng took a few steps forward and bowed to him.
"Meet Prince Yu."
"Madam Yun, there's no need to be so polite. We have to get on the road." Xiahou Qing said in a light tone and was about to walk towards the carriage.
"Prince Yu, thanks to your care along the way, I have been spared a lot of trouble. I have waited here to express my gratitude to you. Thank you very much!"
As she spoke, Yun Wansheng formally bowed to him again. In ancient times, the powerful and wealthy paid the most attention to etiquette, which she understood.
If she didn't express her feelings at all, the prince would definitely be unhappy. She couldn't afford to offend such a person.
Her thanks made Xiahou Qing pause again. It turned out that this young woman understood etiquette. Not only did she understand it, but she also knew when was the most appropriate time to express gratitude.
"Madam Yun, you are too polite. It is only natural for me to help you. Don't worry about it. Get in the car! We will be in the capital in three days."
"Yes! I'll get in right away." Yun Wansheng responded, turned around and walked towards the carriage behind.
Xiahou Qing looked at her tall figure with a slightly darker look in his eyes: "An Bing, it seems that we are judging others by our own standards!"
"Uh! Your Highness, I am too petty." How could he let his master be labeled as a villain?
His words made Xiahou Qing laugh out loud: "You are indeed good at talking. I value you so much. Let's go!"
The group continued on their journey. With them, they had a safe and smooth journey. Three days later in the afternoon, they arrived at the capital city of Fanyi.
When they were passing through a busy and bustling area, they came to a crossroads. The carriage in front stopped, and when they stopped, the people behind them naturally had to stop as well.
"Miss, it's time for us to turn. Do you want to go and say hello to Prince Yu?" Fang Zheng got out of the car and reminded the people in it.
"Of course I have to go." As she spoke, Yun Wansheng had already walked out of the carriage.
When he reached the luxurious carriage, he gently said to the side window: "Prince Yu, thank you for taking care of me along the way. I will ask my eldest brother to come to thank you in person someday."
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Yu lifted the carriage curtain, revealing his handsome face, which was stern yet elegant. "Madam Yun, I only did a trivial thing. You don't need to worry about it. Now that I have brought you safely to the capital, I am relieved. It's getting late. Go find your elder brother!"
"Prince Yu, go first!" Yun Wansheng knelt down and saluted.
Xiahou Qing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then lowered the curtain: "Go back home!"
Yun Wansheng watched them leave before getting back on the carriage and waving the whip as she headed towards the government office.
After driving for an unknown amount of time, Yun Wansheng suddenly realized that the car had stopped, which made her lift the curtain on one side first.
As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw a solemn and imposing vermilion gate. When I raised my eyes again, I saw three big characters written on the plaque of the gate: Shangguan Mansion!
"Miss Yun, we're here." Fang Zheng said at this time.
Yun Wansheng got out of the car and went up the stairs with Fang Zheng.
"Miss Yun, please wait a moment. I'll go knock on the door." As he said this, he stepped forward and knocked on the doorknob a few times.
Soon, the door opened and a servant appeared in front of the two.
"Hey! Captain Fang, you're finally back. The general was just asking about you." As the servant spoke, his eyes also glanced at the woman behind Fang Zheng.
"Aqi, the young lady is here, but you haven't shown yourself yet." Fang Zheng reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Ah Qi hurried forward and bowed, "Your servant greets the young lady."
"Get up! How is my elder brother?" Yun Wansheng said with a slight curl of her lips, glancing at Fang Zheng.
She had walked all the way here and had no idea that this man was actually a captain. No wonder he dared to go pick someone up alone, but he was also very tight-lipped.
"Miss, the general is fine! Please come into the mansion." Ah Qi hurriedly led the man into the mansion.
Yun Wansheng walked into the gate with a slight raise in her eyes, and saw a house with three entrances and three exits. From the outside, it looked like a very new house. It seemed that her elder brother was living well in the capital.
After looking at the magnificent and beautiful Shangguan Mansion, they came to the backyard, and Ah Qi ran a few steps to pass on the message.
Sure enough, before she even reached the stairs, she saw the door suddenly open, and saw Shangguan Lan walking out with a look of surprise on her face: "Little sister! You're finally here."
"Brother! How are you these days?" Yun Wansheng smiled naturally and took two steps forward.
Shangguan Lan happily took her hand and led her into the house: "Brother is fine! You have worked hard on the journey. Come, bring some tea and snacks." After giving the order, he pushed Yun Wansheng to the main seat.
Yun Wansheng was very happy to see him welcoming her so much, and the smile on her face deepened a little.
Tea and snacks were quickly served, and it was obvious that they were prepared in anticipation of her arrival.
"Little sister, it's just past noon. You should have some snacks to fill your stomach first. I'll ask the kitchen to make you something to eat." After saying that, he gave the maid a few instructions and asked her to go to the kitchen.
"I'm actually a little hungry." He looked at Fang Zheng who had been waiting there. "Brother, I'm so grateful to Captain Fang for taking care of my meals and lodging. You must reward him well later."
"It's my duty, Fang Zheng. You've worked hard, and I will remember your contribution. You can have your meal here later!" Shangguan Lan said sincerely.
"Thank you for your kindness, General. I have been away from home for many days and want to go back to see my mother first, so I won't stay for dinner." Fang Zheng said gently.
"That's fine. Auntie will surely miss you, so go back first! I'll talk to you in detail later in Japan."
"Yes! I'll take my leave." He bowed and left Shangguan Mansion.
"Brother, why did you let a captain come to pick me up? Isn't it a waste of his talent? Besides, I just found out that he has an official position." Yun Wansheng ate snacks and drank tea.
