Chapter 566
The journey to Luoyang was exceptionally smooth. The convoy entered Luoyang under the glow of the setting sun and headed straight for the Yunnan Prince's Palace.
Chen Qiang had received the news earlier and was waiting at the door with her butler and a group of stewards.
Huo Shu dismounted and embraced the lady who was coming to greet him.
"You're finally back," Chen Qiang whispered.
Huo Shu chuckled lightly: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Madam. It's my fault."
Just then, the carriage made a noise, and Chen Qiang stepped out of his arms and turned to greet Zhong Jie.
The moment Chen Qiang saw Yun Xi, her eyes widened: "You..."
“This is my younger sister,” Zhong Jie said.
Chen Qiang said "Oh," then suppressed her surprise and smiled, "You can tell at a glance that she's her mother's biological daughter!"
The family entered the Prince's Mansion. Huo Shu hurriedly ate dinner and went to the palace, while Zhong Jie and Chen Qiang took Madam Chen and Yun Xi to Shanshui Residence.
Shanshui Residence is a three-courtyard complex with two side courtyards on the east and west sides. Inside, there are stacked stones forming mountains, water flowing around, and many rare plants and trees used as decorations. It is no exaggeration to call it a fairyland.
After settling Madam Chen and Yunxi in, Chen Qiang went back with Zhong Jie.
"Mother, has my sister's identity been confirmed?"
Zhong Jie nodded: "It's confirmed, that's right."
Upon hearing Zhong Jie's words, Chen Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, then snorted coldly and said, "Mother doesn't know that I actually saw my sister when I came back just now."
"oh?"
“Back then, my sister came with people from the Marquis of Changping’s mansion. The young mistress of that mansion even wanted to take my sister’s place,” Chen Qiang said. “Now look what’s happened, she’s become the Crown Prince’s biological daughter. She’s really risen to the top in one step.”
Hearing Chen Qiang's words, Zhong Jie's expression darkened slightly: "There's actually such a thing?"
"Yes, but don't worry, Mother, I didn't take that young mistress seriously at the time."
After all, Yun Wan and Zhong Jie have absolutely nothing in common.
After a moment of silence, Zhong Jie said, "Go and send a letter to that Marquis's mansion later, and ask them to bring the young master over tomorrow."
That's Yunxi's child. Now that they're back, it's only natural that they should raise the child.
Chen Qiang nodded in agreement: "Now that my sister is back, shall we hold a banquet so that outsiders can recognize her?"
"No need for now. Xi'er is still very scared after what the Yun family did to her. Let's talk about it later."
Chen Qiang sensed Zhong Jie's resentment and comforted her, "That's true. Anyway, your sister is already back, so there's no rush."
By this time, we had arrived at the main courtyard.
Zhong Jie went back to rest first, while Chen Qiang turned and went to the front hall.
——
A little later, a note was sent to the backyard of the Marquis of Changping's residence.
Zheng had just returned the child when she was puzzled by the post.
Since returning to Luoyang, the Princess Consort of the Prince of Yunnan has been relatively quiet, except for hosting one banquet. At most, she keeps in touch with old friends, but she has never invited anyone to the Prince of Yunnan's residence.
Moreover, the post also mentioned that children should be brought along.
What exactly is the meaning of the Yunnan Prince's Mansion?
Madam Zhou stepped forward and asked, "Madam, shall we go?"
Madam Zheng frowned and asked about another matter: "How is Zirong?"
Mother Zhou sighed: "I just received a message from Jingyuan saying that the young master is in very bad condition. He hasn't eaten or drunk anything for four days. When he arrived in Jizhou, he only saw a mess in the house and immediately vomited blood and fainted."
"Fortunately, there was a skilled doctor in Jizhou who saved him, but given the prince's condition... it's still hard to say."
In his letter, Jingyuan said that Shen Rang had little will to live and could only be kept alive by the doctor. If he left the clinic, his fate was uncertain.
Hearing this, Zheng felt her heart being clenched tightly.
She only has this one child.
She had poured all her heart and soul into this child, and now that she knew he was like this, how could she not feel heartbroken?
