Chapter 51. Retreat to Advance (Second Update) Retreat to Advance (Second Update)…



"We are old, and your father has been ill from alternating cold and warm weather, and he can't eat." Old Madam Chen is a person who will not let go of her son once she sees him. Especially after her son got a promotion, she had been asking for such a small amount of money, and she was already uncomfortable. But her daughter-in-law was a stubborn person, and never gave them much benefits, so they had to ask their son for more.

Yang Zhao frowned: "Why haven't I heard Madam mention it?"

Old Madam Chen wrinkled her nose and said, "We ordered ten doses of medicine, how could she not know? You've been away from home for a long time, she would try to fool you if she could."

Yang Zhao didn't quite believe this, but he knew that Old Madam Chen wanted money, so he took out a purse from his waist, took out two taels of silver from it and handed it to Old Madam Chen, "Here, this is for you. I have to take care of things all day in the palace, and my grandchildren need to go to school. When Sister Rong gives birth in the future, the family will have to pay for it. I don't have much money."

The two elders in my family are like a bottomless pit. No matter how much you give them, they always think it is not enough.

As expected, Old Madam Chen took the money and put it on her waist quickly, then she spat on the ground, "You are also fooling me. What kind of family did Yurong marry into? Last time, my grandson-in-law gave me fifty taels at once. It was a big gift. He is much more conscientious than you two. You are still worried about Sister Rong giving birth to a child. I advise you not to worry about the Wei family."

When Zhu, who was standing outside the door, heard this, she immediately stepped in and asked anxiously, "You are still asking Xuan Ning for money? You two have brought shame to our family."

She, the Zhu family, had always been neither humble nor arrogant. Although her family background, status and official position were lower than those of the Wei family, she always claimed that she did not want a single needle or thread from the Wei family, and even returned all the betrothal gifts.

I didn't expect my parents-in-law to hold me back again...

She wondered if the Wei family would think they were inferior to her when she went there that time.

Yurong married into a wealthy family and her life was not easy enough. Can't these people live a good life?

But it was said that Madam Chen had quietly slipped out. Zhu glared at Yang Zhao and went to the main hall with red eyes. Yang Zhao hurriedly chased after her and said apologetically, "What's wrong with you? Oh, don't be sad."

"If your parents continue to be like this, I really can't stay here anymore." She felt that her parents-in-law were simply rogues who could not see the plight of their granddaughter at all and were only concerned about money.

Yang Zhao was careful, "Don't worry, I won't give you even three melons and two dates next time."

He took Zhu's arm and went into the inner room. Zhu blushed and pushed him: "What are you doing? It's broad daylight, get out now."

Yang Zhao coughed and said, "What are you thinking about? I really have something to tell you, and it's about my son-in-law."

"Oh, what's that?"

"My son-in-law will be going to Qingzhou to take up his post soon. Qingzhou is a bitterly cold place. My daughter has been sent to Moyun Temple to take care of her baby. I'm afraid she doesn't even know what's going on."

Zhu frowned, "Why would my son-in-law be transferred to Qingzhou? He's doing a good job as Jingzhao Shaoyin. It's not even a year yet. Why would he go to such a barren place? Tell me, did he offend someone?"

Who did he offend? Yang Zhao scratched his head and said, "Then I don't know. You know, I have always been by the Queen's side to protect her. I come home every day after work, so I don't know that much."

"Forget it, forget it. It's useless to ask you." Zhu thought for a moment and then asked anxiously, "Will Yurong also follow me to take up the post?"

She was worried.

Yang Zhao waved his hand: "Of course that's impossible. The Queen Mother has promised me that she will summon Yurong from time to time in the future to show her favor. Besides, Yurong is not that stupid in a barren place like Qingzhou."

"It's hard to say." Zhu sighed.

As the couple was talking, someone outside said that Wei Xuanning had arrived. Zhu thought to herself, "Speak of the devil, and he will appear."

Wei Xuanning never comes empty-handed when he comes to visit, and today the gift boxes are piled half a mountain high.

Zhu couldn't help but say, "You just came over, why did you bring so many things? It's really unnecessary. If you do this again next time, don't come. Why are you being so polite?"

When you give a gift, you must have something to ask for. But Wei Xuanning was not the type to say that he wanted to abduct your daughter to a barren land. Instead, he did the opposite: "Originally, I was planning to wait for Rongrong to give birth. After all, I can still be with her. But I have to go to Qingzhou soon. Rongrong will have to be taken care of by my parents-in-law in the future."

He even stood up and bowed. Zhu hurriedly helped him up, thinking, it's a good thing you didn't ask my daughter to go with you. She couldn't help but worry about her son-in-law: "Why are you transferred to such a far place? Do you want us to talk to the Empress? Although we can't say much, it's good at least."

Wei Xuanning said hurriedly, "Please mother-in-law, don't ask me for anything on your behalf. Since ancient times, thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. But I am worried about Rongrong, and I am afraid that she will know and go with me. I want mother-in-law to go to Moyun Temple with me tomorrow to persuade Rongrong."

This title is quite intimate. After all, Zhu is a woman and more considerate. She always calls Yurong "Rongjie" and has never called her "Rongrong" in a redundant way. She is so affectionate in calling her son-in-law.

It seems that the couple has a good relationship. He may be afraid that his daughter will not want to stay.

But Zhu couldn't agree directly, instead she said: "This is a husband and wife singing and following, if you go to Qingzhou, Yurong should go with you, but she is pregnant, for the sake of the baby in her belly, don't worry, I will persuade her well.

Wei Xuanning agreed, but then said sadly: "I don't know when I will be back. Although we have been married for a short time, we have never had a quarrel."

It was rare for a grown man like him to express his true feelings, but Zhu remained silent. No matter what, it was best for her daughter to stay in Kyoto.

Fortunately, she has confidence in her daughter.

The three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries before Wei Xuanning said goodbye, "So, I will leave first. I will send someone to invite my mother-in-law to come over tomorrow."

Zhu nodded, "Okay."

He then said to Yang Zhao, "I bought some good wine for my father-in-law. I will not be around him anymore. Please take good care of you and your mother-in-law."

Yang Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

Wei Xuanning strode out, full of confidence. If he had come directly and asked Yurong to go with him, his parents-in-law would definitely not agree. Instead, they would think he was selfish. It was best to retreat in order to advance.

As for Yurong, it would be better for him to keep her by his side. Li Xun was simply haunting her.

**

As for Yurong, she had just finished a bowl of vegetarian noodles for breakfast. The noodles were very well made, with a lot of chopped mushrooms on top. They were very fresh and tender, with a unique mushroom flavor. Even the soup was fresh, but not greasy.

"Are there any more wild vegetable buns? I want to eat one." When they were at Wei's house, Wei Xuanning didn't like buns, and Yurong naturally didn't eat much either. Now the buns here were so delicious that she couldn't help but touch her belly and defend herself, saying that she was eating them for the baby.

When Xuebai was about to go get it, she turned back and said, "Grandma, my wife and our eldest son are here. They are at Mingxi Hall. The eldest son asked you to come over. He brought a lot of snacks. I'm afraid he came to see you specially."

Is Wei Xuanning here? Yurong quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and said to Bitao, "Bring me my bright red dress and my headgear."

Although she was urged to do so, Yurong still put on her makeup and went over.

Bi Tao quietly praised: "You are so beautiful."

"Fortunately, I don't have any spots on my face, otherwise I would have to apply powder, which would be troublesome." She arrived at Mingxi Hall excitedly, and happened to see Zhu and Wei Xuanning. Wei Xuanning was dressed very simply today, but she was beautiful and graceful.

"Mother, husband." She ran over with her skirt lifted up.

Wei Xuanning quickly supported him, "Why are you in such a hurry? We won't just turn around and leave."

Yurong smiled and said, "I haven't seen my family for a long time. I miss you so much."

She almost confessed her love, but luckily she saw Zhu. She took Zhu's hand and asked, "Mother, are you doing well these days? I miss you every day."

Zhu didn't believe this, because just now her daughter only had her husband in her eyes.

As long as this man is good-looking, he will seduce many young girls. However, Yurong has always been steady in important matters, so Zhu is not worried.

"Yurong, it's like this. Your son-in-law has received the transfer order. He will be appointed as an official in Qingzhou. Qingzhou is bitterly cold, and you are pregnant. Your health has not been very good to begin with. Your son-in-law wants you to stay in Beijing." Zhu spoke before Wei Xuanning.

Yurong only then knew about this. She looked at Wei Xuanning, "Really? You are going to Qingzhou. Why?" She remembered that Wei Xuanning did a good job.

Who knows Wei Xuanning smiled bitterly: "Since ancient times, thunder, lightning, rain and dew have all been grace from the emperor."

He breathed a sigh of relief again. "I will be leaving in a few days. I have already told my grandmother that someone will come to pick you up in half a month. I have also asked my second aunt to take good care of you. Don't worry about everything. If you have any problems, just write to me. I have also collected a lot of storybooks and put them at home. You can read them when you go back."

Then he whispered, "I'll put my personal belongings in the left compartment of your desk. I'll also leave Zhu Luo to you. Zhu Luo is someone I can use. If you have any tasks that you can't ask others to do, you can ask him to do them. Don't worry. And..."

The more he talked, the more guilty Yurong felt. He was too good to her.

"Stop talking. I want to go to Qingzhou. It's home here with you." Yu Rong said with a smile. She still liked to be with Wei Xuan Ning. They had only been separated for a few days in Mo Yun Temple and it was already very hard for her to bear it, let alone going to Qingzhou for several years.

Zhu quickly interrupted, "Sister Rong, how can you travel so hard when you are pregnant? What if something goes wrong? Your son-in-law is doing this for your own good. Don't be stupid. The child is the most important."

"No, he will protect me. When we went to Mo Yun Temple, he held me in his arms and walked up step by step. So, even if we go somewhere else, he will protect me." Yu Rong didn't like to hear that children were the most important. In her previous life, all three of her children had the intention to kill their mother, which was not a good thing.

It was rare that Wei Xuanning was so good to her. If he wasn't soft-hearted, he wouldn't have killed the tiger and ended up being killed by it. This was all for her.

Besides, she didn't want to leave him.

"My lord, I will follow you."

Wei Xuanning looked embarrassed. Zhu snorted coldly and secretly glanced at her son-in-law. Seeing that he didn't try to persuade her anymore, she understood everything.

She said that the good-looking man was a male vixen and even her daughter had fallen for him.
