But sometimes being honest is not a good idea. For example, she had already rejected Jiangxia King Li Xun. If she brought up the past again, it would make it difficult for Wei Xuanning. What if he was so upset that he went to deal with Li Xun? Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, we should keep a low profile.

Yurong just looked at Wei Xuanning steadily and said, "No one else can take me away. Our marriage is destined by God and no one can break us up." This was also a tactful way of telling Wei Xuanning that Li Xun could not break us up at all.

Smart people speak, and they understand everything. Wei Xuanning smiled and said, "Yes, we are destined to be together."

Wei Xuanning was appointed as the Salt Transport History of Qingzhou this time. It was a tough job. Everyone knew that there were many private salt dealers in Qingzhou, and they were repeatedly banned. Even most of the bribes received by the court officials came from these private salt dealers. Officials protected each other, and only one-tenth or twelve-tenth of the salt was presented to the court. These salt dealers supported many salt miners, and each of them was a ruthless character.

Therefore, Wei Xuanning decided to set off as soon as possible. Wei Xiang also agreed with his son's approach, "You go there early and understand the situation early. The emperor's order this time is very urgent, but as the saying goes, it may not be a bad thing to take advantage of the situation."

"My son thinks so too."

Wei Xiang glanced at him and said, "You have to suffer this consequence because you failed last time. Your father can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you forever." He couldn't help but feel that his son lacked ruthlessness. After a failure, he should have taken advantage of the victory to cut off one of the new emperor's arms first, and then create internal chaos. What a good strategy it was.

However, the next day, his son tried to please the new emperor and asked Wei Zhongting to find the murderer. It was all wasted.

Look at the daughter they raised. A few nice words turned the situation around.

He was Du's son born after a difficult labor. When he was born, he was extremely weak, with soft and sparse hair. The midwife once said that men like him would easily become soft-hearted.

Wei Xiang scoffed at this, thinking that his son would be as iron-fisted, hard-blooded and heartless as he was. Sure enough, as Wei Xuanning grew up, he did everything to his liking, but he failed in the most important thing. How could he not blame himself?

Wei Xuanning said seriously, "Yes, my son will be more careful in the future."

"Well, now that we've packed up, let's get going as soon as possible."

Because they were in a hurry, Yurong also instructed everyone to pack their boxes. There were a total of more than ten maids, old women, and wet nurses brought this time. The weather in Qingzhou was cold, so they brought most of the big woolen clothes. Other miscellaneous items such as pills, typhoid prescriptions, and even mattresses for the carriage were all brought along.

Although she was not very good at cooking, she was very good at planning. "I heard that kind of bean cake is easy to store. You can ask the kitchen staff to make more bean cakes. Also, put a bag of sweet potatoes in it. Every time I cook porridge, put some in it for me. As for the ham, chicken and dried food, put them all away. Also, weigh more broken silver."

Bi Tao wrote down everything, and Li Rui found it very magical. She even asked Bi Tao privately: "Has the eldest grandmother ever traveled far away from home? How does she know so much?"

Bi Tao and You Rongyan said: "Our great grandmother is a scholar who never leaves home. She knows everything in the world. She is always reading books. Recently, she has read a lot of Qingzhou local chronicles. To be honest, our great grandmother is just unlucky because she is a girl. Otherwise, if she had taken the imperial examination, she might have won the first place. Our great grandmother can recite such a thick book by heart after reading it once."

"That's really unusual." Li Rui couldn't help but laugh: "If the eldest grandmother was a man, and had such a face, wouldn't all the young ladies in Kyoto be longing for Yang Lang?"

"You guys are going to die, making fun of my grandmother." Xuebai came in and shook her head with a smile.

Bi Tao and Li Rui were both older maids, very stable and seldom made jokes. Unfortunately they were seen by Xue Bai, and they kept it to themselves.

After returning, Wei Xuanning announced that they were going out. Yurong sat in the most spacious carriage. She did not feel any vibration at all. There were storybooks and snacks, a bottle of spring water, and Wei Xuanning was there to keep her company. Yurong did not feel tired at all.

"Do you want to sleep for a while? Just lean on me and sleep." Wei Xuanning pointed to his shoulder.

But Yurong shook her head: "No, I just got up not long ago. My mother told me not to sleep so long during the day, otherwise it would be bad for my health if I sleep all day and night."

Zhu came to see her off and talked a lot. She was probably afraid that she would be sad and couldn't bear to say goodbye.

But what everyone was most concerned about was her health. The journey to Qingzhou would take at least two months by land, with people sleeping in the open air. She was in frail health and everyone was afraid something might happen to her. However, because of her grandson's request, Old Madam Wei would not say much. Zhou Ziying was the stepmother, so only Chen gave a few words of advice. However, she could not make the decision for Wei Xuanning after all. Whenever Wei Xuanning said that he needed his wife to go, she would not say anything more.

Just as she set out on her journey, Yurong thought of her family and couldn't help but feel a little sad. "I don't know when I can see my mother, aunt, and grandmother again."

Wei Xuanning comforted him, "I will come back, don't worry."

They left Kyoto that night. Yurong seemed to be interested in almost all the scenery she saw when she opened the curtains. During the day, Wei Xuanning was usually with his staff or alone in a carriage. Although they were husband and wife, they could not be together all day long, as this would make others think that he was indulging in the pleasures of his concubines.

Yurong still seldom asked for anything. Every day she would sit in the carriage and chat with the maids, as if she were not there on the road.

Wei Xuanning's subordinates were also very satisfied. This time, with the addition of the great grandmother, who was a pregnant woman, the number of troops following them secretly increased a lot. It was not that no one complained about it, but no one dared to say much. After all, Wei Xuanning was the future head of the Wei family and had great power.

What's more, the eldest grandmother is the Empress' niece, and her father is the Empress's close attendant. They are also afraid that any news will be leaked out.

It couldn't be better now that Yang is so well behaved.

The eldest son refused to let go of the eldest grandmother, but they still had to be on guard, as this was the Prime Minister's intention.

But they soon realized that this grandmother was also a tough character.

But they talked about the Luzhou Posthouse, which was the largest posthouse in the north, with officials coming and going like a multitude of fish. When Wei Xuanning and Yurong came in, it was already dusk. The postmaster bowed and led them in. Yurong was holding her breath in the carriage, so she did not wear a veil. She was always radiant, and in this posthouse, even in dusk, she attracted many people's attention as soon as she came in.

The dinner was brought over by the postmaster, who said carefully, "Master Wei, our food and wine here are simple, please don't reject them."

Wei Xuanning said he didn't dare.

But Yurong, who was smiling just now, frowned, "Would you like to try this food and wine first?"

The maids who were serving around rarely saw Yurong like this. The postmaster thought he had heard it wrong, but then he saw Yurong stand up and look at him sarcastically, "Why, do you want someone to pour it into your mouth?"

Having said that, he had already stabbed the postmaster in the stomach with lightning speed.

This sudden change made Wei Xuanning stunned, and the maids were even more panicked, but Yurong yelled at them, "Why are you panicking? Lirui, cover the wine with your hand and touch his face."

Li Rui did not dare to disobey and immediately did as she was told. Everyone was shocked to see that the postmaster, who had just fallen in a pool of blood, had a thin layer of □□ on his face.

Only then was Wei Xuanning surprised, "They actually took action so early."

Yu Rong sneered, "This is the mainland. If we die here, it will have nothing to do with Qingzhou. Husband, this is only the first time. You can't underestimate these people."

In her opinion, Wei Xuanning had only been an official for a few years. Although he came from a noble family with countless people serving as officials, he still underestimated the wickedness of human nature. In her time, there were countless people who were about to be assassinated, and her own son could deliver poison to the shore. Therefore, she was extremely alert. As soon as the postmaster came in, Yurong had already discovered that something was wrong.

But all the staff and subordinates around her who usually treated her differently were like dead people. It was no wonder that Wei Xuanning died a short-lived ghost in her previous life.

Wei Xuanning immediately called his men over and quickly dealt with the people. Yurong only told the maids who were present today, "You must do your job well. From now on, you must personally monitor everything that can be eaten. If I find anyone who is not careful, it is normal for one or two people to die of illness on the way."

Li Rui and Xue Bai were so frightened that they quickly knelt down. Even Bitao and La Mei were frightened and knelt down as well.

"Get up, and be more alert in the future." Yurong glanced at them.

These girls seemed to have had a nightmare today. Blood was gushing out of the fake postmaster's stomach, and the one holding the knife was the eldest grandmother who usually never spoke loudly.

But as a pregnant woman, my grandmother was the same as before, and seemed even calmer.

Even calmer than the eldest son.

Wei Xuanning came back in the middle of the night. Yurong was already fast asleep at this time, and Wusi was completely shocked. He had never thought that Yurong was wearing a dagger, and she reacted very quickly, even stabbing the man's heart.

Those people did not dare to poison him directly, but they gave him a slow-acting poison which was difficult to detect, and within ten days or half a month his body was badly damaged.

He was afraid of waking up Yurong, so he could only think secretly. However, he saw a pair of warm hands holding his in the darkness, and Wei Xuanning then shook hands in return.

"Are you okay?" Yurong asked worriedly, afraid that she had been too harsh today and scared him.

But Wei Xuanning laughed at himself: "If it weren't for you today, I would have been in danger. I always thought I was smart, thinking that the little postmaster would only curry favor with my Wei family, but I never thought--"

Yurong took over the conversation, "Every failure makes you wiser." At that time, there was a beauty in Li Xun's harem who was extremely lovely. It was rare that she felt compassion for her and got along well with the beauty. She even risked her life to save her once, which made Yurong let down her guard against her. She never thought that because of letting down her guard, her eldest son was almost killed.

At that time, she knew that no one in the world could be trusted, and the more lovable and pitiful they were, and the better they treated her, the more likely they were to have ulterior motives.

Not to mention people you don’t know, you need to be extra cautious.

But at the same time, the reason why she had a good impression of Wei Xuanning was precisely because she brought no benefits to Wei Xuanning, but he still wanted to marry her.
