Everything must be planned before action.
No matter what happened in the past, what matters is the future of the family.
Finally, after an hour, the caravan arrived at the city gate. The gate looked really tall and majestic when viewed from close up. Even the gatekeepers were wearing armor, unlike the local county towns where the guards were all wearing coarse black cloth.
Just when it was the Meng family caravan's turn, a luxurious carriage with two tall horses galloped past them and passed in front of them.
There was a commotion in the crowd, and someone in the back was already shouting, "How come someone else is interfering again, and the city gate officer isn't doing anything about it?"
"Who cares? Just looking at this carriage, we know it belongs to a noble family. We ordinary people can only stand aside."
The innkeeper accompanying the Meng family's cavalry was no longer surprised, so he asked the merchant caravan to stand aside, believing that one less was better.
Chen Heng was not angry at all. To her, everything was new. She and Xia Shi looked at the carriage curiously.
At this time, Xie Jian was heard saying, "This is the carriage from the Duke of Yu's mansion."
Chen Heng also noticed the word "Yu" written within the auspicious cloud pattern on the carriage's roof. "Yu County Duke's Mansion? Is that the house where Min'er went to study?"
"Really?" Suddenly, Xia felt that the carriage in front of her looked extremely familiar.
At this time, the maidservant waiting beside the carriage said impatiently, "Can't you hurry up? My daughter and her husband went to the Imperial Temple to burn incense. They are tired and need to rest at the Duke's Mansion."
"Right away, right away." The city gate officer walked to the carriage window with a flattering look on his face and bowed, "Thank you for your patience, my lord and my lady."
"It's okay, just follow the rules." A gentle voice came.
As soon as he finished speaking, the city gate officer personally escorted the carriage into the city.
The caravan was slow to inspect, so Xie Jian, Chen Heng, and Xia's carriages were allowed to go ahead.
As the carriage slowly entered the city, a woman was seen looking in this direction. After a while, she ran over happily: "Benefactor, Madam Shen, Mei'er greets Benefactor, Madam Shen."
Mei'er? If she hadn't suddenly appeared before her, Shen Heng would have almost forgotten her. After not seeing her for a few months, the girl in front of her had become even more beautiful.
"The house has been cleaned up inside and out. We are just waiting for the benefactor and Madam Shen to arrive." After saying this, Mei'er got on the carriage and sat on the front with the coachman to lead the way.
When Chen Heng lowered the curtain, Xia Shi whispered, "She's Mei'er, isn't she? She seems quite clever. Ah Jian is really a smart man. There are only a few of us in our family, so why do we need a maid? I can do it all by myself."
"Sister-in-law, you won't be as tired as you are at home in the future." Xie Jian said, "If there is anything, just ask Mei'er to do it."
Chen Heng wondered what Liu Zhiyue was planning. Since they were all in the imperial capital, if the original owner really wanted to trip her up, it would be easy to do. But what good would that do?
The house that the Meng family found was an ordinary small house. Although it was a small house, it was much larger than Nan's house. It had a quadrangle courtyard design and two more side rooms. There was also an independent study. There were a few elegant bamboos planted behind the study, which made it quite elegant.
"How come there's everything?" Xia was pleasantly surprised after seeing it. All the furniture was complete, even the quilts were prepared. There was also a kitchen, which was much larger than the one at home. "How much money does this cost per month?"
