The next day.
Before Chen Yao had even finished her breakfast, she heard some very bad news.
Cai Lian, the maidservant beside the Marquis's wife, hurried over to report: "Miss, the Madam asked you to go to her as soon as you get up."
"Did something happen?" Chen Yao quickly put down the chopsticks in her hand and asked.
"I'm not very clear about the details, but it seems to be related to your maternal grandparents' family. When the lady heard the news this morning, she became very worried and had a migraine. She didn't even have breakfast before she asked me to come and find you." Cai Lian said.
Chen Yao was startled and stood up from the dining table. "I'll go with you to see mother now."
Cai Lian nodded and said, "That's good. With you here, maybe Madam will be able to have some breakfast."
Chen Yao responded and took Xichun and Yuezhu with her.
Only after arriving at the Marquis's wife's courtyard did Chen Yao find out what had happened at her maternal grandparents' home.
"Your grandmother has always missed you very much. Every time she wrote back, half of her thoughts were about you. Your sister used to be jealous, saying that in your grandmother's eyes, you were always the most precious."
"Your grandmother is in very poor health right now, Yaoyao, I think I have to go back no matter what."
"This time, you accompany mother back together, okay?"
The Marquis's wife looked very depressed, and there was a sense of powerlessness in her voice when she spoke these words.
Chen Yao was also feeling bad at this time, "Mom, I promise you, I will go to grandma's house with you."
The Marquis's wife held her hand and whispered softly, "Okay, it's good to have you accompany me."
Madam Hou Yu Man's parents' home is in the Jiangnan area, not close to Chang'an City. This trip will take at least a month.
Moreover, the main route is by water, and who knows how difficult it will be along the way.
It is precisely because of this that Yu Man has not returned to her parents' home for several years, and grandmother Chen Yao's memory of her stops at the time when she was still a young woman.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, they went back again because the old man was ill.
Time has always been cruel. It doesn't give anyone any time to buffer, and it strikes down without warning.
"The journey is long, and we don't have time to delay any longer. The letter has only just been delivered, and your grandmother's current situation is unclear. I think we should pack our bags today and leave as soon as possible in the next two days." Madam Hou looked at Chen Yao and said, "Your father will be back soon, and I will discuss the specific arrangements with him then. I will tell you the departure time later. The journey will be very difficult, so you must be mentally prepared."
Chen Yao pursed her lips and said softly, "Mom, I understand."
The Marquis's wife felt relieved and at ease, and her expression relaxed a little. She asked Chen Yao if she had had breakfast.
Chen Yao thought of what Cai Lian said today and simply replied, "I want to have breakfast with my mother."
Upon hearing this, the Marquis's wife raised her hand and asked Cailian to order the meal to be served.
......
When she returned to her residence, Chen Yao was thinking about inviting a doctor for Mo Chuan, so she asked Ling Su to do it.
After that, she began to think about packing her luggage, with Xichun and Yuezhu accompanying her.
Xichun hadn't forgotten the marriage proposal from yesterday, so she casually mentioned, "Miss, judging by the current situation, you shouldn't have to worry about the marriage proposal. The most important thing now is your trip to Jiangnan. I'm sure Old Madam Yu is worried about you."
Chen Yao sighed, "Yes, I haven't seen her for several years. I don't know how my grandmother is doing now. My mother doesn't know the details either. She said that the letter didn't go into detail."
Xichun comforted her, "Miss, Madam Yu's health will surely get better soon."
Chen Yao sighed softly: "Then I'll borrow your auspicious words."
By then, she would see Old Madam Yu in person, and she could also ask the system to find pills in the background that could cure diseases and strengthen the body, and secretly give them to her.
However, this trip to Jiangnan is not only a long journey, but the round trip will definitely take a lot of time, at least several months.
What will Qi Yunxiao do after she leaves?
In a few months, he should be able to recover his memory, right?
Tsk…
Then, would he just walk away and forget about her?
Even though he looks like he respects her and obeys her in everything now, once his memory is restored, nothing can be said!
Now he is penniless and has nothing. He depends on her for everything, and everything is given by her, so naturally he will have different feelings for her.
But once he remembered his true identity, everything now would be nothing. He would eventually leave here and return to where he belonged.
"By the way, Miss, you and your wife should bring some maids and guards with you on this trip, right?" Yue Zhu asked while packing her things.
"Yes, I will bring it, otherwise my father will definitely be worried." Chen Yao said absentmindedly.
"Who do you plan to take with you?" Yue Zhu asked.
Chen Yao came back to her senses and designated the two of them first, "I have to take you and Xichun with me. My mother should bring Nanny and Cailian with her. As for the guards..."
Chen Yao thought for a moment and said, "Tell me, if I want to take Mo Chuan with me, will my father agree?"
Also, would Mo Chuan himself want to go?
Xichun was the first to speak: "If it's the Marquis, it's hard to say. After all, Mo Chuan has only been here for a short time and doesn't know him very well. The Marquis will definitely consider it in his mind first and won't agree easily."
Yue Zhu continued, "This trip is a long one, and the Marquis will definitely assign his most trusted people to escort you. However, if you want to bring Guard Mo Chuan with you, it shouldn't be a problem to tell the Marquis. Guard Mo Chuan has already passed the Marquis's assessment."
Chen Yao thought about it and said, "Then I'll ask Mo Chuan about his own wishes first."
