An Qingran did not bother with them, but simply ordered someone to drive the carriage to the front post station to wait for them. I wish all the candidates good luck in the exam!
Lou Wanyue also left with An Qingran.
She knew that Zhong Min'er might not really have a stomachache. But could she point it out now? Even if she was in the Shou Palace, she might not do so.
She has never been a competitive person. She has her own persistence and self-esteem, and her self-esteem does not allow her to do this.
But she couldn't help but admit that the pain in her heart existed.
Before, her man had always loved An Qingran, but now he has no memory of her or An Qingran at all. Instead, Zhong Min'er is his legal wife, so no matter what he does, she can't blame him.
But who is to blame for all this?
Do you blame your own fate?
An Qingran's eyes showed understanding, and she said: "I'm sorry to have wronged you..."
Lou Wanyue smiled bitterly and looked at the quiet Dongfang Xin in her arms: "As long as the child likes him..."
"He will recover his memory..." An Qingran stopped here, because she remembered that even if he recovered his memory, the last memory he and Lou Wanyue had was a quarrel over her own affairs.
What help would such memories be to them?
Sure enough, Lou Wanyue smiled sadly: "Well, when he recovers all his memories, I will be more reconciled to his choice. Now, he has completely forgotten us, and I feel unwilling. I also secretly think that we, mother and son, should have a certain status in his heart."
"I will." An Qingran sighed and said nothing more.
Fortunately, the carriage behind caught up quickly and the guard of honor set off immediately. Dongfang Run accompanied Zhong Min'er in the carriage behind, and the journey was very smooth.
Finally, in the evening, we arrived at Prince Shou’s Mansion.
Although the Shouwang Mansion is no longer what it used to be, its grandeur is still there. Moreover, because Dongfang Run was pardoned, Lian Muhan asked Dongfang Jin for instructions and arranged a welcoming ceremony for them. Dongfang Ruoxue and several of her old friends all came to greet them at the Shouwang Mansion's door, making it much more lively than usual.
But he was a criminal after all, so he did not dare to make it public. He just held a banquet in the Prince Shou's Mansion. Everyone saw the new wife and her big belly, and couldn't help but congratulate her again.
As soon as Zhong Min'er got off the car, she was actually shocked. On the way to Beijing, she was extremely unwilling. Thinking about the various hardships she might have to endure, she hesitated a little. If the Queen had not come to greet them in person and given them enough face, she would not have dared to resist at all.
But when they arrived at Prince Shou's Mansion, they saw that although it was a little dilapidated, Lou Wanyue's slaves and maids were still there, and some were even dressed more neatly than she was. The whole mansion was elegant and every trace of its former glory and wealth was revealed. Under the high walls and bright tiles, the house was still full of the weight of history and the continuation of wealth.
In short, it was something she had never seen before.
Zhong Min'er was a little timid.
But she still held on and would never admit defeat.
Before leaving, Lou Wanyue had arranged her accommodation. She lived in the northeast of the courtyard. Originally, the Shou Prince and his wife lived there. Although they were not there now, the house was still kept clean. Zhong Miner's courtyard was in the northwest. It had been the East Palace and the West Palace since ancient times. It was fine if they were placed side by side, and if the east was the main one, Lou Wanyue felt that there was nothing wrong with her living here.
Zhong Min'er looked at the furniture in the room that shone with precious light, and nodded with satisfaction. She said to the maid Xiaoqiao, "It looks good, doesn't it?"
Xiaoqiao was staring at the jade ruyi on the wall. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Miss, do you think this is real? This is a jade ruyi that big, and the gems on it are something I have never seen before."
"That's a cat's eye stone. It's not expensive. It can just be used as a decoration." Zhong Min'er deliberately said in a light tone.
In fact, she thought that kind of gem should be hidden in a safe place, how could it be hung on the wall so blatantly? But how could she admit it?
She didn't want to admit that she was the daughter of a small family.
Xiaoqiao nodded, not quite understanding: "Oh, it turns out that it is not precious, Miss. You said that they are in decline now, but there are still such good things. If it were in the heyday, what would it be like? I'm afraid it would be paved with gold bricks and eaten with pearls and jades, right?"
"Eating pearls and swallowing jade? Is that human? Don't take advantage of others. Have you forgotten that our Zhong family is one of the most powerful in Qi Town? If we spend money on decorations, I'm afraid it will be many times more magnificent than this."
Xiaoqiao smiled and didn't answer.
Zhong Min'er sat down, holding her waist with her hands, and said with a smirk, "It's nothing, actually. Any wealthy family that's decent, every lady or lady has eight or ten servants. Look at us, we only have one middle-aged servant outside..."
"After all, this is a special pardon, and the Crown Prince is not here, how can the Crown Prince's Consort manage it alone..."
“Don’t call her the Crown Prince’s Consort!” Zhong Min’er suddenly said, “It’s fine when there are people around, but we are master and servant here, why do we have to call her so politely? It makes me angry just thinking about it. Zhong Run and I were so happy, but suddenly a woman like this fell from the sky, and she has a child… The child looks exactly like Zhong Run, it’s impossible for him to deny it…”
At this point, she touched her belly and said, "If I give birth to a boy, it's fine. But if it's a girl, she will be pressed down and can't turn over. Xiaoqiao, from now on, you should be more careful. Don't think you are still in the Zhong family. Pay attention to what they say and do. Don't let them plot against us, master and servant, and keep us in the dark."
Xiaoqiao nodded quickly: "Miss, I understand. Isn't it just a matter of seeing things? I still have some."
Zhong Min'er stroked the quilt on the bed and raised her eyebrows: "It's really good, but, it's just so-so..."
"Miss, if the prince is still as glorious as before, what should this mansion look like?" Xiaoqiao's eyes were shining and she looked like an infatuated girl.
Zhong Miner coughed lightly: "You... go down, I'm hungry, let me see how they eat here, do I have to eat with that woman..."
Xiaoqiao walked out. Zhong Miner looked at her back and snorted coldly: "What kind of hoof is this? You don't even know your own weight, humph!"
Lou Wanyue returned to her room. Looking at the things that Dongfang Jin and An Qingran had appreciated, she felt very complicated. Dongfang Xin looked left and right, grabbed the pearls and jade as toys, and tore the cloth to cover himself. In fact, he had rarely seen these things before. Thinking of this, Lou Wanyue felt a little sad. If Dongfang Run had always been there, if they were still the Shouwang clan before the incident, how could this child look like an unsophisticated person?
Fortunately, he is back now.
