Chapter 156 Going South



Some people's constitution means that even after taking medicine, they will still experience certain symptoms.

"Yes." Yun Ji hesitated, "Actually, it's alright, isn't it? She's your concubine now anyway."

Shu Chengfeng waved his hand, telling him to get up.

"Um."

Yun Ji said cautiously, "We can't have everyone fail."

"Um."

Yun scratched his head. What does this mean? Why does Your Highness seem unhappy?

Shu Chengfeng wasn't particularly unhappy, he just didn't like the feeling of being out of control.

However, even if a concubine were to become pregnant, he wouldn't feel particularly happy.

"Let's go, I'll go see her. You go to the main courtyard and tell her that I'll be there for dinner tonight."

The clouds responded.

The news of Kim Bong-yi's pregnancy didn't surprise the people in the backyard too much.

After all, she had been following His Highness around for a while, so it's not surprising that she could have a child.

However, there are indeed quite a few people who are jealous of her.

In the main courtyard, the Crown Princess didn't have any particular thoughts. What did it matter if the child born to a dancer was a boy?

It's not a lowly thing, and there are indeed too few children in the manor, so she doesn't need to bother with it.

Let's see who can't sit still in the backyard.

At the Yan family home, Yan Nanji met the people in front of Yan Lingyun and heard about the plan to send him to the army in Bailu Prefecture. He felt both sad and longing.

What's painful is that he's never experienced hardship before; he's lived a life of luxury and privilege.

It's something to aspire to, isn't it? Which young man doesn't dream of joining the army?

Fighting on the battlefield is such an exciting thing.

So, the person who came thought they wouldn't be able to persuade them and would have to put in a lot of effort. But in the end, they didn't have to put in too much effort.

After all, he didn't really start from the bottom; he was still a junior commander in charge of ten men.

However, it's impossible to live like we did at home again.

"The general said you're going to Bailu Prefecture and are not allowed to return to the capital for three years. If you don't get promoted, you're not allowed to come back after three years either. There are no cowards among the men of the Yan family," the old servant said.

“…I understand.” Yan Nanji could accept this point.

"Then please make the necessary arrangements and set off with the Second Young Mistress soon, lest it get too cold. Once you arrive, you should settle in first. The General instructed me to make the arrangements for you and then personally escort you there. Only then can I return to report."

“Alright. Then… go and see Madam Yang.” Yan Nanji said, and ordered someone to invite Madam Yang over.

When Madam Yang arrived, she greeted the old servant politely.

"Second Young Mistress, you've been wronged. The General and the Eldest Young Master and Mistress both send their regards. They say you've only been married into the family a few days, and you're already going to Bailu Prefecture to suffer. It's the Yan family's fault," the old servant said politely.

"How could that be? It's only right that we go out with the Second Young Master. There's no hardship at all, since the maids and servants are all with us anyway. It's just that we're a little unfamiliar with the place." Madam Yang was secretly pleased.

She really didn't want to deal with the old lady and the eldest princess every day.

"That's good. You can pack your things now and set off as soon as possible, lest the weather changes," the old servant said.

“Yes, then please rest. I’ll have someone arrange accommodations for you right away. The journey must have been tiring, and you’re not young anymore. You still have to come with us. I’ll get things ready first, and if there’s anything I don’t like, please let me know,” Madam Yang said hurriedly.

The old servant was pleased, thinking that even the new bride was more considerate than Yan Er.

Lan Xiangyi knew that her nephew was going out, so she hurriedly sent someone to inquire and deliver things.

The Marquis of Xinyang has completely resigned from his official post.

He didn't choose to become an official in a local area, but he might take Lan Xiangyi out for a trip next spring.

After all, their family is not short of money, so whether they become officials or not doesn't matter to them.

Anyway, my children are all successful now.

So Lan Xiangyi thought that she could go to Bailuzhou to take a look when spring came.

Although Yan Nanji was a terrible person, he still had some affection for this aunt.

They also know to exchange a few words of greeting.

Yan Nangui still sent someone to deliver some things and a few words, saying, "Take care, Second Brother."

Yan Nanji remained unconcerned, but this time she didn't say anything out of turn.

Yang's maid whispered to her, "What's wrong with the Second Young Master... Why is he so cold to Consort Yan? These days, when he goes out, Consort Yan even sends things to him from the Crown Prince's residence. Why doesn't that Meng family member care?"

In the past few days, relatives and friends have all expressed their gratitude upon learning that I am going on a long trip.

The third girl, however, ignored them.

Madam Yang sighed, "Who knows? Look at this household, no one speaks well of the eldest daughter. But no matter what, the eldest daughter and our second young master are siblings from the same mother. Those two may be affectionate when they meet, but they're still separated by the womb. But let's not talk about it too much in the future, I haven't even established my own position yet."

“Go away for a few years, and you’ll have children then,” the young girl said.

Yang nodded, blushing.

The eldest princess had no intention of stopping her at all. She had realized that now that Yan Lingyun wanted to get involved, she wouldn't be able to interfere much.

She focused all her attention on Yan Jinfei.

However, not stopping them doesn't mean ignoring them.

She naturally wanted to appeal to her maternal instincts, after all, she couldn't bear to let Yan Nanji slip out of her grasp after raising him for so many years.

So Lady Yang went to pay her respects and brought back two beautiful maids.

In fact, there have been quite a few people living in Yan Nan's household over the past few years. Although none of them have official titles, they were all arranged by the Princess.

Now that two more have been brought back, Yang was extremely unhappy, but since her mother-in-law gave them to her, how could she dare to refuse?

But she didn't dare; someone else did.

The old servant had already taken precautions, so he didn't care about the situation at the moment. Once they arrived in Bailu Prefecture, he sent the whole group back.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

At that moment, Yan Nanji was ready, and on the 20th of August, she bid farewell to the old lady and the princess and set off with Madam Yang.

The old lady put on a sad expression.

The eldest princess burst into tears.

Yan Nanji was reluctant to leave. However, she still resolutely took Yang Shi with her and went out.

He'll be gone for at least three years. In those three years, he really needs to make something of himself, otherwise... he'll have no face to show his face.

Before leaving, he didn't see Yan Jinsi, and he felt a little empty inside.

He genuinely loves his two younger sisters, so perhaps Yan Jinsi had something else to do and couldn't come.

Outside the city, Lan Xiangyi and her family were waiting.

They stopped associating with the Yan family a long time ago. They still keep in touch with the children, but they never visit the Yan family.

After all, the matriarch of the household isn't even her own sister anymore, so what's the point of her going?

Lan Xiangyi praised Yang Shi several times and gave her a set of jewelry.

“My son has been spoiled by that heartless stepmother, and you've suffered because of her. I know all that. Be smart and don't argue with her. Just understand what's going on. It's better to go out. Life may be simpler, but you'll be more comfortable making your own decisions.”

Madam Yang was deeply moved, thinking to herself that this was what true family looked like. People really can't be compared; even Yan Nanji thought her aunt was wonderful, didn't she?

The couple said goodbye to their aunt's family and headed south by car.
