The topic returned to the distribution of money. Feng Yuheng told them: "I will be honest with you. Xuan Tianming and I will not stay in the capital for long, but the business in the capital will continue, including Baicao Hall and Baicao Academy. The servants of the two mansions will make a good distribution before we leave. Those who are willing to stay can stay, and those who are unwilling to stay will have their indentures returned. As for you..." She glanced at the two of them, "Just follow me!"
The two girls looked at each other with excitement on their faces. They had guessed that Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming wanted to leave the capital city early in the morning, and even discussed in private what to do if their master didn't take them away.
They had been with Feng Yuheng for nearly six years and had long been accustomed to this lifestyle and routine, and no one wanted to leave. Now that they heard Feng Yuheng say that he would take them with him, the two were so happy that they almost cried.
Feng Yuheng said: "You will follow me, and Zirui will follow me too, so I am not worried about Zirui's future. His brother-in-law and I will definitely give him the best. But Xiangrong and Fendai are different. One day they will leave me and live their own lives. As a sister, I cannot take care of them forever, so I will try my best to leave them with more money to live on, so that they and their future children will not have to follow our old path again."
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, before dawn, Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming set out to worship Yao Xian outside the city.
This was the first time Feng Yuheng came to Yao Xian's grave after returning to Beijing. She still didn't want to believe that Yao Xian had passed away. She even thought that if her grandfather could be reborn once, he might be reborn a second time. So during the days she returned to Beijing, in addition to Yun Fei Xiangrong and Lu Ping, she also saw many patients. Especially for seriously ill patients, no matter how busy or tired she was, she would take time to see them in person. Even if they didn't invite her, as long as she heard about it, she would take the initiative to go to their homes and treat them without charging any consultation fees. Just to determine whether the other person was Yao Xian's reincarnation during the treatment process.
Unfortunately, good luck did not come to her again. Yao Xian passed away and never came back.
She and her husband knelt in front of her grandfather's grave. Her tears had dried up when the city was built. She knelt there quietly, and the scenes of Yao Xian's life flashed through her mind again and again, from the past life to the present life...
She said to Xuan Tianming: "It would be great if I could be by Grandpa's side when he passed away. I could put him in the space and he would not leave me and would not die. Moreover, with Grandpa in there, there would be a greater chance for Seventh Brother to wake up. Xuan Tianming, it turns out that things in this world are really just one step away from a thousand steps. Grandpa didn't have to die. It's all my fault..."
Yao Xian's death caused Feng Yuheng to fall into deep self-blame for several times. Xuan Tianming didn't know how to persuade her. He could only tell her over and over again: "Don't be afraid. No matter what time it is, I will always be there. I will always be there."
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month should be the day of reunion. After returning from the tomb, Feng Yuheng said, "I want to go to the Lotus Mansion. There is someone there waiting for a reunion."
"Okay." Xuan Tianming nodded, "Let's go together."
Feng Yuheng refused to go with him. She said, "The remaining one is a female family member. It will be inconvenient for you to talk if you go. It is better to go to the palace to accompany mother, or discuss the so-called Eighth Prince with Sixth Brother. Anyway, finish the things in Beijing quickly. I can't stay in this place for a day."
Xuan Tianming could understand her feelings. It was not only Feng Yuheng who was anxious, he was anxious too. The sooner Dashun settled down, the sooner he could get away. The mountains were high and the roads were long, but there was still a place waiting for him. It was his paradise, a place he fell in love with at first sight. He wanted to take his wife there to see what the most suitable place to live was.
The two of them said goodbye temporarily, Feng Yuheng took out Feng Zhaolian's urn from the space, and took the imperial carriage to the Lotus Mansion.
Ever since Feng Zhaolian left, the Lian Mansion has become quieter and quieter. Because Feng Zhaolian used to be hospitable, in the first few days, some ladies from wealthy families would come to chat and drink tea with her. After being sent away by Wu Lisheng several times, they also heard the news that Feng Zhaolian had left Beijing, and they stopped coming out of disappointment.
Wu Lisheng had never left the house. At first, she thought that if Feng Zhaolian changed her mind and didn't want to go, she would be afraid of not seeing her again if she returned to the capital. Later, she became more and more desperate until she realized that the person was no longer in the world. She became even more depressed, and the whole mansion became lifeless. When Feng Yuheng arrived, the spirit flags for Feng Zhaolian's funeral had not been taken down yet. The white flags were waving in the lotus mansion, which looked a bit creepy.
Hearing that Feng Yuheng was coming, Wu Lisheng, who rarely left her courtyard, also came to the front yard to greet her and looked at Feng Yuheng for a long time without saying a word. Finally, his eyes fell on the big jar in her hand, and tears flowed.
"I finally waited for him to come back." She said, "Even if it's in this way, as long as he comes back, it's enough." Wu Lisheng smiled bitterly at Feng Yuheng, "Thank you, husband... If His Royal Highness Prince Lian knew about this in his afterlife, he would be grateful to have a friend like you."
Feng Yuheng was stunned, "You don't call him husband anymore?"
Wu Lisheng smiled bitterly, "He has never been my husband. I have been relying on him for so many years. He has not really kicked me out of this mansion. He has already done the most." She walked forward and stretched out her hand, "Can you let me hold him? When he was alive, I was the one chasing him and he never stopped to wait for me. Now that he is gone, let me be close to him for once, okay?" Tears flowed as she spoke.
Feng Yuheng wondered, how deep can love really be? Whether it was Wu Lisheng or Feng Xiangrong, both were hurt by their loved ones. If their love could be fulfilled, could they live together forever? Or would they still separate halfway?
She handed the urn to Wu Lisheng and murmured, "My condolences."
However, Wu Lisheng burst into tears the moment he touched the jar.
Feng Yuheng didn't know how to comfort her, so he simply let her cry until she had stopped crying. Then he spoke again, "His Highness the Ninth Prince and I plan to send her back to Qianzhou and bury her next to the old prince and princess. Will you go back with us then?"
Wu Lisheng was stunned for a moment, and thought about this question seriously. After a while, she answered, "I used to think that he definitely didn't want to go back to Qianzhou. He hated that place too much. But I wasn't as thoughtful as you. Yes, he hated Qianzhou, but he missed his father and mother very much. He must be willing to go back to them and reunite with his family." She smiled bitterly, "Go back! I'll go back with you, and I'll never come back again. You and His Highness the Ninth Prince brought him back from thousands of miles away. I don't have anything to give as a token of my gratitude, so I'll give you this mansion. This mansion contains all of King Lian's wealth, and it's no longer needed. I'll only take a little, enough to bury him in Qianzhou."
Feng Yuheng shook his head, "I don't want the silver, you take it all. Since you are not coming back, I can accept this mansion, but I have to convert it into silver, and you can take it all."
Wu Lisheng waved his hand, "What do I need so much silver for? Besides, that's His Highness's money. I don't have a penny. I'm neither his wife nor his friend. There's no reason for me to take his money."
Feng Yuheng shook his head, "But you are his sister! He has always claimed that you are his sister. You have to be responsible for what you say. These are what he, as your brother, should leave for you. Don't argue with me about these. I am not short of money. If you insist on not taking it, then take it all with you. When you get to Qianzhou, repair the old prince's tomb and build a lotus mansion there. How about that?"
This time Wu Lisheng did not refuse. He nodded, hugged the urn and asked, "When are we leaving?"
"We have to wait a little longer. We have to finish dealing with the things in Beijing."
"Okay." Wu Lisheng asked her one last question, "Can I keep the ashes?" Seeing Feng Yuheng nodded, and then said nothing more, he walked towards the mansion holding the jar. Feng Yuheng only saw a lonely back and a pair of shoulders that kept shaking.
With Feng Yuheng's return to the capital, the seriously ill and dying people have hope, and Yun Fei and Xiang Rong have the motivation to live well. However, the rumors that the Eighth Prince is still alive are still surging in the dark. It's a pity that now that Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng are in the capital, the people in the capital seem to have a main support and will no longer be deceived by rumors from the outside world. Therefore, the rumors about the Eighth Prince have no effect in the capital as before.
But if it doesn't work in Beijing, it doesn't mean it won't work in other provinces. Those who are interested also know this, so gradually they focus all their attention on other provinces.
When General Pingnan talked about this, he seemed a little overwhelmed. He said, "I am old. I was quite old when I gave birth to Taoer and Fenger. Even now that you are still young, I can't even go to the battlefield. The current situation is turbulent, the emperor is old, and the Ninth Prince has obviously no interest in government affairs after pacifying the four directions. I just don't know if the Sixth Prince has enough courage to stabilize the four seas."
At that time, Lv Ping was completely fine. Her spotting in the early stages of pregnancy was actually caused by low progesterone according to later medical theories. Feng Yuheng had prepared a lot of progesterone capsules in Baicaotang, but she had been away from Beijing for too long and the medicine was sold out. Lv Ping missed the early progesterone supplement, and when Feng Yuheng came back, she could only rely on injections to supplement it. Fortunately, this was not a big deal, and the placenta had gradually formed. Lv Ping survived the dangerous period of the first four months, and the fetal condition finally stabilized.
In order to express their gratitude to Feng Yuheng, the Pingnan General's Mansion sent many gifts to the Yuwang Mansion. Who would have thought that within two days, a return gift twice as heavy as theirs was sent back, and it was personally delivered by Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng. Xuan Tianming said: "The old general's legitimate son got married, and I should have brought my wife to congratulate him. Unfortunately, I was fighting in the East Territory at the time, and I was too busy to do it. I hope the old general will not blame me."
General Pingnan didn't dare to blame him, but he was too ashamed to accept this gift. Feng Yuheng saved the baby in Lu Ping's belly with his miraculous hands and told him that it was a boy. He was grateful. Now that the two of them came, he simply held a banquet. First, to celebrate the safety of his grandson, second, to welcome Xuan Tianming and the two, and third, Ren Xifeng and Feng Yuheng had such a good relationship, and Lu Ping also had some friendship with Feng Yuheng before marriage, so it was just a gathering of friends. The capital, which had been dull for so long, should have some happy events.
Speaking of happy events, the first big happy event after the first month of the lunar year was the marriage of the fifth prince. For this reason, both Prince Li's mansion and Feng Fendai's courtyard had been busy since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and until the night of the ninth day of the third lunar month, everything finally came to light...
