Chapter 485 Side Story: Winter Wheat and Yun Niang (Part 8)
Aunt Xin didn't want to leave, but Dongmai pushed her into the tunnel.
"Take good care of the young master and the old lady."
My wife and I will come to visit you later.
"You're all doing well in the North." After saying this, Dongmai pushed Aunt Xin into the tunnel.
Aunt Xin wiped away her tears as she helped the old lady walk towards the other end of the tunnel.
She will definitely be able to take good care of the young masters and the old lady.
She had taken all her silver notes and valuable pearls and gems with her.
Once they arrived in the north, they relied on these things to support the old lady and her young masters.
The remaining silver...
Looking for assassins in the martial arts world.
If Madam and Dongmai are alright, they will escort them to the North.
If something happens to Madam and Dongmai...
This silver is the money to avenge the lady and Dongmai...
For the first time, the kind-hearted Aunt Xin had the thought of killing someone.
Fortunately, it was a close call.
Just as the group emerged from the tunnel, they encountered Marquis Changsheng and his entourage, who were rushing back to the capital to provide reinforcements...
No one could have predicted that the Seventh Prince would ultimately emerge as the biggest winner in that palace coup.
The Empress Dowager, the Duke of Anguo, the Empress, the Imperial Concubine, the Consort Die, and even the Eighth Prince who was still an infant—all of them are dead...
I heard that blood flowed like a river in the palace...
All the original Imperial Guards are dead...
Even the imperial family was poisoned.
The King of Qin was imprisoned, the Crown Prince was deposed, and in the end, only the Seventh Prince remained, who ascended the throne with the support of the Marquis of Changsheng, who held considerable military power...
The crisis at the Duke of Dingguo's mansion has finally been resolved...
Aunt Xin, who had originally planned to seek revenge on assassins in the martial arts world, also quieted down.
Aunt Xin told herself this more than once.
It turns out that good people really do get good rewards; the lady and Dongmai are a perfect example...
And then...
The seventh prince has ascended the throne, and it seems that the lady and Dongmai have nothing to do.
To Aunt Xin's surprise, the Duke, who should have been lying in his coffin, actually returned.
That wasn't all. What surprised Aunt Xin the most was that she didn't recognize the Duke who had come back to life.
Her first thought was, "Why is there a man in the lady's courtyard?"
No, I must stand guard at the courtyard gate and not let the maids and servants in...
Later, with the explanation from winter wheat.
Aunt Xin finally found out who that person was?
So it was the Duke I'd always wanted to sleep with but never got to...
How strange, how come I didn't recognize myself!
Dongmai carefully explained to Aunt Xin why the Duke was here now.
They even talked about how difficult things had been for the Duke all these years...
When it came to how much suffering the Duke had endured outside, Aunt Xin felt nothing.
You're a grown man, a former commander of the Weiyuan Army, what's wrong with suffering a little outside?
It would have been better if you had just endured hardship outside; why did you have to come back and disturb our happy life...?
However, when Dongmai mentioned that the Duke of Dingguo had a difficult time, Aunt Xin refuted Dongmai for the first time.
"How is it not difficult for him?"
He's out there eating his fill all by himself, so his whole family isn't hungry!
The lady also had to manage the affairs of a mansion while in the capital.
The lady is truly having a tough time! What's this called?
"We must proceed with extreme caution, as if walking on thin ice!" Aunt Xin said solemnly.
Winter wheat, unsure how to respond to a rebuttal for the first time...
Hey! Do you remember that you were also the concubine of the Duke of Dingguo?
Although he was not favored...
It's also because Aunt Xin doesn't like the Duke anymore. When the Madam and the Duke went out to travel, they only took Dongmai with them and not Aunt Xin.
Aunt Xin was actually very happy.
She told Dongmai that she would definitely take good care of the household's property for Dongmai...
Dongmai went away with that couple for almost a year.
Throughout the year, whenever Dongmai arrived at a new place, she would write to Aunt Xin to tell her about the fun things to do there.
Then, send a portion of all the fun, delicious, and long-lasting local items back to Aunt Xin.
Since we're using official post stations, we're not worried about losing our belongings.
Aunt Xin would also write a letter to the next post station they were going to after receiving those things.
Tell Dongmai to play outside without worry, and that everything is normal at home.
If you need money, you must go to the Ye family's bank to withdraw it...
Now she's rich and can support everyone...
Every time Dongmai received a letter from Aunt Xin, she would beam with joy.
"What are you laughing at? You're acting like a little fool!"
"I'm laughing at that silly girl, Yunniang!"
"They were worried we wouldn't have enough money to spend while we were out there!" Dongmai boasted to her young mistress.
"You two are both silly!" Shangguan Jin said with a smile.
Winter wheat proudly raised its head.
"We're not being stupid!"
We are wise in our apparent foolishness! They say fools have good fortune!
"Miss, sometimes it's better to be a little silly!" Dongmai said with a smile.
Shangguan Jin smiled and patted Dongmai's hand.
"You guys are all silly! So adorably silly!"
