"Yes, Nanshan Villa has been transferred to Madam's name." Pang Yi said.
"That's good," Zhong Mingwei nodded. Looking at the jasmine flowers stuck together at the bottom of the cup, he said, "Find a reliable bank. Deposit her 8,000 taels of silver."
"Yes, I obey your command." Pang Yi nodded in agreement. After a pause, he said, "Sir, have you really made up your mind?"
Zhong Mingwei did not answer, and continued to sit with his shoulders drooped. A ray of sunlight shone in through the hole in the window. The sunlight was blinding. Zhong Mingwei suddenly closed his eyes, but he turned around unconsciously and stared at the hole. But he didn't have time to stare for long. The carpenter outside had already removed the window in a few moves. The room suddenly became bright, and even Pang Yi was so busy that he covered his eyes.
"In a few days, I will write a letter and you can personally deliver it to the Queen Mother." Zhong Mingwei turned around and said to Pang Yi in a deep voice, "I have been disabled for more than a year. My leg has not improved. It is obvious that Ningguta is not a place to recuperate. Let the Queen Mother ask my father to allow me to return to Beijing to recuperate."
"Master!" Pang Yi's eyes widened in shock. He was speechless for a long time. After a while, he finally reacted. Then he hurriedly approached Zhong Mingwei and said in a low voice, "Master, how can you go back to the capital? What is the attitude of the emperor towards you? He is really cruel enough to want you to die! Now that you are in Ningguta, it's fine if he can't see you, but why are you so eager to send yourself back to the capital? Even if the emperor listens to the empress dowager's advice and really allows you to return to the capital, what is waiting for you? Will you be imprisoned for life? Will you be sent to the clan house again? Or will your head and body be separated? Master! You have to think it through!"
Yes, if Zhong Zhiheng could be cruel once, he could be cruel the second time. If Zhong Mingwei really returned to the capital, the best outcome would be lifelong imprisonment. This was when the Queen Mother was alive. If the Queen Mother was no longer alive, what would Zhong Mingwei be like? Pang Yi didn't dare to think further. He felt that Zhong Mingwei was really crazy. If he wasn't crazy, why would he think of returning to the capital?
"I've thought it through very clearly," Zhong Mingwei said slowly, "My father will never let me move. Apart from the capital, I have nowhere else to go."
"Then why do you have to go back?" Pang Yi didn't know what to say. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anxiety in his heart, and patiently said to Zhong Mingwei, "Master, you have been in Ningguta for a whole year. It's not easy for the forces of all parties to be balanced. The capital is no longer paying attention to you. You can finally live more freely. In the future, as long as you are in Ningguta, as long as there is no big chaos, you can live in peace. Besides, your leg, with Mr. Gu taking care of it all the time, it will be a matter of time for it to recover to normal. Why do you have to go back to the capital?"
Against the light, Pang Yi couldn't see the expression on Zhong Mingwei's face. He just listened to him saying slowly, "If I stay in Ningguta, she will never have a peaceful life."
Pang Yi was stunned immediately. He naturally knew who Zhong Mingwei was talking about, so he was speechless for a moment.
Zhong Mingwei was right. If he stayed in Ningguta, Mei Ya would never live a peaceful life. Mei Ya was sentimental and nostalgic, so even if she saw Xiao An coming to her house, she still couldn't let go of Zhong Mingwei. Otherwise, she wouldn't have sneaked up the mountain in the middle of the night to bring her a bowl of zongzi. Now, Zhong Mingwei had made up his mind to break up with Mei Ya, but just replacing the door and installing new windows was not enough. So, he absolutely couldn't stay in Ningguta, absolutely not.
"Master," Pang Yi took a deep breath and sat on the edge of the kang. He looked at the silent Zhong Mingwei, his heart aching. He took another breath and then said, "If possible... can you send Madam out of Ningguta? The world is so big, there will always be a place for Madam to stay. Madam will always... always forget Ningguta."
"Forget it. She has spent more than ten years in the palace and has seen the square sky for more than ten years. Now she has finally left the palace and is living a free life. Don't bother her." Zhong Mingwei thought of how cautious Mei Ya was when they first met. He couldn't help but curl his lips. His eyes fell on a wooden comb on the windowsill. After a pause, Zhong Mingwei said slowly, "She likes it here, so let her live here well. After all, this is all I can do for her."
