Chapter 313: Departure Today



After returning to the general's mansion, the two were temporarily arranged to live in the courtyard where Mrs. Xing originally lived - Huanyun Courtyard.

Because of Empress Guo's warning, the two of them kept to their duties and did not dare to cause trouble. They just waited to go south to Nanjing City, so there was no big problem.

It was just that the eldest sister-in-law Liu, the eighth sister Xue Niang and the fourth aunt were inevitably a little surprised when they heard the news, but when they thought about their current status and felt that it was already a good ending, they felt they could accept it.

"Grandmother is very clever, otherwise the general would have come into conflict with His Majesty."

Du Jingyi still feels a little scared when she thinks about it now. Although she has never heard that the emperor likes to slaughter his subjects, it is not a good thing to anger the king of a country.

Therefore, she still felt that her husband was a little too impulsive, but when she thought that this impulse was also for her, she was very touched.

Shang Ji didn't say much, but just held her hand tightly. When he looked at Du Jingyi, his eyes were quite firm. Everyone present knew what was going on.

"Okay, let's get ready quickly and leave first. Otherwise, who knows when two more maids will be sent over. There won't be so many sister-in-laws to arrange this time."

The fourth aunt spoke frankly, and everyone thought it made sense, so they started to make arrangements. Shang Ji was the first to respond.

"My wife and I have almost prepared everything we need, and we can set off tomorrow."

His original plan was to leave the day after tomorrow, but now, he couldn't wait to leave.

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu nodded and said to her grandson Shang Ji.

"Then let's set off tomorrow. We have already packed our luggage and are waiting for you to come back."

"Yes, Grandma!"

On this day, because all the masters of the general's mansion would leave the next day, the servants were very busy.

Butler He and Madam Dou naturally had to stay to handle the affairs of the General's Mansion, and Du Jingyi also left Madam Cai in Xitang Courtyard.

Firstly, she was getting a bit old, and going back and forth like this might not be a good thing. Secondly, she needed someone she could trust to guard the gate of Xitang Courtyard, so after thinking it over, she decided to let her stay.

Du Jingyi took away four main maids and several of her capable people, including old women and servants. All of them were happy that they could follow their mistress to the Gu family in Jinling City.

On this day, no one was idle, with things that needed to be loaded being loaded and things that needed to be prepared being prepared.

Early the next morning, the carriage in front of the general's mansion set off.

When they came from Jinling City, there were only more than ten vehicles, but when they left, there were twenty or thirty vehicles. The amount of luggage was so large that it made people jealous.

But no one dared to make any rash decisions, because the luggage was guarded by the serious-looking Tiger Guards.

There were more than 300 people in the group, all of them were very agile. Anyone who saw them would say they were so awe-inspiring.

In front of the general's mansion, everyone said goodbye to each other.

Although eldest sister-in-law Liu and eighth sister Xue Niang were reluctant to let them go, they also knew the purpose of their trip, so they saw them off with a smile.

"When you get married, grandma won't be able to come, but everything has been prepared for you. Just go ahead and marry. Even if you are in Jinling City, grandma will pray for you day and night."

"Grandma, don't worry about me all the time. Xue Niang will take good care of herself. Don't worry."

Old Madam Gu smiled faintly as she looked at her granddaughter who looked so much like her daughter. She was genuinely happy in her heart. At least her current ending was much better than her daughter's.

After marrying into the Guo family, she has her grandmother and mother-in-law to take care of her, and her husband to be considerate of her. She doesn't have to take care of household affairs and can just live a good life.

Therefore, Old Madam Gu was really relieved, so she turned to give instructions to her eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu.

"You have been taking care of them for so many years. It has been hard for you. I am afraid you will have to shoulder this responsibility in the future and take better care of them."

"Don't worry, grandma, your granddaughter-in-law knows."

He patted her hand behind her back, turned and walked down the stairs. He waved his hand before getting on the carriage and said.

"It's so cold, everyone should go back. There's no need to see you off."

Eldest sister-in-law Liu and eighth sister Xue Niang nodded, but Keren still stood at the door.

Du Jingyi divided half of the female guard team and left them to the two of them, repeatedly instructing them.

"Now that the general is not here, I'm afraid the people in the Duke's Mansion will deliberately make things difficult for you, so don't go to the banquet if you can avoid it. Even if you must go, you'd better inform the Guo family first."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will keep an eye on this house for you and will never let anyone step on the reputation of the General's Mansion to get ahead."

My eldest sister-in-law Liu does have the courage to do so, but I don’t know if she can really achieve her wish in the future.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

In the west courtyard, Shang Ji also left behind a personal guard of more than fifty people, nominally to guard the house, but in fact to protect the two of them, so it really seemed like this general's mansion was an iron wall from any angle.

Finally, everyone got on the carriages. Shang Ji sat astride his black horse, followed by Luo Yuan, who was also very majestic. Then the group headed out of the city.

The eldest sister-in-law Liu and the eighth sister Xue Niang waved until they could no longer see the group of people clearly. Then they wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, returned home, and lived their own lives behind closed doors.

The wind was cold outside the city, and the carriages and horses were not moving fast because they had to consider the old and young in the family.

The one Du Jingyi was riding on was specially widened a lot and padded with a thick fur mattress to make it easier for Tai Ge'er to climb on.

At his age now, he is just in the stage of being naughty. I thought he would be a little uncomfortable on the road, after all, the carriage was bumpy most of the time.

Unexpectedly, he was so comfortable that he climbed onto Du Jingyi to sit, then onto wet nurse Fu to jump. He seemed very happy.

Looking at his increasingly round face, Du Jingyi said with a smile.

"Has our Tai brother grown fatter again? How come we could still see his neck two days ago, but now there is nothing at all? I see his clothes are a size smaller too."

Upon hearing this, wet nurse Fu replied.

"My brother has gained some weight, and it feels a little heavy when I hold him in my arms. However, this dress is not too small. It is because I put two more pieces of clothing inside for him, so it looks a little tight, but it is actually okay."

After listening to wet nurse Fu's explanation, Du Jingyi nodded and said nothing more.

Du Jingyi recognized her attentiveness and patience, so he didn't question her too much about taking care of the children, as long as it was for Tai Ge'er's good.

Tai Ge'er is now holding the toy in his hand, playing with it carefully, showing his two little white teeth from time to time, looking very interesting and innocent.

Du Jingyi's motherly love overflowed, and her eyes were mostly filled with kindness.

Tai Ge'er seemed to have felt the warmth as well. He looked up and smiled gently at Du Jingyi.
