Chapter 149 I am also a pedestrian



Wang Yanzhou sighed and said, "I know you like to play and make trouble, but don't overdo it."

What do you mean by "don't go too far"? Tang Chen didn't want to go on like this at the moment. Whoever loved someone in this life could let it go. Anyway, they hadn't been officially engaged or married yet, just like a boyfriend and girlfriend who hadn't gotten a marriage certificate. They could love each other but not each other!

Tang Chen quickly packed up her belongings and valuables, then headed straight to Pipa Lane with a large bag. Seeing her carrying so many bags like she was moving, Hei Ya asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you moving or going on a long trip?"

After Tang Chen glanced at Hei Ya, he grabbed Xihe and said, "Xihe, pack up and let's run away from home!"

"Hmm? Have you asked me what I think about taking Xihe away from home?"

Tang Chen slammed the table and said, "Alright, the three of us can run away from home, okay? Wang Yanzhou actually accused me of bullying Shangguan Bing'er, how could I possibly do that!"

After Hei Ya signaled Tang Chen to calm down first, he said, "Let me analyze it for you. Miss Shangguan looks so pitiful that any man would not have the heart to ask any more questions."

Tang Chen snorted coldly and asked, "You're a man too, are you like this?"

Black Crow sighed deeply and said, "Alas, luckily we have the fairy Xihe in our family, otherwise I might have believed it a little bit. Besides, weren't we discovered when we were following him that day? I'm afraid Wang Yanzhou has a memory of you and can't help but think of you."

In the end, Wang Yanzhou was suspicious of her. She didn't want to explain at all. He couldn't see through her tricks right under his nose. Who would believe her? "What a waste! Let's go, let's go to the town and stay for a few days. I can't stand it anymore!"

As Tang Chen finished speaking, Xihe took his bottles and jars and said calmly, "I'm packed and ready to go."

"Fuck, boss, your speed is unmatched. Okay, let's go now!"

At the palace, Tang Chen was clamoring, and he and Hei Ya and Xi He went down the mountain to the town. Meanwhile, Yan Shaoqing, who had nothing better to do while traveling, remembered that Yue Sheng had given him a note with an address written on it. He wondered if it contained something hidden, so he decided to go look for it.

The tide of spring has swept across the land, and the mountains and fields are already ablaze with blossoms. Yan Shaoqing walks along the mountain path, leaning on a wooden stick, admiring the scenery while following the wisp of smoke rising slowly from the mountain.

The last puzzle Yue Sheng had given him was within the mountain nunnery before him. Arriving at the place, Yan Shaoqing hesitated for a long time before slowly knocking on the copper-green doorknocker.

The nun in the nunnery heard the knock on the door and soon opened it halfway: "Benefactor, is there anything I can do for you?"

Yan Shaoqing bowed slightly and said, "I happened to be passing by here and wanted to ask for a drink of water."

The nun looked at the dusty young man in front of her, and without closing the door, she turned around and called into the house, asking someone to bring some water.

Yan Shaoqing was really thinking about what Yue Sheng wanted him to do in this place when someone in the house came out with a bowl of water. The moment the bowl fell to the ground, it startled several people and their eyes rippled.

Yan Shaoqing looked at the gray-haired old woman in front of him and was completely stunned: "......!"

Old Lady Yan's cloudy eyes were filled with tears. She had dreamed of the scene of meeting Yan Shaoqing again more than once. This dream was so real that she reached out to touch her grandson's hands in her dream, but she stopped in mid-air: "Shao, Shaoqing!"

Yan Shaoqing grabbed Old Lady Yan's hand and knelt on the ground excitedly: "Grandma, you are not dead!"

When she was sure that the person before her was not an untouchable dream, Old Lady Yan slowly knelt on the ground and stroked Yan Shaoqing's face with trembling hands: "You, your father, is he okay?"

The person who just opened the door was the owner of the nunnery. He was very happy to see the grandfather and grandson acquaintance. Thinking that he didn't want to disturb them after a long separation, he quietly returned to the nunnery, picked up the broom, and gently swept the petals blown down by the wind on the ground.

Yan Shaoqing shook his head and said, "Father defected to the enemy and betrayed the country. The General's Mansion has already..."

Old Madam Yan had anticipated all of this from the day Yue Sheng sent her here, but she never expected that this time, her son would still choose to betray her: "Forget it, forget it. It's all Grandma's fault. I couldn't stop your father back then and even allowed it to happen. All of this is my fault. I've only implicated you, my poor child!"

Yan Shaoqing leaned on Old Lady Yan's shoulder, tears streaming down his face, as if taking away all the past. "Shaoqing is doing very well, really very well."

After Old Lady Yan calmed herself down, she looked behind Yan Shaoqing for a long time: "...Where is Master Yue? Why didn't he come with you?"

Yan Shaoqing paused for a moment before saying, "She's doing well too. Shaoqing is out traveling, and she's waiting for me at Huayue Tower."

Old Lady Yan nodded and said, "Alas, she is a good girl. We are the ones who have wronged her. You must treat her well."

Yan Shaoqing carefully helped Old Lady Yan up and said, "Grandma, Shaoqing will take you away."

Old Lady Yan looked back at the nunnery abbot who was cleaning the courtyard and gently patted the back of Yan Shaoqing's hand: "No, this place is fine. Grandmother wants to stay here to atone for all her past sins."

Yan Shaoqing pondered for a moment, realizing he had no place to stay. Since Old Lady Yan didn't want to leave for the time being, it was fine. She wouldn't have to suffer with him, and he didn't want her to see his current miserable state.

There was still a lot of time, and he believed that with his own abilities, even if he couldn't repeat the former glory of the General's Mansion, he would definitely allow Old Lady Yan to spend her later years in peace and contentment: "...Grandma, I promise you, I will definitely bring my father to see you."

"Okay, Grandma, wait."

...After Tang Chen and his companions quickly descended the mountain from the secret passage and arrived in town, Zhong Qin and Butler Wang, upon receiving the news, immediately rushed to Wang Yanzhou to "confess their guilt": "Master, you have wronged the Madam. Everything that has happened in the past few days has nothing to do with her. Many things were also our own decisions."

Wang Yanzhou put down the book in his hand and squinted his eyes at the person in front of him, with a slight smile on his face: "Haha, I'm not yet in my seventies or eighties, and my mind is still not confused."

"Then this..." As he spoke, Shopkeeper Wang looked at Zhong Qin with some confusion. After hearing what Wang Yanzhou said, Zhong Qin's expression instantly became serious.

Wang Yanzhou picked up the book and instructed, "Make arrangements and do what needs to be done. Don't let Ah Chen's departure affect everyone's work."

The two answered in unison: "Yes."
