Chapter 492 Su Jingshu Returns to the Capital
The prefect looked at the token and knew it wasn't fake.
The news of the Prince of Zhenbei finding his daughter caused a great stir in the capital.
The prefect was stunned when he saw the assassins brought over by the guards of the Prince's mansion. He was very familiar with these people; they were actually the younger brother of his concubine and the guards from his concubine's courtyard.
The prefectural government office wasn't far from the Wen family's residence, and he had just heard about the farce that had happened at the Wen family's place.
Now there's nothing he doesn't understand; although he usually dotes on Zhao Yunlan.
But if he had to choose between a concubine and his official position, he would definitely choose the latter.
Zhao Chuanbao was thrown into prison, and Zhao Yunlan was divorced and sent back to the Zhao family.
Although Mu Cheng'an's engagement banquet was a bit thrilling, it was eventually completed smoothly.
Although Zhao Chuanbao went to jail, his gentle reputation was somewhat affected.
To prevent Wenrou from hearing gossip she shouldn't, Yunfei took Wenrou to Suzhou immediately after the engagement.
...............
Five years later, in Yunlu City.
Today is the day Su Jingshu and Ning Bao return to the capital, and Zhou Mingxin is here to pick them up.
For the past few years, Zhou Mingxin has been staying at the Prince's Mansion in the capital. Recently, Zhou Chengxing was summoned back to the capital, and the Zhenbei Army is now under the command of the heir apparent, Zhou Mingcheng.
Ningbao is already 15 years old, and Zhou Mingcheng and Zhou Mingxin are already in their twenties, but they are still not married.
Su Jingshu's main purpose in returning to Beijing this time was to arrange marriages for her children.
Mu Chengju, Lin Zhiwei, Mu Chengrong, and Shen Sikang also returned to Beijing together.
Mu Chengju and the others are already successful candidates in the provincial examinations. They came to the capital this time to participate in the metropolitan examination in February next year.
Mu Cheng'an, one of the Mu family's children, officially dropped out of school to go into business after passing the imperial examination three years ago, and has since married and had children.
Mu Chengle also joined the army three years ago.
Mu Chengye has not participated in the provincial examination since he passed the county-level examination six years ago.
He will participate in the provincial examination, having just turned sixteen this year.
The much older Mu Dasheng and Li Guizhi held Ning Bao's hand, deeply saddened. Ning Bao, looking at the two elderly people, was also reluctant to part.
"Maybe I shouldn't go; I'll stay home with my grandparents."
Upon hearing Ning Bao say she wasn't going, Mu Dasheng and Li Guizhi quickly let go of her hand. Mu Dasheng straightened up and looked at Ning Bao with a serious expression.
“Ningbao, you can’t say something silly. How can you not go?”
You are a princess, isn't it only natural for a princess to return to the royal palace?
You said you'd come pick us up after you bought a house in Beijing.
If you don't go, who will pick us up and take us to the capital to see the world?
Mu Dasheng didn't want Ningbao to leave either, but he knew that when Ningbao grew up, the Prince's Mansion in the capital would definitely find her a good family.
If we let her stay in Chuyun Village, she'll only be able to find a job as a farmer or merchant in the future.
With the elderly couple's reluctant gazes, Ningbao boarded the carriage.
The moment the carriage curtain closed, Ningbao's tears flowed down her cheeks.
Su Jingshu gently wiped away Ningbao's tears.
“Mother has several residences in the capital, and can easily invite them to live with her. Moreover, if they wish, they can also stay at the Prince’s Mansion.”
Ningbao wiped away her tears and shook her head.
"Mom, I know you mean well, but my parents and grandparents just don't want to trouble me."
Moreover, they are used to living in the village and would feel uncomfortable in the palace.
Don't worry, Mother, Ningbao is fine. Once we get to the capital, I will definitely buy a house as soon as possible and then bring them here.
They probably wouldn't have come before, but things are different now. My second and fourth brothers will have better opportunities in Beijing.
Su Jingshu nodded. She remembered what Zhou Chengxing had told her about the Xue family. If nothing unexpected happened, the Xue family's case would be resolved this year.
