"My Lord, I want to go back home."
When they were almost at the Marquis' Mansion, Yun Wanrou looked up at Jiang Huaishu.
Jiang Huaishu's mind is not here at all.
Hearing Yun Wanrou's words, he just responded faintly.
"Well, we're almost home."
"I mean, I want to go back to the Grand Tutor's Mansion."
"Hmm?" Jiang Huaishu was pulled back to his senses by her words: "Why do you suddenly want to go back?"
"Dad brought my brothers to visit me before and asked me to take Yangyang back to stay for a few days after I finished my confinement. I agreed."
"Dad is here, why didn't you tell me? And you agreed without my permission... without my permission!"
Jiang Huaishu frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.
Yun Xiucheng is the Grand Tutor.
Although he no longer asks about the affairs of the court.
But his disciples are spread across the government and the country.
It is completely different from the superficial appearance of the Marquis' Mansion.
He wanted to rely on the Grand Tutor's position in the court to restore the Marquis' Mansion to its former glory.
We must maintain a face-saving relationship with the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
Yun Wanrou returned to her parents' home as soon as she finished her confinement.
If this matter were to get out, people who didn't know would probably think that something had gone wrong in his marriage to Yun Wanrou.
This has an impact on both him and the Marquis's Mansion.
"The Marquis has been busy lately and has not been seen often. You happened to be away the day my father and brothers came. My father and brothers just missed me and asked me to go back and stay for a few days. It's not a big deal, so I agreed."
Yun Wanrou looked at him with a calm expression.
I don't think there is anything wrong with what I did.
Seeing that Yun Wanrou was determined, there was no room for negotiation.
Jiang Huaishu's eyes turned and he held her hand.
"I know you miss home. Ah Rou, wait for me for two more days. When I'm done, I'll go back with you."
Yun Wanrou raised the corner of her mouth slightly and pulled her hand out.
"My Lord, you don't have to worry about me. I can go back by myself."
"How can that be!" Jiang Huaishu refused to give in. "When Dad came, I wasn't by your side. Now you want to go back, and I won't accompany you. How do you think Dad will look at me?"
"My Lord..."
"Okay, it's settled. Wait for me for two more days, and I'll go back to the Grand Tutor's Mansion with you."
Jiang Huaishu interrupted Yun Wanrou and patted her hands gently.
He hadn't seen the Grand Tutor for a long time.
I should indeed take some time to visit him at his house and reminisce about the past.
Ask him for help and win over some connections in the court.
"Madam, we have arrived at the Marquis' Mansion!"
The carriage stopped outside the Marquis's mansion.
Wangshu's voice came slowly from outside.
Yun Wanrou stood up holding Yangyang and just got off the carriage.
Jiang Huaishu poked his head out from the carriage.
"Arou, I still have some things to deal with, you go back first."
"good!"
Yun Wanrou nodded and followed Wangshu into the marquis's mansion.
Yangyang glanced back.
Seeing the carriage change direction, he secretly complained.
[What important matter? It's just to go find a mistress. They thought their plan was perfect and could deceive my mother. They didn't even see how smart my mother was. She saw through their tricks at a glance.]
[It's a pity that the mistress wasn't cruel enough to me, and her self-torture trick wasn't realistic. Otherwise, it would be so cool to let her get beaten by the thugs until her skin was torn and flesh was exposed! ]
When I thought of that concubine, she was beaten all over and couldn't enter the marquis's mansion as she wished.
Yangyang was very happy in her heart.
Yun Wanrou carried her back to the room.
I saw her close her eyes and fall into a deep sleep.
There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Fortunately, she has Yangyang.
If she hadn't reminded her, she would have fallen into their trap today.
Yangyang is so young, but he is so sensible and sees things more clearly than her.
She must have been sent by God to save her!
In the alley.
Chuqiu opened the door and welcomed Jiang Huaishu in.
When Jiang Huaishu saw that she had indeed returned, his brows furrowed in displeasure.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't we agree in advance that you would be brought to the Marquis' Mansion? Why did you leave suddenly?"
"It was not me who wanted to leave, it was your good wife who drove me away."
Chuqiu closed the door and followed Jiang Huaishu inside.
In order to enter the Marquis' Mansion today, she even resorted to the tactic of self-torture, but her wish was still unfulfilled.
She felt aggrieved after being whipped for nothing.
Before she had the chance to complain to him, he turned around and blamed her!
The more Chuqiu thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
She couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears.
"My Lord, how come your wife said something completely different than what you said? You don't know what she said to me when you were away!"
"What did she tell you?"
Jiang Huaishu came to the wooden table and sat down, looking at her curiously.
Thinking about Yun Wanrou today, she was indeed a little abnormal.
He couldn't help but wonder if she had seen through something.
Under his gaze, Chu Qiu took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.
"She said she would not let a prostitute enter the mansion. If I insist on following you into the mansion, that would be... repaying kindness with enmity!"
The more Chuqiu spoke, the more aggrieved she felt.
At the end of the sentence, his voice became choked with sobs.
Is it her choice whether to enter a brothel or not?
She is a weak woman. If she doesn't go to the brothel, how will she make a living?
Yun Wanrou looked down on her background so much, it was just that she was lucky and was born into a good family.
Apart from her nobler birth than hers, what other abilities does Yun Wanrou have?
What qualifications does she have to be so arrogant in front of her?
Although Chu Qiu was unwilling in her heart, she maintained a pitiful look on her face.
She threw away her handkerchief and took Jiang Huaishu's arm.
"My Lord, our plan has failed. What should we do next?"
"Arou has always considered the overall situation. She didn't let you enter the Marquis' Mansion because she cared about the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion. I neglected this matter. Let's discuss it in detail."
Jiang Huaishu sighed, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Although today's plan failed, he was relieved to know that Yun Wanrou did not agree with Chu Qiu entering the Marquis' Mansion, not because she saw through their plan, but because she was thinking about the Marquis' Mansion.
Seeing that he didn't feel sorry for her, he spoke up for Yun Wanrou instead.
Chu Qiu let go of his arm and snorted in displeasure.
"I'm injured, but the Marquis doesn't care about me. Look at all the injuries on my body..."
Chuqiu pulled down her collar, revealing her shoulders.
The whip wounds were just a few red marks with some broken skin.
Jiang Huaishu raised his hand and helped her tidy up her clothes.
"Okay, don't be angry. I promise you that your injury today will not be in vain. I will also find a way to bring you back to the Marquis' Mansion."
"when?"
Chu Qiu looked at him, her eyes brightening.
Jiang Huaishu brushed her hair behind her ears and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, wait for me patiently for a while. I will first find a way to adopt the children to her name, and then come to take you home!"
After hearing Jiang Huaishu’s words, Chuqiu stopped crying.
Adopting a child is indeed more important than taking her back to the Marquis' Mansion.
As long as Chen'er and Xing'er become legitimate sons and daughters, she will be a mother with status as her sons, so why would she be afraid of not being able to enter the Marquis' Mansion?
If you wait for too long, there’s no way you can enter the marquis’s mansion.
Even if it is the seat of the mistress of a marquis's family, Yun Wanrou has to give it to her!
