That child? Where was he sent?
Mrs. Du regained consciousness. "It was sent to my wet nurse's hometown? Didn't you know that? Why are you asking again?"
"Who tried to kill you just now?"
"Who else could it be? That jinx, of course. I'll have my wet nurse's son go back to his hometown tomorrow to see if that jinx has run into any trouble. Alright, go to sleep."
After saying that, Mrs. Du lay down.
When Master Du saw that Madam Du wanted to send someone to see Feng Chan, he realized he was overthinking things. "Give her more money," he said.
"Okay, go to sleep."
"good."
Soon, Master Du fell asleep.
Mrs. Du, however, couldn't fall asleep.
If the woman they're talking about who came from the brothel really is that bastard child...
If that illegitimate child ever gains power and influence, I'll want to know who sold her to the brothel...
The next day, as soon as Mr. Du left, Mrs. Du called her wet nurse into the inner room. "Have those people been dealt with?"
The wet nurse didn't react immediately. "Miss, what are you talking about?"
"That bastard."
Why are we bringing her up? It's been so many years! "It's been dealt with."
Are you sure?
"Yes, I'm sure. Miss, what's wrong?"
Mrs. Du told the wet nurse what Mr. Du had told her. "Tell your son to go to the capital and see if what those people are saying is true. See if that woman they're talking about is that bastard child."
"Alright, this old servant will send him now."
After saying that, Mrs. Du's wet nurse quickly left.
After sending her son away, Mrs. Du's wet nurse fell into a daze. She had advised her young mistress against selling the child to a brothel, but her mistress hadn't listened. Now…
If that woman really is that child from back then, then... then they're all doomed.
Back then, many people said in private that the child looked quite lucky.
She should have advised her mistress more back then. Or perhaps she could have secretly found the child a suitable home with an ordinary farming family.
Now……
I hope the woman they're talking about isn't the child.
On the other side, Abbess Qingzhu frowned as she looked at the steamed buns and pickled vegetables on the table. "Take them away."
The young nun tried to persuade Qingzhu, but Qingzhu insisted on not eating. The young nun had no choice but to take the food away.
Soon, Old Master Qin found out. "If you don't eat, then go hungry."
Three days later, Abbess Qingzhu was too hungry to get up.
While Abbess Qingzhu was cursing Fengchan in her heart, Old Madam Qin pushed open the door and walked in, carrying a bowl of vegetable porridge.
After placing the porridge on the table, Old Madam Qin sat down beside Abbess Qingzhu's bed and said to her, "This matter concerns the prosperity of our entire family, and your father will not compromise."
Master Qingzhu remained silent.
Grandma Qin picked up a spoonful of porridge and held it to Master Qingzhu's lips. "She's ruined you like this, don't you want her to take good care of you? If you acknowledge her as your wife, you'd have to let her wash your feet."
Qingzhu opened her mouth.
Three days later, Qingzhu took the two young nuns on a journey. Their destination: the capital.
Meanwhile, Sisi and her friends were moving.
When the emperor bestowed titles and rewards upon meritorious officials, he also granted them mansions. The Yun family's mansion was next to Old Black's and Old White's. The Yun family's was in the middle, Old Black's was on the left, and Old White's was on the right.
The move was organized and directed by Sisi's eldest cousin, Yun Xiangqing.
After arranging the guards and Jiulang, Yun Xiangqing began to arrange things for the three younger ones. "Twelve, Thirteen, and Mumu, you three pack your blankets and pillows into your little boxes. Once you've packed them, tell your eldest sister, and she'll have someone load them into the car for you."
Twelve: "Alright! Thirteen, let's go help Mu Mu get ready first, then we'll get ready for you."
Thirteen: "Okay. Mu Mu, let's go."
"good."
The three guys ran off with a thud.
Sisi looked at Yun Xiangqing with a smile and asked, "Big cousin, where am I?"
Yun Xiangqing pinched Sisi's chubby cheeks. "Go sunbathe, don't cause trouble here."
"Twelve, Thirteen, and Mu Mu all have jobs."
Yun Xiangqing waved her hand. "Go away, don't cause trouble here. I have a lot of things to do."
Han Dongyu didn't come back with them; Lao Bai doesn't have a wife.
Yun Xiangqing was in charge of all three prefectures.
After the Emperor bestowed the mansions upon her, Yun Xiangqing instructed Yun Ruibo to invite some monks from Daci Temple in the outskirts of the capital to perform three Buddhist rites in the three mansions.
After the ritual was completed, Yun Xiangqing had someone calculate three auspicious days based on the birth dates and times of Yun Yuxuan, Lao Hei, and Lao Bai.
After choosing the date, Yun Xiangqing began preparing for the banquet.
Tomorrow, Sisi and the others will move to the new mansion.
Sisi made a face at Yunxiangqing and then went to watch Twelve, Thirteen, and Mumu get to work. She wanted to prevent the three of them from accidentally hurting themselves because they were too excited.
The next day, the Crown Prince arrived early. "Sixth Prince, I've come to help you."
Xiao Liu rolled her eyes. "Couldn't you have come later? If you come, the guests won't have been here for nothing."
Ning Yirong knew Sisi would say that. "Then let's go to your study and play chess."
Sisi glared at Ning Yirong. "Why are you so free?"
Ning Yirong leaned close to Sisi and whispered, "Practice makes perfect. This is nothing to me. I'm teaching my father right now, otherwise I would have finished it long ago."
Sisi glanced at Ning Yirong. "Does your father know about your scheme?"
“I told my father that I was still young, not mature enough, and prone to acting impulsively.”
I knew this guy wouldn't tell the truth. "Let's go." His presence made everyone nervous and they had to be very careful.
