Chapter 471: Plan to Return to the City with the Mu Family Carriage
At two o'clock in the morning, Song Yu opened her eyes and saw Nanny Wen looking at her kindly, "Miss, do you want to sleep a little longer? It's still early."
After saying this, Nanny Wen smiled and moved aside to open the cloth covering the table, revealing the steaming hot breakfast that was both delicious and fragrant.
Song Yu suddenly sat up from the bed, "Madam Wen, you clearly don't want me to continue sleeping. You want to wake me up with delicious food."
Nanny Wen smiled. "Of course not. Nanny wants you to sleep well, but she also doesn't want you to go hungry. Come and eat. The hot water is ready. After you finish eating, wash up properly."
"Hmm." Song Yu took the tea handed to him by Nanny Wen, rinsed his mouth, and then started to eat with relish.
"A Si left the village before dawn?"
"Yes, they should be on their way back by this time."
Upon hearing this, Song Yu sped up his eating speed, and it took him half an hour to shower and wash up.
There was no change of clothes in the manor, so Nanny Wen brought her a brand new set of second-class maid's clothes and said, "Miss, these are new clothes that were just made for the three maids in the manor a few days ago. You can wear them first. You can change into them in the afternoon when the young lady's clothes are dry."
Song Yu looked at the clothes in front of her and had an idea. "Madam Wen, does the farm have any rouge or powder?"
“Yes, but the quality is average.”
"It's okay, just bring it here first."
Nanny Wen left the room and Song Yu picked up her clothes and changed into them.
Yunyan came out from next door and saw Zhang Feng standing guard outside the gate with a fierce look on his face. Yunyan called out, "Miss, I am here to serve you."
"Uncle Zhang Feng, let her in."
Seeing that she was pale and looked like she was seriously poisoned, Zhang Feng made way for her.
Song Yu glanced at her and said, "You don't need to be bothered right now. Go eat breakfast first, then come and comb my hair and cover up your face. Try to avoid the swordplay when you return to the capital."
"This servant has already eaten. Now I will comb your hair. It will be quick."
"All right."
When Nanny Wen came in with rouge and powder, Yunyan had already combed Song Yu's hair into an ordinary second-class maid's bun.
"Miss, is this okay with you?"
Song Yu took the bronze mirror and looked carefully. There were still a few allergic rashes on his face, but the red mole at the corner of his eye was not obvious. "Not bad. If I put on some concealing makeup, I should be able to hide it from those ambushes along the way."
Nanny Wen came forward with rouge and powder and gave them to Yunyan. "Do you want to put on makeup now?"
"I'll put on my makeup after seeing Aunt Xu. Yunyan, go back and rest first. Let Uncle Zhang Feng come in."
"Miss, what can I do for you?"
Song Yu looked at Nanny Wen and said, "Mammy, if there is any nutritious chicken soup in the kitchen, please give Yunyan a bowl. We still need her to protect us in Beijing this time. There must be no injured people around, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
"Yes, miss."
Zhang Feng: "Miss, you wouldn't believe Yunyan, would you? She belongs to Du Zhihuan."
"If she's pretending to surrender, I might not even be able to reach Songjiazhuang. Let's not talk about her for now. Can we contact the people from Suzaku Pavilion?"
Zhang Feng: "They were all sent out to take on jobs a few days ago. They should be almost done. The master will call them back if he wants to return to his roots."
"We are not sure when Daddy will return to Beijing. You should arrange for someone to go south to mark the place. Daddy will be unaware of this and will be in trouble if he arrives at the Huguo Temple without a mask."
Zhang Feng's eyes lit up, "Why don't you wait for the master to come to Songjiazhuang before you consider returning to Beijing?"
"No, if I go back too late, the little prince will be in danger. I will take the Mu family's carriage back to the city today. You should send someone to deliver a message to my father."
Zhang Feng didn't try to persuade her anymore. He left the room and ordered Tang Tian to do this. "...Once the master learns of her identity, she will rush back as fast as she can. You go south to fetch her. I'll try my best to hold the young lady back and bring her back as soon as possible. If you see lanterns hanging outside the manor when you return, quickly take the master north to rescue the young lady!"
"Okay, hold off as long as you can. I'm leaving now!"
Soon after Tang Tian rode out of the farm, he ran into Ah Si escorting a carriage.
"A Si, slow down, don't rush to the farm, wait a little longer..."
Upon hearing this, Asi became anxious, thinking that something had happened to Song Yu, and hurried to the farm in an ordinary, medium-sized carriage from the Mu family.
Tang Tian: ...
Madam Xu in the carriage was almost thrown out.
If the person in the village was not Miss Du, the old woman would have given this boy a big slap in the face!
"Madam Xu." Ah Si smiled apologetically and respectfully asked the person to get off the carriage.
Madam Xu glanced at the guards she had brought with her and said, "Lead the way quickly."
Aunt Xu was highly wary of the so-called Miss Du.
She should be studying at Chaofeng Palace at this time.
If the princess hadn't come to the farm to relax half a month ago and kept talking about Miss Du, it would be obvious that the princess liked her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't come over.
If Miss Du could really find a way to cure the prince's aversion to women, the old lady would be able to have a great-grandson, and she would have done a great deed!
When Aunt Xu saw Song Yu dressed as a servant, she frowned and asked, "Are you Song Yu, the eldest aunt of the Du family?"
Song Yu smiled and nodded: "It's me! Aunt Xu, you should remember my voice."
Aunt Xu listened to the familiar voice and looked at her face carefully. Her features were very similar to those of the Marquis of Weiyuan. She hurriedly greeted her respectfully, "Greetings, Miss Du. I wonder why you are dressed like this?"
Song Yu said, "I can't explain it clearly right now. This involves matters of the imperial court. I need to borrow the Mu family's carriage to hide from the assassinations along the way and rush back to the capital to inform Prince Mu and the princess. If I can't return, not only will the Jiang and Du families be in danger, but the Mu family will also be in danger."
"What?"
Nanny Xu was unhappy. There was no way to cure the prince's aversion to women.
This was clearly an attempt to trick her into bringing the Mu family into trouble!
"Our Mu family is a prominent family in Dayuan. The current Duke's wife is the eldest princess of the current emperor. How could the Mu family be in danger? Or are you not Song Yu at all?"
Song Yu looked at her and was silent for a moment. "Lady Mu was seriously ill last time because Prince Mu brought back a pot of Podocarpus from outside. In fact, it was not a Podocarpus!"
Aunt Xu opened her eyes wide, "You really are Song Yu!"
Song Yu nodded, "Do you believe what I said now?"
Aunt Xu thought that Miss Du was the old lady's savior.
The princess liked her very much.
If she doesn't cooperate and cover up, and Song Yu is assassinated, the master will not forgive her when he finds out!
"I believe you! Miss Du, please tell me what to do?"
Song Yu: "It's time to send two truckloads of those rare wild fruits and vegetables from Fengquan Villa back today..."
Zhang Feng was horrified when he heard Song Yu's plan. "Miss, we have to follow the car. How about we have lunch before going back?"
He tried to delay as much as possible, waiting for his master to come back so that it would be safer.
"Miss." Yunyan entered the room, looking much better. "The Mu family will have to send supplies back to the city early in the morning or in the afternoon. Those ambushing along the way might become suspicious if they do so at this time."
Aunt Xu quickly agreed: "That's right. We will send the supplies back to the city either in the early morning or in the afternoon. This will give us enough time to prepare more supplies."
"Okay, then we'll go back to the city at noon."
