Chapter 1050, Transfer (Two chapters in one)
With dissatisfaction and complaints towards Daohua and Han Xinran, Sun took Yan Yile and Yan Yihan back to Lanwu Mansion.
When leaving the city gate, the carriage passed by the convoy waiting on the side to enter the city.
Yan Yile was mumbling, her head feeling a little heavy. She heard a familiar voice in a trance and couldn't help but lift the curtain to look out.
On the opposite road, a handsome and elegant man in brocade clothes was standing in front of a carriage, talking to his wife and children in the carriage with a doting and intimate look.
The man looked energetic and had a bright smile. One could tell at a glance that he lived a very comfortable life.
It was the caravan's turn to enter the city. The man waved his hand, jumped on his horse with high spirits, and entered the city gate with his wife, children and the caravan.
Yan Yile stared at the man's back in a daze, her eyes flickering, as if she was recalling something.
Sun noticed Yan Yile's strange behavior and also stuck her head out to look. She immediately recognized that the convoy entering the city was the Li family's, and the leader seemed to be Li Chenzhi again.
"snort!"
Yan Yihan leaned against the car wall, closing her eyes to rest. When she heard Sun's cold snort, she opened her eyes helplessly: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Sun's face was full of dissatisfaction: "What do you mean by 'what's wrong with me?' It's all because of Yi's betrayal. We are her direct cousins, aren't we closer than the Li family's cousins?"
"She's very kind. She's been very supportive to the Li family. But what about us? What has she done for us?"
"Before leaving Beijing, I heard that the Li family's business in Xiliang was very large and they made a lot of money."
"She was so kind to the Li family, but she kicked us out of the palace. She's not the kind of person who would behave like that."
Yan Yihuan was extremely tired and didn't have the energy to argue with her mother at the moment. She said bluntly, "Big sister treats people well. She always treats whoever treats her well."
"Mom, if you think Big Sister treats us and the Li family differently, you might as well think carefully about what we have done for Big Sister, and what has the Li family done for Big Sister?"
"Ever since my great uncle started his official career, the Li family has been helping the Yan family. As for us, ask yourself, have we ever helped my great uncle and his family?"
"Not only did they not help, but they also hindered us quite a bit."
"Mom, we are related by blood to Big Sister, but even that little bit of affection can't withstand repeated wear and tear."
Sun was choked by what she said and said angrily, "How come you're starting to be so disloyal, kid?"
Yan Yihan said helplessly, "Mom, I have a terrible headache now. I want to rest for a while. I'll take the carriage at the back."
As he spoke, he knocked on the door, signaling the coachman to stop, and then quickly got out of the carriage.
Seeing Yan Yihan getting off the car, Sun was so angry that she was blowing air. She wanted to complain to Yan Yile, but found that she was in a daze.
Thinking of her daughter's expression when she looked at the Li family's convoy just now, Sun swallowed the words in silence and sighed inwardly.
At first, the eldest sister-in-law wanted to marry Yile to Li Chenzhi, but unfortunately, neither her daughter nor they were interested.
Now that Li Chenzhi was doing so well in Xiliang, he had even brought his wife and children over to live with him. Being his wife meant she wouldn't have to worry about making a living or taking care of her parents-in-law. Thinking about it now, it was a perfect fit for Yile.
Why.
If she had listened to her sister-in-law at that time, Yile would not be living the life she is living now.
Lanwu Mansion, the prefect's backyard.
When Yan Yihan brought Sun and Yan Yile home, You Kai neither came out to greet them nor showed up to see anyone.
Sun was somewhat dissatisfied with this.
Yan Yihan also frowned quickly. Her husband has always attached great importance to rules and etiquette. She had already sent someone back to inform him in advance. Even if he was too busy with official duties to spare the time, he should have sent someone over to tell him.
"Mom, my husband might be busy, so please take Yile back to the room to rest first."
Mrs. Sun didn't want to be too picky about her son-in-law, so she said, "Yile still has a slight fever. Send someone to find a doctor to check on her."
Yan Yihuan nodded in agreement and asked the maid to take Sun and Yan Yile to the guest room. Then she called the housekeeper over and asked, "Is the master busy lately?"
The housekeeper said, "It's not busy, but Madam, the master has been in a bad mood since yesterday. At noon today, he even punished a doorman."
Yan Yihuan frowned: "Did something happen?"
The housekeeper shook her head: "Master Fan might know that last night, the master kept him until midnight before letting him leave."
Yan Yihan: "Is it an official matter?"
The housekeeper suddenly said, "By the way, Madam, the master has been saying for the past few days that the appointment letter has not come down yet. Could it be related to this?"
Hearing this, Yan Yihan thought of something and stood up suddenly. Because she stood up too quickly, she felt a little dizzy and her body swayed.
The housekeeper quickly supported the person and said, "Madam, are you okay?"
Yan Yihan supported herself on the table with both hands, her face pale, and she kept shaking her head and saying, "No, no."
Just then, there was a noise outside the door, and then You Kai, dressed in official uniform, walked in.
Seeing this, Yan Yihan hurried forward and asked anxiously, "My husband, have you been appointed to stay in Lanwu Mansion?"
Looking at his wife's pale face and thinking of all she had done for him over the years, even though You Kai was angry, he couldn't vent it on her. He waved his hand to let the maid in the room leave, and then helped Yan Yihan sit down.
"The appointment letter has arrived."
Yan Yihan's face lit up with joy, and just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard You Kai speak again.
"I've been transferred from Xiliang. In mid-March, I'll be assigned to Huaichuan Prefecture, which is under the jurisdiction of Anhui Province, as the prefect. It's considered a lateral transfer."
Hearing this, Yan Yihan was a little dazed. After a while, she shook her head excitedly and said, "No, it must be a mistake."
How could an official document be wrong?
You Kai comforted Yan Yihan and wanted to find out what happened to them in Liangdu.
Yan Yihan couldn't accept the fact that You Kai was transferred away: "Big sister wouldn't treat me like this, my husband, please wait a moment. I'll go to the palace to find Big sister and ask her clearly."
As he said this, he was about to rush out.
You Kai stopped Yan Yihan, forced her to sit on the chair, and asked loudly, "What on earth happened between you and your mother-in-law in Liangdu?"
Hearing this, Yan Yihuan's expression froze, and then she covered her face and cried sadly: "Husband, I am sorry for you, I have hurt you."
Xiliang is now developing rapidly. Even though she doesn't understand political affairs, she knows that she can make better political achievements here. With her brother-in-law as her backer, no one can take away the credit for her husband's achievements.
As long as he can work here for a few more years, gain experience and political achievements, my husband's future career advancement can be said to be bright.
But now, the elder sister obviously doesn't want to protect them anymore.
Looking at his distressed wife, You Kai sighed: "Is it because of my mother-in-law and Yile?"
He understood his wife's personality and knew that she and the princess got along well. Now that the prince had transferred him away from Xiliang, someone must have offended the palace, and the offense was not light.
If not his wife, then it can only be his mother-in-law and Yan Yile.
Yan Yihan nodded painfully. Thinking of the mess her mother and sister had made after coming to Xiliang, she began to feel resentful.
Her mother and younger sister made a mistake. If it only hurt her, she could have endured it even if she was kicked out of the house by her elder sister and sister-in-law. But now her husband has been implicated, and she really can't accept it.
You Kai frowned: "What on earth did mother-in-law and Yi Le do?"
Thinking of what her sister had done, Yan Yihan closed her eyes in shame. She was too embarrassed to tell her husband about peeping at her brother-in-law.
Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, You Kai did not ask any more questions. He took out a handkerchief and wiped Yan Yihuan's tears. He was silent for a moment: "I don't like to talk about the character of my mother-in-law and Yile. I can understand that you want to take care of your mother-in-law and sister's feelings, but..."
"Yihuan, you have to think more about our family, if not for anything else, then for our children."
"Father is getting old, and it's unlikely that he'll be able to move up in the family. Now the entire You family has to rely on me to support it."
"Only if I rise high enough will our children have an easier time in the future."
Yan Yihuan shed tears silently, and slowly, her eyes became firm: "I will write to my second brother and his wife later. When Yihuan is well again, I will send someone to send them back to Beijing."
You Kai's expression relaxed. He was not a person who only wanted to gain benefits without giving anything in return. He had received a lot of benefits from the Yan family over the years and was willing to give something back. However, he really didn't want to say much about his mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
In a word, the heart is higher than the sky, but the life is thinner than paper!
Living with such people who have no self-awareness will make your life a mess.
After a while, Yan Yihan was still unwilling to give up. She looked at You Kai eagerly, "Is there any room for change in your transfer? I can ask my elder sister for help."
You Kai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The document has been issued and cannot be changed."
For him, there is a world of difference between staying in Xiliang and going to other provinces.
If he goes to another province, he will have to start everything from scratch, and there will be no one to support him. It will be very difficult for him to achieve political achievements on his own.
But now that things have come to this, he can only accept it.
Just when the couple was immersed in their own sadness, Sun came over angrily because she was dissatisfied with the quality of the guest room supplies.
"Yihuan, your maids should be properly trained. Look at the things they gave Yile and me. If you didn't know, you would think we were entertaining poor relatives who came to ask for money."
"I just happened to come to your place. I have nothing to do anyway. When Yile gets better, I will help you train the maid."
Sun walked into the house without waiting for the maid to inform her. As soon as she came in, she was stunned.
My daughter's eyes were red and swollen, and it was obvious that she had been crying.
My son-in-law was also there, and his face looked very unhappy.
It was obvious that the two had quarreled.
Although Sun was very majestic in front of her daughter, she still felt a little insecure when facing her son-in-law who was an official. Seeing her son-in-law looking at her in surprise, she regretted rushing in like this and stood at the door awkwardly.
You Kai stood up and bowed to Sun: "Mother-in-law, I had official business today, so I didn't come to pick you up. Please don't be angry with me."
Sun quickly shook her head: "No, you go ahead and do your thing. Don't worry about me. I have Yihuan to take care of me."
You Kai glanced at his wife and said with a smile, "I have some things to do at the yamen, so I'll go take care of them first."
Sun nodded. After everyone left, she immediately walked over to Yan Yihuan and sat down. She took a big sip of tea before looking at Yan Yihuan: "Did you have a fight with your son-in-law just now?"
As he said this, he shook his head.
"Child, aren't you usually quite sensible? Mom is telling you, this man needs to be coaxed. When he's angry, don't confront him head-on."
"As women, our lives are tied to men. Men work hard outside, and we women stay at home and should be submissive and humble."
"Don't be like Yiyi. She is only relying on her youth and beauty to control Xiao Yeyang so strictly. When she gets older and loses her beauty, you will..."
Yan Yihan listened to Sun's increasingly outrageous remarks and interrupted her directly, saying, "Grandmother and my uncle and aunt don't interfere in my elder sister's affairs, so you should just stop worrying about it."
Sun was not happy: "How can you talk like that, kid?"
Yan Yihan was in no mood to listen to her nonsense. She looked at Sun with a cold expression: "Mother, my husband is going to be transferred out of Xiliang."
Sun didn't quite understand all this, but seeing how her daughter and son-in-law looked before, she knew it was not a good thing. She also instinctively felt that this matter might be related to her and Yile. She immediately dared not say anything, picked up the teacup, and concealed her guilt.
Looking at her mother who avoided talking about it, Yan Yihuan felt disappointed and heartbroken. She said with a half-smile, "Mom, do you know why?"
Sun uttered an "ah" and said with a wry smile, "I don't understand what's going on outside." As she spoke, she leaned to the side.
Yan Yihan sneered and said, "You don't understand. Let me tell you, my brother-in-law is in charge of Xiliang. He can decide the fate of all Xiliang officials. My husband was transferred because of my brother-in-law."
Sun couldn't pretend anymore. She put down her teacup with a thud and said angrily, "Was it Xiao Yeyang who wanted to transfer You Kai? This is really too much. How could he do this?"
She was very imposing, but she had no confidence at all. Even the maid outside the door could tell that she was bluffing.
Yan Yihan just looked at Sun silently.
The feigned anger on Sun's face didn't last long before it dissipated. She nervously grabbed Yan Yihuan's hand and said, "Yihuan, I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
As he spoke, anger appeared on his face again.
"If Yiyi is mad at me or Yile, she can just come after us. Why did she let Xiao Yeyang transfer You Kai?"
"Don't worry. Once Yile recovers, I'll go and ask Yiyi to keep Youkai. If she still doesn't agree, I'll write to your uncle and ask him to take care of her."
Yan Yihan let out a breath and pulled back her hand: "Mom, go take care of Yile and let her recover as soon as possible. My husband has been transferred, and we can't live in the prefect's backyard for much longer."
"As soon as Yile feels better, I'll hire an escort agency to take you back to the capital."
Seeing Yan Yihan's distant look, Sun felt a little flustered. Since her younger daughter was divorced and at home, she couldn't help but care more about her, but that didn't mean she didn't care about her eldest daughter.
"Yi Huan"
Yan Yihan interrupted: "Mom, I have to pack my things quickly. I really don't have the energy to deal with other things. Please feel sorry for me and let me have some free time."
Sun looked at Yan Yihuan with a face full of guilt. Because of Yile's matter, her son-in-law's career was affected. This was really not what she wanted to see: "Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go down first."
When Sun was about to reach the door, Yan Yihan spoke again.
"Mother, when we return to Beijing, please don't trouble my second brother and sister-in-law with everything. My second brother entered the officialdom later than others, and he can't stand being dragged down by others anymore."
"Second sister-in-law is already generous enough. Don't try to make her unhappy just for Yile. You should know that when you and dad are old, you will rely on your second brother and sister-in-law to support you in your old age."
After saying this, Yan Yihan no longer cared about Sun and went straight into the inner room.
