He just smiled when he heard that.
Su Luoqing, however, was somewhat worried, "I wonder if she will cause trouble for her father-in-law and the others."
Madam Wang didn't take it seriously, saying, "Your father didn't work as an imperial censor for decades for nothing."
They've all become seasoned veterans. No one is as cunning as Old Wang. He eats a lot but doesn't gain an inch of weight. It's even uncomfortable to hold him while sleeping at night. He uses all his energy to become cunning. He's practically a spirit tree.
However, she was still very happy. Her daughter-in-law was worried about them, so she comforted her, "Don't worry, Dayuan is still the Dayuan of the Xie family, and there is also the Crown Prince."
The emperor wasn't that muddle-headed.
Su Luoqing thought that her father-in-law and Wang Jingshuo were both very intelligent people, and that they must have their reasons for daring to impeach the Empress, so she stopped worrying about it.
She didn't have time to worry about anything else, because Madam Wang had scooped up a big fish with her net. The fish was too heavy for her to lift by herself. "Qingqing, Qingqing, quick, quick, quick, help your mother."
Su Luoqing helped pull up the net. The fish was almost half a person tall. Su Luoqing was worried that the fish would jump away, so she bent down and hugged the fish in her arms.
The fish thrashed and struggled in her arms, splashing water all over her face and soaking her clothes.
However, the area was guarded by Shegu and her maids, and no men approached. Su Luoqing didn't care about that and smiled brightly.
She showed Ye Zhen her work, "Ye Zhen, aren't we amazing?"
Ye Zhen smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
Su Luoqing had devoted all her energy to learning medicine from her grandfather since she was a child, and had never had such carefree time before.
Then he said to Madam Wang, "Mother, I want to eat grilled fish and braised fish. I've never eaten fish that I caught myself."
Madam Wang doted on her daughter-in-law and waved her hand, "Alright, roast this one, and I'll get another one for you to cook."
Soon, another net entered Cui Yihuan's hand, even bigger than the previous one. She hurriedly called out, "Sister-in-law, Ninth Sister, Zhen'er, Luo Qing, quick, quick, come and help! I can't pull it."
The people who had been called came over to help, and the fish was pulled ashore. However, the fish was very lively and looked like it was about to leap back into the water.
Su Luoqing lunged forward and pinned down the fish's tail, while Cui Yihuan knelt down and pinned down the fish's body.
Madam Wang pinched the fish's gills and exclaimed in surprise, "These fish in the water are really strange. They swim right up to us. They're so silly."
Now that we've caught it, it's gotten smarter and knows to escape into the water.
Ye Zhen and Yin Jiuniang exchanged a glance and smiled.
Father/Brother Shi was blowing his jade whistle and using music to drive the fish toward them, and sure enough, the fish swam toward them.
But Madam Wang and the others had all grown up in high society and had never experienced such things. It was a rare treat that the sun was shining so warmly today, so everyone had a good time.
They didn't point it out, mainly because they were having fun.
The air here was filled with laughter and joy.
Not far away, Huo Zhan stood on tiptoe to look in this direction, but after looking for a long time he couldn't see anything, so he said to Shi Yan next to him, "Why are they playing for so long?"
Shi Yan ignored him.
This man caught up with them on the very day they left the capital, sent the main force back to Dongwu, and then followed them all the way with his shadow guards.
They named it "Escorting Them to the Seaside".
In reality, he just couldn't bear to be separated from Jiu Niang.
The stickiness between day and night was one thing, but when a few women wanted to play in the water and catch fish, it was only an hour, and he acted as if they had been separated for decades.
How utterly spineless!
Huo Zhan, unaware that Shi Yan was looking down on him, saw him still blowing the jade whistle and advised, "Brother-in-law, why don't you take a break?"
It's only early spring, the weather is still quite cool. Playing by the water for too long isn't good for your health. If there aren't enough fish, should I have someone catch some?
He wanted to see Jiu Niang.
Jiu Niang is going to the Great Wei this time, and we don't know when she will be back. Wasting even an hour is a waste.
Shi Yan thought that his daughter had probably had enough fun after playing for so long, so he stopped using the jade whistle, nodded, and said, "Alright, you can take some men to catch her."
As soon as the jade whistle stopped, the fish returned to normal, and Ye Zhen knew that his father and the others were coming.
He said to Su Luoqing and the others, "My father and the others are coming."
Su Luoqing and the others were tired from playing, so they returned to their carriages to tidy themselves up.
Yin Jiuniang wasn't dirty or disheveled, so there was no need to tidy herself up. However, she was a little tired, so she jumped onto a large tree in the distance and went to take a nap.
Huo Zhan came over but didn't see anyone, so he asked his precious son, "Where's your master?"
Ye Zhen knew he was clinging to his master, and thinking of his master's sleepy look, he shook his head. "He was just here. Did he go to the mountains to catch wild animals? I just mentioned that he wanted to eat roasted rabbit."
"You want to eat roasted rabbit? Then your master will catch some for you."
Yin Jiuniang was almost always willing to grant Ye Zhen's requests. Huo Zhan, eager to see his wife, didn't suspect anything and assumed that Yin Jiuniang had really gone to the mountains. He used his light footwork to enter the mountains with a light touch.
It was all destined to be a wasted trip.
Shi Yan smiled and pointed at Ye Zhen, "Naughty."
But it's good!
His daughter was very happy throughout the trip, and he was happy to see her like that.
The group continued their journey, enjoying themselves as they went, until they finally reached the seaside, which was also the day Huo Zhan and Yin Jiu Niang were to part ways.
Meanwhile, good news came from the border town: the Crown Prince and the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor, working together openly and secretly, captured eleven cities in Xiyue, and the Xiyue Kingdom surrendered voluntarily.
After settling matters at the border, Xie Tingzhou and Marquis Zhongyong rode swiftly back to the capital...
