What if Xie Tingzhou wasn't completely drunk at the time, or was just a drunkard with a clear mind? Wouldn't I have been exposed?
Let's see how the other person reacts first.
"Should we still go to Pu Kingdom? Or should we go straight back to Wei?"
Yan Xuerui said, "Qingming Festival is coming soon, and my great-grandmother and the others must be back. I wonder if my parents came to see me this time."
She wanted to see her parents.
Upon hearing this, Shi Lingci said, "Then let's go straight back to Great Wei. I guess the Imperial Uncle and the others have already returned to Great Wei as well."
My parents-in-law went on a special mission during a special period, and my wife hasn't seen them for many years.
Compared to testing Tse Ting-chou, his wife's matter was more important, and besides, there would be plenty of opportunities along the way.
After staying in Pu for a few more days, Shi Yan prepared to return to Wei.
That day, after he thought that Shi Lingci might go to find Xie Tingzhou, he sent a message to the people left in Dayuan. When he learned that it was indeed Shi Lingci who had taken Xie Tingzhou away, he felt at ease.
Shi Lingci did not abandon the country; he allowed Ye Zhen and the others to stay in Pu Kingdom for a few more days as originally planned.
Anyway, with our ancestors around, the country won't fall into chaos.
Even so, the women of the Lou family were still reluctant to part with Ye Zhen and his group when they learned that they were leaving.
They all came out early in the morning to see him off.
Lou Shisan thinks highly of Ye Zhen, believing that since Ye Zhen is not yet married, the bachelors in the Lou family still have a chance.
He then sent his son and several nephews with him to the Great Wei, naturally citing the reason that it was to visit relatives. Shi Yan could not refuse.
Xiaoyuer was very tempted, but Lou Shisan was busy and didn't feel comfortable letting his daughter stay with her brothers, so he didn't agree to let her leave with him.
"Sister, remember to think of me. I'll come visit you again when you get married."
Xiaoyuer stuffed a bag of pearls into Ye Zhen's arms.
“These are my childhood tears, which my parents kept for me. I rarely cried after I grew up, so these are all the tears I have. I’m giving them to you to make jewelry. I’ll save up more and give them to you later.”
This is a very precious gift.
Ye Zhen was very moved and gave her his jade whistle.
A few days ago, while playing at the beach, she remembered her father using a jade whistle to control fish. Out of curiosity, she tried it herself and showed everyone a scene of hundreds of fish leaping out of the water.
Little Fish was extremely envious of this.
Ye Zhen had been treated with genuine kindness by Xiao Yu'er these past few days, and he wanted to reciprocate with a gift. However, Pu Kingdom was wealthy, and Xiao Yu'er had no shortage of precious things. After obtaining Shi Yan's permission, Ye Zhen taught Xiao Yu'er the art of sound transmission and presented him with the jade whistle today.
Little Fish was also touched by the gift. But parting is inevitable after a thousand miles of travel. Ye Zhen waved goodbye and got into the carriage.
This time, they traveled by land.
"If you can't bear to part with him, your father will come with you again in the future."
On the way, Shi Yan comforted his daughter, "Your father is considering opening up maritime trade with Da Yuan. As the sea routes become more and more mature, it will be more and more convenient for you to travel back and forth in the future."
Ye Zhen nodded and asked, "Father, are you sure Xie Azhao can pass my cousin's test?"
After confirming that Shi Lingci had gone to see Xie Tingzhou, Shi Yan told his daughter. He didn't want to keep anything from his daughter, so he also told Ye Zhen about the possibility that Shi Lingci and her husband were testing Xie Tingzhou.
Ye Zhen had confidence in Xie Tingzhou, but she also knew that if Xie Tingzhou failed, Shi Yan would definitely reconsider their marriage.
His current statement about opening up trade between the two countries clearly indicates his belief that she and Xie Tingzhou can get married, meaning he believes Xie Tingzhou can pass the test.
Shi Yan laughed, "Have you ever seen a silly roe deer? You know, the kind that you point an arrow at and it will run up to you, curious about what you're doing."
Your brother and sister-in-law are probably like that; how could they possibly outsmart Xie Tingzhou? They'd likely be fooled by him and obediently lead the way.
Ye Zhen chuckled. His cousin was an emperor, and his father had personally raised him; of course, he couldn't be truly stupid.
Compared to Xie Tingzhou, he may have had too smooth a life, thus lacking some vigilance and retaining some naivety towards the beauty of the world.
“Father, Xie Azhao has had a hard life since she was a child.”
Therefore, he has to be very shrewd and work very hard to survive to this day.
Speaking of Xie Tingzhou, she laughed, "I didn't write to him, so he must have thought I was angry and probably worried a lot."
Ye Zhen looked at Shi Yan and said, "Father, I miss him a little."
I really want to.
While feeling jealous, Shi Yan also felt incredibly soft-hearted. He patted Ye Zhen's head and said, "Father knows that he means something different to you. Don't worry, Father won't make things difficult for him."
Why was he so easy to talk to in Dae Yeon?
Because when his daughter first met him, she told him how Xie Tingzhou resurrected her in his previous life and how he protected her in this life.
He knew that his daughter was worried that he would interfere in their relationship and make things difficult for Xie Tingzhou.
The fact that he protects his daughter so closely shows how much he cares about her; how could he let her suffer?
Ye Zhen rested her head on his shoulder and said, "Father, I really feel very happy right now."
Everyone she cared about was doing well, and they were all extremely kind to her: her master, her father, Xie Azhao, and even her brother and sister-in-law, whom she had never met, would consider Xie Tingzhou for her sake...
Shi Yan's heart softened again, and he leaned his shoulders down a little so that his daughter could lean on him more comfortably. "Father also feels happy."
The journey was smooth, and the group arrived at the Great Wei Imperial Palace at sunset. A woman stood outside the palace gate, watching them with a smile in her eyes...
