On the day Liu Yuqin left the capital, Madam Qin went to the city gate to see her off. After this farewell, Madam Qin didn't know when she would see Liu Yuqin again.
"You should write to your second sister more often in the future." Madam Qin looked at Liu Yanbo and his wife. "Even if we are not in the same place, we are still siblings."
Madam Qin Da Shao thought that she was not good and always thought about Liu Yuqin. The Qin family had objections to her behavior of caring too much about Liu Yuqin. If she couldn't do it, then Liu Yanbo and his wife could care more about Liu Yuqin.
"You are from the same mother, so you should care about each other more." said Mrs. Qin.
"Of course." Liu Yanbo said.
Madam Qin Dashao didn't care that much about Liu Yanbo. It didn't matter whether Liu Yanbo lived well or not. What mattered was that women had a hard life, and Liu Yanbo should care about Liu Yuqin.
If Liu Yanbo knew what Madam Qin was thinking, he would be speechless. If Liu Yuqin wasn't his biological sister, Liu Yanbo wouldn't have come to see her off.
"Here are some food, eat it on the way." Su Qiuya also made some food for these people. Even if she didn't like Liu Yuqin anymore, Liu Yuqin was about to leave the capital, so Su Qiuya didn't think about other things.
"You should take care of your body." Liu Yuqin looked at Su Qiuya, "If that doesn't work, you should give Yanbo a concubine. You still have to take a concubine."
Su Qiuya was upset when she heard this. Why did Liu Yuqin say something to annoy her before leaving? She had originally thought that since they were going to separate and would not see each other much in the future, there should be less conflict between them.
If Su Qiuya knew that Liu Yuqin was going to say these words before leaving, she would definitely not come to see Liu Yuqin off.
"Second sister is right," said Madam Qin, "when it's time to take a concubine, then you should. It's better for a woman not to be too pushy. It's not like your husband hasn't done anything outside of the home yet, so don't embarrass others."
"You're making me feel ashamed right now." Su Qiuya sneered. "I came here with good intentions to see you off, and you're saying this."
Madam Qin Dashao did not expect Su Qiuya to say this. This person actually did not give her face.
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it." Madam Qin said, "A sister-in-law actually said such words. Is this even reasonable?"
"Whether it's reasonable or not, you know it in your heart." Su Qiuya looked at Madam Qin, "I'm not your biological sister, so you say that. Go ahead."
Su Qiuya wasn't afraid of these people. Madam Qin was just a talker in front of them. The Qin family would never allow Madam Qin to interfere in other people's affairs. Su Qiuya thought it was fortunate that Liu Yuqin was leaving the capital. Otherwise, with Madam Qin's temperament, she would be changed by Liu Yuqin sooner or later, and she would become the next Liu Yuqin.
Liu Yulian is the biological sister of Madam Qin, but Madam Qin is so depressed that she always contacts Liu Yuqin.
Su Qiuya thought that it was definitely because Madam Qin Dashao was used to a good life, so Madam Qin Dashao wanted to help Liu Yuqin.
"If you really have the ability, then go and take care of the people in Jingning Marquis' Mansion." Su Qiuya said, "You are just picking on the weak."
Didn't Su Qiuya understand that these people just wanted to bully her? She wouldn't let them torment her, and she wouldn't give them face just because Liu Yuqin was leaving.
There is absolutely no need for that. These people don't know how good she is.
Su Qiuya is not afraid that Madam Qin will be unhappy. If Madam Qin is unhappy, then she is unhappy.
"Qiuya is absolutely right." Liu Yanbo agreed, "You don't have to worry too much about me and her. We will be fine."
"It's time to go." Aunt Qing said. If she didn't speak up, these people would start quarreling, which would be bad.
After Aunt Qing and others left, Su Qiuya and others turned back.
Su Qiuya didn't talk to Madam Qin anymore. There was no need. Whatever happened to Madam Qin had nothing to do with her. Su Qiuya just wanted to live her own life. She and Liu Yanbo turned around and left together.
"Wait." Madam Qin Dashao said, "Before your second sister passed away, she told me a few days ago to take good care of you. She treated you..."
"It's just a few words." Liu Yanbo held Su Qiuya. "She said a few words, is that good for me?"
Liu Yanbo found it funny. How could he possibly think that? Sometimes, to do something bad, it didn't cost anything at all, just a few words. For example, when Liu Yuqin said a few words to Madam Qin, Madam Qin took them seriously.
If Liu Yanbo was not so nice to Su Qiuya because of Madam Qin, how could that be possible? Liu Yanbo thought that Madam Qin liked to meddle in other people's affairs, so he didn't say much, which was considered giving Madam Qin face.
Otherwise, Liu Yanbo would have said a few more words to Madam Qin, the eldest young master.
"Let's go." Liu Yanbo looked at Su Qiuya. He wanted to care about Su Qiuya instead of listening to the nonsense that Madam Qin said.
Madam Qin Dashao looked at Liu Yanbo's departing back and frowned. Why are they all like this?
On the city wall, Young Master Qin happened to see this scene and he couldn't help shaking his head.
Young Master Qin didn't like Madam Qin always visiting Liu Yuqin, but fortunately Liu Yuqin had already left. However, given Madam Qin's current situation, Young Master Qin didn't think she was any better.
Young Master Qin saw that Liu Yanbo and his wife disliked Madam Qin, so Madam Qin must have been meddling in other people's affairs. This was the reason for this situation; otherwise, how could someone be so unhappy for no reason?
When Madam Qin Da Shao turned around, she saw Master Qin Da Shao coming down from the tower, his face not looking very good.
After seeing Young Master Qin, Mrs. Qin couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
"Go back." said Young Master Qin.
Young Master Qin was too lazy to talk about those things. It would be best if Young Madam Qin could figure it out on her own. If she couldn't figure it out, then they would not let Young Madam Qin out in the future.
Madam Qin Dashao didn't dare to say much, as she could sense that Dashaoye Qin was unhappy.
After Madam Qin returned home, she received a collection of female precepts and rules sent by someone close to her. Seeing those books, Madam Qin knew what she was talking about, and her in-laws were dissatisfied with her.
Madam Qin did not dare to go to the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion to tell him about this matter. If the people in the mansion knew that she went to see Liu Yuqin off, they would probably be even more unhappy.
At the Marquis of Jingning's mansion, Madam Qin sent someone to tell them about Liu Yuqin's departure. The people in the mansion had severed their ties with Liu Yuqin, so of course they couldn't go and see her off.
Princess Zhaoyang did not say much about Liu Yuqin's faults in front of Liu's mother, but she felt that Madam Qin was overreaching.
"Why did she let someone come here to talk about this?" Liu's mother frowned immediately.
"Maybe he thought everyone was about to leave," Princess Zhaoyang said, "so he came over to tell me."
"..." Mother Liu really didn't think there was anything good about this. Madam Qin shouldn't do this.
"Now that the person is gone, there's nothing to worry about." Princess Zhaoyang said.
Mother Liu disagreed. There was already an irreparable rift between her eldest and youngest daughters, and their relationship could no longer be as strong as it once was. Even if Madam Qin turned back now, it would be useless; the damage had already been done.
If it was Liu's mother, she would not be able to forgive Madam Qin. Madam Qin changed her attitude only after someone left. That would not be good.
After Liu Yulian learned that Liu Yuqin had left, she had no thoughts. As for whether Madam Qin Dashao allowed people to announce Liu Yuqin's departure or not, it made no difference. Liu Yulian didn't care about that.
It was not easy for Liu's mother to tell Liu Yulian that Liu Yuqin had left and ask her to reconcile with Madam Qin. How could that be possible? Besides, Liu Yulian and Madam Qin were not really quarreling at the moment.
Liu Yulian left the house and He Xiyuan was waiting for her at the door.
The two of them went for a walk outside together and then had dinner at a restaurant.
Liu Yulian talked about the young master's wife's tricks. When Liu Yuqin decided to leave the capital, the young master's wife came to tell her. After Liu Yuqin left, the young master's wife sent someone to tell her.
"I really don't know what she was thinking. I feel like she let me know on purpose." Liu Yulian rarely spoke ill of her relatives in front of He Xiyuan, but Madam Qin did it again and again.
Liu Yulian thought that Madam Qin was deliberately stepping on her bottom line. Madam Qin was different from Liu Yuqin. Madam Qin's behavior would at most make people uncomfortable, but it would not be a big deal.
This type of relative is the kind that people can tolerate, some of whom are extreme but not quite extreme. Many people have relatives who occasionally say a few words to you, seemingly doing it for your own good, but in fact they just want to say that you are not good and want to push you into the fire pit.
Under such circumstances, how could Liu Yulian become close to Mrs. Qin, the eldest young master?
"Ignore her." He Xiyuan said.
"I didn't pay any attention to it, but she sent someone to tell you, and you heard it even if you didn't want to." Liu Yulian said, "Besides, she just sent someone to pass on a message, that's all."
Liu Yulian was also helpless. The other person just said a few words and didn't do anything else.
"You said that I can just edit books and not be transferred out in the future." He Xiyuan said.
"Why?" Liu Yulian asked, "Because of me?"
"No." He Xiyuan shook his head. "I just think compiling books is also a good thing for the country. Don't you always have to organize those books and compile their contents into volumes?"
"Then others might not remember you." Liu Yulian said, "Maybe when others mention you, they will say you are Princess Rongning's consort."
"What's the big deal?" He Xiyuan asked, "Is it true that I'm only allowed to say you're my wife, and not that I'm your husband?"
"If you are not transferred to another place, then it will be difficult for you to get promoted. Will you stay in the Hanlin Academy forever?" Liu Yulian originally thought that He Xiyuan was going to be transferred to another place in two years, and she was prepared. She could go to the local area with He Xiyuan at that time, and she could study other things. She didn't have to stay in the capital.
The research groups in the institute may not necessarily need Liu Yulian, so Liu Yulian thought she could go out for a walk.
"That's fine." He Xiyuan said, "Not just to accompany you, I also want to relax a little."
"Don't you want power to protect me?" Liu Yulian had heard He Xiyuan say before that if he was more powerful, he would be able to protect her.
"It's okay. The emperor is my cousin, and the future Duke of Chengguo is my biological brother." He Xiyuan said, "If we have any problems, we can go find them."
“…” Liu Yulian blinked. Is this really okay?
"We have to make them feel like brothers." He Xiyuan chuckled, "Don't you agree?"
"Do you really like editing books?" Liu Yulian asked.
"No." He Xiyuan shook his head, "I just want us to live a peaceful and stable life in this life."
In Da Huo's previous life, He Xiyuan went to the battlefield. He Xiyuan thought that since he had fought in his previous life, he would not have to fight so hard in this life. If he did those things, he would not have more time to take care of Liu Yulian.
Liu Yulian had made so many things before, such as wool and so on.
Those tribes now rarely wage war against the Daliang Dynasty, and those people are still afraid that the Daliang Dynasty will invade them.
He Xiyuan thought it was a good thing that he didn't have to go to the battlefield. If he was asked to be an official in a local area, he would also be an official in a small place. He didn't want Liu Yulian to suffer with him. They rarely had such an easy life in this life, so why should they bother?
There are many people in this world who want to be officials, and those places don't lack officials like He Xiyuan. He Xiyuan thought that if he and Liu Yulian lived a good life, had a few more smart children, and let those children do good deeds, wouldn't that be better?
"Do those people think that the two of us are too powerful together?" Liu Yulian still felt that something was wrong.
"No." He Xiyuan smiled, "Why do you think so?"
"..." Liu Yulian couldn't say that everything in TV dramas and novels was like that. She thought for a moment and said, "Some people think I shouldn't be the director of the research institute. They think I have too much power."
Even though Liu Yulian does not have to attend court, some people still think that Liu Yulian should not be the president of the institute.
"Don't worry about them," He Xiyuan said. "If they were capable, they would be the president of the academy, not you. The emperor asked about this before, and after thinking about it for a few days, I still think it's fine to just work with you to compile the book."
He Xiyuan thought that he was not a book editor, and Sister Lian would sometimes say something. This made He Xiyuan feel the joy of book editing, and book editing was no longer a boring task.
"It's okay. We still have plenty of time. If you want to be transferred, go ahead," Liu Yulian said. "I can go with you. I can see the local environment and what I can do."
"Okay." He Xiyuan nodded. They hadn't gotten married yet, so they still discussed things from time to time. "This year isn't suitable for a wedding banquet. We might have to wait until next year."
He Xiyuan had originally thought they could get married this year and consummate their marriage two years later. However, consummating the marriage too early was not good for a woman's health, and He Xiyuan had consulted a doctor. Unfortunately, the emperor passed away this year, so some families postponed their weddings until next year.
Some people also held wedding banquets this year, but the scale of the banquets was not that large.
He Xiyuan didn't want to let Liu Yulian down, he wanted to let Liu Yulian enter the house with honor.
"Are you anxious?" Liu Yulian was a little shy, but she still said this to He Xiyuan.
"Yes, I'm anxious." He Xiyuan said, "There are others watching you."
"We are engaged." Liu Yulian said.
"Some people are just wondering if I'll fall off my horse or choke on my food..." He Xiyuan joked, "They're either waiting for us to break off our engagement or for me to die."
"Then you have to be careful." Liu Yulian said, "If anything happens to you, those people will say that I am unlucky."
"No, they will just say that I don't have that blessing." He Xiyuan said.
At the Marquis of Jingning's mansion, Liu Yanjing received a letter sent by Liu Yanqing. Liu Yanjing learned about Da Huo's affairs in Shiyuan Village, and also about Da Huo and Miss Cen's husband, and that Da Huo was with another man.
"..." Liu Yanjing didn't know what to say. He didn't expect that the Huo family would become like that.
Liu Yanjing didn't feel too distressed. No matter what happened to Mrs. Huo, she was no longer his wife. Liu Yanjing had long given up on Mrs. Huo, but he didn't want her affairs to affect his two children.
"What's wrong?" Princess Zhaoyang saw that Liu Yanjing looked a little solemn, so she simply took the letter. It turned out that the problem was not with the fourth house, but with the eldest Huo family.
"Don't let Jiajie'er and Yunge'er know." Liu Yanjing said, "They are from the Liu family, not the Huo family."
"You and I are the only ones who have read this letter," Princess Zhaoyang said. "Just burn it."
Princess Zhaoyang didn't speak directly about the contents of the letter, fearing that the servants would overhear it. If there was a servant with a big mouth, they might tell others, and then Liu Jia and Liu Qingyun might be criticized.
"Yes." Liu Yanjing responded, "Then burn it."
Liu Yanjing just felt that Mrs. Huo really didn't know how to consider her children at all. She was always doing whatever she wanted. She was entangled with those men. Was she thinking of embarrassing others as well?
In the future, when others talk about Liu Qingyun and Liu Jia, what will they say?
"I'm sorry to trouble you." Liu Yanjing held Princess Zhaoyang's hand.
"It's nothing, it's not a big deal. Jiajie'er and Yunge'er still call me mother." Princess Zhaoyang said, "Don't worry, it's okay."
Princess Zhaoyang understood how much Liu Yanjing valued the two children. Liu Yanjing did not vent his anger on them just because the two children were born to the eldest Huo family. Princess Zhaoyang would not treat her step-son and step-daughter badly.
"What's happening in the northwest won't necessarily reach the capital," Princess Zhaoyang said. "If it does, it won't be my fault, and it won't be our loss of face."
"I just hope so." Liu Yanjing sighed. He never thought that the Huo family would do such a thing.
In the northwest, the Huo family came to the door. There were always some people who could not tolerate their husbands cheating on them. Those people knew about the existence of the Huo family. Some chose to endure it, thinking that their husbands were just playing around, while others did not want to endure it and some people went to find trouble with the Huo family.
This time, during an argument, Da Huo was pushed to the ground and severely beaten. Without paying attention, Da Huo got a scratch on her cheek, and someone even hit her in the face.
"I told you to seduce someone, I told you to seduce someone." The man who beat Da Huo didn't let go at all and even attacked Da Huo's face.
By the time the others pulled Da Huo away from those people, Da Huo's cheek was already bleeding.
