Chapter 300 A Box of Silver Notes
Wang Dahu was confused and didn't understand what was going on.
Ye Mingzhu understood that Manager Jiang was keeping his promise to send her back.
"Uncle, I'm going to change my clothes." Ye Mingzhu quickly walked back to the cabin, took off her wet clothes, wiped her hair half dry, packed all her things, and walked out without any reluctance.
Manager Jiang must have said something to Wang Dahu. Wang Dahu took the bag from her hand, and the two of them got off the boat. They quickly set sail and disappeared into the night.
Wang Dahu squinted his eyes to determine the direction, and Ye Mingzhu found a handkerchief to wipe her hair. Neither of them spoke.
It was not until they got off the boat and Wang Dahu found a carriage from somewhere and the two of them sat in the carriage that he spoke.
"Mingzhu, you will set out at dawn tomorrow. I will take you to see if there are any official ships. If not, you can take a carriage."
Ye Mingzhu nodded: "Yeah."
Wang Dahu's face was filled with guilt: "Zhenzhu, I'm sorry. I was reckless this time and shouldn't have dragged you into this."
Ye Mingzhu shook her head: "Uncle, you are so good to us, how can I watch you get into trouble? Besides, isn't everything okay now? Don't worry."
Both of them knew that this matter was unusual, but they couldn't talk about it openly.
Wang Dahu couldn't open his mouth anymore. No matter how much he said, it couldn't make up for the guilt in his heart.
Although he didn't know the details, it was very unusual for Manager Jiang to let Mingzhu leave at night.
If something happened to Mingzhu because of him, how could he be worthy of his deceased sister?
Ye Mingzhu didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, so she closed her eyes and dozed off in the carriage.
When they arrived at the city gate, it was not open yet. They waited until dawn and were the first to enter the city.
At home, Ye Yun'an and Uncle Yan had just gotten up. They looked at Ye Mingzhu and Wang Dahu hurried back, feeling a little confused.
Ye Mingzhu said something to them and went back to her room. She wanted to pack her things and take a shower.
Wang Dahu instructed the kitchen to first send hot water to Ye Mingzhu's room, and then prepare breakfast and send it over. After breakfast, Ye Mingzhu and the others were going home.
Ye Yun'an and Uncle Yan looked at each other, feeling that it was too sudden.
Wang Dahu was in no mood to talk to the two of them, so he asked Qiu Sheng to go to the dock and buy three tickets for the official ship. If he couldn't buy one, he would buy a carriage and come back.
Qiu Sheng agreed and went out immediately.
Wang Dahu quickly walked back to his room to pack his things.
This time, his niece went back and didn't know when she would be able to come back, so he wanted to give her some of the good things and money he had collected during this period.
Ye Yun'an watched his uncle leave and looked at Uncle Yan: "Just now, my uncle told us to leave after breakfast. Did I hear it wrong?"
"You heard right," Uncle Yan said with a stern face, patting his shoulder: "Go back and pack your things."
Judging from the reactions of Wang Dahu and Ye Mingzhu, Uncle Yan judged that something bad must have happened, so they had to leave immediately.
His main mission this time was to protect the safety of Ye Mingzhu and Ye Yun'an, so leaving at this time was the best choice.
Ye Yun'an was pushed back to his room by Uncle Yan. Although he didn't understand, he obeyed and started to pack his things.
After returning to her room, Ye Mingzhu did not pack her things immediately, but waited for the hot water to be served. She put some maggot-repellent herbs she had brought into the room, took a nice bath, and then started packing.
They didn't buy anything this time, just some gifts from Jiang Li and Jiang Yue, so they just packed them up.
She had just packed half of it when Wang Dahu came hurriedly and handed her a small box.
"Mingzhu, you left in such a hurry this time that you didn't have time to buy anything. Take this money. I'll deposit the rent for your shop into the bank, and you can withdraw it regularly."
Ye Mingzhu didn't know how much money was in the box, but she had already bought a farm, a house, and a shop.
Even if the things she gave to Wang Dahu could be sold for money, they were probably almost used up, and she didn't want to keep them anymore.
Wang Dahu forced the box into her hands. "Just take it if I told you to. This is all from the money I earned from selling the things you gave me. I also prepared a box of fabric, sausages, and bacon for you. It's cold now, so it can be stored."
He originally wanted to bring some ornaments for Ye Mingzhu, but the journey was too far and it was not convenient to carry them, so he had to give up.
The box in Ye Mingzhu's hand was not heavy. She guessed that there were banknotes inside, but in this situation, she could only accept it and thought about going back to find some good things for her uncle.
"Mingzhu, live a good life when you go back. I'll come to see you after I've sorted out my problems here."
Seeing that half an hour had passed and the servants had already set the table, Wang Dahu said nothing more and took Ye Mingzhu to the dining room.
Uncle Yan and Ye Yun'an had also packed their things and were waiting there.
Wang Dahu took a look at the food on the table and asked Ye Mingzhu and the others to eat first. He went to the kitchen and asked the cook to make some dry food such as meat patties and meat buns, as well as various snacks.
When he came back, everyone was waiting for him. He turned his head to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, took the lead in picking up the bowl of porridge and took a sip, and then the others started to eat breakfast.
Because everyone was worried, they didn't eat much.
Qiu Sheng, who had gone out to buy a boat ticket, also returned. It was freezing cold, and he was sweating profusely. "Master, the official boat isn't leaving today. I went to buy a carriage. The horses are already fed, so we can set off now."
Wang Dahu suppressed his reluctance and stood up: "Then move all the things to the carriage."
Several people moved all the things onto the carriage. Wang Dahu asked Chun Xing to move two new quilts onto the carriage, and asked Qiu Sheng to spread an unused leather mattress from his study onto the carriage as well.
Ye Mingzhu didn't want it, but Wang Dahu glared at her and said, "It's much colder to ride in a carriage than on a boat. There's no leather mattress. Be careful that your legs will get cramps from the cold."
While Ye Mingzhu was hesitant, Chun Xing had already spread the leather mattress, so she had no choice but to accept Wang Dahu's kindness.
Uncle Yan went to check the condition of the carriage, and Ye Yun'an followed Qiu Sheng to put the prepared charcoal, hand warmer, small pot and some rice on the carriage.
Ye Mingzhu whispered to Wang Dahu, "Uncle, if the matter is resolved, please write me a letter and I will come to see you again."
Wang Dahu had a bitter smile on his face. Even though he didn't know what exactly had happened, he could guess from the state of Manager Jiang that the matter was definitely not simple. However, he couldn't let his niece get involved.
"Okay, I'll write to you then, and you can come back next year when I get married."
Ye Mingzhu blinked. Wang Dahu's wedding was in the spring, and it was expected to be in more than three months.
