The so-called victory banquet was more about celebrating Goryeo's formal incorporation into the territory of the Great Chu.
Of course, Xie Xin, Jiang Wanqiu, Huo Qingjue, and others were all commended.
Emperor Tianqi also granted Li Yuanmu a sinecure and bestowed upon him a residence.
After the banquet, Xie Xuan had things to attend to, so Jiang Wanqiu and Huo Qingjue escorted Yun Chuwei back to her residence.
Jiang Wanqiu and Huo Qingjue, sitting outside the carriage, were quite moved.
At today's banquet, almost everyone came to toast them.
They never imagined they would become such sought-after people in the capital.
They also knew that this was thanks to Yun Chuwei.
After all, Yun Chuwei was the only one who brought about the current situation.
Their honors are simply because they were the ones who stayed by Yun Chuwei's side.
"Miss, thank you!" Jiang Wanqiu suddenly spoke, addressing the person inside the carriage.
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite?"
Huo Qingjue, who was standing to the side, said with a smile, "He actually has something he wants to ask you, but he doesn't dare to say it!"
Yun Chu raised an eyebrow and said slowly, "Tell me about it!"
Jiang Wanqiu glanced at Huo Qingjue with some gratitude.
He was indeed afraid to speak, but he had to speak.
Therefore, he was very grateful to Huo Qingjue for bringing up the topic.
He quickly said, "Miss, you must know that I want to propose marriage to the Cui family, right?"
Yun Chuwei asked directly, "You want me to act as your matchmaker?"
Jiang Wanqiu immediately replied, "Yes! The Cui family is of such high social standing that I'm not confident in my abilities!"
Yun Chuwei said casually, "If you want me to act as your matchmaker, I'm willing. But I have one condition: Miss Cui has to tell me this herself, and only if she agrees can I help you!"
Yun Chuwei knew very well that if she were to step in, it would already be somewhat coercive.
After all, she is now not only a direct descendant of Prime Minister Yun, but also a favorite of the emperor.
She needs Miss Cui's consent before she will get involved in this matter.
After Miss Cui agrees, she will also contact the Cui family privately to see their attitude.
Jiang Wanqiu understood Yun Chuwei's meaning after hearing her words, and said, "I will discuss this matter with Tingting! Then I will bring her to see Miss!"
Yun Chuwei nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, I'll wait for you!"
-
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the Marquis's residence.
After Yun Chuwei alighted from the carriage, she saw Yun Zheng.
"Sister!" Yun Zheng was very excited and waved to Yun Chuwei.
Yun Chuwei walked over and smiled at Yun Zheng: "You're back?"
Yun Zheng nodded immediately: "I brought you a lot of gifts this time, and I gave them all to Guiyan. Would you like to go and see them?"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back and take a look!"
As they spoke, the two walked inside side by side.
Yun Zheng followed Yun Chuwei and said in a low voice, "When I came back, I encountered Yun Lianhua. Later, I found out that the Crown Prince's men were chasing Yun Lianhua, so I brought her back! But I didn't do it to save her! I just felt that the Crown Prince was chasing Yun Lianhua for some shady reason, and perhaps she could be used by us!"
Yun Zheng had not forgotten the time when the archer beside the Crown Prince shot through Nineteen with a single arrow.
He had long ago secretly vowed that if given the chance, he would take revenge himself.
Yun Chuwei raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "It is indeed useful. What about Yun Lianhua now?"
Yun Zheng gestured with his chin toward the main hall: "Mother doesn't know why she wants to see Yun Lianhua, so I had Nineteen take her to see Mother."
Yun Chuwei turned her head and walked towards the main hall.
Yun Zheng had no choice but to chase after them.
Yun Chuwei walked into the main hall and saw Yun Lianhua kneeling inside.
Nineteen stood beside Yun Lianhua, watching her warily.
He Ning sat in the main seat, his expression calm.
At this moment, Yun Lianhua was covered in dirt, looking like a beggar.
She kept kowtowing to He Ning, who was in the main seat.
He kept saying, "Mother, I know I was wrong! After all this, I realize that my good life before was all thanks to you! I even poisoned you, I'm worse than a pig or a dog!"
Yun Lianhua experienced a lot on her journey back to the capital from Jizhou.
It's fair to say she almost died on that road.
At the same time, she also figured out a lot of things.
She came to He Ning crying and pleading, hoping that He Ning would take care of her out of consideration for their mother-daughter relationship.
If she could win back He Ning's affection, she would definitely choose to take a different path.
For example, using the Yun family's resources to do some buying and selling.
For example, one could use the Yun family to develop their own power.
She realized that relying on others was not an option.
However, one can rely on others to develop one's own strength.
He Ning looked at Yun Lianhua with undisguised disdain in his eyes.
"Whether you know you're wrong or not has nothing to do with me. Yun Lianhua, the reason I had Yun Zheng bring you in was to see how pathetic you are. Seeing you in such a miserable state puts my mind at ease."
He Ning's gaze fell on Yun Lianhua, and then he said, "Although you look disgusting, I think I can eat two more bowls of rice tonight. After all, I'm in a very good mood!"
Yun Chuwei: ...
Yun Zheng: ...
Yun Zheng whispered to Yun Chuwei, "When did Mother become like this? She seems so unfamiliar!"
Yun Chuwei didn't answer, but instead asked, "Isn't it good?"
Yun Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "That's good!"
He had initially worried that his mother would be soft-hearted and forgive Yun Lianhua out of their mother-daughter bond, but now he was no longer worried.
It seems that her mother not only has no intention of forgiving Yun Lianhua, but also intends to anger Yun Lianhua to death.
Yun Lianhua's face turned deathly pale. Her lips moved, but she could no longer utter a word.
Along the way, she also learned to read people's expressions, so she knew very well that He Ning would never forgive her!
So, she couldn't say anything.
At this moment, He Ning saw Yun Chuwei standing at the entrance of the main hall.
She waved to Yun Chuwei and said, "Weiwei, what are you doing standing in that windy spot? Come in!"
Yun Chuwei listened and went inside.
He Ning stood up, pulled Yun Chuwei to sit down, and said, "You're not feeling well, please sit down!"
Then she asked, "How was the palace banquet? Was it fun? Why didn't you go back to rest after you got back? What are you doing here?"
He Ning spoke softly to Yun Chuwei, his concern evident in his words.
Yun Lianhua looked at the scene and felt somewhat dazed.
There was a time when He Ning cared for her in the same way.
But she never cherished it.
At that time, she went to great lengths to please Yun Xian and Xie Sheng.
They even helped poison He Ning.
If she had understood some things sooner, perhaps she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
In fact, Yun Chuwei was absent for more than ten years.
She had more than ten years to improve herself and develop her abilities.
But she did nothing.
She truly regretted it!
