Even when the Marquis Mansion was still in peace, Mu Zhengyuan, as the third son of the old Marquis, had never thought of becoming an official and entering politics. The intrigues and complex changes in the officialdom were not suitable for him.
Mu Zhengyuan is a qualified businessman, and he is more suitable for a place like Yuecheng where he can do business stably.
Mu Zhengyuan knew that Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He treated him very well, so he separated from them for his own selfish reasons. After all, he felt guilty, and he didn't know how to speak.
He had already guessed what Mu Zhengyuan was thinking, and after hearing his hesitant words, Ruan He smiled with a relaxed smile, and comforted him: "I understand, Third Uncle, it's okay, you can stay in Yuecheng." , I can still take care of my grandmother. When we stabilize in the capital, we will come back to meet and reunite with you."
Mrs. Mu Tai is getting old, and she would feel lonely and uncomfortable without her children and juniors by her side. Mu Zhengyuan and her two children might as well stay here so that they can be taken care of.
There is a long road from Yuecheng to Beijing, thousands of miles apart.
They had already walked through it before when they were exiled, and it was hard for my grandmother to go there again.
Mrs. Mu Tai, Mu Yunxiao and others also listened clearly. In order to relieve Mu Zhengyuan's guilt, Mrs. Mu Tai also said cheerfully: "Just in time, stay with me. If you all leave, Now, I feel a little lonely and helpless if I stay here alone."
After hearing what his grandmother said, Mu Yunchao deliberately asked in a cheerful tone: "Grandma, didn't you just say that you might not stay?"
According to my grandmother, isn't she already certain that she will marry the old man in disguise?
"Chao'er, you dare to make fun of grandma?"
Mu Yunchao couldn't help but make a joke, and received a glare and a scolding from his grandmother. He was so frightened that he had to shut his mouth.
While they were talking and laughing, they had returned to the courtyard of the Mu family. Aunt Zong was cooking lunch with the Zhang family and her daughter. When they heard the door open, several people looked over.
When the matter of the pardon order was brought up, Aunt Zong and Zhang's mother and daughter agreed to go to the capital together after being surprised.
The whole family was chatting lively, and Mu Yunchao suddenly mentioned Mrs. Mutai's marriage. Aunt Zong and the others also smiled knowingly and made fun of their grandmother as expected.
The food cooked on the stove was just cooked. Aunt Zong brought the food to the table one by one, and the family sat around and had lunch.
None of them said it clearly, but everyone knew that with this pardon order, the day of separation was coming, and the opportunities for their family to sit together and eat together would become less and less in the future.
Halfway through lunch, there was a banging sound at the courtyard door. It was dinner time and we didn't know who would come over.
Since moving to the county town, the only people who would come to visit their home are the old ladies from the city lord's mansion, especially Mrs. Mutai who had just accepted the old lady's request to get married not long ago. When there was a knock on the door, everyone subconsciously I thought about that aspect.
Ruan He glanced at his grandmother with a smile on his lips. She happened to have almost finished the rice in her bowl, so she simply stood up and walked towards the courtyard gate.
When the door opened, the smile on her lips suddenly faded. She raised her eyebrows and stared unceremoniously at the uninvited guest outside, glancing indifferently.
Standing outside the house was someone they didn't expect.
Aunt Cui was standing at the door with her son and daughter-in-law, as if they had come in a hurry from the village. She looked a little hasty and was breathing unevenly. As soon as Chad saw the door open, Aunt Cui immediately looked at the huge mansion through the open door crack, and couldn't help showing a little jealousy.
I heard that the big house had taken over the city lord. No wonder he could live in such a big house in the county town. With so many people in his family still crowded into the small house in the exile village, how could he not make her jealous? Become crazy.
The jealous look on Aunt Cui's face only lasted for a moment, and she immediately put on a forced apologetic smile, clearly showing off her flattery.
"Xiaohe... the pardon order has been issued. We can go back to Beijing together. Our Mu family can live in Beijing again."
During the more than half a year when their second wife and family were exiled to Yuecheng, they were very tight on food and could not save much money at all. Now, if they want to return to the capital, they will naturally need a lot of travel expenses. In addition, there will be a lot of money after returning to the capital. The considerable expenses have stabilized, but Aunt Cui and her son have no money in their pockets and have no conditions to return to Beijing.
Their family couldn't stand the remote and boring exile village. They talked about the bustling capital every day. When they received the news of the emperor's amnesty, they were so happy that they wished they could grow wings and fly back to the capital.
After calming down, Aunt Cui discussed it with her son and daughter-in-law. They were short of money and could not come up with money to return to Beijing, so they could only shamelessly come over to flatter the big house, and maybe they could join their carriage back to Beijing.
Ruan He didn't want to talk to this shameless family at all. Hearing the sticky and flattering words squeezed out of Aunt Cui's throat, he felt that his ears were dirty, and the corners of his lips pulled out a cold arc. , glanced at their fawning faces, slammed the door, and returned to the dining table without any hesitation.
With the muffled sound of the door closing, the faces of Aunt Cui and her family suddenly darkened. They were already prepared to be ridiculed by the big house, but they did not expect that Ruan He would be so disrespectful and lock them up directly. Outside.
They looked at each other angrily for a few times, barely able to hold back the curse words that came to their mouths. The second-fang family was unwilling to be left outside for a long time before heading home angrily and cursing.
Ruan He's action of closing the door was crisp and smooth, leaving no chance for Aunt Cui, a shameless family member, to react.
The coldness between his brows and eyes suddenly dissipated, he sat down at the dining table comfortably and picked up his rice bowl again.
Mrs. Mutai glanced at the courtyard gate doubtfully, but saw no one. She asked casually: "Xiaohe, who is here?"
Originally, Ruan He wanted to say that he was here to beg for food.
But there are no beggars in Yue City.
Ruan He lowered his eyes and picked up a piece of warm and fragrant fish meat, and said casually, "It's the second room's family. They probably want to ride on our carriage back to Beijing together, but I ignored them."
Their family has almost drawn a clear line with the second roommate. After all, it was the second roommate who was anxious to leave them alone at that time. Aunt Cui had also done a lot of bad things, but now it was useless to join in eagerly.
"Bah, they are shameless." Mu Zhengbai cursed.
Mu Zhengbai had already learned that he was going back to the capital to enjoy the blessings, and he felt very happy when he heard that his second wife was angry. (End of chapter)
