Chapter 221 Parting Sorrows
Jiang Miaomiao opened her mouth wide.
She stared blankly at her mother.
For a moment, she even suspected that her mother was the one who had traveled from the past.
Her thoughts, her actions, her magnanimity—she's definitely a clear-headed, strong female lead.
Jiang Zifeng and Jiang Ziyan didn't notice anything wrong; their mother had always been like this, it was just that others didn't know it.
Qi Caiwei probably still can't understand how her dowry disappeared.
She never imagined that her mother's wealth was built on her dowry.
She never imagined that all the rent she paid would go into her mother's pocket.
Xiuxiu was very excited; she loved making money off Qi Caiwei the most.
It's a pity that she went back like that.
"Sister, are we just going to let her go back like this? That's too easy on her, otherwise..."
"What are you thinking about?" Lu Qingyao poked her forehead.
"Isn't it good for her to go back to Beijing? My husband is kind and his children are filial; I couldn't be more comfortable living like this."
"Hehe...that makes sense." Xiuxiu nodded, pursing her lips.
“I think so too. I will make sure Qi Caiwei finds Tao Tao and her mother’s house as soon as possible, and Tao Tao will also know the cause of her father’s death.” Mu Jiangyue patted her chest and assured her.
Finally, I can vent my anger for Yao Yao.
Qi Caiwei and her son left in a hurry.
Having learned from past mistakes, this time they left before dawn, before daybreak.
Jiang Zijin pulled her cloak tighter, clutched her handkerchief tightly, and leaned against her mother.
He remained tense throughout the journey.
I was afraid that something might happen on the way.
Because after they had walked for a while, she realized that Granny Gong was gone.
Thinking back on everything, she always felt that the old woman was strange and unsettling.
However, since he was sent by her maternal grandmother, it's not surprising that this happened, especially since she and her mother had never trusted her.
But his inexplicable disappearance was still unsettling.
Only when I looked through the swaying carriage curtain and saw that it was already broad daylight did I finally feel relieved.
Take a deep breath.
The air outside seemed fresher than that in Jiangzhou City.
Finally out! Finally, I can go back to the capital.
Looking at my mother sleeping soundly beside me, snoring away, her face looked more peaceful when she was asleep.
I'm very curious.
Born into such a family, how did my mother grow up and give birth to them safely?
Although this wasn't the mother she envisioned, having her by her side brought her a great deal of peace of mind.
As for his younger brother, Jiang Zipei.
Let him stay at Donglin Academy; there's no point in him going back.
Donglin Academy is the dream school of countless students. If it were someone else, a student of my younger brother's talent would not be qualified to enter. He was able to enter entirely thanks to his maternal grandfather.
Such an opportunity is rare.
Furthermore, Mother has caused trouble, and who knows what she will face upon returning to the capital.
It seems I'm not going to have a peaceful day anymore.
However, the journey back made her feel very at ease.
The next morning.
It is bright.
sunny.
The autumn wind swirled the leaves on the ground.
They followed the grand convoy into the distance.
Almost at the same time, everyone was leaving Jiangzhou.
The happier we were when we arrived, the sadder we were when we left.
But it's alright, since we're traveling together, we can be sentimental this once.
In ancient times, carriages and horses traveled slowly, and so did letters.
Who knows when we'll meet again?
Princess Liang and Princess Rong'an cried the most while holding Old Madam Cui; a married daughter will eventually leave home.
Princess Rong'an was the most reluctant to leave, turning back every few steps as she boarded the carriage.
This place and the people here changed her a lot, giving her and her mother a new lease on life.
And the people she cares about.
Aunt Jiang Yue and her younger aunt were also saddened, holding her and her mother tightly.
King Jing, who should have been happy to be traveling with his beloved, was shocked when he saw the little cub waving at them with tears in its eyes.
My nose suddenly felt a little sore.
I'm really reluctant to part with it; I wish I could bring it back to the capital.
Looking at Cao Jiayue in the maid's arms again, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
The child had just seen Miaomiao's little red bird, but then started crying and demanding that bird.
But that bird was just as cunning as its little owner.
It circled once above Cao Jiayue's head, making her jump up and down in excitement, reaching out to grab it.
result……
“Pah…”
A white blob landed on the little girl's forehead.
Cao Jiayue sobbed, repeatedly muttering, "It stinks...it stinks so bad...dead bird...kill it..."
"Princess, the bird flew away, we couldn't catch it," the maid replied while wiping the bird droppings.
A princess who is disliked even by birds is really not cute.
Song Siyuan covered his nose with a handkerchief. "Your Highness, perhaps... we could change to another carriage, or even ride horses..."
It stinks.
I don't know what this bird eats, it just smells really bad.
"Then let's ride horses," King Jing said helplessly.
This child is beyond saving…..
Having already suffered so many losses, why provoke that bird again? It's just asking for trouble.
Jiang Miaomiao looked at the gifts that King Jing gave to his brothers. He gave his eldest brother a book on military strategy and a fine sword, and his second brother a box of books.
Ancient books are very precious, especially original manuscripts.
To see if a family has a rich cultural heritage, just look at their collection of books.
Many people even consider books their lifeblood.
In ancient times, when people encountered war, they would take nothing but their collection of thousands of books with them as they fled.
To date, the family with the most books that Jiang Miaomiao has ever seen is the Cui family.
The entire building is filled with books, and there are people guarding it.
It's clear that Prince Jing has high hopes for his two elder brothers.
The Prince of Jing gave Jiang Miaomiao another jade pendant, saying that with this pendant, she could freely enter and leave the Prince of Jing's residence.
Jiang Miaomiao recalled the jade pendants in the small box, which seemed to be passes for various prefectures.
She hasn't used a single one yet.
Suddenly, I felt a sliver of anticipation for the capital.
After everyone had boarded the carriage, a huge object was carried out of the Cui residence.
It was the King of Liang, who had become so fat he was unrecognizable.
He's all fat and flabby from head to toe.
It took a lot of effort from more than a dozen guards to lift him out and put him into the carriage.
The carriage was specially made so that it could only accommodate him alone.
It's estimated that even moving it will be problematic, and they're likely to suffer along the way.
He chuckled at everyone, looking like a fool.
But it's really stupid.
When King Jing first arrived, he was quite startled and even suspected that someone might be plotting to harm King Liang.
They had someone investigate.
It can only be said that my great-uncle brought it upon himself; he was just too greedy and ate those things.
At first, he also thought there was something wrong with the food, but after checking, it turned out to be non-toxic.
Investigate again.
Yipinju also sells it, and I've personally tried it and there were no problems.
It's all because my great-uncle was too fond of food that he ended up in this terrible state.
He must have been incredibly unlucky to fall into the water and hit his head.
We should take him back to the capital and have the imperial physician examine him.
Jiang Miaomiao felt a little guilty.
Looking at my round little belly, I swear I'll never eat those weight-gain supplements again.
terror!
Being this obese, high blood pressure and diabetes will inevitably follow.
He's practically useless.
Everyone has to live a few years less.
