After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Liu Guangwen, the head of the Liu family, is now the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture. His two sons also hold important positions in the local area. They must be used to bullying others outside.

Although I had given myself a mental reminder before entering the capital, I knew that I couldn't be as arrogant as I was in Taiyuan Prefecture when I came to this capital where many big shots gathered. I must be careful in what I said and did and protect myself.

But today everyone was so angry that they had nowhere to vent their anger. First, Prince Ning's Mansion broke their promise and no one came to pick them up, and then the city gate was blocked by these people and they couldn't get in.

Not only was Liu Guangwen unwilling to endure it any longer, but Xu Muyun in the carriage behind was also furious. He immediately opened the curtain and said to the guards outside:

"Go ask them how long it will take. Are you trying to freeze someone to death by dawdling? I see they are all big, strong men. It doesn't matter if they wait outside for a while. Why don't you let us go in first?"

"Yes, little one, go right here."

Xu Muyun's words were completely an order. Although the guard was a little nervous after hearing it, he still trotted to find the captain of the guard and repeated his original words to him.

Since his wife was willing to take the lead, Liu Guangwen was happy to save himself the trouble. He waved to the captain of the guard, indicating that he should just follow his orders.

Liu Guangwen usually doesn't argue with his wife Xu Muyun.

Because he often had to rely on the relationship with the Ning Wang Mansion, the couple had treated each other with respect and lived in harmony over the years.

When the guards went over, they played a little trick and carried out the signboard of Prince Ning's Mansion. They thought it was a foolproof thing, but it turned out to be the opposite of what they wanted.

"Someone from Prince Ning's Mansion?"

After hearing the report from the gatekeeper, Song Yiheng, who was drinking tea with someone in the lounge in the city gate tower, became interested.

"Since he is from Prince Ning's Mansion, the eldest son..."

The city gate guard accompanying Song Yiheng was a little embarrassed and looked at Song Yiheng tentatively.

"Or let someone go in first..."

Although Song Yiheng does not hold an official position now, his aunt is the queen, and even the emperor trusts him very much, so he still has some face in the outside world.

This time the mine had produced honeycomb coal by working overtime, so the emperor gave the task to him.

He is responsible for everything, including the subsequent sales and transportation.

"If they are really from Prince Ning's Mansion, we can certainly give way to them first. But as far as I know, people from Prince Ning's Mansion rarely do things so ostentatiously. Let's wait and see. What if someone takes advantage of the situation by impersonating us? It doesn't matter if we get fooled, but if we delay His Majesty's business, who will bear the responsibility?"

When he heard that there were hundreds of people in the convoy outside, Song Yiheng thought of what Yuxiu had told them before.

In this case, this convoy is most likely the family of Xu Muyun, the old aunt of Prince Ning's Mansion, returning to Beijing.

Not to mention that this woman is really shameless. She has been married out of Prince Ning's Mansion for decades, but she still uses her mother's family's name to bully others.

If Song Yiheng was not here today, how could a small city gate guard dare to go against the Ning Prince's Mansion? Besides, the Ning Prince's Mansion has a good reputation in the capital, so these people would naturally be happy to do them a favor.

"Your Excellency's words make sense. Let them line up obediently behind you to enter the city."

After listening to Song Yiheng's words, he felt cold sweat dripping down his head. He nodded repeatedly and quickly sent the guards out to guard it well.

Anyway, they are doing things according to the rules. No matter who comes today, they have to abide by the order.

"What? They don't agree!"

The guard came back dejected and reported, which made Xu Muyun very angry. He immediately picked up a teacup on the small table and threw it at the guard.

Fortunately, the guard was wearing thick clothes, so after being hit like this, only the half cup of water inside wet a part of his clothes, and there were no other problems.

"Didn't you say we were from Prince Ning's Mansion?"

Xu Muyun took two deep breaths and then let out a loud roar, which frightened the Second Young Master's wife so much that she hugged the child tightly in her arms, shrank back and dared not speak.

"I told them... I told them, but they refused to listen. They insisted that no matter who came, they had to queue up, even if it was Prince Ning's Mansion..."

The guard lowered his head to report while secretly raising his vigilance, fearing that some "hidden weapon" would fly out of the carriage and injure him.

"This is outrageous! I don't know what they did in the capital to make the Ning Wang Mansion lose face to this extent..."

Xu Muyun's face turned pale and red. She never thought that it might be her fault. Instead, she blamed the people in Prince Ning's Mansion for not knowing how to manage the business, which caused her to be humiliated here today.

"Don't talk about those things...it won't be good if someone hears it."

Seeing that Xu Muyun was about to get angry again, Liu Guangwen hurried over, gave his wife a soothing look, took out a bulging purse from his arms and handed it to the guard.

"Go again and discuss it with them. We have elderly people and children here, so it's really not advisable for us to stay outside for a long time."

After the guard took the purse, he quickly agreed and trotted towards the city gate again.

"With our status, why should we get angry with those gatekeepers?"

Liu Guangcheng smiled gently and glanced at Xu Muyun. As his daughter-in-law and grandchildren were all sitting in the carriage, he couldn't say anything else. He just comforted him with a few words and told him to leave the matter to him.

Xu Muyun also knew that now was not the time to lose his temper. The most important thing was to get to the city as soon as possible and settle the family down first.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Maybe it's because I've been traveling for days that I can't control my temper."

Although Xu Muyun was not considered very gentle on a daily basis, he always looked very kind and smiling most of the time.

Even if she is made angry by others, she rarely loses her temper. If there is anything, she basically leaves it to her most capable mother to do it. She herself has a good reputation for being kind-hearted.

Soon the guard came back, with the purse in his hand still covered with some snow. It seemed that he took the purse, looked at it, and then threw it on the ground with disdain.

Liu Guangyi was at a loss now. Everyone was already very angry, but they didn't dare to act wildly here, so they could only wait in the carriage in frustration.

While praying that these people would check faster, they also kept looking up in the direction of the city, hoping to see the people sent by Prince Ning's Mansion to greet them.

In Prince Ning’s mansion.

Yuxiu had already come out of Ning Wangfei's courtyard, but there was still no movement outside. She was wondering if those people were not coming, when she saw the Second Madam and her maids coming hurriedly. When she looked carefully, she could see that her eyes were a little wet.
