The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent
Chapter 178: Dispatching, the mysterious team
After Ye Xiaohan finished acupuncture, he returned to his study to handle official business. He was looking at the memorial in his hand seriously.
A man in black half-knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, we have killed all the Dragon Staff Guards that were following the carriage."
"Don't leave any traces." Ye Xiaohan didn't even raise his head.
"Yes! The news they sent back indicated that the mission was very successful. No trace was left behind. The Emperor could not find out who killed his secret guards."
"Well," Ye Xiaohan opened another book, "Also, continue to distribute the letters to the residences of various officials tonight."
After Ye Xiaohan finished giving his orders, he waved his hand and asked the man in black to retreat.
Wei Bai stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you send the Cold Shadow Guards to destroy the Dragon Staff Team that is tracking the carriage?"
The prince sent another powerful team under his command, which was secretive and rarely went on missions. Last time, the prince also sent this team to destroy the lair of a group of assassins of the emperor.
Ye Xiaohan put down the memorial and said, "The dragon staff team sent by the emperor is far away from the capital. We can draw out one of our hidden teams to mobilize personnel more flexibly."
Wei Bo confirmed his guess, "So that's how it is."
Ye Xiaohan said again: "Han Yingwei stays, there are important things to do."
"Do we still need to send two Hanying Guards to look after the princess? You transferred Ying San and Ying Liu back from Qichiyuan the day before yesterday." Wei Bai temporarily took over Wei Song's duties and was also responsible for the guarding and security of the mansion.
"No, there is no need to send shadow guards to secretly monitor the princess anymore."
Wei Bai opened his lips slightly, with a mysterious smile on his face. Is the prince trying to improve his relationship with the princess?
Ye Xiaohan continued to correct the memorials. Seeing that Wei Bai had no intention of leaving, he asked, "Anything else?"
Wei Bo hesitated, but still said, "Wei Song...is seriously injured and has a high fever. Fu Qian has already gone to see him. Your Majesty, do you want to go see Wei Song?"
"No." Ye Xiaohan didn't hesitate at all.
"Okay," Wei Bo said without surprise, "I'll go down first, Your Majesty, you can get busy."
Not long after Wei Bai left, several people came in exhausted. They were the secret guards who were delivering a letter to Duke Meng at the border of Nantai.
A secret guard took out a letter and two rectangular boxes from his arms.
"Your Majesty, this is the reply letter from Duke Meng and something for the princess. Can I open it and let you check it?"
"No, just give it to the princess."
Ye Xiaohan asked a few more questions about the Meng family’s reaction after receiving the letter, and then asked the secret guard to report the situation truthfully to Yun Mujiu.
Yun Mujiu was resting, thinking about the past between his mother and Yun Xiang in his memory.
When I heard that the secret guard had sent a reply, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Previously, she wanted to break the stiff relationship between her mother Meng Wanzhou and the Meng family, and to find out whether there was any mystery about her life experience, so she wrote a greeting letter to the Meng family.
In the letter, she first briefly stated that she was now married and no longer in the Yun Mansion, and then she sincerely asked about the recent situation of her grandfather, Duke Meng, her uncle, Meng Shihao, and her aunt, Jiang.
She didn't know how the people in the Meng Mansion treated her...
Back then, the relationship between Meng and Duke Meng was so strained that they had no contact for many years. Eighteen years had passed, and things and people had changed. I wonder how the Meng family would view her.
Ye Xiaohan sent several secret guards to deliver the letter, and the one who came to see her now was one of the secret guard representatives. Yun Mujiu saw that the secret guard who came back from delivering the letter looked tired and his clothes were covered with dust, and she knew that the journey was not easy.
Yun Mujiu took out a few silver bills with larger amounts and asked Chunlan to hand them to the secret guard.
The man shook his head repeatedly, "Princess, this is what we should do. The prince asked us to deliver a letter for you, so you don't have to be polite."
Yun Mujiu said in a deep voice: "The prince has rewarded you, so I should also give you a share. If you don't accept it, you are not giving me face."
The man couldn't refuse, so he kowtowed to thank the man, then took the banknote with both hands.
Yun Mujiu looked at the letter and box on the table and asked, "What is the reaction of the Meng family?"
The man replied respectfully, "We asked the concierge to report to Duke Meng that you, the princess, had written a letter. The people in the Meng residence were very surprised and invited us in after confirming our identities. Duke Meng treated us to tea and after reading the letter, he asked about the prince and you."
"Although the masters of the Meng Mansion were very surprised, they still seemed to care about you, Princess. After reading your letter, Duke Meng even... wiped his eyes..."
Yun Mujiu opened his eyes wide, what?
Rumor has it that Duke Meng was a majestic and powerful man when he was young, a tough guy who fought on the battlefield, but he actually cried because of a letter from a granddaughter he had never met!
Yun Mujiu pondered for a while before waving her hand and asking the secret guards to leave. She stayed in the room alone, staring at the letter.
She had never thought of relying on the Meng family for anything. She just felt that she should contact the Meng family, the only family she had blood ties with, to make up for the regrets of the deceased original owner and the Meng family.
If the Meng family ignored her, she would not contact them again. If the Meng family wanted to contact her, she would treat them accordingly. She didn't know anyone in the Meng family at all, she had never even met them, so she wouldn't have any deep feelings for them...
Yun Mujiu quickly opened the envelope and read the contents carefully.
This letter was written by my grandfather, Duke Meng, and it reads as follows:
First, he expressed his surprise and joy at receiving the letter. He never thought that Yun Mujiu would take the initiative to contact him.
Second, the concern for Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu, and the blessing for their wedding.
He explained that there was a heavy snowstorm in the border area some time ago, and the roads were blocked, so he failed to receive news from the outside world in time. In addition, the Yun Mansion did not inform the Meng Mansion about Yun Mujiu's sudden change of marriage, so the Meng Mansion did not know that Yun Mujiu was married until they received the letter.
Third, the Meng family will soon move back to the capital and will come to visit the Ye Mansion. Duke Meng also briefly introduced himself, his son and daughter-in-law, and his grandson Meng Ninglang.
After reading the letter, Yun Mujiu became a little excited.
Between the lines of Duke Meng's words, all of them revealed the care of the elders for the younger generation. She thought that the Meng family might contact her, but she didn't expect it to be so kind and sincere.
At the end of the letter, it was mentioned that he had brought some things for Yun Mujiu, and would prepare some wedding gifts for Yun Mujiu when he returned to the capital.
Yun Mujiu smiled faintly and opened the long box. Inside was a Pisces jade pendant, a golden phoenix hairpin, and a stack of rolled up papers.
"Hey, why is there a ball of paper?"
Yun Mujiu opened it and saw that the papers were all land deeds.
The more she looked, the more shocked she became. She kept flipping through the papers. There were dozens of deeds, most of which were shops on busy streets in the capital. The remaining deed was for a large house in the center of the capital, and another was for a large house in the suburbs.
Yun Mujiu was confused. Was the Meng Mansion going to be emptied? Even if his grandfather agreed, wouldn't his uncle, aunt, and cousin have any objections?
Yun Mujiu turned to the last piece of paper. It was not a deed, but an ordinary piece of paper with words written by his grandfather on it.
He said that Yun Mujiu could take the Pisces jade pendant and the land deed to manage the shop, and all the profits of the shop would belong to Yun Mujiu. If he didn't have time to manage it, it would be fine, because the shop was managed by the loyal subordinates of the Meng Mansion, and Yun Mujiu could just go and check it out occasionally and withdraw the money when the time came.
Also, if Yun Mujiu doesn't have a good time in Ye Mansion, he can move to the big mansion, or move to Meng Mansion when they return to Beijing.
