The foolish girl returns, and the regent becomes a wife-loving madman

When Xie Lingxiao arrived at the bedroom, he saw Shen Jingxuan and Yun Qingmo sitting outside the bedroom chatting from afar.

Looking at the smiles on Shen Jingxuan and Yun Qingmo's faces, Xie Lingxiao's dark eyebrows slightly frowned.

Even though so much time had passed and even though he knew what Shen Jingxuan was thinking, he still felt uncomfortable whenever he saw her smiling at other men.

He stood there quietly watching the two people talking and laughing, and for a moment he seemed to be frozen, unable to move.

Shen Jingxuan raised her eyes and saw him standing motionless in the distance, and she came towards him with a smile on her face.

"Why are you standing here instead of going over?" She pulled Xie Lingxiao to sit next to Yun Qingmo.

Xie Lingxiao smiled and said, "Seeing that you two were chatting happily, I didn't go over to disturb you."

Yun Qingmo had a faint smile on his face and looked at the two of them without saying anything.

Being able to see her with the one she loves and living the life she likes, nothing else seems so important.

Shen Jingxuan said: "I heard from Ah Mo that you want to make him the first imperial merchant?"

"Yeah." Xie Lingxiao responded lightly.

Shen Jingxuan curved her eyebrows and said, "That's great. Ah Mo likes doing business. Now that he has become the number one royal merchant, he must want to try out all the things he has never been exposed to before."

"Axuan still knows me best." Yun Qingmo smiled faintly.

His words fell into Xie Lingxiao's ears, and his already slightly furrowed brows furrowed even tighter.

Yun Qingmo looked at Xie Lingxiao and raised his eyebrows, and said softly: "Ah Xuan, now I am the number one imperial merchant. After the imperial decree is announced, I will leave for a while. Just regard it as saying goodbye to you in advance."

Shen Jingxuan paused when she heard this, and felt a little happy for him when she thought about how impatient he was.

"You really want to make money? And you don't seem to be short of money."

"Xuan'er, you don't know that I promised the emperor to hand over two million taels of silver to the national treasury, so I must earn money quickly, otherwise I will not be able to support my family."

Shen Jingxuan smiled and said, "That's right. Don't let the time come when you choose a girl and don't have money to prepare a betrothal gift."

Without waiting for Yun Qingmo to speak, Shen Jingxuan pursed her lips and said, "Amo, don't leave secretly this time. If possible, I hope you can let Ying'er know."

Otherwise that silly girl would have to wait like that, not knowing how long she would have to wait.

Yun Qingmo hesitated for a while, then said in a low voice: "Okay."

He would satisfy all her requests, and he would try his best to accomplish what she thought and worried about.

Hearing Yun Qingmo's words, Shen Jingxuan smiled a little more. She pursed her lips and looked at Yun Qingmo.

"Amo, now that I'm pregnant, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you off when you leave."

"really?"

Yun Qingmo glared at Xie Lingxiao and continued, "Why should we be so polite? Even if you didn't see me off, I wouldn't blame you."

"When the baby is born, I will rush back in time to watch him being born with my own eyes."

The last time he was delayed by things outside, when he returned to Shangjing City, the two children were already one month old. This time he would not miss it.

"Okay." Shen Jingxuan responded with a smile.

Yun Qingmo sat for a while, then said goodbye to Shen Jingxuan and Xie Lingxiao and left the palace.

Thinking of Shen Jingxuan's words, I didn't know how to meet Jiang Shaoying for a moment, and I didn't know how to tell her that I was leaving.

He had been thinking about the last conversation between Shen Jingxuan and him at Qianyu Chamber of Commerce, but in the end he couldn't bear to trap such a good girl by his side.

Things that have no results will not bring joy and happiness even if they are forced together.

It will only cause more trouble to both of them.

Yun Qingmo went straight out of the palace, and all the way he kept thinking about how to tell Jiang Shaoying about this matter.

But he didn't expect to meet Jiang Shaoying halfway.

The two of them stood far away, looking at each other, speechless for a while.

After a while, Yun Qingmo covered his lips and coughed lightly, then came to Jiang Shaoying's side: "Miss Jiang."

"Yes. Mr. Yun." Jiang Shaoying called him lightly.

After greeting each other, the two didn't know what to say next and just looked at each other quietly.

Yun Qingmo's eyes flashed, and he told her softly what happened in the palace.

After saying this, without waiting for Jiang Shaoying to come to her senses, he stood up and walked away.

Jiang Shaoying's gaze followed his figure closely, and her eyes had already been flushed.

She looked at Yun Qingmo's back quietly until he disappeared in front of her, then she turned and walked towards the palace.

Jiang Shaoying walked slowly to the palace. The guards at the palace gate already knew her identity and did not try to stop her.

She had a smooth journey and arrived at Shen Jingxuan's bedroom.

"Your Majesty, Miss Jiang is outside the palace and wants to see you." Ling Huan opened the palace door and reported.

Shen Jingxuan was slightly stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that Jiang Shaoying would come just after Yun Qingmo left.

Carefully calculating the time when Yun Qingmo left, Shen Jingxuan seemed to have discovered the purpose of Jiang Shaoying's visit.

"Let her in." She looked at Ling Huan and said.

Xie Lingxiao glanced at Shen Jingxuan, "I'm going to the imperial study to take care of some things, and I'll be back to accompany you later."

"Okay." Shen Jingxuan responded softly.

When Xie Lingxiao walked out of the palace gate, he happened to meet Jiang Shaoying. After the two looked at each other and nodded slightly, Jiang Shaoying walked into the bedroom and found a chair to sit down.

Seeing that she was in a low mood, Shen Jingxuan didn't know how to persuade her.

Seeing her sitting there alone, staring at the ground, wondering what she was thinking, Shen Jingxuan teased, "Why? Did you come to my place just to be alone and in a daze?"

Hearing Shen Jingxuan's words, Jiang Shaoying forced a smile: "Of course I came to see you."

Shen Jingxuan said: "Ying'er, I didn't know that there was my figure on the ground."

"Did you meet Amo when you entered the palace?"

She didn't need to think about it too much, just looking at her expression she knew it must be because of this.

Only things related to Yun Qingmo would make her like this.

Jiang Shaoying paused as he looked into Shen Jingxuan's eyes, "Xuan'er, how long will he be gone this time?"

In the past few years, she has stayed in Shangjing City alone, and Yun Qingmo has been wandering around alone. She doesn't know how long she can endure this kind of life.

In the past, each time I left, it would last from one or two months at the least to half a year at the longest.

This time he has just been named the No. 1 Imperial Merchant, and he will probably be away for even longer.

She even worried that Yun Qingmo had been away for too long, and that when he appeared again, there might be other women around him.

If that's the case, what's the point of all her waiting all these years?

Shen Jingxuan knew that she felt bad, but love is a matter between two people, and it is not appropriate for her to get too involved.

"I don't know. Maybe if everything goes well, it will take a shorter time. If not, I don't know how long it will take."

Jiang Shaoying's eyes turned red when she heard Shen Jingxuan's words. She tried to hold back her tears and choked up, "I wonder how long it will take?"

In the blink of an eye, her tears fell, and she gently covered her cheeks and said, "Xuan'er, I'm really worried. I'm afraid I can't hold on that long."

"Every time I wanted to give up, his figure and his smile kept flashing in my mind, which made me unable to make up my mind."

"But I really can't abandon Daddy and follow in his footsteps. I'm even more afraid that Daddy will be alone and he won't let me follow him..."

After Jiang Shaoying finished speaking, she lay on her legs and cried bitterly.

Shen Jingxuan quickly came to her side, held her in her arms, and patted her back gently to comfort her.

"Ying'er, at most one year. He said that when my child is born, he will come back to watch the birth with his own eyes."

"I didn't know whether he would keep his word, so I didn't tell you."

Jiang Shaoying slowly raised her head, tears on her cheeks hanging at the corners of her eyes, about to fall.

She knew that if Yun Qingmo said so, he would definitely come back as agreed.

Just because that person is Shen Jingxuan.

"A year... is a long time..." She murmured softly with her eyes lowered.

Shen Jingxuan said: "Ying'er, if you are really worried, why don't you give it a try? It's better than continuing like this."

Thinking of what Jiang Shaoying had just said, Shen Jingxuan continued: "Dad, don't worry, I will take care of him."

Jiang Shaoying thought about what Shen Jingxuan said over and over again, and his eyes gradually became firm.
