The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Three days later, at the gate of the capital, Zhao Che personally helped his old father onto the carriage. He looked at his two children standing beside the carriage and said, "Jun Huan, Jun Le, you two must take good care of your grandfather and don't cause trouble outside..."

Seeing that his son was chattering endlessly, the old prime minister raised his beard and interrupted him!

"Alright, alright, just do your job with peace of mind. With Lin Xi here, what can possibly happen to me?"

When Zhao Che heard his father speak, he glanced at Zhao Junle who was making a face at him, took a step back with Leng Linglong, who was reluctant to leave the old prime minister, Zhao Junhuan and Zhao Junle, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed respectfully to the old prime minister to say goodbye.

"Uncle, aunt, we are leaving. It's cold outside. You should return home quickly. If you are free in the future, please come to Linshan Village to find us."

Seeing General Cao and Cao Zhu riding over on horseback and everyone was there, Lin Xi walked up to Zhao Che and Leng Linglong who had just stood up, and bowed and said goodbye to the two with moist eyes.

"Xi'er, be careful on the road! Dad, I'll accompany my husband for a while and then go to Linshan Village to find you. Then I'll go hunting and fishing with you in the mountains!"

Leng Linglong was very much looking forward to the life in Linshan Village that the kids talked about. She first patted Lin Xi on the shoulder, then shouted to the old prime minister in the car. The old prime minister agreed with a smile, while Zhao Che looked at his wife with resentment.

"Let's go!"

Lin Xi smiled, jumped on the horse, flicked the whip in his hand, and rode away!

Zhao Junhuan and Zhao Junle followed closely in their carriages, followed by General Cao and Cao Zhu, and the kids from Linshan Village followed at the end.

"Your Majesty, since you are here, why don't you go down and see Miss Lin off in person?"

Leng Yi saw Jun Moyue staring at Lin Xi's increasingly smaller back and asked in confusion.

"We'll see each other again soon, it won't take a moment!"

Jun Moyue retracted his gaze, threw off his cloak, and strode down the city wall. He wanted to complete his plan quickly so that he could reunite with Lin Xi sooner.

"See you again soon?"

Leng Yi repeated Jun Moyue's words, feeling somewhat confused. Only he and Zhao Che knew Jun Moyue's plan, and Leng Yi was still unaware of it. Seeing that Jun Moyue had gone far away, Leng Yi quickly used his Qinggong to catch up with him.

At this time, at a corner of the city gate, Wang Shuer and her maid walked out from behind the city wall, looking at Cao Zhu's disappearing back, and remained silent for a long time!

"Miss, you have waited for General Cao for so many years. Are you just going to watch him go away? When he came to say goodbye to the Marquis yesterday, he said that unless there were special circumstances, he would not return to the capital. Won't you regret it?"

The little maid looked at Wang Shuer who had a lonely face and asked distressedly that her young lady had been chasing after that Young General Cao for so many years, but Young General Cao just left like that without even a word of explanation. She really felt sorry for her young lady.

"He actually came to me a few days ago and asked me if I wanted to go to Linshan Village with him. If I went with him, he would stay in the capital temporarily and ask for my hand in marriage from the Anyang Marquis's Mansion. After marrying me, he would take me to live in Linshan Village. It was me who rejected him!"

Wang Shuer wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a distraught tone.

"Miss, why are you doing this? Haven't you been thinking about marrying General Cao all these years? Why did you refuse when he asked you to do so?"

The little maidservant was so anxious that she stamped her feet, and she didn't understand Wang Shuer's behavior at all.

"Mother fainted suddenly a few days ago, and my eldest brother went to the palace to invite an imperial physician for her. The physician said that mother had an old illness and would be fine if she took good care of herself. However, she was extremely angry, sad, and happy during this period, which damaged her health. She has at most two years to live! Since I entered the Anyang Earl's Mansion, mother has brought me up by her side and raised me as if I were her own child. Now that she is not in good health, I must cherish these two years, accompany her well, and take care of her until the end of her life! After mother passes away, I will go to that small mountain village to find Brother Cao Zhu!"

Wang Shuer's mind flashed through the past years between her, the old lady, and Cao Zhu. The corners of her mouth curled up, but tears flowed from her eyes.

"Miss, I know you value the relationship between you and the old lady, but you have to think about yourself. If the old lady passes away in two years, you will have to observe mourning for three years according to the rules. And General Cao is not young anymore. What if he has married and had children by then? How will you find a good marriage at your age?"

The little maid was an orphan, rescued by Wang Shuer many years ago when she was following Anyang Bo to deliver food to Cao Zhu. Wang Shuer treated her like a little sister and always put her own lady first in everything.

"If he has someone he likes and has married and started a family, then I, Wang Shuer, will not bother to compete with others for him or share a husband with other women. At that time, I will take you around the world, okay? Let's take a good look at the scenery in this world. In the past few years, I have traveled to many places with my eldest brother. Now when I think about it, I really miss the days outside!"

Wang Shuer raised her head, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked proud.

"Okay, I have been learning Kung Fu from the martial arts teacher in the mansion for several years. I will take Miss on a tour!"

In the little maid's heart, she felt that the marriage between Cao Zhu and her young lady was hopeless, so she forced an ugly smile, patted her chest and said to Wang Shuer.

Wang Shuer scratched the maid's nose, and the master and servant turned around and got on the carriage waiting on the side and returned to the Anyang Earl's Mansion.

"Mom, this is the bird's nest porridge I just made, please try it!"

As soon as Wang Shu'er returned to Anyang Marquis' Mansion, she went into the kitchen. Half an hour later, she personally carried a porcelain cup to the old lady's room, sat down beside her bed, scooped up a spoonful of bird's nest porridge, blew it carefully, and then brought it to the old lady's mouth.

"Didn't you go and send Cao Zhu off? You didn't even take a break after coming back, but instead went to work for an old woman like me!"

Although the old lady had no appetite, she still opened her mouth and swallowed a spoonful of bird's nest porridge. Looking at Wang Shuer's slightly red eyes, she sighed and said.

"What are you saying, mother? Serving you is what I, as a daughter, should do."

Wang Shuer was very happy to see the old lady eating the bird's nest porridge. She scooped up another spoonful and fed it to her, saying with a smile.

"Shu'er, I, as your mother, have delayed you! I know you won't leave me and Cao Zhu, but I have to consider you, so I arranged a marriage for you without telling you!"

The old lady took out the red and green paper from under her pillow with some effort and handed it to Wang Shuer.

"Mother, my daughter should not marry someone else!"

Wang Shuer felt like the sky was falling at this moment. The porcelain spoon in her hand fell to the ground and broke into two pieces. She didn't care about the bird's nest porridge spilled on her body. She tightly grasped the old lady's hand with a pleading look on her face. Tears as big as beans kept rolling down her eyes!
