Chapter 1810
She was reborn in this life, and her mission for the Northern Wing was finally accomplished today. From now on, she only wanted to find her husband, bring her children, and live an ordinary life.
The disputes in the court and the glitz of the capital city had exhausted her both physically and mentally. Now was the perfect time to withdraw.
The carriage swayed slowly for half a month before finally arriving at Zhucheng.
She and her eldest son were able to bear the bumpy journey, but her two daughters suffered greatly. Their already slender bodies looked even thinner, and the accompanying Madam Meng and several wet nurses were so distressed that they could not stop wiping tears.
Among the people who accompanied him, the most noteworthy was the eldest family. The eldest uncle Shi Chengyi came with his wife Yu Sujun and their youngest daughter Shi Anxue.
Shi Chengyi's departure was actually a request for transfer. He took the initiative to ask the court for an appointment and was appointed as the envoy of the Iron Horse City, responsible for the farming of military households, the salt and iron monopoly, and the border trade.
Compared with his official position in the capital, any discerning person could see that this was a demotion and a relocation.
However, Cheng Yi didn't care at all. What he had in mind was, first, he wanted to do some practical work at the border, and second, he couldn't bear to see his niece traveling alone.
My eldest aunt Yu Sujun followed her husband's lead. When Yunzhou, the only son, had to concentrate on preparing for the exam, he had to stay in Beijing.
When Shi Anxue heard that Ye Baoer had jumped off a cliff and disappeared, she cried and insisted on going to look for him.
The little girl cried and grew taller.
After everyone settled in Zhucheng Post Station, Shi Chengyi carefully considered the itinerary and suggested to Shi Anxia that they take the water route instead.
"This season is the time of autumn when the water is clear, with neither the summer rainstorms nor the winter winds. If we take the official ship instead, not only will the journey be smooth, but the two little girls will also suffer less from the bumps." He said this after checking the route of the river. "It is a bit of a detour, but I calculated that it will be at most a few days late."
Shi Anxia accepted it happily, "Uncle is right, I was not thoughtful enough and just wanted to hurry on."
"Then I'll arrange it." Shi Chengyi turned and left.
Shi Anxia suddenly called him, "Uncle..."
Shi Chengyi paused, turned his head, and looked at him tenderly, "Xia'er, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
At this moment, Shi Anxia finally smiled, "Uncle has gotten over the hurdle in his heart."
He became the man she respected and loved again, with a figure like pine or cypress and clear eyes.
And because he did not hold great power, he acted more cautiously.
Shi Anxia sincerely praised, "Uncle, you are a very good person."
It is better to turn back before it is too late. I hope that in this life, I will not have any more delusions.
Shi Chengyi blushed and lowered his eyes. He stood in front of his niece, not knowing what to do.
He reflected seriously for a whole year.
During this year, Shi Anxia's questions kept ringing in his ears.
She asked, "Uncle, do you know what you mean to me?"
She answered herself, "Yes, it's my father! Uncle, I have always regarded you as my father."
She added, "I regard you as my father, and it has nothing to do with my mother."
Because of her words, he reflected on himself every day and finally saw his ugly side.
On the surface, the source of everything came from Tang Chujun. In reality, it was just the darkness hidden in his heart that was causing trouble.
The autumn sun poured in from the windowsill, illuminating him. He finally bit out a sincere sentence from between his teeth, "In this world, only the Holy and Virtuous Emperor is worthy of your mother."
