Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Yuan Wei knew that Hanlan had fallen and had a premature and difficult labor, but Jia Min did not allow her to get too involved in the matter and only asked her to look after Daiyu in the main courtyard.

Although Yuan Wei had doubts in her heart, she decided to follow Jia Min's arrangements and stay in the main courtyard.

As night fell, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai still had not returned, and she guessed that things might not be going well.

Sure enough, when Jia Min dragged her exhausted body and followed Lin Ruhai back to the main courtyard, Yuan Wei noticed that Lin Ruhai had a gloomy face, while Jia Min had a blank expression.

When Jia Min saw Yuan Wei, she forced a smile at her and asked her to go back first.

Yuan Wei looked at Jia Min, then at Lin Ruhai. Although she was full of suspicion, she did not dare to ask more questions. She bowed and left.

On the way, Xiang'er told Yuan Wei: "Miss Hanlan had a difficult delivery. The child was not saved, and even the adults..."

This news made Yuan Wei pause, a hint of surprise flashed across her face, then she slowly regained her composure and continued to move forward.

The agency was too smart to calculate, and it wasted Qingqing's life.

This poem was originally used to describe Wang Xifeng, but now it is so appropriate to describe Hanlan.

If she had not been so ambitious and plotted against Jia Min, this disaster would not have happened.

It's just cause and effect.

The next day, everything in the Lin Mansion was normal, as if nothing had happened yesterday.

Even Lin Ruhai didn't notice anything unusual and went to the yamen to work as usual.

As for what he was thinking, no one knew.

The days passed by little by little, and it felt like I had just put on my heavy winter clothes and it was time to change into spring clothes.

That day, Yuan Wei packed her luggage and came to say goodbye to Jia Min. She was going back to Suzhou to get married.

The wedding is in a month.

Jia Min tried several times to persuade her to marry in the Lin family or in Yangzhou, but Yuan Wei always felt it was inappropriate.

The most important thing is that she felt that the original owner should have wanted to get married in Gusu. She fell there and should want to stand up there.

What's more, her parents were buried in Gusu.

Yuan Wei has never been back since she came to Yangzhou. Although she has set up a memorial tablet in her own house and worships from time to time, and often burns incense and prays in temples outside Yangzhou City, it is still different from going back in person.

Now that she is about to get married, she feels that she should return to Gusu to pay homage.

Over the years, she had arranged for the servants of the Yuan family to manage the outside businesses. This time, she notified them in advance and asked them to return to Gusu to clean up the house first.

When Jia Min saw her, she looked reluctant and asked with concern, "Have you packed up yet?"

Yuan Wei took Lin Daiyu from the nurse's hands and gently touched her forehead. After confirming that she was no longer feverish, she smiled and replied, "I'm all packed, aunt. I'm leaving soon. Everyone is waiting."

Lin Daiyu snuggled up to Yuan Wei's arms, blinking her big eyes and calling softly, "Sister."

Watching this scene, Jia Min couldn't help but sigh, "Look at her like this. She's going to faint from crying when she finds out you're gone."

Yuan Wei gently pinched Lin Daiyu's face and comforted her, "That's not the case, right, Yu'er?"

Lin Daiyu nodded obediently and hugged Yuan Wei's arm tightly.

Yuan Wei patted Lin Daiyu's back gently, her heart filled with reluctance.

She carried Lin Daiyu to the side, and the two sisters were whispering to each other.

Only Lin Daiyu was still not very good at speaking, only able to utter a few words, but Yuan Wei did not care and kept talking to her, for she knew that Lin Daiyu could understand.

After a while she asked, "Do you remember it clearly?"

Lin Daiyu nodded.

"What are you whispering about?" Jia Min took Lin Daiyu and asked curiously.

Jia Min originally wanted to follow Yuan Wei back to Suzhou to see her off to get married, but Lin Daiyu had a slight fever these two days, and she was diagnosed with pregnancy, so it was not advisable for her to travel far.

She couldn't go with Yuan Wei anymore, as Jia Min was worried that Daiyu would get angry.

The little guy has a stubborn temper and doesn't speak much, but he understands a lot.

Seeing her leave Yuan Wei's arms so obediently, she was extremely surprised.

"This is our secret, I can't tell you." Yuan Wei said mysteriously.

Without waiting for Jia Min to say anything else, Yuan Wei bowed solemnly to Jia Min and said, "Aunt, I have to go now."

Jia Min's heart ached, and tears nearly fell. She suppressed her sorrow and said, "It is my aunt who is sorry for you. I cannot personally send you off to marry."

"Aunt, please don't say that! How could your upbringing and love for me over the years be fake? This is not a special situation, the conditions do not allow it!"

Yuan Wei gently wiped Jia Min's tears and said softly, "Look, our Yu'er hasn't even cried yet, but you started crying first."

Lin Daiyu hid in Jia Min's arms and called for her mother in a low voice.

Jia Min quickly patted Lin Daiyu, then wiped her tears and told the wet nurse to take the child out.

Then, she asked Hanmei to take out a box and handed it to Yuan Wei, saying, "This is the dowry I prepared specially for you. I originally planned to give it to you when you got married, but I can't accompany you to Gusu, so I had to give it to you in advance."

Yuan Wei shook her head and refused to accept the gift, "Aunt, you've already given me a dowry once!"

This time she returned to Gusu not alone, but with a whole team of carriages.

Jia Min had already prepared a generous dowry for her.

She treats Yuan Wei as her own daughter and loves her so dearly. Her deep affection is very touching.

Yuan Wei knew that this favor was too great to bear.

Jia Min, however, insisted on stuffing the box into Yuan Wei's hands and explained, "Those I gave you before were given on behalf of the Lin family, and the things in this box are given to you by me."

Without giving her a chance to refuse, Jia Min continued, "I'll have the second housekeeper and Nanny Zhao go back with you. They'll help you with everything. Just wait for your wedding with peace of mind."

At this point, Jia Min's voice choked up, "Let's go, I won't see you off, it will only make you sadder."

Yuan Wei knelt down and kowtowed to her, "Aunt, wait for me, I will be back soon and will come to pay my respects to you then."

After saying that, Yuan Wei got up and walked out. If she didn't leave now, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears.

Anyway, she will have to follow Su Yuebai back to Yangzhou later.

Lin Ruhai asked Su Yuebai to come to Yangzhou after getting married. He would personally supervise and guide Su Yuebai in his studies. The next year, Su Yuebai would go to Beijing to take part in the imperial examination.

She had already said goodbye to Lin Ruhai last night. Lin Ruhai didn't say much, but just asked her to bring Su Yuebai back to Yangzhou after the wedding.

Thinking of this, Yuan Wei's sadness of parting was alleviated a lot. She took the box and took Fan Shuang and Fan Xue into the carriage.

This time when returning to Gusu, it was an escort team arranged by Lin Ruhai, so Yuan Wei was not worried about safety issues.

In the carriage, Yuan Wei looked through the window at the scenery that was constantly receding outside the window, with a complicated and inexplicable mood.

When she first came to Yangzhou, she did not expect that she would establish a deep friendship with Jia Min and Lin Ruhai. Her original purpose was only to use their power to find a reliable guarantee for herself.

Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was quiet and no one spoke.

Yuan Wei's thoughts drifted far away, recalling every bit of the past, feeling deeply moved.

After several days of travel, Yuan Wei and her group quickly arrived in Gusu.

After a night's rest, Yuan Wei was awakened by the noise outside the next morning before the sun had fully risen.

After a while, Jill pushed the door open and came in, "Girl, are you awake?"

"What's going on outside?" Yuan Wei stood up and asked.

"Did I disturb you? It's my aunt coming over!"

Yuan Wei frowned in surprise: "How did she know I was back?"

Jill smiled and replied, "When the girl came back yesterday, she brought a long procession of carriages with her. Maybe someone saw her and told my aunt."

Xiang'er and Fanxue came in to help Yuanwei wash and dress. Hearing this, Xiang'er smiled and said, "Madam wanted to come directly to the young lady's room, but Aunt Zhao stopped her."

Fan Shuang walked into the room carrying a hot breakfast and said, "Young lady, you can enjoy breakfast first, and then go to see the aunt. They are having their meal now."

Fanxue exclaimed in surprise: "It's so early, didn't the aunt rush over before she even had breakfast?"

Fan Shuang glared at Fan Xue, his eyes full of warning and reproach.

Fanxue immediately realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly closed her mouth and lowered her head.

No matter what, the aunts are all relatives of the girl. What qualifications do lowly servants like them have to laugh at others?

Yuan Wei saw the interaction between the two of them, but she did not step in to stop Fan Shuang from stopping Fan Xue.

In fact, Yuan Wei also doesn't have much good impression of Yuan Cuizhu.

Yuan Wei had no intention of blaming Fanxue for her words and actions.

But she knew very well that if someone as outspoken as Fanxue went out, she would definitely get into a lot of trouble.

Yuan Wei felt that it was necessary to let Fanxue learn to be careful with her words and actions so as not to cause her unnecessary trouble in the future.
