The cruel little princess

Shen Duanfang laughed out loud at her amusement, but he still felt comforted to see his daughter being so well-behaved and sensible.

"I will write a letter to your uncle Zeng, asking him to help you when the time comes. You can ask him to do anything. He is also a veteran who retired from the battlefield. At that time, the tendons of both his hands were cut by the enemy and he could not use his strength. Dad arranged for him to return to our capital to be the housekeeper. Your uncle Zeng has been lonely and helpless all his life, without children. When you returned to the capital to attend the banquet with me, your uncle Zeng felt so pity for you as if you were his own daughter! He will never betray our Shen family!" Shen Duanfang said, and quickly wrote a letter, took out his private seal to stamp it, and then put it in an envelope and handed it to Shen Youyou.

"Youyou, you should have a good rest for the next two days. I plan to let you go back with the eunuch Xiao Xizi who announced the decree, so that you can take care of him on the way. If you have other arrangements, please make them as soon as possible." Shen Duanfang wanted to consider everything for his daughter.

"I understand, Dad! Then I'll go down and prepare." With that, Shen Youyou took her leave.

Shen Duanfang looked at his son who was as silent as a gourd beside him, and he was so angry that he kicked him, "Your sister is leaving, and you don't even know how to comfort her!"

"Dad!" Shen Zijin said aggrievedly, "I don't want my sister to leave either! But the emperor's order is hard to disobey. Besides, I just thought about it. It's better for my sister to return to the capital. It will snow here soon. It's bitterly cold at the border. It's better to let my sister go back early to avoid suffering and freezing."

When Shen Duanfang heard this, he thought it made sense. He also believed that Lao Zeng would take good care of his daughter in the capital! A few years ago, he brought Youyou back to the capital for a banquet. When Lao Zeng saw Youyou, he loved her as if she were his own daughter and wanted to give her everything she wanted! Unfortunately, he offended the fifth prince at that time, so he hurriedly sent Youyou back to the countryside. Now it's great, it feels like a dream! Life is complete!

Shen Youyou returned to the tent and briefly explained everything. She told Chuntao to pack up and head for the capital, then hurried out of the barracks and headed to Liu Jianye's residence. She briefly explained her return to the capital and gave him her address. Since she currently owned three farms, she wasn't sure which one would be suitable for a factory; she needed to visit them first to make a decision. So, she asked him to move all the goods she had tomorrow. Once she was settled, she would write him a letter, giving him her address so he could arrange for someone from the shop in the capital to pick up the goods.

Unexpectedly, Liu Jianye also had this idea. He said that the shop in the capital was developing very well. He had arranged for the shopkeeper in the capital to buy a large house with five entrances some time ago. It was the courtyard of an old retired Hanlin. He was also considering when to move to the capital! Now he heard that the Princess of Rui'an was leaving in the next few days, so he also wanted to go back with her. The main reason was that he had too many valuables, and he was still worried about finding an escort agency. Now if he went with the Princess of Rui'an, not only would he have General Shen's personal guards, but there would also be so many imperial guards to lead the way. There would definitely be no one who would bump into him! This is the safest way to travel!

Liu Jianye was determined to do what he thought, so he immediately discussed the matter with Shen Youyou. Shen Youyou also felt that their cooperation would be closer after he went to the capital, so she said she would go back and discuss with her father whether he could go with her. After Liu Jianye thanked her profusely, Shen Youyou left the Liu Mansion and went to the courtyard she had rented.

She found Wu Di and told him about this matter carefully, asking him to arrange for the staff to rush the work today and make all the things that can be made on hand, and arrange for Liu Jianye to come and count and take them away tomorrow. Then everyone will have the whole day tomorrow to pack up their things, pack up their own things, and take the pots, pans, and other things that can be taken away. If they really can't take it with them, forget it, and buy something suitable when they get to the capital. She will arrange for a carriage to come tomorrow, pack everything and load it onto the carriage, and return to the capital with eunuch Xiao Xizi the day after tomorrow morning. She will arrange for the soldiers in the barracks to take back the remaining medicinal materials and things that cannot be taken away and put them in the pharmacy for continued use.

Wu Di was thrilled when he heard this. He had gone from being an orphan living from hand to mouth to being a well-fed and warm servant, and now he was going to follow the young lady to the capital! He heard that the capital was a prosperous and expensive place! It was a wealth and prosperity that these orphans from the countryside had never experienced! He agreed immediately and hurried out to call a meeting.

Shen Youyou looked at Wu Di's cheerful expression and smiled silently. At this moment, she hadn't realized that she had arranged everyone around her, but had only forgotten her beloved boyfriend, His Royal Highness Prince Jin!

After leaving General Shen, eunuch Xiao Xizi went straight to find His Royal Highness Prince Jin. After Xiao Xizi knelt down and bowed, he explained his purpose to His Royal Highness Prince Jin. His Royal Highness Prince Jin couldn't help but feel speechless. Although his father had intended to reveal his preference for Princess Rui'an in advance, he didn't expect that he would directly find a way to recall her back to the capital. Although it was a roundabout way, he could tell at a glance that this was an idea specially made to recall Shen Youyou back to the capital! Otherwise, why didn't he grant the mansion along with the promotion edict last time? Why was the mansion granted as soon as he expressed his intention? This meant that the Shen family father and son had to guard the border and could not return to the capital. His Royal Highness Prince Jin laughed. Maybe this was the best solution his father thought he could think of!

Xiao Xizi looked at His Royal Highness Prince Jin's smile and secretly took note. This showed that he agreed with His Majesty's actions and thought that His Majesty's actions were very wise! He would report to His Majesty and claim his reward when he got back!

After Shen Youyou returned to the military camp, she went to talk to her father again and told him that Wu Di and the others would also be brought to the capital, and Liu Jianye wanted to go with them. General Shen thought about it, and there was still a hundred carts of food and fodder in front of him, so it was hard to refuse. Anyway, he was going to send personal guards to escort his daughter back to the capital, and his daughter had a lot of capable subordinates. It was a good thing to herd a sheep or a flock of sheep, so he might as well do a favor for his daughter. It was also a way to repay Liu Jianye. So the matter was settled. Shen Youyou sent someone to inform Liu Jianye that they would set off together the day after tomorrow morning. The excited Liu family was in a state of chaos, and finally decided to only take valuables on the road, and buy the rest on the way. Even so, nearly twenty carriages were crammed with food, which was enough to show how rich the Liu family's wealth was!

Shen Youyou went back to her own tent and saw that Chuntao had basically packed up her clothes. As for the ones given by the emperor, after Shen Youyou knew that they could not be sold, they were placed directly in a tent. Her father had sent trusted guards to guard it heavily! So before leaving, she just moved it into the carriage. Shen Youyou personally packed up her rare medicinal herbs. She took the few old ginsengs with her. Her father had one that he kept for a life-saving purpose, so she didn't leave it to him. She also took the dendrobiums with her. She picked a lot of them. She left a small part in the military camp, and the rest were all with her. And... anyway, she took all the medicinal herbs that she thought were precious and rare.

The time we spend together is always short, and the time to leave has quietly arrived! Shen Youyou sat in the carriage, gazing out the window at the simple faces, listening to their sincere farewells, and a pang of sadness lingered in her heart. Over time, hearts are exchanged for hearts, and her sincere efforts were rewarded with their reluctance to leave, which made her feel that everything was worth it!

Shen Zijin rode beside her carriage, sternly admonishing her to avoid any contact with those pretentious ladies of noble families when they arrived in the capital, as they were too good at reading people's minds. Rumors had spread the previous time Shen Youyou had been to the capital, calling her a fool. And this time, with the added title of Rui'an County Lady, those who knew would think she had made great contributions on her own, while those who didn't would inevitably think she was a daughter of her father's status, that her father had made great contributions and therefore requested her to be named a county lady. They would definitely bully her with words, so there was no need to interact with those people!

Shen Youyou just found it hilarious. What business did they have with other people's well-being?! But it didn't matter. She loved playing the pig and eating the tiger the most!
