In the general's mansion, Princess Jingyang was very angry after hearing about the incident at Yunshanfang. Even though she knew that the materials they provided her were indeed top-notch, she couldn't help feeling disgusted.

She had never been one to let herself be wronged. After saying something to An Yan, she asked someone to get rid of the clothes, then changed her clothes and went to the palace to cry.

I don't know how she managed it, but she came back with a smile on her face. She even brought back a female official from the Imperial Clothing Bureau, saying she wanted to take measurements for An Yan and Rong Yan and remake their wedding gowns. The weaving skills of the palace were truly exceptional.

The shop owners who were originally eyeing this order could only sigh and lament, as none of them could say that their products were better than those in the palace.

After dinner, Rong Yan suggested taking An Yan back to the border town. Since there was still about a year left before the divorce, this was a good opportunity to go back and build a grave for her deceased relatives and tell them the good news that she was about to get married.

Princess Jingyang was reluctant to let them go, but this reason was indeed irresistible. "Okay, but you can't refuse the guards I'll arrange for you to escort me, so that I can rest assured."

Rong Yan was helpless, "Mom, have you forgotten that your son is a martial arts master? He's a great general! Who can hurt me?"

Princess Jingyang didn't say anything, just stared at him.

An Yan took over the conversation, "Everything is up to your arrangement." Her eyes comforted Rong Yan, and he did not refute.

Princess Jingyang was finally satisfied. She took Anyan's hand lovingly and said, "My daughter is sensible. Don't worry, I will prepare some extra money for you. I will definitely not treat my in-laws unfairly."

"Thank you, Princess." An Yan bowed gratefully, and was pulled into her arms and kissed for a while.

After leaving the house, Rong Yan asked quietly, "We want to go out and deal with the Wang family. Bringing so many people with us is quite cumbersome, and we have to avoid them."

An Yan took his hand and said, "It's okay. It's still early. We can enjoy the journey along the way. A detour won't be a big deal. As for the guards, just give them an address and ask them to go to the border town first. The village I'm pretending to be in did exist. Their remains are all buried on Qishan Mountain. They will find it."

They moved quickly, lightly equipped, and set off with a team of guards, leaving only Princess Jingyang who stayed at the door to reluctantly see them off.

The reason why he suddenly thought of dealing with the Wang family was because the people sent to keep an eye on Wang Dafu's family reported that they were preparing to return to Wangjia Village.

Unlike his previous life where he returned home in glory and wealth, this time he lost all his property and had no choice but to return.

Qin Yue'e followed Wang Dafu to do business. Except for the first one or two years when life was hard, she later lived a good life of fine clothes and delicious food. It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. In the past two months, her hands have become rough and she has become much older.

After Wang Xiaobao knew that his happy days were ruined by her, his relationship with her also plummeted.

She no longer had any status in the hearts of the father and son. She really wanted to change this situation. Even if she couldn't go back to their previous relationship of respect, at least she wouldn't be a maid who was ordered around.

Qin Yue'e woke up crying in the middle of the night, suddenly thinking of their daughter Erya, who had been left behind in their hometown. She also remembered that An Yan had mentioned a friend named Erya. If... she could replace that Erya with hers, wouldn't that mean she could marry into the General's Mansion? With a backer, their happy life was just around the corner!

The next morning, Qin Yue'e couldn't wait to find Wang Dafu and tell him about this.

Wang Dafu readily agreed. He had more on his mind. He was thinking about the money he had sent home over the years. He wanted to bring some back to help him turn his life around. If he couldn't establish a relationship with the general's wife, he could send her to the backyard of a high-ranking official to help him get promoted.

So Wang Dafu sorted out his few remaining assets, rented an ordinary horse-drawn carriage, and hurried back to Wangjia Village to visit his relatives.

An Yan and Rong Yan were different. He used his power to pressure others and ordered the guards to go to the border town to repair the tombs first. The two of them rode on good horses and played slowly along the way.

But the amazing thing is that they arrived in Anxi Yu County only two or three days apart.

In the county town, An Yan chose to stay in the more luxurious inn, which was on a high floor and had a far view.

Wang Dafu and his family could only choose the cheapest house not far away to live in. They did not return to Wangjia Village these days because they ran into Wang Yucheng on the street the next day after returning.

"Acheng! Is that you? It's me, big brother!" Wang Dafu looked at Wang Yucheng, dressed as a scholar, and excitedly went forward to hug him. "Why are you so thin? Studying is too hard! And mother, why don't you take good care of yourself?"

Wang Yucheng gets angry when he thinks about what happened at home in the past year. His mother, who used to be generous, is now stingy. The money she gives out every month is not even enough for a meal. Now his relationship with his classmates has become distant.

Daya was also an unlucky person. Right after marrying into the wealthy Yang family, she caused trouble for the Yang family and all the family property was confiscated, so that Daya could not get any benefits at all. He never even went to ask for money!

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. He had a sad face and didn't ask why his brother dressed so simply. He just wanted to get more money from his brother. He said, "Brother, I have suffered so much. Everyone in the academy looks down on me because I am from the countryside. They suppress and exclude me. I have studied for so many years, but I can't see any hope of getting ahead. I feel ashamed of all the years of support you have given me!"

Wang Dafu believed it. He firmly believed that his brother was the only hope of his family, so he hugged him and comforted him, "It's okay, Ah Cheng, Yu County is indeed a little small. Why don't you come with me this time to explore the outside world and find a better academy? We can't bury your talent!"

"Okay! Thank you, big brother!" Wang Yucheng smiled brightly, thinking that he would soon enjoy happiness with his big brother.

Unexpectedly, Wang Dafu looked at him with relief and said with emotion: "I came back not only to visit my relatives, but also because Erya is of marriageable age. I want to take her away and find a good family for her."

Wang Yucheng's smile froze, but Erya was gone. Would his elder brother, angry at his family for not taking good care of his daughter, leave without giving him money or taking him away?

He subconsciously stopped Wang Dafu who said he would go back to the village today, "Brother, it's too late to rush back today. You haven't been home for so many years, and it's so sudden. It will take a while for our family to clean up your place. Why don't you rest in the county for a few more days? When I have a few days off, we can go back together!"

Wang Dafu recalled his dilapidated house and felt a little disgusted with it. He thought it would be better to go back early one morning and leave at night so that he wouldn't have to live in the village. So he readily agreed.

Wang Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief and rushed back to Wangjia Village overnight.
