I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

Listening to Eunuch Dai's trembling voice, Wen Qingzhi just found it funny.

She shook her head at Chang Yan, indicating that she should not continue the topic.

Chang Yan curled her lips, and simply lay down in the carriage, pinching a piece of dessert, "The New Year is coming soon, I hope nothing unexpected happens."

What a weird thing...

For some reason, Wen Qingzhi always felt that something was bound to happen.

The carriage traveled smoothly all the way, and when it arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, someone was waiting at the door to greet it.

When getting off the carriage, Wen Qingzhi looked surprised.

"I have arrived safely at your house, and I will return to the palace first."

Eunuch Dai said politely.

Wen Qingzhi curled the corners of her lips and smiled, "Thank you for taking this trip, eunuch."

After saying this, he stuffed a bag of silver coins into Eunuch Dai's pocket and said sadly, "I hope you won't despise it... Almost all the silver in the Marquis' Mansion has been given to the Emperor."

Eunuch Dai paused with his outstretched hand, not knowing for a moment whether he should accept the silver.

"Please accept it, sir. It's a token of my appreciation."

"Then, we will accept it. Thank you for your kindness, young lady."

"The roads are slippery in the snow, so be careful when you go back."

"Thank you Miss Wen."

After Eunuch Dai left, Wen Qingzhi asked Zhang Liang, "When did you know I was back?"

Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "I don't know what to say, young lady. However, the old lady has us wait here every day, hoping that you will come home."

Wen Qingzhi looked up in surprise, and besides being shocked, she felt a sweet taste in her heart.

She hummed, "Go tell Dad and Mom that I'm back."

"Yes!"

Zhang Liang turned around and ran away. Wen Qingzhi and Chang Yan walked inside and closed the door.

"Ah~"

Chang Yan stretched out her arms in a relaxed manner, "Azhi, you go back and rest first. I'm going to go see Master first and tell him that I'm back safely!"

With that, she ran towards her yard, "I'll come find you later!"

Chang Baicao was incredibly kind to Chang Yan, even treating her like her own granddaughter. It was normal for Chang Baicao to be worried after she had been gone for so long without any news.

It was natural for her to report her safety first when she came back.

After walking for a while, dozens of people appeared in front of her and hurried towards her.

"Azhi!"

Zheng's father, mother, and Zheng Yue hurried over, their faces filled with joy. Mother Zheng quickened her pace upon seeing Wen Qingzhi, and nearly fell as the road was slippery.

"Mother, slow down!"

Wen Qingzhi quickly stepped forward and supported Zheng's mother. Zheng's mother, with red eyes, grabbed her hand and said, "Good child, good child!"

She looked at Wen Qingzhi carefully, and finally noticed the marks on her cheek. She frowned in worry, "Azhi, what's wrong with your face?"

He added, "You've lost weight."

The sudden and genuine concern made Wen Qingzhi a little at a loss as to what to do.

She forced a smile, "It's okay. Mother, are you all okay?"

"All good, all good!"

Mother Zheng noticed that Wen Qingzhi seemed unwilling to say what happened to her face, so she stopped asking.

"Don't just stand there! Ah Zhi is back, let's go back to the house and talk."

Father Zheng patted Mother Zheng on the shoulder and told them to go back and talk.

On the side, Chunyu stood behind everyone with tears in her eyes.

She wanted to go up and talk to Wen Qingzhi several times, but was afraid of breaking the rules. After hesitating for a long time, she did not dare to go up and talk to Wen Qingzhi.

When they arrived at the Zheng family compound, Zheng's mother said, "We've sent someone to light a fire for you. Please come and talk with us first."

"it is good."

"Azhi, your yard has been empty for nearly a month and it's very cold. You can go back after it warms up."

Zheng Yue said as she looked at Wen Qingzhi's face, "Azhi, your face..."

“Being beaten.”

She didn't want to say it originally, but for some reason, the words on her lips turned into a complaint of grievance, "I was plotted against by Xiao Xiangfei, and Yuepin did it."

"What!?"

The Zheng family was completely taken aback, shocked and angry.

Zheng Yue understands Wen Qingzhi, how strong is her self-esteem?

She must have felt bad being beaten openly in the palace!

"How could this be... If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have gone in the first place!"

She touched Wen Qingzhi's cheek distressedly, stroking it gently, and blew on it again, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."

"You were gone for so long, and your injuries haven't fully healed. How serious were they?"

When Zheng's mother thought of the suffering Wen Qingzhi had endured, tears immediately started to flow. She leaned in Zheng's father's arms, tears falling.

"poor child!"

Zheng Shu also came over and gave Wen Qingzhi a handful of candy, "Third sister, eat it! Eat something sweet, and you won't feel the bitterness!"

Zheng Lin looked at Wen Qingzhi's eyes as calm as water, and his heart ached even more.

Moon Concubine...

He secretly remembered this person in his heart.

"Thank you, Fourth Sister."

Wen Qingzhi took the candy and put one in her mouth. It tasted sweet.
