At this moment, the carriage stopped.

All of us shook slightly, and Caiwei reached out to hug me. After listening carefully, we found that it was already very quiet around us. Only the sound of horse hooves snatching the ground was a bit monotonous and even heavier.

I lifted the curtain and looked out, and found that the convoy that had been in front had disappeared at some point. Our carriage was parked at a door, which should be a side door, with walls stretching far away on both sides. Several middle-aged men who seemed to be dressed as servants stood at the door and saluted us respectfully.

"This is--"

Boss Wang also looked out and said, "We're here."

After saying that, he turned around and got out of the carriage.

Caiwei and I looked at each other, and didn't say anything, and we all followed him off the carriage. As soon as we stood at this door, we felt a cool breeze blowing across the long street. It was quite quiet and there were almost no pedestrians. The yellow sand and withered leaves in the corner were swept together by the wind, floating away.

I looked around and then turned around and looked at Boss Wang: "Where is this place?"

"This is the boss's home."

"Yang Mansion?"

"Yes, this is the northwest gate of Yang Mansion."

As he said that, Boss Wang dusted the corner of his clothes that had already wrinkled, then made a gesture of reaching out to me, and said, "Madam, please come in first. If you have anything to say, you will know what you ask the boss after you meet him."

“…”

Now that things have come to this point, of course I can only do what he said. I took a deep breath and took Caiwei in.

The Yang Mansion is as spacious as the mansions of all the dignitaries in the capital. It is quite large, but unexpectedly very elegant. It is different from the mansions of ordinary merchants. When we entered the Yang Mansion from the northwest gate, we saw a long corridor at the first sight. However, this corridor is not made of ordinary walls, but tall trees on both sides, lush canopies gathered together on the top of our heads, forming a corridor with osmanthus trees planted on both sides. In such a season, the sweet osmanthus fragrance is strong, and it slowly gathers in this corridor. After we walked past, the strong osmanthus fragrance was still stained on the corners of my clothes and hair.

With that fragrance, I walked slowly in this gorgeous and dreamy mansion. After a while, a small building appeared in front of me.

The snow-white walls faced us, and there were many green vines climbing on them, swaying lightly in the wind, and green waves spread on the wall. When we entered the yard, a group of young and beautiful maids stood there waiting for us.

As soon as we were all here, they came over to salute immediately.

I thought that no matter what, I should see the owner of this family first, but I didn’t expect that Yang Wanyun didn’t seem to have planned here. Boss Wang whispered beside me: “You two go take a shower and change clothes first, and take a rest.”

I looked back at him: "What about your big boss?"

Boss Wang said: "I'll go over and ask."

“…”

I thought about it, after all, I was at someone's house, so it was hard to say anything, so I nodded and agreed. Boss Wang turned around and left with greasy sweat. The group of maids respectfully took us to a bathroom to take a shower. Originally, Caiwei was going to come and serve me, but the maids urged her to clean up, and I also said a few words to her. After all, I was here for guests, and she still had to follow the guests in everything, so she obediently continued.

After taking a shower, we all felt much more relaxed.

The group of maids sent us to a very exquisite and elegant room. As soon as they opened the door, they felt a warm fragrance coming towards us. The warm fragrance was mixed with a faint fragrance of wine and food. When they looked closely, there were already tables of wine and food on the table, which were all delicacies.

I subconsciously frowned.

Originally, I thought that when I arrived at this Yang Mansion, I should meet the owner of this family first. Although Yang Wanyun and I had no relationship, we should also ask for gifts first in terms of seniority. But now it seems that he does not intend to see me immediately with the wine and food in this guest room.

I frowned and was about to say something when I saw that Boss Wang seemed to have cleaned up, and walked over with a refreshed look.

"lady."

"Boss Wang, your boss is this-"

Boss Wang only glanced at the food and food in the room, and waved to the maids: "You all go down, I'll accompany you here, Madam."

"……yes."

The maids immediately stepped down after hearing his words, and then Boss Wang said with a smile: "Madam, please sit down first, eat something to warm your body."

...

The guest was as he pleased, and I couldn't help but go to see Yang Wanyun before I could stop, so I could only take Caiwei over and sit down. Boss Wang personally served me a bowl of hot soup, but I couldn't tell what it was. It seemed that there were some medicinal herbs in it, but there was no medicine at all. It was very sweet and delicious. After drinking a little, I felt that my whole body was refreshed.

Boss Wang said with a smile: "Madam, don't be angry. It's not that my boss deliberately neglects his wife. It's really because he is in poor health."

"Um?"

"The boss has been in a bad mood over the years and has stopped leaving the mansion. He has given all his business to several young masters and we subordinates to take care of it. This time he went out of the capital to greet his wife. The road was bumpy and caught a cold. The doctor asked him to steam it with medicine."

When I heard this, I hurriedly said, "Then, he is not seriously injured."

"Not yet, but I'm older and have some problems."

“…”

So that's the case. I felt relieved, but at the same time, my heart also raised.

Because I found that Boss Wang was so kind this time that he didn't even have any worries. While he raised his chopsticks to pick up food for me, I thought about it and said, "Boss Wang, this time it was your Miss Jin Qiao who asked you to escort me to Beijing, right?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He nodded.

"Now, I'm in your master's house, does Miss Jin Qiao know?"

He smiled calmly: "I'm afraid I know."

“…” I took a deep breath and said, “So, this was your intention, right?”

Boss Wang glanced at me and didn't speak immediately.

And I probably understood it.

He had said before that since Pei Yuanhao seized the throne and ascended the throne, Yang Jinqiao has never returned to the Yang family. Perhaps it was because of her relationship with Yang Yunhui that she could no longer get along well with this family. And she has not come back in the years after Yang Yunhui's death, which further proves this.

After Boss Wang met her in Jixiang Village, he thought he had done a lot for this "Miss Jin Qiao", including observing my movements a few days ago and escorting me to Beijing.

But now, I am not with Yang Jinqiao, but in Yang Wanyun's mansion.

I said frankly: "You guys hope she will come back to this home this time, right?"

Boss Wang was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Boss Big Boss is the 60th birthday this year."

“…”

"Young Master Yunhui can't come back, but Miss Jin Qiao - the boss said he didn't want to, how could he really not want to?"

“…”

I fell silent.

When he passed the test, he heard him mention that this time he rushed back to the capital for Yang Wanyun's 60th birthday. At that time, he thought he said this casually just to pass the test, but he didn't expect it to be true.

It is impossible for an old man to come back to celebrate his birthday on his 60th birthday, but he still couldn't bear to leave that "daughter" and still hoped to see her.

Boss Wang stood up and bowed to me and said, "Madam, this time I offended."

“…”

I couldn't say anything. After a moment of silence, I smiled faintly, "Well, I just think it's here to be a guest."

Seeing that I didn't mind very much, Boss Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised his chopsticks to me. At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

I looked at him and immediately became quiet.

Could it be that Yang Wanyun is here?

Suddenly, my breath became a little nervous and I hurriedly stood up. Boss Wang seemed a little confused and murmured to himself, "I'll come so soon." But he got up immediately, took care of his clothes, and walked over to open the door.

"old--"

I was about to speak, but I was swallowed back after I was halfway through.

I stood by the table and saw the person standing at the door, but I didn't respond for a moment.

Standing at the door was a graceful and luxurious woman.

This lady looks not young anymore, at least forty or fifty years old, but she looks energetic, especially her bright eyes, which are as bright as pearls; her appearance is beautiful, even looks gorgeous, and her temperament is extremely graceful, and she is a woman born with nobleness. She has a tall figure and straight body. Her gorgeous robe looks like she looks like she is wearing, and her luxurious atmosphere is natural.

When she appeared at the door, the whole room lit up.

I looked at her and was speechless for a moment. But Boss Wang came to his senses and hurriedly saluted her: "Old lady."

I immediately realized that this person should be Yang Wanyun's wife, Yang Yunhui's mother, and the fourth-rank imperial wife of the court - Ying Hanyu.

I stepped forward and saluted her: "Greetings to Mrs. Hanyu."

A delicate jade hand reached over and supported me. Mrs. Hanyu's hand was very soft. I think she had never done any hard work before. She helped me up with a smile, led me to the table and sat down, and said, "I have long been honored by you. Miss Yan."

“…”

I didn't know how to answer this sentence for a moment.

Boss Wang was also a little embarrassed. He stood at the door and looked outside. There were a few maids dressed completely differently from the maids who just served us. They seemed to be much more luxurious. They were obviously following the old lady. Boss Wang smiled and said, "Old lady, master, he--"

"The master is still drinking medicine. I'll come here first and meet the distinguished guests."

I smiled and said, "I really don't dare to take it."

"Where you come, sit."

As she said that, she patted my hand gently and said, "It must be very hard on the way. From Yangzhou to Beijing, can you take good care of you?"

"Yes, Boss Wang has always been very dedicated."

"That's good."

Although he was talking about him, Boss Wang seemed to be unable to penetrate his mouth, especially when Mrs. Hanyu and I sat at the table, there seemed to be no place for him to sit here. Just as I was about to say something, Mrs. Hanyu said calmly: "I'll talk to Miss Yan about something, if you're fine, go down first."
