Chapter 313: Departure Today

After returning to the general's mansion, the two were temporarily arranged to live in the courtyard where Mrs. Xing used to live - Huanyun Courtyard.

Because of Empress Guo's warning, the two of them kept their duties and did not dare to cause trouble. They just waited quietly to go south to Jinling City, so there was no big problem.

It was just that when the eldest sister-in-law Liu, the eighth sister Xue Niang and the fourth aunt heard the news, they were inevitably a little surprised, but when they thought of their current status, it was already a good ending, so they felt that they could accept it.

"It's still grandma's wit, otherwise the general would have a conflict with His Majesty."

Du Jingyi still felt a little scared when she thought about it now. Although she had never heard that the emperor liked to slaughter his subjects, it was not a good thing to anger the king of a country.

Therefore, she still felt that her husband was too impulsive, but when she thought that this impulse was also for herself, she was moved.

Shang Ji didn't say much, but just held her hand tightly, and his eyes were quite firm when he looked at Du Jingyi. Everyone present knew what was going on.

"Okay, let's get ready quickly and leave first, otherwise who knows when two more maids will be sent over. There won't be so many sisters-in-law to arrange this time."

The fourth aunt spoke straightforwardly, and everyone thought it made sense, so they started to make arrangements. Shang Ji was the first to answer.

"My wife and I have almost prepared everything we should prepare, and we can set off tomorrow."

Originally, he planned to leave the day after tomorrow, but now, he can't wait to leave.

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu nodded and said to her grandson Shang Ji.

"Then let's set off tomorrow. We have packed our luggage and are waiting for you to come back."

"Yes, grandmother!"

That day, because all the masters in the general's mansion had to leave tomorrow, the servants were busy.

Butler He and Madam Dou naturally had to stay to deal with the affairs of the general's mansion, and Du Jingyi also left Madam Cai in Xitangyuan.

First, she was a little old, and it might not be a good thing to go back and forth like this. Second, she needed someone she trusted to guard the gate of Xitangyuan, so after thinking about it, she decided to let her stay.

Du Jingyi took away four maids and several capable people she used, including maids and servants. They were all happy that they could follow their mistress to the Gu family in Jinling City.

That day, everyone was busy loading and preparing.

The next morning, the carriages in front of the general's mansion set off.

When they came from Jinling City, there were only more than ten carriages, but when they left, there were twenty or thirty carriages. The amount of luggage was so much that people were jealous.

But no one dared to make a plan casually, because the guards who followed the luggage were the serious-looking Hu Ben Army guards.

There were more than 300 people in the group, all of whom were agile, and anyone who saw them would say that they were so powerful.

In front of the general's mansion, everyone said goodbye to each other.

Although the eldest sister-in-law Liu and the eighth sister Xue Niang were reluctant to leave, they also knew the purpose of their trip, so they smiled and said goodbye.

"When you get married, grandma can't come, but everything is prepared for you. Don't worry about it. Even in Jinling City, grandma will pray for you day and night."

"Grandma, don't worry all the time. Xue Niang will take good care of herself. Don't worry."

Madam Gu smiled lightly and looked at this granddaughter who looked like her daughter. She was really happy in her heart. At least her ending now is much better than her daughter's.

Marrying into the Guo family, she has her grandmother and mother-in-law to take care of her, and her husband is considerate. She doesn't need to take charge of the family affairs. Just live a good life.

Therefore, Madam Gu was really relieved, so she turned to give instructions to the eldest sister-in-law Liu.

"You have been taking care of them for so many years. You have worked hard. I am afraid you will have to take on this responsibility in the future and take good care of them."

"Don't worry, grandma. Your granddaughter-in-law knows."

She patted her hand behind her back, turned around and walked down the stairs. She waved her hand before getting on the carriage and said.

"It's so cold, let's go back. No need to see us off."

The eldest sister-in-law Liu and the eighth sister Xue Niang nodded, but they still stood at the door.

Du Jingyi divided half of the female guard team and left it to the two of them, repeatedly instructing them.

"Now that the general is not here, I am afraid that the people in the Duke's Mansion will deliberately make things difficult for you. So don't go to the banquet if you can avoid it. If you have to go, you'd better inform the Guo family first."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, go. I will definitely take good care of this family for you. I will never let anyone step on the face of the general's mansion to get ahead."

The eldest sister-in-law Liu has the courage to do so, but I don't know if she can really do it in the future.

In the west courtyard, Shang Ji also left a personal guard of more than 50 people, which was called guarding the house, but in fact it was to protect the two of them. So it was indeed an iron wall from any angle.

Finally, everyone got on the carriage, Shang Ji sat on his black horse, and Luo Yuan followed him majestically, and the group headed out of the city.

The eldest sister-in-law Liu and the eighth sister Xue Niang waved until they could not see the group clearly, then wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, returned home, and lived their own lives behind closed doors.

The cold wind was bleak outside the city, and the carriage was not moving fast because it had to take care of the old and young in the family.

The carriage that Du Jingyi was riding in was specially widened a lot, and a thick fur mattress was padded, just to make it easier for Tai Ge'er to climb.

At his current age, he loves to be naughty. I thought he would be a little uncomfortable on the road. After all, there are some bumps in the carriage most of the time.

Unexpectedly, he was extraordinarily comfortable. He would sit on Du Jingyi's body for a while, and jump on Wet Nurse Fu's body for a while. He was very happy.

Looking at his increasingly rounded face, Du Jingyi said with a smile.

"Has our brother Tai become rounder again? How come you could still see his neck two days ago, but now there is nothing there. I can see that his clothes are also a little smaller."

Wet nurse Fu heard this and replied.

"Brother is a little fatter, and it feels a little heavy when I hold it in my hands. However, this dress is not too small. It's because I added two more pieces to it, so it looks a little tight, but it's actually fine. ”

After hearing Wet Nurse Fu's explanation, Du Jingyi nodded and said nothing more.

Du Jingyi recognized her for her carefulness and patience, so he didn't question her taking care of the children too much, as long as it was for Brother Tai's benefit.

Brother Tai is now holding the toy in his hand and teasing it carefully, showing his two little white teeth from time to time, looking very interesting and childlike.

Du Jingyi saw maternal love overflowing, and his eyes were full of kindness.

Brother Tai seemed to feel this warmth, raised his head and smiled softly at Du Jingyi.
