Chapter 329

The content of the imperial edict was not complicated. The general idea was to confer Yun Han the title of Marquis of Pingyang, build a mansion, grant him fiefdom, and allow the Yun family to move back to Shengjing.

This was what Chu Lingyuan promised Yun Xiaoxiao in the bamboo house.

Now, Chu Lingyuan has successfully ascended the throne and has kept his promise.

Yun Han and his wife received the imperial edict with excitement. Returning to Shengjing has been the wish of Mr. Yun and them for many years. Now, it has finally come true.

After personally sending the guard who announced the edict to the outside of the mansion and stuffing him with a hundred taels of silver, Yun Han and his wife quietly asked about the purpose of the imperial edict. The guard did not say it clearly, but gestured to the two to ask Yun Xiaoxiao.

After sending away the guard who announced the edict, Yun Han and his wife looked at Yun Xiaoxiao beside them with a puzzled look.

Yun Xiaoxiao did not hide anything. She simply told Yun Han and his wife about how she accidentally saved Chu Lingyuan while collecting herbs and took care of him for a while. After knowing the whole story, the two nodded with relief.

Rong Heng knew instantly that the person Yun Xiaoxiao liked was Chu Lingyuan.

One was a young emperor who cared about the world, and the other was a free and easy girl whose heart was in the rivers and lakes. No wonder Yun Xiaoxiao said that the two were not together.

"Xiaoxiao, the imperial edict has come down, and your grandfather and brother are also in Shengjing, so your father and I thought that we should pack up and go back these days, just in time for the reunion year." Madam Yun looked at Yun Xiaoxiao, and Yun Han nodded in agreement.

Yun Xiaoxiao paused slightly, and then responded absent-mindedly.

The four turned back to the mansion, and Yun Han and his wife began to order the servants to pack up the important things in the mansion, and Rong Heng went to her small pharmacy with Yun Xiaoxiao.

In the room, seeing Yun Xiaoxiao sitting on the couch by the window after she came back, with no intention of packing up, Rong Heng said firmly: "Disciple, don't you want to go back to Shengjing?"

Although Yun Xiaoxiao is a member of the Yun family, she has been with Rong Heng for more time than in the Yun family, so Rong Heng obviously knows Yun Xiaoxiao much better than Yun Han and his wife.

"Master, you think too much. My father was made a marquis, and the Yun family was able to return to Shengjing. How could I not want to go back?" Yun Xiaoxiao leaned leisurely on the couch, speaking naturally, without any false intention.

But who is Rong Heng? Yun Xiaoxiao's master has been taking her around since she was five years old. How could he not see Yun Xiaoxiao's true thoughts? "You can be stubborn, don't worry, I will definitely not tell your parents, but I only have one request, when you go out for a 'stroll', remember to take me with you."

Although Rong Heng has been familiar with the Yun family for a long time, if Yun Xiaoxiao is not there, Rong Heng is unwilling to stay in the Yun family. It's not uncomfortable, but boring.

Rong Heng never denied that he was a disciple slave.

Yun Xiaoxiao snorted perfunctorily, and Rong Heng turned and left.

However, just as Rong Heng left, Yun Xiaoxiao got down from the small couch, rummaged around in the room, found a few self-defense poisons that he wanted to take, and got up and went back to his room.

Clothes and banknotes are necessary, but not too much, so Yun Xiaoxiao only brought two sets of clothes and all the banknotes, quietly rolled them up in a bundle, and threw them under the quilt.

Walking to the dressing table, Yun Xiaoxiao found a valuable jade bracelet from it and put it on her wrist, and then changed into two most valuable jade hairpins and a pair of delicate and small but valuable earrings, and then walked towards the bed with satisfaction, which were all her subsequent reserves.

Although the Yun family had money, most of it was in the bank and accounts, so Yun Xiaoxiao only had more than a thousand taels of silver on her.

In order not to arouse Rong Heng's suspicion, Yun Xiaoxiao did not plan to go out to get more.

Rong Heng guessed correctly that Yun Xiaoxiao was not going to return to Shengjing. She had not sorted out her thoughts yet, so it was not appropriate to meet Chu Lingyuan at the moment.

As for why they hid it from Yun Han and his wife, it was because not only Rong Heng knew Yun Xiaoxiao, but Yun Xiaoxiao also knew Rong Heng. Yun Xiaoxiao just wanted to go out by herself and didn't want to bring a follower with her, and Rong Heng was obviously very difficult to get rid of, so Yun Xiaoxiao could only be more cautious.

According to Rong Heng's understanding of herself, he would definitely leave at night in the last few days, so this time Yun Xiaoxiao was going to do the opposite.

The Yun family had been in Yuncheng for 20 years, and there were many things that needed to be prepared, plus they had to hand over Yuncheng affairs, so Yun Han and his wife had to prepare for at least seven or eight days.

On the second night when the Yun family was preparing to return to Beijing, Yun Xiaoxiao left a letter and left with her bag at night.

As for the curfew... Yun Xiaoxiao was at least the well-known eldest lady of Yuncheng, and all the guards at the city gate recognized her, so it was not difficult for her to leave the city.

Not only was it not difficult, but the guards also specially prepared a good horse for her.

Yun Xiaoxiao praised the man with great satisfaction, then got on the horse and galloped away.

Under the moonlight, the girl rode in white clothes and disappeared soon.

…

The next day, when Yun Han and his wife woke up, they saw the letter that Yun Xiaoxiao had quietly stuffed in last night.

After opening the envelope, they saw that it said that he had important things to do and did not want to return to Shengjing for the time being, so he asked Yun Han and his wife to go back first.

Madam Yun looked worried, "How could this girl leave without saying goodbye, and even leave a letter and escape at night."

Yun Han patted her back to comfort her, "Don't worry, Xiaoxiao has always been a sensible child, she knows how to protect herself."

Madam Yun sighed, things have come to this point, she can only choose to accept it, "I know, I just can't bear to let her go."

Although Yun Xiaoxiao is their daughter, she doesn’t spend much time with them. After finally returning from a trip with Rong Heng, she still runs out every other day. Now it’s even easier, and she just disappears.

Yun Han smiled, "The children have grown up, and they always have their own ideas. It doesn’t matter. You still have me."

Unlike the calmness of Yun Han and his wife, Rong Heng felt like the sky had fallen when he learned that Yun Xiaoxiao had left Yun Cheng last night.

Yun Xiaoxiao actually didn’t take him with her!

He was old and helpless, how could this girl have the heart to leave him alone in the Yun family!

Rong Heng wailed, and immediately "borrowed" three thousand taels of silver and a good horse from Yun Han, and then chased out of the city without looking back.

Looking at Rong Heng's resolute back, Madam Yun was somewhat helpless, "Now I finally know whose personality our Xiaoxiao took after."

Yun Xiaoxiao held her hand, "I also know why Xiaoxiao left a letter and left in the middle of the night."

It turned out that she was hiding from Rong Heng.

These master and apprentice are really more interesting than each other.

Ignoring the two who had disappeared, Madam Yun continued to let the servants collect the things to take back to Shengjing, while Yun Han left the house and went to find a trusted person to explain the subsequent management affairs of Yuncheng.

Yuncheng is their foundation, and they have been operating for a full twenty years, so even if they return to Shengjing, they cannot give up this place.

...

On the other side, after Yun Xiaoxiao left Yuncheng, he rode his horse directly to the south.

Now it is mid-November, and it is gradually getting colder everywhere. Yun Xiaoxiao is ready to find a warm place to spend the winter.

After passing through several cities, Yun Xiaoxiao either disliked the small size of the city or the bad weather, so she didn't find a place to stay until the twelfth lunar month.

After searching in the city for most of the day, Yun Xiaoxiao finally chose a relatively good house, and of course the price was also very good, a full 1,500 taels.

Yun Xiaoxiao didn't have so much money, but she had a reserve fund.

After selling two earrings, Yun Xiaoxiao bought the house she liked as she wished, and bought a few maids and servants, and then she lived there with a satisfied look.

There were maids and servants in the yard, and Yun Xiaoxiao was very relaxed, so she went to the teahouse in the city to listen to books and drink tea on weekdays, and her life was very comfortable.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yun Xiaoxiao, who had breakfast, went to the teahouse to listen to books as usual, but as soon as she started listening, her heart, which had been calm for a long time, suddenly became chaotic.

The reason was simple. Today's book was about Chu Lingyuan, the new emperor of the Great Chu.
