Chapter 1801: No Matter What, I Love Fang Yong
Bai Yiqiao apologized to Wen Yu, then took her things and left.
Wen Yu grabbed Bai Yiqiao’s arm and asked in a low voice, “Are you really going to leave?”
She pushed aside his hand and said, “Wen Yu, I know how good you are to me, but being moved is not affection. You will meet a girl you sincerely like.”
Wen Yu pursed his lips tightly. “Do you really think Fang Yong will marry you again?”
“No matter what, I love Fang Yong,” said Bai Yiqiao firmly.
Wen Yu’s face was unreconciled for a moment. In the end, he said, “Then, I wish you happiness. If I meet you in the future, I will pretend not to know you. We are strangers from now on.”
“Wen Yu, I’ve let you down.” Bai Yiqiao hugged Wen Yu’s waist, her tears wetting his chest.
Before leaving, Bai Yiqiao still made such an ambiguous move.
Bai Yiqiao asked around to figure out when Chen Ermei would return to the capital.
After staying at home for two days, Ning Shu took the two elders of the Chen family and the families of some soldiers from the village to the capital.
As for some of the soldiers who had passed away in the war, Ning Shu gave their families appropriate compensation.
Father Chen and Lady Li had long wanted to see Chen Li. When Ning Shu said they were going to the capital, neither of them objected. They slaughtered all the livestock they had raised and cooked them for the guards who had escorted Ning Shu back. They even held an all-day banquet and invited all the villagers to eat.
Ning Shu took the two elders to the town to buy good clothes. While at it, she bought some jewelry for Lady Li. When there was nothing to do, she made Lady Li apply sheet masks.
As the day of departure approached, the two elders stayed up almost all night, busying about to deal with the matters here. However, the next day, it was like they took revitalization pills. They were teeming with energy.
The three of them sat on a carriage and headed towards the capital.
Both Father Chen and Lady Li were people who had never traveled far. At first, it was a very novel experience, but as time passed, they couldn’t bear it. They both got motion sickness.
Ning Shu gave the two people an invigorating medicine packet. They could sniff it when they felt uncomfortable.
When they were halfway there, a guard came over and said to Ning Shu, “General, someone is following us. They’ve been following us the entire time.”
Ning Shu raised an eyebrow. “Go and ask who it is.”
The guard returned quickly and said to Ning Shu, “It’s a woman who says that her surname is Bai and that she is also going to the capital. She said that she is going to the capital to find someone.”
Ning Shu almost laughed out loud. Bai Yiqiao was probably going to the capital to look for Fang Yong.
At that moment, Ning Shu felt schadenfreude. Most likely, Bai Yiqiao’s trip would cause a lot of ruckus.
This was why Bai Yiqiao was a two-faced bitch. In the years since Fang Yong left, she had a good man to care for her. Once she found someone better, she immediately kicked Wen Yu aside.
Bai Yiqiao had a big ego. She felt that only Fang Yong was worthy of her. She actually looked down on Wen Yu. Wen Yu was only a merchant, the lowest class. Although merchants were rich, they could not make other people servile to her.
All her fussing was because she felt unsatisfied and believed that she deserved better.
“Let her follow if she wants. Don’t worry about her.”
When she arrived in the capital, Ning Shu placed the two elders in the manor bestowed upon her by Emperor Yan. The two elders of the Chen family had never lived in such a large house in their lives. There were even maids to wait upon them. Every day, they felt that they were dreaming.
As Chen Li was besieging a city and was not at home, Ning Shu stayed with the two elders.
