Chapter 118 Identification
Towards evening, the rain suddenly stopped.
Jiang Shu dropped the last piece and said, "Your Highness wins."
Finally, Jiang Shu turned to look outside the house and breathed a sigh of relief: "The rain has stopped, it's time for me to go back."
Jiang Shu stood up and said goodbye, and Yu Zheng sent her outside the house. He watched her get into the carriage and leave, but he still stood there for a long time.
"Master?" Zhuiyun called tentatively.
Yu Zheng came to his senses and turned around to enter the house.
The clouds were heavy and it was not yet evening, and the house was already dark.
Yu Zheng asked Zhuiyun to present all the backlog of official affairs and handle them by candlelight.
"Tell Zhufeng and Mr. Zhou to speed up the action and make sure everything is handled properly before the rain stops. We will return to Beijing as soon as the weather clears."
"There is also the matter of the 'Ci'an Yuan'. Arrangements will be made to start construction as soon as possible."
"Yes." Zhuiyun agreed and turned around.
As Yu Zheng expected, the rain continued for two or three days before it completely stopped.
Although it was raining, Yu Zheng was not idle at all, and was even busier than usual.
After the rain stopped that afternoon, Yu Zheng and Zhou Bexu took people to the prison.
The group of people stayed inside for a full hour.
After being released from prison, Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu returned to the Fuyin Mansion to discuss the matter of escorting Zhao Renxian and the stolen money back to Beijing tomorrow.
"The journey back to Beijing will definitely be uneven. Be careful." Zhou Boxu warned in a deep voice.
Zhao Renxian's case has a wide range of implications. On the way to Beijing, the people behind him will definitely take action.
Yu Zheng nodded: "Although there are no omissions in the plan, people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. You should also be careful."
"Yes." Zhou Boxu took a sip of tea and looked at Yu Zheng with complicated eyes: "Are you so anxious to return to Beijing to be with Miss Jiang?"
Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Yu Zheng didn't intend to hide it, so he nodded.
Zhou Boxu sighed deeply and said worriedly: "Miss Jiang comes from a humble background, and she is a lithe person. She is far from the royal family's standards for selecting concubines. If you want to marry her, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."
Zhou Boxu said this tactfully.
Yu Zheng is no ordinary prince. He is deeply favored by the emperor and has a high reputation in the court. He is very likely to ascend to the supreme position in the future.
Therefore, his wife must be carefully selected to satisfy everyone.
As for Jiang Shu, she is not suitable.
Yu Zheng understood what Zhou Boxu was thinking and sneered: "With my status, how many things are easy?"
"Everything depends on man, and man can conquer nature. Nothing is impossible, only people who can't do it."
Zhou Boxu was startled when he heard this, and then laughed: "What a young and frivolous person, more courageous than me."
It would have been great if he could be as determined as Yu Zheng back then.
Seeing the look of regret and pain on Zhou Boxu's face, Yu Zheng knew what he was thinking and thought carefully: "It's not impossible for you and my sister."
Zhou Boxu shook his head sadly: "Mrs. Zhuang will not agree, and neither will my parents."
"It all depends on human effort." Yu Zheng said firmly.
Zhou Boxu took a deep breath and suppressed the bitterness in his throat: "Let nature take its course. Your sister is already suffering a lot. I don't want her to be hurt again."
Although it is a private matter, due to the identity of Princess Yu Lan and the special nature of the banker. Too much contamination involves a wide range of things, and if it is not handled properly, Yu Lan will be criticized by the people.
A woman's reputation is important, not to mention that Yu Lan is still the eldest princess.
He glanced at Zhou Boxu with dark eyes, and Yu Zheng said no more.
Zhou Boxu is good at everything, but he is too indecisive when it comes to family affection. He thought that escaping would make the people he cared about better off, but little did he know that doing so would only amplify and deepen the harm.
These years, his sister's life has not been easy at all.
Zhou Boxu's so-called lifelong non-marriage and silent protection was a heavy shackles for his sister. She couldn't wait, couldn't complain, and couldn't ask for anything.
Yu Zheng wanted to help, but Zhou Boxu didn't, so everything was in vain.
After all, his sister was the eldest princess. She had already been abandoned once by Zhou Boxu back then, so it was hard to lower her status and face to force her.
Even the pain and struggle can only be hidden in the bottom of my heart.
"It's getting late. You should rest early after dinner. I won't see you off tomorrow." Zhou Bexu stood up and said goodbye.
"Yes." Yu Zheng responded lightly and watched Zhou Boxu leave.
Looking at the darkening sky outside the house, Yu Zheng walked to the case, picked up a pen and wrote a letter and asked Zhuiyun to send it to Jiang Shu.
He is not Zhou Boxu. Whatever he believes in, he will definitely fight for it with all his strength.
Compared with the difficulty of fighting for it, it is even more difficult to marry someone you don't like and spend the rest of your life hating each other.
It’s not easy to choose the right or left, so why not choose what you want?
Even if the final result is not as expected, at least there will be no regrets.
After several days of continuous rain, the sky finally cleared up.
Jiang Shu stood in front of the window and looked at the faint clouds on the horizon. Tan Yu was busy packing things.
"I'm finally going back to Beijing." Tan Yu was in a good mood.
When I went out, I was attracted by the scenery along the way. I felt that the outside was novel and interesting, and I felt happy and joyful along the way.
But when the fresh energy wore off, I felt that it was just like that outside, and I began to miss the familiar Shangjing.
"Knock!" Someone knocked on the door outside the house.
"Who is it?" Tan Yu asked in a loud voice.
"Chaiyun." A familiar voice came from outside the house.
Upon hearing this, Tan Yu quickly put down the things in her hands and ran quickly to open the door.
Jiang Shu also heard the sound and came over.
Tan Yu opened the door, her eyes brightened when she saw Zhui Yun, and finally she looked behind Zhui Yun.
"are you alone?"
Zhuiyun nodded: "Master asked me to deliver the letter."
Zhuiyun saw Jiang Shu coming and handed her the letter in his hand.
"Thank you." Jiang Shu took it and walked back to the table to sit down and read the letter.
Tan Yu sent Zhui Yun away, closed the door, and walked to Jiang Shu.
"My boss, what did the prince say in the letter? Are we going back to Beijing together tomorrow?"
For the past two or three days, the master and the servant have been staying in the inn, waiting and looking around, but Yu Zheng has not sent any news.
Seeing that the rain had passed and the sky had cleared up, they had packed their things and were about to set off back to Beijing tomorrow when Yu Zheng finally received a letter.
Jiang Shu took out the letter and unfolded it, reading it with excitement.
Tan Yu waited quietly, anxiety written on her face.
Jiang Shu looked up at her after reading the letter and said with a smile, "Why are you in a hurry?"
Tan Yu hummed softly: "Don't be in a hurry, boss. I have been distracted and absent-minded these past two days. Especially today after the rain stopped, I kept staring out the window, and the sky was about to be opened."
Jiang Shu's face turned red when he was told that, and he said angrily: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will marry you off."
"No, no, no, no." Tan Yu quickly begged for mercy.
She didn't want to get married, she just wanted to follow Jiang Shu for the rest of her life.
"Good boss, I was wrong, just tell me." Tan Yu scratched her head and ears anxiously out of curiosity.
Jiang Shu put the letter away and coughed lightly: "Your Majesty asked us to meet outside the city tomorrow."
Fuyin Mansion and the inn are not in the same direction. If they go to Fuyin Mansion first and then leave the city, they will have to make a big circle.
As for Yu Zheng and the others, they were escorting the prisoners. The team was too large to come to the inn, so they had to meet outside the city.
"Then let's go to bed early after dinner and get up at dawn tomorrow." Tan Yu felt relieved after receiving the confirmation.
"Yeah." Jiang Shu responded.
Thinking that she would see Yu Zheng tomorrow, she was a little excited and a little nervous.
It's hard to sleep peacefully at night when my heart is full of thoughts.
This night, Jiang Shu couldn't sleep.
