The heat is gradually dissipating, and the autumn in the south of the Yangtze River is much more gentle than that in the capital, especially in the evening, when there are gusts of cool wind blowing on the face.Shi Wanwan chatted with Mrs. Xu at home. Since Mrs. Yan passed away, Mrs. Xu's spirit has improved a lot.Regarding the affairs of the mansion, although Shi Wanwan is now in charge, the Xu family is no longer the same as in the past. She will take the initiative to ask questions, and actively put forward her own opinions for Shi Wanwan's reference.

As Shi Wanwan who saw the last face of Yan Shi when she was alive, she knows more about the past 20 years of Chu Mansion than outsiders, and Shi Wanwan also believes that she is the person who knows Yan Shi's psychology best in the world. Even more than Chu Yutang and Xu's.It's just that if you don't say something about some things, you won't destroy the original impression.Xu and Chu Yutang's mother and daughter have suffered a lot of inexplicable hardships along the way, and many unnecessary sufferings are also caused by their unsuspecting trust and dependence on Yan.Now that the person has passed away, to reveal the cruel truth will only increase the sadness of the living.

"Wanwan, you have lived in Jiangnan for a long time, are you still used to the environment in Jiangnan?" Xu smiled casually, and now she likes Shi Wanwan more and more.In this regard, she and Chu Yutang are like mother and daughter, with the same taste.

Shi Wanwan also felt that Xu gave her a kindness that no one else had, which allowed her to get along with him easily and naturally.This was also one of the reasons why Shi Wanwan was reluctant to return to Beijing.

"Mother, I really like being in Jiangnan." After Yan's absence, Chu Yutang sympathized with Xu's hardships over the years, and has changed his name in private to call her a mother.As his wife, Shi Wanwan naturally would not disagree with her on this matter, after all, Xu also gave her the maternal love she had lost for many years.

Xu smiled softly, thinking about how to speak next.In fact, she didn't know anything during this period of time, but the news from the capital made her have to ask first.After all, I still have to think about Chu Yutang. If Shi Wanwan is determined to return to Beijing, then Chu Yutang, as the married son-in-law, naturally has no reason to stay in Jiangnan alone.

Shi Wanwan seems to understand Xu's mentality very well. Although she has never been a mother, nor has a younger sister than herself, it seems that she doesn't need to worry about others for others since she was a child.But when she met Chu Yutang and loved someone with all her heart, she began to experience this state of mind.

"Mother, if you have something to say, you might as well just say it, are you still so alien to me?" During the time Shi Wanwan was in Jiangnan, she was also slowly changing.In the past, she would rather rot in her stomach than say it so bluntly.

After all, in the Xiangfu's rules, speaking like this is not only impolite, but also stupid, because the person who speaks first will always reveal his cards before the other party.But during these days in the south of the Yangtze River, Shi Wanwan suffered pain that she had never experienced before, but it was physically, but her heart was much more relaxed than when she was in the capital.So the question Xu wanted to ask her, she had already thought about it many times in her heart.

"Wanwan, in fact, mother just wanted to ask what you mean. After all, it's not too short to leave the capital. Have you ever been homesick? Do you plan to go back?" Seeing that Shi Wanwan didn't play tricks, Mrs. Xu concealed herself, so she I'm sorry.

Shi Wanwan thought for a while, then curled the corners of her mouth slowly, and said: "It's natural to think about it. Who doesn't want to miss their own home after going out for a long time. But after staying in Jiangnan for a long time, and getting along with you for a long time, I will realize how much I am. Therefore, I will feel reluctant to leave any home for too long.”

Xu's heart tightened when she heard Shi Wanwan's opening words, but after listening to the second half, she felt sweet again.Shi Wanwan's way of expressing her emotions is different from Chu Yutang's. She doesn't like to express her anger and emotions, and her words are too revealing, but she has also been making changes during this period of time.At least now, she no longer deliberately hides her attachment to someone or something.

"Then Wanwan, what do you mean?" Xu still wanted to get a clear answer.

Shi Wanwan put down her needlework, she had been embroidering a purse for Chu Yutang just now.He stretched out his hand, held Xu's hand, and said: "Mother, there have been a lot of changes in the capital before, and I couldn't go back because I was in a coma and didn't know about it. Now the situation is stable, and we should all go back and have a look. .”

"Oh, I understand." Xu's eyes drooped a little, but she still expressed her understanding of Shi Wanwan.

"It's just that we will rush back to celebrate the New Year. After all, Jiangnan will be my home from now on."

Shi Wanwan's words made Xu's somewhat dejected eyes brighten immediately, she looked at Shi Wanwan in disbelief, her lips trembled slightly, as if she didn't dare to understand what she just heard in her own way.

Shi Wanwan looked at Xu Shi indifferently, and nodded lightly, but her face showed an unquestionable affirmation.Her statement was nothing more than the removal of Chu Yutang's status as the son-in-law of the prime minister's mansion.From now on, she, Shi Wanwan, will marry into the Chu family and become the daughter-in-law of the Chu family.

"Wan Wan!" Xu Shi was very excited, holding Shi Wan Wan's hand tightly, but couldn't say any more words.

This decision, after Shi Wanwan woke up, had already been silently formed in her heart.It's just that the capital city was in turmoil at that time, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was still in crisis. As the daughter of the Shi family, it was impossible for her to disregard her relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time.Now that the situation is stable, the prime minister's mansion has not only returned to its peak, it has even become more glorious, and won the appreciation and reliance of the prince at that time and now the new emperor.Then Shi Wanwan was considered unfilial if she married from the Xiangfu.

In Xu's heart, she was sincerely grateful to Shi Wanwan, and even had some admiration.After all, not everyone is willing to take the risk of a lifetime with Chu Yutang who disguises herself as a man.No matter how long the quiet years pass, only one day the truth will be revealed, it will still be a storm, and the two women can only depend on each other.But Shi Wanwan not only did not back down at all, but chose to rely on Chu Yutang without hesitation when the position of the prime minister was more consolidated. It has to be said that only deep feelings can make a woman so desperate.

Shi Wanwan was so decisive, which made Xu very pleased and fortunate.Fortunately, Chu Yutang finally chose Shi Wanwan instead of the femme fatale Liu Yu'an!However, Liu Yu'an's secret change of fate for Chu Yutang has not been completely resolved until now, and it is also a sharp sword hanging in everyone's heart, stabbing everyone's heart from time to time.

It's just that the so-called expert who was escorted to the south of the Yangtze River by Princess Changle only knew the layout, but didn't know how to solve the deadlock.After all, after all these years, almost no one would choose to turn back.This is a road with no turning back at all, but Shi Wanwan doesn't believe that there will be cause and effect in this world, so she not only keeps the man under house arrest in the Chu Mansion, but also looks for the man's master everywhere, hoping to find a turning point.

"I have lived this age. Yu'er has suffered a lot of grievances for me since she was a child, but she keeps silent in her heart. Don't look at her smiling all day long, in fact, she is just stupid! So The obedience I have cultivated over the years is probably because I have set a bad example. As a mother, I have really failed." Xu sighed quietly, and she was full of guilt for Chu Yutang.

Shi Wanwan knew that she couldn't completely blame Xu Shi, after all, because of love and hatred, Yan Shi distortedly imposed all the love and hatred for Master Chu on Chu Yutang, which led to the current situation.If Chu Yutang hadn't inherited Xu's kind and honest character, he would have been unbearable to oppression, let alone maintain his current optimism and innocence.

"Mother, it is the greatest blessing that a husband is like you."

Under the joint layout of Chu Yutang and Boss Ju, Liu Yu'an's vanity was so strong that she even thought that she could monopolize the supply of tea and wine brewing in the entire Jiangnan, and Chu Yutang actually let go, willing to let the Liu Family Tea Garden introduce new buyers. , In this way, in addition to the purchase volume of Chu's firm, Liu Yu'an can make a lot of money.Just thinking about such a scene made her wake up in the middle of the night laughing.

It's just that the prefect of Jiangzhou is also a lion, and the amount demanded is getting bigger and bigger, otherwise he won't be willing to facilitate the export of his own raw materials.This made Liu Yu'an very annoyed, but he had to satisfy him. After all, he was a local official, no matter how rich he was, he couldn't afford to offend him.At that time, a word from the government to seal off a few of his shops will be enough to make him in a hurry.

It's a pity that King Qi lost power, and the silver he contributed was wasted, and the prefect of Jiangzhou will be replaced sooner or later.Liu Yu'an admired Chu Yutang's good luck from the bottom of her heart, so that she would not curry favor with anyone, and because of her relationship with the Prime Minister's House, she was able to dominate the Jiangnan business community.The bosses of many shops lined up to curry favor with Chu Yutang, and they didn't care about paying on credit after supplying the goods. They made it clear that they were sending money to Chu's shop.

"It's true that stupid people have stupid blessings. The stupider they are, the better their luck." Liu Yu'an thought fiercely in her heart.

However, Liu Yu'an immediately laughed darkly again, thinking that he was holding Chu Yutang's biggest secret, if he used this as a threat, he would not be afraid that Chu Yutang would not agree to any of his conditions.As long as the secret of Chu Yutang's identity is revealed, no matter how other people react, she will not be able to explain it to the Prime Minister's Mansion alone.

It's just that Liu Yu'an's sweet dream didn't last long, one day she was awakened by a hasty knock on the door.I just drank too much the night before, so I wanted to sleep a little longer, but I woke up earlier than usual.

"Boss Liu, something has happened!" The current Liu Yu'an likes to be called the boss, not Miss.

"What's the matter? You're in a panic." Her eyes were sleepy, and she still had the headache from last night's hangover.

"People from the shop said that several bosses are waiting in the shop, saying that there is something wrong with the goods we provided, and they want to explain to us!"

"What!" Liu Yu'an was shocked.

It's just that these new bosses are not kind, no matter how Liu Yu'an explains and guarantees, they just refuse to believe her.All requests for return processing, and double compensation for their losses.Luckily for the Guangbei family, Liu Yu'an was really powerless to defend against the joint claims of these several families.

Misfortunes never come singly. Before the company's problems were fully resolved, rumors suddenly spread that Liu Yu'an was actually the murderer of Liu Yuanwai, and the boatman and his son who were bribed by her at that time had been found and confessed all their crimes.The young master of the Liu family who was framed and imprisoned was also released recently, and all the blame was directed at Liu Yu'an.

But when Liu Yu'an was still trying to quibble, her backer, the prefect of Jiangzhou, was dismissed by an imperial decree, and the imperial envoy who came to announce the decree was the young master of the prime minister's mansion, Shi Langyun.Seeing that the general situation was over, Liu Yu'an still wanted to make a final struggle, preparing to expose Chu Yutang's identity, and at worst would drag Chu Yutang to his death.

But before she found the opportunity, she was found dead in her room the next day.There are many versions of rumors among the people, and the most credible one is that Liu Yu'an committed many crimes, saw the evidence of his crime exposed, and committed suicide by taking poison.It's just that Wu Zuo didn't find any toxin residue in Liu Yu'an's body, but he had no breathing.

The young master of the Liu family, who had been wronged for a long time, returned to Liu's mansion and took back his own things. Seeing that Liu Yu'an's courtyard had been silent for a long time, he specially ordered his servants to change the other courtyard where he lived into a utility room and no longer live in it.

The housekeeper was ordered to clean up and renovate, and when he opened the dusty door, a strange smell came in.The housekeeper hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and said, "Hurry up, clean it up, it smells like hell! Throw everything away, and burn what you can't throw away!"

The servants were also nimble. After a while, the wind blowing in from the window gradually blew away the smell. The butler glanced at the teacups on the table and the incense burner on the cabinet, and couldn't help frowning.

"And these, all cleaned up! Don't leave any of them!" The housekeeper pointed to the place he saw just now, and after a while, the entire room was empty.

All traces of Liu Yu'an in the Liu Mansion seemed to be wiped away just like that.Since then, no one in the Liu Mansion has mentioned this name again.

In order to thank Boss Ju for his great help and generosity, and to expand his new business, Chu Yutang decided to go with Boss Ju to the outside of the Great Wall after accompanying Shi Wanwan back to Beijing.It was rare for the boss to be so generous that he was willing to introduce his partners outside the Great Wall to him. This was like sending charcoal in a timely manner to the Chu family firm, which had been severely injured because of sponsoring the crown prince's accession to the throne.

"Wanwan, do you really want to go outside the Great Wall with me? I heard that there is a lot of wind and sand, and the conditions are very difficult." Chu Yutang accompanied Shi Wanwan to sort out the things for returning to Beijing, and chatted about the plans after returning to Beijing. .

"You don't want me to be with you?" Shi Wanwan raised her voice at the end.

Chu Yutang's hand, which was arranging things, suddenly trembled, and the soreness in his fingertips from last night's fierce fighting was still obvious.But her deeper understanding is that if she doesn't answer this sentence well, then for a long time to come, she will not be able to experience such a ecstasy of sourness again.

"Of course I want to be with you all the time, don't I feel bad for you to follow me to go outside the Great Wall and get hurt." Chu Yutang quickly explained with a smile on his face.

Shi Wanwan snorted softly, and said: "If you really love me, then treat me better, don't be tireless at night, you won't stop no matter what."

Chu Yutang scratched the back of his head pretending not to know, and said with a simple and honest smile: "Who told you to call it so nicely, whoever heard it is willing to stop."
