Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1255: Chapter 1252: Parting Gift Chapter 1255: Chapter 1252: Parting Gift “You did the right thing.”

“Let’s go, let’s return to Yuzhou.”

After all, Yuzhou is the Zhao family’s ancestral home. Although there are no longer any officials in the Zhao family, and they are now demoted, life must go on. Today, Ye Muyu made an appearance, and with in-laws, there was a decline in status in Yuzhou, but with the Zhao family’s years of savings, they shouldn’t have to suffer too much hardship. Enduring some grievances was still better than living in the capital.

At the Zhao family’s gate.

Ye Muyu heard the words of the nanny beside Madam Zhao. Ultimately, she did not refuse, “Tell the lady, thank you for the kind offer; I hope to meet outside the city.”

After the nanny agreed and bowed, she turned and went back inside the mansion.

The Chu family’s carriage then headed out of the city.

“There is no problem with the main household of the Zhao family, but what foolish thing did the second household do?” Madam Liu sighed, though she was well aware that such affairs were too common in the capital. Perhaps, on the surface, these families seemed prosperous, but privately, they committed many deeds that harmed others as well as themselves.

Outside the city gate.

Ye Muyu and Madam Liu spoke for a while, then heard the bustling noise outside.

Madam Liu lifted the curtain and saw a continuous line of carriage convoys coming out from the city gate.

The Zhao family’s convoy was not long; it included only five carriages carrying the female family members and the head of the household.

Following behind were two mule carts, loaded with trunks and cages.

The hired Escort Agency was guarding, and there were not many servants.

Even so, it still attracted the townspeople to gather around and watch the excitement.

Su Mei had already been waiting at the city gate, and she had given some silver rewards to the guards there, asking them not to make things difficult for the Zhao family.

The guards at the city gate had to give face to the Chu family, and having received the silver, naturally let them pass easily.

But the luggage was still checked once, though not so roughly, which was already considered good.

After the Zhao family’s carriage convoy left the city gate, they stopped at a location to the side.

The area outside the city gate was very spacious.

When the Zhao family’s convoy stopped, it did not cause a traffic jam.

Su Mei found Madam Zhao and the old master Zhao, spoke a few words, then came back to report to Ye Muyu.

Ye Muyu and Madam Liu then took their maidservants and two guards over.

Zhao Qingqing had been waiting in the carriage for a long time; she was riding in the same carriage as Madam Zhao.

Madam Zhao saw her emotional state and frowned, “Qingqing, mind your composure.”

“Mother, I just wanted to see Sister Ye before leaving, as I don’t know when I’ll have the chance again.” Zhao Qingqing’s eyes were a bit red, her voice tinged with a sob, “Mother, may I go down to see Sister Ye? She’s pregnant, and she has been feeling very unwell recently, yet she came all the way to see me, I… ”

“Alright, go ahead,” sighed Madam Zhao softly. She was concerned that her daughter might lose composure, given that nowadays it was exceedingly rare for the Zhao family even to speak with Madam Chu.

She also stepped down from the carriage.

Zhao Qingqing lifted her skirt and stepped down. Seeing Ye Muyu approaching, she hurried over, “Sister Ye.”

Her eyes were red-rimmed. Seeing Madam Liu nearby, she quickly greeted, “Auntie.”

Madam Liu saw the young girl’s endearing face, which was still swollen from crying, and sighed softly at the sight of the prolonged weeping, “Ah Yu, you accompany the young lady for a chat. Mother will go meet Madam Zhao.”

“Mother, thank you,” Ye Muyu nodded gently.

Madam Liu also instructed the two maidservants to take good care of Ye Muyu before she went to meet Madam Zhao. Originally, Madam Liu felt insecure when encountering these ladies, but since she had been to the palace a few times, she no longer felt the instinctive insecurity she used to feel. Now, her interactions with other ladies had become much more natural.

“Sister Ye, thank you,” Zhao Qingqing reached out and grasped her hand.
