The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Jiang Ci walked to the bedside. Yan Shu smelled the smell of alcohol, stood up, walked to him and reached out to take off his red wedding dress.

Looking at the woman right in front of him, Jiang Ci's eyes were full of tenderness.

He reached out and embraced Yan Shu in his arms, leaning towards her with a slightly coquettish tone.

"lady."

"Drunk?"

"Just a few drinks."

Yan Shu said disdainfully, "You smell so much of alcohol, are you sure you only drank a few glasses?"

Jiang Ci held her waist tightly and said, "I'm happy today and want to drink a few more glasses. You don't know how nervous I have been these past few months. Even though you are by my side, I still often wake up in the dead of night, afraid that everything is just a dream."

Yan Shu hugged him back and patted his back gently: "I won't abandon you this time. The child and I will always be with you in the days to come."

"Jiaojiao, don't lie to me again."

Yan Shu said gently, "Not this time."

Jiang Ci hesitated for a moment and asked, "When do we leave?"

Yan Shu pulled Jiang Ci to the bed and sat down, then he sat on his lap.

"I want to go back to Xinyang Prefecture and Nanwei Prefecture. Before I leave, I want to visit my home in Qingjiu Village."

Jiang Ci hugged her and nodded with a smile: "Okay, there are many memories of us in that place, and we can also take the baby in our belly back to have a look this time."

"The villagers are all living in Banpo Village. I don't know if the houses in Qingjiu Village and Xinghua Village are still there. My parents and brother don't know that we are leaving. In fact, I think that even if I leave this small world, I can still come back often in the future. Separation is for better encounters. I don't want to make everyone too sad."

Jiang Ci said: "Can we come back in the future?"

Yan Shu shook the silver lock around his neck, and the small town received the message and responded quickly.

"Isn't your wedding today? Why are you looking for me at this time?"

Yan Shu smiled and said, "I'll treat you to some wedding candy."

"Tsk! I can't even transform into a human form right now, you're just deliberately envying me, tell me, what do you want from me?"

Yan Shu did not beat around the bush and said directly: "If we want to come back in the future, can you accurately locate us?"

The little town shook the silver bell: "In principle, it is possible, but you know that my energy medal is serious. If I can eat a few Fengling Pills..."

"No problem. How about sending us back every time and giving us the Fengling Pill in exchange?"

The little town boy was shocked: "Are you sure you can be the master of the master?"

Yan Shu smiled and said, "Although I can't make decisions for my father, I am his daughter. It shouldn't be difficult for him to teach me the formula of Feng Ling Dan."

"Okay, okay, as long as I have the Fengling Pill to help me improve my cultivation, it won't be a big problem to send you back to see your family regularly."

"Then it's settled."

After getting the reply from the small town, Yan Shu looked at Jiang Ci with a smile.

"Maybe we can come back and see them more often in the future."

Jiang Ci said softly, "Everything is up to you, Madam. Whenever you want to come back, I will come back with you."

"Tsk tsk, the sour smell of love, goodbye!" As soon as the words fell, the white light lingering around the silver lock disappeared instantly.

next day

Jiang Ci woke up early in the morning. He glanced at Yan Shu who was sleeping beside him, got out of bed carefully, put on his clothes, stood up and walked out of the room.

The maid who was cleaning the yard saw Jiang Ci coming out and immediately bowed respectfully.

"Your servant pays respect to the Emperor."

"From now on, just call me Master in the mansion."

"Yes, master."

Jiang Ci instructed: "Madam is sleepy, don't make too much noise in the yard."

"Slave, you obey!"

After instructing the servants, Jiang Ci left the mansion.

Yan Shu slept until noon before getting up. After getting up, he washed and combed his hair into an exquisite bun with the help of his maid. He changed into a red dress and prepared to go back to the Yan Mansion next door. Just as he was about to go out, he ran into Jiang Ci who had rushed back.

"Jiaojiao, are you going out?"

Yan Shu nodded and said, "It's time to go back home today. I saw that you were not at home and thought that the Yan family was next door, so I just went there by myself."

Jiang Ci walked up to her with a smile and held her hand.

"How can it be reasonable to let the bride go back to her parents' home on the second day of her wedding? Look at these."

Yan Shu looked in the direction Jiang Ci pointed, and saw two large carts full of gifts parked outside the door.

"This is?"

"I prepared the return gift early in the morning."

"You went out early in the morning to prepare these?"

Jiang Ci nodded: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law married you to me. I must remember this kindness in my heart. I will prepare more gifts to show my care for their daughter."

Yan Shu had a smile on his face: "In fact, even if I don't give you a gift, my parents will know that you care about me very much."

The emperor waited for eight years for a person whose life or death was unknown, and was willing to give up the throne for her. She and everyone in the Yan family would not doubt his feelings for her.

"let's go."

"it is good."

The two returned to the Yan family hand in hand.

Yan Ersheng and Liu Wenniang had been waiting since early morning. They were overjoyed to see Yan Shu and Jiang Ci return. There were no guests from outside today, only the family sitting together to have a reunion dinner.

Yan Shu had not seen Yan Huai come back for a long time. Normally, he should have left the court at this time.

"Where's the third brother?"

Yan Wen said, "Yesterday, your third brother went out with Yu Tang, Qi Tianyi and the others, saying they wanted to get together after not seeing each other for a long time. But he didn't come back all night. He must have drunk too much and fell asleep somewhere."

Yan Shu asked worriedly, "Is he accompanied by any followers?"

"With two secret guards, he is an official appointed by the court and nothing will happen to him."

Seeing that Yan Shu was still worried, Jiang Ci called Ying Si over and said, "Go check the whereabouts of Third Brother Yan."

"Yes, Master!"

Ying Si left for half an hour and returned in a hurry.

"Master, Lord Yan is in Wuling Palace right now."

Yan Shu had just eaten a plum and it almost got stuck in his throat. Jiang Ci also frowned slightly.

The other people in the family didn't know what Xiao Yan was thinking, and they were relieved to know that Yan Huai was in Wuling Palace.

Yan Wu said: "The third brother has a good relationship with Xiao Yan. Maybe Xiao Yan was also at the party last night."

Jiang Ci looked at Yan Shu and said, "Do you want to go to the palace?"

Yan Shu took a sip of tea to calm his heart, then wiped his hands with a handkerchief.

He stood up hastily: "Let's go, let's go and take a look."

After leaving the Yan Mansion, Yan Shu and Jiang Ci took a carriage to the residence of King Wuling in the capital.

When the guard saw Jiang Ci, he immediately knelt down and saluted.

"I pay my respects to the Emperor."

"Is your prince in the palace?"

"The prince is in the palace."

"Take us to him."

"Yes!"

The guard immediately took Jiang Ci and Yan Shu into the palace and came to Xiao Yan's yard.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment. I will go in and pass the message."

The guard hurried to Xiao Yan's door and was about to knock when the door opened and Xiao Yan walked out slowly.

He was stunned when he saw Jiang Ci and Yan Shu standing at the gate of the courtyard.

"Why are you here?"

Yan Shu glanced into the open room and said, "My Lord, is my third brother in your house?"

Xiao Yan subconsciously looked back.

"Little sister!"

Yan Huai's voice was heard from inside the house, and a moment later a tall and handsome man in an official robe walked out.

Yan Shu's gaze fell on his fair neck, the bright red mark said it all.

A layer of dark clouds covered his forehead and a bolt of thunder struck down.

On the way back, Yan Shu opened her mouth several times but hesitated to speak.

Yan Huai said with relief: "Little sister, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

"Third brother, my parents are looking forward to your early marriage. If they knew about you and Xiao Yan, I'm afraid they would find it difficult to accept it for a while."

Yan Huai was silent for a while: "I used to be very conflicted, but this time when I went to Nanyang Prefecture to rescue the victims of drought and flood, I lived and died with him many times. When death comes, it seems that all the rules and dogmas are not important. People should live according to their deepest feelings. I can't deceive myself and marry an innocent girl and ruin her life, so I am destined to be alone in this life."

Yan Shu said: "I can see that Xiao Yan is sincere. As long as Third Brother makes a choice, I will support your decision."

Jiang Ci sat next to Yan Shu without saying a word. Matters of the heart cannot be forced. Two people who love each other will continue to be entangled no matter what happens. This was the case with him and the little fox, and also with Xiao Yan and Yan Huai. Just let everything go with the flow.

Yan Shu kept the matter of Yan Huai and Xiao Yan a secret from everyone in the Yan family. This was Third Brother's own business, and it was up to him to decide whether or not to tell it.

After three days of rest, Yan Shu, Jiang Ci and the Yan family finally set out on the journey back to Xinyang Prefecture.

On the day of departure, the new emperor Ye Lanzheng came in person to see him off. Madam Liu, Liu Yunzhao's family, Prime Minister Su, Old Madam Su, Su Tang, Wen Yutang, Qi Tianyi, Xiao Yan, Wei Zhao and General Feng were also all there.

Elder Feng walked up to Yan Shu and looked at her deeply, then said to Jiang Ci in a deep voice: "Your wife is pregnant, take good care of her on the way back to Xinyang."

"My grandson has taken note of it."

Yan Shu understood that General Feng felt guilty for forcing her to leave. She gently stroked her belly and said to General Feng: "We will find time to come back to Beijing to see you after the baby is born."

Old Feng's cloudy eyes lit up slightly: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

Now Old Feng is in his seventies and his health is getting worse. Two days ago, Yan Shu made some medicine for his condition and asked Jiang Ci to deliver it to him. After taking it for two days, he looks much better. I hope that the old man will still be healthy when they come back in the future.

Afterwards, he said goodbye to all the people who came to see him off one by one, and Yan Shu waved to everyone reluctantly, not knowing when he would see them again.

"Take care, everyone. Goodbye!"

Yan Shu and Jiang Ci were in a carriage, followed by their shadow guards on horseback. Yan Wen and Yan Wu were also on horses. Yan Ersheng drove the carriage with Liu Wenniang, Xu Shuangxue, and Liu Yuanxin, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Yan Huai was working in the capital, and now that the new emperor had just ascended the throne and needed him just right, he could not leave the capital for the time being and could only watch his family leave reluctantly.

On the way back to Xinyang, they took a detour to Qinghe County.

Now the head of the Cui family has been handed over to Grandpa Cui, and all business matters are handled by Grandpa Cui and Cui Mengsheng and his son. Grandpa Cui is over 80 years old and has aged a lot, but because he had practiced with Xiao Zhenzi before, he is still in very good health.

The moment he saw Yan Shu, Mr. Cui's eyes were visibly red.

"When I saw your body being sent back to the capital, I didn't believe it at all. So many strange things happened to you, it's impossible for you to die so easily. Later, the town disappeared, so I guessed that it must be related to your death."

Yan Shu said: "I'm sorry to have made you worried."

"Just be glad you came back safely. Jiang Ci has been waiting for you for so many years, and now he is finally the one waiting for you. I was worried that he would end up living alone for the rest of his life."

After he finished speaking, Mr. Cui's gaze fell on Yan Shu's lower abdomen.

"Is it true this time?"

Yan Shu smiled and nodded: "Just over two months."

Cui Lao nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, okay, you are not young anymore and it is time for you to be parents. By the way, how is Xiao Zhenzi?"

Yan Shu took off the silver lock from his neck and shook it gently a few times.

After a moment, the sound of the small town came from inside.

"what happened again?"

Elder Cui stared at Yinsuo and shouted excitedly, "Master..."

"Huh? That voice sounds familiar. Where are you guys?"

Yan Shu explained: "We have arrived at Qinghe."

The little town rang the bell twice: "Hey, it's my good disciple, you are still alive?"

Mr. Cui: ...

The two tears that were about to fall were instantly retracted.

"Master, can you please wish me well?"

Xiao Zhenzi chuckled: "You are so old, I am just worried about you."

"You'd better not worry about me in the future."

At this time, a woman's voice came from outside. Yan Shu smiled and said, "It's my mother and the others. I'll go over to take a look."

"Go ahead. Since you are here, stay for a few more days. They were sad for a long time after learning about your death."

"Everything is arranged by grandpa."

Yan Shu bowed and handed the silver bell to Cui Lao: "I think you and Xiao Xiaozi will still reminisce about the past, so you can keep it for now."

"Alright, I've encountered some peace in my practice, and I need to discuss this with Master."

After Yan Shu left, Cui Lao held the little town in his hands and asked, "Master, didn't you transform into a human? Why did you transform back?"

"Well, it's a long story..."
