Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

The next morning, the old housekeeper ordered people to prepare breakfast, and everyone set off after breakfast.

Unlike the trip here, there was an extra carriage on the return trip, and not only that, there were also dozens of extra guards.

Shen Ping sat in a carriage by herself, with Tiechui as the driver again. Cuihong and Cui Feng sat in another carriage, driven by the middle guard Pang Yan. The Tenth Prince sat in another carriage, driven by the guard Qiao Feng.

Chen Bi and two guards rode tall horses in front, while the other guards followed behind the carriage. The group set out from the palace in a mighty procession.

Chen Bi and his group were not wearing civilian clothes, but military uniforms. He Li originally wanted to let them wear civilian clothes, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

This not only avoids the attention of some criminals, but also allows you to travel more efficiently.

Facts have proved that this is correct. Many people along the way took the initiative to give way to them when they saw them, for fear that they would not be able to avoid them in time.

Because the weather is warmer now, the return trip is obviously much faster than the way here.

Shen Ping and his group were eager to return home, and they hurried along the way without any delay. They would look for a hotel to stay in before dark. If they really couldn't find an inn, they would find an open place to stay for the night.

Shen Ping and the prince slept in the carriage, while the others slept on the ground. They walked like this for nearly two months, from the end of May to the middle of July, when the weather went from slightly cool to hot.

Soon they arrived at the prefectural territory. When they saw the prefectural boundary marker, Shen Ping's eyes felt inexplicably hot. Prefect, she was finally back.

Not only did he return, he also brought his son-in-law back with him, and they were all safe and sound. He even opened two more shops.

Not only Shen Ping was excited, He Li was also extremely excited. In a few days, he would be able to see his beloved Erya.

I heard from my mother that Erya is pregnant. Counting the days, she should be seven months pregnant now. He will soon be a father! Thinking of this, He Li's mouth curled up.

Although He Li appears to be unruly and indifferent on the surface, he is a sensitive person at heart.

When she was a child, she was always ridiculed because of her mother's background and status. Even the eunuchs and palace maids bullied her when they got the chance. But her mother was good to her, but good people don't live long.

Since his mother passed away, he felt even more helpless. Perhaps it was this kind of growing environment that made him unwilling to trust people and difficult to open his heart to anyone.

Although I have a father, he is very busy with state affairs and has many children, so he hardly takes care of me.

Fortunately, Seventh Brother was still able to say a few words to him at that time, and he was the only one among the brothers who did not exclude him.

After his father passed away, he felt even more like an orphan. Even his seventh brother, who used to have a say in him, became cold and distant to him and inexplicably suspicious of him since he became the emperor.

Fortunately, fortunately he finally found his love, and now he has a child. He finally feels that he has a home.

The group finally arrived at the prefectural government before dark. Because they had received a letter in advance, the prefectural governor, Xu Mingchang, had already made preparations.

Waiting for them to arrive, we arranged a place for them to stay.

There was another reason for going to the prefectural government this time, and that was because the emperor had issued an imperial edict, ordering Jinyiwei Chen Bi to bring the edict to the prefectural government.

The princess was a beggar at the time, and was fortunately taken back to the mansion by Xu Mingchang and adopted as his goddaughter. Otherwise, the princess would not know where she would end up.

Not only that, but he also told the emperor about these princesses and treated them as his own children.

Moreover, when Xu Mingchang was transporting high-yield rice, he also tried his best to help and made contributions to the court. Therefore, he was promoted to the governor of Liaodong and took office immediately.

Xu Mingchang led the people in the mansion to kneel and listen to Chen Bi read the imperial edict. After taking the edict, he was extremely excited.

I thought that since Xu Feng let Shen Ping go to Beijing, any benefits would not fall on me. I didn't expect that this goddaughter had not forgotten them and even spoke well of me.

Of course, his promotion to a higher position was not entirely due to the princess’s credit. The emperor also made the decision after careful consideration and careful scrutiny. Of course, the princess was also a factor.

Unexpectedly, when Madam Shen and her group returned from the capital, her husband was promoted again. Dong was so happy that she was overwhelmed.

At first she was depressed, thinking that if her goddaughter was brought to the capital by Shen Ping, wouldn't all the credit be taken away by her? Unexpectedly, it had no impact at all.

Her husband, on the other hand, was promoted to governor without any effort.

Dong quickly asked the kitchen to prepare more main dishes. After all, there were more than 30 of them, and most of them were men. They had been traveling and sleeping in the open air for some time, and they certainly had not had many good meals.

Soon, dinner was ready. There were chicken, duck, fish, braised pork, pig's trotters, both meat and vegetarian dishes, a total of 12 dishes, divided into five tables.

At this time, Xu Hao and Wuchun also came back, and they were both very happy to see Shen Ping. After not seeing each other for half a year, Wuchun had grown taller visibly.

Now it was at Shen Ping's ears, estimated to be about 1.5 meters tall. Wu Chun was more calm than before, and although he was happy to see Shen Ping, he just bowed respectfully and greeted her.

In February of the new year, Wuchun originally wanted to take the examination for the scholar, but he thought that he was not well prepared, so he postponed it for another year.

Now he has one more year to prepare for the exam and get the title of scholar next year. Wuchun basically doesn't require Shen Ping to worry about him. He has his own plans, and Shen Ping is happy to have some free time.

This Xu Hao looked much more mature, with a stronger build, and he began to grow stubble.

This year is already the second year since he passed the examination for a scholar, and he will also take the examination for a juren next year. He dare not relax at all now. He and Wuchun both have their own goals, and they are determined to achieve them.

So I go out early and come back late every day, and all I do is study.

Mrs. Dong also let them study with peace of mind and did not let them interfere in household affairs.

Mo Ru's daughter is now one and a half years old. The little girl is smart, cute and naughty. I heard from Mrs. Dong that Mo Ru is now pregnant with her second child, and she is already five months pregnant.

She felt sleepy all day long. When Shen Ping came, she was still sleeping. It was only when it was time for dinner that she found out that her godmother had returned from the capital.

"Mom, godmother is here, why didn't you wake me up." Mo Ru looked at his mother-in-law, Mrs. Dong.

"You were vomiting all day long some time ago, and I saw that you didn't sleep well. Now that you are sleeping well, I wanted to avoid waking you up~" Dong said with concern.

Shen Ping smiled and said, "Your mother-in-law is right. It's rare that you can fall asleep, so just sleep well. I can't leave for a while, so there's no need to rush."

As they were talking, the family had already prepared the food and Mrs. Dong invited everyone to eat.

Shen Ping sat with Lord Xu's family, He Li and Chen Bi. The other guards were divided into three tables. Cui Hong and the others sat with the servants.

During this period of time, everyone was busy traveling and did not eat or sleep well. Now that they arrived at the prefecture, everyone relaxed.

In addition, the meals prepared by Mrs. Dong included a combination of vegetables, meat, and vegetables, which greatly increased people's appetite.

Everyone took their bowls and started eating without hesitation, enjoying the meal to their heart's content.
