The New Year was coming soon, so Old Lady Xia asked her second son and his family to return to the princess's mansion.

Although she also wanted to reunite her family, Princess Yi Yang only had this one daughter.

Chang Yue was naturally very grateful.

"Let's go, let's go. It's not far anyway. It will take only an incense stick of time to get there. You can come back anytime you want." Old Mrs. Xia urged.

"Grandma, you are really the best grandma in the world." Xia Zhiliao praised sweetly.

Old Madam Xia snorted, "You are the only one who can coax me. I don't care about others. You have to come back often, or I will leave you."

"No problem, grandma, if you're willing, I can come three times a day, as long as you don't bother me."

"That's not necessary." Old Mrs. Xia said with a smile.

Everyone was also amused by the words of the grandparents and grandchildren.

As soon as Xia Zhiyi left, the General's Mansion became quieter and quieter, as if half of its territory was missing.

Although there were children from the Mu family present, they were too well-behaved and only knew how to study on weekdays. Only the youngest, Mu Zhuoxuan, could talk and laugh.

In fact, everyone knows that the children of the Mu family are determined to make a name for themselves and bring their father back from the far north.

Lu Ruoyan’s death was quickly overshadowed by the upcoming New Year’s Eve.

After all, other people are just pretending to celebrate and have been looking forward to the New Year for a whole year.

And these days, the princes in the palace have not come to see Xia Zhi, probably because they are all busy.

She was also happy and at ease, but she was not idle either. After all, her fate was not completely secure yet, and she was also paying attention to the big and small things in the capital.

On New Year's Eve, the princess's mansion was very lively, and the firecrackers alone lasted for nearly an hour.

Although it was a lot of money, I was really happy, and there were also those fireworks.

Xia Zhiliao couldn't help but think that the fireworks in ancient times were also so beautiful.

As for the New Year's money, there is no need to say more. Xia Zhiliao made a lot of money by himself, and even gave some to Aunt Cui.

The brothers also gave theirs to her.

She could hardly hold it all by herself.

"This New Year's Eve is the happiest I've seen the princess in all the years she's lived."

Nanny Cui was combing Princess Yi Yang's hair. Some people were still awake outside and setting off firecrackers. The children had all gone home, and she was planning to take a rest as well.

Princess Yiyang smiled happily, "Before we were alone, now we are a family. Look how cute those children are. Who wouldn't be happy? If he were here too, he would definitely be happier than me."

Nanny Cui didn't dare to respond, for fear of bringing up Princess Yi Yang's sad memories.

"If he were alive, he would definitely hold Zhiliao in his hands and cherish her. He treated Yue'er the same way back then. A relative of a generation is a relative of a generation, so this must be even better."

Aunt Cui sighed, "Does the princess miss the general?"

Princess Yiyang nodded. "Why not?"

"We have been married for five years and have never had an argument or any unpleasantness. He respects me, protects me and loves me. There is no other good person like him in the world."

"Princess, you have to look forward. If you are happy now, the general will be happy too if he is still alive." Madam Cui advised.

"Yes, but if he were here, our family would be so happy." Princess Yiyang sniffed, "It's New Year's Day, why am I saying all this."

"Yingyu, sit down and talk to me. We have been together for so many years, and we are no longer master and servant."

"Princess!"

"Please sit down." Princess Yi Yang smiled and patted the stool beside her.

Nanny Cui did not refuse anymore, she knew that the princess had been suffering all these years.

I was ill and couldn’t speak before, but now I can. However, the regrets I had for so many years of happiness can never be made up for.

"Yingyu, I've actually been thinking about it, and now it's all good."

"Yes, the princess is filial and the children are obedient."

"But I can't help but wonder, what if it's even better?" Princess Yiyang smiled bitterly, "People are always greedy."

Aunt Cui looked at her and fell into deep thought.

"There are many things that I don't care about, but that doesn't mean I don't know. Before, I had no desire to live, and I was so sick that I didn't have many moments of clarity."

"Princess!"

Princess Yiyang shook her head, signaling her to let her finish, "I can only tell you about the frustration in my heart, and I can't let anyone else know."

"I understand." Nanny Cui said with a serious expression.

"Yuer and the children are my life. If he continues to embarrass them, I don't mind settling the score from the past."

"Princess..." Aunt Cui looked around and made sure there was no one around before she felt relieved. "Princess, are you drunk?"

"I didn't, you know." Princess Yi Yang sneered and said, "I will definitely risk my life to protect my children. If he really wants to do it, I will definitely not stand idly by."

Aunt Cui nodded and said, "Princess, let me help you to bed."

Princess Yiyang sighed, "Maybe I was really drunk and said some nonsense."

"I have forgotten everything."

But Princess Yi Yang, who was lying on the bed, turned over and burst into tears.

She is not a fool, nor is she blind.

There were so many strange things about what happened back then, how could she not be suspicious?

But later she fell ill and was too sick to settle the accounts.

But that was her husband.

He is a loyal general who protects the country.

How could he die like that?

"Yun Lang, it would be great if you were still alive. We wouldn't care about anything, wouldn't ask anything, and would just take care of the children and watch them grow up. Xiao Zhi, our granddaughter is so well-behaved. I've never seen such a sensible child."

"Yun Lang, I know you don't want me to take revenge, but your death is a thorn in my heart."

……

The next morning, Xia Zhiliao and his brothers came to pay New Year's greetings to Princess Yi Yang.

Xia Zhiliao found that her grandmother looked haggard, as if she had not slept all night, and her eyes were a little swollen.

But she didn't say it out loud because she didn't want her three brothers to be straight.

A straight man of steel.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well?" Xia Hai asked, "Was it because the firecrackers were too loud yesterday?"

Princess Yiyang chuckled, "Yes, noisy people can't sleep. I'm old, unlike you, it's hard to fall asleep after bedtime."

There is nothing wrong with this reason, but Xia Zhiliao knows that this is definitely not the case.

I really can’t sleep. Why are my eyes red and swollen?

It was obvious that he had cried, and cried for a long time.

"This is easy. Let my sister make you some soothing medicine soup. You will feel better after drinking it."

"Xia Hai is such a filial child." Princess Yiyang praised, "Today you will follow me to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother. Get ready and we'll set off."

"Grandma, are you okay?" Xia Zhiliao asked worriedly, "Do you want to rest? It will be the same if you go tomorrow, right?"
