Neither Xie Jingyan nor Yan Zheng took a break for the entire morning.
They did not stay in the Yan Mansion for long. They just went to the ancestral hall to burn incense, told Old Tutor Yan and the Yan family members who were in the netherworld about the overturning of the case of Concubine Chen, and then left the Yan Mansion.
Although there are some servants in the Yan Mansion, it is much quieter than before. Yan Zheng can't wait to go to the Wang family to bring his sister Yan Qing'er back to the mansion.
There are also younger brothers and sisters who are raised in the hometown of the Minister of Justice. When the Minister of Justice returns home from court, the first thing he does is send the manager to his hometown to pick them up. If things go well, they can be brought back to Beijing in half a month.
Since the last time Yan Qing'er called Xie Jingyan "cousin" on the street, Xie Jingyan hasn't seen her again, so he and Yan Zheng went to Wang's house to pick her up.
The two of them went to the Wang family with generous gifts and a carriage. When the events of the court this morning spread, all the servants of the Wang family knew that the fake third young master of the Wang family who had been disguised as a man for so many years was actually a girl from the Yan family, the cousin of Prince Ling.
Knowing that Xie Jingyan and Yan Zheng had arrived, Mr. Wang hurried out to greet them, fearing that they would be treated badly.
Yan Zheng said with gratitude, "The Wang family has taken care of Qing'er for so many years. Yan Zheng will always remember the kindness of the Wang family and the Minister of Justice to the Yan family."
Mr. Wang said, "Master Yan, you are too kind. It is a blessing for our Wang family to be able to take care of Qing'er."
Although it was a bit risky to keep the girl from the Yan family in the mansion back then, the Minister of Justice had the empress dowager's decree to rescue her, so even if people knew about it, the Wang family would not be implicated. The Wang family had nothing to worry about. On the contrary, Yan Qing'er had lost her memory and really thought they were her biological parents. They really treated Yan Qing'er as their own daughter. Yan Qing'er had a lively personality, and with her in the mansion, there was indeed a lot more joy.
Thinking that they were here to take Yan Qing'er away, not only Madam Wang, but even Mr. Wang felt very uncomfortable.
Mr. Wang asked Xie Jingyan and Yan Zheng to wait in the main hall. After waiting for about a cup of tea, Yan Qing'er came in.
Yan Qing'er changed out of her women's clothes. Since the day she regained her memory, Mrs. Wang had prepared women's clothes for her, and today she could finally wear them.
Yan Qing'er looks very similar to Concubine Chen, and she looks even more like her when she puts on women's clothes. However, Yan Qing'er has been used to wearing men's clothes for so many years, and she feels a little uncomfortable when she suddenly puts on women's clothes. When she sees everyone's eyes on her face, her ears turn red.
Her eyes got redder.
Her memory has been fully restored.
She walked in and called out, "Brother."
He called out to Xie Jingyan again, "Cousin."
Her voice was choked with sobs, and she had to hold back her tears.
Yan Zheng stood up and said, "Don't cry, big brother is here to take you home."
Yan Qing'er nodded repeatedly, and the Dongzhu earrings on her head drew a beautiful arc.
Mrs. Wang's nose was also sour. "After waiting for so many years, the Yan Mansion is finally back, but when I think of Qing'er going back, I feel really bad..."
Yan Zheng said, "Master Wang and Madam Wang treat Qing'er as their own daughter. I want her to recognize you as her adoptive parents. I wonder if you are really willing to have Qing'er as your daughter?"
Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang were stunned, then their brows lit up with joy.
"Yes, of course we are willing."
His voice was trembling with excitement.
Yan Qing'er was also happy. She wanted to go back to the Yan family, but she also couldn't bear to leave the Wang family.
Yan Zheng asked Yan Qing'er to kneel down and acknowledge her adoptive father and mother. Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "This is not allowed..."
Yan Zheng said, "This is what should be done."
Yan Qing'er kowtowed to them, and Mrs. Wang quickly helped Yan Qing'er up.
After being adopted as a goddaughter, Yan Qing'er's reluctance to leave the Wang family was much lessened. She just regarded it as her daughter getting married. Prince Du was very obsessed with Qing'er. Now that Qing'er had recognized her ancestral roots, it would probably not be long before she got married.
Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang saw them off. Yan Qing'er said, "Dad and Mom, Qing'er will come back to see you often."
The words "Dad and Mom" made Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang's eyes moist.
Yan Qing'er had called them that many times before, but she always felt that it was stolen. Now that this name has been approved by the Yan family, she is so happy in her heart.
The maid helped Yan Qing'er get on the carriage. Xie Jingyan and Yan Zheng said goodbye to Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang, then left on horseback.
Xie Jingyan accompanied Yan Zheng to the Wang family to pick someone up, but he did not accompany them back to the Yan family. He still had to go to Han Ge Lao's residence.
We walked down two streets, exchanged a few brief words, and then parted ways.
Yan Zheng took Yan Qing'er back home, and Xie Jingyan rode to the outskirts of the city. However, not long after they separated, Xie Jingyan saw his father, the emperor, who was in the imperial study reviewing memorials on the street.
He was more concealed than yesterday when he rode through the city on horseback and was wearing a mask, but Xie Jingyan still recognized him at a glance.
The father and son met face to face.
Xie Jingyan looked unhappy and blocked the emperor's way, "Mother will not be happy that you neglected state affairs just to leave the palace to see her."
The emperor said, "Father will approve the memorial when he returns."
Eunuch Yuan, "..."
Eunuch Yuan followed behind the emperor and heard the conversation between the father and son. The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Which one is the father and which one is the son?
Xie Jingyan stared at the emperor's face for a while, said nothing more, and rode away.
……
When it was time for lunch, Xie Jingyan didn't come back, so Shen Wan ate lunch alone.
When she woke up from her nap, Shen Wan's first question was to ask Yin Shuang, "Is the prince back?"
Yin Shuang shook her head, "Not back yet."
He hasn't come back yet, but it's normal when you think about it. Cousins haven't seen each other for many years, so they must have a lot to talk about.
After the wet nurse finished feeding the baby, she wanted to take the baby to her, and Shen Wan no longer had the heart to think about anything else.
After playing with the child for a while and just when the child fell asleep, Xie Jingyan's footsteps were heard.
After entering the house, Xie Jingyan took off his fox fur cloak and came over. Shen Wan looked at him, "Did you have lunch at Yan's house?"
Xie Jingyan said, "I ate with Lord Han."
Shen Wan was confused, "Why did he go to Han Ge Lao's house?"
Xie Jingyan said, "Young Master Han committed suicide in the Yan Mansion back then, and it has always been a concern for Elder Han. I know this part, and I must tell Elder Han."
Han Ge Lao accepted the position of chief examiner for the Autumn Examination, but after the examination, Han Ge Lao kept claiming illness and took leave to stay at home.
He did not resign, but he did not attend court either.
Firstly, it was too far from the city to attend court, so Lord Han had to get up half an hour earlier than other ministers. In addition, Young Master Han was related to the case of Concubine Chen, so in order to prevent the Emperor from thinking of Concubine Chen's case when he saw him, Lord Han simply did not attend court. If Xie Jingyan had not wanted to investigate the case of Concubine Chen, Lord Han would not have accepted the imperial edict and returned to the court.
Although the person who plotted against Concubine Chen and Young Master Han has not been found out yet, the Queen Mother admitted in person that Young Master Han was innocent, and the Emperor's knot was untied. When Xie Jingyan went to the outskirts of the city, in addition to telling Lord Han about this, he also persuaded Lord Han to move back to the mansion.
Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan were talking when there was a knock on the window and Chen Yu's voice came, "Master, I have something to report."
Xie Jingyan stood up and walked to the window and pushed it open. Chen Yu said, "The Ministry of Revenue just returned the confiscated items to the Yan Mansion, but a lot of things are missing..."
Chen Yu reported loudly and Shen Wan heard it.
It was the Emperor who ordered the Ministry of Revenue to return the confiscated items to the Yan family. How dare the Ministry of Revenue withhold them?
Shen Wan felt strange, and then she heard Xie Jingyan say, "What did the Ministry of Revenue say?"
Chen Yu said, "The Ministry of Revenue said that all the Yan family's belongings in the Ministry of Revenue have been returned. As for the missing ones, some were only recorded in the book and never entered the Ministry of Revenue's warehouse. Some were entered into the Ministry of Revenue, but I don't know how they disappeared later..."
It is impossible for something that entered the Ministry of Revenue to disappear without the Ministry of Revenue knowing.
It's just that I don't dare to say where I'm going, so I'm just finding an excuse.
Chen Yu left after reporting. Xie Jingyan closed the doors and windows and turned around.
Shen Wan said, "There must be someone in the Duke Mao's Mansion."
Confiscation was a very lucrative job, and it was Duke Mao who confiscated the Yan Mansion that year.
Xie Jingyan said, "No matter who took it, I will make him spit it out."
It’s getting late today, so he won’t go into the palace and will go tomorrow.
Xie Jingyan thought so, but after a while, Dong'er came in and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Xiao Xizi is here, saying that Eunuch Yuan wants to see you urgently."
What urgent matter could Eunuch Yuan need to seek him out for?
Xie Jingyan got up and went out.
Xiao Xizi was guarding outside the door. When she saw Xie Jingyan coming out, she quickly came up to him and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor wants to dig an ice cellar in Hanyuan Palace. Eunuch Yuan said that he couldn't persuade the emperor, so he asked you to go to the palace to persuade the emperor..."
