Chapter 39
As expected by Yuan Miaoyi, the next day Mrs. Tai said she was going back to Shengjing.

They have lived here for a little over half a month, and they have a lot of things.

Fortunately, Aunt Cui had already packed everything, so there was no rush at this time.

Aunt Cui walked in and out, instructing other people in the room to put the salutes in the car properly. When she turned around, she saw Yuan Miaoyi sitting in the courtyard again in a daze.

Aunt Cui always felt that after she came back from Jiyun Temple that night, she would always stare at a place silently, secretly lost in thought. She thought she was thinking about Liu Shutang, so she walked over quietly. Call her: "Girl?"

Yuan Miaoyi came to her senses only after being called by Nanny Cui: "What's wrong?"

Aunt Cui looked at her with some worry: "Girl, you are always a little distracted these days, but do you have something on your mind?"

Yuan Miaoyi thought that after a few days, her mood would slowly calm down.But she didn't expect that as soon as she got quiet, she would always think of Xiao Yunyue.

She couldn't say this to Aunt Cui, so Yuan Miaoyi could only shake her head and made an excuse casually: "No, maybe she didn't have a good rest, so she felt a little restless."

Yuan Miaoyi is a serious person, but she is also a person whose heart is difficult to see beyond the surface.Usually, even if she really had something on her mind, she would digest it silently in her heart. It was rare to see her like this.

So Grandma Cui really believed it, and secretly thought to herself that when she returned to the house, she would make some soup to replenish Yuan Miaoyi.

Taibai Mountain is not too far from Shengjing, but by the time the carriage swayed back to Rongan Houfu, it was already getting late.

After a bumpy journey, the wife was also a little tired, so she told the east and west courtyards that they did not need to go there to meet each other, and that they could have dinner in their own courtyards.

This move was in line with Grandma Cui's wishes. She asked someone to open the warehouse and bring out a white ginseng.

Grandma Cui is good at preparing soups and soups. For dinner, she used white ginseng chicken soup that had been slowly simmered over charcoal fire for more than two hours.

The chicken has been stewed until the skin is crispy and the meat is rotten. There is only a slight bitterness and sweetness from the ginseng in the soup, but there is no trace of medicinal taste.

Yuan Miaoyi was also very hungry today. It was rare that she drank two bowls of soup before having her things removed.

Seeing that she was always a little depressed, Aunt Cui walked around the yard with her for a few times and urged her to rest early.

Yuan Miaoyi was indeed a little tired. She spent most of the day on the carriage. A large section of the way down Taibai Mountain was filled with bumpy mountain roads, which were so bumpy that her bones were about to fall apart.

After returning to the Hou Mansion, there were suddenly more things to face, and Yuan Miaoyi temporarily put Xiao Yunyue's affairs into other corners of her heart.

Seeing that she had returned to her usual self, Grandma Cui became more convinced that she had not rested well in the past few days and was a little distracted.

Because Yuan Miaoyi suffered a serious illness, there were a lot of good medicinal materials in the warehouse of the east courtyard, all of which were found by the Pei family and Yuan Lingheng over the years to nourish her body.

However, as she grew older and her body gradually recovered, she rarely took these tonics.Unexpectedly, after returning this time, Grandma Cui would often open the warehouse to cook some medicinal meals for her.

At this time, spring is getting stronger, there is no chill in the wind, and some thin cloaks can be packed away and replaced with thinner spring clothes.

Yuan Miaoyi held a cup of Fu tea in her hand and watched with a smile as Bai Zhi and Dong Xia were busy taking care of her big camphor wood box in the courtyard, while Aunt Cui was ironing the new ones for her in the house. Made of shirts and skirts.

Grandma Cui said that tea is cold in nature, so Yuan Miaoyi drank a different tonic soup every day during these days, so she drank less tea.The wedding ceremony of Song Fang's family was about to take place, and there was no unmarried woman in Dayan who could not attend the wedding banquet. Mrs. Yi Tai had said a few days ago that Yuan Miaoyi would go with her to this wedding banquet.

She had faithfully observed her mourning at home for three years. Counting this wedding ceremony at the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, it was the first time in these years that she had participated in a banquet between these nobles.

Aunt Cui was very concerned about this matter. She spent a long time choosing among the newly made shirts and dresses before choosing the clothes she would wear that day. She also considered the matching jewelry repeatedly.

In a few days, it was the official wedding day for the Song and Fang families. When the sky was dim, Aunt Cui called Yuan Miaoyi up to dress up.

Although she is not the protagonist today, it would be a bit disrespectful to attend such an occasion and remain naked as if she were at home.

When she sat in front of the dressing mirror, Yuan Miaoyi was still a little awake. She closed her eyes and let Aunt Cui apply ointment on her face, while Bai Zhi tied her hair into a bun behind her.

Aunt Cui looked at her confused look and was a little amused: "Girl, you don't have to get up early today. When you wait for your wedding ceremony, you will have to get up before dawn."

"Let's talk about it then. When is it now?" Yuan Miaoyi's voice was still full of tiredness.

Bai Zhi glanced at the chiming bell beside her and said, "Girl, it's almost time."

Dong Xia was setting breakfast outside, and Ji Lan was going in and out to help her organize the things she would bring with her for today's trip.

When the sky turned white and the room gradually became brighter, Yuan Miaoyi had already dressed up, and she finally woke up slightly.

Just after breakfast, Mrs. Tai came to call her.Today Yuan Fuwei wanted to go with them, so the Hou Mansion brought two carts out, and Yuan Miaoyi and his wife came together.

Before going out, Aunt Cui took advantage of Yuan Miaoyi's time to take care of her husband and said softly next to her: "I heard a few days ago that the Marquis was making a fuss about taking Aunt Liu with him today, and the wife gave her a good meal. I scolded him back."

Yuan Miaoyi curled her lips. Yuan Fuwei and Mrs. Yuan Tai were still mother and son. He still hadn't understood that Mrs. Tai's most important thing was her face and reputation.

If you take your concubine to attend a wedding banquet between nobles, not to mention that the wife's face will be completely humiliated, the master's family will also think that you are deliberately here to mess with his family's face. It's strange that the wife would agree.

In the end, after Liu Shutang heard the news, he cried and begged Yuan Fuwei, begging him not to argue with the Taifu again, and Yuan Fuwei gave up.

But when Liu Shutang went to pay his respects to Mrs. Tai yesterday, Mrs. Tai said that she was not sick and forced Liu Shutang to stand in the hospital for almost an hour.

Mrs. Tai didn't like Liu Shutang before, but she had never tried to tease her in this way. She probably thought that Liu Shutang was instigating this matter behind her back.

However, Yuan Miaoyi only said quietly: "When word comes out in a few days that she is pregnant, Mrs. Tai will forget about today's mood."

Speaking of this matter, there was a hint of worry in Nanny Cui's eyes: "If she gets pregnant, I'm afraid the Marquis will bring up the matter of straightening her again, so the girl needs to make plans early."

Yuan Miaoyi stroked the tassel on her temples and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I know this well."

She was just pregnant and didn't know whether she was a boy or a girl, so the lady would not agree to help Liu Shutang upright.Unless she adds another male to the Yuan family, it might be possible.

However, from the beginning, Yuan Miaoyi had no intention of letting her give birth to the child.
