Chapter 614: Chapter 560, Sorrows of Departure_2

Xiao Yeyang fell silent for a moment, “There shouldn’t be any issues for now. When we took over Sishan Village, it was close to the end of the year. We had many things to deal with and might have missed something. However… after we deliver the weapons to the Northern Frontier, I’m afraid we won’t be able to keep it a secret anymore. There are people from Prince Eight in the military camps there.”

Daohua showed her concern, “Then what should we do? Will Prince Eight make a move against you?”

Xiao Yeyang: “…It is an unavoidable matter.”

Daohua’s heart tightened. She wasn’t too worried about the Tartars out in the open but feared those ‘own people’ lurking in the shadows.

Seeing Daohua’s worry, Xiao Yeyang took her hand and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, we are delivering the weapons in secret. If Uncle Prince Eight really wants to cause trouble, he will go to Governor Wu.”

When the imperial uncle handed over Sishan Village to Governor Wu to manage, he also took this into consideration; no merit is ever granted for free.

Daohua was still a little uneasy, “Really? I always feel that those Hidden Guards, assassins, and the like are omnipresent, like they can’t be fooled by anything.”

Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help but laugh, “They’re not that capable, they’re not immortals.” After saying this, he patted her hand, “Don’t worry unnecessarily, if I can’t even handle this little thing, how can I make something of myself in the future?”

Daohua tilted her head to look at him and said nothing.

Although Xiao Yeyang hadn’t mentioned anything about the elevation of the side consort to the main consort recently, she could sense that he was holding back a breath of frustration.

It was a frustration that had probably been building since he was a child.

“You must be careful yourself, don’t be too rash.”

Xiao Yeyang nodded, “When you go to Taohua Village to see Grandma and Master Gu, make sure to bring more maids and servants.” After a moment of silence, he added, “And you must wear your veil properly.”

Daohua murmured an agreement.

Xiao Yeyang looked at the skies, “Let’s go, I’ll take you back.”

The carriage was already prepared by De Fu, and Wang Manman had packed up Daohua’s belongings.

After disembarking the ship, Xiao Yeyang helped Daohua onto the carriage and then climbed in himself.

Daohua glanced at him but said nothing.

The carriage started slowly. Inside, Daohua leaned on a small table, supporting her cheek with her elbow as she watched the scenery outside. Xiao Yeyang was silently watching her, and neither spoke.

As they neared the city gate, Daohua started to feel a bit restless. She let the curtain fall and stopped looking outside, instead playing with a ribbon in the carriage.

Xiao Yeyang was also feeling a bit suffocated and choked up inside. He took Daohua’s hand and forced a smile, “I will try to hurry back to spend Duanwu Festival with you.”

Daohua nodded her head.

Hearing the noise of people outside, Xiao Yeyang knew they were approaching the city gate. He gave Daohua one last reluctant look, “Once we enter the city, you go back to Yan Residence on your own. I won’t come with you.”

Daohua: “…Alright.”

As they approached the city gate, the carriage stopped.

Xiao Yeyang gave Daohua one last look, opened the door, and hopped down from the carriage.

Daohua sat still inside, but once the carriage started moving again, she couldn’t help but lift the curtain to look back.

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang quickly walked up, “What’s the matter?”

Daohua wanted to say something, but didn’t know how to start, so she just gazed at Xiao Yeyang following the carriage for a while, “Return early.”

Xiao Yeyang had a lot to say as well, but at this moment he found himself unable to utter a word. In the end, he only managed to say with a smile, “I’ll be back for us to drink the Peach Blossom Wine we brewed together.”

Having said that, he gradually stopped walking and watched the carriage disappear into the distance.

Without looking any further, Daohua quickly dropped the curtain, leaned against the side of the carriage, and took several deep breaths before she felt a bit more at ease.

…

Yan Residence.

Upon her return, Daohua first went to see Old Madam Yan and Madam Li, and then she headed to the courtyards of Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai.

“Big sister!”

Both of them were very happy to see Daohua.

Daohua looked at them and after a moment of silence said, “Be careful when you’re away from home.”

Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao both nodded, “Don’t worry, we’re all grown up. We can take care of ourselves.”

Daohua took the bundle from Wang Manman’s hands and passed the Ginseng Fortifying Pills and a few silver notes to them.

Seeing the silver notes, Yan Wentao immediately shook his head in refusal, “Daohua, our uncle and aunt have given us silver, quickly keep the silver notes. We don’t need them.”

Daohua disagreed, “What they gave is theirs, what I give is mine, and the two should not be confused. As the old saying goes, ‘A poor family is a rich road’. It’s better to have more silver on hand just in case.”

Yan Wenkai, on the other hand, didn’t stand on ceremony and curiously asked about the Ginseng Fortifying Pills, “Big sister, what is this?”

Daohua immediately explained the function of the Ginseng Fortifying Pills.

Upon hearing this, Yan Wenkai’s eyes lit up, “This is great stuff! When we are on duty outside, we often miss meal times and end up hungry and dizzy.”

Daohua replied, “You left in such a hurry this time; I didn’t have time to prepare more. We’ll wait for the next time, I’ll definitely make enough then.”

Yan Wenkai immediately nodded with a smiling face.

Yan Wentao, on the other hand, mentioned, “These pills mustn’t be cheap to make, right?”

Daohua assured with a smile, “Don’t worry, I used the medicinal herbs from my own estate.”

Yan Wenkai immediately exclaimed with admiration, “It’s great having a wealthy sister.”

Yan Wentao gave him a disapproving look. This guy had no qualms about using his sister’s things.

Yan Wenkai argued that there was nothing wrong with that, now that the sister was well-off and helping them out. In the future, when they came into good fortune, they could always repay her.

…

After dinner, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai quietly left. Daohua saw them off at the gate and watched as their figures vanished into the night.

On the way back to her courtyard, Daohua suddenly felt that the Yan Family’s back courtyard seemed much quieter. Her eldest brother had gone to the capital, and now her third and fourth brothers were also starting to work toward their own futures.

She and her brothers were all growing up. In the future, such partings would probably only become more frequent.
