Chapter 503: Chapter 264 Leaving_2

When Qian Manxia heard that her father-in-law was actually the chief guard of the Prince Ning Mansion, holding the forth-ranked official position, and that her husband was also a seventh-ranked guard, and that her mother-in-law was alive and living in the Capital City, she realized that she would live in Capital City in the future. She was truly both shocked and apprehensive, realizing that her husband was different from the man she had known before, and her own future was uncertain...

"Xia N’ang, don’t worry," Wan Dazhong said as he hugged her, "No matter what my status is, my love for you and the children will not change. The old lady is also kind-hearted, so there’s no need to fear. Besides, my cousin will soon come back to bring your parents-in-law to the Capital City. Perhaps, my cousin and I will come back together to pick everyone up..."

They discussed that after their departure, Qian Manxia would temporarily move to Guiyuan. This would set their minds at ease, and she could also help comfort and take care of the saddened Qian Sangui’s couple and Cheng Yue.

Tonight there was no moon, only a few stars scattered in the night sky, sparse and solitary. Zhu Sujin and Qian Yixiu sat in the corridor next to Lianxiang Water Pavilion, looking at the blurry lotus leaves on West Lake and a few buds just emerging from the water.

He held her hand, sitting like that for more than an hour. Mostly silent, they occasionally exchanged a few disjointed words.

"Sister, after I leave, you must take my place to honor our mother, father, grandma, and great-grandma."

"Hmm."

"When I’m not at home, you must be more careful and try not to go out unnecessarily. Girls as beautiful as you might attract the wrong kind of attention from bad boys."

"Alright."

"No matter how others may see it, in my heart, the Qian family will always be my home."

"I feel the same way. No matter how your status changes in the future, you will always be a good brother to me, Ming Wa, and Jingjing."

Zhu Sujin seemed both pleased and somewhat displeased by her words. Why he felt somewhat displeased, he couldn’t figure out at the moment, or perhaps he didn’t have the time to think about it.

After a brief silence, he spoke again, "Once I reach the Capital City, I will quickly look for Father — that is, our Father Jiang — so he can come back soon to bring you over. Once you’re in the Capital City, we’ll be able to see each other again." Only at this topic did Zhu Sujin’s face show a trace of a smile.

According to Qian Yixiu’s own wishes, she didn’t want to go to the Capital City at all. Through her years of effort, she had made Guiyuan and Moonlit Lotus Pond look so wonderful, like an imaginary land of joy and plenty. She was reluctant to live confined within a mansion and certainly disliked engaging in the nonsensical power struggles within.

But now it seemed that moving to the Capital City was inevitable. She thought to herself that even if she moved there, she would try to find a way to buy a larger estate to build her own holiday villa. She would also aim to expand the business scope of Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop, and perhaps open an even larger company...

"Sister, are you not listening to me?" Zhu Sujin’s voice came by her ear; he seemed hurt again and pinched her hand a little harder.

Qian Yixiu quickly responded, "I’m listening. I also want to get to the Capital City soon so that we can meet more often. But I’m a bit reluctant to leave Guiyuan, it’s so beautiful here."

"Oh, that’s true, I’m also reluctant to leave this place."

...

Today, without the moon, it was hard to tell the time. It was not until Qian Xiaolei came to inform Qian Yeejin, "Young master, Mr. Yu asked you to rest early, as you need to rise early tomorrow," did things proceed.

Zhu Sujin nodded, leading Qian Yixiu back to Wangjiang Building. Before parting, he reiterated, "Sister, remember that we will always be family."

Qian Yixiu smiled and nodded, saying, "Brother, you’ve always been our family."

The following day at Si Hour, Zhu Sujin left the Qian family, accompanied by Wan Erniu father and son, and Mr. Yu. Before leaving, he visited Cheng Yue and Old Woman Qian in both Wangjiang Building and the main courtyard guest room, and kowtowed three times to them as they still slumbered.

The Qian family could only bid farewell to Zhu Sujin at the front courtyard. Before stepping out of the courtyard gate, he first picked up Ming Wa and Jingjing, kissing their little faces. He also insisted on kowtowing three times to Qian Sangui and Lady Wu’s couple, and bowing deeply to Qian Manxia, crying, "Father, grandma, aunt, the kindness you’ve shown in raising Jinwa, I will forever remember in my heart."

Qian Sangui, Lady Wu, and Qian Manxia were already crying so hard they couldn’t utter a single word. Their crying prompted Ming Wa, Jingjing, and Fangfang to start bawling as well. Suddenly, the courtyard was filled with sobs.

Qian Yixiu was also crying hard but managed to speak through her tears, "I wish for brother to have smooth sailing and safely reach the Capital City."

After the retinue of over a hundred departed, protecting Zhu Sujin, the plain in front of Guiyuan returned to silence. Suddenly drained of strength, Qian Sangui collapsed.
