393 Fief
After the three of them ate breakfast, Xin Xin rushed to the military camp. When she returned, she brought a group of people back.
When Ning Yue and Jiang Ying arrived, they did not bring any luggage because it was an emergency. They only had some personal belongings, so they did not have to pack anything when they left.
Xin Xin packed some border delicacies and specialties for Ning Yue.
“These things are for your family. They’re all specialties here. You might not even be able to buy them in Laifu Village.” After Xin Xin finished speaking, she pulled Ning Yue aside and whispered a few words.
“Yueyue, if Jiang Ying bullies you, you have to tell me. See if I don’t beat him to death,” Xin Xin said.
“No, Jiang Ying is a good person.” When Ning Yue said this, a gentle smile appeared on her face.
“Yueyue, before you get married, men will all pretend. After men get married, they have a different face,” Xin Xin said again.
Ning Yue looked at Xin Xin in amusement. Why did she feel that Xin Xin, her mother, was here to undermine her son?
“Alright, I won’t say anything else. In any case, remember that as women, we have to be independent. We can’t let those men look down on us.”
Xin Xin’s words made Ning Yue frown deeply. For some reason, she felt that Xin Xin was hiding something.
In order not to let her notice anything, she pulled her aside to say these words.
Ning Yue shook her head hard and thought to herself, No, I can’t let my imagination run wild. Xin Xin has always cared and loved me very much.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Xin Xin couldn’t help but ask when she saw Ning Yue’s strange expression.
“Nothing. I didn’t rest well last night,” Ning Yue said.
“Alright, I won’t say anything else. You still have to travel. Bring the food. Ning Yue, rest more in the carriage,” Xin Xin said.
“Thank you. If there’s a chance, you must visit us,” Ning Yue said.
“When we go back next time, it’ll be time for you to get married,” Xin Xin teased Ning Yue.
When Ning Yue heard this, her face suddenly turned very red, like a ripe apple.
Seeing Ning Yue blush, Xin Xin couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Leave quickly.”
After bidding farewell to Xin Xin, Jiang Ying and Ning Yue set off.
Just as she was about to get into the carriage, Ning Yue realized that Jiang Ying had actually prepared several carriages.
“Jiang Ying, why did you get so many carriages?” Ning Yue asked with a frown.
“The carriages at the back are all filled with spices. We’re going back as spice merchants. We have to put on a show, right?” Jiang Ying explained.
For some reason, Ning Yue kept feeling that he was trying to hide something.
“Alright, let’s get into the carriage first.” Jiang Ying helped Ning Yue into the carriage.
On the way back to Laifu Village, the two of them did not encounter any evil people.
When she returned home, Ning Yue saw the worried expressions of the entire family.
“Yueyue, what happened to you?”
“That’s right, Yueyue. Didn’t you return to Luzhou with your parents after visting your family? Why are your uncle and aunt here, but you’re nowhere to be seen?”
The Ning family surrounded Ning Yue and asked about the situation.
“Don’t worry, everyone. I’m fine. Didn’t I come back fine? I just went to the city guarded by Prince Jin’s army with Jiang Ying. Coincidentally, I also want to take this opportunity to discuss something with everyone. It’s about the fief given to me by the emperor and my uncle.”
“Originally, we wanted to move the ancestral grave over, but once the ancestral grave has been moved over, we should go over too. Otherwise, no one will take care of the ancestral grave over there. I’m bringing it up now to see what everyone thinks.”
Ning Yue changed the topic. If they continued to ask, she might let it slip. She didn’t want her family to worry about her.
When everyone heard Ning Yue’s topic, they all looked at Old Master Ning.
Old Master Ning thought for a moment and replied, “Yueyue, to be honest, I don’t want to move my old bones anymore, but you’re right. The ancestral grave has already been moved there. That place has our roots.”
“In our generation, we pay attention to returning to our roots. Of course, there’s no hurry to consider this matter. We can talk about it later.”
After Old Master Ning finished speaking, he glanced at everyone’s expressions. Some people wanted to go, but some did not.
