Chapter 685 Rtive Comes From Afar


    Maybe it was because it had been several days since they talkedst time, it took Yun Shang long to


    realize what Qian Shui was talking about. She was shocked and asked, "Are you sure?"


    "Absolutely sure. Her voice and figure are the same as that young woman, and her temperament


    cannot be imitated by others." Qian Shui replied with certainty.


    Yun Shang kept silent for a while and nodded, "Okay, I see."


    Then she put down the curtain. Qin Yi looked at Yun Shang and said to the coachman, "Start."


    Luo Qingyan was confused, "What did she say to you? You were in a good mood just now. Why did


    you frown suddenly? Does it have anything to do with the seventh princess?"


    Yun Shang sighed before turning to Luo Qingyan, "It''s still about the matter of Lady Xian. I thought the


    two blue gemstone hairpins she wore were bought by her family from Qianshui Pavilion and brought


    into the pce, but Qian Shui said nobody from the Wang''s mansion had brought them. The person


    who bought the hairpins that day was ady about seventeen or eighteen years old, but she didn''t see


    her appearance as thedy was wearing a veil. So I told Qian Shui to keep it in mind and report to me


    when she met her again. Just now Qian Shui told me that the youngdy who had bought the hairpins


    was Hua Yutong."


    "Hua Yutong?" Luo Qingyan frowned. "Why did she brought the hairpins for? And how could the


    hairpins appear on Lady Xian''s head? "


    Yun Shang shook her head. She was also full of doubts. After a long silence, she said: "I will send


    someone to find Hua Yutongter and ask her in person. Since Hua Yutong is from the Huas, it was


    impossible for her to hurt us."


    Luo Qingyan meditated for a moment, "She wouldn''t, but the seventh prince would."


    "Are you suspecting that it was the seventh prince who asked her to do this?" Yun Shang turned


    around and looked at Luo Qingyan with a frown. It''s possible that Hua Yutong was trapped by the


    seventh prince as she was innocent.


    Luo Qingyan thought for a while and said, "I see that you are close to the seventh princess. But no


    matter how much you like her, you can''t tell everything to her. Otherwise, you might hurt yourself and


    hurt her too.


    Yun Shang thought about it for a long time. Then she sighed and nodded.


    Before long, the carriage had gone out of the city. There was a slope outside the city, and a pavilion on


    the slope. Luo Qingyan took Yun Shang to the pavilion, waiting.


    It was cold and windy in thepavillion. Fortunately, Qin Yi had well prepared. She fetched two thick


    overcoat from the carriage and put them on for Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan.


    ording to the secretly guard, Xiao Yuanshan would arrive at the gate of the imperial city about an


    hourter. Yun Shang held the thermos in her arms and looked at the road.


    It was less than a year after she left the State of Ning, but she had gone through a lot in the State of


    Xia this year, and she had been plotted by a lot of people. The more she recalled the State of Ning, the


    more she missed it. There were her families there, whom she had decided to protect. But it would be


    impossible for her to go back to the State of Ning. She would rarely seen her families for the rest of her


    life, so she was very happy to hear that her grandfather woulde.


    In less than an hour, Yun Shang saw several carriagesing slowly along the road. The first carriage


    had amp hanging outside with the word "Ning" on it, and thenterns with the word "Xiao" were


    hanging on the other carriages. Yun Shang immediately straightened her body, turned around and said


    to Luo Qingyan, "There he is."


    Luo Qingyan nodded and went down the slope with Yun Shang, waiting beside the road.


    The carriage came closer. Luo Qingyan asked his servants to stop the carriages. Although the


    coachman saw that Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan looked like noble masters, he couldn''t recognize


    them. He was confused and scratched his head, "What can I do for you?"


    The curtain of the carriage was raised and a head stretched out from the window. This man looked


    familiar to Yun Shang. He was the butler of the grandfather''s mansion.


    Yun Shang looked at him with a smile and eximed, "Uncle."


    The butler was stunned and then said happily, "Your lordship, it''s the little princess. The little princess


    and her prince."


    Yun Shang couldn''t helpughing. It seemed that she hadn''t been called little princess for a long time.


    Hearing this, the coachman looked at Yun Shang with surprise. He hurriedly jumped off the carriage,


    stood by the side, and opened the door of the carriage. Xiao Yuanshan''s gentle face was revealed.


    Yun Shang walked to the carriage with a smile, "Grandfather."

    Xiao Yuanshan looked at Yun Shang for a long time before he smiled. "You look pretty good. You have


    gained some weight."


    Then he got off the carriage with the help of his butler. He frowned at Yun Shang, "It''s so cold today


    and you are pregnant. What are you doing here? Nonsense!"


    Yun Shang couldn''t help butugh. She looked at Xiao Yuanshan and said, "Grandpa ising. Of


    course I''ll pick you up myself. Besides, it''s not far and I came here by carriage." Leaving no chance for


    Xiao Yuanshan to reprimand her, Yun Shang added, "Grandfather, just go to our mansion and you don''t


    need to live at the post house."


    Luo Qingyan seized the chance to greet Xiao Yuanshan and said, "Since Shang''er knew that the you


    woulde, she has asked people to clean the yard and prepare everything ording to your habits.


    Grand tutor,e with us."


    Xiao Yuanshan smiled. "It''s good to live with you, but I have to go to the imperial pce first to meet


    the emperor of the State of Xia, or I''ll be too impolite."


    Luo Qingyan thought for a while, "In that case, I''ll go to the imperial pce with you. These other


    carriages could carry luggage to our mansion with Yun Shang."


    Yun Shang agreed with a nod. She looked at Xiao Yuanshan with expectation.


    Xiao Yuanshanughed and nodded. "Why wasn''t shang''er so clingy when you were in the State of


    Ning? Well, I''ll live in your mansion. But Shang''er is pregnant now. It''s better for her to stay away from


    the wind. I will go to your mansion after a while. I can''t run away. Shang''er, you just go back first." Then


    he turned to the butler and said, "Go with Yun Shang and Qingyan will go to the imperial pce with


    me.


    Yun Shang said goodbye to Xiao Yuanshan and got on the carriage. She stretched her body from the


    carriage window and saw that the butler had also gotten on the carriage. Then she asked the


    coachman to set off.


    Upon returning to the mansion, the butler asked the servants to get the luggage out of the carriages


    and move them into the mansion. Yun Shang ordered her butler to open the storehouse for the


    luggage. Her grandpa''s butler, on the other hand, carried the things ording to the list, ordered,


    "Move these into the storehouse and move those into the little princess''s yard."


    Yun Shang was curious and asked, "What are these?"


    The butler said with a smile, "These are all prepared for you by his majesty and Lady Jin. There are


    snacks you like and some little clothes and little shoes Lady Jin made for the baby in your belly, as well


    as some old clothes of Prince Chenxi. Lady Jin said that babies would be obedient and easy to grow up


    after they wear the clothes other kids has worn."


    Yun Shang heard him and felt a lump in her throat. She lowered her head and said gently, "I''m really


    grateful for mother''s concern."


    The butler smiled and said, "You don''t know how happy Lady Jin was when she got the news that you


    were pregnant. She has been happily prepared everything for the baby every day.Unknown of the


    baby''s gender, she has prepared some suitable for a girl and some for a boy. Lady JIn intended to


    order someone to send these to you. It happened that his majesty sent his lordship to the the State of


    Xia for the Wanshou Festival. So she asked his lordship to bring them to you.


    Yun Shang looked at the boxes with a warm smile on her face and nodded. "Okay. Uncle, bring all the


    things in the mansion. I''ll ask someone to prepare some dishes grandfather likes." Then she seemed to


    remember something and added, "Oh right, I have to ask someone to buy some good wine in Long


    Feng Tower. His highness doesn''t like drinking, and we don''t have much in the mansion. It seems that I


    have to prepare some."


    Then she went back to the yard with Qin Yi, and told the servants to prepare the food, then she sent


    someone to buy some wine.


    When she was making the preparations, the butler reported, "Your highness, Lord Hua Guo and Lady


    Hua Guo are here."


    Yun Shang was surprised. Today was supposed to be a family reunion, but why do they suddenly


    Yun Shang rushed to the garden house. As soon as Lord Hua Guo saw her, he asked, "I heard Xiao


    Yuanshan hase? Where is he now? "


    Yun Shang replied momentarily, "Grandpa has gone to the imperial pce to greet his majesty. I''m


    afraid it will take a while."


    Lord Hua Guo frowned and seemed to be unhappy. "Oh."


    Lady Hua Guo smiled and said, "Ignore him. He admires Grand Tutor Xiao. To be honest, military


    officers are enemies to each other, but his lordship appreciated Grand Tutor Xiao so much. That''s why


    he couldn''t wait toe here when he heard hising. I told him Grand Tutor Xiao might have gone


    to the pce to see his majesty, but he didn''t believe it."


    Yun Shang understood why they came. She said with a smile, "A hero always cherishes other heroes.


    Grandfather is a civil official, but he knows well about military science and battle. If grandfather


    bes a military official, he could also do a good job."


    Lord Hua Guo snorted, "Xiao Yuanshan is a weak man. How could he be a military official. Even if


    he''s in the military, he''s just going to be a military adviser."


    Yun Shang and Lady Hua Guo exchanged nces and burst intoughter.


    Lord Hua Guo felt bored and frowned. "Xiao Yuanshan hasn''te back yet. Come and y chess


    with me."


    Yun Shang had to agree and ordered the maid to bring the chessboard and basket.


    Lady Hua Guo immediately asked servants to prepare braziers. It was cold in the garden house, and


    their hands and feet would get colder after sitting for long.


    Before they finished the third round, Luo Qingyan and Xiao Yuanshan came in together.


    Lord Hua Guo stopped ying chess. He stood up and said to Xiao Yuanshan, "Xiao,e here. Let''s


    kill."
