This time, neither the Hua Clan's Hua Yu Su nor the Imperial Concubine had any intention of staying in the Hua Clan. Although they looked like they had only travelled from the capital to the Blue Wind City, the problem was that they did not travel in a straight line. Furthermore, they had spent a lot of time buying and selling goods.
"Aren't there too many of them?" Hua Yu Su could not help but smile bitterly. This time, they were a bit too late, so it was really troublesome to bring so many things. However, judging from their appearance, the two elders seemed to be saying that if they didn't have too little time, they wouldn't have brought so many things.
"Alright, let them leave. Just hand the items over to the escort company and send them to the capital." Right now, they were really in a hurry. From the looks of things, if the two of them were to continue fighting, they would be able to catch up to them.
Because of the imperial concubine's reminder, father Hua said that he would handle this matter and let them choose to hurry back. Of course, it was not because this would make things more convenient for them, but mainly because this way they could add a few more things into the mix.
The journey back to the capital was smooth, but when they returned to the capital, the three weren't that happy. Before they returned, they found out that Long Tianhao and the previous empress dowager had escaped, and that they hadn't brought their child with them.
"You really treat yourself as a dish." At first, the Imperial Concubine felt angry and stifled. But after a while, she realized that they hadn't left yet. With Long Tianhao's abilities, it would be strange if he could feed the two of them.
"They still have something valuable on them." Although there weren't many of them, and if they didn't spend lavishly and live a normal life, there was no problem. However, it was very obvious that the two of them weren't that kind of people, so it was hard to say what would happen in the future.
"Hmph, I'll be back in half a year." The Imperial Concubine didn't know that her son had specifically asked them to go out and play, or else he would be dishonest. Looking at them was a very annoying thing, and adding to that the good things they had to do from time to time, they really thought she was the emperor's empress dowager.
"I think I'll be back in a few days." Hua Yu Su couldn't believe it. The two of them had probably used up all their belongings. Moreover, she didn't believe that the Emperor would let them out of his sight, so she had probably been following them all this time.
"Hmph." Imperial Concubine turned around. She still had some understanding of that woman. If she wasn't completely sure, how could she have run away? It was likely that she had a lot of capital. It was because of this that she didn't believe that both of them only had that little thing on them. Perhaps there was a large amount of silver in that piece of jewelry, or maybe there was a huge amount of silver in it.
Hua Yu Su felt a little awkward. The Imperial Concubine would occasionally be so proud of herself. If she hadn't known him for so long, she wouldn't have gotten used to it. But now, the wives of the ministers were waiting outside the palace.
"Alright, let them in." Even though the imperial concubine didn't want to see these filthy people, she had no choice but to do such a thing before her son married his first wife, so she felt that it would be a bit of a loss if she gave him Huanyu Su to her nephew. If he became the empress, then she would have nothing to do with the affairs of the empress dowager.
The new year was quite good, and after returning home, Prince Yu's consort had to leave many relatives, Hua Yu Su started to take care of her family matters, and by the time everything was settled, the year of marriage had already ended, and Long Tianhao and the empress dowager had received news that the two of them had returned to their original places. Moreover, they were no longer living together, and no one knew what had happened between them that caused the two of them to become like this.
Of course, the emperor still knew, but he didn't say it out loud. Even the imperial concubine didn't know about it.
"You want to go see him?" Although Long Xian didn't know why his wife was so interested in torturing those two, he felt that he would always support whatever his wife wanted to do. Even though he was still a bit jealous of her for doing it.
"Well, I haven't seen them in pain." The original owner died too miserably in the end, not even having heard the most basic of noble words anymore. Although she said that she had not gone through those, she still felt especially scared, and the current her understood one thing, and that was to pay the price for doing something wrong instead of living a normal life there. She did not feel that it was special just because of the other party's different identity.
"Alright." He had to fulfill his wife's wish. Even if she was willing to, it would be a bit unreasonable. In fact, due to jealousy, he also wanted to see the other party's misfortune. In his opinion, scum like them should be abused a thousand times over.
Seeing Long Tianhao's appearance once again, it was true that even Hua Yu Su almost couldn't recognize him. Even when the original owner last saw him, he was already in his twenties, and he hadn't seen him this old. But this seventeen year old youth looked even older than a twenty-something year old man.
"I never expected to see you like this the next time I see you." Without that halo of light emitting from his identity, he and his lover, his mother, were nothing. No matter how much love they had for each other, in the end, they still had to face the most realistic problem, not just from the outside world, but also because the two of them were not people who could not take care of others and could not earn money. In the most realistic problems, the two of them could not continue to live.
"It's really just as you said. No matter how beautiful a love is, in the face of reality, it would all turn into dust." Long Tianhao looked at Hua Yu Su. In the past, he didn't really like this woman, but sometimes he thought that if he had taken her seriously when he had first married her, and no longer had feelings for her more than mother and son, wouldn't his life have been the same?
But this was an unsolvable answer, because he knew better than anyone that Long Tian wouldn't really give up the throne. If he was given a chance, Long Tian wouldn't let him sit on it, so he had been cautious all his life. He didn't know which one Long Tian would choose.
Even though the current him was already somewhat disappointed in love, he still made a lot of choices.
"Hur hur." Hua-Yu Su wanted to say, "This has nothing to do with reality, okay? It's obviously because of your problems, and that's called love?" Alright, even if it is love, a love that doesn't receive the blessings of the majority, there aren't many people who can truly walk towards happiness, so this isn't a real problem. However, she knows that even if she did say it, it wouldn't be of any use.
"Idiot." Because there was no longer a need to continue the conversation, Mandarin Su Lian went to see the empress dowager and left directly because she was very clear in her heart that the two of them had gone mad. Although they still looked very normal at the moment, when faced with things that she believed to be true, they were rejected by others.
"Love can be happy." As he sat on the carriage, he saw that Hua Yu Su was very quiet, and he couldn't help but start to worry. He felt that this person really didn't know how to talk about life, it was clearly their own problem, but it had to be said right. Everyone was like them, looking down on those two in their hearts, but now was not the time to make a fuss about it.
"I know." Before she had entered this world, she didn't believe in love anymore, but she felt that if she still didn't believe in love, it would be too excessive for her. Furthermore, the relationship between them had already made her happy, so believing in love, this matter was really very easy.
The two of them couldn't help but look at each other and smile. They didn't speak a word. A pair for life, they had done very well and had always been very happy.
It was just that with the question of having children, they were still born a little too often, and because of their Discipline, they were still on the road when they were pregnant with their children, so they didn't have much to do. In the end, they had five sons and one daughter, but she didn't know why, but she had only one daughter.
The merchant caravan formed by the three of them would leave every year. The profits would be distributed once a year, saving up more and more of their capital.
In the end, when the younger sister of the Hua family got married, she had married over 200,000 silver taels, including her own 100,000 silver taels, as well as 20,000 silver taels from the imperial concubine, 50,000 silver taels from Hua Yu Su, and 30,000 silver taels from her father, Hua Niang. Such a huge dowry really made one's eyes red with envy, but neither of them dared to make a move.
In addition to the dowry the empress dowager had given them, everyone knew what was going on. Who would dare to make a move against them?
When he left again, Long Qian held onto Hua Yu Su's hand tightly and said in a serious tone that he liked her and didn't care about her past.
Hua Yu Su couldn't help but stare with wide eyes. She didn't know what to say. She hadn't said anything, so how did Long Yi know? Or had he already investigated her?
