Chapter 278: Yingchun Returning Home [(1)]

Time, luck, and destiny.

On the way home, Sun Shaozong remembered Zhao Wutong's experience and still couldnt help feeling a little sorry.

Was it wrong to risk exposing his boss' corruption?

Of course it was right, it was even a great achievement!

But the tragedy was that Zhao Wutong put this matter before the foreign envoys, which made the Court lose face greatly!

Although this might not be Zhao Wutong's original intention, what the Court cared about was the result. So it was reasonable to secretly send people to investigate and accuse him of a crime.

However, Zhao Wutong has made great contributions to exposing the corruption case in Zhili. It should be no problem to save his life. As for whether he could keep his official position, it depended on how they determined the nature of the matter.

It could only be said that this guy's luck could have been better!

Feeling deeply during his journey, he saw a carriage parked outside the Sun Mansion, which seemed familiar to him, but it was not a property of the Sun family.

Sun Shaozong called for the gatekeeper, Liu Quan, and pointed to the carriage, asking, "Whose carriage is this?

Report to the Second Master.

Liu Quan hurriedly said, "The servant girl next to the Eldest Madam of Rongguo Mansion suddenly arrived in a carriage and was chatting with our Eldest Madam in the backyard.

Madam Xing sent someone to find Jia Yingchun?

He didnt know what to say

Sun Shaozong originally planned to wait until the next afternoon, when his Big Brother returned from his shift outside the city, to know what the Xing family had sent the maid for. Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

Unexpectedly, not long after returning to the backyard, Jia Yingchun sent a nanny to deliver a message, asking Sun Shaozong to decide on behalf of his Big Brother, allowing her to return home early tomorrow morning.

This returning home referred to the fact that after the bride has married into another family, she must return to her parent's home to visit them on a certain date. Firstly, to express her gratitude for not forgetting her upbringing, and secondly, to narrate her situation at her husband's house.

According to the rules, the groom also needed to accompany the bride, but the main purpose was not to accompany the bride but to bring all the gifts and rewards to the matchmaker at the luncheon on the day of returning home.

The popular date for returning home at present was mostly chosen on the third, fifth, or seventh day. However, this was usually the case for families who were not very particular, and those with some status were accustomed to returning home after a month.

The Sun family and Rongguo Mansion, in any case, both belong to some status, so the date of their return home was also set for the month. How could this suddenly be brought forward?

Especially during this time when his Big Brother was on duty outside the city.

After careful questioning of the nanny, Sun Shaozong realized that it was not Jia Yingchun who wanted to go ahead, but Jia She, who suddenly fell ill. He specifically asked Madam Xing to send a servant girl to send a message, saying that he wanted to see her daughter as soon as possible so as not to leave any regrets.

What could Jia Yingchun do if her father said so?

Therefore, they could only send someone to discuss the matter of an early return with Sun Shaozong.

It's not necessarily to sell it away.

If her temperament had been changed to that of a powerful hostess, she should have made a fuss by now. But Jia Yingchun just said softly, "We won't be able to use it for a while. Let's go to the pawnshop to pawn it first. When we have more money, it won't be too late to redeem it again.

When we have more money?

Siqi angrily said, "We don't have any gold or silver items in our dowry. Just this piece of jewelry is worth some silver, so how can we have more money after pawning it?

Moreover, if this matter spreads, what should we do?

Would the Elder Master be willing to carry on the reputation of forcing the bride to sell headgear just after getting married?

Jia Yingchun could only think of this solution. After hearing a series of questions about this matter, her heart was in a state of anxiety, like a bitter yellow lotus.

Others' parents were always putting gold on their daughters, leaning toward themselves.

But Jia Yingchun felt helpless and couldn't help but be teary-eyed. Suddenly, she heard a woman outside exclaiming joyfully, "Lady Siqi and Lady Xiuju, come out quickly to pick up something.

The three people in the room were stunned at the words.

Immediately, Siqi hurriedly led Xiuju to the main entrance. They saw the nanny who was sent to inform Sun Shaozong. She was waiting outside the door with two male servants, and all three of them were holding a stack of gift boxes in their hands.

Siqi was surprised and said, "What are these?

The nanny said happily, "They were all sent by the Second Master. You two should hurry up and pick them up.

Siqi and Xiuju just picked up the heavy gift box in their hands and delivered it together with the woman.

When Jia Yingchun saw these many gift boxes, he was also somewhat puzzled and quickly asked, "These things

The woman hurriedly said, "The Second Master said to let you take a look first. If there is anything else that needs to be prepared, let me go over to him and convey again.

Ah!

At this moment, Siqi curiously opened one of the boxes but couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. It turned out that there were ten golden ingots engraved with blessings, rewards, and longevity inside!

Xiuju saw it and quickly opened the other boxes, only to find that they were all filled with high-quality medicinal herbs. The boxes could be worth five to six hundred taels of silver.

These... These

Jia Yingchun became even more at a loss. Although she held the position of a wealthy and noble woman, she had never used even a small amount of silver on this box in her lifetime!

Siqi was the first to regain her composure and quickly asked the woman, "What did you say to the Second Master? Why did he prepare so many things?

The woman stared straight at the ingot and swallowed her saliva, saying, "What else can I say? I just follow what you asked me to deliver. By the way, the Second Master asked what Madam's expression looked like, is there something wrong?

I said that I didn't manage to see Madam, but Lady Siqi seems a bit annoyed and I don't know who she was annoyed with.

The Second Master listened and seemed to understand something. He turned around and asked someone to bring these things over.
