Chapter 112 Going to Suzhou
Chapter 112 Going to Suzhou
As soon as Liang Chengxuan arrived, Xu Ying started to act pitiful.
"I don't know what Hanyu suddenly did to make such a fuss and want to move these things out. Hanyu has her own storeroom in the mansion, and we have never touched these things. Hanyu's behavior is really heartbreaking."
After hearing this, Liang Chengxuan frowned. This mansion was never peaceful. It had only been a short while since things had calmed down, and now there was another incident of an unmarried woman moving her betrothal gifts out of the mansion.
If outsiders saw this, who knows what they would say about their manor.
"Hanyu, what are you doing?"
Liang Chengxuan directly questioned Shen Hanyu.
Shen Hanyu didn't take these innocuous words to heart. Even if Liang Chengxuan tried his best to stop her today, she was still going to move her things away.
Jin Chui cupped his hands in greeting: "These betrothal gifts and the gifts given by the Yu family all belong to Miss Shen. How to dispose of them is also up to Miss Shen. The young master said that if Miss Shen wants to move these things away, and if there is any obstruction, someone from the Yu family will come and explain to everyone."
The Yu family has even been dragged into this. Recalling Old Master Yu's attitude towards Shen Hanyu, Liang Chengxuan didn't know what to say.
If he lets Shen Hanyu leave with her things today, tomorrow Chang'an will be filled with rumors that he mistreated his niece.
My head hurts, it really hurts.
Liang Chengxuan looked at Xu Ying and told her to handle it herself.
Xu Ying's expression changed. How could the Xu family possibly compete with the Yu family? Shen Hanyu was now protected by the Yu family, so she couldn't be touched so easily.
She set her sights on Liang Fangrong.
“Good sister, you must have a good talk with Hanyu. What has she done to us? If people use this to make a big deal out of it, it will not be good for the Marquis and Yu’er’s career.”
Listening to Xu Ying's tearful account, Liang Fangrong felt that there was some truth to it.
"Han Yu..."
“Mother, you don’t need to persuade me.” Shen Hanyu interrupted her. “I don’t want to hear it either. Jin Chui, hurry up and move it. After you’re done, I’ll go over and check the items against the list.”
The men brought by Jin Chui acted even faster.
"Don't worry, young master Yu has already spoken to them. Just give them a call and they'll come to help you."
Shen Hanyu nodded; she knew this, which was why she dared to be so bold.
"You've really gotten quite capable."
Liang Chengxuan had a cold face. Now they've even learned to use the Yu family to intimidate them. What else won't they do in the future?
The betrothal gifts were all moved to Shen Hanyu's new home, and Xu Ying and the others could only watch helplessly.
The old lady got sick again from anger and is now bedridden, and no one knows what happened.
When Shen Hanyu arrived at her new home, she found that Jin Chui had indeed tidied it up quite well.
"I specifically asked Miao Cui what style the young lady likes, and this house has been furnished according to her preferred style. What do you think, young lady?"
Shen Hanyu looked around and found that it was indeed to her liking.
"good."
Miao Cui came over with a purse filled with silver. She handed it to Jin Chui, who accepted it with a smile.
"Miss, the boat tickets are bought."
Shen Hanyu took the boat ticket, and Jin Chui came over; she planned to bring Jin Chui with her this time.
I'll ask Wei Ming and Xu Zhun for a favor tomorrow, and then I can leave Chang'an the day after tomorrow.
She had already informed the girls' school, so Shen Hanyu wasn't worried about falling behind in her studies. She had already obtained the books and could study on the way. With her previous foundation, she wouldn't have any problems with the prefectural examination in two months.
"Golden Hammer, come with us again."
Jin Chui didn't disagree. Anyway, he had nothing to do in Chang'an. If it weren't for the circumstances, he would have liked to go to the border with Pei Du.
"Now all that's missing is a reason, and we also need to cover up our whereabouts."
Jin Chui's eyes lit up.
"Then we can definitely ask Young Master Xu for help with this matter. Young Master Xu may not be good at other things, but he has many connections. If he wants to leave Chang'an discreetly, that will be no problem at all."
Hearing Jin Chui's words, Shen Hanyu felt even more confident.
They went to see Xu Zhun and Wei Ming the next day. Ji Yuxiu hadn't finished court yet and hadn't returned all day, apparently because they were discussing something.
When Wei Ming heard that Shen Hanyu was going back to Suzhou, she wanted to go, but Shen Hanyu stopped her.
"You can't fall behind in your studies. Stay at the girls' school. The prefectural examination is in two months. You can't afford to be late."
The preliminary examinations were held a little later, in the following year. Only after passing all three major examinations and being on the list of successful candidates could one be considered to have passed the preliminary examinations.
There are still many major tests ahead, and it will take many years to resolve.
Wei Ming slumped listlessly onto the table.
"Alright, even if I wanted to go, my mother definitely wouldn't agree. But are you sure it'll be okay for you to be gone for so long? Be careful with the time, don't miss the exam."
Shen Hanyu promised she would never miss it.
She was just going to Suzhou to see what riddle Li Huaijiang had given her; it wouldn't take that long.
Xu Zhun handed over all the travel permits and other items to Shen Hanyu.
"Go ahead without worry. I guarantee that neither the Marquis's residence nor the other side will find out that you left Chang'an. It just so happens that you had a falling out with the Marquis's residence. I'll make things happen for you in Chang'an. Just go and come back quickly from the shadows."
Xu Zhun was still confident that he could keep it a secret.
Looking at the identity on it, Shen Hanyu nodded in satisfaction. She was only worried about the Crown Prince; everything else was fine.
"Thank you."
Xu Zhun waved his hand, "It's a small matter, nothing to mention."
With things going smoothly with Xu Zhun, Shen Hanyu can take a boat to Suzhou tomorrow without any worries.
The journey was long and would take a lot of time to travel back and forth, so Shen Hanyu didn't stay there for long.
After packing their luggage, Shen Hanyu led the group onto the ship.
A strange face flashed by behind the curtain, and Miao Cui and Jin Chui also disguised themselves.
Shen Hanyu glanced at it and said, "I wonder when it will arrive."
"Don't worry, young lady, it will be quick."
Jin Chui stood behind, smiling and saying that he had been there once before and had some experience.
Once inside the cabin, they booked separate rooms to avoid sharing with the other passengers.
Shen Hanyu sat down, and Miaocui made the bed behind her.
"The person introduced by this young master Xu is quite reliable; I couldn't tell at all that she was a girl."
Miao Cui looked at the face beside her and it took her quite a while to get used to it.
Shen Hanyu reached out and touched it: "When you're traveling, this is all you can do."
To be cautious, she even changed her walking style to something different from her usual one.
After leaving Chang'an, everything was peaceful. I hope nothing bad happens on the way.
"The bed is made."
Shen Hanyu was never used to traveling by boat, but traveling by water was safer.
"I'm going to rest for a while. You and Jin Chui stay outside and keep watch. If anything happens, let me know immediately."
Miao Cui nodded and went outside to stand guard.
Jin Chui held a plate of pastries in his arms and ate them bite by bite. He took a piece and handed it to Miao Cui.
"Please sit down. I've put down some cushions. I think your daughter isn't used to boat rides and might feel uncomfortable later. Let her rest a bit more."
Miao Cui accepted the pastries.
"Isn't this a pastry from a pastry shop in Chang'an?"
You can taste the flavor immediately.
Jin Chui nodded; he had bought the pastries before he left.
