"By the way, about the Hua Cha tea..."
"Stop talking," Ren Yingying said. "It's not that I don't want to help, but I can't force the Hua Cha, can I?"
Xue Lie was also leaving; he wanted to see Hua Cha.
However, the Hua Cha remained resolute and avoided meeting her.
Ren Yingying said: What can I do?
Tang Zhuyun was also helpless.
But having done all that needed to be done, the rest was up to Xue Lie.
I only wish that in the future he will be able to live up to the expectations of heaven and earth, his widowed mother, and those he loves.
Of course, the most important thing about coming to see Ren Yingying is still--
Begging for things!
"Give me as much of what I can use for the surgery as possible."
Ren Yingying: "Are you crazy! There's no sterile environment. Anyway, I haven't figured out how to bring you into my space yet. You're going to operate on someone? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Tang Zhuyun: "I performed major surgery on your brother-in-law..."
"That's pure luck, what can you expect when he's the male lead?"
Tang Zhuyun: "... Just give it to me."
"Make it clear first, who needs the surgery?"
"Just in case, given Xiyou's cerebrovascular issues."
"Xiyou? Isn't that my soulmate?"
Tang Zhuyun: "I don't know if he's your soulmate, but you might be his savior."
Ren Yingying: "..."
She found some things and gave them all to Tang Zhuyun.
"When you go back to Beijing in a few years, remember to bring back Xiyou. Maybe I'll be single by then," she reminded him worriedly.
Qu Nian: Why am I not deaf?
If it weren't for his overwhelming will to live, he would have wanted to bang his head against a wall right now.
Tang Zhuyun gave Ren Yingying many more instructions before reluctantly returning home.
Since she was leaving, Tang Zhuyun visited all the other families she had been on good terms with.
However, she did it very discreetly, even secretly.
After all that has happened, the Prince of Jin's Residence is still in the eye of the storm; they shouldn't cause trouble for others.
The gathering of the four wicked women she desired has not yet taken place, but one day she will return to the capital.
Saying goodbye to friends is not difficult; the hardest thing is saying goodbye to family.
Of all the family members, the one who has it the hardest is my elderly father.
Tang Zhuyun remembered that she was going to say a formal goodbye to Tang Mingfan, but before she even went, she had already cried at home.
She was willing to go all out for love and had no regrets; but looking at her aging father and thinking about the worries he had for her, she couldn't help but shed tears.
Prince of Jin and Tang Zhuyun took their family back for their last meal before leaving.
The atmosphere at the dinner was pleasant, with everyone tacitly hiding their sadness.
After the meal, Tang Mingfan invited Prince of Jin to speak privately in his study.
Watching his departing figure, Tang Zhuyun immediately covered her face.
She knew that her father was worried, which was why he wanted to instruct the Prince of Jin.
She was always self-righteous, believing that she was much better than her predecessor, at least in being a daughter.
But now that she thinks about it, she just wants to slap herself twice.
She's a good bastard!
At most, his predecessor was just someone whose behavior was absurd and made his family feel ashamed.
But what about myself?
He had dragged his family onto the Prince of Prince of Jin's ship, to rise and fall together with him.
That was risking one's life.
Her father could have been a loyal minister who only served the emperor, and no matter who became emperor, he could have been a highly valued minister.
But now...
Tang Mingfan has finally chosen sides.
Who can't see it? Who's a fool?
She is the one who caused this situation.
Meng Yulan gently patted her back and said, "A-Yun, once a move is made, there's no going back."
Having grown up in the Duke Meng's Residence, she was actually quite emotional about choosing sides.
Fortune favors the bold. If you don't do it now, your descendants will eventually have to take this path if they want to avoid mediocrity.
"Do your job well, and the rest is up to fate."
The amount of wealth one can enjoy is directly proportional to the amount of risk one can bear.
Xiu'er: "Exactly, let's just do it. Whether we win or lose, we'll both be remembered in history! It's just that my name is too ordinary."
If you randomly shout "Xiu'er" on the street, seven or eight people will turn around.
Who knows which Xiu'er she'll be in the future?
Tang Zhuyun, with tears in her eyes, was amused by her words: "So you still want to change your name?"
"Never mind," Xiu'er said. "It was my father who named it. If I change it, my mother will beat me to death. It's a pity, that's all."
Tang Zhuyun: "Then you'll have to carefully consider your child's name yourself, so he doesn't suffer the same regrets as you."
Upon hearing this, Xiu'er looked at Nanxing, "Well, can I still count on that?"
Is there still a chance for Pei Ban?
It seems like Pei Ban might have died of suffocation at his father's place before he was even born?
If Pei Ban has no chance, then the child in her belly will probably only be able to get along with some "Song" or something.
Xiu'er was quite disappointed.
Nanxing: "Give Song a ride!"
Xiu'er: "Is this four-character phrase okay?"
Tang Zhuyun was almost dying of laughter from the two idiots, and her earlier sadness was greatly diluted.
Nanxing: "Song Lai!"
Xiu'er: "That's a good name, send them all over, let's call him Song Lai! Nanxing, you're awesome!"
Nanxing: "Shang Ke."
Tang Zhuyun: "That's enough, you two!"
She was afraid that if she laughed any harder, the children would burst out laughing; those two little devils.
Speaking of which, they're setting off tomorrow, so why hasn't Pei Shen shown up these past few days?
They're not going to give up, are they? What big move are they planning?
We're all leaving tomorrow...
Fine, if he can't or doesn't want to win her back, Tang Zhuyun will just take Nanxing away.
At the same time, Tang Mingfan was talking to the Prince of Jin.
"... Through half a lifetime of trials and tribulations, I dare say I have no regrets before Heaven, Earth, my teachers, and my ancestors, but I have failed A-Yun and her mother."
Tang Mingfan clutched the handkerchief left by his deceased wife, his eyes already red.
"A-Yun is stubborn and opinionated, and she can't stand being wronged... So even though I know the Prince dotes on her, I still can't bear to part with her and I can't rest easy."
"If in the future, the prince and she develop a grudge, please don't say anything to her, lest she upset you. Tell me, and I will write a letter to persuade her."
The Prince of Jin said, "Rest assured, sir. In the future, even if we quarrel, no matter the reason, I will be the first to back down."
How could he bear to hurt someone who knows him, understands him, and cares for him even slightly?
Tang Mingfan said, "It is precisely because of Your Highness's words that you will remember to include me and Baixin in all matters from now on."
"Please don't do this, Your Majesty, I can't bear it," Prince of Jin said sincerely. "You should do what you need to do. As for my fate, having A-Yun with me is enough. I don't want A-Yun to feel guilty."
He paused, then continued, "Besides, you have a distinguished reputation and cherish your image; you don't need to worry about me..."
"If A-Yun is not good, what's the point of my reputation in this life?"
His wife is already gone; if he loses his daughter too, how will he spend the rest of his life?
"Your Highness, as long as you become a wise ruler in the future, with a heart for the world and compassion for all living beings, you will not have failed my choice today."
Tang Mingfan has chosen a side!
