Go to the capital

On this trip, Shuang Zihua had prepared quite a few things. She knew that if her son really passed the exam, she would probably have to stay in the capital for a while. She was truly afraid that if he was given a position in the capital, She might need to live with him too. Avoiding danger from her old family would definitely be very difficult. Even though many decades have passed But she never believed that they would stop bullying her.

 Master Jian Yuan's carriage was ahead of Shuang Zihua's carriage all the way. Until it was close to You City. Shuang Zihua asked Master Jian Yuan to go into the city to visit the older brothers she respected for one day. Shuang Zhizhi also remembered the uncles.

 Master Jian Yuan saw that there were still several months left and so he indulged the mother and son. When they want to visit relatives He would be able to stay at the inn comfortably for a day as well.

 After entering the city, they parted ways and arranged to meet tomorrow at the city gates to continue their journey. Shuang Zihua accepted and immediately drove the horse to Brother Du's shelter that she remembered well. When reaching the front of the office She was surprised to find no one there. Plus, the Bureau of Safety also announced it for sale.

 Shuang Zihua found the villagers in that area and inquired until he got the following answer: The owner of the safety bureau has been called back to work by his boss. So he sold the shelter and led all the people to their master for two years. Shuang Zihua thanked the townspeople for her inquiry. He then took his son to the inn that Master Jian Yuan had told him about.

 Tonight they had to stay at the inn before continuing their journey tomorrow instead. Shuang Zhizhi was now 13 years old. He was almost half a head taller than his mother. Shuang Zihua was still surprised that her son could inherit both his father's body and appearance. As far as she vaguely remembered That person was also quite tall. Even though she herself was quite a bit taller than other young women. But it was still much smaller than him.

 As for Du An, who didn't know that Shuang Zihua and Shuang Zhizhi had stopped by to visit. He had been reunited with Prince Zhuang Kang many years ago. They just haven't received an order to follow you yet. Until the prince became the general of the region that the emperor valued. They were immediately summoned.

 Before reaching the capital in a few days Shuang Zihua consulted her son's teacher that she wanted to stay in Zhuangzi outside the capital instead of renting a house there. She was afraid that those people would find out and come and harass her son during the textbook review. Shuang Zihua claimed that Zhuangzhi's rent was much cheaper than in the capital. Master Jian Yuan also knew that the rent in the capital was not cheap. In fact, he was the son of a great court noble. Just fed up with politics where everyone is selfish. So he asked his family to teach at the border several years ago. After all, his family still had an older brother who could take over his father's duties. His family did not object at all. He just had to send news to his family so they wouldn't be missed.

 Since Shuang Zhizhi's mother didn't want to rent a house in the capital. He also would not have to return to his family to stay. But he probably went to pay respects to the elders according to custom. before returning to help students review textbooks before taking exams

 Shuang Zihua saw that the teacher had no objection. So she traveled leisurely until she found a village near the capital where Zhuang Zi was available for rent. Inside there are exactly two separate houses. This allows the three of them to live comfortably. The rent was initially paid by Shuang Zihua himself. But her son's teacher refused. So she had to split the bill with him in half for five months. The time allowed is after the exam results have been announced. There are now almost four months left until the exam date.

 Jian Yuan's Horse Driver In fact, it was his personal bodyguard that the master had ordered to accompany him to the border. He himself knew that the young master had been interested in this widow for many years. But she never had any attitude. His young master could only secretly glance at her often.

 They all carried things into each other's houses to rest. before the evening Shuang Zihua would go to the market to buy fresh produce to cook here. Fortunately, they arrived after eating a hearty breakfast. When I got a place to stay before noon So they rested comfortably until almost evening.

 Shuang Zihua invited his son to go to the market near the capital gate. She knew that this side of Zhuangzi was on the opposite side from her old palace. Therefore, she inquired about the important places on this side of the door with the owner of the house in advance.

 Master Jian Yuan also wanted to go to the palace to visit his family first. So he told the mother and son that he would come back tomorrow evening. They did not ask any further questions. Because they all know that each person must have their own personal issues as well. The more about her She couldn't say anything.

 Shuang Zihua and Shuang Zhizhi, who had already taken all the things, drove their horses out of Zhuangzi to the market not far away. She had told her son from the beginning that it would be better to park the horse outside the capital's gates. It will be convenient when traveling back. Shuang Zhizhi who had never been to the capital. He could tell from what Mother said that she had probably been in the capital before. But he didn't dare ask Mother. He regretted having to make Mother come back here again. He felt the closer he got to the capital. His mother became more and more absent-minded. So he had to watch over Mother more closely than usual. Because he was afraid that something unexpected would happen to his mother.

 Shuang Zihua didn't know that her behavior was abnormal until his son saw it. She tried to act cheerful as usual. There were only times when images of the pain she had experienced flashed through her mind. Until she was lost in thought, and those images also caused the fear within her heart to erupt.

 Two mother and daughter happily shopping together Unbeknownst to her, Shuang Ai Liu's servant who had bullied her had secretly come to buy things with her lover in the mansion. She recognized Shuang Zihua in the blink of an eye. But he didn't recognize the boy walking beside Shuang Zihua. After all, she had bullied Shuang Zihua since childhood. Therefore, she had never been afraid of Shuang Zihua before. She told her lover to wait for her here. She happened to meet an acquaintance so she went to say hello. This lover had just entered the mansion after Shuang Zihua had left the mansion many years ago. So he didn't know what she would do and just let her go.
