The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

On the other side, after Yan Shu left Mr. Cui's study, he met several ladies of the Cui family. Although they had not seen each other for many years, they were still very enthusiastic towards her. They took her hand and went to the pavilion in the garden to chat enthusiastically.

Upon learning that Yan Shu was pregnant, Madam Cui immediately arranged for the embroiderers in the mansion to sew clothes for Yan Shu's child. She also asked the nanny around her to go to her private storehouse to select some gold and silver jewelry and precious nourishing herbs, and send them over.

The second, third and fourth wives also did not leave out and gave gifts one after another.

Yan Shu looked at the gifts piled up like a mountain and pinched his brows with a headache.

"I appreciate the kindness of my mother and several aunts, but I feel ashamed to accept so many valuable gifts."

The Third Lady held Yan Shu's hand and said, "It's okay, you just need to give each of us a set of skin care products."

Madam Cui laughed and said, "Your abacus beads are hitting me in the face. Shu'er, don't listen to her nonsense. You are pregnant now, so it is important to take care of yourself."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "I happen to have a few sets of skin care products in my hand. I'll ask my sister-in-law to send some to you later."

Madam Cui Er said, "If we have something ready, we won't be polite."

The few of them chatted and laughed about many things, mostly about the changes that had happened to the Cui family over the years. As for Yan Shu's resurrection, she also gave a simple reason. The ladies were all smart people and naturally did not ask too many questions.

This time when I came to Cui's house, I didn't meet several girls from the Cui family. They have all been married, and none of them have married to the local area. Some married to the capital, and two married to Nanyang Prefecture. In short, it is not easy for them to come back.

This time, Yan Shu stayed at Cui's house for three days before continuing on his journey. Finally, he returned to Xinyang Prefecture to celebrate the New Year near the end of the year.

Back in Xinyang City, every household on the streets has put up red couplets and red lanterns, and most of the vendors on both sides of the street sell New Year-related items.

Yan Shu leaned in Jiang Ci's arms, looking at the bustling streets of Xinyang Prefecture with curiosity.

"Xinyang Prefecture has changed so much."

The street has been widened a lot than before, and many of the shops around it look very new. They should have been built in recent years. Three- or five-story restaurants, inns, teahouses, etc. can be seen on both sides of the street.

Jiang Ci explained: "Xinyang Prefecture was the first prefecture to implement the change to grain planting. In addition, Yongding Hou has been governing well in recent years. The people of Xinyang Prefecture have gradually become wealthy, and the appearance of the city has also changed greatly."

The carriage slowly stopped, and Yan Wu shouted towards them: "Erlang, little sister, we are home."

Jiang Ci said softly, "Get out of the car."

Yan Shu nodded, Jiang Ci got off the carriage first, and then carried her down horizontally.

"The fetus is stable now, let me down and take a walk."

During her pregnancy, Jiang Ci took care of her meticulously, even remembering many taboos more carefully than she did, which made her often feel like a giant baby.

"It just snowed, and the road is slippery and you may fall. Let your husband carry you back home. If you want to walk, we can go for a walk in the space after we get back to the house."

Yan Shu thought the same thing. Xinyang Prefecture was located somewhat to the north, and the winters here were very cold. It had snowed for the past two days, and although it was sunny today, the ground was very slippery due to the melted ice and snow.

"Alright, I'll have to trouble you, husband."

Liu Wenniang, Xu Shuangxue and Liu Yuanxin also got off the carriage one after another. Yan Ersheng went forward and knocked on the door. The servant in the front yard heard the knock and ran out quickly. He opened the door and saw that it was the master and the ladies who came back. He immediately opened the door and invited everyone in.

This house was the same one that Yan Shu had bought before, but later when Yan Wen had money, he built another courtyard on the vacant land in the backyard. Now it has become a house with three entrances and three exits, which is just enough room for the Yan family, which has few people.

As soon as Liu Wenniang returned home, she ordered her servants to light a charcoal fire in the backyard.

Yan Shu and Jiang Ci lived in the newly built east courtyard of the backyard, and then the family began to prepare for the New Year.

On New Year’s Eve, the family had dinner together, set off fireworks, and then sat together to stay up until the end of the year.

What parents care about most is their children, and they will mention the situation of each child in the family between the lines.

Liu Wenniang said, "Now the eldest and second sons have already started their own families and careers. The eldest son already has two children. Second son, you and Xin'er should work harder so that we can have a big fat grandson or daughter next year."

Liu Yuanxin was holding Yan Wen and Xu Shuangxue's child and teasing him. When she heard what Liu Wenniang said, her cheeks turned slightly red and she glanced at Yan Wu who was standing beside her.

Yan Wu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, mom. My wife and I will work hard."

Liu Wenniang looked at Jiang Ci and Yan Shu and said, "Shu'er, you should stay at home and take good care of your pregnancy. I will take good care of you."

Yan Shu said, "Mother, I have something to tell you."

Everyone's eyes turned to her, and Yan Shu said that he was about to leave.

"Aci and I want to travel around while we are still young."

Yan Wu said: "Little sister, you are still pregnant and it is not easy for you to travel far. You should wait until you give birth to the baby before going out. Your second sister-in-law and I also plan to go out again. Then we can go together."

Yan Ersheng also said: "Your second brother is right, my girl, I'm afraid your body will become more and more heavy in the future, so you should stay at home. Our whole family can help take care of you."

Yan Shu said truthfully: "Dad, Mom, Ah Ci and I are leaving this time and space together."

Yan Wu is now a cultivator and understands Yan Shu's identity, so he naturally knows where she is going.

"Little sister, can you take Jiang Ci away with you?"

"Well, my space does not belong to any time and space, so it will not be restricted by time and space transfer."

Yan Wu's eyes lit up: "Can you come back?"

Yan Shu explained: "This separation will not be forever. We will come back to see you often. When the child is older, we will bring him back to see you."

Hearing this answer, the family's sad mood was comforted.

After spending the New Year in harmony, the Yan family returned to Banpo Village on the fifth day of the New Year. When the villagers learned that Jiang Ci and Yan Shu had returned, thousands of people knelt at the entrance of the village to welcome them.

Their Banpo Village is well-known in Xinyang Prefecture. Not only did the grain reform originate from their Banpo Village, but the emperor and empress of the Sui Dynasty also came from their village.

A temple was also built in the village, and inside it was a statue of Yan Shu. Yan Shu went to take a look at the statue himself. Although the statue was a little ugly, it was very popular. Not only did the villagers of Banpo Village often come to burn incense, but many people from the mountain also came to worship it.

If Yan Shu had not donated grain seeds and led the whole village to reclaim wasteland and grow large amounts of grain, the people would not have the stable and prosperous life they have today.

Therefore, the people of the Sui Dynasty all respected this beautiful but ill-fated queen.

On the fifteenth day of the lunar year, the Yan family left Banpo Village and returned to Xinyang Prefecture. Yan Shu took the time to go to Yongding Marquis Mansion with Jiang Ci.

This time, I originally wanted to visit Liu Bin and Pei Qingwan, but I didn't expect to meet Liu Hanyue in their mansion.

Liu Hanyue did not show much surprise when he saw Yan Shu.

"Master went back to Qingyun Mountain a while ago and said you were back."

Yan Shu looked at Liu Hanyue in front of him. He was tall and handsome. The feminine beauty that was more like a woman was gone. His eyebrows and eyes became colder. Perhaps it was because he had been practicing in seclusion in Qingyun Mountain for many years, there was a faint immortal aura around him.

"How have you... been doing in Qingyun Mountain these years?"

Liu Hanyue smiled faintly, raised her hand, picked up the teacup in front of the stone table, brought it to her lips and took a sip.

"Qingyun Mountain is full of spiritual energy, which is more suitable for concentration on cultivation without distraction. It is more suitable for me."

After he finished speaking, he raised his clear peach blossom eyes and looked at her.

"What about you? Will you leave again this time when you come back?"

"Let's go."

Liu Hanyue paused for a moment: "Where's Jiang Ci? Is he going with you?"

Yan Shu nodded, and Liu Hanyue was silent for a while.

"He has waited for you for eight years. It is indeed a good choice for you to marry him."

Yan Shu wanted to say something, but he felt that he was in no position to say anything comforting, so he finally remained silent.

The two sat quietly for a while, and Jiang Ci, Liu Bin and Pei Qingwan walked over here together.

"Ma'am, it's getting late. We should go back."

Yan Shu stood up and looked at Liu Hanyue, then took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

"This is a pill that can improve your cultivation. I wish you can improve your cultivation and achieve your wish soon."

Liu Hanyue stared at her with a silent gaze, and finally smiled with relief: "The mountains are high and the road is long, see you in the rivers and lakes, take care!"

"Take care of yourself!"

After Jiang Ci said goodbye to Liu Bin and Pei Qingwan, he left the Marquis' Mansion with Yan Shu.

Liu Hanyue stood in the pavilion and watched the couple walking further and further away. When their figures disappeared from his sight, he lowered his eyes and looked at the pill in his hand.

Ah Shu, may all your wishes come true.
