Wei Bingyan could basically guess what the Guan family was like from her master's few words and Guan Hualang's daily behavior. She always felt that the Guan family was just a small sect and that their family was very simple, otherwise Guan Hualang would not have such a cute and genuine personality.

But what no one expected was that the Guan family was actually the famous Guan Manor, which was unrivaled in the world. Almost all the medicinal herb trade in the entire Tang Dynasty was controlled by Guan Manor...

It's not that Wei Bingyan knows a lot about the martial arts world. She is just a lady in the boudoir. However, in order to avenge her past life, she needs to understand many things. She knows that the Sixth Prince was able to ascend the throne smoothly at that time with the help of people in the martial arts world, and the one who helped the Sixth Prince was Guan Zhuang.

Guan Hualang is actually the young master of Guanzhuang...

Wei Bingyan turned around, looking at the curtains above the bed and unable to fall asleep. Her mind kept thinking about the news she had heard from Guan Hualang at dusk. She really couldn't believe that Guan Hualang was the young master of Wushuang Manor. No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't tell that Guan Hualang came from such a place.

The conflicts within the big gangs in Jianghu are believed to be no less than those within the famous families. Is Guan Hualang pretending to be honest and loyal, or is he really like that?

Regardless of what kind of person Guan Hualang is, at least he cares about her and is willing to protect a junior sister like her, and that's all.

Wei Bingyan sighed, closed her eyes, slowly relaxed and fell asleep.

The next day, after a night's rest, everyone gradually regained their energy, and after breakfast, they started their return journey.

Knowing Guan Hualang's background, Wei Bingyan did not have any different attitude towards this senior brother. After all, she was not really young. If she had not had the life experience in her previous life, her attitude would have been different.

If one travels non-stop, it will take ten days to get back to the capital from Jinyun City. Wei Bingyan and her group are all women, children and young children, so they naturally travel slowly. It is already very good if they can get back within a month.

"We are almost at Lingshan. We will rest there for one night and will reach the capital in twelve hours." Guan Hualang drove the horse, took a sip of water from the water bag in his hand, then turned around and spoke to Wei Bingyan in the carriage.

Lingshan...it's finally here!

"If we don't stay in Lingshan, is there any other place we can stay?" Although Wei Bingyan knew that no matter how she avoided it, she would eventually stay in Lingshan and would happen to meet Shen Rouruo, but she still hoped not to meet her.

Guan Hualang frowned and said, "If we don't settle down in Lingshan, we will most likely have to camp. I don't mind being alone, but I'm afraid you won't be able to adapt."

Wei Bingyan smiled, feeling somewhat helpless, "I'm just asking."

You will meet him eventually!

After entering the city wall of Lingshan, Wei Bingyan felt a little depressed.

"We've finally arrived at Lingshan." Xiao sighed, fatigue evident on her face. Although she had deliberately slowed down her pace, she was still mentally damaged as she was physically weak.

Wei Bingyan said with a smile: "Yes, mother, we will be back home soon."

When she got home, her good life was about to end.

"Madam, we have arrived at the post station." The carriage stopped. Xia Yuezhu gently lifted a corner of the curtain to take a look, then turned around and spoke to Xiao.

Xiao reached out her hand and rubbed her forehead. "You should go to bed early tonight. You will be in good spirits when you return to the capital in two days."

Xiao He and Xia Yuezhu helped Xiao get off the carriage, and Wei Bingyan followed closely behind. Aunt Qiu also got out of the carriage behind her and walked to Xiao's side.

Lingshan is not far from the capital, so its level is naturally unmatched by other cities.

Especially the environment of the post house. Since a large number of people coming and going were officials in power in the capital, the merchants and wealthy families in the city, in order to flatter these officials, not only did they work hard to rebuild the quaint and elegant attic in the post house, but they also dug ditches underneath to allow water to flow, planted bamboo trees, and planted thousands of pear trees.

When these officials or close relatives who have traveled thousands of kilometers arrive at the inn, they can rest and recuperate in the refreshing green trees and sparkling water of the inn, wash away the dust and feel at home.

Wei Bingyan raised her head to look at the majestic post house. Its majestic eaves radiated a heavy glow in the sunlight.

This place... is a place that she will never forget no matter how much time has passed. It is the source of her destiny that she remembers deeply...

Guan Hualang stood upright beside Wei Bingyan, but he didn't notice the brilliance in her eyes. Looking at the inn that was more luxurious and magnificent than the one he had stayed in before, he said with a smile, "No wonder these talented scholars study hard every day. It turns out that being an official can also be enjoyable."

Hearing his words, Wei Bingyan woke up from her sadness and said with a smile, "If you want to enjoy this kind of life, you can follow Third Senior Brother and you will definitely enjoy endless wealth and glory."

"Ugh!" Guan Hualang sneered, "That kid has a very strange temper. He doesn't respect the elderly at all. I've been with him for such a long time and he hasn't made me faint. That's because I'm tough!"

He originally wanted to talk about Laozi, but the junior sister didn't want them to be uncultured and uncultured, so she endured it.

Li Yuyan is a person who looks gentle in appearance but is actually arrogant and ruthless in his heart, while Guan Hualang is a person who is purely stubborn and has a straightforward and lively temperament.

When these two people are together, they are bound to have quarrels and disagreements from time to time, but everyone can see that the brotherhood between them is very deep.

Xia Yuezhu ordered the servants to take the large boxes off the carriage, and then led the carriage to the stables in the post house.

Xiao He handed the nameplate to the soldier outside. When the soldier saw that it was the nameplate of the Wei family in the capital, his face immediately turned stern and he bowed humbly, "Mrs. Wei, please come in. The postmaster has already ordered the side room to be prepared."

With an elegant smile on her face, Xiao held Aunt Qiu's hand and walked into the posthouse, with others following behind her all the way.

Wei Bingyan's expression became increasingly heavy, and deep in her heart she was quietly counting how many steps she had to take before the woman she had hated all her life would appear.

When they were about to walk into the side room in the inner courtyard, there was a commotion outside the door.

Xiao just frowned, didn't turn around, and just kept walking.

"...We are the relatives of General Shen from the capital. Why don't you let us into the inn?" Suddenly, a sharp and creepy voice sounded and reached the ears of Xiao and Wei Bingyan.

Wei Bingyan revealed an obscure and difficult to understand expression, and she forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and it was very faint and shallow.

"Xia Yuezhu, go and ask, are they relatives of General Shen Wei?" Xiao stopped and told Xia Yuezhu to go outside and inquire unnoticed.

Wei Bingyan stepped forward and held onto Xiao's arm tightly, saying softly and coquettishly, "Mom, aren't you tired? Let's go back to the house and rest. If the people outside are really General Shen's relatives, how could they be turned away? Let's not worry about this matter."

Xiao said softly, "If they are really General Shen's relatives, let's go and greet them. Your father tried to win over General Shen before but to no avail. Now is the opportunity."

Wei Bingyan felt a little anger rising up in her heart. Mother, you always consider Wei Zhong in everything. Even when it comes to things outside, you try to build relationships for him. But has he ever thought about your hard work for him?

After he was fascinated by Shen Rouruo, when did he ever think that you were his first wife? How much love and heartache did he have for you? Your love for him was as strong as gold, but how did he treat you?

Wei Bingyan had these words on the tip of her tongue but couldn't utter them. She could only ask them quietly in her heart.

"Mom, you go and rest first. I'll go over to take a look. If he is really a relative of General Shen, I will go and say hello." Wei Bingyan advised softly.

Just at this moment, Xia Yuezhu, who had been sent out to investigate, came back with small steps.

"Madam, there is a young girl outside. She said she is the niece of General Shen. She was preparing to go to the capital from her hometown to seek refuge with her uncle, General Shen. However, her money was stolen on the way, and even the nameplate of her residence was missing. The postmaster did not ask them to come." Xia Yuezhu said.

Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Did you tell me where your hometown is?"

"He said he came from Henan." Xia Yuezhu replied.

"Shen Wei is from Henan." Xiao nodded and turned to go outside.

Wei Bingyan stopped her directly and said softly, "Mom, it's too casual to believe what that guy said just like that. Why don't you just let your daughter go? You don't have to lower your status, right?"

"Bingyan, you have more and more ideas." Xiao smiled and glared at Wei Bingyan, not caring too much.

"Mom, you are not just thinking too much. We will be returning home in two days. You have become weaker due to the long journey. If you don't have a good rest, how can you have the energy to deal with those people at home?" Wei Bingyan was anxious and tried her best to prevent her mother from meeting Shen Rouruo.

Since the fate of the meeting with Shen Rouruo cannot be changed, it's at least possible to have less contact with her!

Xiao thought about who she would have to deal with after returning home, and she also felt that she had been very tired these past few days. She frowned and hesitated for a moment before nodding, "You go and meet her. If she is really Shen Wei's niece, I will help her to the end."

"Yes, mother!" Wei Bingyan breathed a sigh of relief, "Xia Yuezhu, Xiaohe, help Madam to rest!"

Let Anxiang and the others go to the side room first, and Wei Bingyan only took Bai Binghui outside. Guan Hualang had his own things to do, so he also followed them out.
