Shen Rong and her friends entered the city in the afternoon.

In order to keep a low profile, the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion did not send anyone to pick up Changsheng and the others. When the carriage entered the capital, Gong Shaoshan told the coachman to drive faster so that he could return to the mansion in advance to report the news.

Shen Rong was sitting in the carriage and felt that the speed of the carriage seemed to slow down. She thought it was because there were too many people outside and the carriage could not move fast. She did not notice that the carriage in front had left the two carriages behind far behind and disappeared in the crowd in the blink of an eye.

No matter how slowly the carriage moved, Shen Rong and his party still managed to enter the Pingyang Marquis Mansion before the hour of You.

The carriage entered through the side door of Pingyang Marquis' Mansion without disturbing anyone.

Ever since Shen Rong was laughed at at the city gate, she had not allowed Changsheng and the two children to lift the curtain and look outside. Therefore, they had not seen much of the scenery along the way. They did not even know when the carriage entered the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. It was not until the carriage stopped at the outer courtyard that they realized they had finally arrived.

Shen Rong and Changsheng each got off the carriage holding a baby. When they looked up, they saw an old lady with half-white hair and a noble temperament looking at them excitedly through the carved door in front of them. To be more precise, she was looking at Changsheng and the two children.

Shen Rong and Changsheng did not recognize the old man, so they did not take any action.

When Mrs. Li saw Changsheng and the two children, she was so excited that she could hardly stand. If it weren't for Mother Hua beside her supporting her, she would have fainted from joy.

Originally, she asked Shaoshan to find this grandson. In fact, she did not have any hope in her heart. She just held on to such a glimmer of hope and gave it a try.

She didn't expect Shaoshan to actually find someone, until later Shaoshan's child sent a letter back, telling her that her grandson not only grew up well, but also had a wife and children. After receiving the news, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep for several nights.

For the safety of the children, she could only ask Shaoshan to bring them back in a low-key manner. For this reason, after the carriage arrived in Beijing, she went directly into the mansion without alerting the people in the West Mansion.

The old lady was dressed simply, and the jewelry on her head was also extremely simple. The material she was wearing was something Shen Rong had never seen before.

He looked like an ordinary old man, but Shen Rong had never seen such a dignified demeanor in anyone else.

Shen Rong found that the old woman opposite was looking at her. She subconsciously bowed to Old Madam Li, but when she raised her eyes, she was attracted by the surrounding scenery.

Opposite them, there was a hanging flower gate with emerald green bamboos planted on both sides. When the wind blew, the bamboo leaves rustled. In the center of the courtyard where they were, there was an exquisite rockery with rugged rocks. Next to the rockery, several bright peonies were blooming proudly.

It really is worthy of being a marquis' mansion. There are peonies blooming at this time of year. I don't know how they did it. Shen Rong was amazed as she watched.

There is a small pond behind the rockery. From the direction where Shen Rong is, you can see a few withered lotus flowers standing in the water.

Looking around the courtyard, the red walls, green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings are all exquisite.

Looking at this scene, Shen Rong realized that Changsheng's identity was different from what she had known before.

It would be a lie for Shen Rong to say she wasn't excited when she thought about her and her children living in such a beautiful place in the future.

While Shen Rong was looking around, Wang Qing helped the two old men out of the carriage.

Only after seeing Shen Lianchuan and Yao did Old Lady Li come back to her senses from her excitement.

With a grateful look on her face, she walked to the two elderly people and grabbed Yao’s hand, “Madam Yao, Doctor Shen, you have come all the way here, thank you for your hard work!

These children are really well raised... I can tell at a glance that you have put a lot of thought into them..."

Old Madam Li grabbed Yao's hand and spoke incoherently with excitement.

After traveling for such a long time, they finally arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, but Yao Shi was not feeling good.

Her face was exhausted. She was not flattered by Li's enthusiasm. She bowed to Madam Li and said calmly, "Madam Lao is worried."

Although the two were of the same generation, she was the Marquis' wife, so it was reasonable for Yao to show respect to her.

Next to him, Doctor Shen bowed to Madam Li and said, "Madam, I'll leave Changsheng's child to you for future care."

After that, he waved to Changsheng and his family, "Changsheng, come here, this is the old lady."

Changsheng looked at Old Madam Li with a look of unfamiliarity in his eyes. He did not listen to his grandfather and walked over. Instead, he hid behind Shen Rong.

Shen Rong had no choice but to bite the bullet and bow to the old lady again.

Li didn't care about these etiquettes at this time. Her grandson looked at her as if she were a stranger. Li would be lying if she said she didn't feel uncomfortable, but everyone was exhausted at the moment. She also knew that this was not the time to talk and reminisce. She turned to Hua Momo and instructed: "Hua Momo, you personally take people to settle the guests. Tell the people below to take good care of the guests. I will reward you handsomely."

"Yes!" Hua Momo responded, and then took the servants to move the things out of the carriage, and arranged a sedan chair to invite Changsheng and his group into it.

Li watched eagerly as Changsheng and the others got back into the sedan chair with the child in their arms. After the sedan chair left, she hurriedly told the kitchen staff to prepare the meal.

Shen Rong forced herself to sit in the carriage for such a long time, and now she finally arrived at the destination. After her tense body relaxed, she just felt exhausted all over.

She held her daughter in her arms and sat in the sedan chair. The sedan chair was shaking and soon Shen Rong became drowsy. Fortunately, she still remembered that she had a child in her arms, so she did not fall asleep.

After one stick of incense, Shen Rong and Changsheng walked into Guiyuan holding their children.

Guiyuan is very large, with five main rooms alone and side rooms on both sides. The room on the west side is a bedroom, and the room on the east side and the second room are separated by a green gauze cabinet.

There are also wing rooms on the east and west sides, and a garden at the back.

This yard is three times as big as the one they lived in the county town before.

Changsheng looked at the yard for a while, then turned around, but didn't see his grandparents, so he suddenly became anxious.

"Grandpa and grandma are missing." Changsheng pulled Shen Rong's sleeve.

Upon hearing this, Shen Rong withdrew her gaze from the yard in front of her, and realized that apart from a few servants packing their luggage, there were only her, Changsheng, and their two children in the yard.

At this time, a maid in yellow clothes said crisply, "To answer the young master and mistress, Master Shen and his men are resting in the next yard. You can see them when you have rested."

Changsheng heard this and was about to go out, but Shen Rong grabbed him.

"Let's wash up first! We've been traveling for so long, we're almost smelly."

Along the way, they could only wash up properly when they stayed at an inn. If there was no inn, they could only endure it.

The last time Shen Rong took a shower and changed clothes was seven or eight days ago.

The weather is getting cold now. If it were a normal day, not taking a shower for seven or eight days would not be a big deal, but they were in a hurry and were covered in dust!

When Shen Rong learned that her grandparents were fine, she decided to wash up first.

As for Changsheng going to look for his grandparents, Shen Rong could understand it. Changsheng had never been separated from his grandparents since he was a child, except for the time when he got lost. Wherever he went, the whole family lived in the same yard. Living separately like this was something they had never experienced before.

Shen Rong understood Changsheng, but now that they had come to the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, the things they had done before were no longer applicable. As newcomers, they had to follow the rules.
