Chapter 331 Leave (Final Chapter)

The decree of pardoning Liu Yao soon came down. Sure enough, as Liu Ming said, there was no mention of Ye's side concubine in the imperial edict, nor did he mention the 6 million taels of gold. He only said that Liu Xi, the second son of King Jing, defected to the enemy. However, because Liu Yao had meritorious deeds against the enemy, his merits were offset and only punished by reducing his title. Therefore, Liu Yao, who was originally the king of the capital, now has only a first-class marquis. It is said that this is also the result of King Qing and other ministers pleaded for mercy.

And these are nothing for Jiang Ting, who has been frightened for months. She only cares about how Liu Yao, who has been imprisoned for nearly two months, is doing now. Therefore, after receiving the imperial edict, she immediately asked people to pull horses and carriages and go to the prison to pick them up.

However, as soon as Jiang Ting stepped out of the door of the inn, she saw a familiar figure appear in front of her. The man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing a jade crown and a jade belt around his waist. His eyes were bright and his face was smiling. Except for his slightly thinner face, he seemed to have just returned from visiting his friends, and he could not see the imagined embarrassment at all.

"I'm about to pick you up." Jiang Ting looked at Liu Yao, who was looking at her with flying eyebrows in a daze, and her eyes were a little hazy: "You're back..."

"Well, I'm back." Liu Yao hugged her with a smile in his arms, didn't care about the strange eyes of the people around him, and said gently, "Look, I'm back well."

Jiang Ting couldn't help hugging him back, jumped into his arms and crying and laughing for a while before wiping away her tears and looking up at his face seriously. Then, she said sadly, "I've lost a lot of weight."

"Well, there's not much meat there." Liu Yao answered casually and took her hand and said, "Take me back to the room first. It's not good for us to talk here."

Jiang Ting turned her head and looked around. Sure enough, she saw people with all kinds of strange expressions. Her face turned red and she hurriedly lowered her head and dared not see anyone again. She has never been so disrespectful in front of everyone!

Liu Yao nodded with a smile to the audience, motioned to lead the way in front of Chuntao's head behind her, and took Jiang Ting's hand and walked into the inn. Jiang Ting lowered her head and followed him with a red face, but did not draw her hand back from his hand. Feeling the warmth in his hand, her heart, which she had been holding, fell firmly into her stomach and was very stable.

The emperor pointed out that the Marquis's mansion to Liu Yao was once the Protectorate, and the title given to him was the Marquis of Peace. At first, Jiang Ting and Liu Yao were immersed in the joy of safety and did not feel any problem with such a title and lockdown. But when the two stood in front of the Protector's Mansion, which had just torn the seal and removed the plaque, they both felt the deep malice in the emperor's heart towards them.

The dilapidated mansion has been vacant for more than two years, and even half a seal on the gate is swaying in the wind, and this is their Hou Mansion.

Liu Yao sighed and looked at Jiang Ting and said, "It seems that there is no way to live here. Otherwise, let's go back to Lingnan. I only have an empty title now, and I have nothing to do. It's no problem to go anywhere.

Jiang Ting nodded silently and did not say that she still had several industries in the capital. She was not afraid of having no place to live. Instead, she said to Liu Yao, "Then let's leave a few reliable people to repair the Hou Mansion in the capital. We can't let it be broken like this. Besides, I want to go to the northwest to see my father and others, and I don't know what Cheng'er and Xian'er look like.

"Okay, let's go to the northwest first and then go back to Lingnan." Liu Yao nodded very cheerfully and said with a smile, "However, I only have an empty title now, and the industry and so on have been seized by the court together with the King Jing Palace. So, madam, I will rely on you to support me in the future.

Jiang Ting looked at him with a smile and felt that Liu Yao after this time was much more cheerful than before. No, it's too cheerful, which always gives her the illusion that she has changed. Therefore, she did not answer and deliberately said, "Don't worry, as a first-class marquis, you have a salary and can also support your family."

"Madam," Liu Yao shouted, "That little salary is not enough to support the family at all!"

"Well, I heard that men can't spend their wives' dowry." Jiang Ting looked at Liu Yao seriously and asked, "As a marquis, you can't break the precepts, can you?"

Liu Yao suddenly pulled her into his arms and pleaded softly in her ear: "Then Ting'er, you leave the business to me to take care of. I'll help you do things, so you won't offend to raise me.

Jiang Ting pushed his head away with a hot face and shouted in shame, "Let go, what does this look like!"

It's like this again! Since this guy was released from prison, she has always been so close to people at no time and place, and she is almost ashamed to see people! He has never done this before.

"Then promise me first." Liu Yao held Jiang Ting tightly and did not let go, and still tried his best to stick to her face.

The girl driver and others who followed them all suppressed their smiling faces at this moment, lowered their heads and turned around, and dared not look again. The marquis really spoiled his wife more and more. It's just that in broad daylight, this is indeed a little indelight. Fortunately, there are no outsiders around at this time. Let's take it as if they haven't seen it.

"Okay, I promise you, let go quickly." Jiang Ting answered in a weak whisper, only feeling that her face was about to be angry.

"Good Ting'er!" Liu Yao praised her with a smile and kissed her in the palm of her hand. Then he relaxed his arms and took her hand instead. He said, "Then leave this place to Zhao Xi. He has always been responsible for repairing this place. Let's go back to the capital."

"Why..." Jiang Ting closed her mouth in the middle of the question. She looked at Liu Yao's expression of "I will be angry if you dare to plead with me" and silently lit a candle for Zhao Xi in her heart.

Who let him be kind on the way to the golden son, and as a result, he saved a detailed work disguised as a refugee and let the emperor in the capital know the truth of their abnormal behavior? As a result, all the gold sent to the northwest was secretly escorted to the capital by the emperor. The gold that arrived flew away, and he couldn't complain that Liu Yao would be angry with him.

Then, she pretended to be serious and nodded, "You're right. It's appropriate to leave him in the capital. I will write to him when I go back and ask Zhihua to take his child to Beijing to accompany him.

Seeing that Jiang Ting only hesitated a little and agreed, Liu Yao was immediately happy. However, he will never tell her why he had to take Zhao Xi away from her. Humph, Tinger is his wife, and of course he has to protect everything about her. Zhao Xi really cares too much!

"However, Zhao Xi is my father's subordinate, not my slave." Jiang Ting said a little cautiously, "Actually, my father asked him to go to Lingnan with me because he was worried about the complicated situation in the royal palace and asked him to take someone to protect me. But now, I don't need him anymore. Therefore, after he repairs the Hou Mansion, let him go back to his father's place.

As long as Zhao Xi doesn't stay by her side, Liu Yao will be fine. He knew that his exclusive desire for Jiang Ting seemed to be a little too much. But since she is willing to let the guy go, of course he will not refuse.

Jiang Ting was also relieved to see that Liu Yao had no intention of trapping Zhao Xi. She is not unavailable, but since she followed Jiang Yong to the capital, Zhao Xi has followed them. Compared with some people later, Zhao Xi is certainly more trustworthy.

However, since Zhao Xi has lost Liu Yao's trust now, there is no need for her to force him to make Liu Yao unhappy. Besides, it's a little difficult for a talented person like Zhao Xi to be a small stewer beside her. It's more appropriate to go back and follow his father to guard the frontier.

A few days later, outside the north gate of the capital, Sun Yun and Princess An Tai pulled Jiang Ting to wipe their tears. Princess Pingning has a big belly. Jiang Ting had visited yesterday, so she didn't come to see her off today. The main reason is that her son-in-law is too strict with her.

"You have just arrived in the capital. Why do you have to leave again?" Sun Yun looked at Jiang Ting with tears in her eyes and asked, "Can't you stay any longer?" Even if you can't live in the Hou Mansion, you can still live in the royal palace.

"Yes, why do you have to leave now?" Princess Antai also said reluctantly, "We haven't got together to play once. You're leaving now. Even if you have to go back, wait for me."

The second brother of the Tian family has made a lot of military achievements. This time, he also sealed a four-grade military officer and will follow Zhang Qinglin to Lingnan. Therefore, soon, Princess Antai will go to Lingnan with her husband.

Jiang Ting explained with a smile, "Don't do this. It's not that I won't come back. I will come back when the Hou Mansion is repaired. The former Duke of Protectorate is very large, and I plan to build a lotus garden in it. At that time, I will invite you to play as guests.

"Who doesn't look at the owner of the mansion? Why are you so relieved to hand things over to your subordinates? Princess Antai couldn't help saying another sentence. Although she knew that this was done by her cousin. But she is the emperor. The so-called gentleman has no joke. Even if she wants to hold an impet for Jiang Ting, this matter can't be changed.

"Aren't you here? Sister Yun will take more care of the affairs in our house in the future. Thank you in advance." Jiang Ting saluted Sun Yun with a smile.

"Our sisters, isn't it supposed to be? Do you still need to thank me?" Sun Yun's face turned red angrily and couldn't help beating Jiang Ting with a veil.

Jiang Ting smiled gratefully, and then looked at Princess Antai and said, "When the princess arrives in Lingnan, I will set up a banquet for good hospitality."

"Well, I will definitely eat you!" Princess Antai said viciously, "Just wait."

"Then I really need to prepare well." Jiang Ting smiled gently and saluted An Tai again: "Thank you for your love."

"You're messing with me again!" Princess Antai rushed over and gently hit Jiang Ting twice, and couldn't help holding her arm and crying. She understood what Jiang Ting was thanking them for. But they didn't help her. Although Liu Yao was not convicted, the original prince was replaced by a marquis and even lost his official position. This is not just a matter of downgrading several levels.

Several women here hugged each other and left, but on the other side, Liu Yao and Liu Ming were much more insipid.

"What are you going to do in the future?" Liu Ming asked lightly.

"Play in the mountains and rivers!" Liu Yao looked at Liu Ming proudly and said, "How about it? Are you envious?"

Liu Ming hummed, looked up at the distance, sighed gently, and did not answer.

"Bear by the way, you can help me keep an eye on my Hou Mansion, and you don't have to repair it. Just repair the garden that Tinger wants and repair the main room better. The rest will be done. Anyway, I don't plan to stay for a long time. Liu Yao said to Liu Ming, "Cousin, I don't have much money now. You can't cheat me like before."

"Who has the time to take care of you?" Liu Ming snorted again, and he didn't know who he was angry with. He said, "You can do whatever you want to do. I don't have time to worry about it."

"If I don't worry you, just help me watch." Liu Yao took a look at Jiang Ting over there and unconsciously became much gentler: "Tinger always hopes to be perfect and take her own silver as a silver flower. Please keep an eye on it for me. You don't have to fix it too well now. When I make money in the future, I will repair a better one for her.

"Hmm." Liu Ming answered gently.

After that, the two fell into a long silence. They can only tacit many things.

Finally, the farewell of the women is over. In the tears of Sun Yun and Princess Antai, Liu Yao took Jiang Ting into the carriage and left the capital.

On the way back to the royal palace, Sun Yun leaned in Liu Ming's arms and asked with tears, "They left in such a hurry. Aren't they going to come back?"

Liu Ming gently wiped her tears and said, "Don't cry. Even if they don't come back, it's to live a happier life in the future. It is the best thing that they can leave safely now. Bless them.

"Well, I wish Sister Ting well." Sun Yun wiped away her tears, but shed more: "However, I still want to see her again."

"I'll see you again." After a long time, Liu Ming's voice sounded muffled.
