Chapter 161 Return to Ping'an Town
Chapter 161 Return to Ping'an Town
Emperor Beichen originally wanted to let Han Yiyi stay in the palace as a female doctor, but when he thought that she would lose all his treasured treasures by treating him once, he decisively gave up the idea.
In fact, Emperor Beichen was still a little curious. When Nangong Yuan and Han Yiyi left the palace, they didn't have anything in their hands. So where did those "treasures" he treasured go?
Every time Emperor Beichen questioned Nangong Yuan, he was vague. Seeing this, Emperor Beichen stopped asking. He knew that there were some talented people in this world, but the cost was too high...
Han Yiyi's eyes widened when she saw the stack of banknotes handed over by Nangong Yuan, but when she heard that it was the medical fee given by Emperor Beichen, she immediately took it.
After counting, he found that there were actually 20,000 taels, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Wow, your emperor is so generous..."
Nangong Yuan looked at Han Yiyi, his eyes lit up when he saw the banknotes, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
"The consultation fee is 10,000 taels, and the other 10,000 taels is to repay the silver you gave me for buying food before. As for the extra money, it will be regarded as interest..."
"Interest, such a high interest, your emperor is too generous..."
Nangong Yuan didn't know why Han Yiyi addressed Emperor Beichen so strangely, but since she wasn't so happy, he just let her do what she wanted.
"I'm planning to go back to Ping'an Town tomorrow. Can you arrange two people to take me there?"
Looking at the smiling woman in front of him, Nangong Yuan's eyes were full of smiles. He was just about to tell Han Yiyi that he was going to ask Emperor Beichen to grant them a marriage.
But before he could open his mouth, he heard Han Yiyi say that she was leaving. The smile on his face froze and his eyes were full of surprise and loss.
"You, you want to leave, why...", the voice was trembling. In fact, he could feel that Han Yiyi had a slight affection for him, but why...
Han Yiyi lowered her head and avoided Nangong Yuan's gaze. In fact, she also had contradictions and struggles in her heart.
She admitted that she liked Nangong Yuan and knew how he felt about her.
But this little bit of love and affection was not enough to make her give up everything and spend the rest of her life trapped in this mansion. What's more, she could only be his co-wife and had to watch him go out with other women from time to time.
Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in Han Yiyi's eyes. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then raised his head to look at Nangong Yuan in front of him.
"I know you, your feelings, but I don't think we are suitable. But don't worry, I will leave Zicheng and Zihui in the general's mansion. After all, they are the general's descendants. I will come back to see them when I have time. Of course, if you have time, you can also bring them to Ping'an Town to visit..."
When Nangong Yuan heard Han Yiyi say that the two of them were not suitable, he thought that Han Yiyi was worried that he still cared about the fact that she had been divorced before, so he spoke without waiting for Han Yiyi to finish her words.
"How is it inappropriate? I, I don't care about your identity, and I don't care about your previous experience..."
Han Yiyi couldn't help but frown when she heard Nangong Yuan's words.
Although Han Yiyi could understand Madam Nangong, she was worried that being divorced, becoming the wife of General Nangong Yuan, Beichen, would damage his reputation.
But in fact, Han Yiyi never felt that she was inferior because of her divorced status, especially in relationships. Therefore, when she heard Nangong Yuan mention that she was divorced, she couldn't help feeling unhappy in her heart, so she spoke.
"You don't care, but I do. I admit that I like you a little bit, but this little bit of liking is enough to make me give up my freedom outside, stay in the deep courtyard, take care of my husband and children, and watch you go out with other women every day..." Of course, Han Yiyi did not say the latter sentence.
In fact, Han Yiyi really misunderstood Nangong Yuan. In Nangong Yuan's heart, he really didn't care about Han Yiyi's past. After all, he had been attracted to her when he was in Ping'an Town. The reason he said it was because he was worried that Han Yiyi would care.
When Nangong Yuan heard Han Yiyi say that she also liked him, his eyes lit up, but when he heard the rest of the words, the light faded away little by little.
He wanted to say something, but when he thought about the days Han Yiyi had spent in the general's mansion, although she had a smile on her face, there always seemed to be a hint of sadness between her brows, unlike the carefree and unrestrained girl in Zhushan Village.
Nangong Yuan originally thought that she was worried that the one thousand taels of silver would be wasted and would never be returned, which was why he went to Emperor Beichen every day to ask for the silver. But now it seems that she is unhappy in the General's Mansion...
He really wanted to tell her that if she didn't want to live in the General's Mansion, then he could go back to Zhushan Village with her, but he couldn't. He was the general of Beichen, and he had his responsibilities and mission. Even if that didn't matter, he still had his grandparents. He couldn't be so selfish...
Thinking of this, he wanted to open his mouth to say something to keep her, but he swallowed it back. However, the sadness and loneliness in her eyes made Han Yiyi feel choked up, and she couldn't help but look away.
When the two little guys learned that Han Yiyi was going back, they hurriedly packed up their things and wanted to go back with her. They looked at the two old people in fear and seemed angry.
In the end, Han Yiyi promised them that he would come back to see them after he harvested the peppers, and they gave up.
Seeing that Han Yiyi kept the jade bracelet and jasper hairpin that she had given her before, Old Lady Nangong sighed in her heart and thought to herself, what a stubborn girl she is.
In the fast-moving carriage, the curtains were blown up by the wind. At this moment, Han Yiyi suddenly felt a chill on her face. She raised her hand to wipe it away, only to find that her face was covered with tears without her knowing when.
It has been four months since I was kidnapped by Fan Ting and left Ping'an Town. When I go back, I will be able to catch up with the pepper harvest.
At Yunlai Restaurant, Manager Tong almost cried when he saw Han Yiyi suddenly appear.
"Sister Han, you, you are back. If you hadn't come back, I would have thought you were gone...", and then he ran towards Han Yiyi quickly.
If Ye Yi hadn't blocked him, this guy would have pounced on Han Yiyi.
Ye Yi was the one sent by Nangong Yuan to escort Han Yiyi. Looking at the ferocious Ye Yi beside Han Yiyi, Shopkeeper Tong couldn't help but tremble in his heart and subconsciously stepped back, but still looked at Han Yiyi with a face full of grievance.
She looked like an abandoned young wife, which made Han Yiyi speechless.
