Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Chapter 178 The Last Side

"Where did the letter come from?"

Ye Jingzhao looked suspiciously.

The maid held up the envelope with both hands, lowered her head, and replied, "Reply to Miss Fourth, it's a letter from Mrs. Mu."

Ye Jingzhao took the letter and stiffened.

Frowning, he slowly opened the envelope.

The third master and his wife all looked at their daughter.

This letter was sent by Mrs. Mu Zhao from the border.

The letter first said hello to everyone.

Then he asked Ye Jingzhao for something.

Mr. Zhao didn't have much time left, and he had previously received a longevity picture from Ye Jingzhao.

I closed my eyes, wanting to take another look at my grandson and grandson-in-law.

Ye Jingzhao handed the letter to his parents.

She had no idea at the moment.

The third master and his wife read the contents on the letter paper again and looked at each other.

I was a little surprised.

This is against the rules.

But it was hard to refuse.

The third lady, Mrs. Xie, dismissed the servants in the room.

She looked at the third master quietly, hoping that the third master would come up with an idea.

The third master looked at his daughter and asked, "Zhaozhao, what do you think?"

When he saw his father, he asked him what he meant.

She knew in her heart that her father wanted her to go.

"Father, mother, although this is against etiquette, after all, now is not the time to discuss rules, and my daughter has already made a marriage contract with First Master Mu."

"Right now, it's just because my daughter hasn't gotten haircut yet, so she can't get married."

"That way, there's nothing to be afraid of."

The third master nodded.

But the third lady, Mrs. Xie, was still a little hesitant, "Third Master, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

The third master also has the same worries as the madam.

But if she refuses this at this time, I am afraid it will chill Madam Mu Zhao's heart.

Come to think of it, she opened her mouth shamelessly today.

I have already thought of thousands of ways in my mind.

If there is a way, Mrs. Mu Zhao will definitely not do this.

"Why don't you go with Zhaozhao so that others can't say anything."

The third master finally came up with such a compromise.

The third lady, Mrs. Xie, thought about it for a while and finally agreed with the third master’s idea.

It's just that the third master's new house is outside. For the time being, the third master can only take time to look at it every day.

Mu Yanzong requested an edict from the emperor.

The emperor agreed for the first time.

During the period when Mu Yanzong was away, his second son, Ye Chen, was in charge of his position.

The emperor had no objection.

The old lady blocked this matter.

Seeing that the emperor agreed to this matter, she had no excuse to continue to block it.

Day two.

The group of people traveled in simple vehicles and were escorted by Mr. Mu.

Ye Jingzhao went to Yuming Academy for a month's leave.

It would be great if we could come back early.

Mrs. Ye San, Mrs. Xie, her daughter, Mrs. Wang, a woman in charge, Qiu Yu, Hong Zao and Xiang Yuan.

Originally, Ye Jingzhao wanted to bring Xiang Luo with him.

Thinking of Xiangruo in the house.

In the end, Xiang Luo was left to guard Xiang Ruo.

When leaving, she specially gave Xiangruo a beating.

This journey has been tiring.

Because when I went from Song County to Kyoto, I also wasted a lot of effort.

Now we set off to the border again.

Mrs. Ye San, Mrs. Xie, and her daughter did not experience any discomfort along the way.

He traveled during the day and stayed in an inn at night.

Along the way, Mu Yanzong did not move too fast.

I'm worried that the two of them won't get used to it.

Fortunately, three days later, the two of them still felt no discomfort.Only then did Master Mu speed up his pace.

Finally, on the sixth day, we arrived at the border crossing.

Mr. Zhao is seriously ill, and now the entire Zhao family has been moved to a courtyard in the city.

A servant came to report that Mr. Mu had arrived.

Mrs. Mu Zhao's eyes were filled with tears, and she left her father behind and went to the door to greet him personally.

Everyone in the Zhao family was ordered by Mrs. Mu Zhao to stay and take care of Mr. Zhao.

"Mrs. Ye San, I'm so sorry."

Mrs. Mu's wife, Mrs. Zhao, saw Ms. Xie, the third wife of Ye, coming over.

His face was full of apology, and he was about to kneel down as he spoke.

She was extremely grateful for such kindness.

Mrs. Ye San hurriedly helped Mrs. Mu Zhao up and said repeatedly, "Why are you so polite to me? We will all be a family in the future."

Ye Jingzhao saluted slowly.

Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Ye San thanked her again.

Then his eyes fell on Ye Jingzhao and nodded with satisfaction.

Finally, he looked at his son and saw that he looked haggard, with a few traces of the vicissitudes of life on his face.

"Zong'er, you have worked hard all the way."

Madam Mu Zhao extended her hand, and Mu Yanzong raised his hand to hold his mother's hand.He shook his head slightly, indicating that his mother didn't have to worry about him.

Only then did everyone go to see Mr. Zhao.

When Ye Jingzhao saw Mr. Zhao for the first time, he was extremely shocked.

Mr. Zhao, who was lying on the bed, now looked like a dead tree.

A pair of eyes were half-closed, dark and dull.

Although he was covered with a brocade quilt, others seemed to be able to see a pair of withered bones under the brocade quilt at a glance.

Mr. Zhao has gray hair.

Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Zhao, walked to the couch and slowly squatted down.

He whispered to Mr. Zhao, "Father, Zong'er and his fiancée are here to see you."

Mr. Zhao's lips trembled slightly on the bed, and he could only utter an unclear "Ah, ah"

Mu Yanzong walked to his mother and knelt down.

The third lady, Mrs. Xie, glanced at her daughter and motioned for her to come forward as well.

Ye Jingzhao and his mother gently nodded their eyes.

Then he walked to Mu Yanzong and knelt down.

Mu Yanzong turned around and saw Ye Jingzhao, and was slightly touched in his heart.

When he looked at his grandfather, there was still a bit of trembling in his voice, "Grandpa, Zong'er is here to see you."

"Grandpa Zhao, I am Ye Jingzhao."

Mr. Zhao's chaotic eyes opened after hearing the two voices.

It becomes clearer little by little.

I wanted to say something, but I still couldn't squeeze out a word.

He could only force out a smile weakly.

Mu Yanzong felt sad, turned away and quietly wiped away his tears.

Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Zhao, stayed by her father's side for many days.

Now her eyes are red again and she secretly wipes away tears.

Even Ye Jingzhao felt a touch of sadness in his heart under this moving atmosphere, and his tears rolled down uncontrollably.

As Mr. Zhao passed out again.

Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Zhao, then went to settle Mrs. Ye San, Mrs. Xie and her daughter.

He also ordered someone to bring hot water.

These days, Mrs. Ye San, mother and daughter Xie, were driving so fast that they did not have a good grooming session.

Now I can finally freshen up.

However, after washing up, the fatigue that had been suppressed before was instantly released.

Not even dinner.

I slept until the next day, and the sun rose three poles high.

Now Mr. Zhao's complexion is getting worse every day.

Ever since I saw my grandson and his wife.

Mr. Zhao held on for another three days.

Finally, he breathed his last completely.

The emperor's grace allowed Mr. Zhao to return to Beijing for burial.

However, everyone in the Zhao family is still not allowed to return to Beijing.

Therefore, the Zhao family discussed it and finally decided to bury Mr. Zhao at the border first.

After the Zhao family is rehabilitated in the future, Mr. Zhao will be moved back to Kyoto for burial.
