Chapter 24 The Final Stretch

  "You are all good children of the Lai family, you must have a sense of proportion when doing things, and don't mention divorce. If it really doesn't work out, then wait two years before getting divorced."

  The empress dowager spoke with genuine concern, after all, she was also worried that her opposition would be too obvious, offending Zhu Yunyan's dignity. If they made a fuss to the emperor and got the support of Ding Guo Hou, it would be too embarrassing for her as the empress dowager.

  "Yun Yan has taken note."

  Zhu Yunyan hung his head, his tone filled with deep remorse. If Shen Youxia hadn't known Zhu Yunyan so well, he would have really thought that the empress dowager's words had awakened him to his senses.

  Zhu Yunyan and Shen Youxia left the palace, Shen Youxia took her maid and walked in another direction.

  "Aren't you going back to Rui Wang's residence?"

  Zhu Yunyan grabbed Shen Youxia's arm and asked solemnly.

  "What's the point of going back? To see your sour face? I'll stay at Dingguo Houfu for two more days."

  Shaking off Zhu Yunyan's hand, Shen Youxia waved her hand and didn't even glance at Zhu Yunyan before walking away.

  Zhu Yunyan's whole body was cold and chilly, making the people around her feel a chill run down their spines. This aura didn't change until she returned to Rui Wangfu.

  Shen Youxiang didn't have the mood or time to care about Zhu Yunyan's emotions, now she didn't want to know anything about him, and wasn't interested in any of it.

  Her short life was all about Zhu Yunyan, and the final outcome was so tragic. So in this lifetime of hers, she didn't want to have anything to do with Zhu Yunyan again, nor could she ever have anything to do with him.

  With a relaxed and pleasant mood, she entered the Dingguo Hou Mansion, but Shen Youxia had just taken a few steps when she saw Dingguo Hou Shen Jing hurrying out.

  "Grandfather, where are you in such a hurry to go?"

  Seeing Shen Jing's anxiety, Shen You Xia pulled his arm and asked with concern.

  It turned out that Shen Jing had just received a message from a brother who fought with him in the past, and learned that he was dying soon. He decided to go to Duan Cheng to accompany him through the last part of his life, but didn't know if he could still make it on time.

  Shen Youxi's heart was startled, Duan Cheng?

  Duanccheng is about ten days journey from Xizhou City

  It was about this time last year that my grandfather also went to Duan Cheng to visit old friends, but on the way back he encountered robbers and got injured. Although his life was not in danger, his body was never as good as before, and it can be said that things have been getting worse and worse.

  Later on, she was put in a big prison. Her grandfather was so angry that he didn't catch his breath and passed away.

  Although she may never go back to prison in this life, she also can't bear to see her grandfather get hurt.

  "Grandfather, are we going now?" Shen Youxia asked anxiously.

  "Yes, the carriage is ready, let's set off immediately. Now I'm afraid that if I delay any further, I might not make it in time." Shen Jing said this with a hint of sadness.

  "Grandpa, I'll go with you." Shen Youxia linked her arm with Shen Jing's, "Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, go collect things, and then follow up afterwards."

  Although Shen Youxia was married, the Dingguo Hou Mansion still retained her boudoir, and all her belongings were also complete here. It was easy to pack up for Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice.

  "What's wrong with you, kid? Where are you going with me?"

  "I'm worried about you, I'll go with you."

  "Go, go, go! I really don't know what to do with you!" Shen Jing said somewhat helplessly. "Go and inform the Rui Wang Fu, Xia'er is going with me to Duan Cheng for a few days."

  "No need, who in Rui Wang Fu dares to control where I go?"

  Shen Youxia stopped someone who wanted to inform others, thinking that it was unnecessary for him to crash into Zhu Yunyan at this time. Besides, he would be delighted if he couldn't see himself.
