872 Returning to the Dong Mansion

It would be even more wonderful if Xianxiu and Zhener were holding a fat baby.

Dong Cheng took a sip of soup while daydreaming.

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't say anything anymore.

So the flower hall fell into a moment of silence.

Then, at some point in time.

Dong Cheng, Zhu Xiuyuan, and Dong Shuzhen, all three of them happened to look at Dong Shuyu on the side of the dining table at the same time.

The meaning is obvious.

Dong Shuyu was illuminated by three gazes at the same time, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

She has been trying her best to reduce her sense of existence during this period.

The purpose... is to avoid Zhu Xiuyuan.

Now that she was hit by three lines of sight at the same time, she felt a little panicked.

Fortunately, Dong Shuyu was not an ordinary woman. She calmed down in an instant, faced the gazes of the three people, turned her head slightly, and scanned the three of them one by one.

"Dad, Mr. Hou, Zhen'er, you..."

"Yu'er, you should also go back to Jiangzhou with Xianxiu and the others." Dong Cheng said.

"Yes, sister, let's take a boat back together and enjoy the scenery along the way..." Dong Shuzhen said.

Zhu Xiuyuan said nothing, but looked at her with burning eyes.

Staring at Dong Shuyu made her feel a little uncomfortable again.

"Dad, Lord Marquis, Zhen'er, I...it's better not to use it. Business in the capital is so busy. Over there at Wuyi Square..."

"Business matters can be put aside for now." Dong Cheng looked a little serious, "Yu'er, when you return to Jiangzhou this time, in addition to relaxing, you can also help repair the Dong Mansion."

Dong Shuyu was a little dazed and looked at Dong Cheng silently.

The water in his eyes flickered, as if he felt aggrieved, and also felt like he didn't dare to disobey his father's orders.

"Dong's Mansion is, after all, the ancestral home of my Dong family. Although we no longer live in Dong's Mansion, we must not lose our popularity. Yu'er, when you return to Jiangzhou this time, in addition to repairing the ancestral home, you can also sort out the things in the house.

Servants, please don’t let them act recklessly, lest they pollute the ancestral home of my Dong family!”

Dong Cheng was calm and relaxed, and there was an unquestionable feeling in his tone.

"It's daddy, my daughter understands!" Dong Shuyu responded immediately.

Although she had some grievances, she hid them deeply and did not dare to express them openly.

Furthermore, her powerful rationality told her that what Dong Cheng said was not unreasonable.

But...when I return to Jiangzhou this time, I wonder if Zhu Xiuyuan will take advantage of him...

Soon after the meal was over, everyone dispersed.

Dong Shuzhen took Zhu Xiuyuan back to the inner courtyard of the main house, took two maids, Qiu Wen and Xia Wu, and started packing her luggage happily.

After Dong Shuyu returned to her elegant courtyard, she sat in the study for a while, sighed slightly, and told Chun Xue and Dong Mei to prepare their bags.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the second day.

Early in the morning.

Everyone is ready.

Dong Cheng went to the Runzhou Mansion Yamen early to sit on duty.

Zhu Xiuyuan and the others rested for a while after breakfast, and then at Dong Shuzhen's impatient urging, they set off. A long motorcade passed through the city and headed for the Yangtze River Wharf in the north of the city.

As the leader of the generals, Yan Dashan naturally wanted to go with him.

In addition, there will be five to six hundred men with silver helmets and silver armor accompanying them.

Their motorcade was walking on the street, very impressive and dazzling.

Half an hour later.

Zhu Xiuyuan and the Dong sisters were already on a large sailboat heading towards Jiangzhou.

Today the wind is nice and sunny, the sky is clear, and the river is very flat.

The big ship was slow and moving very slowly.

On the deck, Zhu Xiuyuan and the Dong sisters were sitting together, drinking tea, talking and laughing, and admiring the views of the river on both sides of the river. They were enjoying themselves.

Dong Shuzhen, in particular, was the most active. She excitedly told Dong Shuyu about her last trip to Shu, the scenery along the way, and the mountains in Shu...

Fortunately, in order to get pregnant as soon as possible, Dong Shuzhen really restrained herself a lot and stopped jumping up and down in surprise, which saved people a lot of worry.

At dusk in the evening, they arrived in Jiangzhou.

The current governor of Jiangzhou had already known about the news that Shen Leihou was about to come to Jiangzhou, and personally led all the officials from the Yamen to the dock to welcome him.

Zhu Xiuyuan got off the ship, exchanged pleasantries with the governor of Jiangzhou, and then declined the governor's reception banquet and all invitations.

He took Dong Shuzhen and the others and rushed directly to the Dong Mansion.

On the way, in the carriage, Dong Shuzhen finally calmed down, perhaps because she was timid about being close to home, and sat silently next to Zhu Xiuyuan.

"What's wrong?"

"Husband, we will be arriving soon. In my heart..."

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled and comforted her.

Soon, the carriage stopped, everyone got out of the car and looked towards the street gate of Dong Mansion——

Compared to the Shenleihou Mansion in the capital, the Dong Mansion seems much shabby.

But everyone felt more cordial.

This is a familiar place.

"We're back!"

Dong Shuyu stood by the side of the carriage, looking up at the plaque of Dong Mansion, feeling filled with emotion.

"It doesn't seem to have changed at all!"

Dong Shuzhen went on to say that unlike Dong Shuyu who was full of emotions, what came to her mind was "sneaking out of the house" and all kinds of interesting things that happened in the house.

Thinking about this, Dong Shuzhen narrowed her eyes.

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't speak. He stared blankly at the door of Dong's Mansion, falling into some memories in his heart.

At this time, the steward guarding Dong's Mansion came up respectfully...

Everyone stepped into the gate of Dong Mansion.

Although they were all very familiar with the scenery in the mansion, they still kept turning their heads and looking around, which was familiar yet novel.

Although everyone's mood was slightly sad, it actually became very good at this time. Even Dong Shuyu couldn't help but reveal a subtle smile.

Because it was already getting late, no one went around much.

After having dinner in the back hall of the west courtyard of the mansion, we prepared to go back to our rooms to rest.

Their yard is cleaned every day and you can move in at any time.

There is a long corridor leading from the back hall of the west courtyard to the east courtyard. Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen were walking slowly towards the east courtyard, with Qiu Wen and Xia Wu following behind.

The sky is clear tonight, full of stars, and the moon is a crescent, but very bright.

The corridor was filled with lanterns, illuminating the entire corridor.

Dong Shuzhen was very happy, with a smile on her face. She was originally walking side by side with Zhu Xiuyuan, but soon, she suddenly quickened her pace and walked to a place ten feet away in front of Zhu Xiuyuan. Then she stopped, turned around and waved: "Husband, hurry up!

"

"Slow down."

"Hahahaha..." Dong Shuzhen suddenly laughed while holding on to the pillar of the corridor.

"Madam, why are you laughing?"

"Husband... what my husband looked like just now... hahaha..."

"What happened to my husband?"

"My husband just looked like my father."

Zhu Xiuyuan's face turned slightly darker.

Qiu Wen and Xia Wu, who were following behind, each carried a large lantern to illuminate them more brightly.
