Yaoji lived in Glass City. After careful consideration, she finally asked Princess Ding to find a good family for the child. When she was in Marquis Muyang's Mansion, she would rather die than give up the child, because she knew that the child would not have a good life if left alone in Marquis Muyang's Mansion. No matter how much Mu Yang loved the child, there would be times when he did not take good care of the child. One negligence was enough to kill the child.
Now that she had settled down, Yaoji had more time to think about it. It was not good for the child to follow Mu Yang, but it was not necessarily a good thing to have a mother like her. Moreover, it was not difficult for her to raise a child alone, but it was not so easy to make a good relationship with a child and let a boy grow up happily. Boys … would always need a father. Moreover, Yaoji always had a hunch that the matter of Marquis Muyang's Mansion … was not over yet.
Princess Ding did find a good family for the child, a couple over forty without children. They came from a scholarly family. Although they were not rich, they had some assets. Yaoji secretly went to see them several times. The couple really treated the child as their own.
Seeing her son growing up in a healthy and comfortable family, Yaoji smiled faintly. But in her heart, she was really happy and calm.
Three months later, Yaoji opened a restaurant in the city. The money to open the restaurant was borrowed from Princess Ding. In the end, Princess Ding only gave her half of the money, and the remaining half was the shares of Prince Ding Mansion. Yaoji had no objection to this. Not to mention that she could not repay the kindness of Prince Ding Mansion in this life. She opened a restaurant in the territory of Prince Ding Mansion. What could be more stable than the Prince Ding Mansion itself?
Yaoji had several years of experience in running Qingcheng Lane. Although opening a restaurant was completely different from opening a musical house, at least it proved that Yaoji could handle the situation in dealing with people and receiving guests. As expected, it did not take long for the restaurant to gain a foothold in the city. Gradually, Yaoji did not need to show up in public and really retired behind the scenes.
Yaoji did not know how she became familiar with Qin Feng. He only remembered that when the restaurant had just opened, Qin Feng often came back to support it. He didn't do anything. He just ordered a pot of wine and two side dishes. Sometimes, he would sit there for two to four hours. Because of his presence, even though she was an outsider who had just opened a new restaurant, many of the city's hedonistic sons and their peers did not dare to cause trouble in the restaurant. After all, everyone in Ruyang City knew that Qin Feng was Princess Ding's personal guard.
After a long time, the two of them would naturally chat for a while, and naturally became more familiar with each other. By the time Yaoji realized what was going on, Qin Feng threw the purple jade hairpin into her hand with a cold expression, pretending to be indifferent but not allowing her to refuse. She immediately panicked. Then, almost without hesitation, she asked Princess Ding to go to the capital to assist Leng Haoyu. After a long time, when she had calmed down, she suddenly realized that at that time, she actually felt that facing Qin Feng was even more difficult than facing Mu Yang again, and that she might even end up fighting with him. That was why she chose to escape to the capital.
Princess Ding did not agree to her request at that time, and Qin Feng came to her door that night. Yaoji was not surprised by Qin Feng's arrival. With Qin Feng's status in the Prince Ding Mansion and Princess Ding's trust in him, it was impossible for him not to know this kind of thing.
"If it's because of me that makes you embarrassed, then … I can take it back." Looking at the woman in light purple in front of him, Qin Feng said in a deep voice. His calm eyes fell on the purple in Yaoji's hair bun.
Yaoji was stunned and shook her head lightly, "No … not all." She was not lying, at least in her heart at that moment. Yaoji was very clear that Prince Ding and Princess Ding were different. Princess Ding herself might not agree with her going to the capital, but Prince Ding must let her go. In the past few years, she had several contacts with Prince Ding. As a woman, she could only envy Prince Ding's feelings for the princess. But Prince Ding's means to those who had hurt Princess Ding or intended to hurt her were chilling. Yaoji also knew … that when Princess Ding almost fell off the cliff and died, the person who led the army at that time was Marquis Muyang. Every time she saw Prince Ding's thoughtful look, Yaoji knew that Prince Ding did not forget this matter.
Although Prince Ding did not say it himself, Yaoji had already understood what he meant. If she wanted to live peacefully and leisurely, she must deal with Marquis Muyang's Mansion by herself. She could not deal with it more neatly than others, but she and her child could obviously make Marquis Muyang's Mansion and Muyang suffer more.
Yaoji was not a kind person. She did not feel unwilling or angry about this, just like she would not feel guilty or sad even if Marquis Muyang's Mansion was destroyed because of her. This world … was a survival of the fittest. When she was no match for Young Madame Mu, she could only lie in the courtyard with her child and wait for Muyang to save her or wait for death. When Princess Ding did not have enough troops, she could only gamble with her life by jumping off the cliff. Therefore, when Marquis Muyang's Mansion provoked Prince Ding and was unable to fight back, only destruction awaited them. She wanted to give her child a peaceful life. What did other people's lives have to do with her?
Qin Feng was silent and did not persuade her anymore. He just said, "Come back alive. Don't forget … you have a child. I … will wait for you. " Seeing that Yaoji wanted to say something, Qin Feng calmly added, "I will wait for you to come back before making a decision."
Yaoji shook her head and gritted her teeth, "I know you are very good to me … I don't know how many years I will be gone. You are not young anymore, you should have … "Qin Feng looked out of the window and said lightly," It's your business how to decide. It's my business whether to wait or not. The princess ordered me to escort you to the capital. You should rest early. We will leave tomorrow morning. "After that, Qin Feng did not give Yaoji a chance to refuse. He turned and walked out of the door.
Looking at the straight back of the person who had walked out of the door, Yaoji smiled bitterly in her heart: Yaoji, you really … should have just refused him directly …
In the blink of an eye, several years had passed. Emperor Chu Mo Jingqi, who had spent his life trying to suppress the Prince Ding Mansion, had passed away. The Northern Tribes and the Northern Territory invaded. The Da Chu State, which had lost the Prince Ding Mansion, was powerless to resist and went south to Jiangnan. The Prince Ding Mansion protected the country and the Southern Chu Regent Mo Jingli joined forces with the Northern Tribes and Xiling to deal with the Prince Ding Mansion. And the Marquis Muyang's Mansion … was also finished.
When she saw Mu Yang reluctantly close his eyes in front of her, Yaoji did not feel any joy or satisfaction from revenge. She did not even feel any sorrow. Her heart was only silent and desolate. The war was still going on. Yaoji returned to Glass City with a desolate state of mind and her adopted son, Qin Lie, who had accompanied her for several years. She still lived the same peaceful life as before. She only occasionally secretly went to see her son who had already entered a private school. Only then did she feel a faint sense of comfort.
Although she did not pay attention to worldly affairs, Yaoji still heard about the war on the front line from time to time. Every day, Yaoji sat at the table in the wing room that Qin Feng usually sat at in the restaurant. She listened to the people who walked by and talked loudly.
