Chapter 2939: Chapter 2939: Matchmaking (2)
At the end of March, the Emperor graciously allowed the newly appointed Champion, second place, and third place scholars to return home to visit their families for two months. In other words, they only needed to return to Beijing by the end of May.
Yang Rufeng was particularly delighted about this.
The Yang Family was also happy.
But amidst the joy, Yang Ruxin felt an even stronger sense of unease.
At the end of April, news finally arrived from Beijing that the Saint Lord had disappeared.
He truly vanished, right from the heavily guarded Heavenly Prison, as if he evaporated into thin air.
Because of this, Emperor Xuanwen was furious and had already ordered a nationwide manhunt for the Saint Lord Gongben Xiang.
"Xinxin, I need to go to Beijing." Gu Qingheng looked at Yang Ruxin, "The Emperor has given the order for me to assist in capturing that Saint Lord."
"I will go with you." Yang Ruxin frowned, "I feel that the matter is not that simple." Besides this, there’s also the marriage proposal between Du Qing, Zhou Ying, and the Cui Family that needs to be addressed. Even without this incident, I would have gone to Beijing this year.
"Alright." Gu Qingheng naturally agreed.
Yang Ruxin gave instructions regarding the family matters and then called together the two mothers: "Mother, you’ve had a difficult life. We are all grown up now, and in the future, we’ll each have our own lives. You two are not old yet, and you too should have your own lives. This way, even if we go out, we’ll know you are well taken care of."
"Xinxin, what do you mean by this?" Feng Zilan frowned, looking at Yang Ruxin somewhat fearfully.
"What I mean is, Uncle Kuan likes you, and you don’t dislike him, so the two of you can get along together for a lifetime."
"This..." Feng Zilan’s face turned red instantly, "I didn’t..."
"Old Kuan is a nice person. If you marry him, we’d be at ease." Dong Wenxiu also nodded; she now feels open-minded about a widow remarrying.
"Mother, don’t just talk about others, what about you?" Yang Ruxin looked at Dong Wenxiu, "General Zhou is also a good man. Since he’s already our in-law, if you two get together, it’d be like a closer kinship."
"You little girl, how dare you bring me up in this? I’m not young anymore. Besides, I don’t plan to remarry, I just..."
"You two mothers, I don’t have time to listen to your insincere words. Qingheng and I are about to set off. During this period, you should think carefully. Life is short and passes in the blink of an eye. Is it better to be lonely for a lifetime or to pursue happiness? When I return, give me your answers so I can arrange it." After saying this, Yang Ruxin got up and left.
Dong Wenxiu and Feng Zilan both blushed deeply, glanced at each other, and felt a bit embarrassed.
"What do you say, should we think about it?" Feng Zilan tentatively spoke.
"Think about it." Dong Wenxiu bit her lip and finally nodded, "This child, really..."
"She’s doing it for our good."
"I know, I just feel... embarrassed."
Feng Zilan also touched her neck, chuckling awkwardly.
"Mother, we’re leaving." A shout came from outside.
Dong Wenxiu and Feng Zilan hurriedly got up and rushed outside. But by the time they reached the door, the group heading to Beijing had already mounted their horses and could only wave their hands, reminding them to stay safe.
Everyone traveled light and reached the capital in ten days.
It seemed Qi Jingyun had been waiting for them all along, so just as they entered the General Residence, the Prince followed shortly after.
"You certainly get information quickly." Gu Qingheng cast a glance at Qi Jingyun, "Can’t you let us rest for a day?"
