Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 384 Entering Beijing

Fang Zhong quickly smiled and said, "After all, Miss is the master, so naturally she has the final say."

Yunyi glanced at Granny Lou: "A-Lu, get in the carriage."

"Okay." Yunlu got into the carriage and then lowered the curtain.

Now that it's May and the weather is getting hotter, the curtains on this car are made of breathable gauze, so it's not stuffy inside.

Fang Zhong drove the car himself and was the first to leave the dock.

Su Mu glanced at Granny Lou, then rode away on horseback with the other guards, following the carriage Yun Yi was riding in.

Granny Lou watched the departing carriage, her face terribly gloomy, but there was nothing she could do but get on the carriage and leave as well.

Meanwhile, the people on the other boats also disembarked one after another, and a huge horse-drawn carriage picked up the pregnant women and left.

The dock was outside the capital, about four or five miles away, but the road was in good condition, all flat stone slabs, so the journey was not slow, and it took about half an hour to reach the city gate.

Because the carriage had markings and Fang Zhongsu was a familiar face, the soldiers guarding the city gate simply gave a perfunctory greeting and let them pass.

Yun leaned against the carriage wall, looking at the bustling streets outside. A smile played on her lips. She was finally back. Before, she had grown up wildly outside, but now that she was in the capital... she had to deal with both palace intrigue and domestic power struggles.

Just then, a group of people walked towards them, led by a man in white.

Although the gauze curtain wasn't very transparent, she recognized him at a glance. The man was none other than the man the original owner had been longing for day and night, or rather, the man many women in the capital had been longing for day and night—the Third Prince, Zhou Jingxuan.

"Steward Fang," Zhou Jingxuan stopped the carriage, "did you just get back? Is it Yunyi who's back?"

"Greetings, Third Prince." Fang Zhong hurriedly reined in the carriage, got out, and bowed. "It is indeed the eldest young lady who has been found."

Yunyi looked at the white-clad man outside, raised her hand to cover her chest, where a strange, bittersweet feeling arose. However, it wasn't hers, but rather the last remaining emotion of the original owner of the body—the little girl who had wholeheartedly loved this man.

This emotion comes and goes quickly.

After all, the original owner of this body had already been reincarnated ahead of time under Yunyi's special care, and had gone to another time and space. If the birth went smoothly, today would be exactly one month old.

“Yunyi, it’s so good to hear you’re back.” Zhou Jingxuan’s voice was filled with joy as he looked at Yunyi’s face through the carriage curtain. “Back then…” He suddenly realized that now was not the time to reminisce, and quickly stopped. “You go back and rest first. I’ll come to see you another day.”

Yunyi knew it would be impolite not to speak at this moment, after all, the other party was a member of the royal family: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Fang Zhong also got up and boarded the carriage.

Zhou Jingxuan stepped aside and watched the carriage leave, but his brows were furrowed. In the past, Fang Yunyi would always stick to him as soon as she saw him and call him "Third Prince Brother". But now, not only did she not get off the carriage, she called him Third Prince.

"Green pine".

A guard following behind took two steps forward.

"Go and find out what that Miss Fang has been through."

Qingsong responded and then turned and left.

Zhou Jingxuan hesitated for a moment, then stopped wandering around and returned to the Prince's residence, going to the storeroom himself.

Yunyi's carriage had already left Chang'an Avenue and was heading towards Ruyi Lane.

The Marquis of Chengen was a nobleman, and his residence was located in Ruyi Lane in the eastern part of the city.

Yunyi suddenly lifted the curtain and looked outside. The words "Qingfeng Teahouse" reminded her of the man she had met before. He had given her a bloodstained cloth bag and a jade pendant, giving her the opportunity to deliver them to Qingfeng Teahouse in the capital. If she hadn't seen this, she would have forgotten about it.

"Butler Fang."

"Young Miss, we'll be there soon."

"I just want to ask, how come I remember this place wasn't called Qingfeng Teahouse before?" Yunyi searched the original owner's memories but didn't have any recollection of this place.

Actually, it's not the original owner's fault. She was so obsessed with the Third Prince that even when she went out, she mostly visited clothing and jewelry shops, and the rest were basically places that she neither liked nor cared about.

Fang Zhong couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the two-story building not far away: "This used to be a teahouse, but the young lady rarely lingered here, so she probably doesn't remember."

"Is the tea and snacks good at this teahouse?"

"I don't know, this old servant has never been here."

"If you have the chance, I'll invite you over to try it."

"Then thank you very much, Miss."

……

Soon, the carriage turned a corner, and a stone archway appeared ahead, with the three characters "Ruyi Archway" engraved on it.

After passing through the archway, walk to the second intersection and turn in, and you will see a vermilion gate with the four characters "Cheng'en Earl's Mansion" written on it.

When the carriage stopped, the gatekeeper hurriedly came down to greet him: "Steward Fang, you're finally back."

"Hmm." Fang Zhong got off the carriage and then personally placed the footstool down. "Miss, we've arrived."

Su Mu and the others had also dismounted.

Yunlu got out of the car first and then opened the curtain.

Yunyi got out of the car carrying the little fox and glanced at everyone.

Since she had only been gone for a year, not many servants had changed in the mansion, and Yunyi's appearance hadn't changed much either; she had just become more beautiful. So, everyone recognized her.

However, ever since Qi Miao'er died and Sun Qingli was promoted to the position of official wife, people have not shown much respect to this young lady. As a result, now that she has returned, not a single servant in the gatehouse has bowed to her.

They didn't even open the main gate to greet us; only the side gate was open, and the meaning was self-evident.

Yunyi wasn't in a hurry. She just stood there stroking the little fox's head gently, without saying a word or going inside.

"Miss, we're home. Let's go inside," Fang Zhong reminded her.

“Steward Fang,” Yunyi looked at Fang Zhong, “I, the young lady, am standing here, yet those servants act as if they don’t see me. And now that I’m back, shouldn’t the gate be open? But it’s still closed. Is this the rule of the Earl’s mansion… Is it because my father doesn’t welcome me back?”

Fang Zhong's face stiffened for a moment, then he quickly gave an awkward smile: "How could that be? It's these servants who have no manners." Then he glared at the gatekeeper.

Those people were in a bad mood, but they didn't dare to do anything rash, so they hurriedly knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

Someone opened the main gate as well.

Yunyi then stepped inside.

Sun Qingli didn't want to come after receiving the news, but she also knew that she couldn't give Yun Yi any reason to complain. So, just as Yun Yi was about to reach the second gate, she hurriedly led a group of people out to greet her.
