Chapter 369: Chapter 282 I Want to See Him

Housekeeper Meng successfully sold the estate and was overjoyed!

When the estate was sold and he handed the silver note to Madam, Lady Meng still asked who bought the estate.

Fortunately, he was prepared and simply said it was the Li family who bought the estate, and as for which Li family, no one asked further; they just wanted to sell the estate.

Housekeeper Meng wiped the sweat from his brow, relieved to have completed the task smoothly.

Today, returning to the Capital, he would be reunited with his family.

Sitting in the carriage, Meng Zhaojun then remembered that on her birthday, she had forgotten to have Tang Shunyan unwrap the gift for her to see. During the shopping trip afterward, the delight of tricking the young boy made her forget again.

Thinking of this, she saw that they were about to leave the streets of the county, and the street facing them was where the Tang Family resided.

"Stop the carriage..., this Lady wants to get out."

"Lady, what is the matter?" Liang Chen, her personal maid, just like Mei Jing, couldn’t guess why the Lady would do this.

If it was about not wanting to part with a playmate, all farewells had been said except for the young Master of the Tang family; other girls and young masters had all brought gifts for the Lady.

Isn’t going to the Capital supposed to be a joyous occasion? Why then, from the Lady’s eyes, did he see intense reluctance and concern? How different it was from their thinking—to leave this small place for the bustling Capital should be a happy thought to hurry!

Her carriage driver, upon hearing the need to stop, reflexively halted the carriage.

Suddenly, the entire convoy came to a stop because the leading carriage in front stopped, and the rest had to follow suit.

Madam Meng was not sitting with her daughter; she was in a carriage with her husband. When the carriage stopped, they looked out the window to see why and saw that the whole convoy had also stopped.

The couple, quietly on the street, did not hear their daughter’s voice as they were some distance away, and the sounds of hooves and wheels drowned it out.

"Why has the driver stopped?"

The man driving the horses in front was actually their guard. Given the long journey and the considerable luggage from the whole family, they had specially hired a bodyguard for protection.

Their family’s luggage, including items purchased over the years, were all too precious to discard, especially for shopping lovers like Meng Zhaojun and Madam Meng, who also received gifts regularly, filling several carriages with baggage.

Hearing the Madam’s question from the front, the driver reported, "Madam, the Lady’s carriage has stopped, and it seems she wants to get out."

Having heard the driver, the married couple exchanged an agitated look, unable to think much at the moment. The County Magistrate quickly alighted to see for himself.

The County Magistrate was a scholar by nature, but years of officialdom had kept him physically active, and he moved swiftly. The dim light from lanterns on both sides of the shop cast a long shadow of him, his clothes fluttering in the breeze.

Ignoring her maid’s objection, Meng Zhaojun struggled to get out of the carriage, not caring whether the driver would take her to the next street. She wanted to turn a corner and enter the Tang Mansion through a side gate, thinking it must be dawn soon and the Tang family should have someone to open the gate.

Meng Zhaojun was so sure; the kitchen deliveries arrived at dawn every day, and they always used the side gate, not the main entrance.

She knew which side gate was closest to Tang Shunyan’s courtyard, and by entering through this gate, she could reach his courtyard.

She wanted to see the boy, wanted him to send her off, regardless of whether he was asleep or that her arrival at this time might wake others.

Moreover, she disregarded how their sneaking away would delay time and gather a crowd.

A departing official’s journey would attract many spectators, and her father, wary of trouble, had chosen to travel in the middle of the night.

This was also to expedite their arrival at the Capital City, not wanting to waste too much time on the road.

"Nonsense, hurry and get back in the carriage!"

A stern voice from her father arose, and Meng Zhaojun had anticipated her parents stopping her.

Turning her head with a pleading look toward her father:

"Father, I want to see Tang Shunyan."

Madam Meng also arrived, the cold wind of the early winter morning blowing away the warmth they had just had in the carriage. Her words also carried a chill:

"Get in the carriage. Liang Chen, Mei Jing, if you don’t quickly get your Lady onto the carriage, we’ll delay our time to the Capital City. I’ll sell you two."

Madam Meng’s threatening tone frightened the two maids beside Meng Zhaojun, genuinely afraid that the Madam would sell them. Each took an arm of the Lady, trying to lift her into the carriage.
