Chapter 904: Chapter 905: Husband, Will We Change?

Prime Minister Li just nodded his head in extreme relief and said nothing more.

...

Li Wuyu returned from the Prime Minister’s residence, and Wang Youbao also returned from the Ministry of Revenue. Without any surprises, Wang Youbao was to be appointed as an official next month, holding real power.

Upon seeing Wang Youbao return, Li Wuyu told him about the report they had submitted against Xiao Changyi.

Actually, Wang Youbao had already heard about the morning’s events at the Ministry of Revenue, so he was not surprised at all.

He simply said, ”Neither master nor father did anything wrong, yet they were reported. Morally and logically, we should apologize to them. Whether they hold a grudge against us or not is beyond our control. We just need to ensure that our conscience is clear.”

Li Wuyu felt that Wang Youbao was right and nodded, ”Let’s hurry and apologize to master and father before it gets dark.”

”Alright.”

...

As soon as Wang Youbao and Li Wuyu arrived, they apologized to An Jing.

An Jing could only laugh, ”Our family runs a rice shop, which really makes people overthink. Prime Minister Li did nothing wrong; he simply did what he had to do. There’s no need for you to apologize to us.”

Li Wuyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. ”Master, I really hope you and father continue just as you are now. The way you are now is good; I’m really afraid that you might change in the future...”

An Jing found it even more amusing. ”What, afraid that we might turn bad?”

Li Wuyu honestly nodded heavily, ”Yes!”

An Jing said, ”Who can say what the future holds? I won’t make any promises; it’s pointless and fake. You’ll just have to wait and see if we change.”

Because it was getting dark and it would be difficult to return home, Li Wuyu and Wang Youbao did not stay long and soon left.

As soon as Wang Youbao and Li Wuyu left, An Jing laughingly asked Xiao Changyi, ”Husband, will we change?”

Xiao Changyi responded indifferently, ”Whether people change or not, I don’t know, but I know that my heart for you will never change.”

An Jing was immediately sweetened by his words, and then she replied, ”My heart for you will also never change.”

”Mm.”

...

The first day of September.

While Gong Jue Chen was freeloading a meal at An Jing and Xiao Changyi’s, he asked them, ”Changyi, Jingjing, when will Zhuzhu be coming back? I haven’t seen him for over three months. There’s no one to bully me, and I really miss it.”

An Jing did not say that Meng Zhuqing would be back in just over two months; she simply ignored Gong Jue Chen.

Seeing that neither An Jing nor Xiao Changyi paid him any attention, Gong Jue Chen felt it was pointless and left after finishing his meal.

An Jing and Xiao Changyi did not go anywhere either; after eating, they took their four children and strolled near their home.

While An Jing was strolling near her home, eight miles away, Meng Zhuqing and Tobanya were riding back on horses. They had already found evidence in Beisheng that Tao Shangran framed the King of Beicheng for treason.

However, what Meng Zhuqing and Tobanya did not expect was that seven miles away from An Jing and Xiao Changyi, they were stopped by Tao Shangran’s men.

Concerned about his own head, Tao Shangran mobilized many people, and each was skilled.

As so many people fought with Meng Zhuqing and Tobanya, Meng Zhuqing knew that if they continued fighting, both he and Tobanya would be captured. Thus, he made a split-second decision, ”You go first!”

”What about you?” Tobanya refused to leave.
