Chapter 714: Going Back
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The two of them successfully left the manor. Old man Wang even looked back from time to time.
Even when Old Madam Wang skillfully instructed an old servant to prepare the carriage and jumped onto it, shouting out at a Crimson Guards who was hiding was driving the carriage, Old Madam Wang did not look back.
Old man Wang was still pulling at the curtain of the carriage to turn around to look.
“Since you’re so reluctant, how about you stay here?” Old Madam Wang’s eyes were clearly closed and she was facing Old man Wang, but she directly exposed him.
“…Old woman, your entire family is weird.” Old man Wang pretended not to see Old Madam Wang’s frown and said, “The old servant at the door seemed to have recognized you just now. His eyes were so red that he almost cried on the spot for you to see. You didn’t intend to hide your identity in the first place. Why didn’t you just acknowledge him properly? It’s better than letting brood over it himself.”
After returning to Wanning City, they had actually also woven a network of connections. They were all left behind in the early years, and most of them were useless. Fortunately, Wang Zhuo still had a conscience and didn’t forget the two of them. However, they were already middle-aged and weren’t still as clingy as when they were young.
With Wang Zhuo’s mediation, the advancement was faster than expected. However, there was still a long way to go before the Wang Family could truly have a backing in the future.
His wife had great ambitions. She wanted to completely detach herself from all the benefits of her identity as Princess Yong Chang. She wanted to really use her own strength to allow their identity as the Wang Family to firmly stand in Great Chang without being affected by suffering, war, or even the change of dynasties.
This was definitely not something that could be completed in a day. In fact, it was definitely not something that the couple could complete with their strength.
“I’m afraid we met today because of a sudden incident, not because they want to acknowledge me.” Old Madam Wang was very calm. There was no joy on her face at all.
She knew who she was to begin with. She had never been tainted by the glory of her previous identity in decades. Naturally, she was not excited to see them now.
“I think so too.” Old man Wang looked at his wife, wanting to see other emotions on her face. Clearly, it was useless. “Are you still blaming them?”
Duke An Manor had been looking for her, and there was also another group of forces from the royal family looking for her. Both sides had searched for her with great fanfare in the past few years. Otherwise, with Great Chang gradually becoming peaceful over the years, and Duke An Manor still retaining their power, how could they not find her?
Old Madam Wang shook her head. “What’s there to complain about? There are many dirty people in those noble families.”
Moreover, she never resented Duke An Manor for not finding her in time. She took the initiative to leave Duke An Manor, so she could not blame anyone else.
If one really had to talk about it, she should really be blamed by her beloved youngest daughter for losing her once. But Ai Bao had never shown any dissatisfaction with her. A few years ago, she had only missed her child, Zao’er. In the past few years, she had even stopped mentioning him and focused on running her small grocery store contentedly.
Old Madam Wang knew that Ai Bao had already met Zao’er in Duke An Manor. However, Zao’er did not know her identity and only thought that she was a kind owner of a provision store. He would go to the provision store from time to time.
When Ai Bao found out, she had probably vaguely guessed something, but she had never asked her. She must have thought it through.
“Let’s go back. There’s no need to care about anything else,” Old Madam Wang said. “Ah Yu and the others are in Wanning City. I don’t know how they’re doing. I’m afraid that if we go back later, they’ll think too much.”
Seeing that Old Madam Wang didn’t want to talk about it, Old man Wang didn’t continue. He found a thin blanket and covered Old Madam Wang with it before closing his eyes to rest..
