Du Jinning said that he wanted to go back to Guizhou Province, but he had to wait until after planting the seedlings to see the seedlings slowly green, and the weather was a little cooler before he could go on the road. It took more than half a month for her to make the trip.

There was no need for her to speak to Qi Muyuan at all, Zhao Yu directly sent Qi Muyuan to accompany her, and in addition to that, he also sent fifty imperial guards.

"Do you have to go back?" Chen asked with a look of disapproval.

In his hometown, although Du Chensheng passed away, Mrs. Du Niu is still there; Du Yunnian's family will not talk about it, and Du Yunyi's family are all people who forget their righteousness.

These people can't see Du Jinning's wealth now, and because of the long distance, they didn't come up like a bloodsucker. When Du Jinning returned to her hometown, she was worried that she would never be able to get rid of these group troubles.

"Mother, in the past, when we went far away, we had to open the way, and we could imprison them in Gui Province. Now that the wayfinding is canceled, they can move around as they please. Think about it, will they come to the capital to find us? Du Jinning asked.

Chen was stunned.

She hadn't really thought about it.

"If they come to the door, we have to receive them, otherwise it will be known all over the city. Someone originally wanted to see my jokes, and such a fuss would not only lose the face of the Du family, but also the face of the royal family. Du Jinning said again.

Chen's face was not good-looking, and he scolded hatefully: "This group of dog things." ”

"I've been blocking news from there, they don't know that I have been restored to my status as a woman, and I have been named the eldest princess, and they think that I have been an official in Runzhou. I'll go back and make it clear to them this time. When they know that I am a woman and I am married, I will not have the idea of going to Beijing to live a good life with us. ”

Chen nodded: "It's thoughtful." ”

"So are you going or not?" Du Jinning asked.

"Go." Chen agreed very simply this time.

Du Yuncheng's grave is still in Taohua Village, Lishui County, Guizhou Province, Chen has a deep relationship with her husband, and she has not been able to go to her husband's grave for many years to tell him about the situation of her daughters.

It's just that she understands very well that the dead have passed away, and the living are the most important. She has to put Du Jinning first. Given the choice between going back to her husband's grave and not causing trouble for her daughter, she would definitely choose the latter.

Now that she knows that trouble can't be avoided, she has to take the initiative to solve it, so she naturally refuses to let her daughter go back alone to face that group of best.

"Then you pack your things, and we'll leave the day after tomorrow."

In these days, there is no rubber, there is no suitable steel for shock absorption, and it is a very sour thing to travel by land in a horse-drawn carriage. With Chen's company, Du Jinning still chose to take a section of land first, then take a boat south, and then take a section of land travel after going ashore.

After working the road for almost a month, the group finally arrived in Gui Province.

"Madame, princess, the house is all cleaned up." Shen Ming, who arrived in Gui Province two days in advance, greeted them outside the city gate.

Shen Ming is the grandson of the old man Shen who was the gatekeeper of the Qi family's house. Old man Shen and his son were still watching the house in Gui Province, but his grandson Shen Ming followed Qi Muyuan to the capital on an errand. Now that Shen Ming is a housekeeper in the princess's mansion, this time he naturally came back to visit his grandparents and parents together.

"But did you alarm my uncle and old lady?" Du Jinning asked.

Their house in Hulu Lane was sold to Liang Xiankuan not long after Du Jinning was admitted to the Jinshi. They no longer planned to come back to live, and the Liang family needed to use that garden as a display model, so they hit it off and made a deal.

Du Jinning and the others came back to prepare to live in the Qi family's house. The big family pays attention to the foundation, and the Qi family is an ancestral house, and it is not intended to be sold, even if it is not lived, it has always been kept.

Shen Ming shook his head: "Princess, the old lady seems to be very bad. The villain asked the villain's grandfather not to tell them, and then make a decision when you arrived. ”

Du Jinning's heart sank.

Although she hasn't come back in the past few years, she hasn't cut off contact with Du Yinsheng. Every year during the Chinese New Year, Du Yinsheng will be given a New Year's gift, and occasionally there will be correspondence.

However, she also knew that Du Yinsheng was old, and the fourth uncle's health was not good, so he always reported good news and not bad news. When she disappeared for more than a year, she wrote a letter when she went to Runzhou, saying that she wanted to bury herself in research on high-yield rice, and she might not be able to contact her often, so she gave Du Yinsheng a preventive shot. That year's New Year's gift was sent by Qi Muyuan in her name, and there was no mention of her disappearance.

Du Yinsheng's health is getting worse and worse year by year, she knows it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made a trip back to my hometown at this juncture.

"You scattered into the city, and when you got to the city, some people found a place to live on their own, and the other ten people lived in Qi Mansion without alarming the neighbors." Du Jinning instructed Zhong Ruigen, the captain of the imperial guard team.

"Yes, Princess." After getting along for nearly a month, Zhong Ruigen also knew the low-key nature of the eldest princess of Ning Guo.

Along the way, as Du Jinning, he can make the officials along the way kneel and greet him. But Du Jinning only regarded himself as an ordinary businessman, passing by quietly, without alarming anyone, and staying in hotels and inns along the way, not even going to the post station.

After giving the order, Du Jinning ignored the guards, and directly entered the city by carriage, went straight to Hulu Lane, and entered the Qi Mansion.

"Mother, are you tired? If you're not tired, wash up and let's go to my uncle's house. Du Jinning asked Chen.

"It's okay, it's not too tired." Chan said.

Everyone washed separately, and after a cup of tea, they went to Du Yinsheng's house together.

Before going out, Du Jinning told Aoki and Guanqi, who were accompanying him: "Don't call me a princess, just call me a young master." ”

She looked at Chen again: "Mother, if my uncle and grandfather are really bad, I am a woman's business, don't tell him." As she spoke, she looked at Qi Muyuan again.

Qi Muyuan nodded: "Don't worry, we understand." ”

Du Yinsheng has also met him a few times, and he knows that this old man of the Du family is bent on making the descendants of the Du family get ahead. Du Jinning was admitted to the Jinshi and became an official, and suppressed Du Zheyan's branch from the provincial capital, which made Du Yinsheng feel worthy of his deceased father. Du Jinning is his pride.

Now when he is dying, tell him that Du Jinning is a woman, even if Du Jinning becomes the eldest princess, it will be a big blow to Du Yinsheng.

Instead of letting the old man leave regrets before he died, it is better to let him die with that pride and pride. Otherwise, it's too cruel.

It's early autumn evening, and the sun is still bright.

Du Jinning personally knocked on the door of the Du family.

"Who? Here it comes. A young man's voice came from inside, and the door opened with a "bang", revealing a head.

Finding that it was a stranger, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Brother Fu, it's me. I am your fourth brother Du Jinning. Du Jinning said.

Although the boy has grown up, he still has a bit of the appearance of a child.

Du Jinfu's eyes widened.
