After being divorced for three years, the bad husband brought his son to ask for forgiveness

Chapter 34: Departure to the Capital
The affairs of the Li and Yan families may seem like a mess, but in fact there are not too many problems. At least the two families are heading in the same direction, and there is also unbreakable family ties, so Yan Chaonian is not worried.

As the family grows, there are more people, and it is very difficult to expect everyone to be united.

"Mr. Jiang, how are you?"

Jiang Wencheng waited day and night and finally, Lord Wen Zhenwen came back ahead of schedule.

Jiang Wencheng and his entourage heaved a sigh of relief. The time for their return to Beijing had been set, and they had already started packing their luggage for the past two days. Since they had not paid for their hotel stay and meals, the shopkeeper and the waiters were acting like thieves, trying to prevent them from running away, which was really frustrating.

"Master Wen."

Jiang Wencheng smiled and looked calm, not showing any sign of embarrassment in front of Lord Wen. "Lord Wen, you really made me wait so long."

"I'm really sorry, but I'm busy with spring farming and can't be delayed. I was supposed to visit several other towns, but I received a message from my master and rushed back overnight. How are you, young master?"

Every time he addressed Jiang Wencheng as 'the eldest son', he reminded him of his predicament of not being able to inherit the title. He adjusted his mind a little, "This trip to the southwest has been full of setbacks. I didn't accomplish what I wanted to do, and instead encountered thieves and bandits one after another."

"It is hard to imagine that we can encounter car robbers in the city."

Master Wen smiled and cupped his hands, "Young Master, you don't know, the situation in the southwest is too complicated. Although they are generally loyal to the court, there are still dozens of tribal villages around. Some of the tribes have been here for thousands of years, forming their own systems with large populations. They are brave and good at fighting, and they can't speak the same language as us. They don't listen to the court's control at all, and the dynasties have been unable to do anything about them. It's not easy for the court to have what it has today."

"When they encounter them, even the government office has to back down sometimes."

We were hoping that he would come back to seek justice and recover all the lost property, but in the end he has to just accept his bad luck?

Jiang Wencheng was furious. "Is there no chance of recovering the lost property?"

Lord Wen learned about this on his way back and shook his head. God knows who this man has offended. It is obvious that people are deliberately taking revenge on him. He also deliberately made the situation so complicated. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, so he should not offend anyone if he can avoid it.

"It is too difficult, but I will order my subordinates to investigate as much as possible. If there is any result, I will inform you immediately."

Jiang Wencheng glanced at Cui Yong, who understood what he meant and stepped forward in a hurry, "Sir, there is an emergency in the capital and my master has to leave for the capital immediately. Now he has no carriage and all the money. Please catch the thief as soon as possible and return the property."

Lord Wen looked embarrassed, but he knew what was going on. He could only bow his head again with regret, "Of course we have to catch the thieves and bandits, but we can't delay the eldest master's trip."

The lawyer who came with him presented a tray with a row of silver ingots on it. "The eldest son encountered thieves in the southwest. It was my fault for mismanaging the place. This little bit of silver is my private property. I hope it can help the eldest son return to Beijing."

As soon as the word "private property" was mentioned, Jiang Wencheng owed him a favor, and there was nothing wrong with what he did. He can't just give you the shadow of the government office. If you dare to accept it, it's called exploitation, and you can be reported to the police.

Jiang Wencheng bowed and said that the money was borrowed and he would ask someone to return it after he returned to Beijing.

"There is another thing I would like to ask for your help."

He first praised the brocade in the southwest, and then talked about Chaojinfang, saying that a nobleman in the capital was interested in Chaojinfang, and when he learned that he was coming to the southwest, he specially asked him to check it out for him. "The owner of the shop is really mysterious, who is he?"

Those who can mix in the officialdom are not fools. Lord Wen naturally guessed that the so-called nobleman was himself. He wanted to win over Chaojinfang. "I think the eldest son has met the owner of the shop, but did he hit a wall?"

Jiang Wencheng smiled with disdain in his eyes, "A merchant is so arrogant, I guess there is someone behind him?" Lord Wen nodded, "The owner of the shop is protected by General Yuan, the garrison commander of the southwest. Naturally, no one in the southwest dares to mess with him."

"Southwest garrison?"

Jiang Wencheng has been hearing about this man lately. He is a garrison commander who does the work of a general and is quite prestigious. "It must be Yuan Shen, right? He is quite interesting."

"What is the relationship between the two?"

Lord Wen would naturally not tell him that a general with great prospects was much more valuable than a young man from a baronial mansion who could not inherit the title. Moreover, he had a good personal relationship with Yuan Shen, and on the way back he received a letter from Yuan Shen. "I'm not sure about this, probably a collaboration."

"cooperate?"

How do a man and a woman cooperate?

Yuan Shen did not hide the disdain in his eyes at all, "Does that General Yuan have anyone in the capital?"

Lord Wen told him ambiguously, "General Yuan is 28 years old this year. To have come this far at this age, he is definitely not an ordinary person."

"It will be very difficult for people outside Chaojinfang to intervene."

Jiang Wencheng's face also turned ugly. Hearing that Lord Wen was laughing and saying that he wanted to treat him to a banquet as a farewell, Jiang Wencheng thought about it and decided to borrow some silver to buy some pieces of brocade that he had chosen earlier. He couldn't go back empty-handed.

Early in the morning, the sky was full of morning glow. Yan Chaonian carried little Xun'er and went out with his mother and others seeing him off. He stood in front of the carriage and said to everyone, "I will take good care of myself and Xun'er when we go to the capital. I will not let our mother and son suffer any grievances. Don't worry, Dad and Mom."

"Take care, Dad and Mom."

Parting is always sad. Both Yan's mother and father had red eyes. Li Chun and Li Xia also looked reluctant. Even though they had said the instructions many times, they still couldn't help but remind them again. Yan Chaonian kept smiling until he got in the car, then he cried.

Watching the carriage go away, Mother Yan leaned on Father Yan's shoulder and cried silently. Father Yan also wiped his face and said, "Don't cry. We will go to the capital to see them next year."

The sound of horse hooves approached from afar, and Yan Wenchao, who was exhausted from the journey, jumped off his horse and said, "Dad, Mom, and my two uncles, did you know that I was coming back and came to greet me?"

"Where are my sister and nephew?"

He had rushed back after receiving a letter from Yuan Shen. He was originally very excited, but when he saw his mother crying, he slapped his thigh and said, "I just came back and saw a group of carriages and horses. Could it be my sister and my little nephew?"

Li Chun nodded, "If you chase after him, you can still catch up."

Yan Wenchao didn't have time to say anything else. He turned around, jumped on his horse, turned his horse's head and chased after them. This made the sadness of parting lessened a lot. Mother Yan wiped her tears and said, "Okay, go do what you need to do."

"I'll go in and lie down for a while."

"Sister, don't lie down. Go to the Brocade Shop and give some advice to the weaver."

At this time, it was getting more and more uncomfortable to lie down, and it was not suitable for her to stay alone. Li Chun pulled Yan's mother to leave, and Li Xia also joined in. In this way, Yan's mother was taken to Jinfang, leaving Yan's father with a long sigh.
