Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 285 Reunion
Su Rende dispatched a troop of soldiers to escort Su Yaoguang back to the capital.

Two months later, Su Yaoguang rode on horseback, looked up at the city gate in front of her, and let out a soft breath.

"I didn't inform Wang Shu in advance, I wanted to give him a surprise, and I don't know what his expression will be when he sees me."

“The young master must be very happy,” said Su Rende’s deputy. “Miss, I must go directly to the palace to report to the Emperor, so I will not escort you back to the Marquis’s residence.”

"You are busy with your business, don't worry about me."

There was a caravan behind her, and she had to lead it back to Taoyaofang.

At the entrance of Taoyaofang.

Zhang Yingdi had just seen off the obsequious ladies and was about to return to her shop when she saw a large procession heading towards Taoyaofang. Standing at the door, she looked at the leader and shouted, "Yaoguang is back! Everyone come and see! Yaoguang is back!"

Zhang Pandi and the others ran out from inside.

Su Yaoguang rode a large horse, looking heroic and dashing.

She waved and said with a smile, "I'm back."

"Yaoguang..." The crowd came to greet her.

Su Yaoguang dismounted and said to the caravan behind her, "Take the goods to the backyard."

"What are all these things?" Zhang Yingdi asked.

"I brought back animal hides from the border, as well as many trinkets that are only available on the other side of the border."

"I'll go take a look," Zhang Yingdi said. "You guys take Yaoguang inside to rest for a while and have something to eat."

“Yaoguang must not have slept well. Let her get some sleep first!” Jiang Jing said. “We can talk about other things after she’s had enough sleep.”

"Does Wangshu know you're back?" Zhang Pandi asked, getting to the point.

Su Yaoguang gently shook her head: "He doesn't know, so I plan to go find him and give him a surprise."

“You need to find Wang Shu. Going to the old government office won’t work. He’s a favorite of the Emperor now, and his status is comparable to your father’s. He is now…” Zhang Yingdi said mysteriously.

Zhou Wangshu left the cabinet and bowed to his colleagues to take his leave.

"Prime Minister Zhou..." The colleague next to him looked in surprise in the opposite direction.

Zhou Wangshu followed his gaze and his eyes narrowed when he saw the woman dressed in a bright and flamboyant manner.

Su Yaoguang, mounted on her horse, waved to him: "Husband, I'm back."

Zhou Wangshu ran over.

Other colleagues: "..."

Although Zhou Wangshu was young, he was extremely ruthless, and no one dared to underestimate him. But at this moment, words like mature, steady, and dignified were completely unrelated to him.

He flew away like a butterfly, his laughter radiant.

Can not bear to look.

Was he really the one who recently purged the treacherous ministers for the emperor?

"My lords, sometimes it's better not to know too much. Knowing too much can lead to being killed to silence you. Everyone, you'd better get out of here quickly!"

The officials hurriedly left. However, before leaving, they couldn't help but feel envious seeing Zhou Wangshu tightly embracing Su Yaoguang.

I envy the passionate and sincere emotions of young people.

Even when they were young, they never had such passionate feelings.

Zhou Wangshu hugged Su Yaoguang tightly: "When did you get back? Why didn't you send a message beforehand? That way I could have come to pick you up."

"Just got back. I did it on purpose, to surprise you. Were you surprised?"

"I was shocked, but also overjoyed. My Yaoguang is finally back." Zhou Wangshu hugged her tightly. "Let's go back first, there are too many people here." Su Yaoguang pushed him away.

"Okay, let's go back and talk about it."

Zhou Wangshu first helped Su Yaoguang onto the horse, then followed and rode up behind her.

The two rode their horses through the long street.

"Is that Prime Minister Zhou? Is he holding his wife?"

"His wife didn't go to the border, she's back now?"

"General Su has conquered the enemy country, and we will never have another war. Miss Su has made great contributions on the border! This couple is both incredibly capable."

"What a perfect couple!"

On the street, a deranged woman clutched an infant, inside which lay a rotting corpse. She huddled in a corner, muttering, "I am the Prime Minister's wife, I am a first-rank imperial consort..."

"That crazy woman is still holding her dead child?"

"That's right, we wanted to snatch her and bury her, but she bites people, she's terrifying."

"I heard that this child was born mentally challenged. It's actually a good thing that he was freed from this situation sooner rather than later. Otherwise, if he grows up with a mother like that, he will suffer as well."

Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu returned to the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence.

Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness is a noble title that can be passed down to one's son. The position of Chancellor is an official post that cannot be inherited; it is merely a source of honor for Zhou Wangshu.

"Madam is back." The butler was overjoyed to see Su Yaoguang.

"Yes, I'm back," Su Yaoguang said. "I've taken a bath at Taoyaofang and eaten something, so you don't need to prepare anything for me."

"Yes."

Zhou Wangshu pulled Su Yaoguang back to the room and said, "You haven't rested since you came back, have you? Lie down and rest, I'll stay by your side. We'll talk after you've had a good sleep and woke up."

"Then you'll sleep with me."

"Okay." Zhou Wangshu carried her to the bed.

He lay beside her.

Su Yaoguang leaned closer, listening to his heartbeat.

"I just got back and haven't had time to talk to everyone yet, but while I was waiting for you, I overheard some things from the passersby. You accomplished so much while I was away; how are you so amazing?"

“You’re very capable too,” Zhou Wangshu said.

Su Yao fell asleep leaning against Zhou Wangshu.

When she woke up again, it was pitch black outside.

Zhou Wangshu was also exhausted and slept soundly.

Su Yaoguang didn't disturb him and fell asleep nestled in his arms.

This peaceful life is what she wanted.

"You're awake?" Zhou Wangshu took her hand and pulled her into his arms. "Judging by the time, your mother should have given birth by now, right?"

"He's born, a boy, fair and chubby. My father stayed at the border because my mother had just given birth and it was inconvenient for him to return to the capital. He said that now that the two countries have merged, His Majesty should choose a new capital, and he will go to the new capital to join us."

"We have indeed been dealing with this matter recently. There are differing opinions on the location of the new capital. However, we should have reached an agreement soon."

After determining the location of the new capital, the next step was the construction of the imperial palace. This was a huge expense. Fortunately, the territory had expanded, and the taxes collected from various regions would generate a considerable amount of revenue, which should be enough to cover the costs.

"Yaoguang, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be one of the first officials to move to the new capital, as I'll be overseeing the construction of the imperial palace there. The Emperor and the other civil and military officials will gradually move over. Will you come with me?"

"What do you think?" Su Yaoguang leaned close to him. "Wherever you are, that's where I'll be. I came back specifically to be with you."
