Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

After lunch, Xiang Yun and Nanny Xie bid farewell to Cai Wei and, under the escort of the four protectors from Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, returned to the State Duke’s Mansion.

Upon arriving at her residence, the Cool Autumn Pavilion, the girl on duty in the courtyard saw Xiang Yun returning and hurriedly said, "The Young Madam has come back."

Then she rushed to open the curtain. Xiang Yun, who had consumed some liquor today, was slightly unsteady on her feet. She held onto Nanny Xie’s hand and had just stepped onto the threshold when suddenly, she heard a tender cry from behind her, "Young Madam, please wait!"

As Xiang Yun turned around, she saw a svelte woman veiled by a face veil, being assisted by a maid, crossing the courtyard toward her. The woman, wearing a light purple beizi and a bracelet of violet jade, walked with a swaying grace, fragile as a willow supported by the wind. It was that odious Du Wanqing!

Xiang Yun frowned, displeased, and said, "Why have you come again? Haven’t I already told you that you are not allowed in my courtyard? Are you taking my words for wind?"

While speaking, Du Wanqing had already made her way to Xiang Yun. She respectfully curtsied, speaking softly and gently, "This concubine heard the Madam was not at the mansion today and feared that Brother Zili would have no one to tend to him, so I specially simmered some bone soup to nourish him. I did not expect Madam to return so soon!"

Nanny Xie snorted disdainfully, curling her lips as she said, "The Young Madam only went out for the morning, and you knew about it already. It must be that you’ve been watching our Young Madam, waiting for the chance to see the Young Master, right?"

Du Wanqing laughed lightly, bowed her head gently, and stroked her belly with her delicate jade hands adorned with a Purple Jade Ring, and softly said, "Nanny speaks truthfully. I came here seizing my chance because both the child and I miss him. I hope the Young Madam can give us a break and allow our family of three to reunite!"
