Chapter 80 Returning Home

Early the next morning, Shu Yuwans got up.

Qing Dai and Yimei packed everything neatly, and the Crown Prince accompanied Shu Yuwans on their journey.

Along the way, Shu Yuwans couldn’t contain her excitement.

The Crown Prince noticed and promised, “From now on, I will often accompany you back.”

Although Shu Yuwans didn’t take it seriously, she still expressed her gratitude, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

The Crown Prince looked puzzled, “What do you call me?”

It dawned on Shu Yuwans, and she immediately blushed, “Thank you, Jin Er.”

The Crown Prince was finally satisfied.

Seeing the Crown Prince’s infatuated look, Shu Yuwans felt a bit uncomfortable.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but she couldn’t invest a hundred percent trust and reliance in a man anymore.

In her previous life, although she married An Shaoyu as arranged by her mother, she had hoped for a married life like her parents, with her brothers and their wives living harmoniously. Like most young girls, she had full trust and reliance, as required by the female precepts, to treat her husband as heaven.

However, she paid with her life to understand that what the female precepts said about complete trust was not always possible!

Now, facing the Crown Prince, who seemed to love her wholeheartedly.

Although she was moved, she couldn’t let down her guard as she once did!

The Crown Prince embraced Shu Yuwans, and she leaned into his arms, closing her eyes.

Soon after,

They arrived at the Shu Mansion.

Mrs. Shu was already waiting early in the morning, and Shu Jin Yi, Shu Yuyang, and Shu Yucheng hadn’t gone out, waiting at home for Shu Yuwans to return.

Seeing the carriages of the Crown Prince and Shu Yuwans, a servant at the door rushed inside, shouting, “Miss is back, Miss is back!!”

The Crown Prince dismounted first, then personally helped Shu Yuwans out.

Lady Shu couldn’t contain her joy when she saw them.

“Greetings, Father, Mother.”

“Greetings, Father-in-law, Mother-in-law!”

The Crown Prince also paid his respects with Shu Yuwans. Lady Shu and Mr. Shu Jin Yi quickly helped them up.

“Your Highness, you honor us too much.”

In theory, as the Crown Prince and heir to the throne, he didn’t need to bow to his in-laws. Doing so was simply a sign of his regard for Shu Yuwans.

Shu Yuwans greeted Shu Yuyang and his wife, as well as Shu Yucheng and his wife, exchanging pleasantries.

Yuan and Qing also approached, inquiring about their aunt and uncle’s well-being.

Shu Yuwans was delighted as she distributed the gifts she brought back, especially the children were thrilled.

Lady Shu didn’t bring Wenyue out, so after Shu Yuwans finished giving out the gifts, she sat for a while before saying, “Mother, I want to visit my previous place.”

Lady shu understood that her daughter wanted to see the child, so she said, “Alright, come with me.”

The Crown Prince, Shu Jin Yi, Shu Yuyang, and Shu Yucheng chatted, while Tang and Zhou followed Lady Shu to the backyard.

In Lady Shu’s room,

Wenyue was dressed festively, playing with the nursemaid.

As soon as Shu Yuwans saw her daughter, tears welled up, and she choked out, “Wenyue.”

Wenyue turned around, saw Shu Yuwans, paused for a moment, recognized her, pouted, and burst into tears, “Mom, mom, mom….”

With short legs, she hurriedly ran towards Shu Yuwans.

Shu Yuwans quickly embraced her daughter.

Mother and daughter met, both in tears.

Lady Shu and Tang and Zhou couldn’t help but shed tears when they saw this.

Although Lady Shu treated Wenyue well, and the maid had always been there for her, the child’s dependence on her biological mother hadn’t diminished. At over a year old, she still needed her mother.

Shu Yuwans hugged Wenyue, feeling an indescribable sense of fulfillment.

Wenyue, upon seeing her mother, clung to her, afraid she might leave again.

Yuan asked Zhou, “Mother, why is Wenyue crying?”

Zhou replied, “Wenyue misses her mother.”

After shedding tears together for a while, Shu Yuwans wiped Wenyue’s tears and comforted her, “No more crying, okay?”

Wenyue obediently nodded.

“Have you been listening to Grandma, eating well, and sleeping well these days?”

Wenyue couldn’t answer such a long question.

Lady Shu reassured, “Don’t worry, Wenyue is very well-behaved.”

Of course, Wenyue cried a few times for her mother, but Lady Shu didn’t mention it.

Accompanying her daughter and mother, time passed quickly. Soon, it was afternoon, and it was time to return.

Shu Yuwans was still reluctant to leave.

Wenyue, after not seeing her mother for several days, was particularly sensitive. She refused to sleep all afternoon, sticking to Shu Yuwans. When Shu Yuwans tried to leave, Wenyue instantly burst into tears, holding onto her and refusing to let go.

Seeing her daughter like this, Shu Yuwans couldn’t hold back her emotions.

Mother and daughter started crying again.

The Crown Prince entered and, seeing the scene, suggested, “Why not take Wenyue to the Palace for a few days?”

Shu Yuwans hesitated for a moment, then looked at her daughter’s heart-wrenching expression. Thinking that there were no concubines in the Eastern Palace, making it clean, she eventually agreed.

She couldn’t bear to see her daughter like this.

In this world, the person she couldn’t bear to part with the most was Wenyue.

Lady Shu initially wanted to stop it, especially since Shu Yuwans had just married the Crown Prince, and she hadn’t dared to bring Wenyue out earlier. However, seeing the mother and daughter crying, she sighed.

Qing Dai directed the maids to pack Wenyue’s things.

Together with Wenyue’s nursemaid, they all left.

Once the Crown Prince’s carriage had gone far,

Lady Shu expressed her concerns to Shu Jin Yi, “Will Wenyue’s absence affect the relationship between Shu Yuwans and the Crown Prince?”

Shu Jin Yi reassured, “The Crown Prince is kind and generous. Since he accepted Yuwans, he probably won’t mind Wenyue staying for a few days. Besides, it was the Crown Prince’s idea.”

“The previous arrangement for Wenyue was inappropriate. Wenyue has already been adopted by Yuyang, so staying for a few days won’t be a problem.”

“From the Crown Prince’s attitude towards our family today, it seems that he values Yuwans.”

Lady Shu, recalling the Crown Prince’s treatment of Shu Yuwans that day, felt relieved.

Her Shu Yuwans was indeed fortunate.
