Chapter 132 A visitor from Yan Heng’s fiancee’s house
"It's Mr. Yan who arranges people to come and clean from time to time." Xia Xiaorou said.
Xia Xiaoying was even more surprised. "It was Mr. Yan? Why did he do this?"
Xia Xiaorou looked back at Yan Heng and said, "I don't know his purpose either."
Xia Xiaoying wanted to ask more, but when she saw Yan Heng coming, she had to shut up.
"Let's go to Prince Yan's Mansion." Yan Heng helped Xia Xiaorou into the carriage, and the others also got in.
The carriage continued to move forward, but after a while, it stopped again.
Tian Zhen said outside, "We have arrived at the palace, my lord."
Yan Heng helped Xia Xiaorou get off the carriage.
Xia Xiaorou looked up and found that the place she had arrived at was a large house as magnificent as a palace.
The three big characters "Yanwang Mansion" were clearly written on the lintel.
The gate of the mansion was wide open, and a fat person who looked like a housekeeper was standing at the door.
Seeing Yan Heng getting off the carriage, she walked forward with a smile, "Your Majesty."
Others followed suit and saluted.
"Madam Xiang, this is Madam Xia." Yan Heng pointed at Xia Xiaorou and then at Xia Xiaoying behind her, "This is Madam Xia's sister, Madam Ying."
Madam Xiang bowed deeply to Xia Xiaorou, "Hello, Madam Xia." Then he bowed to Xia Xiaorou again, "Hello, Madam Ying."
Xia Xiaorou was relatively calm. She had seen many such occasions when she went out with Yan Heng in her previous life.
But it really scared Xia Xiaoying and made her feel embarrassed.
"Sister." Xia Xiaorou gently pulled Xia Xiaoying's sleeve, signaling her not to panic and to pay attention to her true identity.
Xia Xiaoying came back to her senses and followed Xia Xiaorou's example, nodding towards her wife, "You're welcome."
Madam Xiang then turned to Yan Heng and said, "According to the instructions in the prince's letter, we have prepared a place for Madam Xia and for Madam Ying and the wet nurse and children."
"Well, go in." Yan Heng nodded and took Xia Xiaorou into the palace gate first.
Xia Xiaoying took a deep breath and turned to look at her two daughters.
But now that she is here, she doesn't need to worry about anything at all.
Zhuyun had already called two maids to look after the two children.
As for Xia Xiaorou's child, He Ying held him personally.
The two wet nurses followed He Ying in a panic.
Led by Madam Xiang, the group entered the palace gate.
Xia Xiaorou was taken by Yan Heng personally to see the residence.
The others were taken to their respective residences by Madam Xiang and Zhu Yun Heying.

The news that Yan Heng brought Xia Xiaorou back to Beijing quickly spread throughout the capital.
This then alarmed Empress Dowager Ji in the palace.
"Empress Dowager, the Prince of Yan is serious. He actually brought that village woman to the capital." The nanny beside Empress Dowager Ji shook her head, "Miss Wen Fourth still lost to a village woman."
"Hmph, what a useless thing. All my daily teaching to her is in vain. Doesn't she use her brain to learn at all?" Queen Mother Ji sneered.
"Does the Empress Dowager mean that we should just give Prince Yan's permission and let him marry that village woman?" The nanny carefully observed the expression of the Empress Dowager Ji.
"Humph, how is that possible?" Queen Mother Ji sneered, "I don't agree. That village woman can't even get the status of a concubine." She tilted her head and looked at the nanny, "You go to the Sang family right away and tell them that Prince Yan is going to marry again. If the Sang family wants their son to come back soon, they should go to Yan Heng's mansion to visit that village woman."
The nanny looked at her and nodded, "Yes, Queen Mother."

When Guanglu Temple Minister Sang Hongwen saw the housekeeper nanny beside Empress Dowager Ji coming again, his brows knitted together and his heart sank, but he had to step forward and salute her, "Nanny Jing, why are you free to come to my house today?"
He knew that this nanny would not come here for no reason, and she must have come because of the empress dowager's instructions.
But he didn't want to see the Queen Mother and the people around her.
"Did you know that Yan Heng has returned to Beijing?" Nanny Sang raised her eyebrows slightly.
Yan Heng was no small figure. Within half an hour of his return to the capital, the news had spread throughout the city.
The Sang family is a minister in the court, how could they not know?
Sang Hongwen nodded, "A colleague told me."
Nanny Jing smiled slightly, "The Prince of Yan is the fiancé of Lord Sang's daughter, but he has fallen in love with someone else. Lord Sang, if he doesn't think about his dead daughter, shouldn't he think about Master Sang who is far away in Xirong?"
Thinking of his only son who was sent as a hostage by Empress Dowager Ji, and his daughter who died suddenly, Sang Hongwen was extremely angry, but he could do nothing.
He didn't know how his daughter died. Whether his son could come back or not was up to the Queen Mother. Sang Hongwen could only say, "Please rest assured, Queen Mother. I haven't forgotten my daughter or my son. I know what to do."
"In that case, I will reply to the Queen Mother." Nanny Jing smiled and left the Sang family.
As soon as she left, Sang Hongwen immediately got in a carriage and went to Yan Heng's palace in person.
However, when he arrived at Prince Yan's Mansion, he did not go in, but stood in front of the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion in plain clothes, with his hands hanging down.
The gatekeepers were used to seeing him dressed like this, but they all looked unhappy. However, they did not dare to chase him away, so they had to quickly run into the backyard to report to Yan Heng.
When Yan Heng heard that he was coming, her brows furrowed.
"Master, Madam Xia is at home, we can't let him make trouble like before." Tian Zhen shook his head and said.
The Queen Mother promised a marriage to Yan Heng, but before Yan Heng could express her opinion, the young lady of the Sang family suddenly died.
Then the rumor spread in the capital that Yan Heng agreed to marry Miss Sang but changed his mind, and Miss Sang couldn't stand the humiliation and committed suicide.
From then on, whenever Yan Heng had a crush on someone, or someone was trying to be a matchmaker for Yan Heng, someone from the Sang family would stand in front of the gate of Prince Yan’s mansion in plain clothes.
In the past, it was Mrs. Sang who came, but this time, it was Sang Hongwen who came in person.
So, Tian Zhen was very surprised, and everyone in the Prince Yan's Mansion was anxious and angry.
Miss Sang’s death clearly had nothing to do with Yan Heng.
Yan Heng hasn't agreed to marry Miss Sang yet, why is he refusing again?
But the rumors just spread everywhere.
But Yan Heng was too lazy to explain, so the matter just got worse and worse.
In the past, he didn't really want to get married, so Yan Heng cared about the Sang family's fuss. But this time, Yan Heng brought his acknowledged fiancée back to the mansion for the first time, which showed that he was really serious about her. How could his subordinates not be anxious?
"Please ask Lord Sang to come into the mansion. Madam Xia and I want to see him in person." Yan Heng nodded to Tian Zhen.
Tian Zhen opened his eyes wide in shock, "Huh?"
"I know what to do. Leave now." Yan Heng waved at Tian Zhen, turned and left.
Tian Zhen had no choice but to go outside the mansion.
He bowed to Sang Hongwen and said, "Sir Sang, our prince wants to see you."
Sang Hongwen thought that this time he was just going to escape, and as long as he stood in front of Yan Heng's house for three days and three nights, even if Yan Heng didn't see him, he would have completed the task assigned by the Queen Mother. But to his surprise, Yan Heng wanted to see him for the first time in her life.
