Jinwei joins hands in rebirth: villains can also eat at the table

Chapter 339 Parting

Jinzhong slowly walked up to her, lifted up his shirt and squatted down. He looked up at her stern face and covered her hand with his in distress.

Her hands were very cold, and it took him a long time to warm them up.

"I've been so selfish to keep them by my side for over thirty years. I can't let them stay in the palace forever. Life in the palace is much harder than outside. Now, you're the only one left by my side..."

Yanwan suppressed her reluctance and forced a smile on her face.

"I wish you were alone with me. Now that they're both gone, I've finally succeeded. I just checked your treasury, and it's half empty. You're such a tycoon."

Yanwan was amused by his appearance, but before she could say anything, big tears burst out of her eyes.

The hot tears fell on the back of Jinzhong's hand, burning him so much that it hurt him terribly.

"Bah, it's all my fault. I made the master sad. It was my fault for saying something wrong. Don't cry, ah."

Jinzhong was a little at a loss and raised his hand to wipe the tears from her face.

But the tears kept falling, and no matter how hard he tried to wipe them away, they wouldn't stop.

"This is all I can give them. They have been with me in the palace for two lifetimes, and this is all I can give them..."

Yan Wan took out half of her private treasury to give them status, money, houses and land...

But no matter how much she added, it always felt like it wasn't enough.

Compared with the time of two lifetimes, these material possessions are ultimately insignificant.

"I know, I know. Don't cry until your eyes are damaged. If you still feel you owe me something, we can make it up to you later. If you continue crying, I'm afraid they won't be able to leave peacefully tomorrow when they see you..."

"Let's stop crying. We still have to send you two out of the palace tomorrow..."

Jinzhong was coaxing them on one side, and the two of them, who had just wiped away their tears on the other side, returned to their room and saw the room full of rewards. They couldn't help but hug each other and cry again.

Rewards of all sizes were piled together, almost filling up the entire room. Some large items that could not be placed were piled at the door.

The palace maids passing by kept looking inside, their eyes full of envy.

"The master has been busy in the palace for most of his life, and most of these things have been taken away by us..."

Yan Wan started from scratch, and except for the things bestowed by the emperor that cannot be taken out of the palace, everything else is here.

Chunchan takes care of these things on a daily basis, and she knows it very well.

"If we leave, what will happen to the master? Chunchan, where do you want to go after leaving the palace?"

"Of course I will stay in the capital and come to the palace more often to accompany the master when I have time. What about you?"

"I have to go home first. I haven't been back for over 30 years. I don't know what my home looks like now. You wait for me in Beijing. When I come back from visiting my family, we can stay in Beijing together to guard the master..."

The residence for the two of them in Beijing was given to them by Yongyan at the request of Yan Wan.

They grew up with Yan Wan and Yong Yan, so when they left the palace the next day, Yong Yan came to see them off in person and gave them many rewards.

They had all cried the night before, but when they left the next day, all three of them had smiles on their faces.

Yanwan smiled, the two sisters finally had freedom.

Chunchan and Lancui smiled to reassure her.

This was not a big deal, so it was done quietly, with only a team of escorting people and horses escorting the two men and the carriages loaded with rewards out of the Forbidden City.

Yan Wan personally watched them get on the carriage. After they got in, she lifted the curtain and kept giving instructions.

The sound of horse hooves and footsteps mixed with the wobbly carriage frame, carrying them out of the place that had trapped them for most of their lives.

They went out, but Yanwan was still trapped here.

She subconsciously clenched the back of Jinzhong's hand, which was supporting her. The two looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.

"Time flies so fast! In the blink of an eye, the two aunts have left the palace. Don't worry, mother. I will visit you more often in the future and won't let you feel lonely."

Yongyan saw the sadness on Yanwan's face and thought that she felt lonely because her confidant had left the palace, so he spoke to comfort her.

"I'm fine. You're the crown prince, why do you always go to Yongshou Palace? Don't worry, mother is fine, she's just sad for a moment. You should go back to government affairs first. Mother wants to take a walk..."

Yanwan was a little listless. Even after hearing her son's comfort, she was still depressed and forced herself to smile to get rid of him.

"Yes, I will go to Yongshou Palace later to have dinner with my mother."

Yongyan also noticed that Yanwan was in a bad mood, so he didn't ask any more questions. After agreeing, he returned to the Yangxin Palace.

Ever since Yan Wan was crowned queen, the two's titles have not changed.

After all, the title "Emperor Mother" had an extra "Emperor" in it, and anything associated with it would carry a certain coldness. So Yan Wan didn't ask him to change his words, and the two of them continued as before.

The affection between mother and son did not become estranged because Yongyan became the crown prince.

It was not until she saw the carriage that was taking the two of them out of the palace disappear from her sight that Yan Wan withdrew her gaze and reluctantly left with Jinzhong's support.

Now that spring has arrived, the clear sky appears even more azure against the backdrop of the red walls of the Forbidden City.

However, the palace wall was so high that no matter how one looked at it, the sky seemed to be enclosed in a small square.

It is not the sky that is enclosed, but people who are enclosed in the narrow palace walls.

A huge convoy was moving along the long street, and the imperial guards were escorting the two carriages forward.

This attracted the attention of the surrounding people.

This was a happy occasion, and the maid who had been arranged in advance to serve the two of them was holding a basket filled with wedding money and candies wrapped in red paper. She grabbed a handful and threw it to the crowd as she walked.

"Madam Gaoming is back home!"

The people around rushed to grab the items.

A beggar grabbed a few candies tremblingly, then hurriedly opened the red paper and stuffed the money into his arms. He didn't even have time to remove the wedding candies before putting them into his mouth.

She hadn't eaten anything like this for a long time. She chewed the wedding candy with big mouthfuls, mixing it with the candy wrapper, and savored the sweetness with satisfaction.

"Whose lady is this? Why is she so gorgeous?"

"These aren't just anybody's wives. They're the two aunts of the current Empress Dowager. They've raised the current Emperor. How glorious! If I could earn this kind of honor by entering the palace, I'd be willing to die..."

The beggar paused when he heard the sounds of people talking around him, but subconsciously went up to join in the robbing.

It didn't take long before he had grabbed a full bag.

This person is Rong Pei.

Not long after she settled down, she met with misfortune. As she grew older and had no family income, she was kicked out. Soon she became a beggar, barely surviving in the world.

She tore the red paper that wrapped the wedding money and candy while heading towards the alley, but as soon as she entered the alley, she was stopped by several beggars.

"You've robbed quite a bit, old man. Just hand it over and save yourself the trouble..."

Rong Pei looked at them, gathered the things in her arms, and wanted to escape without thinking.

But she didn't run for long before she was caught up and the person behind her kicked her to the ground.

Her head hit the ground hard, and blood gushed out instantly.

"Bah, old thing, you are shameless."

The beggar proudly picked up the wedding money scattered on the ground, and soon took away what she had just fought for.

Rong Pei was old, and after they left, she struggled for a long time before getting up from the ground.

This scene had happened countless times, and she gradually became numb. She walked with a limp, and the blood on the ground was stained with her blood and the red paper, which was very sad.

Rong Pei sighed as she walked step by step. If she had anyone to blame, it was only herself. She had chosen the wrong master. One wrong step led to all the wrong steps.

Not long after, a beggar died in the capital.
