“Grandma, I have something to do in the capital. Are you coming with me, or are you staying in the Ning family village?” Ning Yue asked.
“I heard everything that happened when your father came to the Ning family village last time. It also reminded me of many things. When the time comes, I’ll tell you in detail. I understand one thing. Some things can’t be avoided just because I want to. Therefore, I want to enter the capital.”
An Ning’s words were clear, surprising and delightful. “Grandma, have you really thought it through?”
“Yes, I’ve already packed my things. I was just about to go out and tell you,” An Yuan said to Ning Yue with a smile.
It was good that she had thought it through. Ning Yue didn’t say anything else and helped An Yuan out of the room.
Just as the group was about to get into the carriage, Old Master Ning suddenly brought Erlang to Ning Yue. “Yueyue, get Erlang to accompany you.”
“Grandpa wanted to accompany you personally, but I’m old. I’m afraid that I’ll drag you down. Erlang is young. You can instruct him to do whatever you want. He can even help you take care of the children and let him enter the capital to broaden his horizons. This child has been clamoring to be a great general since he was young.”
“Your mother has to take care of your grandmother and your daily needs. Sometimes, she’ll be too busy alone.”
“Grandpa, has Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt agreed?” Ning Yue asked.
“They agreed. They’re all very happy to be able to help you,” Old Master Ning said.
Just like that, the eight of them boarded two carriages and set off.
In about three days, they arrived at the capital.
Ning Yue rejected Jiang Ying’s request to stay at Prince Jin’s residence. It would be fine if they stayed there if it was just her and Gu Yu. However, with Madam He, An Ning, the two children, and Second Young Master, it would be unreasonable.
“Help us rent a courtyard. We’ll move in after we’re done,” Ning Yue said.
Jiang Ying wanted to say something, but seeing Ning Yue’s serious expression, he could only send Uncle Su to look for the courtyard.
Soon, Uncle Su found the courtyard Ning Yue had requested. “They only charge five taels of silver a month,” Uncle Su said.
When Uncle Su heard this price, he thought he was hallucinating. He only confirmed that it was five taels of silver after asking again and again.
“Why do they want so little?” Ning Yue frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
What was the purpose of such a low price?
“Perhaps someone already knows that the divine doctor has entered the capital. They want to curry favor with him. I’ve checked. There’s nothing wrong with that person,” Uncle Su said.
Ning Yue was still hesitating. After all, there were seven of them. She had to consider carefully.
“Stay here for now. With me around, there’s no need to be afraid. If anything really happens, just wait for me to poison him to death with a packet of medicine.” Gu Yu waved his hand domineeringly.
No matter what, the most important thing was to settle the issue of accommodation first. He was already hungry. He missed his disciple’s cooking very much.
Ning Yue looked at Gu Yu in amusement and didn’t say anything else.
Just like that, the group lived in a courtyard two streets away from Prince Jin’s residence.
Ning Yue had just settled down when Xiaochi, who had received the news, ran over. “Aunt Yueyue, you’ve finally arrived in the capital!”
“You’re Xiaochi? Why are you here? Did you come alone? How’s your health?” Ning Yue looked at Xiaochi in surprise.
“I’ve long recovered. Thank you for saving me last time!” With that, Jiang Ying walked in.
“This is my nephew, Jiang Chi.” Jiang Ying introduced him to Ning Yue.
After Ning Yue saved her last time, Xiaochi and Ning Yue had never seen each other again.
Xiaochi didn’t recognize the wrong person. He knew at a glance who Ning Yue was.
“Yes, you look much better. Have you eaten well recently?” Ning Yue asked with a smile.
Xiaochi looked to be about seven or eight years old. If she wasn’t wrong, he should be the son of the current crown prince.
Ning Yue did not ask the question, afraid that she would scare Madam He.
“Xiaochi, stay here and play with your two younger brothers. Young Uncle wants to bring Divine Doctor Gu and Aunt Yueyue to the palace,” Jiang Ying said.
Ning Yue was stunned. “Is it okay to leave Xiaochi here?”
Jiang Chi was the son of the crown prince and the eldest grandson of the emperor. If nothing went wrong, according to the tradition of this country, the throne would be inherited by Jiang Chi sooner or later.
