A little... Interesting? Yun Shang's eyes widened. She really didn't think there was any interesting part of her description about Xia Huanyu. Or Lady Zhao still had some feelings for Xia Huanyu subconsciously though she has lost her memory?
Yun Shang smiled awkwardly and continued, "But Xia Huanyu has always been merciless to those who have offended him, even if they are related by blood."
Lady Zhao nodded slightly. After a long silence, she said calmly, "When will you go back to Huaiyin City?"
Yun Shang looked up at Lady Zhao, only to see her calm expression and her deep and bottomless eyes. No one knew what she was thinking about. Yun Shang thought for a while and answered softly, "I'll leave tomorrow."
Lady Zhao nodded and looked up at the maid standing aside. "Go and pack up my things. Just the small box on the dresser and some clothes. There's no need to take other things."
Hearing her order, Yun Shang was amazed, "Your Ladyship..."
Glancing at Yun Shang, Lady Zhao smiled and said, "You've talked so much to me for several times since you visited me in KY City. You just want me to go back to Xia Huanyu, right? Haven't I fulfilled your wish now? Why do you look so surprised?"
Yun Shang did feel surprised. Just as Lady Zhao said, she had told a lot of things to Lady Zhao because she wanted her to know that Luo Qingyan didn't live a good life in the State of Xia. She had been on all sides to arouse her sympathy for her son, whom she hadn't known for more than 20 years. Moreover, she could have asked someone to stop the messengers sent by the seventh prince, in that case, Xia Huanyu wouldn't have known it so soon. But she didn't as she wanted to push Lady Zhao forward.
However, Yun Shang didn't expect that Lady Zhao would agree without hesitation.
"You don't have to be so surprised. I have thought a lot these days. On one hand, I always feel that the memory I have lost is very important to me, but I can't recall it anyway. You might not understand this feeling. In fact, I hope to get back that memory. One the other hand, I had knew Prince Jing's hardships even before I knew he is my son. Now that I've known his identity, I should be responsible for him. After all, it was me who brought him to this world. Now I have nothing to worry about except Yingjie. To be a empress sounds like a challenge. Since I can't go to the battlefield, it's not bad to practice in another battlefield without blood." Lady Zhao said with a smile.
Yun Shang stared at Yun Shang blankly, seeming to know where some of Luo Qingyan's personalities come from.
Now that Lady Zhao had agreed to go to Huaiyin with Yun Shang, Yun Shang finally felt relieved. But she was still a little worried. "But, General Zhao..."
"He'll go with us." Without hesitation, Lady Zhao said, "It is an undeniable fact that I got married and had a child as I lost my memory. It's better to be honest with each other from the beginning than to be controlled by others later. I have enough confidence to protect Yingjie. You don't have to worry. Besides, Xia Huanyu has married many concubines into has harem and has had a lot of children with them, hasn't he? I haven't blamed him yet. How could he blame me?"
Yun Shang was shocked at Lady Zhao's daring words, speechless. But she liked her personality. Then the matter was settled. Yun Shang stayed in An'ning Village for only one night. On the morning of the second day, she went to Huaiyin City with Lady Zhao and Zhao Yingjie.
As soon as she entered the yard, Yun Shang received the news that Xia Huanyu was about to arrive at Huaiyin City, and Liu Yinfeng had gone to pick him up.
After thinking for a while, Yun Shang ordered the servants to find a new yard house not far from where she lived for Lady Zhao and her son.
