Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 162: Return to the Capital!

Early the next morning, Long Yue had already packed the luggage. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Yue’er, are you waiting for someone?"

At the city gate, Duanmu Nan asked with a slight smile.

Long Yue nodded, "Yes, waiting for her. Master, let’s wait another half hour. If she still doesn’t come, then... then let’s go!"

Leaving the hometown where she had lived for over thirty years, anyone would feel reluctant, and Long Yue wouldn’t force it.

Duanmu Nan lightly nodded.

As the sun rose high, two sticks of incense had passed, but still no one came.

But since they said they would wait for half an hour, it must be exactly half an hour, not a minute less.

Everyone waited for a while longer in the biting cold at the city gate, and Long Yue worried about her husband’s health, quickly tightened his Big Hat for him.

"Yue’er, your husband is already fine!"

Duanmu Nan explained, not realizing that a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

Just as everyone felt the time was up and it was time to leave, a red figure appeared in the distance, with a large bundle on their back.

"Lady Yue, wait for me!"

After a whole night of mental struggle, Yun Niang finally made up her mind, and then hurriedly packed a bundle early in the morning, resulting in such a large package.

Yun Niang, dressed in red, added a touch of color to this winter.

The group of five set off.

However, they did not head straight to the Capital City but took a detour to Ling’an City to find the Young Prince Qi Jingyu. But before they even entered Ling’an City, they were stopped outside.

The person who came was Shi Qin.

"Miss Shi Qin, are you waiting for us here on purpose?"

"Yes, the Princely Heir knew you would come looking for him, so he sent me directly!" Shi Qin nodded slightly and took out a brocade box from her arms, "The Princely Heir wanted me to give this to you, he said everything you wanted is in here!"

Li Qingmu and Long Yue exchanged a glance, seeing a hint of admiration for this little kid from each other’s eyes. This little rascal is indeed deep and shrewd!

"Thank you!"

Li Qingmu cautiously received it with both hands, then left together with Long Yue.

Shi Qin watched them from afar, and just as they completely disappeared from view, a shadow suddenly appeared: "Miss Shi Qin, inside are all the profiles of ministers and authorities in the Capital City, and some of our arrangements there, just given to them so easily? Aren’t you afraid..."

"Afraid of what? Both of them are determined and won’t be swayed by external things! Besides, they are seeking revenge, not high official positions. The Princely Heir trusts them!"

"Then... with just this information, can they establish themselves in the Capital City? That place is a killing ground with blood unseen..."

"Hmph, this is the culmination of our Fei Luan Pavilion’s efforts over the years, no less than the Emperor’s Yulong Pavilion. If they can’t stand their ground with this, then they are useless and not worth pitying!"

Shi Qin said coldly and turned to leave!

...

Another year, while others are at home staying warm for the Spring Festival, happily having reunion meals, Long Yue and Li Qingmu are still on the road.

They have been married for a year and a half, experienced two Lunar New Year Festivals, yet have always been travelling.

The carriage moved slowly, and Li Qingmu looked at his little wife resting her head against him, his eyes filled with tenderness.

—Yue’er, next year’s New Year’s Festival, I’ll definitely spend it well with you!

Even if Long Yue doesn’t say it, Li Qingmu knows these two years have been hard on her, having her follow him from place to place. This affection is something he can never repay in this lifetime but only make it up by treating her wholeheartedly to ease his guilt.

Rushing day and night, seven days later, they arrived in Shengjing City ahead of time.

Shengjing, a city inhabited by the most noble people in the world, is a place where dignitaries gather, merchants are everywhere, literati and poets come and go like carp in a river; it’s wealthy, peaceful, with singing and dancing in abundance!

At the Shengjing city gate, Long Yue slowly looked up, gazing at this familiar yet unfamiliar grand entrance, and suddenly, a tear traced across her face!

She... she’s back!

After a year and a half, she’s finally back!

"Pang Shuangyue... could never imagine, right? That I could actually... come back!"

Long Yue’s voice slightly choked, her excitement barely contained, her delicate body trembling, and realizing this, Li Qingmu quickly embraced her.

His chin rested on her forehead, murmuring: "Yue’er... we’re back, from this moment on, we will move forward side by side, everything imposed upon us before, we will repay a hundredfold!"

As he said this, Li Qingmu tightened his right hand into a fist, the scars on his arm, even after a year, still visible. That day’s relentless chase and bone-crushing pain remain vivid to this day!

This deep-seated hatred, he will never forget!

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the hatred within, Li Qingmu calmly said: "Let’s go!"

The group proceeded through the city gates and entered the city.

First, they found an inconspicuous inn to stay at, then headed to Duanmu Nan’s room.

"Master, you said before that you plan to open a medical clinic in the Capital City?"

"That’s right."

"Then... besides opening a clinic, do you plan to start a medicine field?"

Long Yue’s big eyes twinkled, as she targeted her master’s ideas.

Duanmu Nan, seeing her mischievous look, chuckled lightly: "A medicine field... I’ve thought about it, but the land prices in the Capital City are quite high, it might be difficult."

"That’s okay, I brought quite a bit of silver. If you want, Master, I can go check out the suburbs, maybe there’s some good land available."

"Well... that could work! But if you’re buying land..."

"Master, we’re master and disciple, what’s there to be courteous about? To be honest with you, my husband and I want to establish ourselves in the Capital City, and it’s impossible to do so without money, so I plan to go back to the old path: relying on cultivating medicinal herbs to make a living. You see, this solves our financial problems and benefits the people, isn’t it two birds with one stone?"

"Oh..." Duanmu Nan let out a long breath, tapping Long Yue’s forehead, "So you’re asking your master to help you run errands, aren’t you? You little rascal, full of naughty ideas!"

"Ah, Master, please!"

Long Yue covered her forehead, giggling. Seeing her smile like a blossoming flower, Duanmu Nan’s eyes softened with a splash of gentleness, nodding slowly: "Alright, I’m afraid of you, I’ll go along with it."

"Ah, thank you, Master! Haha!"

Li Qingmu, from the side, looked at his little wife in exasperation as she gave her master a big bear hug, wanting to hit something.

Even though he knew his little wife was doing it all for his good.

Being an official in the Capital City, blatantly doing business gives others an excuse to use against you; the best solution is to delegate, letting others manage, but the true behind-the-scenes person, remains them.

That’s why Duanmu Nan would say Long Yue wants him to assist in errands.

Duanmu Nan’s probably finding the situation both painful and delightful, having such a lively apprentice at least means life won’t be lonely.

After everything was agreed upon, Long Yue started wandering around the outskirts of the Capital City to see if there was any suitable land. However, after much searching, she did find a few spots, but the prices were a bit high.

Three days later, the expedition army returned to the Capital City in triumph!
