Chapter 1577: Chapter 1584 Xiang Yun Also Gave Birth (6)
However, having so much glass stockpiled there is not a solution. She had to quickly figure out a way to go to Lingbei to bring back the stock from there. But now, with three steamed buns at home and still in the nursing period, it was truly not easy for her to travel. She needed to make careful plans and persuade her husband to let her go!
Gao Sanchun was already married—her husband was the cousin of Shen Juhua’s uncle. It was said that her husband treated her very well. Sanchun was already pregnant and living a very happy life now.
As for Miss Zhao Yun, after persistent pursuit by Young Prince Tuoba Liang, she finally agreed to accept him. When they left Lingbei, the Young Prince had already started preparing actively for the grand wedding, which was said to be scheduled for two months later.
Upon hearing this news, Cai Wei couldn’t help but smile and say to the Sun Family Brothers, "When you return to Lingbei, please pass on a message to the Young Prince for me. When he and Zhao Yun hold their grand wedding, I will definitely attend personally and give them a special gift that they will remember for the rest of their lives!"
Of course, it wasn’t just the Young Prince’s grand wedding that the Empress rewarded; when the brothers married, the Empress also gave them generous gifts. Each brother received ten bolts of brocade, two hundred taels of silver, and their wives each received a set of white jade jewelry and several boxes of Mi Fangzhai’s rouge...
The Sun Family Brothers kowtowed and accepted the Empress’s rewards. Initially struggling performers with nowhere to turn, meeting the Empress not only provided them stable work to sustain their lives, but also granted them beautiful wives and stable homes. Their days grew prosperous and comfortable, with plenty of food and clothing, living worry-free.
The brothers were immensely grateful to the Empress and quietly set up an Immortal Plaque in her honor, burning three sticks of incense daily. Day and night, they prayed to the gods and Buddhas, wishing for Empress Mo and her family to be blessed with good health, smooth lives, and longevity...
The Zhou Family in Qingyun Town was doing well too. Jiujin’s daughter-in-law in the Zhou Family was already pregnant, at over five months now. When the Sun Family Brothers passed through Qingyun Town while escorting goods, they happened to see Jiujin’s wife, Mrs. An, with her large belly, selling liquor in the shop. Their family was living very well—not wealthy, but peaceful and warm!
As for Third Elder Mu’s family, whom Cai Wei had asked them to inquire about, they had not seen them. However, Sun Hu did ask Zhou Laowu about Third Elder Mu’s situation. It was said that Third Elder Mu and his wife, along with their daughter and son-in-law, as well as their in-laws, were living in Mu Family Village. Reportedly, life was not going well for them. Their son-in-law was a scoundrel, living off his in-laws. He didn’t do any work and spent his days drinking and gambling. When he ran out of money, he would demand it from his father-in-law. If refused, he would fight with Cai Lian, creating constant chaos at home. When their escort team passed through Qingyun Town, they heard that Third Aunt Mu was urging her daughter to pursue a divorce. But it was unclear if a divorce would really happen.
Regarding Cai Lian, Cai Wei had nothing left to say. She could only lament her misfortune and grow angry at her lack of determination. Even with a promising life ahead of her, Cai Lian chose such a path and kept walking further on the wrong road. Although Cai Lian brought it upon herself to endure hardships, Third Uncle Mu and Third Aunt Mu were truly innocent. Yet they had to endure the torment of the Ji Family father and son because of her. It was such a cruel fate!
In the King’s tent among the Meng slaves, after Helana Nayan’s death, Du Meiren became Tuoba Hong Khan’s new Lady Khan. Tuoba Hong Khan favored her greatly, not only refraining from subjecting her to the cutting ritual but also consulting with her on almost everything.
The new Lady Khan was well-read and had unique insights into many matters. Often, her words left the Khan thoroughly convinced. This was the reason she was able to rise to the position of Lady Khan so quickly. It was also why the Khan secretly promised her that the child in her belly would be the future new Great Khan of the Meng slaves.
