Chapter 131 Yan Heng secretly guards the Weiguo Mansion
Xia Xiaorou's eyes flickered and she looked away. "Whether to fight or not is up to him. How can others make the decision?"
Yan Heng raised her lips slightly, "That's true. When he grows up, I'll ask him about this matter again."
-
In September in the north, the wind is cold and blowing.
But fortunately, the sky is clear every day.
This kind of weather is perfect for long journeys.
However, because she was carrying a child, Yan Heng did not drive the carriage faster, but instead drove it slowly.
The journey of about three hundred miles would normally take two or three days for a horse-drawn carriage, but the caravan took six days.
It was already after noon when the carriage arrived in the capital.
Xia Xiaorou lifted the curtain, looked at the bustling street scene, and imagined her mother Wei Xueyin's life in the capital.
But she couldn't imagine it. In her vague memory, there were only her mother's sad eyes, thin cheeks, and her mother's numerous instructions.
——Live well.
Yes, she was alive and well, and she lived to return to the capital for her mother.
Seeing her gloomy expression, Yan Heng said to Tian Zhen who was driving the carriage, "Let's go to the Duke of Wei's mansion first."
Tian Zhen, the driver, was very surprised. "My Lord, the Duke of Wei's Mansion has been sealed. No one has cleaned it up for more than ten years. It has long been in ruins. What are you going there for?"
Yan Heng, "Just take a look, go ahead if I tell you to, no need to waste words."
Tian Zhen shrugged his shoulders and had to obey the arrangements and drove the carriage to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.
Xia Xiaorou turned around and looked at Yan Heng in surprise.
Yan Heng held her hand and said, "That's your grandparents' house. Although they are gone, the house is still there, and the home is still there."
Xia Xiaorou's eyes flickered and she lowered her eyelids.
Why did Yan Heng do this?
The carriage passed through the busy city and finally turned into a quieter but wider street.
Seeing that she was staring at the outside of the street with an expression as if she was memorizing a route, Yan Heng took out a map of the capital's carriages from the secret compartment in the carriage and handed it to Xia Xiaorou.
Xia Xiaorou blinked and looked up at him.
"This is a map of the capital's carriages. Take a look at it when you have time and memorize the route so you won't get lost in the future."
Xia Xiaorou took it in her hand and started to read it.
She was not surprised when she saw the picture of the chariot.
Because Yan Heng from her previous life had already shown her the route and said that she would take her to the capital in the future and asked her to memorize the route in advance.
She thought Yan Heng would really bring her to the capital. In just seven days, she had memorized the intricate and web-like streets of the capital by heart.
In her previous life, she desperately hoped that Yan Heng would take her away.
But in this life, she wanted to leave Yan Heng.
"You seem to be in a bad mood, Xiaorou?" Yan Heng straightened her body, looked at her face and raised an eyebrow and asked, "You haven't smiled much during this journey."
Xia Xiaorou pursed her lips and forced a smile, "No, I'm very happy. It's just that my husband didn't notice when I smiled."
"Really?" Yan Heng looked at her eyes and thought for a moment.
After walking for a while, a tall and magnificent house came into sight.
The gate of the house was dilapidated, with four large gold-plated characters "Weiguogong Mansion" hung on the lintel.
However, over the years, the gold stamping of the four large characters has faded a lot.
Xia Xiaorou clenched her fists in her sleeves. If possible, she would definitely repaint these four big words with dazzling gold paint.
Reopen this door and restore the glory of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.
Tian Zhen stopped the carriage in front of the gate and said, "Master, we have arrived."
Yan Heng lifted the curtain and helped Xia Xiaorou get out of the car.
Xia Xiaoying, who was in another carriage, also lifted the curtain to look and found that they had come to a dilapidated house. "Xiaorou, where is this?"
This is definitely not Prince Yan’s Palace.
"It's the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion." Xia Xiaorou looked at the dilapidated gate with mixed feelings.
Hearing that it was the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, Xia Xiaoying hurried forward to take a look.
She is three years older than Xia Xiaorou. When Wei Xueyin died, she was already six years old and learned a few words from Wei Xueyin.
She recognized the four words "Weiguogong Mansion" from the mottled gold paint.
"It's become so dilapidated." Xia Xiaoying sighed sadly.
"You guys wait outside. I'll take Madam Xia in to take a look." Yan Heng nodded to the other members of the convoy and walked up the stairs holding Xia Xiaorou's hand.
Xia Xiaorou looked at the big lock on the door and was about to ask how to get in when Yan Heng took a key from his sleeve and opened the door.
"How did you get the key?" Xia Xiaorou asked in surprise.
Logically, the key to the sealed gate should be in the Dali Temple. How did Yan Heng get it?
"I have my own way to get the key, come in." Yan Heng helped Xia Xiaorou into the door, and then he closed the door behind him.
After entering the gate, there is a tall screen wall in front of you.
Yan Heng took Xia Xiaorou around the screen wall.
Normally, the houses behind the screen wall should all be dilapidated and collapsed.
After all, no one has visited this house for eighteen years.
But to her surprise, although the house was old, it was not dilapidated.
All the windows were intact, the doors were not tilted or collapsed, and there was not a single weed on the ground in the yard.
The flowers and trees in the flower beds were all growing neatly, and there was not a single dead flower or tree to be seen.
If you come back to live there again, you only need to renovate the windows, doors and walls, and there is no need to do much renovation.
Even though Xia Xiaorou had never been to the capital, let alone seen a confiscated house, she could see the problem.
"Does anyone come to clean this house regularly? If not, it shouldn't be overgrown with weeds after no one has lived here for eighteen years."
"I have assigned someone to come and clean up every month." Yan Heng looked at Xia Xiaorou, "The last cleaning was this morning."
Xia Xiaorou opened her eyes wide, "You sent people to clean up? Why...why did you do this?"
"What a stupid woman!" Yan Heng stroked her face, "You are my fiancée, and I am cleaning my fiancée's house."
Xia Xiaorou's heart choked when she heard this.
It turns out that Yan Heng has been sending people to clean?
The house is very big. Yan Heng said it covers about 30 acres.
Since they couldn't finish the walk in a short time, Yan Heng took Xia Xiaorou to the tall building on the hill above the house.
Standing upstairs, you can have a panoramic view of the entire house.
Xia Xiaorou looked around and saw that everything in the house was tidy and clean.
But when she thought of the grudge between Yan Heng and the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, Xia Xiaorou didn't know what to say for a moment.
She just said lightly, "Thank you."
"Xiao Rou, this is what I should do." Yan Heng looked at her eyes.
Xia Xiaorou avoided his gaze and walked downstairs, "My sister must be getting anxious waiting, I should go out now."
"Okay." Yan Heng took Xia Xiaorou downstairs and left the house.
When Yan Heng locked the door, Xia Xiaoying hurried forward, and then Xia Xiaorou asked in a low voice, "What's it like inside? Is it shabby? Alas, no one has lived in it for so many years and it has not been taken care of. I am afraid that the grass has grown to a man's height? The house has collapsed, right?"
Xia Xiaorou shook her head. "No, except that it's a little old, the house is in good condition and there are no weeds."
"Ah? How could this happen?" Xia Xiaoying asked in surprise.
