Chapter 696: Meet Niva Again
Xia Wanniang reached out and helped her up, brushing off the dust on her body.
Xiao Chiye also stood up with his four children and let them say goodbye to their families.
Aunt Xiao sat in the carriage, looking back from the window.
When she got home she said she had no appetite and went straight back to her yard.
Xiao Chiye and several children looked at her worriedly.
Xia Wanniang looked at Xiao Chiye and said, "Take the child to eat first. I'll go see mother."
Xiao Chiye nodded.
When Xia Wanniang arrived at Aunt Xiao's yard, she saw her sitting under the eaves in a daze.
He walked over and sat down next to her, without saying anything, just quietly accompanying her.
It took a long time for Aunt Xiao to speak: "Mrs. Wan, do you think there is an afterlife and rebirth?"
Xia Wanniang was stunned for a moment: "Yes."
Aunt Xiao didn't ask why, but she seemed to be alive again: "I'm fine, I've been busy all day, go back and rest."
Seeing that she had recovered her mental state, Xia Wanniang prepared to leave: "Mom, if you have anything to say, we are a family."
Aunt Xiao smiled and nodded.
After the envoys from various countries left one after another, Xia Wanniang went to court a few more times. There was no intrigue in the court now, and people began to discuss serious matters instead.
The silt in the river needs to be cleaned up to avoid floods, and there is also farming, military equipment, and old cases in various government offices.
The handling of some unjust, false and wrong cases, and also the running of schools and taxation, etc.
Xia Wanniang, Xiao Chiye and the others basically just listened and didn't express any opinions.
Now that Wu Xiao has delegated the power to Wu Hanyu, he just listens from the side and only points out things he thinks are wrong. Most of the time, he just becomes a bystander.
Xiao Chiye and Xia Wanniang told Wu Xiao about the relocation of the grave.
Wu Xiao was silent for a long time before he nodded in agreement: "Your father has guarded the Northwest for his entire life. The Northwest now is what he wants to see. Take them back to see it!"
Xiao Chiye looked at Wu Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing wrong in the capital, we will return to the northwest."
Wu Xiao looked at Wu Hanyu and said, "Well, you have been in Beijing for more than half a year. It's time to go back."
Seeing that Wu Xiao didn't say anything, Xiao Chiye began to prepare for the relocation of the grave.
On the day of the grave relocation, they told Aunt Xiao about it and did not let her go. Instead, they carefully dug out the coffins themselves and placed them in the space, waiting to take them away when they left.
The outside of these coffins are made of stone, so there is no need to worry about them breaking.
Xu Li's son Pipi is having fun now. Old Madam Xu feels reluctant to let them go back to the northwest when she knows that they are going back.
Old Lord Xu has no way to leave the capital now, but he has been blamed by Old Madam Xu for a long time.
Xia Wanniang and Xiao Chiye were called to the palace before leaving.
Wu Hanyu looked at the two of them and said, "Wait until the grand court meeting is over before leaving."
"It's very important?" Xiao Chiye looked at him helplessly.
Wu Hanyu nodded: "Yes."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the two of them again: "What do you think about Niwa and the others?"
Xia Wanniang looked at him in surprise: "I thought they had left a long time ago."
Wu Hanyu sighed: "I thought they would leave after the wedding, but after they saw the cannon, they wanted our help even more and refused to leave no matter what."
He placed a pile of letters in front of them and said, "Look, there are letters every now and then, and I can't chase them away."
Xiao Chiye looked at the letters on the table, all of which were letters begging for troops to be dispatched: "I really don't know why they are so persistent."
Xia Wanniang glanced at it casually and said, "This kind of paranoia is like someone else."
The other two knew who she was talking about, but just leaving it alone was not a solution.
Xia Wanniang: "I will go and talk to them. If we can talk, then we will talk. If not, then we will just have to let them leave Daxia."
Wu Hanyu nodded: "This is the only way."
After Xia Wanniang came out of the palace, she went straight to the post station. Now only Niwa and her group lived here. All the previous delegations had left and returned to their own countries.
The post station official saw her and saluted immediately: "Your Highness the Princess."
