Chapter 452 Tang Mengyin Settles in the Imperial City

"Madam, are we really not going back to Lihua Village?"

A maid beside Tang Mengyin looked at her with confusion, with a hint of reluctance and attachment in her eyes.

This question seemed to break the tranquility around them and make the whole air heavy.

Tang Mengyin turned her head slightly, her eyes fixed into the distance, as if she was recalling something.

After a while, she slowly said, "No, we won't go back. From now on, we will settle down in the Imperial City, where I was born and raised."

Her voice was calm and firm, revealing an unshakable determination.

Hearing this, the two maids looked at each other and then responded in unison: "Yes, Madam, we will be wherever you are."

Their tone was full of loyalty and obedience, without any hesitation or questioning.

For these two maids who have been with Tang Mengyin since childhood, their master's decision is everything.

No matter what unknowns and challenges are waiting ahead, as long as I can follow my wife, I will feel at ease.

At this moment, the gentle winter sunshine shines on them, illuminating three resolute faces.

Occasionally a breeze blows by, and although it feels like a knife cutting your face, it blows away some of the sadness of parting.

"Madam, what are our plans for the future?"

Another maid blinked her big, lively eyes and asked again with curiosity on her face.

Tang Mengyin opened her red lips and replied: I have two other shops in the imperial city, one is a ready-made clothing shop, and the other is a rouge shop.

In addition, there is a small farm outside the city, which has a bumper harvest of grain every year, and the emperor has not confiscated it. "

If we manage it carefully in the future, our days will surely be smooth and happy."

After that, she turned to look at the maid named Xiaoqiu beside her, her eyes full of satisfaction: "Xiaoqiu, you have been learning embroidery skills from me since you were a child. Now you have learned a lot. I will leave the clothing store to you."

Then, Tang Mengyin turned her gaze to another maid, Xiao Xia, and continued, "Xiao Xia, I'll leave the rouge shop to you..."

After Tang Mengyin methodically assigned various tasks to the two clever and obedient maids, they responded in unison without hesitation: "Yes, Madam!"

"Please rest assured that we will do our best and will never let you down."

As soon as the words fell, the two maids quickly turned around and started cleaning.

However, at this moment, a slight sound of footsteps came from far away.

Tang Mengyin looked sideways and saw King Li coming.

He stood tall and straight, with an imposing manner, and behind him followed a group of strong servants, some of whom were carrying heavy wooden furniture on their shoulders, while others were holding various tools, ready to get to work.

Prince Li smiled as he walked up to Tang Mengyin, bowed to her, and said in a clear voice: "Sixth aunt, your nephew has specially brought people to help you open up the house."

Then, he looked around and couldn't help but sigh: "This Tang Mansion has been idle for more than ten years. Although King You sends people to clean it several times every year, it is still unable to resist the erosion of time."

"Now this courtyard is overgrown with weeds, some of which have grown as tall as a person."

After saying that, he shook his head slightly, revealing a hint of regret.

Many years ago, in the solemn and magnificent imperial city, the Tang Mansion was like a dazzling pearl, shining with eye-catching light.

This family is famous for its profound cultural heritage and outstanding academic achievements, and has become a topic of discussion among everyone.

Although no one in the Tang family had ever held a high-ranking official position, its status as a family of scholars was unquestionable.

Tang Mengmiao's grandfather was a great scholar. He had personally taught two extremely noble emperors and passed on all he had learned in his life.

Her father was no less capable than her. Many princes and powerful ministers in the court had studied under him and listened to his teachings.

However, fate always seems to play tricks on people.

Originally, relying on the strength and reputation of the Tang Mansion, it was entirely possible to train a group of outstanding officials to serve the country.

However, it was precisely because the Tang family's reputation was too prominent that it aroused the emperor's suspicion.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble or even disaster, the Tang family resolutely established a family rule: no descendants in future generations are allowed to serve as officials in the court!

From then on, this regulation acted like a heavy yoke, restraining the Tang family's descendants from pursuing official careers.

But even so, the Tang family still holds on to their reverence for knowledge and persistence in morality, and continues to pass on the family's glory and mission.

It’s really a pity that it has become like this now!

Who could have expected that a woman like Tang Menglu would appear in the Tang Mansion?

She teamed up with her beloved man, King You, and killed everyone in the family.

This series of tragic events eventually led to the decline of the Tang family.

Tang Mengyin, who was far away from home, also heard about these past events.

At this time, Tang Mengyin looked at King Li with gratitude and said softly: "King Li, thank you for your help this time."

She knew that it would take a long time to clean up the huge Tang Mansion with just the strength of the three of them, the master and the servant.

Now that we have help from others, it couldn’t be better.

"It doesn't matter. With only the three of you girls cleaning up such a large mansion, I'm afraid it will take you forever."

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, so I led everyone here to do our part."

After saying this, King Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

However, in fact, King Li took the initiative to come and help Tang Mengyin out of pity for her miserable situation.

He was very clear about everything Tang Mengyin had experienced. When he learned that she would take root in this imperial city from now on and manage her own shop in the imperial city, he felt that he could help, so he gave her a hand.

After all, it is not easy for a weak woman to support her own sky on her own!

I'm afraid only those who have experienced it personally can truly understand the difficulties and obstacles that one has to face.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry for Tang Mengyin, but at the same time he secretly admired her perseverance and determination.

Therefore, I couldn't help but feel an urge to lend a hand.

This emotion does not come from utilitarianism or political scheming, but purely from the kindness and compassion in human nature.

In this complicated world, King Li's seemingly cold heart actually has a soft side.

At the same time, King Li stared at Tang Mengyin, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.

He seemed to catch a glimpse of a familiar and mysterious light from her. Tang Mengyin was very much like his mother.

Although he had never seen his biological mother, he always felt that his mother was like Tang Mengyin, a gentle, kind and capable woman.
