It was six days later that Xiao Heng finally settled all the children.
During this period, Liao Jingxu had already rushed to Yongchang Prefecture to take charge. Yongchang Prefecture was just an ordinary prefecture, but it was very different from other prefectures. That is, strictly speaking, this place had never been completely ruled by the imperial court. Of course, it is different now.
Liao Jingxu brought Mrs. Liao and others over.
He also brought many people who had been sent by the imperial court before, including Pang Yuan.
After Pang Yuan came over, he first went to apologize to Su Rong again. His apology was quite sincere: "It's all my fault. I was too emotional before and misunderstood you and the county lady. I apologize to you here."
His attitude was very sincere, and he even knelt down towards Su Rong.
Su Rong was embarrassed to keep nagging him with such an attitude of asking for forgiveness, so he simply let him get up: "Forget it, just be more careful next time, it's nothing serious."
Pang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was prepared to be embarrassed, he was, after all, a young man of noble status. His biggest setback in the past was being scolded by his elders. Now that Su Rong was so easy to talk to and had given him the matter, he felt a lot more relieved.
Compared to things between men, things between women are much simpler.
Mrs. Liao and Mrs. Yuan came for the weaving field. As soon as they arrived, they discussed the site selection with the Ji family and the Yang family. They were very busy. Mrs. Yuan brought Niuniu with her and handed her to Su Yao with a smile: "You have been nagging for more than a month. You have to hug her well."
The fate between people is sometimes really wonderful, just like Niu Niu has always been very close to Su Yao, and now when she sees Su Yao, she can't help but rush over and hug Su Yao's neck, burying her head in Su Yao's shoulder, and calling her sister in a baby voice.
Su Yao held her in his arms, feeling his heart soften. He smiled and patted her butt: "I miss Niuniu too. Has Niuniu been obedient recently?"
When she held Niu Niu in her arms, Mrs. Yuan felt relieved. She packed her things and went outside with Mrs. Liao to choose a place.
Pang Rou came over in the afternoon and saw Niuniu clinging to Su Yao like a little tail. She couldn't help but burst out laughing: "This little girl is really a ghost. She kept talking about you all the way."
Actually, it is a bit strange. Pang Rou and Su Yao did not spend much time together, nor did they have frequent contact. There was even a misunderstanding in between. However, whether it was Su Yao towards Pang Rou or Pang Rou towards Su Yao, there was no grudge between them. On the contrary, Pang Rou was obviously very close to Su Yao.
She sat opposite Su Yao, watching Niuniu and Su Yao playing together, feeling a little envious: "Niuniu doesn't like me this much. I've been with her for quite a while. I don't know how this little girl can recognize people so well."
After a joke, Pang Rou got down to business: "County Lady, I have something to tell you."
Su Yao put Niuniu aside, handed her a piece of milk cake, and nodded at Pang Rou: "Just say whatever you want to say."
Her attitude was very friendly, so Pang Rou breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Su Yao seriously: "County Lady, I think many people must have told you before that I came here to see the Crown Prince."
Su Yao thought about what Pang Rou was going to say, but she never thought it would be this. She was a little interested, so she patted Niuniu's head and let her play with herself. Then she looked up at Pang Rou and asked softly, "So? Miss Pang has come all the way to see me now. Do you really mean this?"
Su Yao's attitude was very calm, and he didn't look like someone was coveting his things at all.
Pang Rou was also indifferent. She shook her head at Su Yao and said directly without any reservations, "No, I want to tell you that my family does have this intention, but don't worry, I have no interest in it. I will never sacrifice myself for the sake of my family and sell my body. Besides, it's useless. After all, anyone with eyes can see that His Highness only has you in his heart and eyes. How can he care about anyone else?"
Pang Rou did not say those polite words. After saying these words, she continued to speak sincerely: "In fact, I have wanted to tell the county lady a long time ago that I came to Yunnan because Doctor Shen can regulate my body, or in other words, can reduce my pain. The county lady doesn't know that my health is not good. Every summer and winter are very difficult. My mother often tells me that I am made of glass and I am afraid that it will break if touched. It is for this reason that my mother agreed to let me come. Of course, they all hold a little hope that I can get cured in Yunnan and get the favor of your highness."
She made it so clear that Su Yao couldn't say anything else. She could only raise her eyebrows and said, "You don't have to tell me these words."
"Yes, I don't need to tell you these family secrets." Pang Rou nodded in response to Su Yao's words, but she soon smiled again: "But I want to say that I like the county lady very much. You are decisive and direct, dare to love and hate, and you work hard to get what you want, and you will not give up what you get because of others' provocation. It's easy to say, but it's really too difficult to do these things. I happen to be a person who really wants to be such a person, so I think that if I can be friends with you, the county lady, I should be able to learn a little bit."
The two looked at each other. It was the first time that Su Yao was defeated in front of a girl.
There is no other reason, it's just that Pang Rou is too eloquent and good at speaking.
Who can harden their heart after hearing so many nice words
She chuckled.
When Niu Niu saw her laughing, she suddenly started clapping and laughing for some reason.
Pang Rou tilted her head to look at her, then looked at Niuniu, and asked her expectantly, "Would the county lady be willing to be friends with me?"
Being chased and asked if they could be friends was a very novel experience for Su Yao, but to be honest, it felt really good. She smiled and looked at Pang Rou: "I thought we were friends when we were working in the weaving field together."
At least Pang Rou was very kind to those children. Her kindness was not the condescending kindness that a young lady showed to her servants, but rather it was out of compassion from the bottom of her heart. People with this kind of empathy were actually worth making friends with.
