Chapter 210 All Surprises
Logically speaking, since the scientific expedition was held last year, it shouldn't be held again this year.
Unfortunately, the officials caused quite a few troubles in just one year, so the emperor decided to reshuffle the deck.
Otherwise, the emperor feared that while his own people were still alive, the country would already be ruined by these people.
Wei Dongning silently kept this matter in mind.
Judging that Gu Song will be very busy lately, she will tell the kitchen tomorrow to prepare more nourishing dishes for him.
I just wonder if my own dad is also very busy lately.
It's been a week since she went back.
It seems I should go back and offer my condolences tomorrow.
While Gu Peiyan chatted with Gu Song for a while, Wei Dongning had already planned what to bring back to the Marquis's residence the next day.
He glanced up at Gu Peiyan and saw that his conversation with Gu Song was still going on, so he began to listlessly call out to Xiao Wu in his mind: "Xiao Wu, are you back from your business yet? Chat with me."
However, no matter how she called out, she did not receive a response from Xiao Wu.
She had no choice but to continue listening to the two men discussing politics.
After listening for a while, her thoughts began to wander involuntarily.
She feels like she's listening to the evening news.
Realizing she had this thought, Wei Dongning almost burst out laughing, but thankfully a sliver of reason held her back.
Fortunately, Gu Peiyan and Gu Song's conversation did not last too long.
In about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Gu Song waved for them to leave.
As soon as they left Gu Song's courtyard, Wei Dongning took Gu Peiyan's arm and put most of her weight on him, saying, "Gu Peiyan, I'm going back to the Marquis's residence tomorrow. I haven't been back for several days."
"Okay, I imagine your parents-in-law must miss you a lot. I'll pick you up this afternoon."
"How about we have dinner at the Marquis's residence before coming back?"
Gu Peiyan never refused her ideas: "I'll listen to whatever you say."
Unexpectedly, this impromptu decision left Wei Dongning empty-handed.
The gatekeeper recognized the carriage as belonging to the Gu family and hurriedly came forward to report the situation at the Marquis's residence: "Third Miss, you're back. Madam has taken the eldest young master and the second young lady to the temple to offer incense."
What the gatekeeper didn't say was that if she had returned even a quarter of an hour earlier, she would have run into their carriage leaving the mansion.
Wei Dongning paused in her attempt to get up and get out of the car, and exchanged an awkward glance with Xiao Fu.
She wanted to give Wei Liangzhe and Bai Suyun a surprise, but she didn't expect to receive a surprise herself first.
Wei Dongning let out a long sigh.
Through the curtains Xiao Fu had drawn back, they stared at the doorman: "Where's my dad?"
"The Marquis is still in the palace and hasn't returned yet."
Wei Dongning was completely speechless: "Fine. When they come back, remember to tell them I was back."
"Yes." The doorman lowered his head, answered, and returned to his seat.
"Young Madam, shall we proceed now?"
"go home."
Wei Liangzhe was kept in the palace not because of anything major.
It's simply because the Emperor has had so many troubles lately, and he wants someone to have a drink with him.
After thinking it over, the only one whose drinking capacity could rival his was Wei Liangzhe.
So when the court session ended, they simply kept him in the palace.
Wei Dongning only learned about this when Gu Peiyan told her when he came home that night.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have come back during the day. I would have waited for my father to return at the Marquis's residence." Wei Dongning stroked her chin thoughtfully.
"Don't worry, my father-in-law's alcohol tolerance is among the best in Beijing, he won't get drunk."
"You think too much."
"Ok?"
