Tang' Wenqian's mother was deeply moved, as all the people in that line were women.
Little did she know that as she continued to watch, she saw a somewhat familiar face.
Tang Wenqian's mother thought she might be mistaken, but when she turned her head to look at Tang Wenqian, he also had a puzzled expression on his face.
Tang Wenqian clenched his fist and turned to ask a passerby, "Excuse me, who are the women among those exiled prisoners just now?"
"Don't you know? They're from the Shu family, the former governor's family."
Tang Wenqian was well aware of the incident where Governor Shu's family was confiscated and exiled, but he didn't expect that they would be sent to the southwest so soon.
Tang Wenqian's mother, with sharp ears, suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Shu? Which Shu family?"
The person looked at Tang's mother in suspicion and said, "You don't even know which Shu our former governor was?"
Tang Wenqian's mother knew, precisely because she knew, that she was shocked and grabbed Tang Wenqian, asking, "Shu, is it Shu Yu? Is she..."
Tang Wenqian frowned and lowered his voice, "Mother!"
Tang Wenqian's mother immediately closed her mouth but still wanted to clarify. She asked the passerby, "Do you know who the girl at the back of the procession is?"
The passerby replied, "How would I know? She could either be the wife or concubine of the Shu family, or the Miss of the Shu family."
Tang Wenqian's mother wanted to ask further, but Tang Wenqian had already pulled her away.
They didn't enter the city anymore. Tang Wenqian stood from a distance, watching the exiled procession moving farther away, his expression grave.
Only the two of them remained on the road, and Tang Wenqian's mother whispered, "Wenqian, do you think that was Lu Shuyu, the second young miss from the Lu family, or just someone who looks similar? But isn't Lu Shuyu supposed to be in Jiangyuan County? How did she suddenly appear in the capital and be part of the exiled group?"
Tang Wenqian had been silent all along. His mother noticed that he didn't look too good, so she stopped talking.
However, that scene from earlier kept replaying in her mind.
The two of them returned to the village where they were staying. Standing at the door of their room, Tang Wenqian took a deep breath and finally made a decision.
He turned to his mother and said, "Mother, pack up our belongings. We're going back."
"What? Go back? Go back where?" Tang's mother was taken aback.
"To Jiangyuan County." He needed to confirm if that person was indeed Lu Shuyu from the Lu family. Otherwise, he couldn't calm his restless heart.
Tang Wenqian's mother was stunned for a moment, then slapped him on the back. "Have you gone mad? Why would you go back to Jiangyuan County at a time like this? We still have to wait here for the exam results. If we go back, you won't know your ranking."
Tang Wenqian dodged the hit and patiently explained, "Mother, that won't be an issue. If I pass the exam, the official documents will be sent to the county office in Jiangyuan County, and there will be an official messenger who will come to our house to deliver the good news. If I fail, even if I continue to stay here, it will only add to our worries. It's unnecessary."
But Tang Wenqian's mother wanted to know whether her son had passed or not as soon as possible. If they waited for the official documents to be sent to the county office and then to their home, how long would they have to wait?
His mother had a stern face and asked him, "Are you thinking of going back to see if Lu Shuyu from the Lu family is in Jiangyuan County?"
"Yes." Tang Wenqian didn't deny it. "After all, we're both from Shishi Village. I have to know what's happened and have a clear understanding."
"You..." Tang's mother felt that Tang Wenqian was not acting right, but she could never persuade her son.
Although Tang Wenqian appeared gentle and easy to talk to, once he made up his mind, no one could sway him, not even his parents.
i still believe he might like shuyus eldest sister
