Although Duan Hai did not cause trouble openly these two days, everyone could see what was happening secretly. It was obvious that he did not want Princess Yongping to leave. However, Princess Yongping was extremely disappointed with this place, especially with this incompetent man, so Princess Yongping had to plan for her own future.
Upon learning that Duan Hai was eavesdropping outside, Princess Yongping asked her eldest daughter to come over. After saying these words, she also let Duan Hai know that he had no intention of going to the capital, and that he was only thinking about his son, so he was going to the capital. She asked Duan Hai to dispel his concerns in this regard, and they would set off tomorrow. If Duan Hai changed his mind now, Princess Yongping would really miss this opportunity.
Princess Yongping pondered this opportunity for a long time. If she missed it, she would never be able to go to Chang'an again in the future. Although she would still have a chance to see her son, Duan Hai would be even less likely to give in at that time. So even if she had to use her daughter as a shield, she had to leave this mansion first.
After hearing what Princess Yongping said, Duan Hai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his wife's heart was still at home. Besides this rough man like him, she also had her biological eldest daughter. Even if she went to the capital, she would still miss this place.
"What are you talking about? We both still have to rely on our son in the future. Now he has such a good opportunity to make a name for himself in Chang'an City, but he is still a child after all. You must teach him well and don't let anything happen to him. My daughter has so many people at home. When the time comes, you can ask her sisters to come back and help. They are all her aunts, so nothing serious will happen to her."
Duan Hai walked in directly from outside. He didn't even use his brain. If you hadn't been outside listening to what was said at the wall, how could you know what the mother and daughter were talking about? Seeing Duan Hai walking in from outside, Princess Yongping really had no thoughts at all.
"It's better to find some more stable servants. After all, my son is a boy. Sooner or later, he will have to take charge of things outside. If he doesn't train now, he may not be able to accomplish anything in the future. I will also instruct my sister to take care of my son more, and this matter will be over. But it's different for my daughter. If she is not taught well, she will suffer for the rest of her life in her husband's family."
Princess Yongping knew what to say. No matter what Duanhai said, even at the moment of leaving home, Princess Yongping had to show her strong resistance to going to Chang'an. Only in this way would Duanhai let her leave. If she showed even the slightest intention to go to Chang'an, she would probably not be able to leave.
"You just don't know which is more important. There are so many people in the family. Is there no one who can help us teach her? At worst, you can send her to the queen in the palace. Don't you still trust your own mother? But it's different with your son. Although Yongning is your aunt, after entering the palace, especially the imperial palace in Chang'an City, who knows what the situation is like there? It's better for you to go there. Think carefully for your sister. In the future, our wealth and honor will be mixed with Chang'an City."
Duan Hai naturally didn't want his wife to go to Chang'an City. It was a big melting pot. He didn't know what his good wife would be like when she came back after she went there. However, this guy also had a rebellious mentality. When he heard that his wife didn't want to go there, he tried to persuade her to go. What's more, what he said was the truth.
Take the current situation of the Duan family for example. No one in the entire Nanzhao Kingdom looks down on them. If they want to make the family situation better, Chang'an City is an indispensable link, especially their sister-in-law. If she can give Li Xiang a son or daughter, then it would be even better to have a son there. That would be a cousin who would definitely be able to take care of him in the future.
"As a woman, I'm not very familiar with the place. If I really go there, I might not be able to offer any advice to my sister, and instead, it might delay her business. It's better for me to stay at home and entrust my son to His Highness. That way, His Highness will trust us more."
Princess Yongping was a thoughtful person. She held her daughter in her arms while talking. Duan Hai saw it all. It was obvious that his wife was absent-minded when she spoke. She stayed only for the eldest daughter in front of her. Duan Hai put all his affairs on his son. How could he allow his wife to neglect his son for the eldest daughter?
"Don't be so sentimental here. Can't you see clearly what's more important? There's nothing more to say now. We must go to Chang'an. I've asked the people below to pack your luggage. Tomorrow, when Yongning and His Highness leave, you should take your son with you."
Duan Hai waved his hand, indicating that the matter had been settled and no one else would say anything more about it. Yongping's face was full of worry, but he felt relieved in his heart. If he hadn't played out this scene just now, Duan Hai would never let him leave the house.
That night, some were happy and some were sad. Princess Yongning was also sent to the palace. It was better for her to spend the night in the palace. Li Xiang spent it alone in the guesthouse. People were about to leave home for Chang'an City. It was normal for family elders and brothers and sisters to have some private conversations. Was Li Xiang going to stop them?
Li Xiang took this opportunity to summarize the news from various sources. The undercover personnel have been arranged. Except for dozens of people who have no way to hide, the rest have already arranged the environment around them. It is estimated that in another half a month, they will be able to convey the news to Chang'an City. Those news are real news from the Nanzhao Kingdom, and Li Xiang can make correct judgments based on these news.
In his reply, Prince Zhennan had already told Changsun Wuji that even if he wanted to launch an armed rebellion, he would be more than 90% sure that he could control it all. As for those monks who were unwilling to surrender, Prince Zhennan was definitely a ruthless person and would simply massacre them.
Li Xiang also knew that the King of Nanzhao had a secret army. If the two sides really clashed, he would be the one to suffer.
