Chapter 220 Relatives

On the second day, Emperor Wen of Qi once again received Tuoba Hun in the Qinzheng Hall!

Looking at the gift list presented by Tuoba Hun, Emperor Wen of Qi smiled with satisfaction: "Prince Tuoba is indeed straightforward!"

"Hmph!" Tuoba Hun looked at Emperor Wen of Qi with an unwilling expression and said, "I've presented the gift list, but where are the people?"

Emperor Wen of Qi smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, Prince Tuoba. We will return the people naturally!"

"Hmph, our Chi-Le prince is very precious. If anything happens to my third brother, I will not tolerate it!" Tuoba Hun narrowed his eyes and said threateningly.

"Prince Tuoba, we don't like to hear what you said. We have taken good care of Prince Tuoba!" Emperor Wen of Qi smiled and said nothing. Someone in the queue of civil servants on the side spoke loudly.

"Hmph, I won't listen to your sweet words. I won't feel at ease until I see the person!" Tuoba Hun snorted coldly!

"Okay, then please invite the Third Prince Tuoba into the palace!" Emperor Wen of Qi said with a smile.

"Brother!" Huo Xifei brought soldiers and brought Tuoba Lang into the hall. When Tuoba Lang saw Tuoba Hun, he hurried forward and shouted excitedly.

When Tuoba Hun saw Tuoba Lang, although his face showed no expression, his voice was filled with joy and excitement: "Third brother, I'm sorry for putting you through so much these past few months!"

"Brother!" Tuoba Lang hugged Tuoba Hun: "I finally see you!"

"Don't be afraid, big brother is here!" Tuoba Hun patted Tuoba Lang's back gently and comforted him. Then he held Tuoba Lang's shoulders and looked him up and down. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Tuoba Lang, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty!" Tuoba Hun narrowed his eyes, bowed to Emperor Wen of Qi, and said in a cold voice: "Tuoba Hun thanks Dali for taking care of my brother in the past few months!"

"Haha, Prince Tuoba, there is no need to be so polite!" Emperor Wen of Qi smiled faintly and raised his eyebrows.

"In that case, Your Majesty, Tuoba Hun will take his leave! I will set off for home tomorrow morning!" Tuoba Hun finished speaking, and as if inadvertently glanced at Yuan Qifeng, he said to Tuoba Lang: "Third brother, let's go!"

"Okay, big brother!" Tuoba Lang looked at the people around him unkindly, then left the Qinzheng Hall with Tuoba Hun!

"Oh, so arrogant!"

"That's right, he's really arrogant!"

"Humph, barbarians indeed!"

…

After seeing the two Tuoba brothers leave, all the civil and military officials started whispering again, while Huo Xifei stood silently by. He saw clearly the look Tuoba Hun gave Yuan Qifeng just now. It seemed that Tuoba Hun was targeting Yuan Qifeng!

The departure of Prince Tuoba and his entourage from the capital was just as ostentatious as their arrival a few days ago. Almost half of the people in the capital gathered on the roadside to watch, as if they were seeing them off along the long street!

"Left?" Huo Xifei asked as he put the brush into the pen holder.

"Yes, Prince!" Huo Wu said, "Today, the two princes of Chi Le left in a very high-profile manner. The people of the entire city practically lined the streets to see them off. Everyone knew they were leaving the capital!"

"Humph!" Huo Xifei narrowed his eyes: "You're really too high-profile!"

After thinking for a moment, Huo Xifei instructed, "Huo Wu, starting tonight, you will stay at the Huainan Marquis's mansion and see who the Huainan Marquis will contact!"

"Yes!" Huo Wu replied.

"Be careful!" Huo Xifei said again: "If there is danger, don't fight to the death!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Second Miss, Second Miss!"

Early in the morning, Yuan Ziyu was practicing sword in Wuyou Pavilion when she heard Qingzhi's voice: "Second Miss, Sister Dingxiang from the old lady's side is here!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ziyu put away her sword, took the handkerchief handed to her by Qingying, wiped her sweat, and then heard Dingxiang's voice: "This servant greets the Second Young Lady!"

"Sister Dingxiang, please don't be so polite!" Yuan Ziyou gave her a hand and asked, "What's going on with Grandmother?"

"Yes!" Dingxiang said hurriedly, "Someone has come from the old lady's family. The old lady asked me to invite the second young lady to go to Shousong Hall to meet someone!"

Yuan Ziyou frowned upon hearing this and asked, "So early?"

"Yes!" Dingxiang replied, "We arrived shortly after dawn. The old lady meant to meet the relatives first and let them go to rest, so that they wouldn't be unfamiliar with each other when they came back. If they saw each other in the garden, it would be embarrassing!"

"Okay, I got it. Go tell Grandma that I'll be there soon!" Yuan Ziyu nodded and asked, "By the way, have my parents and brother been notified?"

"Second Miss, the master and the two young masters left the house before dawn, and the lady already knows about it!" Dingxiang said hurriedly.

"Okay, I got it!"

Yuan Ziyu hurriedly changed into clothes suitable for meeting guests, and went to Shousong Hall with Qingying and Qingzhi.

Along the way, Yuan Ziyu began to think carefully. If she remembered correctly, her grandmother's family members had never come to the Yuan Mansion in her previous life. It was said that it was because her great-grandfather and great-grandmother had both passed away, and her grandmother's contact with her family was not very close after that, so she had never met her grandmother's family members in her previous life!

And in this life, what on earth was the reason that made my grandmother's family travel thousands of miles to the capital?

You know, my grandmother’s hometown is not close to the capital. It is in Zhanyang in the south, which is more than a month’s journey from the capital!

It is not easy to come to the capital from Zhanyang.

Just thinking about this, Yuan Ziyu brought Qingying and Qingzhi into Shousong Hall. Before they entered the house, they heard a burst of sharp laughter: "Aunt, our cousin is really amazing. He was actually named a first-rank general by the emperor. A first-rank general, how prestigious that is, you have no idea. When we in Zhanyang heard that Feng'er was named a first-rank general, we were all very envious. If my parents were not too old and could not withstand the fatigue of the journey, they would definitely come to the capital to see the general's mansion!"

"My nephew's wife is so kind!" Madam Yuan spoke modestly, but the pride in her tone was unmistakable: "My eldest son has done well and lived up to the reputation of the Yuan family."

"Hahaha!" The one who was called the nephew's wife laughed again when she heard this, "Not only did she not disgrace the Yuan family's reputation, she didn't even disgrace the Cui family's reputation!"

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Ziyu brought Qingying and Qingzhi into the house!

"Oh, this must be my cousin's daughter, oh my, she's really pretty!"

Before Yuan Ziyu had the chance to pay his respects to Madam Yuan, he was dragged in front of a woman in her forties. The woman looked Yuan Ziyu up and down, praising him. Her eyes seemed to wish she could see a flower on Yuan Ziyu's body!

At this time, the elder lady heard: "Second girl, this is your great-uncle's eldest daughter-in-law, Tang. You can just call her aunt!"

"Cousin-in-law!" Yuan Ziyu hurriedly took two steps back and bowed to Mrs. Tang.
