Tuoba Jun was still very surprised to see Lu Yuan coming to find her. After all, she had run out of the house angrily in front of him before, and he didn't chase her out. But today, he went against his usual behavior and took the initiative to find her. Tuoba Jun was happy in her heart, but also a little hesitant.

Facing Lu Yuan's apology, Tuoba Jun's tone was a little unhappy: "Sorry? Lu Yuan, this is the first time I hear you say sorry to me. I wonder what you are apologizing to me for?"

Lu Yuan stammered, "Yes, just in the alley before..."

"In the alley?" Tuoba Jun smiled and said, "Why, are you feeling guilty because you kissed me in the alley?"

Lu Yuan suddenly lowered his head, looking a little embarrassed, as if Tuoba Jun had seen through his little thoughts.

"Don't worry, we women from the Western Regions are not as delicate as you women from the Central Plains. A kiss is nothing, you don't have to take it to heart. Besides, it was just an accident, it's not your fault, and I won't force you to do anything!" Tuoba Jun said lightly.

In fact, Tuoba Jun did not take the kiss with Lu Yuan to heart. Instead, he felt a little happy in his heart. After all, he was more than happy to be so close to his beloved. However, considering Lu Yuan, Tuoba Jun did not express this joy directly.

"No, I have to take responsibility. This is my fault after all, and I am sorry for you!" Lu Yuan clenched his fists and shouted at Tuoba Jun. These words seemed to have been suppressed in his heart for a long time, as if he had used up all his strength to say them, full of explosive power, penetrating Tuoba Jun in front of him.

Tuoba Jun felt Li Yuan's determination and saw the sincerity in his eyes. It was the first time she saw Lu Yuan with such an expression. Tuoba Jun was stunned at first, and then smiled knowingly.

"Since you want to take responsibility so much, I will give you this opportunity. You just need to promise me two things!" Tuoba Jun slowly walked in front of Lu Yuan.

"Whatever it is, as long as I can do it, I will do it without hesitation, even if it means going through fire and water!" Lu Yuan answered excitedly.

"It's very simple. The two things are: I want you to marry me and follow me back to the Western Regions!" Tuoba Jun stared at Lu Yuan.

Seeing Lu Yuan lost in thought over what he said, Tuoba Jun didn't press him any further. Instead, he quietly observed Lu Yuan's reaction. Seeing that he had been thinking for a long time without answering, Tuoba Jun said, "If you don't want to, you can refuse. Anyway, I don't care much about those things. The reason I brought up these two things is just to give you a chance to forgive yourself. As for whether you do it or not, that's your decision!"

After Tuoba Jun finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave. At this moment, Lu Yuan suddenly grabbed Tuoba Jun's hand and said, "I agree. I can marry you, and I can also go back to the Western Regions with you!"

Tuoba Jun stood there in surprise. She had originally made this request just to scare Lu Yuan and had never really thought that Lu Yuan would agree. But now that Lu Yuan had really agreed to these two things, Tuoba Jun was a little at a loss. The two of them just looked at each other and the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

Today is a special day and very important to the Shen family because today is the day when Shen Lingli officially returns to Beijing.

Father Shen and Mother Shen were waiting at the city gate early. After all, children are the flesh and blood of their parents. Even if their children do many wrong things, their love for their children will never fade.

"Lingli, you're back. I missed you so much!" As soon as Shen's mother saw Shen Lingli, she rushed over and hugged her tightly in her arms. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was a little excited and choked.

"Mother, it's all my daughter's fault. I made you sad!" Shen Lingli also hugged Shen's mother.

"Okay, Lingli is back. She must be tired after traveling all the way. Let's go back home quickly!" Father Shen said from the side.

"Yes, it's good that you're back. Look, you've been away for so long, you've lost a lot of weight and looked much more haggard. Go home quickly, it will be fine when you get home, and you won't be bullied anymore!" said Shen's mother. This is the love a mother has for her daughter.

"Where is Yuan'er?" Shen Lingli saw that her parents were there, but Shen Yuan'er was the only one missing. She suddenly felt a little bad.

Mother Shen said: "Yuan'er, she didn't come today, don't blame her. She hasn't been feeling well recently, so I didn't force her. When you get home, you'll be able to see Yuan'er!"

"Really? It turns out you're not feeling well!" Shen Lingli was very dissatisfied with Shen Yuan'er. Today, the entire Shen Mansion came to welcome her, but Shen Yuan'er didn't come. Doesn't that mean she looks down on her from the bottom of her heart? So Shen Lingli secretly kept this matter in mind, thinking that she would get it back double in the future.

Shen Lingli is not a generous person. Even though she has been exiled to the border for such a long time, a person's character and temperament will not change much because of this. For someone like Shen Lingli who is extremely jealous and arrogant, it will make her feel more hatred.

"Father, I think I'd better not go back home now. I have been seriously reflecting on myself during the time I was demoted. I really feel that I have done something wrong, so I want to apologize to His Majesty in person. Please grant me this!" Shen Lingli pleaded.

"Okay, you have grown a lot during this period of time. You know your mistakes and can correct them. You are indeed a good child of our Shen family. There is no rush for this matter. Your father will arrange it for you after you return home!" Father Shen was very pleased to see Shen Lingli's sincere look.

After Shen Lingli returned home, she simply washed up, and then Shen's father called Shen Lingli and Shen Yuaner over. As soon as Shen Lingli saw Shen Yuaner, she held her hand, looking like a loving sister. However, Shen Yuaner knew Shen Lingli's face very well and expressed indifference.

At Shen Lingli's request, Shen's father arranged for Shen Yuan'er to accompany Shen Lingli to the palace to meet the emperor. Upon seeing the emperor, Shen Lingli put on a pitiful, self-reflective expression and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Lingli knows that her sins are unforgivable. During those days at the border, Lingli thought a lot. What she did before was truly wrong. Today, Lingli is able to return to the capital under Your Majesty's grace. I hereby apologize to Your Majesty!"

Seeing Shen Lingli so sincere, the emperor couldn't bear to blame her anymore: "Alright, the most wrong thing can be improved. As the daughter of the Shen family, you must be careful in what you say and do, not only for your father, but also for your Shen family!"

"Lingli will definitely remember your majesty's teachings!"

After bidding farewell to the emperor, Shen Lingli's well-behaved and sensible appearance changed instantly. He mocked Shen Lingli in every possible way and showed his disdain for Shen Yuaner without any concealment.

"Chen Yuan'er, do you think you're so great just because you're the eldest daughter of the Shen family? I don't think you're worthy at all!"
