Mr. Pei had discussed his leave with the emperor a day in advance. After all, he had already agreed to marry his daughter, so the emperor didn't dare to push him too hard.

Therefore, no one expected that the Pei family would escape on this day, but the emperor was suspicious by nature, and when he left the court, he kept the man's family who was granted the marriage and ordered him to go to the Pei Mansion to take a look after the court.

As a result, I found that no one answered the door after knocking for a long time, so I knew something had happened.

The Royal Guards broke open the Pei family's gate and found that there was only a carriage left inside, and even a mosquito had been taken away.

The emperor was so angry that he killed the eunuch who delivered the message and scolded the family who had arranged the marriage.

The Imperial Guards also came to report soon, saying that the Pei family had escaped through a secret passage, but the secret passage had been blocked and they could not catch up.

The emperor was so angry that he killed another eunuch who delivered the message.

The emperor was killing like crazy, while Pei Jiao and Xu Ning were lying on the deck looking at the moon.

Pei Jiao had been tense for so long, and finally felt her nerves relax a little.

The cold wind was blowing, but Pei Jiao didn't even feel it.

Xu Ning, who was watching the moon with Pei Jiao, wrapped himself in three layers of clothes, leaving only his eyes exposed.

Xu Ning couldn't bear to ruin Pei Jiao's good mood anymore, so he said, "Sister Pei, why don't we go back to the room?"

The sound coming from Xu Ning's clothes was buzzing, and a wave came over and drowned out her voice.

Pei Jiao heard Xu Ning's voice, but didn't know what she said.

Pei Jiao came closer and asked, and Xu Ning couldn't bear it anymore and pulled her back to the cabin.

As soon as Xu Ning entered the cabin, she felt a wave of heat rushing towards her. She suddenly tore off the clothes covering her face and called out to Old Lady Xu, "Grandma! Quick! I want two bowls of ginger soup!"

Old Mrs. Xu had long been accustomed to Xu Ning's habit of calling her grandmother whenever she had something to do. As soon as Xu Ning called her, she asked the servants to prepare two bowls of ginger soup. Xu Yuan picked up a plate of candied fruit and they surrounded them.

Pei Jiao was so relaxed that he almost froze to death.

If she hadn't suddenly come over, Xu Ning would have discovered that she was as cold as ice and would have had to stay frozen on the deck for at least a while.

Xu Ning drank a bowl of ginger soup before she felt alive again. Her period had just ended and she was still feeling very cold.

Pei Jiao was a little dazed after drinking the ginger soup, so Xu Yuan helped her into the room to rest. Xu Ning held the plate of candied fruit and grinned at the sweetness.

When Xu Yuan came out, Xu Ning was so hot that he had to take off two layers of clothes and was lying on a bench, swinging his legs.

"Ningning, what are your plans after returning to the valley?" Xu Yuan found a place to sit down, reached out and took a candied fruit from the plate held by Xu Ning and played with it.

After returning to her room, Old Mrs. Xu came out again. Seeing Xu Ning and Xu Yuan watching over her, she left again.

Xu Ning pushed the unfinished candied fruit aside and asked Xu Yuan vaguely, "Aunt Yuan, do you have any plans?"

Based on Xu Ning's understanding of Xu Yuan, she usually doesn't discuss these things unless Xu Yuan has something to do.

Xu Yuan stared at the candied fruit in her hand and hesitated for a while. Then, seeing Xu Ning's encouraging look, she told him what happened.

It turned out that during those two days in the capital, Xu Yuan met members of the original killer organization.

Those people didn't know about Xu Yuan's existence and were newcomers, so Xu Yuan wondered whether he should go back.

Xu Yuan went back not to continue working for the organization, but to find out who the organization was working for and then destroy both the people and the organization.

Xu Yuan had the map of the capital's tunnels given by Xu Ning, and her martial arts skills were no problem at all, but she had finally settled down, and she was afraid that her thoughts would cause the Xu family to become turbulent again.

After annihilating the pirates, Xu Yuan originally only wanted to stay in the Xu family until she grew old. However, this trip to the capital made her see those people and recall those things, and she felt that she needed to do something.

Xu Ning swallowed the candied fruit in his mouth and told Xu Yuan his thoughts: "Aunt Yuan, I don't object. I'm not worried about your safety. When you are sure to go, I will give you some self-defense items. But you have to talk to your grandparents yourself. I dare not speak for you. I'm afraid that your grandparents will not be able to see you later and will want to beat me every day."

Xu Yuan was an absolutely loyal member of the Xu family who was deducted 100 million points from the treasure box. Although Xu Ning couldn't figure out how the treasure box was calculated, after so many years, everyone could see whether Xu Yuan was sincere or not.

Old Mrs. Xu and Old Man Xu also raised her as their daughter. When Xu Yuan was going to the capital, the two elders were the most worried.

"Thank you, Ningning. I'll talk to my parents."

Xu Yuan was very happy. She put the candied fruit into her mouth. It was sweet, just like what she felt at Xu's house.

Xu Ning raised an eyebrow and threw another candied fruit into his mouth.

After sailing for a few days, the boat finally docked and the group finally arrived in Haicheng.

Xu Ning took the Pei family to have some fun in Happy Valley on the day it was closed, and then returned to Taoyuan Valley by water.

It was already spring, and the servants of Taoyuan Valley had already begun planting. Pei Jiao's courtyard had been completed, and a small but lively ceremony was held to celebrate the move-in.

The weather in Haicheng is much warmer than in Beijing, and the cold wind is blocked everywhere. If you wear two or three layers of clothes in the valley, you will feel hot by noon.

Pei Jiao had been well behaved for a few days since she caught a cold the night she got on the boat. After arriving at the valley, she dragged Xu Feng to the beach or the lake, saying that they were going fishing.

Xu Feng became bolder with someone by his side. He sneaked out with Pei Jiao several times, only to come back covered in mud.

Xu Feng didn't know whether Pei Jiao was beaten or not, but he received a mixed beating from his father, mother and grandmother.

Xu Ning and the others were cracking melon seeds while watching the fun. Old Man Xu said quietly, "It was Xiaobao who got beaten a few years ago!"

Xu Ning paused while cracking melon seeds, then reached out and took a candied fruit to block Old Man Xu's mouth. "Grandpa, eat this, it's so sweet."

After you eat the delicious food, you can’t say bad things about me anymore.

The thin old man smiled, his wrinkled mouth moved, and his toothless gums sank inward as he chewed his lips.

Xu Ning thought it would be better not to run away and stay in the valley.

In Beicheng, Jiang Yan dealt with the northern border defense affairs, left Jiang Yi behind and returned to the capital.

The situation in the capital changed, and Jiang Yan's journey back was not smooth. Jiang Yan almost slept every day wearing the clothes that Xu Ning gave him.

In Taoyuan Valley, Xu Yuan also sought the opinions of the two elders of the Xu family.

The reasons Xu Yuan gave made it impossible for the two elders to refuse.

She said, "Father and Mother, Ningning has already discovered that the person behind this is the other faction allied with the current emperor. I'm going to the capital not just to avenge my childhood. The capital is in chaos now. It's either the other party who will die or we will die. Ningning and Xiaofeng's martial arts are not as good as mine. If I go there, I can not only help Jiang Shaoheng obtain more intelligence, but also cooperate with him from inside and outside when necessary..."
