"That's great. The young lady and the little lady were talking about you a few days ago. I will send someone to report that you have returned just in time. The son-in-law will come to pick up the young lady soon!" said the servant happily.
"No need, I'll go there myself. Where is the person?" Xiao Shunan walked into the yard.
Just as he was about to walk through the main hall, he saw his father, his second uncle, and his third uncle coming out of the study.
Xiao Shunan immediately stepped forward and saluted Xiao Qinbei and the others, "Dad, Second Uncle, Third Uncle!"
"Are you back?" After defeating the Northern Rong, Xiao Qinbei and the Prince of Jin and his wife drove back to Bian Jing first. Xiao Shunan was left in Qingzhou to sort out the aftermath.
Xiao Shunan nodded: "Yeah, everything has been settled over there."
Xiao Qinmo patted Xiao Shunan on the shoulder and said, "Well, that's good. Shunan is becoming more and more like a big brother now."
The Turkic attack on Jingzhou was just a cover to divert troops from Bianliang.
When Xiao Qinmo found something wrong in Jingzhou, he led his men back to Beijing. He happened to run into the fleeing tens of thousands of Turks. After killing the enemies, he returned to Bianliang.
"Now Ning Yu and Shun An can both stand on their own, so the elder and second brothers won't have to work too hard anymore." Third uncle Xiao Qinyi said with a smile.
"Oh, by the way, your fourth uncle wrote to me yesterday. He learned that Mu'er had returned to Beijing and sent a special letter."
Xiao Shunan frowned, "Fourth Uncle, why didn't you come back?"
Xiao Qinyi scratched his head and said, "Alas, your fourth uncle has become a monk. He said that he is relieved now that Mu'er has returned home, but he brought back a special gift for Mu'er."
"What gift?" Xiao Shunan felt strange. What kind of thing was worthy of his third uncle's emphasis?
"A vase." Xiao Qinyi said.
Xiao Shunan asked suspiciously, "Hmm? A vase."
"Yes, a vase exactly the same as the one in the hands of Prince Jin." Xiao Qinbei added.
Xiao Shunan's eyes widened in shock. "Ah? That's possible, but how could my fourth uncle have it? How did he know about this?"
Xiao Qinbei said: "The one your fourth uncle gave me doesn't have the same function as the one given by Ruanruan or the one given by Prince Jin, but he left a message for Qingmu: everything is caused by fate and everything is born out of the harmony of cause and effect."
"Could it be that Fourth Uncle knows all these things?" Xiao Shunan asked doubtfully.
"Or maybe Fourth Uncle is the one who gave Aunt the vase in the temple, and the old abbot is Fourth Uncle in disguise?"
"I'm not sure about that, but it shouldn't be. The temple does have an old abbot, but your fourth uncle has been different from ordinary people since he was a child. He likes to worship Buddha and recite scriptures, and he talks about weird things all day long." Xiao Qinbei said.
"Perhaps, Fourth Brother had already anticipated this misfortune for Little Sister, and specifically sought someone to help her overcome it."
"Let's not talk about this for now. Go and see your aunt. She has been waiting for you today." Xiao Qinbei said again.
Xiao Shunan nodded and walked towards Xiao Qingmu's yard. As soon as he reached the gate of the yard, he saw several people sitting under a tree in the yard, playing mahjong.
He was very familiar with those people: one was the emperor, one was the queen, one was Ruanruan's grandfather, and one was Ruanruan's grandmother.
At the table next to them, Xiao Dinghan was chatting with Prince Jin, Ruan Qichuan, and Ruan Jingye, while his eldest brother Xiao Ningyu was supervising the third and fourth sons doing handstands against the wall. The youngest son of Prince Jin was staring at them with a candy in his mouth and grinning.
Zhao Chengqian and Ruanruan sat on the stairs at the door, playing with the cat as big as a dog.
"Huh? Second brother, second brother, you are finally back!" Ruanruan looked up inadvertently and saw Xiao Shunan standing at the stone archway, and said in surprise.
She suddenly stood up from the ground, her short legs moving like hot wheels, and she trotted over, spread her short legs, and threw herself into Xiao Shunan's arms.
Xiao Shunan quickly squatted down and hugged her, "Ruanruan, do you miss your second brother?"
"Of course I do! By the way, let's go in."
"My mother and my godmother are in there." Ruanruan tugged at Xiao Shunan's sleeve.
"Hey, Mom just asked when you would be back. If the soldiers at the city gate hadn't come to report that they saw my second brother's men returning to the city, my dad would have sent a car to pick you up."
"Oh oh oh, I thought you forgot about me. You didn't wait for me or tell me such an important thing." Xiao Shunan pinched the soft little face and said with a smile.
Ruanruan pouted and said, "No way, we are all waiting for you."
As they were talking, the door was pushed open by Xiao Shunan, and Xiao Shunan carried Ruanruan around the screen.
Xiao Qingmu was seen wearing a wedding dress, and Princess Jin and the maids were helping her with her makeup.
"Second Young Master." Upon seeing this, the maid immediately bowed and saluted.
"Aunt..." Xiao Shunan walked over.
Xiao Qingmu smiled when he heard this and immediately stood up from the stool, "Shun'an, you are finally back?"
Xiao Shunan stared at Xiao Qingmu's makeup, nodded, and said with a smile: "Aunt, you look really good like this."
"Is your leg okay?" He lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Qingmu's standing legs, and said in surprise.
"Yeah, I got better a few days ago, thanks to Ruanruan for acupuncture for me." Xiao Qingmu nodded.
Xiao Shunan looked at Ruanruan with a smile, "Our Ruanruan is awesome!"
Ruanruan lowered her eyes and rubbed her nose, "Hehe!"
Xiao Shunan looked back and noticed that Princess Jin was beside him. He quickly bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Princess Jin. I beg your forgiveness for any impoliteness."
Princess Jin smiled and said, "You're welcome. You and your niece haven't seen each other for a long time. It's time for a good chat."
Ruanruan nestled in Xiao Shunan's arms and smiled innocently: "Hehe, godmother combed my hair so well, my mother looks the most beautiful today!"
"Ruanruan is the child who can see mom and dad get married."
