Mu Nanjin turned around and saw Lord Zhou, the former Right Vice Minister of Rites, walking towards him with a look of surprise on his face.

"Master Mu, you really are Master Mu. I thought I had seen wrong just now, but I didn't expect you to really come back. If everyone knew you were back, they would definitely be very happy."

"Mr. Zhou, long time no see. I hope you are well."

Mu Nanjin looked at Lord Zhou's face.

【I’m old.】

[There are more wrinkles on my face than before. ]

[Alas, time really makes people grow old. Lord Zhou's physical strength should not be as strong as before. He will no longer run to the brothel when it's time to get off duty like before. ]

Lord Zhou, who was about to reply to her, was almost choked to death by her words.

Could you please not have such irritating thoughts pop up as soon as you come back?

Everyone who had originally welcomed her back now felt unwelcome.

"How are you? After so many years, Lord Mu hasn't changed at all." Lord Zhou asked again, "Lord Mu, you won't leave again this time, right?"

"Won't."

[I will leave after all of you are dead.]

Officials: “…”

Is this still human language?

Lord Zhou was so angry with her that he really wanted to walk away.

Mu Nanjin glanced at the official cars around him and asked, "Why are there so many official cars parked here?"

"Ah..." Lord Zhou's eyes rolled slightly, and he immediately thought of a very good excuse: "It's like this, Lord Tang is going to retire and return home, we are here to say goodbye to Lord Tang, but there are too many of us, and there is no place to park the carriages at the gate of his house, so some of our carriages had to stop on this street, but we didn't expect to meet Lord Mu. Lord Mu, do you want to go with us to meet Lord Tang?"

Mu Nanjin was surprised: "Lord Tang Wenzong is going to retire and return home?"

"Yes, he is now approaching his sixties, and it is time for him to return to his hometown to enjoy his old age."

[I didn't expect that Emperor Wenzong of Tang would be so old? ]

[Since he is almost sixty years old, it is time for him to retire and go home to enjoy his old age. ]

[Anyway, with his ability, he won't be able to get promoted even if he stays for a few more years, so he might as well go back to his hometown and enjoy a peaceful life.]

Officials: “…”

If Emperor Wenzong of Tang heard this, he would probably be so angry that he would work for a few more years before leaving.

"I won't go." Mu Nanjin knew that except for Tang Jingrui, no one else in the Tang family would welcome her. She also didn't want to ruin Tang Wenzong's farewell banquet, so she took out a wooden box from her sleeve and handed it to Lord Zhou: "Please help me pass it to Lord Tang."

Mr. Zhou asked, "Are you really not going?"

"Um."

"All right."

Lord Zhou took the box and said, "I will definitely pass it on to Lord Tang."

"I won't bother you all anymore, we'll meet again when we have time."

Mu Nanjin bids farewell to all the adults.

The officials hiding in the car no longer hid. They got out of the car, greeted Mu Nanjin, and said goodbye to her.

When she entered the Mu Mansion, the officials looked at each other in confusion: "Should we leave now, or do we really go to attend Lord Tang's banquet?"

"Now that I've said it, if I don't go, she'll know."

Lord Zhou pointed at the Mu Mansion and said.

"Then go ahead. We are all colleagues now, and it will be hard to see each other again in the future."

When Emperor Wenzong of Tang received the gift of Mu Nan brocade, he was stunned.

"Mu, Mu Nanjin is back?"

Mr. Zhou asked him back: "Don't you know?"

Emperor Wenzong of Tang shook his head blankly.

Mr. Zhou suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, you are no longer an official, so you can no longer hear her voice. She is back, she came back an hour ago, she knew you were going back to your hometown, and she specially prepared a gift."

Tang Wenzong felt very upset: "Why doesn't she come to see me in person?"

In fact, even without Lord Zhou telling him, he knew clearly why Mu Nanjin didn't want to see him.

So many years have passed, and the Tang family has long let go of the past, not to mention...

Emperor Wenzong of Tang glanced at Tang Liuzhao who was following Jiang Zhenru.

Oh, no, her name is not Tang Liuzhao now, but Tang Xingyi.

Now she has a son and a daughter, and her husband treats her very well. He goes home to accompany her after work every day. Although she has parents-in-law, she has the Tang family as her backer. They dare not bully her, but respect her very much. Her family is harmonious and there is no worry at all.

Lord Zhou said: "Although she didn't come, her intention was there, so why should we care whether she came or not, right?"

Tang Wenzong nodded.

At the same time, there were both crying and laughing in the Mu Mansion opposite the back door of the Tang family.

When Liu Qian and the others saw Mu Nanjin coming back, their eyes suddenly turned red.

Liu Qian cried and said, "Girl, you are finally back. We have been waiting for you for so long. We thought you would never come back again."

They also heard Mu Nanjin's thoughts just now, and wanted to rush out to meet her immediately, but they held back in the end.

Mu Nanjin nodded: "It is indeed possible that he will never come back."

"ah?"

Si Yuhuan quickly wiped her tears and asked, "Girl, will you leave again when you come back this time?"

"No." Mu Nanjin's eyes flashed with doubt: "Are you waiting for me to come back? Why do you know I'm coming back?"

[I didn't tell anyone else that I was coming back, how did they know? ]

Liu Qian, Yang Bo and Xu Cheng were speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain. Si Yuhuan was the smart one, and quickly said, "A colleague told us that he saw you on the street, but he was not sure if it was you, and we missed you, so we came back to see you regardless of whether it was true or not."

"oh."

Mu Nanjin did not doubt her words.

She glanced at Si Yuhuan's official uniform and said, "Yuhuan, congratulations. You finally achieved your goal and became a female official."

"It's all thanks to you, young lady. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be the Dean of the Imperial College today." Si Yuhuan lifted up his official robe and knelt on the ground: "I have to thank you for your kindness in giving me a new life."

Mu Nanjin helped her up: "If you don't have the ability, no matter how much help I give you, I can't make you a female official. Putting this aside, where are the others? Where did they go?"

"They are all married." Si Yuhuan mentioned Xia Yan and the others, her eyes full of smiles: "Now they are all at home taking care of the children. Do you want to call them over for a gathering now?"

"As long as we know that they are doing well, we can talk about the rest later."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, young lady." Si Yuhuan turned her gaze to the Thunder Hammer who had remained silent the whole time: "Young lady, this young man is..."

"He..." Mu Nanjin didn't know how to introduce him: "You can just call him Senior Lei."

Si Yuhuan and Liu Qian immediately saluted to the Thunder Hammer: "Greetings, Senior Lei."

Thunder Hammer nodded and kept staring at Si Yuhuan.

Si Yuhuan felt very uncomfortable being stared at by him and coughed lightly: "I wonder why Senior Lei has been staring at me? Is there something wrong with me?" (End of this chapter)
