The Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh, poking her with her finger. "You're truly courageous! Let me ask you, if I hadn't come, what would you have done? Would you have held Huang Yanjing hostage, and then, would you and your family have escaped?"
"If Yan Suizhi has no way out but death, we won't care about it." Xie Wanyun said frankly.
"I guessed it!" The Queen Mother sighed and added, "The Emperor doesn't want to show up, so I'll have to do this. Wanyun, don't hold a grudge against the Emperor, okay?"
The Queen Mother was the Emperor's biological mother after all. No matter how wrong her son was, in her heart, it was all excusable. Xie Wanyun naturally understood the Queen Mother's thoughts. Now that Yan Suizhi was safe and sound, she didn't need to dwell on these things anymore.
She quickly bowed respectfully and said, "How can Wanyun dare to accept what you said, Queen Mother? Our family can only be grateful for the great grace of heaven, how dare we harbor any resentment."
The Queen Mother finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Hurry back and see Yan Suizhi. After all, he's been in prison for so long. Don't let that environment ruin his health. I'll send a capable imperial physician over later to give Yan Suizhi a good rest. Don't delay your marriage."
The Queen Mother had solved a big problem and was in a good mood. She rarely joked around.
Xie Wanyun blushed and couldn't help but complain, "Empress Dowager!"
The Empress Dowager had already ordered the sedan chair to be lifted, and Xie Wanyun stepped aside. She had originally wanted to ask about the Xie family, but on second thought, she felt that it was better not to rush.
The emperor was so concerned about his reputation that he asked the empress dowager to intervene in the matter of wrongly accusing Yan Suizhi. What's more, if she continued to pursue this old case from many years ago, it might backfire if the emperor became angry and embarrassed.
Forget it, let's go to Yan Mansion first. He has been in prison for these days, and I don't know if he has been hurt.
After Yan Suizhi was imprisoned, the Yan Mansion had been managed by Xie Wanyun, and the servants had long regarded her as the mistress.
When Xie Wanyun arrived at his bedroom, Yan Suizhi had already taken a shower and changed his clothes, and Yan Jinbai was combing his hair personally.
His face was full of energy, his dark eyes were bottomless yet bright as stars. His features were tinged with the traces of age, yet still possessed a striking beauty.
He smiled and extended his hand to Xie Wanyun. "Meimei, you're back."
Xie Wanyun stepped forward, held it tightly, and then pulled Yan Jinbai along.
The three pairs of hands finally came together.
There were tears in her eyes.
After many years of separation and going through many hardships and dangers, the family was finally reunited.
Thousands of words were clearly on the tip of their tongues, but they held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, unable to speak.
It was Yan Jinbai who broke the silence first. He smiled and said, "Father, Mother, I think there's a big problem right now. If this problem isn't solved, it's going to be difficult to deal with."
Both of them were surprised and asked him what was going on.
Yan Jinbai said with a smile, "Now my mother lives in Mu Garden, my father lives in Yan Mansion, and my Prince Rui's Mansion has been completed. The Ministry of Rites is arranging servants for me. We are a family of three, so we can't live separately, right? So where should we live? We have to decide first."
Xie Wanyun's face flushed red. Yan Suizhi just smiled and said nothing.
Being teased by their own son like this, both of them felt a little embarrassed, but more of it was sweetness.
Yan Suizhi looked at Xie Wanyun's blushing cheeks and evasive eyes, and said with a surge of emotion, "Listen to your mother. Wherever she wants to live, we'll live there."
Xie Wanyun feigned anger, glared at him, and said, "Since I've married you, naturally... I should follow my husband's lead."
Yan Suizhi laughed heartily. He put his arm around her shoulders and said, "With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?"
Xie Wanyun blushed and pushed him away, but failed to do so. She then let him go and said to Yan Jinbai, "You want to go back to live in the palace..."
Seeing her son's aggrieved look, she immediately added, "The Yan Mansion is naturally still your home. The place you lived in when you were little seems too small now, so mother has prepared a large courtyard for you. Go and see if it suits your taste. If you don't like it, we can change it."
Yan Jinbai immediately smiled happily. "Mother still loves me."
