Gu Yunru opened the envelope and found that it was indeed Xue'er's handwriting. Xue'er had recovered and returned to Tianshan with Xuelang. As for Xue Linglong, she seemed to have disappeared from everyone's sight overnight.
"Where is Miss Xue Linglong? Where did she go?" Gu Yunru looked at the blurry letter and felt that there was something wrong.
Xi Niang stood up and said, "Miss Xue was willing to cultivate the Gu with her own flesh and blood to save Xue'er, but she was reduced to ashes. When Ji Heng found out, she took the remaining bones back to Qingcang Mountain, and Xue'er was disheartened and took the snow wolf back to Tianshan. Tianshan is where they should go."
When she said this, tears were still in her eyes. Gu Yunru took a deep breath and clenched her fists unconsciously.
Late at night, everyone finished their meal in silence and went up to the attic, holding Yaya in their arms. Rong Zhen saw that she looked depressed, so he tried hard to make her laugh, but Gu Yunru's mouth still showed no sign of rising.
"Ma'am, don't be so depressed. This is not good for Yaya's brother."
"Who said it must be a boy?" Gu Yunru couldn't help but retort with a stern face. Rong Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and sat next to her.
"My lady, Lord Ao sent me a letter saying that Chong'an has successfully entered the Dali Temple to take up an official position, and Huan'er is also going to be engaged to Yuwen Huai. He wants to invite us to the wedding in a few days. Do you want to go?"
"Of course I have to go!" Gu Yunru thought about it and put all the worries behind her.
Half a month passed and everything seemed to be back on track. Gu Yunru touched her bulging belly and set off for the capital with Rong Zhen.
"My dear, please walk slower and be careful!" Rong Zhen followed her carefully, fearing that she might fall or trip.
Gu Yunru and Rong Zhen returned to the palace to live. Everything remained the same, including the same magnificent courtyard. Here, Gu Yunru couldn't help but think of many things in the past, including the first meeting with Rong Zhen. Ten years had passed in between, but they still firmly found each other, even though they had experienced many hardships.
"My dear, I have asked someone to clean up the yard. Tomorrow is the day of Huan'er and Yuwen Huai's wedding. You must not cry when the time comes. Do you understand?"
"How can I be that fragile?" Gu Yunru laughed instead of getting angry, and then she wandered around the yard alone, where she found many shadows of her past.
When Shen Aojun learned that the two had come all the way back to Beijing, she walked into the palace with a smile on her face. Looking at Gu Yunru who was pregnant, she hurriedly walked up to her, took her hand and sat beside her.
"Yun Ru...you are..."
"Yes, I'm pregnant again..." Gu Yunru smiled shyly, looking at Shen Aojun and said, "I don't know what kind of person Master Yuwen is. You didn't tell me in detail in the letter. We're getting married tomorrow. Is it too late to find out now?"
"Don't worry, Huan'er. I know very well what kind of person Yuwen Huai is, my daughter. You don't need to worry about this at all!" Shen Aojun smiled and just stared at her belly.
"What's wrong, Aojun?" Gu Yunru felt that her eyes were a little strange and the meaning was unclear.
"It's nothing, just some emotion..." Shen Aojun smiled bitterly, but Gu Yunru saw envy in her eyes. Perhaps she had been busy taking care of Huan'er and An'er all these years without considering herself, so it was inevitable that she felt a little emotional.
"Aojun, these two children have found their own way out, and it's time for you to plan for yourself. You have always been stubborn and always got stuck in a rut. After so many years, it's time to let go of things that you should let go of." Gu Yunru looked at her complicated expression. Everyone knew what Gu Yunru was talking about without her saying it.
Shen Aojun nodded, her eyes blurred by tears, and smiled, "Yes, I have never forgotten Rong Zhen over the years. I always thought that if you two separated, I could take advantage of the situation.
But after thinking about it, I think I am too naive. Forget it, let everything take its course. " He said, patting her hands helplessly.
Early the next morning, Gu Yunru set out with Rong Zhen to go to Yuwen Mansion to attend the wedding banquet.
The beating of gongs and drums was so lively, and the wedding procession with tall horses passed through the streets of the capital, allowing all the people to witness this luxurious and grand wedding. Seeing this wedding banquet, I couldn't help but think of Rong Zhen, who had used the same formation and the same band back then. I smiled with emotion and said, "Husband, do you feel like you're back to the time when we were together?"
"Of course I have, and I still remember it clearly!" Rong Zhen grabbed her hand lovingly, his eyes never leaving her face.
Huan'er, wearing a glittering wedding dress, was supported as she married Yuwen Huai in the hall. Looking at the two newlyweds, Gu Yunru's eyes suddenly became wet with tears. Rong Zhen quickly reached out his hand to wipe her tears and said to her, "You promised that you wouldn't cry at Huan'er's wedding banquet. Why did you break your promise?" There were some jokes in his words. Knowing that Gu Yunru was hard on the outside but soft on the inside, she burst into laughter again after a while.
"Hateful!" Gu Yunru said coquettishly, and slowly nestled in his arms. After attending Huaner's wedding banquet, the two immediately set off back to Qizhou City, where they settled down. Within half a year, Gu Yunru gave birth to a baby boy and named him Rongsheng.

Soon after, Xiangping and Qiao Er also had their own children, and Qizhou City became more and more prosperous. Gu Yunru cultivated a lot of talents for Qizhou City. These talents were scattered in various cities and states, continuing the local splendor.
Three years later, Gu Yunru stood at the entrance of Huajianlou with her pregnant belly, looking at the bustling crowd. At this time, a boy and a girl ran out and surrounded her knees. The little boy pouted and complained, "Mom, my sister bullied me again!"
"Lululu, who told you to eat Aunt Xiangping's steamed jujube flower cake!" The little girl looked extremely overbearing. Rong Zhen walked forward and shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
“Yaya, you have to give in to your brother and stop scaring him!” Rong Zhen looked at Yaya sternly. Yaya moved to Gu Yunru’s arms. Gu Yunru touched her little bun and smiled gently, “Okay, you two sisters, go to the kitchen to help when you have nothing to do. Don’t run around or you might fall!”
"Okay, mother."
Rong Sheng made a face at Yaya and ran to the backyard. The two siblings started to chase each other and fight again. Gu Yunru smiled helplessly, holding Rong Zhen's hand and said, "Look at you, you gave birth to this pair of funny kids, and you are annoyed by these two children every day."
