After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven ended, the envoys from the two countries left the palace under the guidance of the palace servants.
After returning to the villa, Qiao Zhongguo discussed the date of return with his two children.
"Boss, Jiaojiao, now that Nanli's matter has been settled, and Dad has successfully completed the mission assigned by the emperor, it seems that we can set a date for our return."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qiao Tianjing and Jiaojiao both looked anxious.
Seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo waved his sleeves and said, "Okay, seeing that you two are both clinging to your family, Dad will go to the study to draft a letter and submit a letter of resignation to the Lord of Nanli tomorrow!"
Qiao Zhongguo strode out as he spoke. He was still reserved at first, but he almost ran once he stepped out of the hall.
When Jiaojiao saw this, she laughed so hard that she covered her stomach.
Don't think he doesn't know that the letters written by mother were all rubbed by father and became hairy!
Two days ago, she got up early and went into her father's room. Wow, the letter was spread out on the bedside. She might have read it over and over again a hundred times before she fell asleep last night!
There was also a smile in Qiao Tianjing's eyes. He shook Jiaojiao in his arms, his face full of emotion.
When he returns home this time, Pei'er will definitely not remember him.
Xian'er... I don't know if Xian'er had a good rest. Before leaving, I told Xian'er to put herself first, but I'm afraid she didn't listen carefully.
Once his thoughts turned to his home, he wished he had wings on his back. The next morning, Qiao Zhongguo really submitted his letter of resignation to the palace.
Meng Guxue was busy all day yesterday and slept soundly. When she woke up, she heard Xiaotao say that the Qiao family had resigned.
When Meng Guxue heard the news, she felt like she was struck by lightning!
When she rushed to the villa and saw the Qiao family really packing their luggage, tears rolled down her cheeks.
Jiaojiao had been waiting for Meng Guxue. When she saw her coming, she hurried out to greet her. She saw that Meng Guxue was already in tears, and she felt both distressed and amused.
"Sister Meng, you are now the wife of the king, you can't do this anymore."
"Ah! Jiaojiao! I just want to stay with you forever!"
Meng Guxue went forward and picked up Jiaojiao, howling so heartbreakingly. A'er, who was following behind, had never seen Meng Guxue like this before, and was so scared that his eyes almost popped out.
Upon seeing this, Jiaojiao immediately led Meng Guxue into the house and comforted her with sweet words for a long time before she stopped crying.
"Jiaojiao, do you really not have a random door? The kind that, once opened, you can spend the days of 1, 3, and 5 with me, and the days of 2, 4, and 6 with your family."
Meng Guxue asked pitifully with tears in her eyes.
Jiaojiao laughed so hard, "Sister Meng, if I had that good thing, I would spend all twelve hours of the day with you."
Meng Guxue also knew that she was daydreaming, but when she thought about the Qiao family leaving Nanli Kingdom, she felt an empty feeling in her heart.
Because in her eyes, Qiao Zhongguo is the guide who changed her, and Jiaojiao is the confidant who accompanies and helps her all the way.
When they talked about separation, not to mention Meng Guxue, even Jiaojiao felt a lump in her throat and wanted to cry.
When she was just pregnant, she felt like she was facing a formidable enemy when facing Meng Guxue. Who could have thought that they would become close friends now?
"Sister Meng, Nanli is your home from now on. Go ahead and show your talents and ambitions here!"
"I have a feeling that the Emperor will definitely form an alliance with Baili Chengyou. Once the issue of the Northern Kingdom is resolved, perhaps the world in the future will be what you and I have been waiting for, a truly peaceful and prosperous era!"
When Meng Guxue heard this, he couldn't help but feel ambitious and nodded heavily.
"Jiaojiao, I will definitely not lose face for us time travelers. A child who grew up under the red flag must hold his head high!"
Two days later, on September 29th, the envoys of the Yong Dynasty finally set out for home.
Meng Guxue insisted on sending him to Baopiling personally, and Baili Chengyou was very indulgent and agreed without hesitation.
So Meng Guxue happily stayed with Jiaojiao for another five days, and they finally reached the border of Nanli Kingdom.
Here, it's time to say goodbye.
Although they were prepared in their hearts, Meng Guxue and Jiaojiao still dropped their golden beans at this moment.
The two were just about to leave when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind them. It turned out to be Baili Chengyou himself who came over.
Jiaojiao was originally worried that Meng Guxue would feel lonely on the way back, but now that she saw Baili Chengyou coming to pick her up, she instantly felt much more relieved.
Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing came forward and exchanged a few words with Baili Chengyou, and everyone said goodbye to each other.
Qiao Tianjing took Jiaojiao from Meng Guxue's arms and said to Meng Guxue in a gentle voice, "Take care, Miss Meng."
Meng Guxue cried loudly and nodded heavily at Qiao Tianjing.
"Take care, Brother Qiao. Thank you for all your efforts in teaching me. If I can learn a little bit, I think I can be more careful."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Qiao Zhongguo standing beside her.
Qiao Zhongguo had a smile on his face, and his eyes were gentle as if he was looking at a junior.
Meng Guxue met Qiao Zhongguo's gaze, her heart ached suddenly, and she said sincerely:
"Master Qiao, Xue'er doesn't know how to put it, but in Xue'er's heart, you are indeed like a father."
"Back then, in the fog, you were the one who lit a bright light for Xue'er. I will never forget such a kindness."
When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, he was filled with emotion. He had witnessed Meng Guxue's growth all the way, working steadily and step by step.
"Ms. Meng, follow your heart and do what you want. Don't hesitate or doubt in the future. Just keep going forward firmly as always."
After hearing these instructions, Meng Guxue's eyes became sore and she nodded heavily.
She finally looked at Jiaojiao, and they smiled at each other with tears in their eyes. Everything was said without words.
Yong Chao and his entourage mounted their horses and carriages and set off again.
At this moment, Jiaojiao suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly leaned out of the car window, waving at Meng Guxue who was standing there:
"Sister Meng, don't forget the lucky bag I gave you. Take care! Sister Meng!"
Meng Guxue covered her chest when she heard that. There lay quietly a brocade bag with exquisite embroidery. It was given to her by Jiaojiao.
"Jiaojiao, I'll remember this! Take care of yourself too!"
Meng Guxue cried out and waved her arms desperately.
Baili Chengyou was standing beside Meng Guxue. Seeing this scene, he felt a lot of emotions in his heart.
Seeing Qiao Jiaojiao's figure gradually disappearing in the wind and sand, he couldn't help but sigh:
"How wonderful it would be if she was born in my Nanli Shen family..."
Baili Chengyou did not avoid Meng Guxue when he said this. When Meng Guxue heard it, her waving arms suddenly stiffened and she immediately turned to look at Baili Chengyou.
Baili Chengyou saw Meng Guxue's frightened face in the rain and smiled as he embraced her.
"She is very clever. She gave me a meaningful look just now. She knows very well that I must have guessed it a long time ago. Only you are still stupid and stupid, thinking that I have been kept in the dark."
When Meng Guxue heard this, her mouth opened in shock.
What? Jiaojiao already knew that Baili Chengyou had guessed it?
"That... this... you..."
Baili Chengyou knew the worries in Meng Guxue's heart. He shook his head gently and smiled:
"You are really so selfish. Are you worried that I will hurt her?"
"She saved my mother and brought you back to life, and protected you from harm, and she also helped us escape from the punishment of Heaven. If I repay such kindness with hatred, it would be truly unforgivable."
"I just feel regretful. I feel regretful that the Shen family did not receive this divine help. However, we should be content..."
Baili Chengyou said this with some melancholy, and then carried the stunned Meng Guxue onto the horse. The two of them rode together and headed south.
Meng Guxue turned his head and took a last look at the wind, sand and afterimages behind him. His heart felt sour, but no longer empty, but filled.
It’s time for you to walk the rest of the way by yourself!
An unknown life, a brand new chapter, she will make a name for herself in this world with the blessings of Lord Qiao and Jiaojiao!
"Baili, let's go home!"
Baili Chengyou couldn't help but smile when he heard Meng Guxue's spirited tone.
He hummed softly, held the person in his arms tightly, and rushed southward away from the capital.
Go home!
