It's late at night.
After cursing Lian Ji all night, Asuo finally got tired.
After Asuo left, Lian Ji also turned off the lights and went to bed, but she was pretending to go to bed with her clothes on, keeping her eyes open and waiting with a bright look on her face.
She would soon be able to leave this place that she hated so much, and she, her parents, and her brother would soon be free.
It was not until the early morning, at the agreed time, that she heard a slight noise outside the window, and she quickly got up and went to the window.
"Miss Lian Ji, it's me."
Zhichang's voice came from outside the window.
Then he opened the window and said, "Your family has been brought out safely. I will take you to reunite with them now."
Lian Ji was so excited that she lowered her voice and said, "Thank you!"
“I’m sorry…”
Zhichang jumped into the house, then picked up Lianji and took her out of the window, heading towards the wall...
Outside the city.
Lian Ji finally reunited with her parents and younger brother.
After years of physical and mental torture, Lian Ji's parents have become unrecognizable, and her younger brother also has a sallow face and is extremely thin.
However, there was a glimmer of hope in the eyes of several people at this moment.
The whole family hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Zhi Chang advised: "Everyone, it is not advisable to stay here for long, let's leave first."
Then he took out a thousand taels of silver and a hundred taels of silver: "This is what my wife gave you. Keep it. When you get to the place, someone will take care of your new indentures..."
Lian Ji's family was very grateful and expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
Zhi Chang took out an exquisite box and said to Lian Ji, "This is something our wife specially ordered to be bought. It can be used to cover up Miss Lian Ji's beauty. If you need it, you can use it."
Lian Ji was stunned. She was born with beauty, and if no one protected her, it would be easy for her to get into trouble.
Today, she wants nothing but a simple life with her parents. Beauty is harmful to her and she doesn't want it.
Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince's wife even thought of this for her. She was extremely grateful: "Madam, I have no way to repay your kindness..."
Without further delay, Lian Ji and her family boarded a carriage and, escorted by Zhi Chang and the others, departed from this place...
The afterglow of sunset.
On the outskirts of the capital, Su Li and his group were moving forward at a steady speed.
Su Shen was so excited that he simply opened the carriage door in order to see the city gate clearly.
"Finally we're in the capital!"
He couldn't help but sigh, "The capital city is different. Even the city gates are so majestic and imposing. I wonder how much more magnificent the imperial palace must be."
Su couldn't help but lift the curtain and look outside, her eyes full of curiosity. The farthest place she had ever been to in her life was Guangning Province. Now, thanks to her children, she could also visit the capital.
Su Zheng was much more steady, but from the smile in his eyes, one could tell that he was in a very good mood.
However, Abao, who was sitting next to him, was very quiet.
The couple already knew about his situation. While they marveled at the child's perseverance, they felt more distressed for him.
Thinking of this, Su hugged Abao, patted his head gently, and sighed silently.
Inside the carriage, Su Li said, "Let Xiao Wu take A Bao back to the Champion's Mansion later."
The Duke has already reported to the Emperor that Su Li is the princess. There is no reason for them to keep the Emperor waiting, so they must go directly to the palace as soon as they return to Beijing.
As her parents were the ones who adopted her, they naturally had to go to Beijing to meet the emperor.
Ji Tinglan nodded and was about to speak when the carriage suddenly stopped and Su Shen's surprised voice came from outside: "Second brother! Are you here to pick us up?"
Su Shen jumped off the carriage and walked up to Su Jin, looking very excited: "Second brother, did you just get off work?"
Su Jin patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Yes, I just came from the military camp. Fortunately, I didn't miss you. Was it hard on the way here?"
Su Shen shook his head and smiled, "It's not hard. My sister's carriage is very comfortable to sit in, and the journey is not hard at all."
At this time, Su Li and his wife also got off the carriage.
Su Jin stepped forward: "Eldest sister, brother-in-law."
"Ah Jin." Su Zheng and his wife got out of the carriage behind them. Mrs. Su smiled and said, "Ah Jin, my son."
Su Jin hurried over to support her: "Dad and Mom, Ajin is unfilial and couldn't go to pick you up in person."
Su laughed and scolded, "Silly child, your sister has already said that you are very busy with official duties. You have just taken up the position, so official duties are the most important."
"Thank you for your consideration, Mom and Dad. You've worked hard along the way."
"It's not hard." Su Zheng and his wife laughed. As long as they could be with their children, no matter how far the journey was, they would not feel tired.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Su Li urged: "Let's go into the city first, the city gate will be closed soon."
"Ah Shen, our parents will be going to the capital with us soon. You and your second brother should go back home first."
Su Jin couldn't help but wonder: "Why did my parents want to enter the palace?"
It was normal for my sister and brother-in-law to enter the palace. After all, one of them was a court official and the other was a court lady.
But my parents have no official positions or imperial decrees, so why would they enter the palace for no reason? They don’t even enter the house, but go straight into the palace.
Could it be that something happened that he didn't know about?
"It's not appropriate to talk here. A Shen will explain it to you later."
Su Shen said mysteriously, "Second brother, I know everything. I'll tell you later."
Su Jin nodded. Judging from everyone's attitude, it shouldn't be a bad thing. So he felt relieved.
Su Li then instructed Xiao Wu: "Take A Bao back to the Champion's Mansion later."
"I understand..."
Then everyone got on the carriage.
When they arrived at the city gate, Ji Tinglan showed their identity token and they were quickly allowed to pass.
After the group entered the city gate, Su Jin and Su Shen took A Bao to the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion, while Su Li's carriage and Su Zheng and his wife's carriage went straight to the palace.
