Su Li took his parents out of the palace, and Duke Ji and Grand Tutor Xu also went with them.
It was already dark when Su Li and his party entered the city. The recognition process in the palace had lasted for so long that it was already late at night.
On the way, Grand Tutor Xu said cheerfully, "Ah Li, when you have time, go back to the Xu family to see your grandmother. She will definitely be happy to know that you are doing well."
Su Li naturally agreed: "Don't worry, Grandfather. I will go to visit Grandmother as soon as I finish my work at the A Li Mansion."
Neither the original owner nor Su Li herself had ever seen her grandparents. Now that she has a family of grandparents who likes her, it must be pretty good.
"Okay, okay! Hahaha!"
Grand Tutor Xu was very happy, his face full of smiles.
Princess Rongfu used to have no close relationship with the Xu family, and her old wife was sad for a long time. Who would have thought that she was not their granddaughter at all.
Now, Ali is the Xu family's biological granddaughter, and she is so considerate and sensible. It is really a blessing for the Xu family.
Grand Tutor Xu bowed solemnly to Su Zheng and his wife, "Master, Madam, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you two. Thank you for raising Ah Li and educating her so well..."
Su Zheng quickly said, "What are you talking about, Grand Tutor? Ever since we adopted her, Ah Li has been our daughter. This is what we should do."
Duke Ji laughed and said, "Alright, alright, stop thanking me. No matter how good Ah Li is, she is now the daughter-in-law of the Ji family. If anyone needs to thank anyone, it should be me who should thank you all, hahaha!"
Grand Tutor Xu smiled helplessly and said, "You, you are such a pervert..."
Several people laughed happily.
What else could Su Li do? They were all elders, so he could only smile along.
As they were talking, they walked out of the palace gate. Not far from the gate, Su Jin and Su Shen were waiting for them.
Seeing them come out, Su Shen hurried forward: "Dad, Mom, Sister, you are finally out!"
Su Jin also came over: "Dad, Mom, and Eldest Sister."
He then bowed to Grand Tutor Xu and Duke Ji, who had come out together, and said, "Grand Tutor Xu, Duke."
Seeing his second brother like this, Su Shen also followed suit and bowed to the two of them.
Su Jin originally wanted to remind him, but she didn't expect him to react so quickly, and she felt relieved.
Grand Tutor Xu and the other two didn't know Su Shen, but Su Jin and the others did. They both nodded and greeted him, "Young General Su."
Then he asked, "Who is this child?"
Su Li immediately introduced them to the two: "Grandfather, Grandfather, this is Su Shen, my third brother."
Grand Tutor Xu chuckled and said, "So it's Ah Li's third brother. He's quite handsome, not bad, haha!"
Duke Ji knew that Ali had two younger brothers from her mother's side, but this was the first time he met Su Shen.
He was indeed a very good-looking child: "I remember your eldest sister said that you were still studying, but were you preparing for the imperial examination?"
Su Shen replied obediently: "Yes, I will prepare for the Tongshi exam next year."
"Oh, Tong has passed the test, that's good, study hard!"
They are all promising children, the Duke thought to himself.
"Thank you, Lord. I will."
Su Zheng and his wife were naturally happy to see their son being praised.
"Alright, alright," said Grand Tutor Xu, "My uncle and his family have been traveling for days, and it's already late at night. I'm sure they're tired. Let's stop talking and let them go back to rest."
Duke Ji nodded and said, "Ali, it's getting late. Hurry up and take your parents back. We will all go back too..."
"I understand, Grandpa, take care..."
After Grand Tutor Xu and Duke Ji left first, Su Jin said, "Eldest sister, I have already prepared a room for my parents and Ah Shen to stay in. They can go back with me first. We can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."
Su Li nodded: "Okay, go back and rest for a night, I will come to find you tomorrow."
It doesn't matter where Mom and Dad live, it's just temporary anyway. Dad has been granted the title of Earl of Ci'en, and a mansion will be given to him soon. When the time comes, Mom and Dad will also move into the mansion.
Zhuangyuan's Mansion and Su Jin's Mansion were on the same street. The family went back to their respective residences only after they reached Jinxiu Street together.
As soon as he returned to the Zhuangyuan Mansion, Su Li asked Xiao Sanzi to go back to the palace gate to wait for Ji Tinglan, and then found Xiao Wu to question him.
"How's Po?"
"He's already asleep, not making any noise. He did ask me where I wanted to go to file a complaint, but I told him not to worry and that I'd tell him when my wife came back. I told him to eat, so he ate, and then he went to sleep quietly."
Su Li could naturally understand his feelings. Such a young child, whose mother had passed away and whose father was the murderer of his mother, must have felt sad when he came to the capital and saw the family reunited happily.
Even so, he still insisted on seeking justice for his mother. This is why Su Li agreed to help him. He is a very persevering child. If he is cultivated well, his future achievements will definitely not be low.
"Tell him that in three days I will take him to the Dali Temple to sue Zhao Xingwen. Tell him not to worry yet. I will not go back on my promise to him."
There are still many things waiting for her to deal with in the mansion tomorrow, and she has to attend the diplomatic establishment banquet with the Nanli Kingdom the day after tomorrow. She will only have time until the day after tomorrow.
"Yes, I will tell him."
"Well, take him to the street tomorrow to buy some clothes, and buy him some snacks and food."
"I understand..."
Su Li glanced at the hourglass. It was almost twelve o'clock. Only then did she feel tired. She asked someone to prepare hot water and took a comfortable bath to feel more refreshed.
She didn’t know when Ji Tinglan would come back, and she was too lazy to wait for him, so she simply went back to her room and went to sleep.
