When they saw Xie Rui and Xie Zhi carrying two filthy men on their backs, a hint of doubt flashed in their eyes.
As they approached, Xie Muqing suddenly ran over excitedly!
"Second Uncle! Cousin!"
Lin Yan was taken aback.
Not only her, but the rest of the Xie family all ran to the door after hearing this.
Upon seeing their long-deceased father and elder brother, Xie Li and Xie Sheng rushed to their sides, crying out loudly:
"Father! Eldest brother!"
Xie Li, in particular, was crying so hard she could barely breathe.
Worried that her emotions were too volatile, Lin Yan quickly came to her side and gently patted her back to comfort her:
"Aunt, you are still pregnant, so you must be very careful. Remember not to experience extreme joy or sorrow, otherwise you are very likely to miscarry."
Upon hearing her reminder, Xie Li quickly stopped crying and, relieved to have survived, stroked her already protruding belly.
When Madam Xie saw Xie Fei and his son Xie Zimo, she was so shocked that she took a half step back and almost fell.
Fortunately, she managed to steady herself by holding onto the wall. She lunged at Xie Rui, grabbed his sleeve, and questioned him frantically:
"Where is the Marquis? Haven't you seen the Marquis and the others?"
It's no wonder that Madam Xie would ask further questions.
After all, when the Xie family men died on the battlefield, only their clothes were brought back, not their bodies.
Now that Xie Fei and Xie Ziming have suddenly returned to the capital from the dead, a faint glimmer of hope has welled up in her heart.
Faced with her questioning, Xie Rui showed a hint of guilt.
"Madam, I'm sorry, when we chased them to the dilapidated temple, we only saw Father and Eldest Brother..."
With her only hope shattered, Madam Xie felt dizzy and immediately lost consciousness.
"mother!"
Just as she was about to collapse, Xie Muqing rushed over and carried the unconscious woman on his back.
The already chaotic scene became even more chaotic.
Lin Yan went over and took Madam Xie's pulse. She found that Madam Xie had simply fainted, so she told Xie Muqing to relax.
Then she rushed over to take the pulses of Xie Fei and his son.
"Fortunately, they've only caught a cold. Apart from malnutrition, they're fine. I'll prescribe a medicine for them now. Go get the medicine, and they'll be fine after a few days once their fever subsides."
Upon hearing her diagnosis, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
They all wanted to kneel down and express their gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lin Yan stopped them from kneeling and, with the help of servants, began writing the prescription.
"No need for formalities, family. It's getting late, and I should head back to the palace. Please make yourselves comfortable. Don't worry, their colds aren't too bad; they'll be fine."
After writing the prescription, Lin Yan took Xie Muqing's hand, who was in a bad mood, and said goodbye to the Xie family before leaving the Xie residence.
Even after returning to the palace, Xie Muqing remained very depressed.
Lin Yan naturally knew why he was sad, and let out a soft sigh.
"Don't worry, your second uncle and the others are still unconscious. Let's ask them about the whereabouts of your father and brothers after they wake up. Maybe a miracle will happen."
Xie Muqing gave a bitter smile.
"Actually, I know it's already a miracle that my second uncle and cousin were able to come back, but I still feel a little regretful..."
At this moment, Lin Yan didn't know what to say to comfort the heartbroken man in front of her, so she could only hold him tightly and try to give him some strength.
Three days later.
After drinking the herbal decoction for several days, Xie Fei's fever finally subsided, and she slowly opened her heavy eyes.
When he saw the woman lying by the bed, a smile that was both satisfied and miserable appeared on his still handsome face.
"Moon...you've come to my dreams again..."
Upon hearing the sound, Wang Yueshan was jolted awake from her dream!
Upon seeing that long-unseen face, she burst into tears, the tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes.
During his time away from home, Xie Fei often dreamed of his beloved woman, but in his dreams she was always shy and charming, never like she was now.
She cried so miserably.
Even in his dreams, he didn't want to see her sad. He hoped that she could live well without him.
"Moon, why are you crying so sadly? You've never cried in my dreams before. Has someone bullied you?"
Even at this moment, Xie Fei still thought he was dreaming, so he dared not touch the woman in front of the bed.
I was afraid she would disappear in an instant.
Seeing his cautious and bewildered expression, Wang Yueshan burst into laughter through her tears and lightly punched his shoulder.
"You idiot! You're the one who bullied me!"
Xie Fei grabbed the hands in front of him and stared wide-eyed in disbelief when he felt the warmth in them.
"Moon?! Am I really not dreaming?!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yueshan leaned in and placed a light kiss on his cheek, then looked at him and asked:
"Does this still feel like a dream?"
Xie Fei suddenly pulled Wang Yueshan into his arms, took a deep breath of her familiar scent, and then excitedly stammered:
"Moon! I'm not dreaming, I've really come home, back to your side!"
...
Meanwhile, Xie Ziming slowly regained consciousness.
Lu Yu, who had been sitting by the bedside waiting, immediately handed him warm tea.
After drinking a cup of tea, Xie Ziming felt much better in his throat.
Looking at the familiar room and the familiar woman sitting on the bed, he couldn't help but ask the question that had been lingering in his mind.
"You...didn't remarry?"
Upon hearing his question, Lu Yu nearly dropped her teacup, but then replied nonchalantly:
"Marrying you is troublesome enough. If I marry a second one, then when I die, the three of us will have to be buried together. I don't want to die with no peace!"
Even on the day he "died," Xie Ziming had already prepared himself for the loss of his wife.
Unexpectedly, she was willing to remain a "widow" for so long.
"hey-hey……"
At that moment, the incredibly handsome man suddenly let out a laugh that sounded like that of a fool.
The laughter made Lu Yu look disgusted.
"What are you grinning about! Don't go crazy from staying out here too long!"
