Having figured it out, Xie Yushu's pent-up frustration vanished, and she immediately reached out and put her hand on Nanxing's neck.
"Little Nanxing, you'll always be with me, right?"
"Master, of course I will always be with you! I, Nanxing, am yours in life and in death. No matter where I am, I will always be by your side!"
"Hey Nanxing, let's go eat!"
"Hey! So you two are together now, huh! You've forgotten about me, haven't you? You two are heartless!"
It turned out that Qu Xiaodie had caught up from behind, holding several letters in her hand.
When Xie Yushu saw it was her, she pulled her arm around her.
"You've come at the perfect time. Nanxing said that Aunt Su made shrimp and corn porridge. Let's go and have some together."
"OK!
Perfect timing, here's your letter.
There were a few more left; I put them in your study. Remember to check them later, so no one will think I forgot to pass them on.
As Qu Xiaodie spoke, she handed Xie Yushu a letter.
When Xie Yushu looked at it, she saw that it was addressed to her personally and was written in Han Zhongyu's handwriting.
It's been a month since Han Zhongyu and the others parted ways!
Holding the letter in my hand, I felt a mix of emotions.
After everything that has happened, it seems that they can no longer freely express their love for each other. Right now, anything they say would be too heavy, so they tacitly remain silent.
Those unspeakable feelings can only be left to time to settle and mature.
There was no point in thinking about it, so Xie Yushu simply accepted the letter and went out to have a meal with Aunt Su and Qu Xiaodie to catch up.
Having spent so much time together, Aunt Su truly treated Xie Yushu like her own daughter. She had let Xie Yushu run away for more than half a month, and when she came back this time, she had lost a lot of weight. Aunt Su couldn't help but feel sorry for her and her eyes welled up with tears. Afraid of reminding Xie Yushu of something, she turned around and took the opportunity to serve them porridge, wiping the corners of her eyes.
Xie Yushu pretended not to see, picked up the bowl, slurped a mouthful of shrimp porridge, and praised it.
"It has to be Aunt Su's cooking, it's so delicious!"
It's so delicious! I want another bowl later!
Aunt Su happily responded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, drink slowly, I'll save the rest for you."
Qu Xiaodie joked
So Xie Yushu is the only one who's related to the family, while Nanxing and I are just illegitimate children!
Auntie, you're really biased towards me!
I'm so heartbroken!
Aunt Su rolled her eyes at Qu Xiaodie in annoyance.
"Go away! How dare you compete with the princess for food? Look at the princess, how thin she's become! And look at you, you're practically getting three chins out of shape!"
Qu Xiaodie was so frightened that she jumped up to look in the mirror and screamed.
"Auntie, you're going to scare people to death by talking like that, okay?"
"This is clearly a chin, you're really trying to fool me!"
Aunt Su smiled
"You think you're so easily intimidated!"
Despite saying it, he still served Qu Xiaodie a large bowl full.
It was a rare occasion for several people to sit down and have a meal together. Aunt Su cooked a few more dishes, and the group ate and chatted.
Xie Yushu first asked about the daily life at Aunt Su's manor, and then Qu Xiaodie briefly told her about the manor's resumption of work and the increase or decrease in external orders.
Aunt Su and Qu Xiaodie wanted to ask Xie Yushu how she was doing outside, but they weren't sure if Xie Yushu would tell them, since she hadn't told any of them what she had done this time.
Actually, seeing that she's back safe and sound, there's no need to ask anymore, but I still can't help but want to know how she was doing outside and what she went through.
Seeing that they seemed hesitant to speak, Xie Yushu took the initiative to speak.
"As you might expect, I took the Divine Eagle Guard to the Tatar capital."
Xuanyuan Che has avenged all the grudges against his brothers and sisters!
The Tatars are now a vassal state of the Great Qi. Pei Jie is currently handling the aftermath, and news will arrive soon!
I'm fine, I'm not hurt!
So, you can all rest assured!
Having said all that, Aunt Su and Qu Xiaodie understood that it was no longer their place to ask. So Qu Xiaodie nodded.
"It's good that you're not injured!"
You have no idea, I haven't had a single good night's sleep since you left, because I'm afraid you won't come back.
I've made up my mind. If you really don't come back, I'll nurture Haitang and personally go to the Tatars to avenge you!
Xie Yushu hugged Qu Xiaodie.
"It's so good to have you all!"
After dinner, Qu Xiaodie went to handle the affairs of the villa, while Xie Yushu went to the study.
Sure enough, there was a stack of letters on the desk, about a dozen in total, all of which were Han Zhongyu's notes.
Xie Yushu glanced at it. The first letter was written by him on his way back to the capital, telling her to take good care of herself and not to risk her life for revenge, as that would go against Xuan Yuanche's original intention.
The second letter was about her appointment in the capital. Although there had been some obstacles, they had been overcome. She was told to take care of herself.
The third to tenth letters were all asking why she hadn't replied and whether she was safe.
The eleventh letter recounted some of the activities of the Fifth Prince and Consort Chu.
The twelfth letter informed her that Xiao Yi had been sentenced because he had failed to properly manage his household, which allowed Chu Mingzhu to trespass into the study and alter military orders, causing serious damage. According to the law, he should be executed.
However, Chu Mingzhu has already been brought to justice and is being suppressed in front of the Heroes' Tomb to atone for her sins. Although we still hate that she deserved to die, this is all we can do.
As for Xiao Yi, although he had made merits in the past, his merits could not outweigh his faults. In the end, he was sentenced to be dismissed from his post, his property confiscated, and he was also given eighty strokes of the military rod as a warning to others.
