Ji Luo and Yuan Yuwan had met a year ago and started traveling together since then.

Ji Luo had heard about Yuan Yuwan from Shen Yijia and mistakenly thought that she did not want the people in Chang’an to know where she was.

After all, it was her business. Out of respect, she never mentioned it in the letter sent back to Chang’an. Yuan Yuwan thought that she would mention it. By a freak combination of factors, Shen Yijia did not receive any news.

The world was so big, but she could even encounter such a thing. Shen Yijia sighed in her heart. Fate was really a magical thing.

“You’re not leaving after coming back this time, right?”

Yuan Yuwan was stunned for a moment. Seeing the worry on Shen Yijia’s face, she chuckled and said with a smile, “I’m not leaving. I’ve brought You Bai to many places in the past three years. I’ve seen many things that I’ve never seen before.”

Shen Yijia heaved a sigh of relief. Although the world was peaceful now, there was no lack of bad people everywhere. Sister Yu Wan and You Bai were just two weak women. If they encountered them, they would not even be able to resist.

She did not ask where Yuan Yuwan had been for the past few years, nor did she ask if she had let go. Since she could come back, at least it meant that she had already crossed that hurdle. That was enough.

The Sister Yuwan she knew had never been someone who would indulge in the past.

The two of them chatted for a while more before Xiao Ruoshui came to visit.

Speaking of which, Xiao Ruoshui had another daughter last year. Now, she had both a son and a daughter.

Seeing that she was alone, Shen Yijia asked curiously, “Didn’t you bring Rui’er and Little Yingying along?”

“Those two devils are too noisy. I sent them to my mother’s place.” Ever since Xiao Qirui left, Madam Xiao’s health had not been good. Xiao Ruoshui was afraid that something would happen to her, so she threw the children to her every few days.

However, it was really noisy. They could tear down the house if people didn’t keep an eye on them. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that they were two extremes compared to Song Tan and Song Min.

When Shen Yijia heard her complain, she felt that her children were quite obedient.

The three of them had not gathered together for a long time. They chatted until dinnertime, but they still felt unsatisfied.

Looking at Xiao Ruoshui, who had been talking non-stop since she entered, Shen Yijia and Yuan Yuwan looked at each other and smiled.

After dinner, Xiao Ruoshui and Fan Mingyuan still had to pick up the children.

The journey was tiring, and Yuan Yuwan was a little tired, so she bade farewell.

Shen Yijia advised, “It’s not safe for you to return to the manor at this time of night. Why don’t you stay here today? I’ll arrange the same courtyard for you.”

Yuan Yuwan smiled. “I’m not going back to the manor. I asked You Bai to return to the old residence to clean up in advance and prepare to stay at the old residence.”

Shen Yijia paused. Looking at the smile on her face, she knew that she had really crossed that hurdle.

“How nice!” she thought.

After sending Yuan Yuwan off and coaxing the siblings to sleep, the family sat in the reception pavilion and chatted. Only then did Ji Luo tell them what she had heard.

Shen Yijia blinked. “Empress Dowager Zhou?”

Back then, Xuanyuan Ce did not pester Ji Luo, instead, he returned to the Xuanyuan Kingdom because Empress Dowager Zhou’s health was deteriorating.

Unexpectedly, she was about to die in less than two years.

Shen Yijia had never hated anyone from the Xuanyuan family. It didn’t seem like she hated them now.

After all, without the Xuanyuan Kingdom, Great Xia might still be fighting the Wu Kingdom. It was even possible that their country would have been destroyed.

In particular, in the past two years, the Xuanyuan Kingdom would send all kinds of gifts to the twins during festivals. Out of courtesy, Madam Li would also prepare a gift in return for those who came to bring it back.

Although they had not met, they had become even closer to the Xuanyuan family.

In addition, no matter what, she had the blood of the Xuanyuan family flowing in her veins. It was only right for her to meet them.

Humans couldn’t always remember past grudges. They had to look forward.

Ji Luo nodded. “I thought that they would send someone to pick you up, but the journey is long, and you have two children with you. I’m worried, so I wanted to go with you. We can take care of each other on the way.”

As soon as they finished talking about Empress Dowager Zhou, there was a knock on the Duke’s residence’s door early the next morning. This time, it was Chu Feng.

Xuanyuan Ce did not come. It seemed that Empress Dowager Zhou was indeed about to die. Otherwise, Ji Luo would have been worried that the two children were still young. He was naturally the same. If not for the fact that he could not leave, it was impossible for him not to come personally. However, although he did not come, he sent two Demon Guards..
