Although Mo Jingqi had forcefully suppressed the discussion of the murder case in the Xu Manor, how could such a thing be suppressed? Within a few days, the news that the Emperor had sent people to assassinate the Xu family and set it on fire had spread throughout the capital and the Da Chu State. At the same time, Master Qingyun announced at Lishan Academy that because the Emperor had killed the Xu family for no reason, the Xu family would move to the northwest to seek refuge. Lishan Academy would continue to open in the northwest. The students who did not move to the northwest could choose to study at other schools in Da Chu State. Those who wished to continue studying at Lishan Academy could also study in the northwest. By the time the imperial court sent people to Yunzhou, the entire Yunzhou Xu family had already left, leaving only an empty academy on Lishan Academy. When Mo Jingqi received the news, he was furious. He ordered people to set fire to Lishan Academy and announced to the world that the Xu family had colluded with Prince Ding to rebel. He ordered all the prefectures in the northwest to arrest them. However, the Xu family was protected by the Shadow Guard that Mo Xiuyao had specially sent to protect them. They did not enter the city at all. The various government offices were intimidated by Prince Ding's power and did not dare to make things difficult for the Xu family. Unexpectedly, the Xu family safely left Feihong Pass and headed to Ruyang.
At the city gates of Ruyang, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao stood hand in hand outside the city gates. They looked at the carriages that were gradually approaching and revealed happy smiles. "They're here …" Although they had been waiting for the news from the Shadow Guard, they were still worried when they did not see them arrive safely in Ruyang. At this moment, when she saw the fleet, Ye Li felt that her heart, which had been hanging in the air for the past few days, was finally at ease. Mo Xiuyao looked at her with a smile. "I told you it was fine, but you were so worried that you almost scared Feng San, Qin Feng, and the others. If the people below saw that Princess Ding, who would not change her expression even if Mount Tai collapsed, was still so worried, who knows how many people would be scared. " Ye Li also smiled a little embarrassedly. She was flustered because it had nothing to do with her. How could she not be worried when she thought that this matter concerned the entire Xu family?
Before the carriage reached the city gates, Ye Li let go of Mo Xiuyao and went forward to welcome them. The one driving the carriage at the front was the Shadow Guard of the Prince Ding Mansion. Seeing the people approaching, he immediately stopped the carriage and turned his head to say, "The Prince and Wangfei have come to welcome Mr. Qingyun."
The door of the first carriage opened, and Xu Hongyu came out first. Together with the Shadow Guard who was driving the carriage, they helped a white-haired old man out of the carriage.
Ye Li stood in front of the carriage and looked at the familiar yet strange old man in front of her. She only felt her eyes redden and tears unconsciously fell. The old man in front of him looked thin and distant. He had a head of white hair, but he didn't look old at all. Instead, his eyes were full of spirit. Seeing Ye Li standing in front of the carriage, the old man showed a hint of nostalgia and affection on his face. He seemed even more amiable and otherworldly, like a celestial being.
"Li …" Mo Xiuyao walked forward and saw Ye Li staring dazedly at Mr. Qingyun with tears in her eyes. His heart ached slightly. He smiled helplessly and said, "Mr. Qingyun has arrived. Why are you crying?"
Ye Li found that her face was covered in tears. Long before her mother had passed away, her maternal grandfather had returned to Yunzhou. In between, Ye Li had recovered the memories of her previous life. She appeared to have not seen her maternal grandfather for many years. Now that she suddenly saw him, the scene of her maternal grandfather holding her on his knees as he read to her as a child flooded her mind. She actually unconsciously cried. "Maternal grandfather … Ye Li greets maternal grandfather!" When Ye Li knelt, Mo Xiuyao didn't hesitate. He lifted his clothes and knelt on the ground with Ye Li. Mr. Qingyun hurriedly pulled the two up and said, "Prince, you can't do this." Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Qingyun is Li Li's maternal grandfather. Naturally, I should pay my respects." Mr. Qingyun looked at Mo Xiuyao's young head of white hair that was even whiter than his seventy year old self. He couldn't help but sigh. He looked at Ye Li and smiled with gratification, "Good child, after not seeing you for so many years, maternal grandfather almost thought that he would never see you again. It is a blessing that we can meet again in this life. Why are you crying? "
Ye Li hurriedly wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Li 'er forgot herself. Maternal grandfather and uncles are all here. How can I cry when our family is reunited? Maternal grandfather, uncles, and aunts have suffered along the way. " In the carriage behind them, Xu Qingchen supported Eldest Madame Xu. Qin Zheng supported Second Madame Xu as they walked down. Behind them was Xu Hongyan. Xu Qingbai couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene. Before he could say anything, a cheer came from the city gate. Xu Qingyan had already rushed out like a gust of wind. Before he arrived, his voice had already reached them. "Grandfather, Father, Mother, you're finally here. Your son missed you so much!"
"Humph!" Seeing his youngest son's jubilant face, Xu Hongyu lightly snorted. Xu Qingyan immediately became listless. He pitifully leaned against Xu Qingbai and softly called out, "Fourth brother." Xu Qingbai wordlessly reached out and patted his head. Xu Qingyan glanced at his father who was still staring at him and hid behind Xu Qingbai even more. Seeing him like this, Xu Hongyu became angry. He narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth to scold him. Sir Qingyun looked at his youngest grandson who saw his father like a mouse seeing a cat and said with a smile, "Forget it. If there's anything, we'll talk about it later." Xu Hongyu naturally wouldn't go against his father's wishes. He respectfully nodded and said, "Father is right."
"Li 'er greets Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt." Ye Li then stepped forward to greet the two Xu madams. She also smiled and greeted Xu Qingchen and the others. "Eldest brother, third brother, sister Zheng 'er." Seeing Qin Zheng's arrival, Ye Li was even happier. She turned back to look at Xu Qingfeng and Xu Qingze who were walking quickly behind her. Eldest Madame Xu took Ye Li and looked her up and down. She smiled and said, "When we left the capital, Li 'er was still a little girl. Now you have a child of your own. In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed … "Ye Li smiled faintly and said," Indeed, so many years have passed. My two aunts must be tired from the journey. Let's go back to the city and rest first. "
Knowing that Sir Qingyun liked peace and quiet, Mo Xiuyao and Qin Zheng didn't arrange for many people to come and greet them. Only the two of them brought Xu Qingfeng and the others to greet them at the city gate. When the group returned to the Prince Ding Mansion, Steward Mo led everyone to greet them. The mansion had already prepared the courtyard and toiletries. They were only waiting for everyone to freshen up and rest. In the evening, they would invite the officials and generals of Ruyang City to welcome the Xu family.
Xu Qingbai smiled at Ye Li and said, "Li 'er biaomei, there's no need to rush. We're all anxious to see our little nephew."
Ye Li smiled and turned back to order Qing Luan, "Quickly go and ask the wet nurse to bring the baby over."
Qing Luan left with a smile. Ye Li personally helped Sir Qingyun to sit at the head seat and personally served tea. Everyone took their seats. Xu Qingze and the other two bowed to their grandfather and parents again. Sir Qingyun looked at his children and grandchildren and the smile on his face became more affectionate. Although they had left Yunzhou where the Xu family had lived for several generations, it was still a very happy thing to be able to reunite with the family. Looking at Xu Qingfeng, he smiled and said, "Feng-er, I haven't seen you for several years. You look a lot more spirited." Compared to the other four young masters of the Xu family, Xu Qingfeng was considered an anomaly in the Xu family. It wasn't that he didn't know how to read, but he didn't love those things that were insignificant. The Xu family wouldn't look down on their children and grandchildren, but they weren't that comfortable. Now, it seemed that Xu Qingfeng was showing off his ability and was bursting with heroism. Seeing his grandson like this, Sir Qingyun was very pleased.
