After taking the ferry to the fairy island, the sea breeze blew on her face. Looking at the joyful expressions on the faces of the people around her, Long Jiaojiao felt indescribably moved.

"Long'er, look there."

Looking in the direction of Shu Rong's finger, a golden statue of Ling Xin'er stood on the right side of the temple.

"Oh, I know about this. This was built by the common people to commemorate Xin'er when she got rid of the giant spider, right?" Long Jiaojiao looked at it from afar. The lifelike expression of the statue really showed the ultimate craftsmanship of carving.

"Actually, you don't know. This was carved the second time. The first statue didn't look very similar because people only heard about it and had never seen Xin'er in person."

"Later, at my brother-in-law's suggestion, I hired a craftsman to carve it again. That's how we got the heroic Ling Xin'er you see today."

After Shu Rong explained to Long Jiaojiao, the three of them hurried towards the palace.

After arriving at the hall, I saw Shangguan Hong and Ling Xiner sitting in the chairs in a daze with worried looks on their faces.

Long Jiaojiao walked towards the two of them with a smile.

"Second sister, I'm back."

Shangguan Hong immediately raised his head when he heard Long Jiaojiao's voice, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Fourth sister, you are finally back. Do you know how worried we were about you?" Shangguan Hong went up to Long Jiaojiao and hugged her warmly.

"I'm glad that everyone returned safely. It's God's blessing." Shangguan Hong looked at Mei and Shu.

"Fourth aunt, do you know that you have been away these few days? I missed you so much. And Duoduo is crying and shouting for her mother." Ling Xiner gently wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand.

"Well, I understand. This time when I come back, I will never be separated from them again."

Long Jiaojiao comforted Ling Xiner, and the two turned and walked towards the backyard. At this time, Shu Rong couldn't help but go and see his child.

"Mei Xichen, do you want to go?" Shu Rong turned his head and looked at Mei Xichen.

"Of course I'll go." Mei Xichen put his hand on Shu Rong's shoulder without saying a word and walked into the backyard with Long Jiaojiao.

At this time Shangguan Hong hurriedly asked the kitchen to prepare lunch, and the family was finally together. Although there are not as many people as before, as long as those little ones are there, there is still hope in life.

Long Jiaojiao came to the room in the backyard. When she opened the door, she saw her daughter Duoduo at first sight. At the same time, Duoduo also noticed her.

She hurriedly ran up to Long Jiaojiao, gave her a big hug and kissed her on the cheek.

"Mother, Sister Xin'er said you were out on some business and would not be back for a few days, so she asked me to be obedient and sit here and wait for you."

"Good girl, have you eaten well during the time when your mother was away? Have you listened to Sister Xiner?" Long Jiaojiao picked up Duoduo, sat on the chair, and started talking to her.

Mei Xichen and Shu Rong also wanted to hold Duoduo, but Long Jiaojiao beat them to it, so they started playing with their own sons. However, these little guys were not familiar with them at all, and they all ran to the nanny and Xin'er.

"I'm your father, why are you running?" Shu Rong stood there with his hands on his hips, breathing heavily.

"Shu Rong, what are you doing? Children are naturally timid around strangers." Mei Xichen said with a smile.

"From now on, I will let you follow me and learn martial arts and state governance early. I don't think you are still running around." Shu Rong said unhappily.

"Why, do you want to pass the blame to your son so early?" Mei Xichen asked with a smile.

"Why, don't you want to?" Shu Rong asked back.

"I am now thinking whether we should give them some fruit from the precious tree so that they can grow up in three years."

"That won't do. What are you two thinking? I think it's better for them to grow up slowly. Wouldn't it be better for you two to focus more on nurturing your children? And experience the joy of being a father."

It was really funny to see Long Jiaojiao looking as if she couldn't stand them.

"Yes, Long'er is right. But in a few months my baby daughter will meet me, and then Shurong and I'll be competing against each other." Mei Xichen got excited just thinking about it.

"What kind of competition is this? Do you think your daughter is necessarily prettier than my daughter? Okay, from now on you are not allowed to touch Duoduo again." Shu Rong was a little anxious, and he said to Mei Xichen angrily.

"I was just joking. Isn't it okay if I'm just too happy?" Mei Xichen hurriedly apologized to Shu Rong.

"My two uncles, don't think about these things for now. Don't you have more important things to do?" Ling Xiner interrupted.

"Important things? What else?" Mei Xichen was confused by the question. He looked at Ling Xiner curiously.

"You don't know, your second uncle went to Kyoto and pretended to be you to handle state affairs for you all day long, and your brother Shuli was also pulled back from the temple by your father to manage state affairs for you. Now Yun Yuan is the only one busy in the entire Wu'an County. I haven't seen him for many days."

"Oh, yes, this is indeed our negligence. Why don't we go back in a few days and come back after we're done?" Shu Rong nodded.

"A few more days? Do you two really have the nerve to let others worry about you?" Long Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at Mei and Shu.

"You all should go back quickly. Xichen will be able to go back quickly now that he has magic. As for you, Shurong, I think I can make you a pill so that you can fly around, so that you don't have to waste time on the road. In this way, you don't have to build a palace just to be closer to me. That would be too time-consuming and costly."

"Long Er, this is a good idea. We can be together every day from now on."

Long Jiaojiao’s words made Shu Rong feel happy.

"Shu Rong, don't forget our previous agreement. You will handle government affairs in Xuanzhe for half a year, and then stay in the palace for half a year. The same goes for me."

"But since Long'er is pregnant with my child, I will be the one taking care of her for the next six months from now on. I think this is better and saves you from running back and forth. When Long'er has refined the pill, you should be able to use it in half a year." Mei Xichen said while covering his mouth and laughing.

"Okay, your idea is fair. I'll go back to Xuanzhe tomorrow morning after dinner. Are you satisfied?"

"To be honest, I have to go back for a few days. I feel embarrassed to let my brother-in-law run around for me."

"How about this, you take me back to Xuanzhe first, and then you go back to Kyoto, okay?" Shu Rong begged Mei Xichen.

"Okay, it's your fault. I promise you." Mei Xichen nodded and agreed to Shu Rong's request without any hesitation.
