It took time for the army to break camp and arrange everything. By the time they left Western Shu, the Mid-Autumn Festival had already passed.

During this period, Yuan Shaohui heard that Ning Weizhou had run back to the mansion first. He originally did not go to the front line in person, and wanted to do more auxiliary defense tasks in the city to make up for it. The guilt he felt completely disappeared!

He left the trivial matters at hand, took his two sons and a grandson, and went to meet the people with murderous intent.

But Ning Weizhou and Gu Feiwan seemed to know that they were coming and had already prepared the banquet. Ning Weizhou was only wearing a thin shirt, and the thick bandages on his upper body did not cover him at all.

As they were all people who had fought for their lives on the battlefield, Yuan Shaohui's eyes softened unconsciously.

The military doctor had been very satisfied with the food and drink in the mansion these days, and he also collected many rare medicinal materials from Gu Feiwan. Now was the time to be grateful for the food and the favor.

Therefore, it was natural to introduce to Yuan Shaohui the thrilling experience of Ning Weizhou's injury at that time!

After hearing this, Yuan Shaohui's anger subsided by a third!

Yuan Donglai and Yuan Xiwang are the two sons of Yuan Shaohui. They fought side by side with Ning Weizhou this time and have long developed a mutual admiration for each other. Moreover, when they saw their niece who looked very much like their sister, they no longer stood on their father's side!

Yuan Donglai's son, Yuan Qikai, was cheerful and generous. When he saw Gu Feiwan, his eyes lit up, and he held Gu Feiwan's shoulders with both hands, smiling so brightly that his teeth were dazzling:

"Cousin, you look exactly like your aunt, and you're as pretty as a fairy from heaven!"

Gu Feiwan pursed her lips and smiled: "My cousin is as handsome as the victorious general in the picture book!"

"Hahahaha, my cousin is not only pretty, but also has a keen eye!" Yuan Qi laughed loudly.

Ning Weizhou cleared his throat twice and said, "We are all family, stop standing and sit down to talk!"

As he spoke, he walked forward, took Gu Feiwan's hand, and separated the two of them.

Seeing such a happy scene, Yuan Shaohui suddenly couldn't vent his anger, so he could only glare and snort coldly.

Ning Weizhou was also tactful and personally took the wine pot to pour wine for Yuan Shaohui: "Grandfather, try this. It was brewed by a good sister of Feiwan. She loves to drink it and brought a lot with her from the capital. Now there is only this pot left. I thought I should give it to you as a filial tribute!"

The two sons and one grandson of the Yuan family looked at one another with envy and longing eyes:

"Father/Grandfather, please have a bite and leave some for us!"

The popular drinks among girls in the boudoir are nothing more than wine brewed from flowers and fruits. Most of them are elegant and have a bland taste. For men like them who are used to drinking strong liquor, such fruit wine is no different from boiled water.

It's just that I heard that she was Gu Feiwan's favorite, so I paid special attention to her.

Gu Feiwan did not grow up with them, and now they don’t want to miss even a little bit.

Seeing this, Yuan Shaohui's eyes widened: "Get lost, do you know what you are drinking?"

"Grandfather used to teach us to eat together with the people, but now you are protecting our food!" Yuan Qikai shouted loudly.

Yuan Donglai slapped him on the back of the head: "You have no respect for your parents and no rules!"

Yuan Qikai covered his head with his hands, unwilling to accept, but helpless!

He turned around and was about to ask Gu Feiwan for wine, but was stopped by Ning Weizhou. He was only able to sit down peacefully after being stuffed with a pot of strong liquor.

When a family is together, they are always very harmonious.

When he was drunk, Yuan Qikai held the wine pot and sobbed: "Cousin, you should go home to see your aunt, she misses you day and night..."

Gu Feiwan's throat stagnated, and before he could say anything, he heard Yuan Shaohui say:

"Zhennan Prefecture is far and remote. Ten days ago, I sent a letter back to the prefecture to have someone escort your mother to the capital. I believe you will be able to see her when you return to the capital."

Gu Feiwan was overjoyed!

She had originally decided to discuss it with Ning Weizhou. This time, the couple had successfully completed the emperor's mission. Ning Weizhou had to break camp and return to Beijing to receive his reward, and he was not allowed to stop halfway. She wanted to follow Yuan Shaohui and others to Zhennan Prefecture to see her mother!

Although the couple were separated, she missed her mother very much. She felt unbearable pain when she thought of her mother struggling in chaos!

Gu Feiwan never thought that Yuan Shaohui would be willing to send his daughter back to Beijing!

Back then, the Yuan and Gu families had a big fight!

"Grandfather, your granddaughter is deeply grateful for your kindness!" Gu Feiwan stood up and knelt with tears in her eyes.

Yuan Shaohui quickly supported him and said, "Silly child, how can this be worthy of your respect?"

When Gu Feiwan covered her eyes and sat down again, Yuan Shaohui met the puzzled looks of his two sons and slapped the table and said:

"Don't think I'm afraid of the Gu family. If it weren't for Fei Wan's sake, why would I send your sister to the capital?"

"Fei Wan ran from the capital to Jiangnan with a big belly, and then from Jiangnan to Xishu. It hasn't even been half a year since she gave birth! How could I bear to let her travel again?"

After saying this, Yuan Shaohui cursed fiercely: "The emperor is really black-hearted!"

When Yuan's father and son heard this, they both lowered their heads and said nothing, as if they were drunk and had heard nothing!

After Yuan Shaohui's breathing stabilized, Yuan Donglai raised his head and asked:

"Then are we going to the capital as well?"

In terms of military merit this time, the Yuan family father and son have made great contributions, but they have never liked to go to the capital. The late emperor also knew the temper of the Yuan family.

The ministers guarding the border will not covet the prosperity of the capital and will be content to stay in the barren border. The emperor sitting on the dragon throne will naturally feel more at ease.

"I'm going!" Yuan Shaohui waved his hand and said, "Feng Erlang's letter has arrived. You all should take a look at it later. When you get to the capital, don't let the people inside have an easy time!"

When Yuan Xiwang heard this, he knew that those people must be the ones who bullied Gu Feiwan in the past, and he immediately patted his chest and promised:

"Don't worry, Dad. It's just a big commotion in the capital, isn't it? I've always heard you talk about the past, and my two brothers have wanted to emulate you for a long time!"

"Bullshit!" Yuan Shaohui cursed fiercely.

Yuan Xi was stunned. Did he say something wrong? Did his father mean that he was not allowed to do anything?

"Imitate?" Yuan Shaohui cursed: "My ancestors had no one to rely on and no great achievements, so I could only beat a few people with my bare hands!"

"Now that our Yuan family is guarding an area, our military merits can collapse the walls of Zhennan Prefecture! Do we still have to be as frustrated as I was before?"

"Grandfather is right. I will definitely run rampant in the capital. I will let anyone who has bullied my cousin have a taste of the Zhennan Mansion's long sword!"

Yuan Shaohui snorted and glanced at his two sons:

"I've lived half my life, but I'm still worse than a child!"

Although the Yuan Donglai brothers were scolded, they laughed heartily: "Qi Kai is right. We have guarded the border for so many years for those fat worms. It is finally our turn to be arrogant and domineering!"

The cost of war is huge. Even though Wu won a great victory this time, the Dongman's so-called 100,000-strong army was defeated. No matter how ambitious the Dongman people are, they will no longer be able to harass the border of Western Shu in the next ten years. However, the Mid-Autumn Festival in Western Shu this year is a little lonely.

Tang Zhan and Mrs. Lu both came to apologize in person, saying that it was their incompetence as landlords that failed to let the victorious soldiers have a good time.

Ning Weizhou naturally wouldn't bother with them. Many officials in Xishu were dismissed this time, and the new officials were already on their way to take up their posts.

When these people arrived in Western Shu, no matter how smart and capable they were, they would still need the help of local tyrants like Tang Zhan and Madam Lu.

The army set out, Gu Feiwan lifted the curtain of the carriage, feeling excited.

Beijing, she is coming back!
