Xiao Cui nodded with a smile, "Yes Madam, the young madam is back. She just returned to the courtyard, she will be here in a moment." "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Lady Chen clasped her hands together and muttered a prayer. She quickly took Xiao Cui's hand and was about to leave. "Come, let's go take a look.

"Ah, madam, please slow down."

Xiao Cui supported Madame Chen and walked out. Just as the two of them arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, they bumped into Shen Zhu who had just arrived.

When Madame Chen saw that Shen Zhu was safe and sound, he finally relaxed.

"Mother." When Shen Zhu saw Madame Chen, he immediately went forward to support her.

"Yue Niang, are all of you alright?" Madame Chen asked anxiously.

She truly cared about this daughter-in-law of hers from the bottom of her heart as she carefully checked if there were any injuries on her body.

The news of the army entering the city had already spread to the mansion earlier, but Su Zongwen and Shen Zhu had not returned yet, so she couldn't rest easy from start to finish.

In the few days that Shen Zhu had been gone, she found it even more difficult to eat and sleep, and she was afraid that the two of them would meet with mishaps.

"Mom, we're all fine."

Shen Zhu comforted her and supported her inside the house, "The wind is strong outside, let's talk inside."

"Alright." After Madame Chen heard that nothing had happened, he heaved a sigh of relief and followed the group into the main house.

"Yue Niang, why didn't Wen'er come back with you?"

Being supported by Shen Zhu, the moment Madame Chen sat down at the main seat, he impatiently asked about where Su Zongwen had gone to.

"Brother Wen has followed His Highness to the palace to report to him. I think he will only be back after a while." Shen Zhu explained.

"Didn't you say that Wen Er is injured?" How is he? Is it serious? " Seeing that Shen Zhu was fine, the Madame Chen started to worry about his son's injuries.

"Brother Wen's injuries have already been treated with medicine. There aren't any major injuries anymore."

Shen Zhu patted Madame Chen's hands and comforted her: "Mother, you can rest assured. Brother Wen will be back soon."

"It's good that you're fine." The Madame Chen nodded and continued to ask Shen Zhu about what happened along the way. "Oh right, Yue Niang, how did you find Wen'er? Are you in any danger along the way? "

"I met His Highness the Prince Su in the forest that was killed. His Highness was the one who brought me to the Brother Wen. During those two days, they lived in a cave …"

Shen Zhu did not try to hide it anymore and explained the situation to him in detail. Only, she did not say anything more about Su Zongwen's wound being infected by a fever, so as to prevent Madame Chen from worrying.

"It's good that you've returned safely. It's good that you've returned safely." After the Madame Chen heard what Shen Zhu had said, she held onto his hands and sighed.

"Why don't you go and see Ruanruan first? She's sleeping in the room next door, when she wakes up I'll get Xiao Cui to send it over to you. " The Madame Chen laughed, "You must be exhausted after rushing back all this way, right? "I'll go back and soak in it later and sleep in it comfortably."

"Thank you, Mother." Shen Zhu nodded, "Then I'll go see Ruanruan first."

"Go."

Shen Zhu went to the neighboring room and looked at Ruanruan. Seeing that she was still sleeping, he did not disturb her.

Come to think of it, this was the first time Ruanruan and her had separated for so long, so when she saw Ruanruan, she could not help but stare with reddened eyes, the many days of longing immediately flooding into her heart.

"Ruanruan..." Shen Zhu reached out his hand, and gently rubbed the child's face.

As if he had felt Shen Zhu's aura while he was sleeping, a faint smile appeared on Ruanruan's round and smooth little face.

"Good child, go to sleep. When you wake up, you will be able to see Mother."

Shen Zhu retracted his hand, and stood beside the cradle to look at it for a long time, before finally returning to the World Peace Garden.

Just as she entered the courtyard, she saw Su Qingyi, Su Yunyan and Ah Qiu bringing Jingshu over to guard the entrance.

"Sister-in-law, you're back."

The three of them shouted at the same time.

"I'm back." Shen Zhu nodded, and replied with a smile.

Just as she finished speaking, a petite figure pounced on her like the wind.

"Mother, you're finally back."

Jingshu threw himself into Shen Zhu's embrace, his eyes immediately turning red, as he muttered in grievance, "Mother, where did you go? Do you not want Shuer anymore? "

It was probably because he had experienced the pain of losing his mother once again and was afraid of losing her again, Shen Zhu, as a mother.

"Shuer, why would Mother not want you? Mother only has very important things to do, so he left for a few days. Look, hasn't Mother come back? "

Shen Zhu's heart ached, he immediately squatted down to comfort her.

"But, but Grandmother said that Mother is sick, whoever gets close will get infected, and people outside all say that Mother is very sick …"

Jingshu wailed and winced, with an appearance of being wronged.

Although the Madame Chen had instructed that no one was to approach the World's Peace Garden, she had secretly come over to take a look without telling anyone. She had searched the entire courtyard up and down, but she hadn't seen her mother at all!

It frightened her!

"Um, sister-in-law, auntie personally instructed me to not let anyone know of your whereabouts …" Seeing that, the Ah Qiu immediately went up to explain.

Shen Zhu nodded, he lowered his head and continued to comfort Jingshu, "Shuer will stop crying, look, Mother has returned! Mother guarantees that the next time something like that happens, Mother will definitely tell you. "

"Yes, Shuer." Seeing that, Su Yunyan immediately went over and comforted Jingshu: "Look, the wind outside is so strong, if we don't hurry Mother into the house, what will happen if she really gets sick?"

After Jingshu heard this, she immediately let go of his hand, pouted and muttered, "Jingshu is obedient."

"Sigh, this is a good child, Shuer is good."

Su Yunyan patted Jingshu's head as he praised him.

"Sister-in-law, let's go in quickly."

Ah Qiu and Su Qingyi immediately pulled Shen Zhu into the house, and Su Yunyan followed behind.

The group of people dragged Shen Zhu and asked for a while, and then they lied and took Jingshu away, allowing him to wash and rest.

The palace.

"Your son/subject greets the Royal Father/Emperor. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Ming Jiling and Su Zongwen entered the hall and saluted respectfully.

"Ming Chengjun." Exempt all formalities. "

"Thank you, Royal Father/Thank you, Your Majesty."

"This time, the two of you have returned with a great victory. Capture all the bandits of Black Peak Village and reward them handsomely!"

Ming Chengjun said in an amiable tone, "Speak, what rewards do you want us to give?"

"This subject does not want any rewards. It is this subject's blessing to be able to serve the emperor." Su Zongwen slightly bowed, and said with a heavy voice.

"Reward for your meritorious service, and be punished for your meritorious service. Since you've accomplished a great deed on this trip, then you should be rewarded." Ming Chengjun looked at Su Zongwen and laughed: "We will appoint you as the head judge of the Ministry of Justice. In addition, we will grant you with a hundred acres of good land and a hundred thousand taels of silver.

"Thank you, my lord." Su Zongwen hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

The people in the court cast sidelong glances at the two, their thoughts varied.

Kong Linyuan stood behind his respected master, and his gaze sunk slightly as it was unknown what he was thinking.

The Crown Prince and his gang thought to themselves: If Su Family were to be completely exposed, what should we do in the future?

Su Family and the other two stood in the middle of the crowd with their heads bowed, staring at the crowd with eyes that seemed to be filled with poison.

Su Zhizhong and his brother watched on with concern, their hearts anxious to ask about the two of them, they could only restrain their temper, and wait for the next assembly.
