Although they didn't talk during this meeting, their feelings were conveyed to each other. Although they were married, if the Queen did not approve, she could overturn it with a word. Xiao Lan knew that Shen Liu would lobby the Queen for their marriage, and she was grateful for Shen Liu's kindness. As for whether the matter would succeed or not, she didn't really care.

She was not a flower in a greenhouse that could not withstand the wind and rain. After she went in and out of the mountains for the second time, everyone in the Shen Mansion had already recognized her extremely. Taking a step back, as Shen Liu's savior, she had Shen Liu's friendship, attention and love for her, so what else did she have to care about?

Originally, she hadn't actually planned to be with Shen Liu, but ever since she accepted Shen Liu and decided to be with him, she felt that since he was worth her, it was worth it to deal with everything for him.

Besides, after the Hu people were defeated and they returned safely, she didn't think there would be any storms that could hinder them in the future, and she also believed that Shen Liu could take care of everything...but Shen Liu felt that only the best could match her, so he wanted to go to the capital to be the Queen's lobbyist.

There was nothing to do in the city, so early in the morning, Xiaolan and her family got on a carriage back to Shengjia Village. Xiaolan still took a carriage with Zhang, and along the way, Zhang kept talking to Xiaolan. Xiaolan knew that Zhang was really scared when she went into the mountains to save Shen Liu, and she was afraid of losing her daughter, so after she got home safely this time, Zhang couldn't leave Xiaolan every day. As long as Xiaolan left her sight, she would look for her daughter everywhere.

For Zhang, returning to Shengjia Village this time was a manifestation of belonging. If Xiaolan hadn't gone into the mountains to save Shen Liu, Zhang and Sheng Xuan might have returned to Shengjia Village long ago. After all, Shengjia Village was their home. No matter how good the living conditions in the city were, they didn't feel a sense of belonging. This time, Xiaolan brought Shen Liu out of the mountains. Although the news was blocked, it was not a secret at all for some people in the top of the city. Then everyone looked at the Sheng family in a different light. But Zhang felt sour in her heart. That was earned by her daughter with her life. She would rather not have this credit. She just wanted her daughter to live a peaceful life.

Xiao Lan actually wanted to go back to Shengjia Village this time. Zhang and Sheng Xuan had been too nervous these days. The city was not a place where they could relax, but Shengjia Village was. In Shengjia Village, Zhang felt the most comfortable and relaxed. Of course, Sheng Xuan felt the same as Zhang in this regard.

The journey was smooth. After resting for a night in the county town, the family returned home in the evening of the next day.

Xiaolan's family got off the car, and the Zhang family came out to greet them. When the relatives met, they were naturally very affectionate. Since Xiaolan successfully got out of the forest, she told the Zhang family that Xiaohu and Xiaoqiang were currently in the military camp, and that they had captured the deputy general of the Hu people and made meritorious service. So this meeting was not sad, but only happy. Although the Zhang family knew that it was not easy to make achievements, this was their choice. Everyone smiled and exchanged a few words, and then walked into the courtyard.

Sheng Yugui also came with his family. Xiaoyan gave birth to her first child, a girl, but Sheng Yugui's family was not unhappy at all. Instead, they happily held their granddaughter and played with her all day long.

Because Xiaoyan gave birth to her first child, Xiaolan and Zhang did not come back empty-handed this time. They prepared rich gifts for them, including eggs, brown sugar, noodles, pork trotters, brocade and cotton cloth. In addition to these necessities, Xiaolan and Zhang also prepared a longevity lock and a gold bracelet for the little girl.

Sheng Yugui and Xin said the gifts were too expensive and generous, and after a long time of humility, they finally accepted the gifts after everyone's persuasion. After everyone talked for a while, Bao and his family came, and Xiaoting also came with Xiao Miao in her arms.

We all gathered together this time, mainly because you all know that Xiaolan went to the mountains to rescue Shen Liu. This matter was too dangerous. As real relatives of Xiaolan's family, they would not feel at ease unless they saw Xiaolan standing in front of them unharmed.

Xiaoyan has already finished her confinement, but for safety reasons, she still dressed very warmly when she came here. The two sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, so the three of them were naturally very affectionate when they met this time. Xiaoyan asked Xiaolan to look at her child, "Xiaolan, come and see your little niece."

Xiaoyan and Sheng Jiaxing named their first daughter Xiaoniu, which is a very bold name. It is also a common practice for farmers to give a name that is easy to raise, actually hoping that the child can grow up healthy and safe.

In any village in Liaodong Prefecture, there are many children named Shitou, Heitu, and Goudan. This is a consensus among everyone. Therefore, Xiaoyan's child's nickname is Xiaoniu. Xiaolan did not find it strange at all, but found it very cute.

Xiaoyan has undergone subtle changes since giving birth, not only in her figure, but her whole being exudes a gentle aura. Perhaps this is the glory of motherhood, warm and soft, strong and tough.

After Xiao Niu was put to sleep on the kang, everyone moved to the living room to talk. The whole room, young and old, was talking about the three cousins, Xiao Lan, Xiao Hu and Xiao Qiang.

"...When he returns from the capital this time, it will probably be done..." Xiao Lan whispered to Xiao Ting. She couldn't tell outsiders about her relationship with the Shen family, but she had no reservations about her own elder sister. "But this is just a verbal agreement. It's not easy to tell outsiders now. We just need to know it in our hearts."

Xiao Ting thought of Xiao Lan going to the forest to save Shen Liu. On the one hand, she was really worried about Xiao Lan, but on the other hand, she was happy for Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan was not from a high family, but with the amulet of her saving Shen Liu, she didn't have to worry about Xiao Lan being bullied in the Shen family. "As the saying goes, a thousand miles of marriage are tied by a thread. You and Master Liu are destined to be together. The matchmaker had already tied the red thread. I never dared to think about this at first..."

"This is a good marriage. You know Sixth Master. Before you saved him, he lowered himself to ask for your hand in marriage. It's obvious that he really likes you. Now you've saved him... These two points make him much better than the stranger introduced by the matchmaker..."
