Xiao Chiye nodded: "The Northwest also needs people who study agriculture and diplomacy. We can't just let us do everything ourselves!"

Xiao Zimu smiled and nodded: "I understand."

In the following days, Xia Wanniang talked with all the children about the paths they would take and where they would go in the future.

Xuan Qing and the others looked at her with complicated expressions: "Madam, do you really want us to go to the capital?"

Xia Wanniang looked at Xuanqing: "Xuanqing, I remembered the scene when I first met you, but I didn't expect that one day you would grow up to be so outstanding."

Xuan Qing's eyes were slightly red: "Madam, I can stay."

Xia Wanniang smiled and shook her head: "Xuanqing, you like solving cases and looking for the truth. This is your strength. There are many places in Daxia where there are unjust, false and wrong cases. It is your job to redress their injustice."

"But I can't bear it." Tears still fell from the corners of Xuan Qing's eyes.

Xia Wanniang looked at the person kneeling in front of her and raised her hand to wipe away the tears on his face: "No matter where you are, you are still my child, but remember one thing, don't embarrass me."

Xuan Qing nodded vigorously: "I won't embarrass you."

Xia Wanniang looked at him and said, "Don't take bribes. If you need money, tell your family. We make so much money, not for you to covet those petty profits, understand?"

"I know." Xuan Qing wiped the tears from his face with his sleeves.

Xia Wanniang turned to look at the other two crying children and said, "It's the same with you. If you need money, just ask for it, no matter what you want to do."

"We understand ma'am."

Xia Wanniang patted their shoulders and said, "I will return to the capital with Master Wu in a few days. Your employment has been arranged. Just report there when the time comes."

Xuanqing and the others knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Xia Wanniang.

They never thought that one day, their destiny would change because of her appearance.

Xiao Chiye stood beside her, watching the three children leave: "I really can't bear to let them go."

"Yes! I have had it with me since childhood, how could I bear to let it go." Xia Wanniang took a deep breath.

"When are those little guys like Zong Lexian planning to go back? Zong Li seems very angry." Xiao Chiye wanted to laugh when he thought about the letter he received.

Xia Wanniang turned to look at him: "What did he say?"

"He said he had been worried for six years. These children did not return home immediately after they came back, but stayed in Da Xia to play. He even asked me if he was a failure as a father."

Xia Wanniang felt speechless: "But it's about time to send them back. After all, they are still the princes and princesses of a country. It's not a good thing for them not to go back."

Xiao Chiye nodded: "I will arrange for them to go back. After they leave, we will also talk to Banyan about the marriage of the two children."

Xia Wanniang: "It's time to talk to them."

Xiao Chiye went to find Xiao Zimu and the others to discuss Zhong Lexian and the others' return to China.

Aunt Xiao smiles every day now. With the children back, the house has become very lively again.

"Mom." Xia Wanniang went to her yard.

Aunt Xiao looked at her with a smile: "Mrs. Wan, why are you here?"

"I have something to tell you." Xia Wanniang sat down next to her.

Aunt Xiao put down what she was holding and turned to look at her: "What's the matter?"

Xia Wanniang told her that Xuanqing and the others were leaving, and also that Zong Lexian and the others would be returning home.

For a moment, the smile on Aunt Xiao's face froze, and then she smiled again: "All good things must come to an end. These are good children. It's time for them to show their talents."

She thought of something and said, "Let them go and see the jujube fruits before leaving. There is not much time left. They will definitely like it."

Xia Wanniang nodded and agreed, "Okay. Oh, by the way, there is another happy news. Zimu said he wants to marry Xingyue. I was thinking that after we are done with this busy period, you can pick a good day for us to talk to Banyan and the others and arrange the marriage for the two children."

"Really? This is really good news. I'll go check the date now." After saying this, Aunt Xiao went to find someone to check the date.
