Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

Chapter 367 Lu Demin and his family want to go with them

"Cousin, am I useless?" Sikong Xiao lowered his head, looking decadent.

"You're right. Just take good care of your injuries and be a good emperor in the future." Beitang Yuan said as he stood up. "We have urgent matters to attend to, so we'll leave first."

"Thank you, cousin." Sikong Xiao grabbed his sleeve, his eyes red.

"Since you call me cousin, I will naturally take care of your affairs. Be a good emperor. As long as I am here, no one can bully you." Beitang Yuan patted his shoulder and left with Xie Jinglan.

This time, they went to Linggun Mountain.

When they arrived at Xuan Ji Sect, several elders came out to meet them, but the two did not stay long.

Xie Jinglan left some spiritual herbs, spiritual stones, spiritual fruits, holy lotus petals, some elixirs that they did not need, etc. in the space to several elders, asking them to improve their skills and maintain the peace and stability of the Guangyuan Continent in the future.

Finally, they told a few elders some things about the Middle World to reassure them, and then left.

After returning to Shengjing, they first went to the Duke of Li's Mansion.

Xie Jinglan raised her hand and removed the formation.

Because they were afraid that people from the middle world would come looking for them, Zong Zhengyi and Xie Wanying dismissed all the people in the mansion and gave them a sum of money that was enough for them to have comfortable food and clothing for the rest of their lives. The Duke of Li's Mansion is now just an empty house.

As for the shops and other businesses, they will be temporarily handed over to the Zong Zheng family to help manage.

It was more than three years later that Mei Yingying returned to this home.

Looking at the withered gate of the mansion, the steps in front of the gate were covered with withered yellow leaves. The former prosperity was gone, and the four large gold-plated characters "Duke Li's Mansion" on the plaque also seemed a little dim. I couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Husband, it's all because of me. Otherwise, our family wouldn't have been forced to leave our homeland."

"Yingying, don't talk nonsense. How can you be blamed for this?" Xie Feng knew that she was blaming herself and hurriedly comforted her:

"That bastard Lin Yuansheng has long been planning to seize everything in our Xie family. If I hadn't been incompetent and captured by them, how could you have fallen into their trap?"

"Father, Mother, you don't have to be sad. We left here for a better life. Some things have to be given up when the time comes." Xie Jinglan advised them.

This mansion was originally granted by the imperial court, so she didn't think there was anything worth reminiscing about.

It’s just that my parents have lived here for a long time and have developed some feelings for it.

"Lan'er is right. Although we suffered a little, we are finally reunited as a family. As long as our family is together, it doesn't matter where we go." Xie Feng smiled.

"Then let's go in!" Xie Jinglan took a key and opened the door.

After entering the mansion, Xie Feng said, "Lan'er, there are only some valuables in this mansion, which are of no use in the Middle World. Why not donate them to the imperial court? This will be our Xie family's last contribution to the Yuyong Kingdom."

He had a feeling that after they left this time, they might never come back!

Even if they come back, the Xie family will never return to the court.

Just as their daughter said, they found a secluded paradise and lived in seclusion. The family lived happily together, at peace with the world and no longer cared about the disturbances of the outside world.

"Okay." Xie Jinglan nodded.

She knew that before her family left, they put all the gold, silver and jewelry in a dark room in the basement, and they came back this time to deal with these things.

There were still a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry in her space, almost piling up into a mountain. She would give these gold and silver to the court, hoping that the emperor could do something good for the people.

"Then I would like to thank my father-in-law on behalf of my father." Beitang Yuan said.

It would be better to hand these things over to the national treasury first. As long as he is here, the Xie family will be honored forever.

They took out all the things in the dark room, put them into a storage bag, and prepared to give them to Emperor Kunming.

Xie Feng took out a small box, which was filled with some house deeds and land deeds.

"Lan'er, you and the prince should go to the palace! Mother and I will go to Zong Zheng's house."

"Okay, I understand!" Xie Jinglan said.

They packed up their things and left the house.

Xie Feng and Mei Yingying went to Zong Zheng's house first. After Xie Jinglan locked the door, she left with Beitang Yuan and prepared to enter the palace.

"Your Highness, Miss, are you really back?" Someone suddenly called them from behind.

The two turned around and saw that it was Lu Demin and his family of three standing at the bottom of the stairs.

"Why are you here?" Xie Jinglan was surprised.

She remembered her grandmother saying that because she was afraid that her enemies would come after them, she gave Lu Demin some money and let the family of three return to their ancestral home.

"Miss, it really is you." Tian quickly walked up to them and said excitedly, "We've finally waited for you to come back!"

"Wait for us?" Xie Jinglan asked doubtfully, "Aren't you guys going back to your hometown?"

"We went back, but we came back again." Tian shook her head, her eyes red.

"We knew your departure was only temporary and that you would definitely come back, so we decided to wait here, and sure enough, you did."

"You went back and came back again? You haven't been guarding here for the past few months, right?" Otherwise, they wouldn't have appeared so timely.

"Miss, we have been waiting here." Lu Demin walked over with his son and said:

"We went back to our hometown once, but there was nothing left and the house had been occupied, so we came back.

My lady, you saved my family of three from the fire pit and gave us a chance to live. I will be loyal to you and only you in this life."

Xie Jinglan was somewhat helpless. "You don't have to do this. You know the Xie family was forced to flee far away by their enemies. If you follow us, you will only suffer and be in fear."

With Lu Demin's ability and the gold and silver given to them by their grandmother, they can live a life of ease and comfort.

"We are not afraid, young lady. Please take us with you." Tian said, "We know you are a man of great things. Only by following you can one's life be meaningful."

"Lan'er, let them follow you!" Beitang Yuan felt that it was rare to meet loyal people, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep them by his side.

Even if they stay in the Middle World in the future, they still need loyal people around them.

"Besides, Qing'er also needs a companion."

"Okay then." Xie Jinglan agreed after hearing what he said. "We're going to the palace now. You go back and pack your things. We're leaving today."

"Okay, thank you, Miss." Tian was so moved that she was about to cry. "Let's go back and pack our things now."

"My lady, take An'er back to pack your things. I will go to the palace with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Lu Demin instructed her.

"I understand." After saying this, Tian hurried away with Lu An.

"In that case, follow us into the palace." Xie Jinglan waved her hand, and the three of them disappeared on the spot.

The next moment, they appeared in the imperial study in the palace.

Eunuch Wang, who was guarding the door, was startled. He saw who was coming and said hurriedly, "This old servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Thank you, Miss."
