Chapter 193 The dust has settled
Shen Rou took Han Lin and the others all the way back to the Youzhou military camp. When Grandma, Xiaoxue and Xiaonan saw him come back, they hugged her for a long time and couldn't calm down.
Grandma's eyes sparkled with tears of excitement. "Xiao Rou, you're finally back safely! Otherwise, I would die with regrets and would not be able to face your mother."
"Grandma, it's New Year's Day, and you're not saying something so unlucky. It's my duty to protect you and your brothers and sisters. Even if something happens, it's because I'm not as skilled as you, and it has nothing to do with you."
"Pfft, pfft, pfft... This girl is saying such unlucky things during the New Year. Hurry up, pray to the Buddha that he can't hear what you just said, otherwise it won't work."
"Grandma, you are so superstitious. How can the Bodhisattva be so idle as to hear everyone's inner voice?"
"That won't work either. Hurry up and pray. Just say that you just said something wrong. I hope the Buddha will look at you as a child and not take it to heart."
"Yes, yes, I pray, I pray, all right! This old lady is so stubborn."
In order to cheer her grandma up, Shen Rou closed her eyes and prayed.
Xiaoxue and Xiaonan also hugged Shen Rou tightly, their faces filled with joy and relief.
"Big sister, I will definitely work hard on my training and protect you when I grow up."
Shen Rou touched Shen Nan's head lovingly and said with a smile: "Then you should eat more in the future and grow up quickly to protect your big sister."
Shen Nan patted his chest and promised to grow up quickly.
Shen Xue held Shen Rou's hand happily and refused to let go.
"Grandma, have grandpa and uncle returned home?"
"We received a message from Ye Qing two days ago. Your grandfather knew we were fine, so he took your uncle's family and Xiaoyu back to his hometown. Xiaojun and Xiaoyu will get married on the 20th day of the first lunar month."
"Really? That's great! Grandma, you'll be holding your great-grandchild soon, so be happy!"
"Of course I'm happy. Grandma has been looking forward to holding her great-grandchildren for a long time, but our family was poor before, and no one found a matchmaker for your two cousins. Now our family is better off, thanks to you, Xiaorou, otherwise our family would still be living the hard life we had before."
"Grandma, we are a family, there is no need for polite words."
"Yes, yes, we are a family. Grandma must have been very lucky in her previous life. Only in this life can she have such filial and intelligent grandchildren like you."
"It's because you gave birth to a good daughter that we have such filial descendants."
Shen Rou praised her grandma in a disguised way, which made her grandma so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
"I'm going to visit your mother's grave when I get home. We, the grandparents, were able to escape death this time thanks to your mother's blessing in heaven. I'll burn more money for her when I get home this year, hoping that she will continue to protect our family next year."
Shen Rou nodded slightly. "Grandma is right. Xiaoxue and I didn't go back last year. It would be nice to go back and see mom this year."
"Then you pack up and prepare to return home. I'll go find General Ji and General Fan to ask about the situation."
"Xiao Rou, do you want to wait here for Yun Ting to come back? Will he be in danger if he goes to Beiyan?"
"Grandma, don't worry! Our army is marching into Jizhou to support Yun Ting. If something happens to Yun Ting in Beiyan, the consequences will be severe. His Majesty of Beiyan has just ascended the throne and his foundation is not stable. He certainly doesn't want a war between the two countries at this time. He must ensure Yun Ting's personal safety in Beiyan."
"Besides, he went there for the sake of peace between the two countries. His Majesty the Northern Yan Emperor will definitely ensure Yun Ting's safety in Northern Yan."
"In that case, I feel relieved."
The grandparents and grandchildren began to pack their bags.
Shen Rou arrived at the military tent. General Ji and General Fan quickly stood up and saluted when they saw Shen Rou. "This general greets the princess."
"Generals, please excuse your formalities. What is the current situation in Northern Yan?"
"I received news from the prince two days ago that they have arrived safely in Northern Yan and are only waiting for the Northern Yan Emperor to deal with the Third Prince Rong Zhang."
"Princess, don't worry! The army is pressing into Jizhou City. His Majesty the Northern Yan Emperor is not yet capable of going to war with our Great Qi."
"We gave him such a great opportunity to get rid of his biggest threat this time, and he can't thank us enough."
"In that case, I'm relieved. If the prince sends back any news, remember to let me know. Once I'm sure he's safe, I should go back."
"Princess, aren't you spending the New Year in the military camp?"
"My grandma wants to go back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year. After the New Year, my uncle's son will get married."
"Then you wait a day or two, the prince will definitely send back news."
"I understand. You guys are busy. I'll go back to the tent first."
After Shen Rou returned to the tent, she waited patiently with her grandmother.
Three days later, Han Lin came in to report: "Princess, the master has returned with news."
"My Lord, are they back?"
"Northern Yan's Third Prince Rong Zhang was killed while fleeing, and the master has just returned."
Shen Rou felt relieved when she learned that Rong Zhang was dead, otherwise she would have felt like she was being targeted by a thief.
"Now that Rong Zhang is dead, the prince is safe. I'll take grandma and the others back to our hometown to celebrate the New Year. You wait here for the prince to come back."
"I'll send Zhang Qiao and Xu Wen to take you and grandma home for the New Year."
"it is good."
Afterwards, Zhang Qiao and others escorted Shen Rou and others back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year.
