Just then, Ning Lu coughed lightly, breaking the silence.

She looked calm and bowed, saying, "Master Nong Yue, the princess ordered me to come and take you back to the capital."

Nong Yue was shocked when she heard this, and said flatly: "I don't know any princess. Maybe the lady got the wrong person. I live very well here and I will not leave."

Ning Lu frowned slightly and said in a somewhat awkward tone: "Master Nong Yue, this is absolutely true. Please don't delay."

Nong Yue remained unmoved and maintained a firm attitude.

Just at this moment, Song Zhiyi walked in from the corridor. After seeing Young Master Nong Yue, he hurriedly said, "Nong Yue, this is indeed what my sister wanted. You should pack your clothes quickly and leave with me."

Nong Yue was overjoyed to see the familiar Song Zhiyi, but then asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Second brother, what is going on?"

Song Zhiyi approached Nong Yue and explained in a low voice. Nong Yue suddenly realized and said in disbelief: "You said Xiang'er is a princess?"

"she…"

Nong Yue wanted to ask Song Xiang if he knew that Jiang Lan had detained him, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.

He clasped his fists and apologized to the old Taoist priest: "Master Xuanyuan, I am sorry for bothering you so much. I hope you can understand."

Taoist Xuan Yuan smiled cheerfully: "Since you have something important to do, please leave quickly. If we have the chance in the future, I will discuss chess with you again."

Song Zhiyi stepped forward, clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Master Xuanyuan, I have long heard of your great name. I am Nong Yue's brother-in-law. Thank you for taking Nong Yue in."

Taoist Xuan Yuan smiled indifferently and said in return: "You are too polite, sir. It is just a small favor."

After the greetings, Song Zhiyi followed Nong Yue to the side room to pack their luggage, while Ning Lu stayed to talk to the old Taoist priest.

Song Zhiyi didn't know about Nong Yue, and asked him curiously: "Nong Yue, it's been a long time since we last met. Why did you come to Xuanzhang Mansion? Did you have a quarrel with my little sister?"

Nong Yue shook her head and said, "That's not the case, don't think too much about it, brother!"

When Nong Yue and Song Zhiyi were about to leave the Taoist temple, they came to the temple master, bowed deeply, and said gratefully: "Master Xuanyuan, I am very grateful for your careful care."

The master of Xuanyuan Temple smiled slightly, held his right hand, clenched his fists, and put his hands together to return the greeting: "You are too polite, young master. This is fate. I wish you a smooth journey and good health."

Nong Yue bowed again and said, "I will always remember your life-saving grace. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely come to visit you again. Now, take care, Master."

Song Zhiyi turned around first and saw the female guard Ning Lu beside him. His heart was filled with ripples again. Thinking of her protection and companionship along the way, his ears blushed unconsciously.

Ning Lu seemed touched. She glanced at Song Zhiyi and quickly looked away.

This trip carries a heavy responsibility. If she can successfully complete the mission and send the two young masters back to the princess's mansion safely, she will... make up her mind to stay away from Young Master Song.

Young Master Song... he... looked at me with a rather hot look... I guess it was... it was...

After saying goodbye to the master of Xuanyuan Temple.

Ning Lu led the guards and escorted the two young masters away slowly. Their figures gradually disappeared on the winding mountain road.

On the way to Beijing, Song Zhiyi was well behaved and did not deliberately approach Ning Lu.

Two hours later, they finally entered the city gate and arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion.

Song Xiang was sitting there bored when she heard the servant hurriedly report that Young Master Nong Yue had returned. She was stunned at first, as if she couldn't believe her ears, and then a light of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She completely disregarded her image, pushed the chair away and ran out, her hair flying in the wind.

The joy in my heart surged like a tide, sweeping away the gloom of those days.

When she finally saw the familiar figure, tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

She rushed over and hugged Nong Yue tightly, as if he would disappear again if she let go.

Feeling Song Xiang's body temperature, Nong Yue could no longer suppress his inner grief. His shoulders trembled violently. He hugged Song Xiang's neck with both hands, buried his head, and let out a heart-wrenching cry.

His crying voice was filled with endless longing and fear. He choked and said, "Xiang'er, I thought... I thought I would never see you again in this life. Woohoo... That Lord Jiang said that I am just a prostitute and not worthy of being your servant. Not only will it ruin your reputation, but it will also implicate you."

"Woooo..."

His crying echoed in the courtyard of the princess's mansion, moving everyone present.

Song Xiang gently stroked Nong Yue's back, trying to give him some comfort, but his own tears rolled down like beads from a broken string.

Song Xiang whispered softly: "It's all over, Nong Yue, we will never be separated again."

Nong Yue raised her head, her eyes were red and swollen, her face was covered with tear marks, and she said in a hoarse voice: "Xiang'er, I'm so scared. I'm scared that we will be separated from each other from now on, and I'm scared that I will never be able to protect you again."

"That Lord Jiang said that only if I died, you would be spotless. He had someone feed me a pill. I thought I was going to die, but who knew I would come back to life... She didn't kill me, but sent someone to send me to Xuanzhang Mansion and told me to fend for myself!"

If the master of Xuanyuan Temple hadn't taken me in, I would have died long ago. Xiang'er, the only reason I live is to see you again."

Tears slid from the corners of his eyes and dripped onto Song Xiang's shoulders, as if his broken heart was crying out.

Song Xiang hugged Nong Yue's waist tightly and said tenderly: "As long as you are alive, I will obey you no matter what."

Song Zhiyi watched from the side, his eyes slightly reddened, he said: "Little sister, when I was on the road, I heard about Nong Yue's story, he had such a hard life, now that you can be reunited, I am happy for you too."

Nong Yue turned her head, eyes full of gratitude: "Second brother, I am so grateful for having you accompany me these days. If you hadn't been comforting me all the time, I wouldn't have the courage to come to the capital."

After hearing this, Song Xiang calmed down a little. She looked at her second brother beside her, her eyes full of emotion.

After releasing her arms around Nong Yue's waist, Song Xiang wiped away her tears and quickly walked up to Song Zhiyi, her eyes full of concern: "Second brother, why are you the only one who came to the capital? Where's father? Why didn't he come?"

Song Zhiyi frowned slightly and said seriously, "Little sister, my father didn't want to leave his hometown, so he sent me here."

Song Xiang naturally didn't believe such an excuse, but now was not the time to talk. She planned to wait until after dinner and then ask her second brother to ask.

Thinking of this, she asked again: "What about my eldest brother? Is he married?"

Song Zhiyi replied with a happy face: "He has already married Miss Tan! Don't worry, little sister, Miss Tan treats him very well!"

Song Xiang looked relieved: "That's good, I can rest assured now!"
