Chapter 269: Joy to Her, She is His

that wouldn't be breaking any rules of the Jianghu." Xiao Yuge had anticipated this beforehand, knowing he wouldn't directly answer. So she tried to extract some useful information."Yes!" This time, t...Although the young women beside him hated Fang Tianjing, they still screamed in fright when they saw him twitching and covered in blood.

On the other side, Mingyang had also captured Fan Yang and the others, everything was over, and the rest was left to the authorities.

Feng Yanniang and the others hiding in the shadows saw that the situation was out of control, so they quickly retreated. As Xiao Yu Ge said, what they needed to do now was to subdue the Salt Gang!

And Xiao Yu Ge, after they finished handling matters here, personally sent Lan'er and the girls from Nanbei Village back home!

"Grandpa!"

"Dad!"

"Mother!"

Having already received the news, the village headman Liu and his people were waiting at the village entrance. They embraced their long-lost daughters and wept with joy.

Seeing them reunited, Xiao Yuge and Qian Tingxuan exchanged smiles. This trip with him hadn't been entirely fruitless after all.

"Greetings, Your Lordship!" At that moment, led by the two village heads, all the men, women, and children of the village knelt before Qian Tingxuan.

"There's no need for formalities, all of you, rise!" By this time, Qian Tingxuan's identity could no longer be concealed.

"The common folk didn't know you were the King before, so we offended you. Please forgive us!" The village head of Liu and the others still knelt on the ground.

"It was this king's intention to conceal his identity, and you have nothing to do with it. All of you, rise." At this moment, Qian Tingxuan seemed so approachable.

"That's right, Elder Liu. The ground is wet, let's all get up." Xiao Yuge stepped forward and helped Elder Liu to his feet.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my daughter Lan'er and so many children from our two villages..." The village elder of Liu Village, his face etched with the marks of time, was filled with tears. He knew that without Xiao Yuge and her companions, his Lan'er probably wouldn't have returned.

Xiao Yu Ge awkwardly explained, "Elder Village Head, you misunderstood. I'm not a princess. That was just pretend..."

“Who said it’s fake!” At this moment, Qian Tingxuan walked over, pulled her to his side, and cleared his throat: “Thank you, everyone, for hosting such a special wedding for this king and the little princess. This king is deeply grateful. There will be rewards for everyone later!”

"Thank you, Lord and Lady!" Everyone rejoiced.

"What are you saying" Xiao Yuge's face flushed. What was he doing talking like this at this time

Qian Tingxuan only smiled and patted her head, the adoration in his eyes almost overflowing. Who would suspect they were faking their marriage

“The Bai Shi salt has been recovered, and the relevant people have been apprehended. The new official will arrive soon, and I have already reported your hardships to the Emperor one by one. The Emperor has decreed that a learned scholar and a skilled physician be invited here, and they will arrive soon. The princess consort has also found out that the infertility in the two villages is due to water pollution. The Emperor has ordered the local government to urge the reconstruction of canals and引水， within a month, clean and unpolluted water will be brought to the village. Please rest assured!”

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in joy and prostrated themselves, shouting, "Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lady!" To them, these actions that benefited their descendants were more valuable than any reward.

"Sister Ke'er, are you really leaving" Hu Ping and Hu An, the two brothers, ran to Xiao Yuge's side, holding her hands, very reluctant. They also knew that if there was no Sister Ke'er, they would never see their mother again.

"Ping'er, Aner, be respectful! You should address the Princess!" At this moment, Hu Sao hurried over and quickly apologized to Xiao Yuge: "Your Highness, please forgive me!"

“Hu Sao, it’s okay.” Xiao Yuge smiled as she pulled up Hu Ping and Hu An’s hands: “Pingping, Annan, you guys have to be filial to your mother in the future, take good care of your grandparents, and study hard. When you grow up, go to the capital to serve the country.”

"Well, we'll listen to Sister Ke'er and be filial to our mother and grandparents. We'll also study hard and when we grow up, we'll go to the capital to find our sister." The two children were very sensible.

"Okay."

The villagers bid farewell to Xiao Yuge with reluctance. Afterward, the village head ordered the place where they had lived to be well-preserved, and a temple was built beside it, enshrining their stone statues for posterity to pass on the incense. This is the rest of the story.

Different from when she left, Xiao Yuge seemed unusually lively. She knew that after returning there, she wouldn't forget her path of revenge. Starting over, if she could let go of her hatred, perhaps she would live a carefree life like this. But the pain of her past life had become her nightmare. She knew that if she didn't give her past self an explanation, she wouldn't be happy in this life. At midnight, those nightmares would haunt her relentlessly.

"I want to go take a look," Xiao Yuge lifted the curtain, just in time to see a vast expanse of grassland ahead. Although it was winter now and the grass was no longer so emerald green, and there was still a chill in the wind, she just wanted to run around.

"Stop!" Qian Tingxuan hurriedly called to stop the carriage.

As soon as the carriage came to a stop, Xiao Yu Ge couldn't wait to jump out. She then flung open her arms and ran towards the distance with a smile. The wind whipped up her skirt and her long hair, giving the illusion that she was about to take flight.

"Little Song, slow down, don't fall." Qian Tingxuan followed behind her like a mother hen, afraid she would trip and fall.

"Miss!"

Qīngluò also wanted to chase after, but was held back by Míngyáng beside her.

"Don't pull me, I want to go and see the young lady!" Qing Luo wanted to break free from his grasp.

"Rest assured, Your Highness will be fine with the Prince by her side." Mingyang looked at his mistress's back. He hadn't seen her so happy in a long time. The key was that if he disturbed her now, she would probably have him killed.

"But..." Qingluo still wanted to say something.

"Come on, I'll take you over there. There should be some good food there." Mingyang pulled her towards the other side and ran away. They ran a long way before Qingluo's protests could be heard.

Whether it was her past life or this one, Xiao Yuge had never felt as empty as she did now. She was like a lamb freed from its shackles, running freely on the grasslands. At this moment, her heart was void, free of hatred and worry...

"Qiantingxuan!" She turned around and saw the figure running towards her. She opened her arms and threw herself into his embrace.

Qianting Xuan held her gently and twirled, their joyful laughter echoing far and wide, infecting everyone who heard it...

"Qianting Xuan, it's so beautiful here!" Xiao Yuge stretched out her arms and lay on the grass. This feeling of letting go was simply amazing. Her face was full of happiness, her rosy cheeks glowing, like a September apple, even more charming under the sunlight. Her half-closed eyes were lazy, like a kitten that had just woken up.

“Then we can stay here for a while longer.” Qiantingxuan leaned close to her, one hand half supporting his body, his eyes filled with tenderness: if he could, he would be happy to accompany her on her travels forever, making her happy every day!

If the green mountains have a spirit, may a thousand joys return to her, and may she return to him!er Ting Xuan treated you so well, and you actually took advantage of him!" She craved what she couldn't have, but Xiao Yu Ge didn't cherish it. How could she not be angry"Miss Fang, if you like him,...
