422 Return of a Family Member

Ning Yue asked Old Master Ning. As expected, he thought the same as her. “Due to the long journey, the ancestors are still on the way. Your fief is very close to ours. It won’t be a problem to change directions.”

“Yueyue, send someone to tell them immediately,” Old Master Ning instructed Ning Yue.

Ning Yue nodded. Since she had decided, she had to deal with it quickly. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to move them when they arrived at her fief.

The two of them chatted for a while more before going to rest.

They all knew that after today, they would definitely be even busier.

As expected, the next day, an endless stream of people came to congratulate them. They almost broke the threshold of the Ning family.

The gifts were also piled up like a mountain. If they had not moved to Ning Yue’s princess residence, they would probably have nowhere to put the gifts.

On this day, almost all the Ning family members spent their time receiving guests. It was not easy for Ning Yue to have time to rest.

“Yueyue!” Jiang Ying looked at Ning Yue with heartache. “You’re tired, right?”

Ning Yue nodded. She didn’t want to say anything else. She just wanted to sleep well.

“Yueyue, Brother Crown Prince said that he’s giving your second uncle a break. He’s already on his way back to the capital,” Jiang Ying said to Ning Yue.

Ning Yue was stunned and looked at Jiang Ying in disbelief. “You surprise me every time. Thank you, Jiang Ying.”

“This isn’t a surprise from me. It’s from Brother Crown Prince. It’ll be the new year soon. They’ll take turns to take a break. Brother Crown Prince has personally appointed your uncle to take a vacation,” Jiang Ying said.

Ning Yue nodded and corrected Jiang Ying. “You can’t call him Brother Crown Prince anymore. You have to call him Brother Emperor.”

Jiang Ying smiled. “I’ve been calling him that for so many years. It’s indeed not easy to change it for a while. I’ll be careful in the future.”

If he called him Brother Crown Prince again, the new emperor wouldn’t mind but someone would complain.

“In any case, you have to remember. By the way, Jiang Ying, do we have to stay in the capital all the time? When can we go back?” Ning Yue asked him.

Although the capital was prosperous and her uncles and brothers liked this place very much, this was the emperor’s territory. They were not free to say or do anything.

The new emperor had just ascended the throne, and their Ning family had received such a great honor. Everyone in the capital was staring at them, wishing they could see through them so that they could catch their faults.

“Yueyue, I know you don’t like it, but according to tradition, you have to stay in the capital for a month after the new emperor ascends the throne.” Jiang Ying frowned.

This was a custom that could not be changed. Unless the new emperor sent them out to do something, they could not leave the capital.

Ning Yue was silent for a while. They still had to wait for Second Uncle to return to report his work. Staying here for a month was not a problem. She had to tell her family about the situation.

Old Master Ning was not surprised at all. He nodded and said, “In this month, we have to pay attention to our words and actions. We can’t offend anyone. Of course, if anyone bullies us, we don’t have to be afraid!”

“You have to remember that our Ning family has the princess, Marquis Dingyuan, the heir of the Marquis Dingyuan, and the future heir of Prince Jin. We’re already considered nobles. You can’t embarrass the Ning family, understand?”

Old Master Ning taught his son and grandson a lesson. He knew that in the future, they would have to deal with these officials’ families. They had to be careful with their words and actions.

On the day Ning Chen returned, the house was very lively.

Ning Chen seemed to have become stronger. Old Master Ning looked at his second son in relief.

“Second Brother, were you alright at the border?” Old Master Ning asked.

“Father, your son is doing well. Are you okay at home?” Ning Chen looked at the unfamiliar mansion and was very happy.

All along, he had wanted to be a soldier because he wanted to make a name for himself and let his family live a happy life.

He thought that he had already received a reward very quickly, but he did not expect his father to be even faster. Now, he was Marquis Dingyuan.

He had heard that the new emperor had thought for a long time before deciding to use the title of Marquis Dingyuan. He had given the Ning family the title and residence because of Ning Yue.

This also indicated the new emperor’s determination to pacify the Black City Kingdom.

Ning Yue brought Second Aunt Qin to Ning Chen and said to him with a smile, “Second Uncle, look who’s here.”
