Xiao'er returned home with Brother Ri, much to the delight of the entire family.
Brother Ri knelt to pay his respects to Shen Chengyao and Mrs. Liu once again.
This caused them both to rush forward to help him up: "Brother Ri, this is not necessary. Please get up and have a seat inside. You have been traveling for two months; you must be tired."
Brother Ri stood up, "Not really, we had plenty of rests along the way." Because they were traveling with a caravan, carrying valuables in a carriage, the journey was slow-paced with frequent stops for the horses to rest. It was much slower than his solo horse rides back home.
Once inside, Auntie and her family were there too. After greeting each other, everyone sat down in their respective spots to chat.
"I thought you wouldn't make it back in time! After all, in a few months, you will be marrying Yun'er." Jingrui laughed.
