Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 267 We are like a family

In Yunnan, under a blue sky and white clouds, a magnificent palace stood before us. Several carriages slowly stopped at the gate of the Yunnan Palace.

Inside the car, Dugu Jingyao slowly woke up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and subconsciously lifted a corner of the curtain. When she took in the view outside, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable excitement and joy. This was her familiar hometown, and that magnificent mansion was where she grew up.

Glancing at the figures standing in front of the door, Dugu Jingyao immediately recognized her father and cousin, whom she had missed so much. At that moment, all her longing and concern flooded into her heart like a flood, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

Fortunately, besides her, only her personal maid, Shi Jian, was awake in the carriage. Shi Jian felt distressed when she saw her mistress crying, but she also knew that it was not appropriate to say anything at this moment, so she silently handed her a handkerchief.

Dugu Jingyao took the handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, trying to calm the surging emotions in her heart. At this moment, a crisp knocking sound came, "beep, beep", it turned out to be Xunfeng, who was in charge of the escort, coming to remind her.

Dugu Jingyao took a deep breath, steadied her voice, opened the car curtain, and asked softly, "Are we there yet?"

Xunfeng replied respectfully, "Yes, my lady, we are here."

Hearing this answer, Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "Then I'll wake them up."

After saying that, she turned to look at Shijian and ordered, "Shijian, wake them all up, we're here." Then, the two of them began to wake up the other companions together.

Among them, Liu Jingyue was sleeping soundly. When she was woken up, she was still a little grumpy and grumbled and refused to open her eyes. Seeing this, Dugu Jingyao smiled and leaned close to her ear and said, "Wake up, we're home!"

These words seemed to have a magical power. Upon hearing them, Liu Jingyue immediately opened her eyes and sat up, her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation. Just like that, everyone woke up one by one, packed their bags, and prepared to get off the bus to greet their long-lost hometown and loved ones.

Liu Jingyue's bad mood when she woke up disappeared. Although she had been here for a short time, she also felt a strong sense of homesickness, perhaps because she had the memories of the original owner.

Shi Jian and Hong Rui gracefully disembarked, their figures graceful and elegant. Then, a petite figure darted out of the carriage like a wild horse. It was none other than the lively and lovely Liu Jingyue. Like a cheerful little bird, her face brimming with excitement, she couldn't wait to embrace the outside world.

Dugu Jingyao then slowly emerged from the carriage. Her demeanor was elegant, her steps calm and composed, each step graceful and elegant. Following suit, Shen Zhenzhu and Murong Linzhi also emerged, each possessing their own unique charm, some gentle and charming, others elegant and refined.

As soon as Liu Jingyue landed, she kicked off, trotting towards Dugu Xin. Her speed was astonishing, like a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, she was in Dugu Xin's arms. If Dugu Xin hadn't been prepared, and Liu Jingyue wasn't petite, she would have been knocked to the ground!

At this moment, Liu Jingyue was like a vibrant popping candy, twisting her body in Dugu Xin's arms, chattering non-stop, telling about her experiences and interesting things along the way. Dugu Xin listened with a smile, his eyes full of doting.

When his gaze turned to Dugu Jingyao, who had followed closely behind, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Dugu Jingyao was smiling, walking briskly, her complexion rosy and radiant, and she looked in excellent spirits. He thought she hadn't been affected at all, and Dugu Xin finally let go of the worry he had been holding.

Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue were different when they returned home. Outside, they followed the rules and saluted Dugu Xin properly. However, when they arrived at the door, not to mention Liu Jingyue, even Dugu Jingyao just smiled and said, "Daddy, cousin, we are back!"

The others were used to it, but Shen Zhenzhu and Murong Linzhi, who had just met them in Chang'an, could not help but be shocked. It turned out that not all the royal relatives were like the children of the aristocratic families in Chang'an City. They could also act as recklessly as Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue!

Shen Zhenzhu couldn't help but look at Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue with a touch of heartache, thinking: These two bright and lively girls, acting so dignified and quiet in Chang'an City, are really putting them in such a difficult position. No wonder they want to go home; Chang'an has put them in chains. Especially when she thinks Jingyao will marry Prince Guangping, a lifelong shackle. If only Prince Guangping could treat Jingyao better, so that Jingyao wouldn't have given up her freedom for him in vain!

Just as Shen Zhenzhu was thinking, Dugu Jingyao came forward, holding Shen Zhenzhu by her left hand and Murong Linzhi by her right hand, and introduced them to Dugu Xin and Dugu Moyan: "Daddy, the one on the left is Shen Zhenzhu, whom you know. The one on the right is Dr. Gongsun's apprentice, and one of my new friends in Chang'an, Murong Linzhi."

Shen Zhenzhu and Murong Linzhi couldn't be as casual as the two sisters of the Dugu family. They stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Greetings to the King of Yunnan, to..."

Dugu Jingyao pointed at Dugu Moyan and said, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce you. This is my cousin Dugu Moyan."

After saying this, the two of them bowed again and said, "Greetings, Young Master Dugu."

Dugu Moyan also bowed and greeted the two of them.

Dugu Xin hugged his youngest daughter, then reached out and took his eldest daughter's hand and said, "Zhenzhu, Linzhi, is it okay for me to call you that?"

The two smiled at each other and nodded slightly. Shen Zhenzhu said, "Of course."

Dugu Xin added, "Well, don't be so formal. Since you are my Yao'er's good friend, we are like family. You don't have to call me Prince anymore, just call me Uncle!"

The two of them agreed. They felt that the King of Yunnan was really easy to get along with. No wonder Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue felt so relaxed when getting along with the King of Yunnan.

Dugu Moyan said, "Uncle, let's go in quickly. My sisters are tired from the journey and it's not good for them to stand outside for long."

Dugu Xin patted his head and said, "Look at me, I'm so happy that I'm confused. Let's go into the mansion and rest!"
