After the palace banquet, Su Lun and Gu Bei were rewarded for their merits and were both promoted from lieutenants to generals of the imperial court. The general, sympathizing with their hardships during the trip to Chu, granted them seven days of rest. Su Lun, who had been given the day off, rode on his snow-riding horse and galloped back to the Su Mansion.

When he arrived at the gate of the Su Mansion, Su Lun was a little timid. He hesitated at the door for a long time before finally mustering up the courage to walk in.

"My lord is back? My lord is back!" The sharp-eyed servant saw Su Lun and shouted in surprise. The servants in the Su Mansion rushed over and surrounded Su Lun. "My lord, you are finally back!"

Faced with the enthusiasm of the crowd, Su Lun felt a little uncomfortable and nodded awkwardly in response: "Well, I'm back." Then he smiled and waved to everyone, "You guys go about your business, don't worry about me." Then everyone dispersed.

Su Lun continued walking towards the courtyard and bumped into Su Zheng, housekeeper Su, Azhe and Su Xi who were walking towards him.

"Brother, Uncle Su, Azhe, Xiaoxi, I'm back." Su Lun smiled and said.

Hearing his voice, Su Xi's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward regardless of anything and threw himself into Su Lun's arms. He hugged Su Lun tightly, with a happy smile on his face: "Brother, you are finally back! I missed you so much!"

Su Lun gently touched Su Xi's head, his eyes full of doting: "Not bad, Xiao Xi, you have grown a lot taller and your body is stronger."

When Su Xi heard this, he was immediately pleasantly surprised and asked quickly: "Really? I really grew taller? That's great, then I want to grow up quickly and become more powerful!" His childlike words made Su Zheng and Su Lun couldn't help laughing.

However, Steward Su and Su Zhe on the side seemed a little confused because they could not understand Chu language. Su Lun turned his head and his eyes fell on Su Zheng. Finally, he only said a simple sentence: "Brother, I'm back."

Su Zheng looked at his brother in front of him, his eyes sparkling with relief. He walked up to him, patted Su Lun on the shoulder, and said softly, "Glad that you're back. Are you hungry? Let's go inside quickly." Then, he turned to Su Zhe and ordered, "Azhe, go to the kitchen and prepare some food for Alan."

Steward Su smiled and replied, "Sir, don't worry. As soon as they heard that the master was back, the kitchen was already preparing food. It should be served soon. Don't stand here. Come in and sit down to talk."

Su Zheng slapped his head and said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, Uncle Su is right, Allen, come in quickly. You must have been tired on the way here, go in and have a good rest first."

Several people came to Su Lun's residence, Lanyuan. As soon as they sat down, Su Lun couldn't wait to stare at Su Zheng's legs, and asked with a happy face: "Brother, your legs..."

If he was not mistaken, his elder brother was walking just like a normal person!

Su Zheng smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone: "My leg is healed, Allen, you don't need to worry anymore."

"That's great!" Su Lun was so excited that he almost jumped up.

This news was undoubtedly great news for him. Seeing his elder brother recover as before, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell. His joy was beyond words, tears flashed in Su Lun's eyes, and he felt sincerely happy and relieved for his elder brother.

"Sir, the noodles are here." At this moment, Aunt Xu came in with an exquisite tray in her hands. On the tray was a bowl of steaming noodles and two exquisite side dishes.

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "My lord, it's still early. Please eat a bowl of noodles first. The kitchen is already preparing the meal."

Su Lun quickly stood up, politely took the tray and thanked her, "Thank you, Aunt Xu. You've worked so hard."

When Aunt Xu heard this, she quickly waved her hands and shook her head, and replied with a smile: "My lord, what are you talking about? This is our duty as servants."

In fact, Su Lun had already eaten some food in the palace just now, but because he was nervous at the time, he did not eat too much. When he saw this bowl of fragrant noodles, he suddenly felt hungry, so he couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and started to wolf it down.

Soon, Su Lun ate the whole bowl of noodles, not even a drop of soup was left. After he finished eating, he realized that his eating manner might be a bit embarrassing. He looked up and found that everyone was staring at him, and his face couldn't help but flush with embarrassment.

He scratched his head a little embarrassedly and explained with a smile: "Well... I was really too hungry..."

Su Zheng looked at his brother's appearance and found it funny but couldn't help but feel pity. He said with emotion: "Alan is still the same as before."

Madam Xu smiled as she cleared the dishes and then bowed to the two of them and said, "Sir, sir, I will leave first. By the way, sir, is there anything you would like to eat in particular?"

Su Lun quickly waved his hand and replied, "Just make something casual. I'm not picky about food."

"Yes, I understand. I'll take my leave."

Su Lun looked down at himself and saw that his clothes were covered with dust and wrinkles, and his hair was messy. He looked like a man who had just walked out of the desert. He couldn't help but frowned in disgust: "Brother, I've been running all the way and I'm dirty. It's really uncomfortable. How about we talk later? I want to take a shower first."

"Okay, then you go take a shower first. I'll take Xiaoxi back to rest." Su Zheng nodded with a smile, then took Xiaoxi out of the room.

Su Lun walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and let the warm water wash over his body. He closed his eyes and felt the comfort brought by the water, as if all his fatigue was washed away. He couldn't help but yawn, and a feeling of sleepiness came over him. Unconsciously, he fell asleep.

When he woke up again, the water had become icy cold. He was startled and quickly stood up from the tub, quickly dried his body with a towel, put on his clothes, and then fell headfirst onto the bed and soon fell into a sweet dream.

At this time, dinner was ready, and everyone sat around the table, waiting for Su Lun to eat together. However, time passed, and Su Lun never showed up. Su Zheng was worried that something had happened to his brother, so he decided to go to Lanyuan to check the situation himself.

"Alan, are you in there?" Su Zheng walked to the door and asked softly. He asked twice, but no one responded. He gently pushed the door open and found Su Lun lying on the bed, sleeping soundly. His heart softened, knowing that his brother must be very tired these days.

"Alan, wake up quickly, get up and have dinner before going back to sleep." Su Zheng walked forward, patted Su Lun's shoulder gently, and woke him up gently.

Su Lun opened his eyes dazedly, and for a moment he was confused, not knowing where he was. After a while, he came to his senses and remembered what had happened before.
