Everyone followed to the outside, where several large chests were placed in the courtyard, presumably the thank-you gifts from the Li family. Zhixin intended to have them take everything away, but when he saw Mingyu looking pitifully at him, he couldn't bring himself to speak those words. Well, for Mingyu's sake, let's just accept them.
Mingyu walked to the gate, looked back at the Xu family once more, "You all go back, it's quite cold outside. If I get a chance, I'll come again. Don't find me annoying then, Uncle and Auntie." Mingyu forced a smile, and then turned to get into the carriage at the door.
Li Jin gave everyone a fist salute, then mounted his horse, and the guards each got onto their horses too. Li Jin took the lead, and with a flick of the reins, the horse broke into a gallop. Mingyu's carriage was in the middle, with the rest of the guards behind, and so the party of over ten people galloped away.
