As expected, Huo Tian found Ah Nan and handed her over to Yi Pingshun.
Huo Tian's men found her in a ruined temple in the suburbs, where she was sleeping under the altar table.
There was no other person around, so when asked who brought her here, she said a man for a while, a woman for a while, and a big cat for a while.
Grandma was not clear-headed to begin with, and she was somewhat frightened today, so she couldn’t explain clearly.
But fortunately, judging from her appearance, she didn't suffer any more injuries, which is already a blessing.
When Xu Chunjun found out at Ziling's house that grandma was fine, he felt relieved and asked someone to send her some food.
Back at the mansion, Ah Li and Ah Li came over to greet them. Xu Chunjun asked, "Master, have you returned to the mansion?"
"I'm back." Ah Li and Ah Li said in unison.
"Have you had dinner?" Xu Chunjun asked again.
"Waiting for grandma!" A Li pursed her lips and smiled.
When Xu Chunjun heard this, he just smiled and said no more.
When I entered the room, I saw four dishes and one soup on the table, all of which I usually like to eat.
Zheng Wuji was already sitting there waiting.
The maids all smiled and left, leaving only Xu Chunjun and Zheng Wuji in the room.
"Have you met the old lady and your wife?" Xu Chunjun asked.
"Yes," Zheng Wuji nodded, "I see that the old lady looks much better than when I left home."
"Thanks to eldest sister, she has taken good care of the old lady and my wife at home these days, so I don't have to worry too much." Xu Chunjun's voice was soft and soft, and her quiet face became more charming under the lamp.
"Chunjun, you knew I was in the coolie camp, so you asked Mr. Huo to pick me up there?" Zheng Wuji picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Xu Chunjun.
Xu Chunjun's face turned slightly red, and he said with some embarrassment: "I heard from Mr. Wu that I couldn't rescue you in time. Will you be angry with me?"
Zheng Wuji smiled and shook his head and said: "How can I blame you? If it hadn't been for these days in the coolie camp, I would still be the playboy who didn't know what suffering is in the world. What's more, it was me who ran away from the mountains privately, and it was not you.
You designed to frame me, so I deserve it!"
"Thanks to you for escaping that night, I'm afraid you still don't know that the bookstore in the mountain caught fire and burned to ruins the night you left. The mute servant was also burned to death inside. I feel scared every time I think about it.
"Xu Chunjun said.
"How could something so good catch on fire?" Zheng Wuji felt very surprised, "Did Mr. Wu forget to turn off the lamp when he lit it?"
"I speculate that someone set the fire, because the fire started from below." Xu Chunjun said, "And the people who shorted the bank today also knew that you were missing, so such rumors spread. You were studying in the mountains.
There are very few people who know. If that person knows, he is probably the one who set the fire."
"Do you have any doubts in your heart?" Zheng Wuji asked, "Who is it that you have trouble with?"
Xu Chunjun thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate to make a conclusion too early now. We have to see what happens next."
"Okay, let's eat first." Zheng Wuji gently pushed his rice bowl towards Xu Chunjun and said.
"You..." Xu Chunjun could see that Zheng Wuji was obviously thinner, darker, and there were scabs on his arms.
, "You have suffered a lot these days, haven't you?"
Zheng Wuji smoothly lowered his sleeves and said, "These are all trivial matters, and they have already passed."
Xu Chunjun nodded and began to eat in small bites, looking very well-behaved.
Zheng Wuji also picked up the bowl, but the corners of his eyes got wet involuntarily. When he was insulted and whipped by the supervisor, when he was living like a pig or a dog, when he was about to die in pain, even looking at Xu Chunjun was a luxury.
.
He had no idea how many times he had spent money and drunken dreams, and he had experienced many erotic and bewildering experiences, but he had always been in a hazy state, just like a walking zombie.
But when everything was stripped away and we truly fell into the quagmire of sinking, we realized that all the happy songs and drunken dreams were just an illusion.
At this time, chatting with Xu Chunjun under the lamp and eating together at the same table are the most precious and worth protecting.
Zheng Wuji gave Xu Chunjun a piece of cucumber strips. Xu Chunjun was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
After dinner, the maid came in to clean up, and Xu Chunjun couldn't help but feel embarrassed, which was rare for her.
To be honest, she could get along with Zheng Wuji openly in front of others. But when she thought about sharing a bed at night, she shrank a little.
"I'd better go to the old room to sleep," Zheng Wuji said, "You've been tired for a long day, so go to bed early."
Xu Chunjun was surprised. She said nothing and only glanced at Zheng Wuji.
Zheng Wuji knew what she was thinking, and said solemnly: "Chun Jun, I was too bastard before and let you down too much. Now that I am lucky enough to come back, it is the last chance God has given me.
Chunjun, I have never been a gentleman. Even if I change my ways and change my mind, I still am not. I am completely selfish towards you, and I don’t want to let you go. I rely on my status as your husband to keep you by my side.
Even if I know that I have let you down and am not worthy of you, I still hold on to you.
I used to just want to trap you, because you are smart and capable, and you can keep the house and home in order, so that I can have no worries about food and clothing throughout my life.
Until now, I have become more greedy. I want to win your heart, so I have to show enough sincerity and patience.
You deserve the best person in the world, but I'm so far behind. I've already taken too many advantages, so I can't be good.
Chunjun, I have been thinking about something for a long time, and I will tell you in person today. I, Zheng Wuji, have been sorry to many people in my life, and I will inevitably make mistakes in the future. But I will never do it to you, Xu Chunjun.
Don't let me down even a little bit more.
Yesterday's various things are like yesterday's death, and today's various things are like today's birth.
I am willing to wait until the day when you truly accept me and give yourself to me with peace of mind.
It can be regarded as making up for all the bad things I did to you before.
If we talk about my career, I have already failed completely.
So I can only resort to cheating and talk to you about my feelings.
If you really see my sincerity, please give me another chance, okay?"
He said so many words in one breath, more words than he had spent with Xu Chunjun for more than half a year combined.
The night was quiet, and the autumn insects stopped chirping for some reason.
Xu Chunjun's eyes were filled with water, and his already bright eyes seemed to have turned into black crystals under the blue waves.
She was confident about many things, but she was not sure about Zheng Wuji.
After all, a country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change.
"Chun Jun, can you nod? I...can I call you ma'am in private?" Zheng Wuji asked nervously.
Xu Chunjunjuan's profile was reflected on the window screen, and she nodded slowly.
