The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands

Xu Junjun's last cry spread throughout the room. Jiang Wumei smiled, put down her chopsticks, and said to Qingzhi:

"Please take the food away. I can't eat anymore."

Seeing that she had drunk half a bowl of porridge, Qingzhi advised:

"My Lady, please eat a little more. You've been sleeping better these past few days, but your appetite has diminished considerably. You've become noticeably thinner."

"I don't want to eat anymore, please remove it."

It’s not that Jiang Wumei doesn’t want to eat, but the closer it gets to the due date, the smaller her stomach feels.

Now, when it comes to eating, even if she has a good appetite, she will feel full after a few bites. If she eats too much, she will feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade them, Qingzhi sighed and ordered people to come in and clean up.

The mansion was relatively peaceful for the next few days.

After Xu Junjun finished her work at the pharmacy, she gave a few of the pharmacists a holiday and stayed at home to accompany Jiang Wumei, preparing to wait for her to give birth.

But before she could make a move, a letter from Jiang Yuanzhou in the capital arrived at the homes of her two best friends.

After receiving the letter, Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun were both delighted. They couldn't wait to open the letter and read the contents word by word.

But after watching the rest of the story, the smile on Jiang Wumei's lips gradually faded, and finally a serious look appeared on her brows as she looked towards Xu Junjun, whose face was slightly pale.

"Old Madam Huo may not be able to make it. Junjun, do you want to go to the border and see her?"

In his letter, Jiang Yuanzhou first asked about Jiang Wumei's recent situation, and also mentioned the Huo Mansion. He told them that ever since Young Madam Huo met with an accident, Old Madam Huo had been feeling guilty and blaming herself every day, causing all the previously suppressed illnesses to break out at once, and her health deteriorated very quickly.

Last month, the situation was so bad that I had difficulty taking medicine and was so sick that I could hardly walk.

But at this point, instead of recuperating in Beijing, Mrs. Huo proposed to live at the border for a while to see the frontier that the late General Huo had guarded for decades, fulfilling her wish.

No one in the Huo family dared to say no. Huo Qiming personally escorted Old Madam Huo to the border and stayed by her side to show his last filial piety.

Xu Junjun took the letter from Jiang Wumei and read it word by word. Her face turned pale and her eyes turned red.

"grandmother."

Xu Junjun murmured something, looking at Jiang Wumei with a look full of hesitation.

It is no exaggeration to say that in this world, apart from Jiang Wumei, Madam Huo is the person closest to Xu Junjun.

After a year of living together, Xu Junjun has long regarded Mrs. Huo's care and love as her real grandmother.

She had considered everything when faking her death to escape, but she had not expected that it would be such a big blow to Mrs. Huo, and that it would ruin her health.

If she died because of her own death, I'm afraid Xu Junjun would blame herself in her dreams for the rest of her life!

Seeing Xu Junjun's vulnerability, Jiang Wumei sighed, stood up and gently hugged her:

"Go ahead, leave tomorrow and go to the border to see Madam Huo for the last time. With Qingzhi accompanying me, I'll be fine."

Xu Junjun's eyes were blurred with tears:

“But you’re about to give birth.

I'd better wait until you give birth before I go there.

Otherwise, if anything happens to you, I will regret it to death..."

Xu Junjun was in a dilemma and her speech became confused due to her anxiety.

After saying that, Xu Junjun finally realized what unlucky words she had said. She quickly spat three times and hugged Jiang Wumei, choking with sobs:

"Niao Niao, I don't mean to curse you.

You know, I'm so worried about you. We sisters depend on each other, and nothing must happen to you.

If anything happens to you, I won't live anymore.

Wuwuwu~~~"

As she spoke, Xu Junjun burst into tears.

Jiang Wumei hugged her back and patted her back gently. Her voice was as gentle as water, yet soothing:

“I know, Junjun.

I know it all.

I know you are just too worried about Madam Huo and me, so you have no idea what to do.

But don't be afraid, go to the frontier with peace of mind. The child and I will be here, waiting for you, our godmother, to return."

Wiping away the tears from Xu Junjun's eyes, Jiang Wumei deliberately said jokingly:

"When you come back, remember to bring a gift. Otherwise, I will make the child disown you as his godmother."

Xu Junjun burst into laughter and said with a pout:

"Got it. Don't worry, even if I forget myself, I won't forget to bring a gift for the little one."

"Then we have an agreement."

Life and death are important. Apart from life and death, everything else is trivial.

Putting both the two on the same scale, Jiang Wumei couldn't bear to put Xu Junjun in a difficult position, so she made the decision for her.

In her previous life, she had experienced the pain of wanting to support her parents but they were no longer around, and she didn't want Xu Junjun to experience the same pain.

This kind of pain lasts for a long time, and every time it rains, it will surge in my heart.

Junjun should live a bright and lively life, and should not experience this kind of damp pain that accompanies her throughout her life.

Having said that, Xu Junjun was still worried. She held Jiang Wumei tightly and hesitated:

"Niao Niao, I really can't let you go.

Otherwise, I'd better wait until you give birth before leaving."

Jiang Wumei smiled and looked at her tenderly:

"Junjun, time waits for no one. If you miss the chance to see Madam Huo for the last time just because of these few days, will you regret it later?"

Xu Junjun stopped talking and her eyes became red again.

Jiang Yuanzhou is not a person who exaggerates. When he said that Mrs. Huo was in a bad condition, it must be extremely bad.

When people grow old, their energy and spirit will decline, and it will only take a moment or two for them to die. If she delays for another ten days or so, she might not be able to make it in time.

Seeing her red eyes, Jiang Wumei raised her hand and touched her eyelids, feeling distressed:

“Having a child is something I can’t control.

I'm not sure when the baby will be born. If it's delayed, you'll probably regret it for the rest of your life.

Junjun, it's not easy to meet one or two people who truly love you in your life for decades. While Mrs. Huo is still alive, you should go and meet her quietly to complete the last relationship between you two, the grandfather and the grandson.

Go ahead.

After meeting Madam Huo, return to Yuncheng and I will be your strongest support."

Jiang Wumei's words gave Xu Junjun great courage. She hugged Jiang Wumei tightly and let her emotions flow.

"Niao Niao, how can you be so nice?

Fortunately, you came with me, otherwise I don’t know how to survive here.”

After letting her cry on her shoulder for a while, Jiang Wumei pushed her away and wiped Xu Junjun's tears with a handkerchief:

"Okay, we have decades to talk about these boring things.

You should hurry up and prepare your money and luggage, and leave early tomorrow morning."

After thinking for a while, Jiang Wumei said worriedly:

"Yuncheng is a thousand miles away from the border. To be safe, I will ask Madam Liu for a few reliable people tomorrow to escort you all the way there.

If anything happens along the way, you’ll have helpers by your side.”

Xu Junjun's eyes were as jealous as a rabbit. Seeing that Jiang Wumei had thought so much about her in such a short time, her heart was filled with warmth and emotion. She hugged Jiang Wumei's arm and clung to her again.

"Niao Niao, you are so good to me. In the next life, and the next life after that, I want to be your sister again!"
