Xu Junjun was worried about Madam Huo, but she was also concerned about Jiang Wumei. In Qingzhou, by Madam Huo's side, she had done everything she could, and now it was time to leave.

Mrs. Huo was stunned for a moment, then said reluctantly:

"I heard that you were going to the border to visit relatives?

Are you going to look for your relatives?"

Xu Junjun hummed:

"Yes, I originally came to the border for my family. I happened to encounter the Xiongnu attack, so I couldn't help but take action, which delayed my journey. Now it's time to set off.

Madam, I am very happy to meet you and help General Huo and General Su.

I hope that you, General Huo, and General Su will live long and worry-free in the future."

Old Madam Huo looked at Xu Junjun's face and eyebrows on the mask inch by inch.

Finally, looking into her clear eyes:

"You are a good child. Everything will go smoothly for you in the future."

Mrs. Huo looked at Xu Junjun with a smile, with sincere blessings in her eyes. She seemed to be looking at her, but also as if she was looking through the mask on her face and into her true heart.

Xu Junjun felt her heart burn when she was looked at by Mrs. Huo. She quickly lowered her head to avoid her gaze and said, "En En,"

"Yes, we will all be blessed with good fortune, good health and long life."

For Mrs. Huo now, the most precious thing is time.

Xu Junjun only hopes that she can live longer and enjoy more family happiness.

Having said that, Xu Junjun stood up and took out a few jade bottles from under the pillow.

The jade bottle is full of green pills.

Placing the jade bottle in front of Madam Huo, and meeting her puzzled face, Xu Junjun whispered:

“Old lady, you are very kind, these pills are for you.

These are health-preserving pills made by my elders. They are especially suitable for people like you who are weak and frail. Please accept them. Take one pill every five days. It will be enough for you for two years."

Mrs. Huo touched the beautiful bamboo pattern on the jade bottle, and a touch of emotion appeared on her face.

But in front of Xu Junjun, she quickly returned to normal and said with a smile:

"I accept your kindness.

If, if you are done with your work in the future, you can come and see me when you have time."

Facing someone she had known for less than a month, Mrs. Huo's words were very abrupt. Xu Junjun's heart skipped a beat, wondering if Mrs. Huo knew something.

Looking up at Mrs. Huo's expression, Xu Junjun didn't notice anything unusual. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded.

"If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely visit you at your house."

After things were settled, the next morning, Xu Junjun left Qingzhou with Chen Liu, Chen Shiyi and others without saying goodbye to anyone.

Huo Qiming discovered that Xu Junjun and the others had left in the evening of that day.

When Huo Qiming learned from Mrs. Huo that Jiang Xu had passed away, he was stunned.

Although he looked down on Jiang Xu at first, after going to the Xiongnu camp to get medicine, he realized that Jiang Xu was not the slick man he had imagined, but a very reliable person.

He had thought that after the incident of getting the medicine, the two of them had become somewhat close, but he didn't expect that Jiang Xu would just leave without saying a word?!

Huo Qiming couldn't explain what he felt in his heart, he just felt that his mood was a little complicated.

Before he could finish his complicated words, Mrs. Huo stared at his handsome face and sighed deeply, as if she was both relieved and comforted:

"Ming'er, if you meet a girl you like in the future, tell grandma.

As long as the woman is not a vicious person, regardless of her wealth or status, Grandmother will agree to your request."

Mrs. Huo's words were like a bolt of thunder that struck Huo Qiming's head, shattering his expression into pieces.

"Grandma, what do you mean?

Didn’t you say that I’m not allowed to marry for three years after Xu Junjun’s death?

Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Could it be that his grandmother realized that her time was up and no longer wanted to restrain him?

Thinking of this, Huo Qiming suddenly stood up and rushed to find a doctor.

"Grandma, are you feeling unwell? I'll go get a doctor right away to check your pulse."

Mrs. Huo stopped him from hurriedly walking out and said with a smile:

"Grandma isn't feeling unwell, but she feels that since Junjun is gone, it's pointless to blame you too much.

Instead of letting you waste three years, it is better to enjoy yourself and let you choose a suitable wife.

But, Grandma has only one thing to tell you.

This time, if you marry that person, you must treat him/her well.

I can’t let others suffer the pain of being alone in their boudoir like I did to Junjun in the past.”

When the old matter was brought up again, the eyes of Huo Qiming and Old Madam Huo became gloomy.

But this time, there was only nostalgia and relief in Mrs. Huo's old eyes, without any self-blame or regret.

"Don't worry, grandma. Your grandson has learned how to discern people's hearts and will not make the same mistake again."

Old Madam Huo nodded with satisfaction, and her heart was filled with comfort as she looked at her tall and handsome grandson.

"As long as you know.

Fortunately, it is not too late now.

Maybe, Grandma can hold on for another two years and watch you get married and have children."

Mrs. Huo's words were completely different from what she said in the past. Huo Qiming frowned as he heard them, but he didn't understand what had happened to make his grandmother seem to have come out of her previous regret and self-blame.

She now seems to be the same as when Xu Junjun was still alive. Her eyebrows and eyes are full of a smile of kindness and concern for the younger generation, which makes people feel warm at first sight.

Before Huo Qiming could carefully investigate the cause of Madam Huo's change, the Qingzhou official came breathlessly into the mansion to report:

"Major General Huo, something bad has happened, something bad has happened!!!

The Huns have sent their troops!"

Xu Junjun knew nothing about what happened after Qingzhou.

At this moment, she was blindfolded, her limbs were tied, and she was lying in a dilapidated temple that was drafty on all sides.

The musty and decaying smell of the dilapidated temple lingered in her nose. Her personal attendants, including Chen Liu, were nowhere to be found. Listening to the deliberately quiet footsteps around her, it seemed as if there was more than one person surrounding her.

The enemy is in darkness and we are in the light.

The enemy is numerous and we are few.

Xu Junjun lay on the cold ground, secretly cursing herself for being so unlucky. She wondered who she had offended again!

"Well, heroes, are you seeking wealth or sex?

I'm looking for money. I have a total of 1,200 taels of silver on me. Please take it. I will not hold you accountable.

Looking for a beauty. I am too ugly, so I can go to the building in the city to find a beautiful lady for you to enjoy.

Please be kind and let me go."
