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

The carriage stopped in front of the Huo Mansion.

Xu Junjun comforted Jun Xiaochen in the carriage, repeatedly warned him not to cause any trouble, and then got off the carriage and went to the gate of Huo Mansion to call for help.

The Huo Mansion still had the same group of servants. When they saw Xu Junjun appear at the door, their eyes widened as big as copper bells.

I almost thought I saw a ghost in broad daylight.

Even after Xu Junjun started talking, they were still frightened and crawled to ask for help from the steward of the mansion.

The manager came over in shock, and when he saw that it was really Xu Junjun, he immediately weakened and was almost frightened into a daze.

It was only when Xu Junjun smiled and waved to him, asking him to go in and report, that the steward came back to his senses from his panic and ran towards the mansion in sync, like a wooden man receiving instructions.

After receiving the old lady's order, the steward saw the person still standing at the gate looking around, and hurried forward:

“Young Madam, the old lady and the mistress were very excited to hear that you were back.

They are all waiting for you in the yard.

Please follow me in."

Hearing that Mrs. Huo and her former mother-in-law welcomed her back, Xu Junjun's smile brightened a little and she nodded.

"Thank you butler."

Turning around and waving in the direction of the carriage, signaling Weidong to take good care of his master, Xu Junjun strode into the Huo Mansion with his hands behind his back.

Wei Dong had a sullen face and looked miserable. Miss Xu wanted him to keep an eye on the master, so it would be better for her to handle the matter herself quickly.

Otherwise, when the Huo family father and son come back, he can't be sure that his master will not draw his sword.

Xu Junjun was completely deaf to Wei Dong's distressed voice. At this moment, looking at the familiar appearance of the Huo Mansion, Xu Junjun felt a little melancholy about returning home.

Although she never regarded the Huo Mansion as her safe haven, she has been living in the Huo Mansion since she came here with Niao Niao. With an elder like Old Madam Huo who cares about her in the Huo Mansion, Xu Junjun can't help but feel attached to the Huo Mansion and regard it as half a home.

Now, returning to his hometown, Xu Junjun felt a little worried and a little uneasy.

She was worried that Mrs. Huo would be angry when they met later.

The housekeeper looked at the woman walking in front of him with a swagger. Seeing that she was so familiar with every tree and blade of grass in the Huo Mansion, he became more certain that this was the young lady of his own house.

But if the young lady was not dead, why didn't she return to the Huo Mansion earlier, and why did she wander around alone for such a long time?

Also, whose body was that found and buried by the young master?

The butler was confused, but he also knew that these were not his concerns.

The housekeeper followed Xu Junjun with his head lowered and his eyes submissively, hoping to bring the young lady to the old lady as soon as possible.

"Grandma, have you been in good health since you returned to Beijing?

I heard that the Emperor sent a royal physician to the palace. Is Grandmother okay?"

The butler was walking quickly with his head down when Xu Junjun's voice suddenly sounded from the front. The butler was startled at first, then spoke truthfully:

"In reply to the young lady, the old lady has been coughing badly these past few days. The general, his wife, and the young general are worried, so they invited the imperial physician into the mansion."

In the past two days, several imperial doctors have frequently come to the mansion. The housekeeper had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't dare to speak nonsense in front of Xu Junjun.

Xu Junjun nodded, thinking it was nothing serious, and breathed a sigh of relief:

"Grandmother is not in good health. We should ask the imperial physician to come to the house for a detailed examination."

As he spoke, Xu Junjun's desire to see Mrs. Huo became more urgent. He quickened his pace and rushed towards Mrs. Huo's yard.

Xu Junjun walked quickly through the front yard of the Huo Mansion, passed by the exquisite garden with lush flowers and plants, and walked along the vermilion corridor.

The layout of the Huo Mansion remained the same as in previous years. Finally, after passing through the nine-curve corridor with exquisite corner lamps hanging on it, Xu Junjun finally saw the familiar courtyard.

Finally, she met the elders who loved her.

Looking across the huge courtyard, Xu Junjun saw the skinny old lady Huo standing on the stone steps. Her heart ached and tears welled up in her eyes.

She was afraid of returning home. Looking at the only elder in the Huo family who was sincere to her, Xu Junjun's eyes were red. Just like before, she forced a smile, waved to Madam Huo, and shouted:

"Grandma, Junjun is here to see you."

That face, as bright and dazzling as the little sun, came into view. Mrs. Huo burst into tears and nodded with a smile:

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

Mrs. Huo's face was as kind as ever. Xu Junjun felt a lump in her throat and her tears flowed faster.

Seeing that Mrs. Huo was so excited that she wanted to go down the stairs after seeing her, Xu Junjun quickened her pace, trotted across the yard, stepped onto the stone steps, came to Mrs. Huo, and supported her.

Holding the old man's skinny arm, tears welled up in his eyes. Xu Junjun's smile became forced, and he apologized bitterly:

"I'm sorry, Grandma, for making you worry."

Old Madam Huo shook her head, her face also full of tears. She raised her dry hands and caressed Xu Junjun's hair lovingly, as if she was looking at her most beloved granddaughter.

“No, Grandma wasn’t worried.

Grandma knows that our Junjun is the most amazing and can live a wonderful life of his own no matter where he is.

Grandmother is happy for you, happy that our Junjun no longer has to be trapped in the backyard and can explore the wider world like a free swift."

"grandmother."

Xu Junjun couldn't hold it in any longer and threw herself into Madam Huo's arms, choking with sobs.

"I'm sorry, Grandma, I haven't been able to write to you to let you know I'm safe for so long.

I know you are not in good health, but I can't come to see you.

You can blame me, but I will accept any beating or punishment you want today."

How could Mrs. Huo bear to punish her?

Holding Xu Junjun and patting her back gently, Mrs. Huo's face was full of heartache:

"Grandma won't punish you. As long as she knows you're safe, that's all that matters.

Don't cry, grandma still has a lot to say to you, go into the house with grandma."

Finding that Mrs. Huo was weak all over and her body was trembling slightly, Xu Junjun wiped away her tears, carefully supported her, and nodded obediently.

Everyone entered the room. Xu Junjun helped Mrs. Huo sit down before bowing to Su Yun:

“I hope Madam Huo will forgive me for my hasty entry into the mansion today.

Don't worry, I'll explain everything to Mrs. Huo after I examine Grandma's body."

When Su Yun heard Xu Junjun's name, his face changed slightly, but last night he learned from Mrs. Huo that Xu Junjun was still alive, so Su Yun drew a conclusion from the details.

The child in front of her has pride and pursuits that are no less than hers.

I'm afraid that this child is unwilling to be trapped in the backyard and become a grudge with Ming'er, so he is trying to find a way to leave.

That corpse was probably the child's way of leaving.

After figuring everything out, Su Yun sighed and nodded:

"No rush, we'll talk about other things later.

Come back today, Junjun, please have a good talk with your mother.

Mom's medicine hasn't arrived yet. I'll go to the kitchen to check. You two can chat slowly."

As soon as Su Yun moved away, Nanny Li, who had been serving Madam Huo, also asked the maids in the room to leave.

There were only three people left in the room. Madam Huo looked at Nanny Li:

"Junjun is back, please bring the things here."

"Yes, old lady."

Nanny Li left with red eyes. Not long after, she returned with a wooden box and respectfully handed it to Madam Huo.
