Mrs. Huo's voice was gentle, without any sense of coercion. She was discussing something with Xu Junjun.

As a dying elder, I want to fulfill my final concern.

Xu Junjun heard what Mrs. Huo said, but her eyes paused, surprised and worried:

"Grandma, do you know everything?"

Mrs. Huo still smiled:

“Grandma is just old, not useless.

Ming'er came here today in that state and lied to me that he fell in the martial arts training ground. Do you think grandma would believe it?

Don't be afraid, grandma doesn't blame you.

Grandma just hopes that you can find a good man.

Grandmother wants to meet this man, just to see what kind of character he has and whether he is worthy of you."

The sunlight swayed gently, and a breeze mixed with the fragrance of flowers blew into the room, dispersing the smell of medicine that filled the room.

Mrs. Huo exudes a kind and loving aura.

Xu Junjun held Mrs. Huo's hand tightly, her eyes slightly red.

“Don’t worry, grandma, any man who catches my eye is good.

He was very kind to me and respected me very much, but because of his special status, I didn't bring him into the house rashly.

But if you want to see it, I'll bring him here sometime."

Mrs. Huo nodded with satisfaction and talked to Xu Junjun about other things.

The grandfather and grandson got along very harmoniously. In the gradually setting sunlight, they sat on the soft couch by the window, chatting with each other and occasionally laughing, showing that they were in a happy mood.

Old Madam Huo was in much better spirits today than she had been some time. Xu Junjun sat by the couch, propping up her cheek and listening to Old Madam Huo talk about her youth with a smile on her face. When she heard something impressive, she clapped her hands enthusiastically and praised her, saying, "Grandma is so amazing," which made Old Madam Huo laugh.

Happy times are always short-lived.

In the blink of an eye, the sun sets and it is time for dinner.

In the past, Mrs. Huo usually had a poor appetite for dinner and would quickly eat a bowl of tonic soup before putting down her chopsticks and leaving.

But today, she had a bowl of rice for the first time and ate many of her favorite dishes.

Xu Junjun, Huo Zhengfeng and his son had smiles on their faces, but they felt heavy in their hearts.

After dinner, Xu Junjun stayed with the old lady for a while and then prepared to leave.

But this time, before she left, Mrs. Huo handed her a wooden box.

Unlike the light box that contained the divorce papers last time, the wooden box given by Mrs. Huo this time felt heavy as soon as Xu Junjun took it.

"Junjun, go back and take a look.

This is a gift from your grandmother, you must accept it."

There was a small lock made of black iron on the wooden box, and the key was put into a sachet by Li Ma and hung around Xu Junjun's waist.

Xu Junjun seemed to have sensed something. When she left, she rushed to Mrs. Huo, hugged her tightly, and choked with sobs and whispered:

"I'm sorry, grandma, I lied to you all these years.

I, I am not your real granddaughter-in-law Xu Junjun. I am a different soul from the future. It is just a coincidence that I have taken over your granddaughter-in-law's body."

There was no one else in the room. Xu Junjun cried and trembled all over, revealing the biggest secret hidden in her heart.

She was afraid that if she didn't say it, she would never have another chance.

Unexpectedly, there was no sign of surprise on Mrs. Huo's old face.

Mrs. Huo smiled even more kindly, caressing Xu Junjun's smooth black hair lovingly:

"Silly child, grandma knows, grandma knows everything."

Mrs. Huo also went through many ups and downs when she was young.

She has seen and heard everything.

She never believed that someone could change his personality so drastically overnight and show amazing medical skills.

She already knew the only explanation.

However, Mrs. Huo never thought about investigating further.

Junjun is a good child. She treats me well with all her heart and just wants to live well in the Huo Mansion with my help. I will give it to her.

The relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren that was extended under the pretense of deafness and dumbness was what Mrs. Huo cared about the most. She was worried about this child, and worried that after she was gone, Xu Junjun would be beaten to a bloody pulp in this world.

But, for now, she wasn't worried.

Hearing what Mrs. Huo said, Xu Junjun was shocked at first, but in the next moment, she hugged Mrs. Huo tightly and cried even harder.

By the time Xu Junjun came out of Mrs. Huo's courtyard holding the wooden box, it was already dark in the capital.

Huo Qiming stood under the corridor, looking at Xu Junjun with red eyes. With mixed feelings, he took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, but Xu Junjun ignored him.

Xu Junjun rubbed her eyes and walked past him. Huo Qiming stopped for a moment and followed her with a bad feeling.

"Grandma..."

As soon as Huo Qiming opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Xu Junjun:

"Tell the servants in the mansion not to sleep for these two nights."

Xu Junjun had just cried and her voice was hoarse. Huo Qiming heard the hidden meaning in her words and his face was filled with deep sadness.

The two walked to the front yard of the Huo Mansion, one in front of the other. Seeing the gate right in front of them, Huo Qiming suddenly spoke:

"Xu Junjun, have you really made up your mind?

You don't have to find someone to deal with just to get revenge on me.

Your grandmother loves you so much, and the Huo family will not make things difficult for you.

You might as well think about it for a while before making a decision."

Huo Qiming found it very difficult to say these words, but he knew that if he didn't say them tonight, he might never have another chance.

Xu Junjun suddenly stopped and turned to stare at Huo Qiming. Her pair of red eyes shone like stars in the dark night.

"Huo Qiming."

Xu Junjun called his name, and Huo Qiming straightened his back reflexively, waiting for Xu Junjun's next scolding.

But this time, Xu Junjun did not scold him for the first time, but stared at him with a look of pity and sadness.

Huo Qiming felt a pain in his chest, and felt that Xu Junjun's appearance made him more uncomfortable and embarrassed than if she had scolded him.

Then he heard Xu Junjun's bitter voice:

"Huo Qiming, our marriage was not our original intention.

Afterwards, it is reasonable for them to become enemies.

When I was the young lady of the Huo family, my grandmother was the only one who understood and supported me.

Now, only my grandmother is happy that I have finally escaped from suffering.

In the Huo family, only my grandmother truly understands me, loves me, knows how difficult my life is, and sympathizes with my hard work.

If grandma passes away, there will be no connection between us anymore.

Don't worry too much about my affairs.

From now on, we’ll just be strangers.”

Xu Junjun is not a narrow-minded person. Back then in the Huo Mansion, the troubles and embarrassments that Huo Qiming brought her were real.

All the good things she did for the Huo family were based on the premise that Old Madam Huo was still alive.

If Mrs. Huo passed away, she thought, there would be no need for her to contact the Huo family anymore.

After confirming this, Xu Junjun finally nodded to Huo Qiming and walked out of the Huo Mansion gate holding the wooden box.

The wheels rolled, and the exquisite carriage slowly disappeared from sight.

Huo Qiming stood in front of the mansion gate, looking at the endless darkness. His heart felt empty as if it had been gouged out, and it ached fiercely.

Xu Junjun returned to the house and went to find Jiang Wumei with the box in her arms, but unexpectedly learned that Jun Xiaochen had been taken to the palace by Xiao Tong and had not returned yet.

Xu Junjun knew that Xiao Tong would not do anything to Jun Xiaochen, so she was careful and told Jiang Wumei about the situation in the Huo Mansion.

After the two best friends finished talking, Xu Junjun opened the wooden box, but when she saw that it was full of land deeds and house deeds, her eyes turned red.

Jiang Wumei looked at the location of the land deed and house deed and sighed:

“These are all Madam Huo’s private property and do not belong to the Huo family.

Since she gave it to you, you should accept it."

Xu Junjun's eyes were red, and she rubbed her fingertips back and forth on the wooden box, saying in a deep voice:

"Niao Niao, I told Madam Huo that I am not Xu Junjun.

She was not surprised at all and gave these things to me.

Why do you think she is so nice to me?

So good, I don’t know how to repay it…”
