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

The heavy snow has not stopped and Xu Junjun's eyelids have been twitching.

Thinking back on what had happened in the past few days, she always felt that something bad had happened to Jiang Wumei, and she was so worried that she even skipped a bowl of chicken soup for dinner.

Therefore, the next morning, when Xu Junjun went to the small Buddhist temple to accompany Mrs. Huo in chanting scriptures and praying for blessings, she, who was always lively, was particularly serious.

All she was thinking about was Jiang Wumei's safety and that the two of them, best friends, could make it to next year.

In the small Buddhist hall, the aroma of Buddhist incense is wafting.

After Mrs. Huo finished reciting the scriptures, she opened her eyes and saw Xu Junjun's serious and pious little face. She raised her eyebrows in surprise.

This girl, although she used to accompany me in chanting scriptures here, she was just pretending. Why is she so serious today?

"Madam, breakfast is ready. You can go and have dinner with the young lady."

Nanny Li lifted the door curtain and came in to report in a low voice.

Xu Junjun opened her eyes upon hearing this, and when she turned her head, she met Madam Huo's teasing gaze.

"Let's go and have dinner."

Old Madam Huo didn't tease her. She took the arm that Xu Junjun extended to her, stood up, and the two of them walked out.

Because of Madam Huo's health, the family usually eats light and healthy food.

The same goes for breakfast.

Xu Junjun didn't like bland soups, but after spending time with Mrs. Huo every day, she almost got used to them.

Seeing that she had a good appetite, Mrs. Huo nodded secretly and said:

"Junjun, how is the intelligence station that Concubine Jiang asked you to set up going?"

Xu Junjun swallowed a mouthful of porridge and said with a smile:

"Almost done, Grandmother. I plan to go to the Crown Prince's Mansion again today and hand the intelligence station over to Concubine Jiang."

Mrs. Huo nodded:

"That's good. It's better to do it sooner rather than later. If we hand it over sooner, Concubine Jiang can make plans sooner."

Thinking of that bright and beautiful woman, a hint of admiration flashed in Mrs. Huo's eyes.

"After His Royal Highness fell into a coma, Concubine Jiang maintained a firm grip on the Prince's residence without causing any trouble. She must be a perceptive person, and definitely not the frivolous and tyrannical person that is rumored outside.

When dealing with Concubine Jiang, you must remain innocent and not overthink her intentions."

Old Madam Huo loved Xu Junjun from the bottom of her heart, and was afraid that her recklessness would upset Concubine Jiang, so she couldn't help but give her a few more advice.

Xu Junjun nodded and promised:

"Don't worry, grandma. I'll save it."

After the grandfather and grandson finished their meal, Xu Junjun served Mrs. Huo tea and sent her to the small Buddhist hall to continue copying scriptures, then turned around and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Madam Li walked quickly into the Buddhist hall holding two letters and said happily:

"Madam, Madam, the general and the young master have sent letters."

Mrs. Huo showed joy on her face, took Xu Junjun's hand, and said hurriedly:

"Hurry, open it and see what they said tomorrow."

Nanny Li smiled and sighed, then opened the two letters and handed them to Mrs. Huo.

Mrs. Huo read it slowly, and the smile on her face could not be concealed at all. She smiled and said three good words:

"Good, good, good, great joy!"

Seeing her so happy, Xu Junjun curiously leaned over to take a look at the letter. When he saw it, he almost dropped his jaw in shock.

"Triumph?

Dad, Mom, and Huo Qiming are going back to Beijing!!!"

Mrs. Huo was overjoyed and didn't mind Xu Junjun calling her husband by his name. She smiled and said while holding the letter:

"Yes, I thought they would fight until the beginning of next spring, but I didn't expect that there would be civil unrest on the border, and the barbarians' morale would be low. Tomorrow they will make a decisive attack and defeat the enemy army, and they will be able to return victorious before the end of the year."

Having said this, Mrs. Huo stopped copying the scriptures and quickly stood up and said:

"Oh, oh, hurry up, send me the list of things you're going to buy for the New Year so I can see if there's anything missing.

This year, the whole family is at home, so we have to make it a lively occasion."

The heavy burden that had been weighing on her heart for the past few days was completely dispelled by the return of Huo Qiming, his father and his two sons. The old lady seemed to have become several years younger and began to make arrangements in high spirits.

Madam Li hurriedly said, "Oh!" and said with a smile:

"I will go get the order from the steward right away. Please wait a moment, Madam."

As soon as Li Ma left, Xu Junjun couldn't help herself:

"Grandmother, Huo... ahem, have my husband and parents said when they will return to Beijing?"

Mrs. Huo was still immersed in the excitement of her children and grandchildren's safe and triumphant return. After hearing this, she calculated the time briefly and estimated:

"About this month. If the army returns quickly, they will be in Beijing around the 20th."

Xu Junjun's eyes widened in disbelief:

"The 20th!"

So fast!

Huo Qiming will be back in twenty days, and that would mean her good days in the capital are over.

When Xu Junjun thought of that stupid dog, he felt very unlucky.

Perhaps it was because Xu Junjun's tone was too shocked that Old Madam Huo looked over with a smile.

Seeing the worry on her face, Mrs. Huo thought she was worried about Chen Yueer and comforted her:

"Don't worry, when he comes back tomorrow, grandma will explain to him everything about Chen Yue'er.

Ming'er is a good and sensible child. Once he understands the truth, he will definitely not vent his anger on you."

Xu Junjun curled her lips:

"I can't see."

If Huo Qiming had been sensible, he would not have married the original owner and allowed Chen Yue'er to run around in front of him.

He's just a blind idiot.

However, Xu Junjun would not curse directly in front of Mrs. Huo, but the look of disgust on her face said it all.

Mrs. Huo saw it all, but did not point it out. She just smiled, put the letter away, and walked out of the small Buddhist hall.

Junjun and Ming'er are both good children with bright and open minds. Although there is a gap between them at present, it doesn't matter. She believes that without Chen Yue'er interfering, the two children will definitely be able to understand each other and develop feelings soon.

Thinking that she might be able to hold her great-grandson in her arms soon, Mrs. Huo's smile deepened, her steps became lighter, and the wrinkles on her face faded a little.

Upon hearing this bad news, Xu Junjun was in no mood to stay in the mansion any longer. She said goodbye to the old lady and got on the carriage to the Prince's Mansion.

When Xu Junjun arrived, Jiang Wumei had just gotten up and finished breakfast.

After hearing her story, Jiang Wumei dismissed her attendants and also frowned:

"If I remember correctly, Huo Qiming's battle will not end until next spring. How could he return to Beijing so soon?

Has something unexpected happened on the border?"

Xu Junjun slapped the table and said irritably:

"That's right, who knew those barbarians were such trash!

I also said that Huo Qiming and the others were fighting on the border, so I could stay in the capital for a few more months. Once you succeed, we will find a way to get out.

I didn't expect Huo Qiming and his family to return to Beijing so soon. I still have to be a tortoise grandson for a few months."

Hearing her description, Jiang Wumei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and the doubts in her heart completely dissipated:

"Okay, don't be angry.

Don't think I don't know that you are a popular person in the general's mansion now.

Even if Huo Qiming and his parents come back, they will never make things difficult for you because of Chen Yue'er's poisoning last time.

You stay in the general's mansion. When Xiao Tong ascends the throne, we will take advantage of the chaos to leave.

Just bear with it for a while."

Xu Junjun sighed and said dejectedly:

"That's all."
