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

Chunlan looked at her master with shock on her face, but Xu Junjun heartlessly changed the subject:

"Okay, it's getting late, hurry up and ask someone to bring some hot water.

I have some important things to do tomorrow, so remember to wake me up early in the morning."

Waving his hand to send Chunlan away, Xu Junjun opened the box and started counting the items with shining eyes.

Chunlan couldn't persuade her, so she had to leave the room and go outside to pass on the message.

What happened in the courtyard soon reached the ears of Mrs. Huo.

After listening to the servant's report, Mrs. Huo sighed and waved the man away.

Seeing her frown, Madam Li asked in a low voice:

"Is the old lady worried that the young master will be angry with the young lady?"

Mrs. Huo shook her head, her face full of worry:

"I'm not worried that Ming'er will be angry with Junjun, I'm worried that Junjun and Ming'er will become estranged.

Junjun looks lively and carefree on the surface, but he is actually a very independent child.

If she really wants to leave Ming'er, I can't stop her."

Matron Li said in surprise:

"Madam, did you misunderstand?

The young lady is living well in the mansion, why would she leave the young master?

"From my perspective, although there is some estrangement between the Young Master and the Young Mistress, Chen Yue'er is dead, and this estrangement will eventually dissipate, and they will reconcile sooner or later."

Mrs. Huo sighed even more heavily:

“I used to think so too, but ever since Junjun came to me on behalf of Concubine Jiang to lobby for me to borrow the palace guards, I no longer have this idea.

In the past, I thought Concubine Jiang was a very insightful woman, rare in the world.

But the last time I saw you, Junjun was also a pearl covered in dust.

If she is willing to accompany Ming'er sincerely, within ten years, the Huo family will reach a higher level with her help.

Unfortunately, Ming'er is blind and cannot see the preciousness of Junjun at all. Instead, he is willing to die for the hypocritical and heartless Chen Yue'er.

If he were not the only legitimate son of the Huo family and had pledged allegiance to the imperial court, I would have had Zhengfeng break his legs and throw him into the military camp to fend for himself."

Mrs. Huo's words were so serious that Nanny Li couldn't help but be shocked.

But judging from her daily interactions with Xu Junjun, Nanny Li actually agreed with what Mrs. Huo said.

The sage said that a wise ruler should be able to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, know how to use people and how to protect the country for a long time.

As the next head of the General's Mansion, if Huo Qiming cannot keep a clear mind and distinguish right from wrong, the Huo family will sooner or later be doomed to decline.

This was also the reason why the old lady tried her best to prevent Chen Yue'er from marrying into the Huo family.

Marrying an unworthy wife will ruin three generations!

I wonder when the young master will understand the old lady’s good intentions.

After much thought, Nanny Li was also worried about the future of the Huo family. She hesitated for a while and whispered:

"How about asking the Master and the Madam to persuade the Young Master?

The master has been a role model for the young master since he was young. Perhaps it would be more effective if the master were to persuade the young master."

Madam Huo closed her eyes and shook her head:

"If he could be persuaded, Ming'er wouldn't have insisted on marrying Chen Yue'er into the mansion.

That’s all, everything is fate.

If Ming'er can keep Junjun within three years, that would be the best. If not, I, an old man, will make the decision to set Junjun free.

As for Ming'er, he will regret it sooner or later."

"Old lady..."

Nanny Li was shocked. There had never been a precedent of divorce in the Huo family. Did the old lady want to be the sinner?

"No need to say more, it's getting late, go to bed."

After this conversation, the old lady seemed to be hunched over a bit. Her frail figure in the candlelight made Li Ma feel even more sad.

The next morning, Xu Junjun got up very early.

He went to Madam Huo's courtyard to check her pulse and had breakfast with her before returning to the courtyard and taking the gold, silver and jewelry in the box out of the house to exchange for silver bills.

This time Jiang Wumei gave a full box of things. Xu Junjun found the pawnshop owner who had received favors from her and exchanged them for six thousand taels of silver notes.

Including the savings they had made before, she and Niao Niao now had almost 50,000 taels of silver notes.

With this money, they could buy a manor in Yangzhou and still have tens of thousands of taels left to squander, which would not be a problem even for them to find young prostitutes every day.

Thinking of such a wonderful day which was just around the corner, Xu Junjun couldn't help laughing out loud on the return carriage.

After returning to the Huo Mansion, Xu Junjun put the six thousand taels of silver notes into the silver note box, and then went to the courtyard of Old Madam Huo to recite scriptures with her.

After chanting the scriptures, the two washed their hands, burned incense and began to copy Buddhist scriptures.

As it was almost noon, Huo Zhengfeng and Su Yun returned from their camp outside Beijing to have dinner with Mrs. Huo.

The same goes for Huo Qiming.

However, compared to yesterday, today Huo Qiming turned his eyes away when he saw Xu Junjun, and Xu Junjun was so happy that she raised her head towards him proudly.

Madam Huo took in the reactions of the two people, sighed secretly, and said:

"Let's have a meal."

Xu Junjun helped Mrs. Huo to sit down, then stepped back a few steps and sat below Su Yun.

The maids arranged the dishes in order, and then Mrs. Huo started to pick up her chopsticks, followed by Huo Zhengfeng, Su Yun and others.

After lunch, they rinsed their mouths with tea and moved to the side hall. Old Madam Huo sat at the head and talked about business:

"Next year, I plan to let Junjun take full charge of the Huo family's finances and arrange for the reception and farewell of each clan. Do you have any objections?"

Huo Zhengfeng and his wife looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, Su Yun spoke:

“Everything is arranged by my mother.

My daughter-in-law and my husband are stationed at the frontier all year round. Junjun has been able to show filial piety to you on behalf of my husband and me and to take care of the Huo Mansion. He is a great contributor to our Huo family.

My wife and I can rest assured that she will be in charge of the Huo family's finances."

Su Yun looked at Xu Junjun and waved at her:

"Junjun, come here."

Xu Junjun hadn't recovered from Mrs. Huo's words yet. When she heard Su Yun's voice, she subconsciously took a few steps forward. It was not until she felt a chill on her wrist that she suddenly woke up.

She looked down and saw a emerald green jade bracelet hanging on her slender wrist. From the fact that it warmed up a little when she touched it, she knew it was worth a lot of money.

"This is our Huo family's heirloom jade bracelet, which was given to me by my mother herself.

Now that you are Ming'er's wife, I give you this jade bracelet."

Mrs. Huo, the head of the group, was very satisfied with the attitude of Su Yun and his wife. Seeing Xu Junjun's eyes wide open and silent, she smiled and said:

“Since Yun’er gave it to you, you should keep it well.

When you marry Ming'er's child in the future, you can pass this jade bracelet on to your descendants."

Seeing the great significance of this jade bracelet, Xu Junjun was silent for a moment. After forming a plan in her mind, she smiled, raised her head, and saluted Su Yun:

"Don't worry, mother. Your daughter-in-law will live up to your and father's expectations and take good care of grandma."

As for the matter of the Huo family's household expenses, Xu Junjun did not mention it at all. Anyway, she would be leaving Beijing soon, and the Huo family would have nothing to do with her at that time. Why bother about whether the household expenses were taken care of or not?

As for the jade bracelet, she would throw it to Huo Qiming when she got home in the evening and let him worry about it himself.

Seeing that Xu Junjun did not refuse, Mrs. Huo smiled more and talked with her children and grandchildren for a long time before returning to her room tiredly for a nap.

Huo Qiming just stared at Xu Junjun from beginning to end without saying a word.

He did not express any opinion on her being in charge of the household affairs of the Huo Mansion.

……

In the court, because the prince has awakened, the situation is turbulent and everyone is in danger.
