A husband found in the village? I bought a regent for a penny!

When Meng Chengping was mentioned again, He Jinglan wore a calm smile.

"Yes, I've made up my mind. I'm going to see him tomorrow morning."

“I took some good wound medicine with me when I went out, so I’ll give him two bottles.”

Gu Xixi smiled at her, without asking any further questions.

What He Jinglan "had in mind" was whether to forgive Meng Chengping and make a compromise, or to make a clean break and never look back.

Gu Xixi had a vague feeling that she was more inclined to believe the latter.

Perhaps the outcome of their meeting tomorrow will not be what General Huo desires.

As a mutual friend of the two, Gu Xixi decided to remain neutral, neither disturbing nor interfering.

For the rest, she only needs to quietly accompany them and provide support when appropriate.

Gu Xixi then made up her mind.

He Jinglan's eyes lit up again, and she said, "When I'm tired from my journey and pass by my dear friend's house, as the host, you'll surely invite me to stay for a few days, right?"

Gu Xixi couldn't help but chuckle, "So that's what you were planning when you went to all that trouble to take me home."

He Jinglan hugged her arm and shook it coquettishly, "Just tell me if you agree or not."

“Agreed!” Gu Xixi nodded. “As long as your family doesn’t pressure you, you can stay as long as you want.”

Anyway, Gu Xixi is now an entrepreneur with some financial resources, so supporting her sisters is not a problem.

I then slept for two hours.

Gu Xixi sensed movement beside her, turned over, and asked, "Are you getting up already?"

As He Jinglan put on her coat, she said, "I'll go and come back as soon as I've agreed with Mu Nanzhao."

She turned around and tucked the blanket around Gu Xixi, saying, "It's not even dawn yet. All the luggage is packed. You can get some more sleep."

"Wait for me to come back and then we'll set off."

Gu Xixi watched He Jinglan leave, then stared at the top of the bed curtains, unable to fall asleep again.

Meng Chengping was both a good person and a good general.

What if he develops psychological problems because of a breakup...

Gu Xixi sighed in annoyance.

In the Northwest Army camp, the sky was just beginning to lighten, and the night was still shrouded in darkness.

Mu Nanzhao successfully led He Jinglan to the tent where Meng Chengping was staying.

This was the first time in He Jinglan's life that she had approached a place inhabited only by men. Standing at the door, she couldn't help but hesitate.

Mu Nanzhao said, "Let's go in. He should be the only one here right now."

He Jinglan looked at Mu Nanzhao in surprise. It was so early; wasn't it time to get up and practice? Where were the others?

Mu Nanzhao wouldn't let her dawdle. "Time is limited. If you want to go in, I'll stay here and keep watch for you."

"If you don't want to go anymore, you can go back now."

"I'll go!" He Jinglan said hurriedly.

She looked at the tent entrance, suppressed her timidity, and resolutely lifted the curtain to go inside.

Mu Nanzhao's eyes were deep and unfathomable.

His ability to bring a woman into the military camp without hindrance was naturally arranged by Huo Jiang immediately upon hearing the news.

It's obvious that Meng Chengping's tent was also cleared out in an emergency.

He Jinglan came out in about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and as expected, it didn't take long.

The tent behind her remained as quiet as ever.

He Jinglan lowered the curtain and said calmly, "Let's go."

After leaving the military camp, Mu Nanzhao said that as He Jinghui's good friend, he had a responsibility to personally escort He Jinglan away and ensure her safety.

So the two of them went back to their family village together.

He Jinglan suddenly spoke up, "Aren't you going to ask me what I said to him?"

Mu Nanzhao replied, "No interest."

"Say what you want to say."

He Jinglan was furious, "How come you're still the same as before, completely disregarding other people's feelings! No wonder Gu..."

Realizing something was amiss, she quickly stopped talking.

Mu Nanzhao raised an eyebrow. "No wonder what?"

"It's nothing!" He Jinglan said firmly. "Anyway, I'm not in the mood to chat with you anymore, so shut up."

She silently thought to herself: No wonder Gu Xixi is still reluctant to marry you even though you're already living in someone else's house!

With a personality like that, what girl would really like him?

He Jinglan deeply felt that she had indeed been blind to the truth in her youth.

In the village of dependents, the He family's carriage, driver, guards, and shadow guards who secretly followed were all ready.

When the women in the village heard the news, they all rushed to see him off.

Gu Xixi said that when spring turns to summer, oats and alfalfa will need to be tended to in the next stage, and it will also be time to prune the branches of the Pinpo fruit tree.

So it won't be long before she comes back.

He Jinglan, however, had no such excuses. She could only try to smile easily and say, "I'm leaving now. Don't miss me too much. Maybe I'll suddenly come back one day."

The carriage was large enough to comfortably fit two people's luggage, plus two more adults.

Mu Nanzhao stood beside the carriage, watching the He family load their things.

He Jinglan deftly pulled Gu Xixi into the carriage, then waved perfunctorily to Mu Nanzhao through the window, which was her way of saying goodbye.

The carriage sped along, and the people and village behind it soon disappeared from sight.

He Jinglan was a little too excited and boisterous after boarding the car.

"Xixi, you're a large-scale farmer. When we got to your house, I went down to the fields with you!"

"Your home must be so warm and comfortable! I can't wait to go!"

"Wow, how delicious is Aunt Zhang's cooking?"

Gu Xixi looked at He Jinglan and said, "They've already gone far away. You don't have to smile if you don't want to."

He Jinglan froze, her smile slowly fading.

The swaying of the carriage only accentuated the tranquility inside.

After an unknown amount of time, He Jinglan finally spoke, "Xixi, he accepted the medicine I gave him."

Gu Xixi: "Mm."

He Jinglan: "I told him that I didn't blame him anymore, and I wasn't angry anymore."

"But I just don't like being hesitant and timid in relationships, because it hurts both myself and others."

Gu Xixi said gently, "So you didn't go to make up with him?"

He Jinglan thought for a moment, "If we can talk to each other calmly, then we can consider it a reconciliation."

"But he should also know that I am no longer the same person he used to be."

"But I still like him, so I'm leaving him."

"If he can figure it out himself, maybe we can still have a future; if not..."

"so be it."

Gu Xixi asked, "Are you going to wait for him?"

He Jinglan raised her chin and said proudly, "Who wants to wait? If I meet a suitable young man first, then naturally he has nothing to do with it."

Gu Xixi laughed, "Then I have to worry for General Meng. I hope he can understand this as soon as possible after the battle and satisfy Miss He."

Huachidu Village.

He Jinglan was thoughtful and worried that bringing too many people into the village would disrupt the peaceful life there.

Only the coachman was left to drive the carriage to Gu Xixi's house.

As soon as the carriage came to a stop, two people rushed out of Gu Xixi's house.

At the same time, several people ran over from the other side of the road.

These people were shouting as they ran.

Perhaps they were too emotional, and the sources of their voices were too chaotic.

He Jinglan didn't hear what was said clearly at first, so she turned her head and asked Gu Xixi, "Are the people in your village all this hospitable?"
