The Three Kingdoms: Home Travel

And so, Jiang Zhe walked ahead, but every now and then he would turn around to look behind him. He was surprised to find that the girl had actually followed him. Oh well, the truth will come out eventually.

Mi Zhen was dressed as a woman today, taking small steps to follow closely behind Jiang Zhe. When she saw the villain in front of her walk a while and then look back, she felt a little happy for some reason. Was this his way of showing concern?

Jiang Zhe, still lost in thought, hadn't come up with a solution when he looked up and realized he was already home. "That's...that's it..." he said awkwardly as he turned around.

At this moment, Mi Zhen seemed unusually quiet. She nodded slightly, glanced at the room, and followed Jiang Zhe inside.

"Xiuer..." Jiang Zhe called out.

"Husband, you're back..." Xiu'er walked out with a smile, but when she suddenly saw Mi Zhen behind Jiang Zhe, she was stunned. She looked at Jiang Zhe somewhat at a loss.

Seeing the confusion in Xiu'er's eyes, Jiang Zhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to say softly, "Remember? That girl last time... I don't know why, she insisted on coming to our house to see us..."

"Oh?" Xiu'er breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Jiang Zhe's explanation. Didn't she know what kind of person her husband was? She glanced at Mi Zhen and greeted her with a smile, "So it's you, little sister... please come in..."

"Oh... thank you, sister... sister." Mi Zhen seemed a little reserved around Xiu'er. She had carefully observed Xiu'er and secretly compared her to herself, but the result made her bite her lip.

"Where should I put this?" Jiang Zhe asked, picking up the item in his hand.

"Please put it in the kitchen, my husband. Xiuer will be there in a bit..." Xiuer replied to Jiang Zhe, then pulled Mi Zhen inside.

Jiang Zhe shrugged, seemingly relieved that the worst-case scenario wasn't going to happen, and hummed a little tune as he went into the kitchen.

"Sister Xiuer..." Mi Zhen asked softly, "You...you are really his...his wife?"

"Is something wrong?" Xiu'er asked with a slight surprise, as she poured Mi Zhen a cup of tea and said with a smile, "But sister, I can only be considered half a member of the Jiang family now..."

"Huh?" Mi Zhen was genuinely puzzled.

"I will marry my husband once he defeats the Yellow Turbans..."

"He...he?" Mi Zhen exclaimed, her eyes wide with astonishment. "He repelled the Yellow Turban rebels?"

"Oh...yes!" Xiu'er said, puzzled. "Is there anything strange about it...don't you recognize my husband?"

"Is that villain very famous?" Mi Zhen asked.

"A villain?" Xiu'er sighed inwardly when she saw Mi Zhen use the word "villain" without a trace of resentment in her words.

My husband's surname is Jiang, his given name is Zhe, and his courtesy name is Shouyi...

"Jiang Shouyi?" Mi Zhen exclaimed, her eyes wide. "He...isn't his name Lu Renjia?"

"Lu Renjia? A passerby?" Xiu'er had been with Jiang Zhe for so long that she could be said to know him the most. She naturally understood the meaning of words like Lu Renjia, Wu Ciren, and so on. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.

"Passerby A...hehe..."

"...Sister?" Mi Zhen looked at Xiu'er with a puzzled expression, then suddenly asked, "Sister, does that villain have a brother?"

Brother? Xiu'er blinked and immediately understood, then shook her head and said, "Never..."

"Damn it!" Mi Zhen frowned and scolded playfully. So it turned out that this villain had been coming and going right under her nose all along, and was even using the alias Lu... Passerby A? Passerby B?

Xiuer secretly stuck out her tongue. "It's getting late. If you don't mind, little sister, you can eat something here to repay me..."

Mi Zhen puffed up her cheeks and remained silent, fuming.

Xiuer chuckled and shook her head, saying, "Sister, please sit down. I'll be right back..."

Xiuer entered the kitchen, glanced back at the sulking Mi Zhen, and noticed a hint of melancholy between her brows. Seeing Jiang Zhe busy at the counter, Xiuer went over and pressed her face against Jiang Zhe's back, hugging her tightly. Jiang Zhe immediately stopped what she was doing.

"My husband..."

"What's wrong, Xiuer?" Jiang Zhe asked curiously, unable to see Xiuer's face as she was being held like that.

"My lord... I will be your wife, the first wife of the Jiang family, right... right?" For some reason, Xiu'er's voice seemed to tremble slightly.

"First wife?" Jiang Zhe muttered to himself. What did "first wife" mean?

"My husband..."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Zhe turned around, cupped Xiu'er's face in his hands, and stared at her intently for a long time, until Xiu'er's face turned bright red.

Xiuer thought her secret had been seen through and panicked. "Why is my husband looking at me like that...?"

"Are you alright?"

"What...what could possibly be wrong with me?" Xiu'er said in a low voice, her head bowed.

"Then why did you ask such a strange question just now?"

"Really...really?" Xiu'er was startled and immediately looked up to ask, "Is it...is it strange?"

"..." Jiang Zhe opened his mouth, touched Xiu'er's face with his hand, and asked curiously, "Why is your face so red? Are you not feeling well?"

"No...no..." Xiu'er covered her face with her small hands. "It's normal..."

Jiang Zhe frowned as he looked at Xiu'er, then suddenly looked towards the hall, realizing what was going on. He pointed at Xiu'er and laughed, "Oh... I see... Xiu'er misunderstood, she's jealous..."

"No way!" Xiu'er said coquettishly, pouting and glaring at Jiang Zhe with a sullen look in her eyes as she saw his mischievous grin.

"Hehe!" Jiang Zhe chuckled, leaning close to Xiu'er's ear and saying, "Idiot! You're my wife! That girl has nothing to do with me!"

Xiuer's eyes lit up when she heard the first sentence, and a feeling of relief welled up in her heart. This bad guy... his words always moved her so much. But as for the second sentence, she pouted to herself, "It doesn't matter, that girl will come to our house with you, silly husband!"

"Alright, alright, stop being jealous!" Jiang Zhe said, rubbing Xiu'er's hair.

"Oh dear!" Xiu'er was both embarrassed and angry, and immediately angrily "kicked" Jiang Zhe out of the kitchen.

Hey! So she's jealous. Women in ancient times got jealous too... Jiang Zhe shook his head and looked up, then froze.

Mi Zhen glared at him angrily, her eyes filled with rage.

"Ah... this..." Jiang Zhe hesitated awkwardly, "Um... I apologize for the poor hospitality... please make yourself at home..."

"What a Lu Renjia! What a Lu Renyi!" Mi Zhen's eyes welled up with tears, and she felt a deep sadness in her heart.

"No, no... don't cry!" Jiang Zhe glanced at the kitchen, then looked around, and quickly stepped forward, saying, "I beg you... please don't cry, okay? Otherwise, people will think I'm bullying you!"

"You're just bullying me!" Mi Zhen snorted, but her tearful onslaught seemed to have subsided somewhat.

"Cough..." Jiang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and said ingratiatingly, "I didn't mean to lie to you..."

"Then why did you give me a fake name, and what about that 'brotherly' talk... You big liar!"

A bead of cold sweat clung to Jiang Zhe's forehead. "Please, you came over so aggressively that day, I... tell me, did I...?"

"So aggressive?" Mi Zhen paused, recalling the events of that day, her face flushing slightly, but she still retorted defiantly, "Then why did you lie to me later?"

"That's..." Jiang Zhe was embarrassed, unable to find a reason this time. Seeing that the girl seemed about to start again, he quickly said, "No, no, no... See, I didn't lie to you today, did I?"

Mi Zhen's piercing gaze made Jiang Zhe feel a little guilty. Fortunately, Mi Zhen didn't press the matter further, only saying softly, "You liar, let me ask you, why didn't you lie to me today?"

I regret not continuing to lie to you! No wonder my brother used to say that if you're going to lie to someone, you have to lie to them for life, especially when it comes to women. I didn't understand what he meant back then, but now I finally do.

"Well... it's been windy these past few days..." Jiang Zhe said to Mi Zhen somewhat embarrassedly, "What if you get sick standing at the crossroads (wouldn't it be my fault)... Besides, I ran into you again today (I really regret taking that road)... So..."

Mi Zhen looked intently at Jiang Zhe and simply uttered, "Oh..."

It's temporarily resolved!

Seeing that the girl was not speaking and the atmosphere was a bit strange, Jiang Zhe quickly made an excuse and ran to the kitchen.

"Jiang Zhe... Jiang Shouyi..." Mi Zhen murmured.
