Chapter 324: The King is here to pick up his wife. I hope the Royal Concubine will be accommodating.
Xu Junjun is like a little sun, always bringing warmth to those around her.
Niao Niao was now warmed by her again.
Nodding in agreement with Xu Junjun's words, Jiang Wumei couldn't help laughing and said softly:
“Yes, we two are the best.
I hope that in this life, we can stay with the people we love until old age.
With you, with me, with An'er..."
Jiang Wumei didn't say the rest of the words because she suddenly thought of Xiao Tong and was distracted unexpectedly.
The two best friends may not say that they are 100% in sync, but they are very familiar with each other.
As soon as Jiang Wumei stopped talking, Xu Junjun let go of her and sat up straight.
Looking at her best friend's breathtakingly beautiful face in the candlelight, Xu Junjun's eyes sparkled:
"Niao Niao, you have been busy with my affairs since returning to Beijing. I haven't asked you yet, what are you going to do next?
Now, the little brat will go back to the palace with you, and you are not allowed to leave the palace easily.
With the lessons learned from the previous incident, if Xiao Tong really cared about you, he would absolutely guard you tightly and would not give you another chance to escape.
He is the Great Saint Emperor. If he doesn't allow you to leave the capital, you will have almost no way out.
Based on our current bargaining chips, I'm afraid only the mother-child poison can be used.
But even though the Tianqi Shen clan can cure this mother-child Gu, it is not a foolproof solution.
If it really comes to that, you probably won't be able to stay as the Great Sage anymore.
By then, will you be willing to give it up?"
Xu Junjun looked at her best friend seriously, wanting to get the most truthful answer.
She brought Jun Xiaochen to the Great Sage not just for herself.
Xu Junjun had already thought about it. When she returned to the capital, if Niao Niao was determined to cut off all ties with Xiao Tong, for the safety of Niao Niao and her child, she would take her and her child away no matter what means.
As for the Great Saint Emperor's pursuit, let Jun Xiaochen deal with it.
Jiang Wumei instantly understood all that Xu Junjun meant.
But she couldn't give Xu Junjun a definite answer.
She hesitated.
At this point, Xu Junjun didn't understand that Xiao Tong, that bastard, had really won her best friend's heart.
Grinding his teeth, he scolded Xiao Tong bitterly, then pretended to be relaxed and smiled at Jiang Wumei:
“It’s such a big thing, take your time to think about it.
It’s still early anyway, so tell me when you’ve thought it through.
No matter what, I will stand firmly behind you."
The maid just brought the food, and the heavy topic dissipated in an instant. Xu Junjun touched her stomach and sat down at the table anxiously. She lowered her head and started eating without waiting for Jiang Wumei to sit down.
There was also a pot of wine on the table, which tasted sweet and mellow. Xu Junjun took two bites of the food, tasted the wine, and unknowingly drank a few more glasses.
After seven or eight glasses of wine, Xu Junjun felt hot all over, her face flushed. She put down her wine glass and lowered her head to eat, complaining as she ate:
"The food at the Huo family is too light, I didn't eat much at lunch.
In the afternoon, I remembered the appointment with Jun Xiaochen and was busy talking to the old lady for several hours without eating anything.
When I left the house at night, I was forced to watch a peacock fight. I didn't come back until now, and I almost starved to death.
I won’t take Jun Xiaochen with me tomorrow no matter what. My heart almost jumped out of my throat when I went there today.”
Jiang Wumei had just heard Xu Junjun's account of what had happened. Now she listened, moved the wine jug further away, and reminded with a smile:
"What are you afraid of? Jun Xiaochen knows his limits."
Xu Junjun rolled her eyes in an ungracious manner:
"His sense of proportion all comes from the confidence brought by his incredible strength.
If I hadn't stopped him today, he would have wanted to take on three of them alone and show off his prowess!"
Xu Junjun likes to use random words when she's excited. Jiang Wumei is used to it. She smiled and turned to ask Mrs. Huo:
"I'm going to the Huo Mansion today. Did Madam Huo give me any instructions?"
Xu Junjun bit her chopsticks and found her head a little dizzy. She was so busy talking about Jun Xiaochen and the father and son of the Huo family that she had forgotten about this.
Xu Junjun put down her chopsticks, took out the divorce letter from her bosom, handed it to Jiang Wumei, and continued to eat.
"This is what the old lady gave me today. Although it is of little use to me, I still kept it."
"He Lishu?"
Jiang Wumei was surprised, put down her chopsticks and opened the letter.
After carefully reading the entire paper, Jiang Wumei sighed and felt sorry for Xu Junjun:
"Mrs. Huo really loves you and has even considered this matter for you.
I think, even if you can't make it back this time, she will entrust this divorce letter to someone she trusts, and then pass it on to you."
The love between a mother and her child is touching.
Xu Junjun slowed down her eating pace, feeling depressed.
"Niao Niao, tell me, if she knew that I was just an outsider who came back to life through a shell, would she still be so nice to me?"
Jiang Wumei's voice was gentle but firm:
“Junjun, don’t doubt yourself.
If it weren't for you, Mrs. Huo would have died long ago.
In the entire Huo Mansion, the one that Old Madam Huo should be most grateful to and fond of is you..."
Xu Junjun's eyes were sore:
"Niao Niao, I'm afraid the old lady won't last more than seven days.
Seven days, 168 hours, Niaoniao, I never thought seven days could be so short. "
In front of Jun Xiaochen, she couldn't express her heart to him. Only in front of Niao Niao, she was the simple Xu Junjun who had strong emotions and loved to cry and laugh.
Jiang Wumei held the divorce agreement tightly, stood up and hugged Xu Junjun.
A warm embrace full of care suddenly came, and Xu Junjun was instantly overwhelmed by sadness.
Hugging Jiang Wumei's slender waist tightly, Xu Junjun felt a lump in her throat and burst into tears while clinging to Jiang Wumei.
This was the first elder she met in this other world who liked her. Why was he leaving so soon?
Why, the people who love her always disappear from her life gradually accompanied by various kinds of pain?
The distance between life and death is really too painful.
Jiang Wumei knew that what Xu Junjun wanted at the moment was not comfort, so she didn't need to say anything, she just had to stay with her quietly.
After crying for a while, Xu Junjun was tired and stopped eating. With a red face, she hugged Jiang Wumei and sobbed sadly.
Jiang Wumei felt distressed and asked the maid to take away the food and bring hot water for Xu Junjun to wash her face and hands.
Xu Junjun was a little drunk. In her current state, Jiang Wumei was worried about her going back to the yard alone, so she planned to sleep with her tonight.
But just as he helped the person to the bed, there was a knock on the door behind him.
Jiang Wumei turned around and saw an imposing man standing at the door. He was staring at the person with wet eyelashes on her bed, and his voice was slightly cold:
"I am here to pick up my wife. I hope the Royal Concubine will be accommodating."
