Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 245

Wu Qingyi only wrote to Wu Zhong and Emperor Zhengyuan that his mother and wife were still alive.

Wu Zhong was also a person who came down from the battlefield. He was used to being cautious. He only had someone carefully clean the yard of his house and inspect it himself. It was only that day he mentioned that matter.

The servants didn’t know why, but they also knew that Duke Ying didn’t want to talk much, and they didn’t dare to ask more. They just congratulated him together, and then hurriedly ran their own errands. Although they didn’t know from where the mistress appeared, after all, the young master of the mansion was coming back.

But Shen Hanchun was in panic——

What wife? She never knew!

The Wu family did have many members. After the war was settled, Wu Qingyi sent a letter to ask for the seal, and both his mother and wife, who died in the flood, were sealed.

Shen Hanchun lived her new chance in life by relying only on the ability of foretelling.

But a lot of things didn’t happen in her previous life, which made her panic.

Just when she fell into deep thoughts, the concierge came in and preached, “Master Ying, the general’s carriage has arrived at the intersection!”

Wu Zhong stood up immediately. He was not good at walking, and he had never left the house before, but at that time he picked up his crutches and limped out by himself.

Shen Hanchun immediately followed.

Although the situation was completely different from what she knew, the matter had already come to that point. Even if Wu Zhong’s wife came to the capital safely, she did not feel that she would lose to a mountain village woman.

Shen Hanchun adjusted the hairpin on her head, embodied the rules and etiquette she had learned in the palace in her previous life, and went out together.

Wu Zhong stopped panting as soon as he walked out of the yard. He asked Shen Hanchun to take someone out to meet them first, and then he took a break between his walks.

When Shen Hanchun walked to the door, she happened to see Wu Qingyi riding on a tall horse.

He was wearing his usual black outfit, which outlined his figure with broad shoulders and narrow waist. And he didn’t wear the black mask that covered half of his face anymore. AHis resolute and handsome face was exposed, and he had a soul-stirring bearing.

Shen Hanchun frowned, feeling more that things shouldn’t be like that when she saw him fine and sound.

She felt anger and resisted not bringing it to the face, just waiting to see the wife who Wu Zhong mentioned.

That country woman suddenly came into the city, thinking that she could live a good life with her husband and son, but would find out that the old man already had her by his side.

…………

On Gu Yin’s side, just as the carriage stopped, Mrs. Wang jumped off without anyone helping her.

Then she turned around and stretched out her hand to help Gu Yin, but Wu Qingyi had already walked to the other end of the carriage after dismounting. 

Mrs. Wang smiled and shrank her hand, and saw the box still in the carriage – the one with the kitchen knife. She didn’t like it, but Gu Yin kept it by her side every day.

She turned to pick up that one.

People naturally came to salute, and Mrs. Wang quickly took advantage of the time to look around.

The gate of the Duke’s Mansion was majestic, with two red lacquered copper nails on the gate, and a plaque with red lacquer gold characters on it. There were also two stone lions at the door, leaning on the pillars on the left and the right, with an extraordinary look.

All the servants dressed in uniform to serve, although they did not recognize her, they all had warm and attentive smiles on their faces.

Wow, her family was really going to live a good life!

Mrs. Wang’s eyes warmed, and then she thought that she shouldn’t be doing that, but to see if there was any concubine there.

Shen Hanchun, who stayed in the palace, was not inferior to ordinary palace staff in her ability to observe words and expressions.

The woman standing in front of her looked to be in her forties. Although she could see a bit of her youthful demeanor, she couldn’t compare to her age.

Aware of Mrs. Wang’s inquiring gaze, she immediately stood up straight and revealed a smile that she thought was very sweet, “You are the mistress, right? I…”

Mrs. Wang glanced at her and turned her head away.

That girl looked about the same age as her own daughter-in-law, and not as old as her eldest son. No matter how much Wu Zhong thought about it, he wouldn’t hit on a girl of that age and she laughed like a fool.

Shen Hanchun was staggered by Mrs. Wang.

Just as she stabilized her body and looked inside the carriage, a slender and tender hand lifted the curtain, and a beautiful and gentle female voice came from inside with a smile, “You take Wu’an down first.”
