From the moment Wen Xiu and Li Jun had their bath water and chicken wire porridge, some inexplicable feelings began to arise between them. Li Jun stubbornly begged on as he went back to his room to sleep. Wenxiu muttered a few words, but she didn't angrily chase him away again.

Li Jun secretly rejoiced in her heart. His chance had come.

When his relationship with Wenxiu had steadied a little, he would tell Tree and Tong Tong that he was their father. In the future, he would let his father and mother grow up with them.

For several days in a row, Zeng Yi and Tang Yuan had seen their master's coquettish smile beneath his cold face. Although it looked quite proper, they knew that their lord had been overjoyed. As long as he could coax his mistress back, the family of four would have a happy and harmonious life, and his grandfather's life would be at its peak.

However, before the two of them could see their master continue on his journey, they received a message from the capital.

The Emperor ordered for Li Jun to return to the capital immediately.

Li Jun tightly gripped the long and thin piece of cloth. Her lips were pressed into a line, and her handsome face was covered in a layer of frost. Why did it have to be at this time?

Tang Yuan had always been calmer and more serious than Zeng Yi. When he saw Li Jun's unwillingness to part with the decree, he was worried that Li Jun would disrespect him and respectfully lowered his head to speak, "Master, forgive this subordinate for speaking so boldly. The safety of the country is more important than the safety of women and children. Please reconsider. "

Zeng Yi really wanted to pull Tang Yuan to the side and give him a good beating. He kept shooting daggers at Tang Yuan. Can't you see that I'm very sad and unwilling to leave? As a subordinate of this lord, why not support this lord at this time?

Really!

"Elder, actually …"

"No need to say anything, I understand." Li Jun raised her hand to interrupt Zeng Yi as she put the cloth down, "Tang Yuan is right. As long as things are peaceful, it doesn't matter whether they live their lives or not."

"Master …" Tang Yuan's voice immediately became choked with emotions.

Before Zeng Yi could finish his sentence, he felt a lump in his throat. Since Master had already made a decision, he could only swallow back the words of support he had left behind with difficulty. He then said, "Master, how about we wait for the young master and his wife to come back so that you can meet them again?"

Li Jun was already reluctant to part with it, but hearing Zeng Yi's words, she followed the pole and climbed up, "Okay."

It was true that they would have to return to the capital immediately. They just needed to reach the capital before the deadline.

After the three of them finished their discussion, Tang Yuan and Zeng Yi went to prepare for their departure while Li Jun carried the wild chicken he had hunted in the forest home early in the morning to prepare lunch. He was leaving again, and he didn't know when he would see her again.

Wenxiu brought the two children to the market, saying that she wanted to take the children to learn more about the market and buy some things for the children as well. He had originally wanted to go with her, but Wen Xiu had refused. What did it matter to him if a man like her followed him? She wanted him to stay and watch over the house. Actually, he understood in his heart that Wenxiu was finding an excuse because she didn't want him to pay.

Li Jun didn't know how to cook delicate dishes. After cleaning up the wild chicken, he chopped it into pieces and put it in the pot for simmering. Compared to dark cooking, a pure wild chicken soup was already considered pretty good.

At noon, the wild chicken stew came out. The fragrance drifted far away. Li Jun had packed the chicken soup, stewed the rice, and prepared the tableware. He only needed to wait for the three of them to come back before he could start eating.

However, he waited and waited. Even after noon had passed, he still couldn't see the three of them.

Why isn't he back yet?

Li Jun was a little worried, but she knew that nothing would happen to Wenxiu if she went to town with Song Xiaoyue and Mrs Zhang. At most, the three of them would be happy to buy it with their children, which was why they were delayed.

It was not too late yet, wait a little longer!

"Master, the Madam hasn't come back yet?"

After the appointed time had passed, Tang Yuan was worried that Li Jun would change his mind and offend Long Wei, making Zeng Yi wait by the river. He hurriedly ran to Wen Xiu's house, but when he saw Li Jun sitting alone in the kitchen, he couldn't help but ask.

Li Jun didn't even look at him. No one knew what he was thinking, but he suddenly stood up and said in a heavy voice, "Let's go!" He stood beside the stove and warmed the chicken soup in the pot.

"Yes sir!"

A part of Tang Yuan's heart was moved, some envy, some pain.

After Li Jun and the other two left the village, it was only a quarter of an hour after the time was given to them that Wen Jiu returned home with his heavy basket on his back and his two children by his side.

"Mother, I want to eat sugar, I want to eat sugar!"

Before Wenxiu could put down the basket, the Tong Tong Tong couldn't wait to pester her mother for some candy. Mother spent a large amount of money to buy the colorful candy, it was both sweet and beautiful.

"Tong Tong, wait for mother to put down the basket first." The tree also wanted to eat, but it wasn't as impatient as the Tong Tong.

After putting down the basket, she took out the candies hidden in the lower layer and handed them to the tree to keep according to the old rules, "Each person will have one, but you can't eat too much."

"Alright!"

After the siblings received the candies, they happily went to have fun.

Today's trip to the market was truly tiring. The things the three families bought were all different, so they forcefully went through all the shops and delayed a lot of time. In the end, they even ate a meal in the town.

They bought a lot of stuff, heavy stuff, and brought two kids. When they came back, they hired an oxcart. As for her, in order not to suffer from the jolting, she put the basket back on the cart and trotted back.

Tired!

Seeing the two happy siblings playing in the yard, she could not help but admire the little guy's good stamina. After walking for an entire day, he still had the spirit to play. It was great!

Eh, where's Li Jun?

Didn't she tell him to look after the house?

Wenxiu didn't see Li Jun. She felt a little strange, but the first thing she did was to marinate the pork. Once it tasted good, she would hang it under the eaves to dry. If he didn't marinate it in time and it turned bad, he would be in deep trouble.

A whole ten catties of streaky pork, he had spent almost a hundred gold coins!

When Wenxiu saw the chicken soup in the wok along with the tableware arranged neatly in front of her, she felt an ominous premonition. She hurriedly put down the meat in her hands and ran into the small room. The two sets of clothes that Li Jun usually washed were no longer on the bed.

He left again?

Li Jun had left again. Wenxiu could not tell what she was feeling. This was something that should have made her very happy, but she was actually depressed and took her child to look around the village.

Wang Yanqing, who hadn't seen Li Jun before today, shook her head at Wen Xiu. His childhood brother's return had caused him to be unable to understand what he was thinking.

Song Xiaoyue looked at the lost expression on Wenxiu's face. She was very worried, but she was also helpless. A woman, even if she was strong, how many times could she bear it if her man left without a word?

When Wen Xiu returned from the Wang family's residence, she served the chicken soup onto the table, gritted her teeth, and greeted the child.

Li Jun was just a passerby in their lives. Without him, their life would have gone on.
