Chapter 520 Something Happened at Home

Upon hearing that something had happened to her family, Liu Qingru was stunned for a moment.

"Something happened to our family?"

Husband, are you sure you're not mistaken?

What could possibly happen to our family?

As Liu Qingru spoke, she ran to the chicken coop to check, and found that her brooding hen was incubating her eggs normally.

"It's okay, our chickens are perfectly fine."

Sijian and Sikang also wrote today; they are both doing very well…

Shen Junshan pondered for a moment; he hadn't told Liu Qingru about his background yet.

I didn't say anything before because I didn't want to involve her, but now that the imperial decree is almost here, there are some things I have to say...

"My husband..."

"Wife, there are some things I want to tell you, about my background..."

Shen Junshan recounted his entire background and the Xue family's situation.

Liu Qingru was stunned when she heard this. She never expected that she, a village woman, would marry the son of the Great General of the Nation by a twist of fate.

"Husband, do you mean that we're going to the capital after the Xue family has been exonerated?"

Shen Junshan nodded.

"Yes, the prince and Ning Baoxin said that the imperial edict is already on its way."

Liu Qingru's thoughts were still a bit chaotic and flustered at this moment, but the only thing she didn't feel was joy.

She didn't think going to the capital was a good thing. Back then, the Xue family, a large general's mansion, could be wiped out overnight, let alone them now.

"Wife, I'm sorry."

I originally planned to live a peaceful life in Chuyun Village, but I never expected that the Xue family would be exonerated.

The Xue family's enemies are stronger than before, and this return to the capital will certainly be fraught with danger.

By now, those people must already know about your existence and that of Sijian and Sikang.

Even if I wanted to send you away, it would be too late…

"My husband, I am not afraid."

We are husband and wife. As long as you don't mind that I'm a simple country woman, I won't leave you.

Shen Junshan pulled Liu Qingru into his arms, gently covering her mouth with one hand.

"Wife, marrying you is the greatest blessing of my life. Don't say things like that again."

Don't worry, no matter what happens in this life, I will never let you down...

Then Shen Junshan called Shen Yuzhen and Mu Chunping together and told them about the Xue family again.

Shen Yuzhen had no memories of her childhood, but after a few years of treatment by Bai Ming, the lesions on her body were basically cured.

Recently, she has been having vivid dreams, and now that Shen Junshan has mentioned them, she remembers them all.

Her name is Xue Yuzhen, and her elder brother is Xue Junshan. They were originally the children of a great general.

Because they were framed and all of the more than one hundred members of the Xue family were killed, they later went into hiding in the border region.

Chen is her mother's surname.

“Brother, Father’s remains have not been buried yet, we really need to go back.”

Shen Junshan shook his head.

"Yuzhen, you are a married woman. You only told me about this trip back to the capital, so you shouldn't come along and risk your life."

Moreover, the prince said that the journey would definitely be dangerous, and those who didn't want me to go back would surely try to take my life.

Father's remains are well preserved in the storage talisman Ningbao gave him. We'll find an opportunity to bury him and Mother together once things have calmed down.

Ningbao didn't say that you wouldn't be allowed to come to Beijing this year. He said he would wait until the situation in Beijing stabilizes next year before bringing you and the Mu family elders to Beijing.

Moreover, I haven't decided yet whether to bring my mother's remains to Chuyun Village for burial, or to send my father back to the capital to be with my mother.

So you're not in a hurry to go back; it's safer here than in the capital.

"But..................."

Shen Yuzhen was a little sad; she didn't want her older brother to face these dangers alone.

But it seems she can't be of much help.

Shen Junshan gave her a reassuring look.

"Yuzhen, I know you're worried about me. Don't worry, as long as you and your sister-in-law are doing well, that's the biggest help to me."

Mu Chunping, who had been silent until now, spoke up.

"Brother, do you intend to go to the capital alone?"
