He pushed the messy hair out of his eyes, "Grandma, I am Leiyun. Look, I am really back."

"Grandson, wuwuwu." Old Madam Lei's body, which was leaning on a cane, swayed and threw herself into Lei Yun's arms. "My grandson, how long have you been dead for your soul to come back?"

"Grandma, I'm not a ghost. I'm alive and well. Look."

Madam Lei pinched Lei Yun's face and said, "This beard is prickly, but it's really alive. You are not dead."

"Grandma, who told you that I was dead?"

"I've heard that the epidemic in Lingnan is so serious."

"But have you heard that the Emperor went to Lingnan in person?"

"That's not the case. Did the emperor lead the army in person?" This should be a court secret that will not be announced to the outside world. It is reasonable that she doesn't know about it.

"Well, the epidemic was under control last month. I returned to the capital with the emperor. The emperor sympathized with us and was willing to let us return together. I was also rewarded by the emperor and promoted to the rank of Chang Yue Feng."

He has not returned to Beijing for ten years since his father passed away and he took over the throne.

On weekdays, he would write a letter to his grandmother every month, but during the year of the Lingnan epidemic, he rarely wrote.

My grandmother has always lived a simple life, and there are not many maids and servants in the Lei Mansion. Moreover, he rarely sees the emperor, speaks bluntly, is not very sociable, and is not a favorite of the emperor. So the Lei Mansion is not as luxurious as other generals' mansions.

But this is also in line with my grandmother's personality.

"When are you going back to Lingnan? How long do you plan to stay at home this time?"

"The Emperor has granted me a long vacation and told me to take up my post in the capital. I haven't made up my mind yet."

Madam Lei patted Lei Yun's hand and said, "You should think carefully about your career. The emperor is kind and righteous. No matter what you do, just have a clear conscience."

"Yes, Sun'er understands."

"By the way, I have to ask the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes to welcome you." Old Madam Lei was extremely happy today.

"I...we?" Lei Yun was a little confused.

Madam Lei chuckled and said, "Don't say anything. I understand. I understand everything."

Lei Yun was dumbfounded. No, did grandma misunderstand something?

"Madam, there is a woman outside who wants to come into the mansion to see her." The maid Xiao He came to report.

Madam Lei smiled with her hands covering her lips, she was so happy, "Quick, quick, go and bring the person in. It's embarrassing to let him wait outside."

The thunderclouds are inexplicable.

"How about this? I'll go with you to meet my future granddaughter-in-law."

Lei Yun was shocked, "Grandma, no, this time when I return to Beijing I..."

"Madam, General Lei." Lin Rumeng, dressed in casual clothes, entered the mansion first.

She had been waiting outside for a while, but no one from the Lei Mansion came out, so she simply walked in without being invited.

Madam Lei was stunned.

Lei Yun was dumbfounded!

"Why does this person look so familiar?" Old Madam Lei thought for a moment, "Empress Hui! Are you the Empress Hui from the palace?"

Lin Rumeng didn't expect that even after she took off her palace dress and put on casual clothes, she was recognized by the old lady at a glance.

For a moment, she was a little embarrassed, "Yes, ma'am."

"Grandson, where is our Lei family's granddaughter-in-law? Why didn't your daughter-in-law come, but Concubine Hui came?"

Lei Yun had already been dumbfounded by his grandmother's words "Empress Hui".

Lin Rumeng, entered the palace as a concubine?

It really was as Lin Xuanzhi said, the lover he fell in love with at first sight ten years ago might have already married someone else. But he didn't expect that the woman ten years ago actually married the emperor.

"Grandma, where did your grandson get a wife?" Lei Yun was a little embarrassed. Although he hadn't seen Concubine Hui for ten years, he thought he would be more or less moved when they met again. However, his heart was as calm as water, and his mood was calmer than he thought.

Madam Lei's face darkened. "No wife? Why did you come back without a wife? My God, my grandson is already over 30 years old and still has no wife."

Thundercloud: ...

So it doesn’t matter whether he goes home or not.

Is it the most important thing whether or not you bring back a wife?

You are such a great grandmother!

"Madam, the food is ready. Please take a seat, Madam, Major General and Young Madam."

"What young lady! This is Concubine Hui from the palace." Old Madam Lei said quickly.

Xiao He was so frightened that she almost cried. She immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. God was telling her that she had just entered the Lei Mansion and had been serving there for a short time. She had never met Concubine Hui before.

Moreover, this Concubine Hui was still dressed as a young girl and did not have her hair in a bun as expected for a married woman. She was thought to be the Major General's unmarried daughter-in-law.

"Look, this is what happened." Old Madam Lei also felt very embarrassed.

But the most embarrassing one is Concubine Hui.

"Empress Hui came to the Lei Mansion today, because..." Lei Yun frowned.

Lin Rumeng smiled, "I heard that General Lei has returned to Beijing, so I made a special trip to visit him."

"Your Highness Hui, this is too serious. You are the imperial concubine and I am a subordinate. It is against the rules to meet in private. If you have nothing else to do, please go back."

Old Madam Lei looked at Lei Yun and then at Concubine Hui. As someone who had experienced this, she understood it at a glance.

have to.

She turned around and went straight into the room.

My grandson just came back, but he didn't bring his granddaughter-in-law with him, but he brought a lot of trouble with him.

Seeing that Madam Lei had left, only Lei Yun and Concubine Hui were left in the courtyard. Concubine Hui did not hide anything and smiled at Lei Yun, "Lei Yun, long time no see, I hope you are well."

"You are too polite, Madam Hui."

"Leiyun, we haven't seen each other for ten years. You don't have to be so polite to me. I'm not in the palace now. You don't have to call me Concubine Hui. Just call me by my name."

"No, I don't have much friendship with Concubine Hui... after all."

Ten years ago, he met Concubine Hui in Lingnan. At that time, Concubine Hui was just the unmarried daughter of the Lin family.

He was a soldier who had never seen the world, but when he first saw the glamorous, simple and kind-hearted Lin Rumeng, he fell in love with her at first sight.

The two got along as friends in Lingnan for nearly a month. A month later, he told Lin Rumeng his feelings.

But that day, she had to return to Beijing.

She said, "Brother Lei Yun, when you return to the capital, if you are still unmarried and I am still unmarried, I will marry you and be your only wife."

He has been reading and thinking about this sentence for ten years.

During this period, he even exchanged letters with her.

Later, he sent letter after letter back to the capital, but he never received a reply.

He asked someone in the capital to inquire about Lin Rumeng's whereabouts, but there was no news.

Later, he completely cut off contact with Lin Rumeng.

This return to Beijing was really accidental.

He knew in his heart that after ten years, she might have already married and was living an ordinary and peaceful life.

Therefore, when he saw Lin Rumeng appear in Lei Mansion, he was still quite surprised that she knew he was back so quickly.

When his grandmother said that she was the current Concubine Hui, he accepted it calmly in his heart.

The past is the past.
