Inside the inn, only Zhen Wanwan and Zhu Yuan were inside.
Ah Yue stood guard outside the door to prevent others from coming in and disturbing her.
With no outsiders around, Zhu Yuan could no longer suppress his longing and hugged Zhen Wanwan tightly.
Zhen Wanwan was almost breathless from his embrace, but she didn't interrupt him and let him hold her.
After a long while, the two reluctantly separated, but their hands remained tightly clasped together.
Looking at their intertwined hands, Zhen Wanwan sighed inwardly, thinking that her husband had become quite clingy since he went out.
"Oh, right! Husband, wait for me! I have something good to show you."
After lingering for a while, Zhen Wanwan remembered the purpose of her trip.
She took her handbag and, in front of Zhu Yuan, handed him the two parchments.
“Husband, look, this is something my father and elder brother obtained from the Northern Hu people by accident.”
Looking at Zhen Wanwan's expectant eyes, Zhu Yuan was curious about the parchment.
He took it and read it carefully.
Suddenly, his face was full of surprise: "Where did Madam get this?"
Hearing Zhu Yuan ask this question, Zhen Wanwan didn't hide anything and recounted the experiences of Grandpa Zhen and Zhen Fugui.
"That's roughly how it is. Brother Qu also said that the Northern Hu people's military defense map is genuine."
At this moment, Zhu Yuan's heart was filled with turmoil, and he was unable to calm down for a long time.
Whether Father and my elder brother were lucky or unlucky was unknown.
Zhu Yuan put down the parchment, hugged Zhen Wanwan in his arms again, and murmured, "Madam, you and Father and Brother have really helped me a lot."
It seems that the plans need to be re-evaluated, but fortunately, these changes are beneficial to them.
Zhen Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed she hadn't arrived too late.
Suddenly, she remembered the scene at the city gate and said with great dissatisfaction, "Husband, is there something you need to explain to me?"
Zhu Yuan's body stiffened slightly, and he lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.
"I recently did something wrong; I went to a gambling den and lost money..."
"What!"
Zhen Wanwan looked shocked, although she could vaguely guess some of the clues from what she had just heard.
But it was still quite surprising to hear it from Zhuyuan.
"My husband, we are husband and wife. I believe you are not the kind of person who is addicted to gambling. Can you tell me why?"
Zhen Wanwan knew Zhu Yuan's character to some extent; he wasn't the kind of person who enjoyed those kinds of occasions.
"Of course, if it's inconvenient for you to say, then don't say it. I understand."
Looking at his understanding wife, Zhu Yuan's eyes softened even more.
He rested his chin on the top of Zhen Wanwan's head and chuckled softly, "There's nothing inconvenient about it."
"Before, because I needed to disguise myself, I...so I went to the gambling den..."
Zhu Yuan told Zhen Wanwan everything that had happened in the past few days, down to the smallest detail.
It was at this time that Zhen Wanwan realized how difficult Zhu Yuan's life had been.
Ever since that night when the Northern Hu people launched a surprise attack, Zhu Yuan has made it his goal to eliminate them.
Furthermore, they devised a meticulous plan in a short period of time, waiting only for the right moment to take down the Northern Hu people in one fell swoop.
The things she brought today are an important part of this plan, adding to its success.
"Won't my coming to see you so openly alert you?"
There are eyes everywhere in Mingzhou Prefecture. If their identities are revealed, they will be in big trouble.
"It's alright, I'm using my real identity, I'm not afraid of them investigating."
No matter how you investigate, there is no doubt that he is the son-in-law of the Zhen family.
Moreover, with Zhen Wanwan arriving here, others will only become more certain of his identity.
They never imagined that he was the actual person in charge of Anqing Prefecture.
"Wife! Master! Someone is looking for you outside!"
