Having stumbled upon a great bargain, Zhen Wanwan happily drank two large bowls of porridge, feeling warm all over and no longer tired.
Noticing Zhen Wanwan's naive appearance, Zhu Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and he thought to himself that he would earn more money for his wife in the future.
"You should rest well today. I'll take you somewhere else tomorrow when you're almost fully recovered," Zhu Yuan suddenly said.
"Huh?" Zhen Wanwan looked puzzled, a little curious, and asked, "What are you going to do? Could it be... that you're going to kill someone to cover your tracks?"
She hadn't forgotten where they were; this was enemy territory, and being discovered could very well mean certain death.
I don't know how Zhuyuan handled such a big incident yesterday.
But since she was still able to sit here and eat, it seemed that nothing serious had happened.
Helplessly, Zhu Yuan brushed the stray hairs from Zhen Wanwan's forehead and explained, "I won't kill anyone to cover it up, but... you'll know when Madam arrives."
Zhu Yuan hesitated, as if he had something difficult to say. Zhen Wanwan's eyes deepened slightly, and she silently kept the matter to herself.
The matter that makes Zhuyuan so concerned must be quite serious.
Zhen Wanwan was very sensible and didn't press for details. Instead, she changed the subject and talked about the two children.
Zhen Wanwan's face was full of longing. After being away for several days, she was afraid that her children, Guaibao and Tianbao, would miss her.
"I've been away for so long, I wonder how my baby and my sweet baby are doing. They've never left my side since they were born. I wonder if Granny Zhang and my mother have taken good care of them."
Suddenly, a wave of guilt washed over Zhen Wanwan, and her eyes gradually welled up with tears.
Zhu Yuan remained silent, watching Zhen Wanwan's expression as if she was about to cry, and felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He is the father of two children and already feels guilty towards them. Now he can't be by their side all the time. How can he feel good?
His guilt was even greater than Zhen Wanwan's, and he also felt indebted to Zhen Wanwan.
He is the one who has wronged the mother and her two children.
"Madam, you should return the day after tomorrow! Things here are a bit tricky and will take some time. I will speed things up and try to return to reunite with you as soon as possible."
Zhu Yuan originally wanted to follow Zhen Wanwan home regardless of everything, but he was very clear-headed, and the sword was already on the bowstring and had to be drawn.
This is a good opportunity to deal a heavy blow to King Yang. The reason why the Northern Hu people have been invincible all the way is because King Yang betrayed the country.
They sent the enemy a lot of maps showing the garrison deployments of the county towns. If they could severely damage or even kill him this time, it would be entirely beneficial to them.
Even the prefecture city, which was besieged by the Northern Hu people, was able to continue living and its people were spared from slaughter.
Before leaving, Zhu Yuan had already made all the necessary arrangements for those Northern Hu people outside Anqing City, ensuring they would not return alive!
The plans within are interconnected, and Zhu Yuan bears a great responsibility; he cannot afford to be preoccupied with personal feelings.
Zhen Wanwan looked somewhat surprised. Although she also planned to go home in the next couple of days, she felt a little unhappy when Zhu Yuan said it.
But she wasn't stupid, and she quickly figured it out.
“Husband, I was planning to go back in the next couple of days anyway. I’ll only cause you trouble if I stay here, so it’s better to go back and protect the family.”
Zhu Yuan noticed Zhen Wanwan's reluctance and pulled her into his arms.
His wife is so sensible and capable; he must have done something very good in his past life to have such a wonderful relationship with her.
It seems that the lady was brought to his side by God because he felt that the first half of his life was too pitiful!
Zhu Yuan clenched his fist and secretly vowed to protect Zhen Wanwan and not let anyone know her 'true identity'.
In Zhu Yuan's mind, he had already taken Zhen Wanwan's nonsense from last night to heart.
"I will protect you for the rest of your life. My wife, do whatever you want. I'll take care of everything!"
Zhu Yuan kissed Zhen Wanwan's forehead and solemnly promised.
At that moment, Zhen Wanwan's heart began to pound uncontrollably.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she thought to herself, "I didn't expect my usually serious husband to be so good at flirting."
As night fell, Zhen Wanwan washed up and went to bed early.
Zhu Yuan received a man in black in another room.
The man in black knelt humbly before Zhu Yuan and replied, "Master, thanks to the things the lady brought, our men have already infiltrated the Yang King's army."
The man praised Zhen Wanwan highly, and seeing that the coldness on Zhu Yuan's face had lessened, he was secretly pleased with his own intelligence.
Behind the scenes, these secret guards were debating whether it was more effective to listen to their master or their mistress.
Seeing his master's attitude, he already had the answer in his heart. If one day they really faced these two choices, choosing his wife would probably be safer.
He had heard that the bodyguard who had been transferred to the lady's side had been taken back by her and could now live a normal life.
Unlike them, who can only live in darkness, without family, relatives, or even wives and children.
Zhu Yuan's eyes deepened, and he gave a soft "hmm" in response. It seemed he needed to speed things up.
In order to give his wife and children a better future, he had to resolve things here as soon as possible.
