Chapter 1400 I want to go back and see
Their eyes met, and they remained silent.
Song Chunxue stared into Xie Zheng's eyes, but after a moment, he still avoided her gaze and remained silent with his eyes lowered.
Despite his best efforts to hide it, his heart was racing.
She might not have been able to hear it before, but now, with the spiritual power given to her by her master, she could clearly hear his rapid heartbeat.
"I...I'm sorry, Master Song," his voice was hoarse as if he had eaten ashes, but he tried his best to keep his tone calm and composed, "My memories of knowing and understanding each other are all from what I've heard from others. The Xie Zheng of today is not the Xie Zheng you remember. It is I who have failed you because I am incompetent..."
"Fine," she turned away from him, her heart finally settling down. A faint smile graced her face, her voice gentle. "It's not your fault. Now that you've told the truth, don't say anything that could cause misunderstandings in the future. Don't call me by affectionate terms like 'Ah Xue,' or I'll get angry."
She stated with obvious annoyance, "This would make me mistakenly believe that Lord Xie is playing hard to get and making fun of me."
"..." His lips moved, but he still couldn't utter a word.
Song Chunxue took a few steps back. "I'm sorry, I misunderstood. Please forgive me for any offense I may have caused."
As she spoke, she cupped her hands in a respectful but distant manner, showing none of the expectation she had shown earlier.
"It's late, please go back."
After saying those words, she quietly disappeared from the spot.
Getting the answer didn't make me as upset as I'd imagined.
But tonight, I am destined to have a sleepless night.
This result is anxiety-inducing and disappointing; it requires some time to process.
Mengzhongjun told her that the Demon Sect would hold a grand event in three days, and that she would be required to become the Grand Elder of the Demon Sect so that she could freely enter and leave the forbidden area of the Demon Sect.
She also consulted Master Han, who agreed that this move would help her awaken the triangular pyramid as soon as possible.
Therefore, she plans to go back to her hometown for the next three days.
Her right eyelid kept twitching, which made her uneasy. She thought it best to quietly take a look at the children.
It's always right to save yourself before saving others.
At three-quarters past midnight, she appeared at Li Family Village through a teleportation array.
Twenty years have passed since I last visited, and many changes have taken place in Lijiazhuangzi.
In the once clean and flat fields, many mounds of earth have appeared, which can be clearly seen from high above.
The eldest son's yard was more spacious, and another yard was built behind the original yard for his son.
It's likely that she didn't get along with her son and daughter-in-law, and they separated.
However, separating also has its advantages, saving a lot of trouble.
Song Chunxue waited until dawn and saw the eldest brother carrying a basket to the donkey pen to add hay to the donkeys. He had a lot of white hair on his head and his beard was also gray. He looked much more energetic than he had been at this age in his previous life, and his clothes were clean and neat.
She sat on the willow tree opposite their courtyard, hiding for an hour, watching him tell stories to his grandson, and tears of joy streamed down her face.
She was relieved that her eldest son was doing well.
After that, she arrived in Zhuanglang County and stood outside the gate of the fort.
It was Chenshi (7-9 AM), and everyone got up one after another to have morning tea and breakfast. Song Chunxue, through the courtyard gate, heard Sanwa and Mulan talking in the courtyard.
Afterwards, she hid herself on the high wall of the fortress and found Sanwa and Mulan packing their things and moving them onto the carriage, seemingly heading to Jincheng.
"Are we really going to leave like this, all slinking away?" Mulan, who was slightly plump, stood at the kitchen door, holding a cloth bag in her hand, and her face was not very good.
The third child was dressed in a simple blue cloth robe.
"It's better to avoid trouble. We're just avoiding their sharp edge. Things will be fine in a few days." He put the two bags of flour on the car and said in a low voice, "After all, I'm not the Jiang Yexun I used to be. If things get too ugly with them, my sister won't have an easy time either."
"Then why don't you know the saying 'to take advantage of someone's kindness'?" Mulan threw down the broom she had just picked up. "Anyway, I don't want to leave. You can't even protect your mother's land, what kind of head of the family are you?"
After listening to it for a while, Song Chunxue finally figured out the gist of it.
It turns out that the county official was transferred from another place. As the saying goes, a new official makes three moves upon taking office, and the first one was to take back the Jiang family's land, using the excuse that the land had been sold cheaply by the county government years ago and the paperwork was incomplete.
This is not just a problem for Sanwa's family; many other people who bought the land back then are also complaining bitterly.
