"you……"
"you……"
They both spoke at the same time and then shut up at the same time.
There was another silence.
Just as the two were hesitating about how to start talking, the driver stopped the car because they had arrived at the mansion where Jiang Shanhe lived.
Jiang Shanhe got off the car first. Xiaoguo breathed a sigh of relief, then put on his bag and prepared to get off the car.
As soon as she stood up, she saw that the curtain had been opened. Xiao Guo bent down to go out and saw a big hand waiting quietly outside.
Xiaoguo pursed her lips and hesitantly placed her hand on the big hand.
Jiang Shanhe was delighted, quietly held her little hand, and helped her down safely.
Xiaoguo was about to take her hand back, but she didn't know whether Jiang Shanhe did it on purpose or not. He avoided her movements and held her hand even tighter, making Xiaoguo unable to move.
Xiaoguo felt like her hands were going to be broken. How could this guy have such strong hands?
Xiao Guo couldn't help herself and looked up at Jiang Shanhe, whose face was red. "My hand hurts."
"What?" Jiang Shanhe didn't understand, so he asked Xiaoguo blankly. At her eye signal, Jiang Shanhe finally realized that he had used too much force, and quickly let go of her hand, "Oh, sorry."
Xiao Guo finally took back his pale left hand, looked down, and saw that it was bleeding.
Jiang Shanhe also noticed it, and at this moment he was so embarrassed that he could only giggle twice.
After the two people got off the car, the driver drove into the yard first. Xiaoguo didn't know the way, so he could only wait for Jiang Shanhe to lead the way.
But no one knew what Jiang Shanhe was thinking. From the moment he got off the car, he stood still.
So the two of them stood at the door like fools, enjoying the breeze.
A gust of wind blew, and Xiaoguo wrapped his clothes helplessly. He thought he would not spend the night at the door.
Jiang Danhe was awakened by the wind and saw Xiaoguo wrapping her clothes. The embarrassment that had just subsided came back again and her face was even redder than before.
"Let's go in quickly."
As soon as Jiang Danhe said this, Xiaoguo almost rolled her eyes. She thought she was unwilling to go in.
Jiang Shanhe also realized that what he said was inappropriate, "I'm sorry..."
Xiaoguo smiled friendly and said, "It's okay, come in quickly."
The wind temperature at night is also low enough.
Jiang Shanhe felt happy and she smiled. She smiled at me!
She looks so beautiful when she smiles, hehe.
Xiaoguo looked at Jiang Danhe showing his two rows of white teeth and was speechless. What was he doing?
"Let's go, let's go."
Jiang Shanhe happily brought Xiaoguo in.
The soldier at the door saluted when he saw Jiang Shanhe, but he was a little curious about Xiaoguo. After the two left, the two soldiers gathered together and whispered to each other. Looking at the general's amorous look, they guessed Xiaoguo's identity.
Xiaoguo looked at Jiang Shanhe who was grinning all the way, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart. Looking at him like this, Zhuangzhuang's high IQ might not be his.
When they were returning to the house, Li Shouji, who had just returned from foraging for food, saw the two men's backs.
When Li Shouji first saw such a beauty, his heart was shocked. When did a beauty appear in this mansion?
Without going over to say hello, he watched Jiang Shanhe take her back to his room and probably guessed the woman's identity.
This must be Jiang Shanhe’s wife.
Li Shouji did not go over to disturb the two of them. He went back to the house burping, holding the food he had packed for Jiang Shanhe in his hand. It seemed that he would have to eat it tomorrow.
Li Shouji turned around with his lunch box, humming a little tune and went back to his room.
Xiaoguo followed Jiang Shanhe to a room. Jiang Shanhe lit the candles with familiarity, and the room became bright in an instant.
Jiang Shanhe took Xiaoguo's bag and put it on the bed. Xiaoguo was a little uncomfortable at first, but she had no reason to object, after all, they were still husband and wife.
Xiaoguo sat on the stool, and Jiang Shanhe sat down nearby, facing each other.
"you..."
Xiaoguo hesitated about how to start, but Jiang Shanhe was considerate and told her everything.
Xiaoguo listened quietly. Jiang Shanhe told Xiaoguo everything without missing a word, from when he was captured to serve in the army, to when he met Shao Zhan, who was still a prince at the time, to when he faked his death and implemented the plan...
"Then why didn't you contact your family?"
Xiaoguo was more concerned about this point. Since she was not dead, why didn't she contact her family? And if she had contacted her family, Jiang's mother might not have died...
"Hey, I faked my death to hide my identity. The situation was complicated at the time. If I contacted you, I was afraid that some bad guys would find you. Although the emperor was incompetent, he still had several elite troops at his disposal. They have been trying to find our troops. None of us dared to go out or contact our families easily. Once we were found, our entire family would be exterminated."
Jiang Shanhe breathed a sigh of relief as he spoke. These were things he had wanted to explain to his family for a long time. Now that he had finally said them, he couldn't help feeling relieved, and then he continued speaking.
"I didn't contact you later because the emperor didn't intend to let me go back. Although I am safe now, I still have opponents in this position. You are defenseless. What if I were to deal with you? I don't dare to take the risk. Besides, as long as I finish the things here, I can retire and reunite with you."
Xiaoguo listened quietly, so this is how it is...
"By the way, ma'am, where is my daughter?"
Jiang Shanhe's sudden call startled Xiaoguo, "Madam?"
Oh, he didn't know that Mother Jiang had already...
"Mom died a year and a half after you left."
Xiaoguo spoke in a low voice, looking at Jiang Shanhe with sympathy in her eyes.
The smile on Jiang Shanhe's face suddenly stopped, and he looked at Xiaoguo in disbelief. Died? Impossible, he must have heard it wrong, so he asked again tremblingly.
Xiao Guo looked at the trembling Jiang Shan He and felt a little sorry for him. However, that was the fact. Xiao Guo repeated, "It was a famine at that time. The family couldn't afford to eat. And at that time, we just happened to know about your..."
Xiaoguo suddenly stopped talking, not wanting to continue, because this was too cruel for Jiang Shanhe. His own mother died only after hearing the news of his own death. How cruel it was.
"Is it because you heard the news of my death..."
Jiang Shanhe understood the last sentence, and he couldn't help shaking, and his vision kept turning black. How could this happen? How could this happen!
"Actually, it wasn't because of this. There was a disaster at the time, and many people died in the village..."
Xiaoguo's voice became smaller and smaller, because Jiang Shanhe in front of her was already crying.
Xiaoguo was a little at a loss. Looking at the man with tears in his eyes, she didn't know how to comfort him. Or maybe there was no need to comfort him. She should just let him vent.
Xiaoguo was ready to step away, leaving Jiang Shanhe to sort himself out, but before she could move, she was grabbed by a big hand and pulled into his arms with great effort.
Jiang Danhe buried his head in Xiaoguo's arms, crying quietly.
Xiaoguo was a little stiff at first and wanted to struggle out of discomfort, but in the end, when he saw a face similar to Zhuangzhuang, he couldn't bear it and couldn't help but touch his head, caressing Jiang Shanhe as he usually comforted Zhuangzhuang.
Jiang Shanhe's body stiffened, and then he wailed softly, and his arms tightly hugged the woman who gave him warmth.
Holding her soft waist, breathing in the refreshing fragrance, venting the sadness that I have been holding back for a long time...
Xiaoguo sighed slightly. After all, he was just a kid in his twenties.
