When it was dawn outside, Shen Yunshu, who was exhausted, fell into a deep sleep. Gu Jiuyan kissed her eyebrows over and over again, and finally left reluctantly.
He left quietly.
Before leaving, Gu Jiuyan gave the letter he had written in advance to Jiang Chen for safekeeping. If he could not return from this mission and Shen Yunshu had not left yet, he would entrust Jiang Chen to help him pass the letter to Shen Yunshu.
He understood her concerns and the worries in her heart, so this was all he could do for her.
It was already noon the next day when Shen Yunshu woke up from her sleep with sore body. She looked at the bruises all over her body, cursed Gu Jiuyan in her heart as a bastard, and then got out of bed quickly.
Seeing her daughter-in-law wake up, Mother Gu quickly suppressed her sadness and said with feigned happiness, "Shushu, what do you want to eat? I'll ask grandma to make it for you."
"Mom, I'm not hungry yet." Shen Yunshu really had no appetite now, and her mind was in a mess and she didn't know what to do.
She couldn't bear to leave Gu Jiuyan, whom she loved with her life, the six little boys she had given birth to with great effort, and her family.
But... most of the secrets she was carrying were discovered by Gu Jiuyan, and she was afraid that she would be dissected as a human being for experiments.
Can she trust Gu Jiuyan 100%?
Mother Gu pouted and said, "You didn't eat anything this morning. What if you starve yourself to death if you don't eat?"
In the end, Shen Yunshu couldn't resist Mother Gu and ate half a bowl of noodles slowly and carefully.
At night, Gu Jiuyan still hadn't returned. Shen Yunshu looked at the abnormal expressions of his family members and felt extremely anxious.
Shen Yunshu found Shen's father and asked, "Dad, where is Gu Jiuyan? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
"Shushu, Jiuyan is out on a mission. He left this morning. Didn't he tell you?"
Father Shen was also surprised. He thought his son-in-law would tell his daughter that he was going out on a mission, but looking at his daughter's face, he was afraid that he didn't say it, probably because he didn't want to make his daughter worry.
Thinking of the danger of this mission, Father Shen's expression became a little serious, and he subconsciously pinched his eyebrows.
Shen Yunshu frowned: "On a mission? Is it dangerous? When will he come back?"
Father Shen was afraid that his daughter would worry, so he comforted her: "Shushu, don't worry, Jiuyan will definitely come back safely."
Shen Yunshu could sense the unusual nature of this mission from Shen's father's expression, and his heart was gripped.
She returned to the lonely room, where the scent of Gu Jiuyan was everywhere. He shamelessly held her in front of the dressing table and coaxed her to do it over and over again.
He would bend down to wash her feet every night, and even if he was hungry in the middle of the night, he would drag his tired body to the kitchen to cook noodles for her without saying a word.
He clearly remembered all her preferences and would patiently learn how to cook a dish she liked.
There was also the meticulous care during the confinement period, and the red eyes from staying up late.
It was obvious that Gu Jiuyan loved her much more than she loved Gu Jiuyan.
Shen Yunshu had already burst into tears without realizing it. At this moment, she finally saw her own heart clearly.
She couldn't bear to leave Gu Jiuyan.
She likes Gu Jiuyan, she likes Gu Jiuyan very much.
She didn't want to leave Gu Jiuyan and let another woman take advantage of her.
Her marriage with Gu Jiuyan was destined by God. It was Yue Lao who tied them together tightly with a red thread, and they would never be separated in this life or the next.
Yes! She can ask Meng Po, or her grandparents, for help!
Shen Yunshu, who had been stuck in a dead end due to panic, suddenly became clear-headed. She quickly lit the talisman paper in her hand and summoned Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang.
The beautiful Meng Po also came along.
Grandpa Jiang and the others looked at Shen Yunshu, whose eyes were red, and their faces were all shocked.
"Shushu, what's wrong? Did someone bully you?"
"With you guys here, no one dares to bully me. It's Gu Jiuyan who seems to have guessed my identity, and yours. He discovered something unusual when we got married last time."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jiang and the others were stunned. They lowered their heads and reflected on what went wrong that allowed Gu Jiuyan to see their identities.
Meng Po suddenly spoke up: "It should be on the wedding day, when Shushu called Gu Jiuyan to recognize you two old couples, and Old Lady Jiang shook Gu Jiuyan's hand. You know, our hands don't have body temperature. He must have discovered it at that time. I underestimated his intelligence."
The last sentence was said with a hint of appreciation.
"As for my identity, he doesn't seem to know that I have a modern soul inside me. Instead, he thinks I'm a monster. I'm afraid..."
Before Shen Yunshu could finish her words, Meng Po rushed to ask, "Are you afraid that he will hurt you? Or are you afraid that he doesn't love you?"
"I'm afraid of both, but I'm more afraid that my secret will be exposed and he will turn me in."
There was a noticeable sadness on Shen Yunshu's face. When she thought about her future life without Gu Jiuyan, she felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry out loud.
Meng Po patted Shen Yunshu's shoulder to comfort her.
"Little girl, don't underestimate Gu Jiuyan's love for you. You two have been together for ten lifetimes. Even this last lifetime was granted to him by Gu Jiuyan through a favor. He will never hurt you under any circumstances. I can assure you of this."
Shen Yunshu was shocked by the ten lives Meng Po mentioned: "Ten lives... He has loved me for ten lives..."
"Yes, Tensei! Never doubt his love for you. He loves you more than himself."
"So, even if he knows my secret, he won't hurt me, right?"
"Yes! He won't hurt you."
The fear and anxiety of the past two days vanished into thin air at this moment, and Shen Yunshu hugged Meng Po and burst into tears.
Meng Po had never seen such a scene before. Not knowing what to do, she quickly winked at Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang, asking them to come and rescue her.
As a result, Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang pretended not to see it, and they tacitly turned their backs to the past.
Meng Po was so angry that her teeth were itching, but seeing the little girl in her arms crying so sadly, she couldn't bear to push her away.
After calming down, Shen Yunshu thought about herself crying just now, and her face flushed.
When Meng Po saw the hands loosened from her waist, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It was best not to cry.
You know, what she can't stand the most is tears. For thousands of years, she has never shed a tear.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Sister Mengpo, my husband is out on a mission this time. I'm worried he might be in danger. Could you please help me keep an eye on him and make sure he comes back safely?"
Gu Jiuyan must be feeling very uncomfortable these past two days. When he returns safely this time, she will definitely reward him well.
