Chapter 509
This kid has written home quite a few letters before, but when has his wife ever been so excited?
But as he looked, Chen Zongwen's eyes suddenly widened.
"Xi'er and Huaichuan are both in Jizhou?!"
Madam Chen nodded emphatically: "Yes! Huai Chuan wrote it himself, it can't be fake!"
"Huaichuan is really something. When we were still in Luoyang, this kid tried every trick in the book to prevent us from seeing Xi'er. Now look what he's done, he's managed to lure Xi'er out here!"
"Then what are we waiting for!" Chen Zongwen slapped his thigh. "Pack your things, let's go to Jizhou right now!"
Madam Chen glared at her: "Where are you going! So many people have come to this private school because of you. You just came back from Luoyang and you're already running off again. What if you delay them?!"
As soon as Madam Chen raised her voice, Chen Zongwen's momentum weakened: "Isn't there Qiu Guo'er? Last time we went to Luoyang, it was Qiu Guo'er who kept an eye on things, and nothing went wrong, didn't it?"
Qiu Guo'er was Chen Zongwen's eldest disciple from the very beginning. Although she was not old, she was even more rigid than Chen Zongwen.
Sure enough, when everyone saw that Chen Zongwen was about to leave again, they all looked miserable.
"How can that be the same!" Madam Chen rolled her eyes. "It's one thing for Qiu Guo'er to help out, but she came here specifically for you!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zongwen sighed heavily: "Then, Madam, what do you suggest we do?"
Mrs. Chen had clearly planned ahead; "You don't need to worry about anything, just stay at home, I'll go by myself!"
Chen Zongwen: ......
"It's settled then!"
Madam Chen turned and left, leaving Chen Zongwen alone, looking at his wife's retreating figure with a puzzled expression.
Why did he feel that his wife had already made up her mind not to take him along?
Chen Zongwen was still suspicious, but when he went home after school at dusk, he found that his wife had already packed her luggage and had packed several large boxes!
Chen Zongwen stared at her for a long time before finally asking, "Madam, are you coming back?"
Why did he inexplicably sense that Madam Chen wanted a divorce?
"Come back, come back! I'll be back as soon as I've settled Xi'er in!"
Mrs. Chen's perfunctory attitude was obvious to the naked eye.
Chen Zongwen felt a lump in his throat.
My wife forgets her husband as soon as she sees her daughter...
In that instant, Chen Zongwen seemed to see his wife gone and never to return, and his own desolate old age.
Mrs. Chen was in high spirits and eager to see her daughter. She barely ate any dinner and tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep. However, the next day, she woke up earlier than Chen Zongwen.
Chen Zongwen sighed deeply again.
He didn't want to stop Madam Chen, but he was also worried, so he could only follow closely beside her, asking, "Madam, you will come back, won't you?"
He had asked this question far too many times, which earned him a glare from Madam Chen: "What nonsense are you spouting! Where else could I go if I didn't come back? I think you've gone stupid from teaching!"
A man in his late twenties, nearing thirty, stood beside the carriage, looking at the two with a helpless expression: "Teacher, Teacher's wife."
“Qiuguo’er,” Chen Zongwen said, “you must take good care of your teacher’s wife along the way.”
Qiu Guo'er nodded: "Don't worry, you have to take good care of yourself while you're home alone. I've already told the cook to watch over your meals, so you can't slack off."
Hearing such earnest advice from Qiu Guo'er, Chen Zongwen only felt it was troublesome and immediately waved his hand, saying, "I know, I know! You're so young and you're worrying so much. Look how fast you're aging!"
Qiu Guo'er: ......
At this moment, Madam Chen had already boarded the carriage and was urging them to leave. Qiu Guo'er had no choice but to bow to Chen Zongwen and drive away.
