Zhuang Zhuang lowered his head sadly and looked at his attire. “What’s wrong? Uncle also said that I’m very cute.”

Xiaoguo was trying so hard to hold back her laughter that her back was shaking. But Zhuang Zhuang was still behind her. She couldn’t laugh!

Xiaoguo summoned all her strength to suppress her urge to laugh. Fortunately, they had arrived at the spice shop. Xiaoguo exhaled and calmed herself down until she could look at Zhuang Zhuang’s face calmly.

She turned around and saw that Zhuang Zhuang was indeed looking at her. Xiaoguo tried her best to remain calm. “Zhuang Zhuang, pfft, cough cough!”

Apologies, she did her best!

After telling Zhuang Zhuang to wait for her, she quickly ran into the shop.

Xiaoguo stood in the lobby and watched Zhuang Zhuang. He was sitting on the donkey cart which was parked by the door. She told the shop assistant about the spices she needed.

She listed more than a dozen spices in one go. After seeing that the shop assistant had noted them down, she mentioned the last spice—for mutton, cumin is a must-have!

The shop assistant wrote down everything and went to pack the items.

As Xiaoguo waited, she did not forget to keep tabs on Zhuang Zhuang. She only felt assured when she saw that he was still sitting obediently in the donkey cart, waiting for her.

Xiaoguo had wanted to bring Zhuang Zhuang along with her, but she couldn’t bring down the meat from the donkey cart. Furthermore, if Zhuang Zhuang was following her, Xiaoguo wasn’t sure if she could hold back her laughter. She didn’t want to make him cry again.

After the waiter brought the bags over, Xiaoguo took them from him. After handing him the money, she quickly returned to the donkey cart.

With nothing else to buy, Xiaoguo drove home.

Zhuang Zhuang did not speak to Xiaoguo along the way. Xiaoguo coaxed and teased him, but the young master did not utter a word.

Xiaoguo scratched her head. She has a problem at hand. What should she do? What should she do?!

Gugugu… Gugugu…

A gray pigeon landed on the windowsill. There was something white attached to its feet.

After a while, a muscular arm reached out. The pigeon jumped onto the arm and stood firmly on it. It seemed like the pigeon had been waiting for the man.

The man removed the object from the pigeon’s leg and unfolded it. It was a letter.

The man’s lips parted slightly, before curving into an ambiguous smile.

He released the pigeon, hid the letter in his chest, and left the house in the night.

Tap, tap, tap.

A series of soft knocks sounded from the door.

Jiang Danhe had just finished washing up and was taking a nap on his bed.

Even though the knocks were soft, Jiang Danhe’s ears were sharper. He put on his clothes, lit a candle, and went to open the door.

Apart from that tactless person, there was no one else who could knock on his door at this time.

Sure enough, when the door opened, a familiar face appeared.

“Li Shouji!”

“Hey, brother, good news!”

Jiang Danhe did not even look at him. After opening the door, he walked back into the house and sat down on a chair.

Li Shouji stood at the door with a big grin. His enthusiasm was not affected by the other party’s coldness. He entered the house and closed the door behind him before sitting down across from Jiang Danhe.

Having known Jiang Danhe for so long, he had long figured out his personality, so he was not afraid of him.

“Guess what news I’ve got?”

After a while, Jiang Danhe still didn’t look at him. Li Shouji couldn’t hold back anymore and opened his mouth. It was really difficult to pique Jiang Danhe’s interest!

“I really admire your good luck…”

Seeing that Jiang Danhe wasn’t even batting an eyelid, Li Shouji muttered to himself and tried to attract his attention.

Jiang Danhe was listening quietly. Although he was getting curious by Li Shouji’s monologue, he didn’t want to show it on his face. He knew that if he showed any interest, Li Shouji would definitely go overboard. He would start talking in circles to say something that could be explained in one sentence.

Li Shouji sighed helplessly.?“How calm you are. Let me show you my ultimate move!”

“You’re already a father…”

Li Shouji stopped strategically at the last sentence and drank his water unhurriedly. His eyes glanced around the room in a leisurely manner.

As soon as he said that, Jiang Danhe froze. The cup in his hand was pressed against his lips. The tea was sloshing in it, looking like it would spill out in the next second.

Li Shouji was looking relaxed and confident now. Now it was Jiang Danhe’s turn to be anxious. Li Shouji knew that no matter how calm Jiang Danhe seemed, he would be uneasy once he heard those words.

“Make yourself clear!”

Jiang Danhe’s recent afflictions seemed to have erupted at this moment. He stared at Li Shouji, waiting for him to continue.

Li Shouji stopped his teasing since he was done putting on a show. He knew that Jiang Danhe had been feeling uneasy these past few days. That was why he had taken the risk to send someone to find out about the Jiang family. His aim was to help Jiang Danhe get over his worries. This would not only help Jiang Danhe, but also the mission…

“Yes, you’re a father!”

Li Shouji stopped teasing him and became serious. He told him in detail about how he had sent his men to Peach Blossom Village.

Li Shouji had noticed that Jiang Danhe was constantly out of sorts. The latter’s main worry was about his mother and wife. Li Shouji was not as cautious as he was. Therefore, for his sake, Li Shouji sent the unit that was closest to the county city to help investigate. Coincidentally, they were supposed to be the last unit to set off, therefore they could spare some time to check things out.

An envelope was sent over. After receiving the mission, the men on the receiving end immediately checked out the situation and sent all the acquired information back to Li Shouji.

When he received the news, Li Shouji was overjoyed for Jiang Danhe. Although the men did not see his mother, they saw his wife. The thing worth mentioning was that his wife had been waiting for him and had even given birth to his child.

Jiang Danhe was smiling at this moment. The corners of his mouth were upturned. His cold and stern face was now filled with happiness and excitement like he was welcoming the spring breeze.

He was unable to suppress the smile on his face, and his heart was beating wildly. His mind was in a daze.

He didn’t know what he was feeling now. Love, joy, sadness, and guilt were all filling up his heart, making him want to run back to them immediately.

“Hey, hey, hey, I’m really envious of you. You’ve disappeared for more than three years, but in the end, you’re still the most blissful!”

Li Shouji could not help but sigh at his brother’s good life.

“How are they doing?”

Jiang Danhe couldn’t wait to find out about their current situation. He looked at Li Shouji so intensely that the man had goosebumps.

“Let me show you!”

Li Shouji rubbed his arms and took out the letter. He handed it to Jiang Danhe so that he could read it himself.

Jiang Danhe could no longer maintain his usual composure. When he saw the note, he grabbed it and held it nervously in his hand.

At this point, he was actually feeling nervous. He didn’t know how to face the situation. He hadn’t been in touch for a long time. Apart from keeping them safe, there was another reason. He didn’t dare to find out how they were—he was afraid that if he did, he would be tempted to go back to them.

But, no!

The condition for him to build an army for Shao Zhan and help him ascend the throne was to help vindicate the Jiang family!
