Gu Yundong did not recognize him at first. It was only when someone called his name that she took a few more glances at him.
She tightened her grip slightly and asked Shao Qingyuan to bring her mother to sit by the window. She walked over and sat opposite that person.
Someone suddenly sat down in front of him. That person raised his head slightly and was slightly stunned when he saw Gu Yundong’s clothes. “You are… the Jiang family’s girl? Aren’t you a little too young? Are you really 20 years old?”
Gu Yundong frowned slightly. “You don’t know me?”
The man was surprised. “Do we know each other?”
Gu Yundong took a deep breath and said, “My surname is Gu. My father is Gu Dajiang. Bian Mulan is my cousin. Cousin-in-law, do you remember?”
That’s right, the person in front of her was Bian Mulan’s husband, Ding Jincheng.
Ding Jincheng looked at her in shock. “You’re that girl from the Gu family?”
He looked like a completely different person. How was that possible?
Of course, Ding Jincheng had seen Gu Yundong before, but at that time, Gu Yundong was short and small. She always lowered her head and was usually very busy.
He was the son-in-law of the Bian family, and his mother-in-law didn’t have a good relationship with the Gu family. She only visited her younger brother, Gu Dajiang, occasionally.
Even his mother-in-law was like this, let alone him. In his memory, he had only accompanied Bian Mulan to visit his uncle three or four times.
This sister-in-law of his uncle’s family was from two years ago. Back then, she was even thinner and her clothes were tattered. At that time, his aunt had just become stupid, and Gu Dajiang’s family had an especially difficult time.
Now that he saw Gu Yundong again, he could not believe it even if he recognized her.
“Sister Gu, you’re still alive. That’s great. You…”
Gu Yundong did not want to talk about himself. She just wanted to confirm one thing. “Cousin-in-law, where’s my cousin?” She did not say that she had encountered Bian Mulan’s grave. She still had a trace of hope.
However, reality was always cruel. At the mention of Bian Mulan, Ding Jincheng could not help but wipe his face fiercely. “Mulan is gone.”
Gu Yundong felt her throat tighten and she was thirsty.
After a while, she heard her own calm voice. “Why is she gone? Where are the bones?”
“She starved to death,” Ding Jincheng said. “We were just a little bit away from reaching Qing’an Prefecture, but she couldn’t make it. She just… died in front of me. I found a mountain and buried her there.”
“What kind of mountain was it? How far was it from the Qing’an Prefecture? Was there any village nearby? What’s written on the stone tablet you erected for her? What kind of grave was it?”
Ding Jincheng answered them one by one.
When Gu Yundong saw that all the details were the same as the grave she had seen back then, she was certain that it was indeed her cousin, Bian Mulan.
She lowered her head slightly and felt her throat become even drier. “What about my aunt and the others?”
Ding Jincheng shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Gu Yundong’s expression changed slightly. “What do you mean by you don’t know? Didn’t my eldest aunt’s family leave Yongning Prefecture with you back then?”
“At first, we were indeed together. However, a large group of refugees suddenly rushed out halfway and ran around in a panic. They said that there were bandits killing people behind. We panicked and ran with them. At that time, my parents were together. Mulan, Yuanzhi and I were together. My father-in-law and mother-in-law were together. All of us got separated. Later, we found my parents, but we couldn’t find my in-laws no matter what. We don’t know their whereabouts.”
Gu Yundong frowned deeply. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. “Where is Yuanzhi?”
Bian Yuanzhi was the youngest son of her eldest aunt.
Ding Jincheng suddenly felt a little guilty and avoided eye contact..
