Chapter 205 Chapter 255: Yes, I'm Back
Chapter 205 Chapter 205: Well, I’m back
At this time, the light night was fading, and Lin Shuran was busy making dumplings with the cooks in the back kitchen, and making some snacks for the children to eat during the night watch.
"Father!" Xu Mingsheng, the tenth-year-old who was also playing and playing in the kitchen, shouted out of the room in a daze.
Lin Shuran was busy with her hands and did not turn around, but asked him with a smile: "Why, Brother Sheng misses his father? Your father is busy with important things outside, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back to celebrate the New Year with you!"
"Father!" Xu Mingsheng shouted again. At this time, Lin Shuran realized that the servants in the kitchen had stopped what they were doing and looked behind her. Only then did she notice something strange behind her, and she felt a strong feeling in her heart.
The premonition made her quickly turn around and see Xu Junze standing there with a gentle smile.
The servants in the back kitchen of the General's Mansion were all shocked, because they had never seen such a warm smile from Xu Junze. Before, he was either expressionless or cold when facing outsiders, or when facing the ten people in the mansion.
Among the three young masters, he rarely smiled affectionately and was serious most of the time. It seemed that only in this way he became more like a father.
Everyone could see that Xu Junze only had Lin Shuran in his eyes at this time. The fat aunt coughed lightly and glanced majestically at the other servants in the kitchen. Everyone lowered their heads tacitly and continued to work on what they were doing.
.
Lin Shuran had a big and bright smile on her face. Regardless of the flour on her hands, she greeted him with a smile and said, "You're back!"
"Well, I'm back!" Facing Lin Shuran who was approaching, Xu Junze no longer held back his emotions and hugged her in his arms. Lin Shuran was taken aback by his enthusiastic behavior. He was rarely so straightforward and enthusiastic in front of others.
, but after being stunned, she hugged him back gently.
The servants in the kitchen lowered their heads even lower. Xu Mingsheng, who was about to be five years old, chuckled a little embarrassedly and even subconsciously covered his eyes.
At this time, Lin Shuran discovered that there were two people following Xu Junze. They looked like they were in their thirties, capable, with sharp and embarrassing eyes. It seemed that even they did not expect that Xu Junze would behave like this when he returned home.
Lin Shuran thought it was Xu Junze's friend or someone, so she quickly broke away from his arms shyly and whispered: "There is an outsider here!"
Xu Junze knew that she was embarrassed, so he let her go, bent down and picked up Xu Mingsheng, who was still covering his eyes. This frightened Xu Mingsheng. He opened his eyes and looked at Xu Junze in disbelief.
In his memory, Xu Junze, his adoptive father, had never hugged him so closely. The most he could do was touch his head. His eyes turned red in an instant.
Even Lin Shuran was shocked by Xu Junze's successive affectionate moves. This time when he came back from Yunzhou, he seemed to have changed a little. Could it be that he was changing from a "strict father" to a "loving father"?
However, Xu Junze just hugged Xu Mingsheng and put him down again. A trace of awkwardness flashed across his face, as if he was not familiar with such an action before.
"Husband, who are these two?" Lin Shuran looked at the two people behind Xu Junze with some curiosity. She couldn't tell what she felt, but she always felt that there was something similar to Uncle Wu and Aunt Hong in these two people.
Xu Junze introduced Lin Shuran: "These two are my saviors, Uncle Chu and Uncle Feng. They will be with me in the future."
As soon as he heard that he was Xu Junze's savior, Lin Shuran hurriedly saluted them. Uncle Chu and Uncle Feng immediately avoided him and replied in a panic: "Madam, you must not do it. From now on, we are just people working under the general's command, and we should not be treated like this, madam."
Big gift."
"You two have saved my husband's life, so you deserve this gift. Please treat this place as your home in the future. Don't be polite!" Lin Shuran replied in a humble and polite manner.
Uncle Chu and Uncle Feng also smiled, helped Lin feel relieved, and then replied at the same time: "It makes, makes!"
"Did you go to the palace?" Lin Shuran looked at Xu Junze and asked.
Xu Junze nodded and said: "I just came back from the palace, but I have to deal with some things and will be back soon!"
"You go and do your work first. The children and I are waiting for you at home to celebrate New Year's Eve!" Lin Shuran said with a smile.
Then, Xu Junze turned around and left the house with Uncle Chu and Uncle Feng. When Xu Mingchen and the others came to the kitchen to see Xu Junze after hearing the news, they found that he had left again.
"Mom, is father coming back?" Xu Mingchen and others seemed a little disappointed. They were afraid that Xu Junze would not come back after being away for a long time.
"Come back, he has some things to deal with first and will be back soon!" Lin Shuran said to them. After hearing Lin Shuran's words, Xu Mingchen and the others felt a little better.
Lin Shuran did not lie to them. Not long after nightfall, Xu Junze came back and stayed vigil with Xu Mingchen and others to set off firecrackers. Lin Shuran also accompanied them.
Xu Mingchen was a very interesting and sensible child. He knew that Xu Junze and Lin Shuran had not talked together for a long time, so he deliberately took his brothers out to set off firecrackers, leaving the couple in the room to talk.
Lin Shuran indeed had a lot to say to Xu Junze. Since he went to Yunzhou, some things had happened in the house and with her, but she didn't know where to start with the words.
"My father said that you encountered an assassin on your way to Yunzhou. Although you were not injured, it must have been extremely dangerous at the time, right?" Lin Shuran asked, picking up what she was most concerned about.
"I have nothing to do!" The children were not around at this time, so Xu Junze held her hand without any scruples. Seeing the worry in her eyes, he said, "Don't worry, those assassins can't hurt me yet.
They are just some quack rats who take people's money, and I have eliminated them long ago. But you, on your part, have been wronged during your time in the capital."
"I haven't suffered any grievances. Have you heard any rumors?" Lin Shuran asked cautiously. In fact, Xu Junze will know about this sooner or later when he returns to the capital. "I haven't suffered any grievances. I'm afraid you have.
!”
"I'm a man, and even if I'm really wronged, I should bear it. Don't worry, I will seek justice for you!" Xu Junze's face became serious again. He was not in the capital, but he was the first to see what happened in the capital.
Time will tell. Someone is planning to frame and smear Lin Shuran's innocence. How could he ignore it?
"If what you are talking about is about the Nuan Pavilion in the Princess Mansion, forget it. There is no evidence to prove it. I'm afraid it will be difficult to investigate. Fortunately, other people's plots did not succeed. They never calculated that I have been married for one year.
Many brides are still innocent!" It is impossible to say that she is not feeling aggrieved, but Lin Shuran understands in her heart that some things have not yet been settled.
"Are you blaming me?" Xu Junze actually pulled Lin Shuran onto his lap and sat down, approaching her with burning eyes and asked.
