"Anyway, I feel those people from your mother’s family are no good! When you were exiled, they were still officials in the capital. Did they ever help you out?"
According to her aunt, when they were exiled, indeed, Mrs. Zhang’s family did not step forward.
But at that ti, Ruan Mian had just arrived there, and the original book did not ntion the Zhang family, so she automatically ignored them.
Moreover, at that ti, her parents never ntioned the Zhang side, so Ruan Mian automatically assud they didn’t exist.
Now it seems, they might really not have been kind-hearted.
Yet she’s not afraid, for whatever cos, she will face it; she now seeks to punish evil and promote good, uproot the treacherous, and curb the petty!
Seeing her determined deanor, her aunt also showed delight.
"No matter who assus the role of this relief envoy, they pose no threat to us. Ah Huai, just rest easy; your wife is indeed remarkable."
Aunt praised Ruan Mian unreservedly, and as she spoke, she saw Xie Huai’an looking at her with starry eyes.
Her presence as a third wheel was too conspicuous, making her feel embarrassed to stay there.
"Why don’t you two have so loving ti here first, I’ll step out to keep watch. We can’t let ignorant children interrupt you." Before Ruan Mian could speak, her aunt sensibly exited the place.
She still wanted to say sothing, but Xie Huai’an grasped her wrist bone.
In the dim environnt, certain emotions in his heart surged over like a tidal wave, his narrow eyes filled with love.
The earlier embrace was clearly not enough to fully express his affection, so he tenderly cupped Ruan Mian’s chin, their noses touching, as if the blood in his body was rushing backwards.
He suppressed his voice and sincerely said, "My love, you’ve had it tough."
A myriad of words, converging into just this sentence at the mont of speaking.
After uttering these words, Xie Huai’an felt so regret; he could have said more, but his mouth seed to be blocked at that mont, only able to speak foolish words.
Then he continued, "And, I miss you... a lot."
"The road ahead is still long, yet it is well-lit, Mianmian, I promise you I will definitely..."
Before he could finish, Ruan Mian stood on her tiptoes, wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and kissed him.
At the mont their lips touched, Xie Huai’an felt his mind go blank, unable to rember anything.
Relying on instinct, he held her tightly, as if trying to embrace her entire being into his arms.
The longing from the past beca tangible in this mont, touching her with his hands, not daring to easily let go, fearing that all this was just a fantasy.
In the quiet space, only the sound of their tender and passionate kisses remained.
However, the beautiful mont was brief, as if Heaven wouldn’t allow them too much intimacy.
Not long after, a furious voice from the elder aunt was heard at the door.
"What? Welcoming the relief envoy is the job of the governnt office. Lord Lin has so many people under him, do they really need us to go welco them?"
"Besides, my Mianmian doesn’t have any official position! Why should she go welco that group of people? They really set themselves too high!" Ah Shu, go back and tell those people, Mianmian is busy!"
It turns out Yun Xiu ca looking for Ruan Mian, and the relief envoy had already arrived at the disaster site and visited Lord Lin.
They specifically requested to see Ruan Mian. After searching in vain, Yun Xiu ca here to ask the aunt.
But Yun Xiu, not having found Ruan Mian, was sowhat worried.
"Aunt, is Sister Mianmian here? I have looked in several places earlier and did not see her, I’m a bit worried."
The elder aunt quickly waved her hand, "Of course she’s here, you can go back and report."
With these words, Yun Xiu left at ease.
However, upon hearing the conversation, Xie Huai’an reluctantly stroked Ruan Mian’s chin, speaking softly.
"Now that you are the backbone of Wuheng, if I take up your ti, I’m afraid your family might suffer unnecessary troubles."
"Hurry along, I’ll wait here for you."
Ruan Mian’s gaze shifted slightly; she didn’t expect the so-called relief envoy to arrive so suddenly.
And especially at this ti, if she doesn’t go, it might make things difficult for her parents.
Lord Lin is currently still ill, and it would be hard to arrange subsequent matters.
Thinking of these things, Ruan Mian nodded, "I’ll be right back. Will you wait here for ? Those weapons inside, perhaps aunt can show them to you."
The two watched each other fade from view, an indescribable emotion rising within their hearts.
When Ruan Mian arrived at the house where Lord Lin was, she found her family also gathered in the courtyard.
