Chapter 47
"No, she won't come back, because she never left here during the day, and, besides, her things are gone." Su Jingxin cried.

"Why are you so sure that she won't come back?" Murong Chen asked a little puzzled.

"She once told me that when I get married, her mission will be completed, and she also said that there will be a period later. It seems that my aunt has long wanted to leave here." Su Jingxin recalled what her aunt said at that time, and she couldn't help feeling sad.

"Oh, that's how it is. No wonder I feel that the room is a bit messy. It turns out that I've been idle for a long time..." Murong Chen said thoughtfully.

"No, I found out just now. Someone must have been here before us, because my aunt has a cleanliness habit. Even if she leaves here, things will be neatly arranged and will not be scattered around." Su Jingxin Shaking his head slowly, he muttered to himself.

"Jingxin, you are back, is it Jingxin?" A slightly old voice suddenly sounded.

"Grandma Liu, have you seen my aunt?" Jingxin hurriedly ran to the old man as if seeing a savior, and asked hopefully.

"She left here three days ago. She left you this letter, and she also asked me to deliver it to you personally." As she spoke, Grandma Liu tremblingly took out the letter from her arms, Pass it to Jingxin.

"Thank you Grandma Liu!" Jingxin carefully opened the letter with the last hope.

It was indeed written by my aunt's pen. The new content is roughly that her mission has been completed, and she has changed back to her life. Let Jingxin take good care of her, and there is still a day to reunite.

Jingxin folded the letter and carefully put it in her arms. "My aunt really went back, but she didn't say where she was going, but according to the letter, we still have a chance to meet." Jingxin told Mo Xingchen the contents of the letter, fearing that he would worry about her.

"Since this is the case, don't be sad. Let's clean up and live here tonight. We'll go back in the morning." Mo Xingchen comforted Su Jingxin with a smile.

"You have to be careful. Last night, a group of people came here to search here and there. The little girl who took the lead was about the same age as Jingxin. I heard the movement and came over to have a look. She is very fierce. She is very fierce. He’s from the city, but he’s not educated at all.” Grandma Liu still had lingering fears.

"Is that the one with big eyes, apple face, about the same size as Jingxin, but fatter than Jingxin, with a black mole at the corner of her mouth?" Murong Chen interjected involuntarily.

"It seems that there is such a person, and there are a dozen fierce thugs with him. He seems to be looking for something. He doesn't look like a good person. You should be careful at night!" Grandma Liu couldn't help telling the two young people again .

"Thank you, Grandma Liu, don't worry, with me here, Jingxin will be fine." Murong Chen smiled politely, as a guarantee.

"You are the husband's family in Jingxin City, right? This child looks really good. Hey, you have to take care of Jingxin. She has no mother since she was a child. She lived with her aunt and suffered a lot. What a miserable child!" Grandma Liu sighed authentically.

"Thank you for your concern for Jingxin. Don't worry, I will take good care of her." Murong Chen smiled indifferently and sincerely.

"Why don't you go to grandma's house for a night. My house is next door. My old lady is alone at home. My children and grandchildren are all living in the town. I am reluctant to leave here, so I have been guarding this old house." Liu Grandma was very enthusiastic and talked a lot.

"Grandma Liu, don't bother you. It's fine to stay here for one night. Let's just tidy up." Su Jingxin declined with a smile.

Grandma Liu gave a few more instructions before turning around and leaving. "She is your neighbor, is she familiar with you?" Murong Chen felt very kind to the only old man who knew Jingxin well, and asked involuntarily.

"Well, Grandma Liu is very kind. My aunt beat me when I was a child. If she saw her, she would come and intercede for me. So every time my aunt picked up the feather duster, I would call for help. Grandma Liu would never let me Disappointed, she would rush over as soon as she heard the sound, and I even nicknamed her Sai Songjiang, which means timely rain in timely rain." Thinking back to her childhood, Jingxin said sweetly.

"Haha! When you were a child, your real leather was as good as your master's." Murong Chen said with a big laugh. "Actually, I'm quite honest, but no one wants to be beaten, right? If you don't ask for help, who will come to save you? I'm not skinny, I'm wise and safe." Su Jingxin said very proudly.

The two wiped the dust in the house, put the boxes and cabinets they messed up, arranged the tables and chairs neatly, everything was tidied up, it was getting dark.

"Let's go get something to eat, we'll be back later to clean up other things." Murong Chen couldn't help suggesting, seeing that the room was so clean that it didn't look like there was food.

"It's half an hour away from the nearest tavern in the town, are you sure you want to go out to eat?" Su Jingxin joked while looking at Murong Chen with a smile.

"I don't want to go out, but I can't be hungry all night, I'm hungry when I'm hungry, I can't let you go hungry with me, right?" Murong Chen glanced at Su Jingxin who was gloating over there, a little embarrassed typical.

"Don't worry, you won't be hungry, just wait." Saying that, Su Jingxin ran to the backyard, and Murong Chen followed closely with a suspicious expression on her face.

Su Jingxin quickly took out a bundle of vegetables, a few eggs and a small jar of fine wine from the hidden cellar, and said excitedly, "Are these enough?"

"Yo! There's quite a lot of stock in stock. Are you keeping it for emergency use during the war?" Murong Chen teased Su Jingxin with a smile.

"Fuck you, it's because it's inconvenient to buy food here. My aunt has always used this method to store food. I thought, she had just left for three days, so there should be some food left. When I went in, it turned out to be enough for two meals. It's over." Su Jingxin said contentedly.

"You know how to cook?" Murong Chen asked involuntarily as he looked at the vegetables.

"No, don't you?" Su Jingxin asked with a sly smile.

"My master only knows how to roast meat, but I've never roasted this vegetable before!" Murong Chen said embarrassingly.

"Haha, just kidding, I can cook by myself when I'm six years old. A child without a mother who can't cook can easily starve to death. You can't understand it." Su Jingxin said with a wry smile.

"Jingxin, it's really hard for you, I won't let you suffer any more in the future." Murong Chen suddenly felt very sore in his heart, and said solemnly.

"Thank you, I believe in you." Su Jingxin nodded earnestly. She did not know when she had become very dependent on Murong Chen, and trusted him unconditionally.
