183 Return to Their Territory (1/2)
Jun family territory
Jun Hua stared outside. The numbers of people here have grown even more. The family members of the soldiers of Jun family are all here. Jun Hua stopped the carriage in front of the governor office building. She steps out and a few servants come to greet her.
”Miss Hua, is there anything you need?”
Jun Hua looked around. ”Jun Kang, where is he?”
”He is inside.”
Walking towards the building, Jun Hua noticed the people here worked hard. She hopes that they didn't only do that because of her, but because it is their job. Inside the building, they take her to a small room where a boy around 14 of age is looking through the paper. He stopped when he noticed them coming.
”Sister Hua!” the boy smiled. ”You come!”
Jun Hua nodded. Jun Kang is Lin Kang new name. Because he's already considered dead, Jun Qing chooses to take him into the Jun family and rename him with their surname. Since he's quite smart, he was appointed to help in the governor office.
”How's your work, Jun Kang?”
”There's a lot, but its fun. Let me take you to meet with mother, she will be happy to see you again,” Jun Kang stands up happily. Before he was still a bit shorter than Jun Hua, but now he's already a few centimeters higher. It seems the boys are all growing so quickly.
Jun Hua didn't decline, but she reminds him to finish his job later. Concubine Qi is now using her previous name, Qi Mei, and live with taking care of a store.
”Mother, I'm bringing a guest.”
Qi Mei raised her head in surprise. ”My, Lady Hua, what an unexpected surprise.”
”I see you have been good here, Madam Yu.”
Qi Mei smiled. Although it is harder to maintain a business here, it is easier than contending against the woman scheme. Besides, she is happy to work here and her son could learn as an officials. For her, everything is great.
”Yes, I feel really happy here. Is there anything important happened, Lady Hua?”
”There will be a war soon, so I want you to stay alert. However, you don't have to worry. I won't let them come here.”
Qi Mei nodded. ”You have to take care of yourself.”
Jun Hua and the two chatted for a bit. They never got the chance to have a proper talk before now. Previously, Jun Hua is talking to them out of interest because Jun Kan is selected at the hunt event. But now, she is talking because she wants to.
She cannot stay for long and after ensuring that they are fine, she left. Qi Mei also told Jun Kang to continue his job and learn. The meeting is short, but it's warm.
Jun Hua walks to the carriage again. ”How many days left before my uncle marriage?”
”There are still 12 days.”
”Let's head to the Guo village first before going to Mountain Kingdom.”
