Chapter 697: The widowed sister-in-law is beautiful but has a tragic fate (25)

After more than ten years of marriage, the couple's feelings became increasingly strong, and Wen Zhao was given the title of Vice Minister of the Ministry of War and promoted to the second rank.

If we go any higher, we’ll probably have to go back to Beijing.

Lord Wen, who is over thirty years old, is kneeling in front of the bed washing his wife's feet. He has been doing this job for more than ten years and is very good at it.

After wiping the water droplets, he was about to hug Gu Zhen, but Gu Zhen kicked him away.

Wen Zhao had no choice but to wash his hands several times before coming back. He held down the person who wanted to escape and said, "Why do you still dislike yourself? You're not dirty."

Gu Zhen took the opportunity to crawl into his arms and make trouble. The man who had been through the years had a more unique flavor. She touched the stubble on Wen Zhao's chin and said, "A Zhao, you are old."

Wen Zhao chuckled softly in his throat, and went over to rub his chin against her cheek: "Ah Zhen hasn't changed much, she hasn't aged, and she's getting more beautiful every day."

He pressed her down and kissed her. They were an old couple, and he often made Gu Zhen blush and unable to resist. After a while, Gu Zhen begged for mercy in a tender voice.

"We're leaving tomorrow, and I don't want to be unable to get up and let the kids laugh at me."

Wen Zhao knew his daughter's mouth and said with a smile, "I don't know who she took after. Neither you nor I are the kind of people who will not give in to others even if they are right."

No matter who he looks like, it is true that Wen Zhao is spoiled. In front of Lord Wen, who is known as "Wen the King of Hell", only Wen Yao dares to put him in a high position.

"Is it okay to leave Yaoyao here?" Wen Zhao was worried about his daughter and wanted to take her to Beijing with him and return to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

"What's wrong with that? She likes to play with the kids from the private school. Your senior brother can take care of several kids."

Xie Songhan came to Bashu the year before last. After resigning from his official post, he was left with only the title of the heir of a marquisate. He then opened a private school in Yuzhou.

I have not yet been able to obtain Lin Yueru's forgiveness.

Wen Zhao came to Beijing this time to report on his work, and the emperor summoned these officials from other places to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing to show his grace and favor, and they could come back after the celebration.

Wen Zhao had to bring his family with him, otherwise he would not want to let Gu Zhen go through the tiring journey.

The two decided to set off early, visit their master and mistress in Qinghe Town, and then pay their respects at the Wen family's ancestral tomb.

This was the bad thing about ancient times: people had to plan their trip several months in advance.

Wen Zhao patted Gu Zhen's arm and said, "Go to sleep. I'll wake you up tomorrow morning."

The next day, the two of them set out at dawn. Wen Yao was so sleepy that she yawned but she still came to see her parents off. The little girl had two pigtails on her hair. She was not yet of marriageable age and looked very childish.

Wen Zhao was immediately reluctant to leave, and after the carriage had gone away, he couldn't help but wipe away his old father's bitter tears.

Wen Zhao felt better only when they arrived at Qinghe Town.

But not long after, something happened that no one expected.

In front of the renovated ancestral grave, they saw a person who had been dead for many years.

Wen An.

Wen An, the eldest brother of the Wen family.

Wen Zhao almost fainted at that time. The governor, who never panicked in the face of difficulties, showed a panic-stricken expression for the first time.

His first reaction was to hold Gu Zhen's hand tightly.

Gu Zhen never expected that what he said would come true, and Wen An was indeed not dead.

She was calmer than Wen Zhao, but still had a strange feeling. How could she explain this Shura-like situation?

Wen An is not tall, but he has a handsome appearance and looks like an honest man. He has just arrived in Qinghe Town. After asking around, he found out that his parents were both dead and his younger brother had passed the imperial examination and was sent to Shu to serve as a high-ranking official.

The most important thing is that Wen Zhao married Gu Zhen.

Wen An wanted to go to Shu, but he didn't expect to meet them here.

After many years, this man, who is nearly forty years old, no longer looks like the naive young boy he once was. He doesn't seem to mind the fact that Gu Zhen and Wen Zhao are together at all.

Wen An took the initiative to hug his brother: "A Zhao, long time no see."

Wen Zhao finally reacted and hugged his elder brother back: "Brother, where have you been! Do you know how worried your parents were about you back then?"

Wen An patted his brother: "This is a long story."

He sighed deeply and slowly began to talk about the past.

He had a conflict with someone that year. The other party saw the small statue of Gu Zhen in his arms and said some unpleasant words. Wen An was so angry that he started to fight. Unexpectedly, the man was unlucky. He fell to the ground while dodging, and his head hit the iron, and he died on the spot.

Wen An was really scared. He didn't know at that time that his family had married him to Gu Zhen. If he had known, he would never have disfigured the man and changed their clothes and household registration documents.

Wen An became that man. He bribed officials to get a job in another place and endured for five years before leaving there.

But we also learned from the letter sent from the man’s hometown that he had a widowed mother and an unmarried wife.

Wen Anxin is not a bad person. He feels guilty for accidentally killing someone, so he sends all the money he earned over the years back to the person as compensation.

When he finally returned home, he also went to take a look at the man's hometown, but he couldn't leave after that.

His old mother, who had gone blind from working late into the night to make clothes, and his frail fiancée were both waiting for him to return.

Wen An stayed there, married, and took care of her mother. It was not until this year, when both of them passed away, that he decided to go home.

Gu Zhen felt upset after hearing this. Fate was so cruel.

In the original plot, Wen An came back and learned that everyone was dead, and he didn't know how to blame himself.

The situation was even more awkward now. Gu Zhen lowered his head and said nothing. Wen Zhao's eyes turned red, feeling sorry for his elder brother and wondering how he had survived all these years.

Wen An smiled and said, "I can't enter the old house, so I'm staying in the inn. Come on, I'll take you to meet my son. He looks a bit like A Zhao."

Wen Zhao and Gu Zhen both breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Wen An had a son, so at least he had some support.

They went to the inn together and laughed when they saw the young man who was as thin as a calf.

It is indeed a widened version of Xiao A Zhao.

"I didn't have a hard life as you think. After all, I learned to read and write for a few years from my father, worked as an accountant there, and later did business with others. My life was pretty good." Wen Anle said with a smile.

Gu Zhen felt relieved when she saw that his clothes and accommodation were indeed okay.

The two invited him to go to Shu, and Wen An agreed immediately. He wanted to go back home and reunite with his family, otherwise he would feel like he had no roots left with his son.

The four of them separated in Qinghe Town. Wen Zhao sent people to send his eldest brother and nephew to Shu, while he took Gu Zhen and continued to the capital.

In the carriage, Wen Zhao's emotions, which had been suppressed for several days, finally burst out.

He buried his head in his wife's neck and said sullenly, "I'm sorry, brother. When the body was brought back, why did we accept it?"

Gu Zhen knew that he was upset and comforted him, "Who could have thought of this? It's fate, don't blame yourself. Big brother is fine now, and he has a son. He will definitely be fine in the future."

Wen Zhao felt that his elder brother must not have forgotten Gu Zhen. The look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Zhen was the same as before in Qinghe Town, and he felt mixed emotions.

"Ah Zhen, I always feel like this day was stolen. It shouldn't belong to me. For twenty years, I often have this feeling. Sometimes I even dream that I died inexplicably. If it weren't for you, I think I might really die somewhere."

Gu Zhen didn't expect Wen Zhao to be so insecure. She reached out and touched his face: "I'm with you. You won't die. We will always be happy."

Wen Zhao nodded and gave Gu Zhen a kiss on the eyes.

"Ah Zhen, don't leave me, never for the rest of your life."

Gu Zhen raised her chin and took the initiative to kiss him: "Okay."

After so many ups and downs over the years, of course we have to keep going.
