A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

Chapter 241 Feeling Wronged

Zhuang Qingxiang almost got into trouble, and many people would have been implicated. Therefore, it was reasonable and justified for her to state that she would no longer get involved in these matters after returning to the provincial capital, and no one dared to say anything.

Once she returns to the provincial capital, she will part ways with Zhuang Luping. However, Zhuang Luping will not be arrested immediately. Instead, they will wait until he leaves to see who he contacts and what path he takes.

This is probably Zhuang Luping's final value.

Because they were traveling with their baby, Zhuang Luping and Zhuang Qingxiang didn't dare close their eyes for a moment on the train. When they got off the train, Zhuang Qingxiang felt like she was walking on cotton, and she couldn't even open her eyes.

It was already past midnight when the train arrived at the station. It was pitch black everywhere. Zhuang Qingxiang was still not fully awake when Zhuang Luping suddenly snatched the suitcase from her hand.

"Haruka, I'll take these with me for now. Wait for my news."

They disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Zhuang Qingxiang sighed, feeling apprehensive as she looked at the dark road, and considered whether she should hide in the train station and wait until dawn before leaving.

She was terrified that she could get into trouble walking at night. Now she had nothing but a dagger, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to protect herself.

After thinking for a long time, I decided to go back inside the train station, find a corner, spread my luggage on the floor, and try to tough it out.

Just as she was feeling drowsy yet extremely vigilant, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

Zhuang Qingxiang instantly gripped the dagger in her hand.

"Comrade Zhuang Qingxiang, we'll take you back." The man said in a low voice, "There's no danger now, and we've also sent someone to inform Director Lu."

Zhuang Qingxiang felt relieved, quickly got up, picked up her luggage, and followed.

A jeep was parked outside the station. Zhuang Qingxiang climbed into the car, still a little worried: "Are you sure no one will notice that you were the ones who took me home?"

"Don't worry, our people followed Zhuang Luping back to the location and confirmed it before coming to pick you up."

Zhuang Qingxiang was completely relieved.

The jeep drove into the government compound and stopped in front of her house. Zhuang Qingxiang immediately saw Lu Congyue standing at the door.

She was already feeling wronged, but seeing Lu Congyue made her feel even more wronged, so she quickly lowered her head and got out of the car.

After thanking the people, Lu Congyue picked up Zhuang Qingxiang's luggage and said in a low voice, "Let's go inside."

His calm voice reassured her, and Zhuang Qingxiang held back until she entered the house, closed the door, and then turned around and threw herself into Lu Congyue's arms.

Lu Congyue hugged her tightly, feeling her sobbing, so he hugged her even tighter.

"I'm sorry, I should have gone to the capital with you." He said through gritted teeth, "Qingxiang, you've been wronged. From now on, don't worry about these things anymore. If they come looking for you, I'll talk to them."

Zhuang Qingxiang looked up, tears still clinging to her eyelashes: "You don't blame me?"

"Why blame you? They're the ones in the wrong!" Lu Congyue's eyes were full of anger. "They failed to protect you, and you have the right to be angry."

Zhuang Qingxiang was a little happy.

Her mother had compromised her whole life and taught her to compromise as well, and she had always done so.

This was the first time she had ever lost her temper. She thought Lu Congyue would advise her to be patient and compromise like her mother would, but she never expected him to support her.

"Are you... telling the truth?" She was still a little unsure.

"Of course!" Lu Congyue couldn't bear to see her cry. He wiped away her tears with his thumb, then pulled her into his arms and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Qingxiang, you have the right to be angry, the right to refuse. Just be well."

Zhuang Qingxiang couldn't break free as he pressed the back of her head against her chest; her face buried in his chest made it hard for her to breathe.

But suddenly all the grievances I felt before vanished, leaving only happiness.

Especially his scent, which I could smell in every breath, was very pleasant and reassuring.

"I'm so tired," she said in a muffled voice. "I'm so sleepy..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was lifted up in his arms, and Lu Congyue's gentle voice sounded above her: "Sleep, I'm here."

Zhuang Qingxiang drifted off to sleep in a daze. Before she fell completely asleep, she felt like something was on her mind, but she couldn't remember anything before she had a chance to think about it.

Lu Congyue didn't turn on the light, but drew back the curtains and quietly watched Zhuang Qingxiang sleeping in the moonlight.

My heart, which had been racing with anxiety and turmoil since receiving the news, finally settled back into place.

The organization said that her accident was an accident because there were not enough people sent. They needed to leave people at the guesthouse and at least two or three people to accompany Zhuang Luping, so they did not send anyone to accompany Zhuang Qingxiang to buy train tickets.

This one oversight led her into danger, resulting in one death and two injuries.

Ha ha……

Why wasn't it a triple death?

His wife is really amazing, truly wonderful. She's learned everything he taught her, but she's not ruthless enough yet.

So he took charge of this matter for her. He wanted to investigate it thoroughly, and everyone who was negligent would be held accountable. Even if they had made a contribution this time, they could only make up for it with their merits.

Lu Congyue stared intently for a long time before confirming that Zhuang Qingxiang had indeed returned unharmed.

He bent down and kissed her forehead, then tiptoed away.

My wife was frightened, exhausted, and sleepy. She's also been under a lot of pressure lately, and she's lost weight.

Let her get a good night's sleep; she needs to be well-rested.

Lu Congyue couldn't sleep and was busy working outside all by himself.

After packing Zhuang Qingxiang's luggage and washing her clothes, I boiled water to cook porridge and boiled a few eggs...

By the time I finished, it was already dawn.

Lu Congyue thought for a moment, then locked the door and went out.

Soon, he returned with fried dough sticks and steamed buns. After putting them down, he saw that Zhuang Qingxiang was still asleep, so he went out to ask for leave...

When Zhuang Qingxiang woke up, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was the man sitting next to her, staring at her intently. When he saw that she was awake, he even showed a slightly aggrieved expression.

"Are you awake?"

When Lu Congyue saw her open her eyes, he immediately leaned over and asked, "Are you thirsty? Have some water."

Soon, a cup of warm water was brought to her lips. Zhuang Qingxiang drank half a cup of water in one go, and her sleepy mind finally cleared up.

"What time is it?" She rubbed her forehead.

That aggrieved expression reappeared on Lu Congyue's face.

"It's already four in the afternoon... If I sleep a little longer, the whole day will be over..."

"The breakfast I made for you, and the breakfast I bought, has all turned into afternoon food..."

"You're sleeping so soundly I'm scared. If you don't wake up soon, I'm going to have to take you to the hospital..."

Zhuang Qingxiang was a little confused: "Four o'clock in the afternoon? I slept for that long?"

Lu Congyue nodded: "Are you hungry? I'll go get some food. You don't need to get off the kang (heated brick bed), you can eat on the kang."

Zhuang Qingxiang was indeed hungry. When Lu Congyue brought over several dishes, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Millet porridge, soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, eggs, pancakes, braised pork with potatoes, chicken soup...

This really does include breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Lu Congyue coughed lightly: "I'm afraid you won't like it. You can eat whatever you want, and I'll eat the rest."

"Thank you." Zhuang Qingxiang felt a warmth in her heart.

It's clear that he's been thinking about her since he woke up, and he's been thinking about her all day.
