Quick Wear: This is my wife

Chapter 460 Prince VS Little Brother 60

The only thought in his mind was to see his long-missed wife as soon as possible. She was his spiritual comfort in this troubled world and the only reason why he was eager to go home.

Finally, at the end of August, he arrived in the capital.

The capital city that came into view was still prosperous and bustling, but he keenly noticed that there was a hint of unease in the air.

Last year’s drought made people’s lives extremely difficult. We thought this year would be a good year with good weather, but the bright sunny weather now reveals the trend of another round of drought.

He saw too many refugees along the way. It was only the end of August and the crops had not yet been harvested, but people were already fleeing famine. It was conceivable that many people would be displaced this year.

Fu Nanzhan sighed inwardly, thinking that there is still a long way to go before there can be peace in the world and tranquility for the people.

"Hurry up, the Prince Regent's Palace is giving out porridge at the North Gate!"

"Hurry up and line up! This Wang Jun is truly a kind man!"

"Yes! The Regent is fighting outside to resist foreign enemies, and the King is in the capital, distributing porridge to help refugees..."

The noisy and bustling city sounds came like waves.

During this time, the familiar and kind calls, like lively notes, went straight into Fu Nanzhan's ears, allowing him to instantly catch the name he had been thinking about.

In an instant, the thin figure of my lover involuntarily emerged in my mind. He was working tirelessly outside the city gate under the scorching sun, guarding several steaming pots and providing porridge relief to the displaced refugees.

Thinking of his frail body being roasted in the scorching sun and his clothes soaked with sweat, Fu Nanzhan's heart felt as if it were deeply pierced by thousands of fine needles, and a feeling of pity arose spontaneously.

Fu Nanzhan was extremely anxious. He kicked the horse's belly hard, and the horse rushed along the street towards the north gate like an arrow.

Along the way, the dust raised behind him formed a yellow dragon, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Soon, I saw a bustling crowd at the north gate from afar, and in the middle of the crowd, the haunting figure was busy moving around.

Xiao Yubai was wearing plain clothes, his little face was tanned red by the scorching sun, like a ripe apple. Beads of crystal sweat slid down his smooth cheeks, flowed down his slender neck, and disappeared into his collar.

His voice had become hoarse from shouting for so long, but he still gave firm and powerful instructions to the servants in the mansion: "Everyone line up, don't crowd, each person can only get one bowl of porridge, everyone has a share."

Fu Nanzhan held the reins and stared quietly at Xiao Yubai's busy figure, and was a little dazed for a moment.

He had originally planned to walk up to her, embrace her in his arms, and bring her back to the palace to comfort her.

But looking at Xiao Yubai's focused and serious expression, he hesitated again.

He didn't want to ruin the good deed his wife was so enthusiastic about doing. If he interrupted her rashly at this time, he would definitely be unhappy. He must not become an obstacle on his way forward, even if it was out of love.

So, Fu Nanzhan suppressed his inner impulse and waited silently by the side.

More than an hour passed, and the refugees received their porridge one after another and dispersed contentedly.

Seeing the servants in the mansion starting to clean up the pots, pans, tables, chairs and benches, Fu Nanzhan led the horse and slowly walked forward.

Xiao Yubai was packing up his things with his head down, muttering to himself, "Today's porridge has been distributed. Everyone, come early tomorrow..."

When the servants around saw Fu Nanzhan coming, they were stunned at first, then a look of surprise appeared on their faces. They were about to salute, but were stopped by Fu Nanzhan with a look.

Xiao Yubai didn't notice anything unusual and was still busy with his own business. It was not until he heard continuous gasps that he looked up in confusion.

In an instant, the figure he had been thinking about day and night appeared before his eyes like a god. For a moment, he thought he was dreaming.

"Husband?" Xiao Yubai murmured subconsciously. Then, a brilliant smile blossomed on his face like a flower in bloom in spring, his eyes gleaming with surprise and excitement. "Husband, you're back!"

There was no trace of doubt in that tone, only certainty and joy.

Fu Nanzhan opened his arms and was about to hug his wife, but Xiao Yubai suddenly glared at him, with a hint of anger and shyness in his eyes.

Before he could react, Xiao Yubai quickly grabbed his hand and walked quickly towards the carriage beside him.

As soon as she entered the carriage, Xiao Yubai threw herself into Fu Nanzhan's arms, wrapped her arms around his waist tightly, and said in a tearful voice, "Husband, I miss you so much!"

The voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Fu Nanzhan also hugged Xiao Yubai tightly, feeling his increasingly thin body, his heart full of pity: "I miss you too, I miss you so much."

"Husband, why did you come back so soon?" Xiao Yubai raised her head and looked at Fu Nanzhan with tears in her eyes.
