Thinking of this, a trace of peace welled up in Song Yun's heart.

"No, wait a minute...... When I first talked to Zhuge Yu about the woman in black, he frowned and was silent, it was a very complex and unforgettable expression.

"I didn't pay attention to these details at the time, but now that I think about it, it's really weird. Does he know that his wife was the culprit of my father's murder? That's even weirder, it makes sense that he should put away the portrait so I don't find it! Perhaps, he didn't know that his wife was a killer of country E...... But how can he explain his complicated expression?

"Did he find out that his wife was the murderer after listening to my account? Then he found out that I was in love with Zhuge Yun, so he asked me to marry his daughter to atone for his wife's sins.

"Zhuge Yu kept the portrait hanging in that bedroom and didn't put it away, just to show that he knew about his wife's crime and begged me to forgive her...... No! This guess is also incorrect.

"Alas, things are really messy, and the woman in black is getting more and more mysterious. Zhuge Yu is the elder I respect the most, he is also a good friend who has fought side by side with his father, they are both patriotic veterans, and Zhuge Yu is the father of his wife Zhuge Yun.

However, his wife, Zou Lamei, is different. If she is a loving and gentle mother as Zhuge Yun said, I will also respect her. But if she were a woman in black, I would hate her for the rest of my life, and I would have pierced her portrait in the chest like the woman in black did when she assassinated my father......"

Song Yun tossed and turned in bed all night, holding his head in his hands, and his excessive worry and thinking made him have a splitting headache.

Early the next morning, Song Yun rubbed his temples with his hands and went for a walk in the courtyard. When he strolled to a path behind the manor, the shirtless old man Jiang Bo was cutting down a big tree with a big axe.

"Uncle, good morning!"

Jiang Bo put up a big axe on the one hand, and greeted Song Yun on the other.

"Good morning! Uncle Jiang. You're up and working so early. Song Yun slowly walked to the old man's side.

"Yes, I'm preparing firewood for the winter...... the old man said with a smile as he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sturdy arms. He was a strong old man, and he didn't look at all like an old man over seventy.

"It's very cold here in the winter, and I've heard that this winter will come sooner.

"I'm worried about whether you and Miss are adapted to the climate here, so I have discussed with my wife and decided to prepare firewood for the winter from now on, lest you freeze to death.

"When Madame used to live here, she was damaged by the cold, but she was very weak......

"So, Madame rarely goes out, huh?" Song Yun asked pretending to be calm.

"That's right, Mr. Zhuge bought this manor for his wife. When she first moved here, she was very happy because of the fresh air and elegant environment, and she often took her two children to play on the grass, or went out for a walk with her husband...... At that time, Madame was in good spirits and in good health.

"One year, shortly after the beginning of autumn, the weather became colder, and my wife often had fever, cough, and high fever at night. Zhuge Yu was worried, the doctor said that the germs had infected his wife's lungs, and if he spent the winter in the manor, his condition would worsen. So, Mrs. persuaded Zhuge Yu to buy a house by the sea in the south of Dongzhou, and not long after, their family moved over......"

"Really? When was that? Do you remember? Of course, maybe you've forgotten it's been too long......"

"No, I can't forget it, I can't forget it. Because in the third year after Mr. Zhuge and his family moved out, his wife died. Every year on that day, we would pick flowers and plants from the forest to offer to the soul of my wife, and my wife and I have been doing this for fifteen years...... The family moved to their new home fifteen years ago, on October 28. ”

Song Yun was extremely puzzled, and dragged back to the manor with heavy and tired steps.

One morning three months later, Song Yun returned from a walk, and when she entered the living room, she found Zhuge Yun, who was pale, sitting on a chair waiting for him to return, anxious and nervous, with a newspaper spread out on her lap.

"Song Yun, it's bad, it's bad!"

Zhuge Yun quickly stood up from the sofa and shouted in panic.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"Look ......"

Song Yun took the newspaper, and the following headline was printed on it: Country E invaded the northern country again! Army E is ferocious to the south, and the north is in danger!

The valiant soldiers of the Northland resolutely resist and fight for the fate of the motherland! A few days ago, all provinces and municipalities across the country were calling for volunteers. Brave young people, give your life for the motherland! The people of the whole country take up arms and defend the country!

"The hateful and hateful devil of country E dares to be so rampant!" Song Yun couldn't help but scream. He angrily read the news reported in the newspaper several times, only to feel that his whole body was tense, his face was solemn, and his blood was boiling.

Country E has the ambition to dominate the world, and at the same time, it knows that the people of the northern country have been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. Invincible, Army E quickly attacked the loosely defended Nationalist army, and is now rapidly attacking the southern part of the northern country.

Song Yun slowly put down the newspaper and said to his wife calmly:

"Yun'er, I want to join the army!"

Song Yun's calm attitude and firm tone made Zhuge Yun speechless, and she was gentle and strong, so she could only look at her husband with affectionate eyes.

Although joining the army means sacrificing her life to serve the country, she may never return, but Zhuge Yun knows that her husband has made up her mind, and she herself is a patriotic young woman.

"Song Yun, may God bless you......"

"Yun'er, thank you. God will bless you too...... I should report to the army......"

"Okay, there you go!"

Zhuge Yun twisted her face, not wanting Song Yun to see her tearful face and complaining expression. The attentive Song Yun immediately stepped forward, hugged his beloved wife, gently stroked her smooth and soft hair, and kissed her tender face and lips......

Under Song Yun's hug and kiss, Zhuge Yun still couldn't restrain the sadness in her heart, tears slipped down like pearls, and an inseparable sorrow enveloped her.

……

Song Yun was awarded the rank of second lieutenant because of his university degree.

At this time, Army E had broken through the defense line of the national army and was launching an offensive to the south.

Song Yun's company was stationed in a nearby area about fifty miles from Fengshuping Village.

One day, a young soldier was assigned to Song Yun's company.

"Report the second lieutenant! Private First Class Zhuge Jian is here to report today! ”

"What? Zhuge Jian ......," Song Yun shouted in surprise.

"Yes, I'm Zhuge Jian." The young soldier said solemnly, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud. The two immediately hugged each other excitedly and patted each other on the shoulder.

"Brother Jian, you also joined the army?"
