Meng Pei looked at the man and smiled, "It's me, Brother Yuan, long time no see."
The middle-aged man surnamed Yuan widened his eyes instantly upon hearing him admit it, "Head Escort Meng, you, you're really still alive! When did you come back? Where have you been all these years? Back then..."
He paused halfway through his speech, recalling the events of the past, and couldn't help but sigh.
Everyone in the neighborhood knew each other. Meng Pei was a charitable and kind person who treated everyone well. They really couldn't believe what that official from the capital said about him abducting a young woman.
After all, everyone had witnessed the love between Song Xin and Meng Pei with their own eyes. The way they communicated with each other didn't seem like an act.
But when Song Xin passed away back then, and Meng Yunzheng was taken away, if Head Escort Meng was still alive, why didn't he come forward? It's been ten years.
