He said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Lu Xiaoyun. Old Master Hong said that you have no children and your lifespan is short. It's all my fault."

Lu Xiaoyun gave a bitter smile: "It's none of your business, and I've never thought about having any children. As for lifespan, this life was stolen. You've forgotten, I died long ago in the modern world."

Zhu Yu looked at Lu Xiaoyun with deep eyes: "Don't worry, I will listen to Elder Hong and take good care of myself."

"good."

"So, I regret it. Lu Xiaoyun, I regret it."

"What?"

“I wrote that divorce agreement because I thought I couldn’t get you pregnant and fulfill your wish to be a mother. But now I regret it, but my brother-in-law took the divorce agreement.”

Lu Xiaoyun gave an awkward smile: "Didn't we agree long ago that once we switched back, we would get a divorce and become strangers? It's just that the time has been brought forward a little. As long as you're careful, my father and brother won't find out."

Zhu Yuxin felt a sudden, sharp pain, as if someone had pricked him with a needle. He grabbed Lu Xiaoyun and pressed his lips against hers again.

Lu Xiaoyun didn't expect Zhu Yu to react like this, and she opened her mouth to bite him.

Having learned from the previous kiss, she not only failed to bite him, but Zhu Yu also took the opportunity to slip inside.

Since it was her own body, Lu Xiaoyun didn't dare to bite really hard.

But the person above used great force, disregarding everything, as if he wanted to tear her apart and devour her.

Lu Xiaoyun felt weak and limp all over, and involuntarily wanted to fall back onto the bed.

Two more cuckoo calls came from afar, even more urgent than before.

Lu Xiaoyun's mind cleared instantly. She pushed Zhu Yu away and gasped for breath: "Zhu Yu, you, you want to suffocate me."

Zhu Yu: "..." What a wonderful atmosphere, ruined by that sentence.

"I...I have to go." Lu Xiaoyun hurriedly got off the bed. If this continued, she would definitely lose her virginity today.

Her clothes were disheveled, and her hair was messy. She picked up the cloak draped over her shoulder and fled toward the window.

Zhu Yu stared blankly at the flustered Lu Xiaoyun, and suddenly felt, "Hmm, not bad."

As she walked to the window, Lu Xiaoyun remembered that she had other things to discuss with Zhu Yu today.

Frustrated, she stamped her foot, her face flushed, and lowered her head: "Ming, I'll come to pick you up for the banquet at the palace tomorrow morning."

Zhu Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Lu Xiaoyun fled in panic.

"Lu Xiaoyun".

"Huh? What?"

"Fang Shi has been locked up by Father, and Lu Jinmi has been forced to kneel in the ancestral hall these past few days and won't be coming out. I'll handle it, don't worry," he said with a smile.

A tender feeling washed over her, and she said, "Oh, okay."

Two more cuckoo calls came from outside, the calls becoming more urgent.

Knowing that she couldn't delay any longer, and estimating that the Duke's guards had returned, Lu Xiaoyun opened the window, glanced back at Zhu Yu who was staring intently at her, and then scrambled out of the house on all fours.

Zhu Yu sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on the closed window.

The scent of pine resin from Lu Xiaoyun still lingered on his lips. He licked the corner of his lips again and smacked his lips twice.

I never felt anything when I swallowed saliva before, but now that it's inhabited Lu Xiaoyun's soul, it feels sweet.

Lu Xiaoyun didn't push him away immediately after being bullied like this. Does this mean that she has feelings for him?

Yes, that's right, that must be it.

He couldn't just let her leave like that.

At worst, he, a prince, could become Lu Xiaoyun's mistress.

Jiang Chuan, who was outside the courtyard wall, finally saw his prince crawl out of the wall like a dog.

"Your Highness, Wu Chuan is about to collapse. The Zhenguo Duke's secret guards have arrived. We must retreat immediately."

Lu Xiaoyun nodded: "Okay."

The two ran quickly toward the Prince An's residence.

Having just returned to the Prince An's residence, Lu Xiaoyun had just taken off her cloak and entered the room when a faint voice drifted out from the darkness.

"Did my elder sister go to see Zhu Yu? Or Lu Yucheng? Or perhaps the Duke of Zhenguo?"

Both were time travelers, but the older sister had a father, an older brother, and a bunch of step-sisters and step-brothers, while he had nothing.

Lu Xiaoyun was startled and quickly lit the glass lamp on the table. She saw Ayan lying alone on the couch, looking at her with eyes that seemed to be aggrieved and resentful.

His body was awkwardly turned to the side.

"I knew it. You must have gone to find Zhu Yu with the Prince's guards in the middle of the night."

"What's so good about him? So what if Prince Lu took him away?"

Isn't it enough to have a younger brother like me?

Lu Xiaoyun's lips twitched: "What kind of expression is that? I did go to find Zhu Yu, but you know about what happened between the two of us. My brother left without saying a word, without listening to my explanation, and took Zhu Yu with him. There are many things I haven't told Zhu Yu yet. If something goes wrong, you know the consequences."

Lu Xiaoyun touched her head. She had just seen him, but it seemed like she hadn't said anything.

Why did she rush over the wall to see Zhu Yu?

Lu Yuyan didn't want to listen. He had been punched innocently today and was extremely annoyed: "Hmph, sister, you don't need to explain to me. Now that you have a father and an older brother in this era, do you no longer want me, your younger brother?"

Lu Xiaoyun chuckled, walked over, and ruffled Lu Yuyan's hair: "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

Lu Yuyan slapped Lu Xiaoyun's hand away; when they were little, she used to like to rub his head.

Later, when he grew up and became much taller than his older sister, she could no longer reach his head, and that's when she stopped rubbing it.

As a result, when he transmigrated here, his older sister became a man, and was even half a head taller than him, so she could pat his head again.

Frustrated.

“You used to only have me as your younger brother. But here, you not only have a father, but also an older brother, and a bunch of half-siblings. I am no longer your only family.”

"No, you're now Prince An, and you also have Consort Duan, the Emperor, and a bunch of half-siblings. Humph!"

Lu Xiaoyun: "..." This guy is blocking her in the house to protest that she now has a bunch of parents, brothers and sisters?

Outside, Jiang Chuan was about to speak when Xi Yi grabbed him.

Jiang Chuan said unhappily, "What are you doing? I have something to discuss with the Prince."

"Don't you see what time it is? What can't we talk about tomorrow?"

Jiang Chuan vaguely heard voices inside: "Who's inside at this hour?"

Xi Yi glanced at him deeply and sighed softly, "With Mr. Lu here, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Jiang Chuan was furious: "Let me in! I want to see what this Mr. Lu is up to! Hasn't he harmed the Prince and Princess enough today? To be in the Prince's room in the middle of the night is too much!"

Xi Yi stopped him, saying, "Alright, don't you think you have enough to do today? We can talk about it tomorrow."

If the two of them were doing something in the house, what would it look like for Jiang Chuan to just walk in like that?
