Fu Xiaoyu felt a pang of disappointment when she saw Cui Yulu's serious and earnest expression. She hadn't expected that Cui Yulu would really abandon her.

Looking at the anxious old man, Cui Yulu calmly said, "Grandfather's words are not without reason, and I understand these reasons. However, we have both lost our memories. I am not sure if Xiaoyu and I have really gone through the wedding ceremony. Since Miss Qiao said that she met him first, I can't force her to stay. After New Year's Eve, you can take him away."

"Is what you're saying true, my wife? You really don't want me anymore? You just want to buy a little mute boy? How can he compare to me?"

Fu Xiaoyu pointed angrily at the little mute girl. He had lost the bet this time. He was not sad because he had lost the bet, but because his wife had given up on him so easily.

Since she's giving up, then I'll give up too. Everyone has their little temper.

"Hmph, since you don't want me anymore, then I don't want you either. Let's part ways here and never bother each other again."

After Fu Xiaoyu finished speaking, he took Qiao Yuzhu's hand and left the stone cave together, heading towards the woods.

"Hey, this brat's temper is just like his grandfather's, stubborn and unruly. You come back here right now, Yulu is your wife, where are you running off to?"

Old Ghost Head was yelling from behind, thinking of catching up with him and pulling him back.

As a result, the kid walked faster and faster, completely ignoring his instructions.

“She’s not my wife, she doesn’t want me anymore, so I won’t stay here.”

After saying that, he glanced at Cui Yulu, but seeing that she didn't try to stop him, he turned his head away again.

“Yulu, no matter how much you argue, he's just trying to upset you because he sees how good you are to the little mute. Just go and coax him.”

Xia Lan'er looked at Cui Yulu anxiously, wanting her to call Fu Xiaoyu back.

“Let him go. He’s been increasingly disobedient these past few days, and I can’t control him. He doesn’t like to listen to me either. Since he prefers to listen to that Miss Qiao, then let them go.”

"Let's eat our food, otherwise it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Cui Yulu picked up a piece of bamboo shoot stir-fried with meat with her chopsticks and put it in the little mute's bowl, and then put a piece of chicken in the old ghost's bowl.

"Everyone, eat up! These bamboo shoots are so fresh! Little Mute just dug them out of the bamboo forest today. They taste amazing."

Seeing her enthusiasm, everyone felt embarrassed to say anything more. After all, none of them knew what the two of them had been through together. They hadn't expected things to turn out like this in just two days.

In the evening, everyone lit a bonfire and prepared to stay up all night to welcome the New Year.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've ever stayed up all night on New Year's Eve. My master never asked me about staying up all night with him before."

Xia Lan'er looked at the campfire and sat there lost in memories.

"How about we all stay up together to celebrate the Lunar New Year every year from now on?"

Cui Yulu looked at everyone with a smile. It seemed to be the first time she had ever spent such a lively New Year's Eve.

This is the first time I can remember doing this, but somehow, there's always a blurry face that seems to be calling my name.

In the town.

"Mom, shall we make dumplings tonight?"

"Yes, go chop the meat. My noodles will be ready soon."

Liu Meie thought this year would be a year of family reunion, but the old lady passed away, Yulu disappeared, and now even Han Yu'an has been taken to the capital. Only the few of them are left at home, and they can't even have a lively gathering.

"Grandma, when is Brother Abu coming back? It's already the New Year, and we haven't seen him at all. He doesn't keep his word."

With candy in his mouth, Niu Niu asked softly to Liu Meie, his face still round and chubby.

"Hey, your brother Abu probably won't be coming back. His status is different now, and he has a lot of things to take care of. He doesn't have time to come and see you."

Niu Niu was unhappy when she heard this. She pouted and crossed her arms angrily, saying, "Hmph, I knew Brother Abu didn't keep his word. I won't play with him anymore."

Looking at her granddaughter's well-behaved and adorable appearance, Liu Hongmei wiped the flour off her hands and patted her head.

"You're saying this nicely now, but what will you say when you see your brother Abu later?"

"No, absolutely not."

Niu Niu said firmly.

Suddenly there was a knock on the front door. Liu Meie couldn't open it, so she called Han Bao out.

"Who would come to our house during the Chinese New Year?"

"Hurry up and open the door, maybe Yu'an is back for the New Year."

Liu Meie kicked her son's bottom, and Han Bao quickly ran to open the door.

Before I even reached the door, I heard a clanging and banging sound coming from it. Could it really be that a nobleman from Kyoto has returned?

Han Bao was overjoyed and quickened his pace. The moment he opened the door, a little boy dressed in a yellow robe appeared before him.

A large group of guards followed behind them, and judging from their clothes, they were not from their area.

When Han Bao finally saw the little boy's face clearly, he was overjoyed.

I just heard my niece wanting to see Abu in the house, and I didn't expect him to come here so soon.

"Little Abu, aren't you Little Abu?"

Han Bao happily ruffled his hair, while the waiter beside him glared angrily at Han Bao and brandished his weapon.

As a result, he was stopped by Little Abu.

"Once you've moved your things into the courtyard, you can go back to the post station. The rest is none of your business."

At this moment, Abu already displayed a supreme demeanor, and his every move exuded an air of nobility.

"Well done, little guy. You've really gotten impressive. You can even manage so many people now. I never knew you were a little prince. Speaking of which, our family is the one that gave you a second life, isn't it?"

Han Bao chattered on and on in his ear with great enthusiasm.

Little Abu had no choice but to stop his incessant chatter.

"I've come here to repay your kindness. All these things are gifts from me. And isn't my sister Yulu here?"

Han Bao's heart jumped instantly; it turned out that this little guy didn't know the truth.

That's a difficult situation now.

Han Chunying overheard Xiao Abu asking about Cui Yulu's situation in the kitchen, and was afraid that her second brother would let something slip.

She quickly ran out and chimed in, "Your sister Yulu went to Kyoto for the New Year with my third brother. Your timing is really unfortunate."

A look of disappointment crossed Little Abu's face.

"I was hoping to see her today and take her back to show my maternal grandparents. You don't know, do you? My sister Yulu is the Holy Maiden of our foreign land. However, I have already bestowed upon her the title of Princess of our foreign land. From now on, her status will be extremely noble. You must not bully her."

Hearing his words, everyone felt a pang of disappointment. They were willing to greet Cui Yulu with respect, as long as she was alive.
