Cui Yulu, known as the jinx of Cui Family Village, is about to get married. Under the guise of doing what's best for her, her aunt accepts eight taels of silver from the Han family in the neigh...
"Actually, I know you're not my husband, and there's nothing between us, right?"
Cui Yulu wanted to get to the bottom of these questions because they had been bothering her for many days.
Fu Xiaoyu looked at her with some surprise. Although he wanted to deny it, he nodded. He liked Cui Yulu, he had liked her from the very beginning. He had thought about hiding it before, but in the end he couldn't bear to deceive her.
“We have a relationship, but it’s not a husband-wife relationship. But I’ve always loved you. And here’s this for you. You’ll understand everything once you’ve read it.”
Fu Xiaoyu handed Cui Yulu the divorce agreement that Han Yu'an had previously written.
After reading it, Cui Yulu looked at Fu Xiaoyu in disbelief: "Is all of this true? I really got divorced. That man named Han Yu'an doesn't want me anymore?"
She felt that something was off.
"If you want to know everything, I can take you back to him and ask him directly. If you still want to be with him, I won't bother you anymore."
Cui Yulu shook her head: "I've been missing for so many days, has he looked for me?"
Fu Xiaoyu nodded: "He did look for you, and he even thought about dying with you, but his family stopped him. Now he's a favorite of the Emperor and has a high status, but with your status, you're more than qualified to be with him."
God knows how much pain Fu Xiaoyu felt when she said those words.
But he didn't want to hide it any longer; only by breaking down all the barriers could they truly be together.
"Can you take me to see him secretly tonight? I just want to see him."
Fu Xiaoyu's heart sank to the bottom of the sea. He knew she still liked Han Yu'an, but he still nodded.
"Okay, I'll take you to see him tonight. You can stay in Kyoto if you want."
"No, I just want to take a look. I still prefer life here, peaceful and undisturbed."
Fu Xiaoyu knew in her heart that although she said this, she would still change her mind in the end, and might even end up with Han Yu'an.
Just as Fu Xiaoyu was lost in thought, Tuoba Xuan's hearty laughter came from outside, and it seemed that he was accompanied by a woman.
"Rain and Dew, look who I've brought with me!"
As Cui Yulu turned around, she saw a woman emerge from behind Tuoba Xuan. The woman looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite place where she had seen her before.
When their eyes met, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
"Oh dear, it's my fault. I forgot that Yulu has amnesia. She doesn't remember anything from before. Please don't take offense, Wanqing."
As he spoke, Tuoba Xuan chuckled and said to Cui Yulu, "Yulu, this is Wanqing. It was all thanks to her that we were able to rescue Fu Xiaofan and Fu Xiaoyu when we conquered Kyoto."
Cui Yulu looked at the woman in front of her; she had a friendly appearance and was not unpleasant to look at.
"Greetings, Miss Wanqing. Since you're here, you're a guest. Please have a seat. I'll go prepare lunch right away."
"There's no need for such trouble. I only came to check on you after hearing from Brother Tuoba that you were still alive. Now that you're alright, I'm relieved and won't bother you any longer."
As Xu Wanqing spoke, her eyes were fixed on Fu Xiaoyu. Cui Yulu seemed to remember something. Although she wasn't sure, she understood that look. Qiao Yuzhu looked at Fu Xiaoyu the same way, and Lai Guitou looked at Xia Lan'er the same way. It was the look of affection.
Xu Wanqing liked Fu Xiaoyu, which is why she betrayed her father to help him during that operation.
Cui Yulu suddenly understood everything.
I can't quite describe how I feel right now; it's a mix of bitterness and sadness.
"Since Miss Xu has nowhere to go, why don't you stay here? This place is quite spacious, enough for you to stay. Isn't that right, Fu Xiaoyu?"
Fu Xiaoyu, who was suddenly called out, looked up at Cui Yulu and nodded slightly.
"Yes, stay here. I've heard about your father's situation. You don't have anywhere to stay for the time being, so it's good for you to stay here."
"So you knew everything?"
Xu Wanqing was somewhat excited, her face flushed with joy. Fu Xiaoyu knew everything she had done, so it was all worth it.
"I know, thank you. When I get back, I will definitely ask the Emperor to reward you handsomely."
“I did all this not for a reward, I did it for you.”
Xu Wanqing mustered all her courage and said the words she had always wanted to say. After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and her face was flushed.
Cui Yulu felt a little embarrassed, so she pulled Tuoba Xuan and said, "Since Miss Xu has something to say to you, then my brother and I will go out first and ask our grandfather for the token, so that Miss Xu can come and go freely here."
Without waiting for Fu Xiaoyu to speak, he pulled Tuoba Xuan out of the stone cave.
"That girl, I, I didn't know that this Miss Xu liked Fu Xiaoyu, I, I didn't mean to."
"Brother, why are you apologizing? Isn't this fine? Miss Xu is a good girl, and they are a good match. It's good for them to be together."
"Then what will you do?"
Tuoba Xuan looked at Cui Yulu with a worried expression. He really didn't mean it. When he was looking for Cui Yulu and Fu Xiaoyu, he met Xu Wanqing who was also looking for them. In addition, she had done a lot of work for him before, so he had a good impression of Xu Wanqing. So after finding the two of them, Tuoba Xuan tried to contact Xu Wanqing. He finally got in touch with her yesterday, and today she came to look for them.
Tuoba Xuan took pity on her and brought her over, but he never expected that Xu Wanqing would fall in love with Fu Xiaoyu.
"What do you mean, what should I do? I'm doing just fine. I have so many good friends here, and I'm not lonely at all. I'm doing great."
Cui Yulu then realized that she had never been firmly chosen. This was the case with Han Yu'an before, and Fu Xiaoyu had too many women around him. Whether she had a place in his heart was still a mystery.
She suddenly felt dizzy and unsteady on her feet, so Tuoba Xuan quickly stepped forward to support her.
"Girl, what's wrong?"
Tuoba Xuan was a typical straight man, and had no idea that Cui Yulu was feeling sad.
She was thinking of going in to comfort Fu Xiaoyu, but was stopped by Du Sanniang who had rushed over.
"You men are all the same, none of you are any good. Yulu, come back with me, you stay here."
"What are you saying? What does this have to do with me? I didn't know about this, that's why I made a mistake. If you go back, I'll go back with you."
No matter how powerful Tuoba Xuan was, he was no match for Du Sanniang. Du Sanniang ignored him and carried Cui Yulu forward, trying to shake off this tagalong. However, Tuoba Xuan stuck to her and she couldn't get rid of him at all.
"Third Sister, please put me down. I'm not so weak that I can't walk. I'm just a little anxious. I'll be fine after resting for a while."
"Come rest at my place. I'll cook you something delicious. Forget about Fu Xiaoyu, let him go hungry."
Little did they know that Fu Xiaoyu's secret guards had also found their way here through Xu Wanqing's movements, and the peaceful life of Ghost Cave Village was destined to be shattered.
