Lu Wujiu felt that the woman in front of him was indeed strange. It was a very simple light-body skill, and the two children had made great progress, but how come the adult had not made any progress at all?

"Are you secretly criticizing me?" Su Jiaoniang stared at Lu Wujiu, trying to find some clues on his face.

However, apart from the darkening of his eyes, there was not a trace of anything else to be seen.

this?

She wanted to secretly peel back the mask before the man left, Su Jiaoniang thought to herself.

"Are you giving up?" Lu Wujiu asked.

Su Jiaoniang nodded. The lack of progress over the long period proved that she really had no talent in this area. This world is not a world of cultivation, so if she persisted, there might be a miracle.

Life is short, only a few decades. She should make the most of her life instead of persisting in things that are impossible.

Even without her lightness skill, she still has the boxing techniques and fighting skills she learned in her previous life, so ordinary people can't do anything to her.

"You still want me to persist?"

"No!" Lu Wujiu shook his head.

He simply felt that the moonlight was beautiful, time was fleeting, and life was short.

“Chang Sheng has made great progress recently,” he said.

Su Jiaoniang nodded. Ever since paying taxes last time, Changsheng has been like someone with a life goal. He works hard on his own without being urged by others!

No longer complaining about being tired or finding studying boring.

It's only after witnessing the lives of those at the bottom of society that one truly understands how one should behave in any position.

"Assisting a child in governing a country must be exhausting," Su Jiaoniang suddenly asked, looking at Lu Wujiu.

Lu Wujiu smiled and said, "I'm used to it."

The deceased emperor was incompetent in governing the country; otherwise, how could the young emperor have fallen to such a state so soon after his death? He was ambushed, exiled to a foreign land, and nearly died.

No safety measures were prepared at all.

The little girl, who woke up in the middle of the night to pee, saw two women standing in the yard: "Mom, why aren't you asleep yet!"

"I'm going to rest now." Su Jiaoniang walked towards the bedroom.

Lu Wujiu was left alone in the courtyard once again.

Lu Wujiu turned his head, his gaze falling on the small window, meeting the prying eyes of Xiao Futu.

He had many doubts about this child who looked so much like himself. This child was always worried that he would hurt women, wanted to arrange other men for women, and even dared to randomly grab someone off the street and call him "Dad".

In a child's mind, is he really that unreliable?

Is it less reliable than a complete stranger you've never met?

Do children seem to have a different way of judging people? And once they've made up their minds, it's very difficult to change them?

A child shouldn't be like this!

He had seen geniuses and knew what a genius or a born prodigy should be like.

That's definitely not what the little guy looks like now.

Push open the door to the Buddha room.

"Shall we chat?"

"Hmph!" Fu Tu turned his back and didn't say a word.

Lu Wujiu stared at the child's face and recalled his own childhood, but there seemed to be nothing worth remembering.

Lu Wujiu's eyes held a patience that no one else could match.

I stood quietly in place.

Children's bodies are not as resilient to staying up all night as adults'.

Futu was about to collapse, but he harbored an extraordinary curiosity. Seeing that Lu Wujiu remained silent, he couldn't help but speak up.

The two talked for a long time in the darkness.

When Lu Wujiu walked out of Xiao Futu's room, Futu's face turned ashen.

Little Buddha lay on the bed, extremely sleepy, but his mind was full of thoughts. He felt that everything was beyond his expectations, and the world was becoming strange and unpredictable.

Mr. Gu said his biological father was not dead.

I have no choice in the matter at the moment, but I will return when the time is right.

A dignified regent should disdain lying, but if his father is truly not dead, he not only cannot allow his mother to remarry, but he also has to keep away the philandering suitors around her.

Otherwise, his biological father would become fatherless. Futu tossed and turned in bed, bearing a burden that was not something a child his age should have.

Early the next morning.

Su Jiaoniang delivered the boiled donkey-hide gelatin to Gu Lin's house.

With Gu Lin absent, Su Jiaoniang saw the frail and delicate Gu Li.

Gu Li took a bite of the donkey-hide gelatin cake and found it to be sweet.

With a smile, she handed the money Gu Lin had given her before leaving to Su Jiaoniang: "This is for the donkey-hide gelatin. My brother wouldn't let me keep it. He's really meticulous. He's so good to you."

Her soft, weak voice should have made people feel sorry for her and want to protect her.

But something just didn't feel right to Su Jiaoniang.

"Gu Lin is very kind to the villagers. I've delivered the donkey-hide gelatin cake, so I'll be leaving now," Su Jiaoniang said, turning around.

Unexpectedly, Gu Li grabbed his sleeve.

Gu Li said, "The persimmons on the mountain are quite red, and I want to go see them, but my brother won't let me. Will you come with me?"

"No!" Su Jiaoniang decisively rejected Gu Li's invitation.

Bringing a frail little girl up the mountain—did she think her life was too easy, or was she just overly kind-hearted?

"Do you also think I'm physically weak and a burden?" Gu Li asked softly, tears welling in her eyes. It seemed that if Su Jiaoniang uttered a single affirmative word, her tears would fall.

Su Jiaoniang's lips twitched.

Gu Lin, such a forthright and generous man, how come he has such a strange younger sister?

"Don't you know how weak you are? You're such a grown man, yet you're not as sensible as my little girl. Even she knows not to bother others unnecessarily, but you just spout nonsense." After saying this, Su Jiaoniang turned and left under Gu Li's shocked gaze.
