Shen Yuerong's eyes were still clear, but there was no longer the love that could make Fu Hengyu feel burning. Instead, there was a sense of distance and coldness, as if she and he were strangers after all.
Suppressing the last glimmer of hope rising in her heart, Shen Yuerong's expression remained calm, but the color in her eyes deepened, making her more determined to divorce.
"Fireworks are easy to fade, time is hard to win, only love is light in the world..." She murmured, even the fireworks in the sky and the lights on the earth could not ease her heartache at the moment.
Fu Hengyu frowned. In the past, Shen Yuerong liked to hold a book and recite some sour poems when she had nothing to do. He didn't understand and pretended to agree with her, but lost interest after a while.
Du Wan was straightforward and casual, and would never say anything to spoil his fun. "Rong'er, what do you mean?"
In the past, Shen Yuerong would have explained it to him word by word, but at this moment, before she could say anything, another voice rang out.
"Why do you say that, Madam General? Is love more precious than human life?" Chi Mu lazily stood beside the two men.
When Fu Hengyu saw him, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Shen Yuerong was about to agree, but Chi Mu raised his eyebrows: "My royal brother once praised the Shen family's miraculous doctor for caring about the world and saving people. Special film Shen family practitioners do not have to kneel to anyone except my royal brother. Madam Shen, don't you still hold a third-rank official position?"
The two were stunned for a moment. They had forgotten that Shen Yuerong was never an ordinary woman living in a deep house, but a female doctor who had actually been on the battlefield and saved countless soldiers from danger!
A handsome face appeared in front of Shen Yuerong. Compared with Fu Hengyu, Chi Mu was so graceful and cheerful.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I haven't been a doctor for a long time. I usually just take care of my mother at home. I really feel ashamed of your kindness. I don't know why Your Highness is in such a good mood today and even climbed up the city wall."
Shen Yuerong couldn't help but lower her eyebrows when she said this. Fu Hengyu, who was still bowing, felt that his waist was about to break. He kept winking at her, hoping that she would remind Chi Mu to get up quickly.
"Here, the view is good." He had just dealt with the locust plague and heard Shen Yuerong's voice as soon as he entered the city gate. After asking, he learned that Fu Hengyu brought his wife to the city gate to watch the fireworks, and his legs walked up unconsciously.
"General Fu seems to have brought back a lot of things with him. I hope General Fu will not put the cart before the horse and cause unnecessary trouble."
The story of Fu Hengyu and the skinny horse was widely spread in the capital, and anyone who heard about it couldn't help but laugh at it. Everyone felt sorry for Shen Yuerong, who had been a widow in the mansion for three years, and felt it was not worth it for her.
Fu Hengyu thought Chi Mu was talking about the confiscated items, and quickly responded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have sent people to count them in the past few days, and they will be submitted to the Ministry of War for inventory in a few days."
As stupid as a pig.
Chi Mu then waved his hand, signaling Fu Hengyu to stand up.
"If Madam Shen needs any help, no matter what the situation, I will help you for the sake of the genius doctor." He deliberately emphasized the four words "no matter what the situation", implying that he and Shen Yuerong had a tacit understanding.
Shen Yuerong knew his intention very well, and she wished she could speak up right now and let Chi Mu take Fu Hengyu and Du Wan away and cut them into pieces!
But the matter between husband and wife is not so easy to figure out. She raised her face and showed her first smile of the night: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take care of it. It's windy at night and I just recovered from a cold. I won't bother Your Majesty to enjoy the scenery today."
"Husband, let's go back!"
Fu Hengyu pushed Shen Yuerong's wheelchair, and behind her, he revealed a sinister and terrifying look.
He originally thought that Shen Yuerong was no longer of any use, but today he was enlightened. The royal family still attached great importance to the Shen family...
Looking at their departing backs, on the city wall, Chi Mu's mind flashed with the girl's bright and lively smile.
Only when the two people disappeared from view did Chi Mu return to his residence with a tired look on his face.
…
The next morning, Madam Fu notified everyone in the mansion to have breakfast together. Du Wan did not attend, using the excuse that the living environment was not good and she was not feeling well.
The renovation work in the mansion is also progressing, but it is not even close to Shen Yuerong's layout and arrangement.
"Last night, you two went to the city gate to watch the fireworks without telling us, causing Madam Sun to think something had happened and she hurried to report to me." A shrewd look flashed in Madam Fu's eyes.
Her son was indeed amazing, he easily controlled the stupid woman Shen Yuerong.
Madam Fu scooped a spoonful of raisins and pine nuts onto Shen Yuerong's porridge and comforted her, "As long as the two of you have a good relationship, I will be at ease. A harmonious family brings prosperity, and this is the demeanor of a mistress."
Shen Yuerong didn't say much, just thanked her and swallowed the porridge.
Madam Fu and Fu Hengyu looked at each other, and as if she had made up her mind, Madam Fu said quietly, "Rong'er, Yu'er told me everything about last night. He feels sorry for you."
Seeing that Shen Yuerong did not respond, Madam Fu continued: "If you really want a child of your own, I have a way."
"I met a lady a few days ago. Her distant relative had a disaster, and there was only one girl left in the family. I heard that she had red lips and white teeth, and was very cute and pretty."
"How old is that girl?" Shen Yuerong ate contentedly, put down the bowl in her hand, and tried to keep her mentality positive.
"4 years old! I've seen the portrait, the child is good. Since you are so determined, why not adopt her and take care of her in the future."
Isn’t the four-year-old girl their illegitimate child?
Shen Yuerong tightened her handkerchief until her fingertips were almost bleeding.
