A small interlude: except for a few fifth-rank officials around him, no one in the movie noticed the scenery here. Instead, there was a good show going on around the emperor.
He just wanted to take Shen Yuerong out to relax and introduce his beloved to his family.
But no one expected that even though the prince was restrained by the queen, his words were still sarcastic, which made people feel uncomfortable.
His eyes were always on Shen Yuerong, and he was paying attention to her emotions all the time.
But...she never showed any impatience, instead she shared some of her favorite food with herself.
Shen Yuerong had also been paying attention to his emotions. After what happened in the General's Mansion, Shen Yuerong had already determined that the person standing behind him was the prince.
The prince's targeting at this moment did not seem groundless, but rather seemed to have been prepared in advance.
"Chi Mu."
Shen Yuerong once again shared her favorite things with him, and then whispered in his ear, "Let's go out for a walk, it's a bit stuffy in here."
A number of stoves were specially placed in the palace. In order to prevent Shen Yuerong from getting sick, Chi Mu ordered two more stoves to be placed nearby to keep her warm. At this moment, the alcohol in her body was causing some warmth, and the room felt a little depressing.
He nodded slightly, gave some instructions to Fang Mu, and the two of them slowly left the table.
Chi Mu brought Shen Yuerong to the Imperial Garden. Although it was winter now and it had snowed, the light under the cover of night was not as glaring as it was during the day.
Walking on the snow has a different flavor.
Shen Yuerong stretched out her hand and quietly dug a small piece of snow from the ground. When Chi Mu was not paying attention, she quietly hit him on the chest.
He looked helplessly at the stain on his clothes, then looked at the smug look on the woman's face after the successful sneak attack, and said helplessly, "I have to go back later and change my clothes after they got wet."
He reached out and took the woman's hand, speaking gently, "Besides, this snow just fell recently, so it's the coldest. If you want to play, I'll accompany you when we get back home later."
Shen Yuerong looked at him and finally nodded helplessly.
"All right."
As the two of them walked on the path, he kept holding her in his arms, fearing that she would be hit by any slight chill.
Some people don't show up when they should, and become a nuisance when they shouldn't.
Looking at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her, Shen Yuerong clearly felt the figure behind her stiffen for a moment.
She reached out and took the man's hand.
"General."
Fu Hengyu was drunk and felt exhausted after the quarrel with Du Wan, so he wanted to come to the Imperial Garden to sober up, but he didn't expect to disturb the two of them in his hurry.
The pair of tightly clasped hands made him feel envious and even a little jealous.
Although he had made up his mind not to pay attention to anything about Shen Yuerong during this period, he was able to hear from his colleagues about how Shen Yuerong's career was developing now, and it was even... better than when she was with him before.
Now that I see it with my own eyes, it is even more difficult to accept.
He stood there, lost in thought for a moment.
Shen Yuerong didn't wait for his response and planned to pass by him, but at this moment, the man suddenly reached out and grabbed her sleeve.
"What is the relationship between you and him now?"
Although Shen Yuerong took the initiative to say hello, it was just out of politeness. But now seeing that he didn't care about his innocence and was pestering her again, she quickly took two steps back.
"what you do?"
Chi Mu also looked like he was resisting.
"You and I haven't even finished yet... and you're already entangled with another man. Isn't this a slap in the face of my general's mansion?"
"You think I'm sorry for you, that's ridiculous. It's you who won't let go, what does it have to do with me? Do I deserve to be tied to your general's mansion for the rest of my life just because you don't want to?"
I have been wronged for three years, so I naturally won’t be wronged for another three years.
He insisted on holding on to these paper objects and refused to give up.
It was precisely because of this that Du Wan had never obtained the position of mistress of the general's mansion that she had always dreamed of.
"I don't."
His somewhat stubborn gaze fell on her.
"You made me what I am now, making me be cursed by the world and insulted by my friends. Why can you live such a carefree life now, while I am like a rat crossing the street, being beaten and scolded by everyone?"
Ever since the divorce, people outside knew everything about the relationship between him and Shen Yuerong, and they also came to understand that the love they had before was nothing but empty.
The friends he used to be close to and the families he had connections with in the capital have become increasingly distant, and some even no longer have any contact with him.
"You know I worked so hard to find connections that I could be promoted to the fourth rank by the end of this year, but because of you making such a fuss, I have completely lost this honor."
He had spent money to build up his network early on, and even used a lot of his own schemes to help others, just to get promoted to a higher position.
But at this moment, he could only watch others take his place, and even this fifth-grade position was in jeopardy.
"I thought that after so much time had passed, you would finally understand some things. Now it seems to me that you are nothing but a complete fool."
Shen Yuerong let go of Chi Mu's hand and walked in front of him. "How do you think you are a fifth-rank official? It was because I begged for mercy everywhere and used many tricks and begged people that I was able to let you sit in this position. You are no longer worthy of your position now, and you still want to... sit in a fourth-rank position?"
Shen Yuerong always felt that Fu Hengyu's fifth-rank position came too suddenly, so sometimes she would think about it carefully.
Until Yong'an's words last time reminded her.
"It's even possible that you are in your current position because of the person in front of you."
Shen Yuerong remembered that when she met him by chance, she casually mentioned that Chi Mu was also responsible for being able to defeat so many people and completely take down this fifth-rank official in the future.
"You said...Is it his doing that I am able to be where I am today?"
He looked at the man in front of him in disbelief, and felt that... this shouldn't happen.
Chi Mu nodded mercilessly.
"When I heard her say that she wanted you to become a fifth-rank official, I helped her. I thought she would be very happy to help you, and I was satisfied."
It's all just love for the person and love for the dog.
Shen Yuerong looked at him in surprise. If it was just speculation before, then it was the truth now.
"Is it really you?"
Shen Yuerong's surprised voice directly overwhelmed Fu Hengyu's doubts.
"It's me. Otherwise, how do you think he could have sat in this position with his mediocre qualifications?"
