The other few people shook their heads, but one person started gossiping.
"I'm telling you, I heard that Fu Hengyu, the man just now, had a beautiful wife whom he married for three years, but she left after the wedding and never had a wedding night. Although he came back later, the woman struggled for a long time to divorce him, and then somehow she got together with the prince?"
"Could it be that woman?"
He nodded.
"This is what one of my nephews in the capital told me. Don't spread it. If someone dies, don't blame me. I'm just a... gossiper."
"Look at what you said. Brothers are all old people who have supported each other over the years. How could you say these things to others for no reason? Tell me if there is anything shameful here."
Several people left with their arms around each other's shoulders.
Three days later.
Chi Mu woke up, and the first thing he did was to ask someone to call Shen Yuerong out of concern. She had just cooked some medicine and brought it over.
"You came looking for me right after you woke up. Why? Are you afraid that I'd run away with someone else?"
He cast a somewhat anxious look on her.
"Those people didn't do anything to you?"
Shen Yuerong shook her head and looked at him strangely.
"I've been here the whole time, what could possibly happen to me? You're usually pretty good at fighting, so how did you get caught? I saw them attacking, and although they didn't have any method, it didn't look like they could beat you."
Even if they couldn't beat him, they couldn't catch him, let alone leave these minor wounds on his body.
He lowered his head, a little embarrassed to speak.
"They won't threaten you with me? Saying that if you dare to resist, they will take my life?"
He nodded. "I feel that since you chose to come with me, I must protect you at all times and never let anything happen to you, so I..."
Chen Yuerong sighed helplessly, "You have arranged so many people around me, and I even have Taohua's protection. Do you think they can really catch me with their dirty tricks? Or do you not believe in Taohua!"
"You know Peach Blossom..."
"Should I pretend I don't know?"
The man was a little overwhelmed. "I was just afraid that something might happen to you, so I placed a..."
"I finally understand now why she has your wooden sign. Why every time I see her and Fang Mu together, they always seem to be a perfect match. It seems like they can easily protect all of us together. Now that I think about it, they must have done things together often in the past!"
Chi Mu nodded, "They are partners. Over the years, they have done a lot of things for me, so naturally... a tacit understanding has formed over time. But when did you know that Taohua is mine?"
"yesterday."
He was stunned.
"You underestimated the care of your subordinates. Taohua usually stays by my side, but she pays attention to your safety, so I can always know your recent situation first. You were injured yesterday. I didn't think it was serious, so I didn't plan to hire a doctor for you. In addition, there were no good doctors in this desolate mountain, so I took the initiative to treat your wound myself."
But at that time Taohua suddenly rushed in.
Shen Yuerong believes in her medical skills, but that doesn't mean others will believe in them.
Taohua was very strong in trying to get her to find a more suitable person for Chi Mu, and then Shen Yuerong felt something was wrong.
Later, when asked, Taohua's identity was naturally explained soon.
"I know what you mean."
Shen Yuerong reached out and held his big hand.
"At that time, everything I did in the General's Mansion was controlled by others. You were worried that I would have no one to complain to if I was wronged. You were also worried that if I was imprisoned and beaten by them, I would not be able to ask you for help, and you... would be kept in the dark. So you wanted to keep someone by my side. You didn't want to know what I was doing all the time, but just wanted to ensure my safety."
Chi Mu nodded, "I left Taohua by your side because I wanted her to... protect your safety. Although I used her and knew a lot about you, I always wanted to protect you from the beginning to the end. It's not really..."
"Well, you can protect me openly from now on."
Shen Yuerong smiled and did not feel that this matter offended her.
…
Happy days are always short. When Chi Mu was able to walk again, he received an uninvited guest.
Seeing her soaking wet, the delicate makeup on her face almost disappeared without a trace, and her expression full of fatigue, Shen Yuerong was also a little surprised.
"Fu Hengyu and the others should be outside, please come in and sit down first."
Shen Yuerong still had someone bring her into the house, and when he saw her, Chi Mu frowned.
"Why is she here?"
Shen Yuerong didn't know either. "Maybe something happened in the capital, or maybe something happened in the general's mansion. It's not important, so naturally there's no need for her, a concubine, to come forward."
She looked dazed, as if she was thinking about something important.
Chen Yuerong asked Qinghua to prepare a pot of hot tea, and then asked very considerately, "What happened? If you want, you can tell me. If I have a way to solve it for you, I will definitely not hide it."
Du Wan shook her head. "I want to see the general. I want to see him. I just told him to let me see him."
"Let someone invite him over."
Shen Yuerong saw that her condition was indeed a little unstable. She was afraid that the matter would get bigger and bigger, so she ordered someone to find Fu Hengyu and ask him to come back early.
Fu Hengyu walked in hurriedly, and when he saw Du Wan, his eyes were filled with undisguised annoyance.
"I just received a letter from my mother a few days ago, saying that you ran away from home alone, and no one knew where you went. I still don't know where you are. But I didn't expect you to come to me. What are you going to do? You are so old, and you still make your mother worry about you."
When she saw Fu Hengyu, she looked as if she had found her support. "Husband, husband, please save me. I beg you to save me. This kind of life is too hard to bear. I don't want to go on like this. I beg you to save me."
Fu Hengyu had no idea what the madman in front of him was talking about, but he didn't dare to get angry in front of the two of them. "I'm sorry to bother you today. I think she may have encountered something on the road and is a little dazed. I'll take her downstairs to have a good rest. When she wakes up, I'll ask her questions carefully."
Shen Yuerong nodded, "Please do as you please."
