Shen Yuerong looked at him with some worry, "But in the past... the prince was not so cruel. I heard people say that the prince acted..."
Could it be that what is out there is just rumors?
He didn't know how to explain to the silly woman in front of him what kind of person the prince was.
But no explanation is needed.
"The prince has done so many evil things over the years to numb your majesty's eyes. I don't know how many people have done it. It is naturally not easy to control."
The prince is more powerful than any of them imagined.
"I will meet him sooner or later. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later. On the contrary, if you stand beside me, I'm afraid you will be in danger."
Shen Yuerong was not afraid.
"When I decided to stay with you for the rest of my life, I had already made preparations for life and death. I will accompany you back to the capital, and no matter what happens, I will be there for you to face it together."
Three days later.
Everything was ready, Chi Mu and Shen Yuerong were planning to leave, but at the city gate, they were surrounded by the people they had rescued.
"If it weren't for your help, we wouldn't know where we would have died. Please accept our gratitude."
But what they have in their hands is too simple. Perhaps these are the food that can save their lives.
There was no way they could take the food for themselves no matter what.
"Everyone, I know you are thanking me and him for saving your lives, but... we are going to have a long journey, and we will be protected by officials along the way, so we will not be short of food and clothing. You should take all these back and live a good life."
Shen Yuerong was the first to speak, but it was hard to refuse their kindness. In the end, Shen Yuerong had no choice but to lend them something of little value.
"You have prepared so many things for us. Although I want to take them all away, this is not something that can be achieved. So please don't make it difficult for me. I will just take a few things. It's good for my cousin."
Under Shen Yuerong's persuasion, everyone finally compromised.
Go back along the same route you came.
Some of the villages that had been saved were now submerged by the flood, and those people who seemed to be alive in front of them died just like that.
Although she was a little sad, she soon calmed down.
When I passed by the village where Brother Wei and his friends lived, I found that half of the village was almost submerged in the flood. Only a few houses were not affected because they were located on higher ground.
Shen Yuerong thought of that optimistic man and still wanted to look for some clues in this old place.
She waded through the water and walked into the most familiar courtyard.
Chi Mu did not stop him. Some people have obsessions in their hearts, and their life will not be easy.
In that small house, Shen Yuerong could feel the happiness and joy of the whole family after they left.
Although he lost his legs, he is still positive and nothing can affect him.
She reached out her hand, touched the wall, and tears fell.
If I had been firm enough to ask them to take me away regardless of what they said, perhaps I wouldn't be feeling this grief now.
Where did this family go?
It was not until a long time later that she found a piece of torn cloth in the destroyed house.
"I don't know if Sister Yuerong will come back, but... I still want to leave a letter for her. It has been raining these past few days, and the protection that Daddy and the others had put in place can no longer hold up. Many people in the village have also left, and Daddy has decided to take our family forward. Daddy's legs are already in good condition, and he has shown a tendency to stand up, so... we have to go. And sister, as for the orphan girl you asked me to take care of, our family will take her with us."
So they finally left?
Shen Yuerong ran out, looking at him eagerly.
"They left me a letter saying they had moved to another place when the village was flooded. Do you think they are living happily somewhere else now? I shouldn't be so worried about him."
Chi Mu stretched out his hand and held Shen Yuerong in his arms.
"Good people will be rewarded. He has done so many good things for my brother before. No matter what, the heaven will not take him seriously like this. So I think... this is the opportunity God has given him."
Shen Yuerong nodded vigorously, thinking that they must be living somewhere else at the moment, a happy family.
They headed north again and finally entered the capital.
Fu Hengyu and Du Wan had already been escorted to the capital by someone, but they had never expected to meet the prince at the city gate.
The prince's gaze fell on the two of them, inexplicably carrying a sense of aggression.
"I didn't expect that you two would not only escape death, but...eventually turn a disaster into a blessing. Now that the culprit has been caught, you will definitely receive a reward from His Majesty."
"Your Highness, you are joking. We are just doing our part. We are not here for those awards."
"I am talking to the prince, so how can a reckless village woman like you have the right to speak? Do you believe that I will take your life?"
Shen Yuerong shrank her neck, but saw the man riding his horse blocking the two of them.
"When you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner first. You are so mean to me, do you think I am serious? I think His Royal Highness... is a little too arrogant. I wonder if His Royal Highness will still be so high-spirited if the general's case has a result."
The prince clenched his fists, never expecting that he would find out that Fu Hengyu was his.
"General Fu, there is no connection between him and me. I have only met him a few times when we were in the frontier, but I can't say that we are familiar with each other."
"You can deny that you know the general, but the concubine in his mansion was once sent to his bed in your name. This matter was also Du Wan's work from the beginning. There is no doubt that all this was done by the prince. You said that if His Majesty knew about this, even if these were just done by the subordinates behind the back of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it would still be..."
He didn't say anything definite. After all, this was the capital city, and both the Crown Prince and His Majesty didn't want this matter to affect the royal family in any way.
It’s just a pity for the General’s Mansion.
Chi Muxian sent Shen Yuerong back to the Shen family and explained to her in a very heavy tone.
"Don't be distracted and go out if you have nothing to do recently. The General's Mansion has suffered such a great ordeal. I'm not sure if those people from the General's Mansion will come to the door. I will ask the doorman to check more. Anyway, you should stay in the mansion honestly and don't run around."
Shen Yuerong nodded obediently.
"I'll listen to you and stay here obediently. I won't go anywhere."
