Shen Yuerong really felt it was a bit strange.
But no matter whether it was in this life or the previous life, Shen Yuerong always felt that she and this prince were just friends who had met a few times. Why did he always act as if they had an old relationship?
Chi Mu probably felt that it was a bit abrupt to say this suddenly at this time, so he took two steps back.
"Forget it. Since you don't want to remember it, I won't mention it. But you have done so much for the General's Mansion, and you should know how they treated you."
"Since it is your own decision, you have to bear the consequences no matter what happens next. ”
His expression suddenly became much more serious. He had changed into a black gown at some point, and it now looked a bit oppressive.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know what to do."
This sentence suddenly distanced the two people further. Chi Mu frowned and was about to speak again when he heard someone say, "The general is here."
Shen Yuerong turned around and saw Fu Hengyu and Fu Hengyue who had arrived late.
Fu Hengyue's clothes were a little messy, and she looked as if she had just been frightened.
Fu Hengyu, on the other hand, held his sister in his arms and comforted her softly.
Fu Hengyu looked up and happened to meet Shen Yuerong's eyes. Then he saw Chi Mu beside him and his anger suddenly rose.
"Rong'er, how could you leave your sister alone in a strange house? What if she gets lost or in danger?"
Fu Hengyu subconsciously began to blame, as if it was all her fault that Fu Hengyue became like this.
Shen Yuerong sneered.
"My husband, that's really interesting. She has legs and I'm in a wheelchair. You want me to look after her?"
"Several maids were here for what happened just now. You can ask them if it was me who didn't want to take Fu Hengyue with me, or if she didn't want to stay and enjoy the flowers and wanted to go find the prince?"
"you……"
Fu Hengyu wanted to get angry, but after seeing Chi Mu's eyes, he endured it.
He lowered his voice.
"Even so, you shouldn't leave her alone. What if something happens..."
Before Fu Hengyu finished speaking, Shen Yuerong had already walked in front of the dirty Fu Hengyue.
"Third sister, where have you been? Why are you covered in dust? Did you break into some place in the palace that you shouldn't go to?"
Fu Hengyue was so angry that her teeth were itching, but because Chi Mu was here, she could only tug at Fu Hengyu's sleeve pitifully.
"Brother, don't blame my sister-in-law. She was right. I was determined to find you two, so I separated from her and her family. But the roads in the palace all looked the same to me, and I had no idea which way to go. I was a little panicked and took the wrong turn. Don't blame my sister-in-law."
She didn't just take the wrong road, she met a scoundrel and suffered a loss.
However, she couldn't make this matter public, as it would be bad for her daughter's reputation.
Especially, Chi Mu was her lover, and she couldn't let anyone know, so she had no choice but to suffer this loss.
"Since my sister is begging for you, I will reluctantly forgive you."
"But you have to remember that you are her sister-in-law, you..."
"cough."
Chi Mu spoke appropriately and interrupted Fu Hengyu.
"Since nothing happened to the general's sister, let's go back to the hall together!"
Fu Hengyu looked at Chi Mu's face which had dimmed a lot, and didn't dare to say anything. He just looked to the side with a pleading look.
"I wonder if there are any replacement clothes in the palace. My sister is in this state now... I'm afraid she can't go out to see people easily. Please help her change into clean clothes."
Qin Xuan looked at Chi Mu, and seeing that she did not refute, she said, "Miss, come with me. There is a small room behind the garden where you can do some simple cleaning."
Fu Hengyue was a little upset and didn't want to leave, but she left after being comforted by Fu Hengyu.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Fu Hengyu was afraid that Chi Mu would lose his good impression of Fu Hengyue because of this incident, so he had to bow quickly to explain.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Your Highness. My sister is not usually so spoiled. She may just be in a bad mood today. Please don't blame me, Your Highness."
Chi Mu disagreed and asked as he walked forward, "I heard that she was your mother's last child. She was spoiled since she was a child and has no rules or manners."
Fu Hengyu's heart was filled with alarm.
"Mother used to... dote on him a little, but a few days ago, she invited a etiquette nanny from the capital to teach him. Now he is very sensible and not like before."
Fu Hengyu could naturally hear the disgust in his words, so he quickly explained, hoping to gain some benefits from him for his sister.
But his heart is entirely on Shen Yuerong, so how could he possibly set his eyes on someone else?
The reason why he asked about Fu Hengyue was that when he was at the border, he heard that the entire general's mansion treated her badly, especially the two children stranded in the capital. They really treated him, their sister-in-law, like a servant and ordered her around at will. They also... felt that she was just an orphan with no one to rely on.
Chi Mu changed the subject and brought the topic to Shen Yuerong.
"Although I just returned to the capital, I have heard a lot of rumors from outside. It is said that the General's Mansion can be what it is today because of the loyalty of the General's wife, and she even used her own dowry as the foundation to make the General's Mansion so prosperous."
Fu Hengyu's face was frozen from smiling, and he could only continue to flatter.
"Yes, I have been fighting outside for many years, and my wife has been taking care of the old and young at home."
"oh?"
Chi Mu stopped and looked at him with raised eyebrows.
