Chapter 18 Unbearable



The woman in front of him had a slender figure and lively eyes. She didn't look like a dull person at all.

After a moment, Fu Yu asked again, "Is the young lady usually not nice to you?"

Wen Zhu's expression suddenly became serious, and then he sighed: "No...

It's not that I can't, but the Young Madam is still the Young Madam, and I'm just a servant. How dare I talk about my master behind his back?"

Although it seems that nothing is said on the surface, it actually reveals a lot of meaning.

Fu Yu pursed his lips and said nothing.

It was Wen Zhu who spoke first: "Madam is very worried about the prince today."

The corners of Fu Yu's mouth curled up slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Wen Chan cared about the prince, not Fu Yu.

Fu Yu turned his gaze to the little maid in front of him, with a questioning look in his eyes: "What about you?"

This question came too suddenly. The little maid was a little confused. She looked up at him involuntarily, "What do you mean, my lord?"

Fu Yu pursed his lips again. "Young Madam, you think the people in the Hanlin Academy are all those who pursue fame and fortune. Once they enter the officialdom, it's impossible for them to completely maintain their original intentions. What do you think?"

"This... I don't quite understand this kind of thing..."

Wen Zhu lowered his head, twisting the corner of his clothes nervously as he answered.

"It's okay if you don't understand. Just talk about it and I'll just listen." Fu Yu seemed particularly stubborn.

Wen Zhu was helpless. After thinking for a while, she said, "I believe that where there are people, there will be all kinds of complicated intrigues, but not everyone is like that. I remember my father mentioned Hengqu to me before..."

Hearing her say this, Fu Yu's eyes lit up.

But Wen Zhu seemed stumped at this moment, twisting her clothes so hard her fingers were practically turning white. "It seems to be... something like 'establishing a destiny for heaven and earth'? I can't remember the specifics, but my father said that many people start out as officials with good intentions. Some may change their minds later, but there are definitely those who persevere to the end."

After hearing this, Fu Yu couldn't help laughing.

Wen Zhu looked at him with big eyes and said, "This servant has little knowledge, and what I said was vulgar and rude. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"fine."

Hearing these words and looking at the moist eyes of the little girl in front of him, Fu Yu finally showed a sincere smile on his face.

As soon as she got home, her father called her over to give her a lecture, and she felt heavy-hearted. But now, after just chatting with the little maid for a few words, that feeling of depression disappeared, replaced by a rare sense of relaxation.

Thinking of the handkerchief, he was about to return it to its rightful owner when he suddenly heard a voice calling out, "Prince!"

It was Qiuyue's voice.

Wen Zhu hurriedly hid behind the bushes and looked at Fu Yu with an almost pleading look.

Fu Yu was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what was going on.

If Wen Chan knew that a little maid dared to communicate with him in private, she would probably show no mercy to her.

Therefore, Fu Yu acted as if nothing had happened and walked towards Qiuyue, "Is there something urgent?"

"The young lady was very worried because you haven't returned yet, so she asked me to come and check on the situation."

Qiuyue explained.

Fu Yu nodded and continued walking forward.

After a few steps, Qiuyue turned around and looked at the place where she had just been.

She vaguely saw that there should be two figures standing there before - and one of them was a woman, right?

When she came to her senses, Fu Yu had already walked away. Qiuyue didn't have time to think about it and quickened her pace to catch up with him.

Back at Liuyun Garden, Wen Chan came out to greet them with a smile, "You're finally back. I've arranged the dinner table. Let's go over and eat."

As she spoke, she wanted to go forward and hold Fu Yu's arm.

But Fu Yu cleverly dodged to the side, leaving her empty-handed.

Wen Chan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Fu Yu. She saw that his movements were natural, as if he just didn't notice her actions and happened to miss it.

She suppressed her unhappiness and said softly, "My husband has been busy all day. Would you like to take a shower early? I'll help you get some rest."

The secret recipe has been obtained, and Wen Zhu must use it as soon as possible.

"No, I still have some things to deal with. I'll go to the study tonight."

When he first entered the Hanlin Academy, there was so much to learn, and he wanted to finish his lessons quickly so that he could start working in the six ministries as soon as possible.

Hearing this cold voice, Wen Chan gritted her teeth.

What's so busy about just entering the Hanlin Academy? Obviously he doesn't want to sleep with her!

Her eyes were red and her voice was filled with tears: "I don't know where I offended my husband, so I have to correct it. But before I got married, my mother asked me to help the Marquis's family have a child as soon as possible, so..."

Wen Chan covered her face with a handkerchief, sobbing continuously.

She didn't see that Fu Yu's expression remained the same, not moving at all. Those tears were so fake.

Despite this, facing Fu Yu who remained silent, Wen Chan began to panic.

At this time, a well-dressed, slightly older woman came over and said, "Prince, Madam."

This is Liu's confidante - Aunt Zhang.

Glancing at Wen Chan, whose face flushed red, and then at Fu Yu, whose face was as cold as ice, Nanny Zhang said calmly, "The old lady said that even though the prince has entered the Hanlin Academy, he should not neglect his family. Remember the principle of governing the country after managing the family."

Hearing this, Wen Chan was secretly happy.

I didn't expect that Liu, who usually doesn't care about things, would support me at the critical moment.

Fu Yu suppressed his inner impatience and said "hmm" to indicate his agreement.

After completing the task, Aunt Zhang left.

"Husband..." Wen Chan tried to speak.

"Since that's what mother wants, I'll stay here tonight." His tone remained calm.

This answer made Wen Chan smile.

When no one was paying attention, Qiuyue quietly retreated and walked straight to the back room.

At this time, Wen Zhu was eating dinner and Hong Yu was waiting beside him.

There was a knock on the door, and Hongyu immediately stood up and went out to greet him. After talking for a while outside, she came back and said, "Madam, please come over later."

After hearing this, Wen Zhu nodded and got up to take a shower.

Hongyu took over most of the remaining food and enjoyed it with relish.

Soon night fell, the door behind the ear room was opened, and Wen Zhu walked in.

Seeing her always humble appearance, Wen Chan didn't even have the interest to scold her. She just waved her hand and let her in.

As usual, Wen Zhu sat down beside the bed and waited quietly for Fu Yu to appear.

On the other side, Fu Yu in the locker room suddenly heard something fall to the ground.

Looking down, I saw it was a handkerchief.

The thick towel covered a corner of the white and delicate handkerchief, revealing only a little bit of the pitiful look.

When he bent down to pick it up, a complicated look appeared in his eyes.

The scent of its owner is so faint on this handkerchief that it is almost imperceptible. I wonder when I can return it to its owner.

He put the handkerchief back where it belonged and turned back to take a shower.

After taking a shower, I returned to the bedroom with a wet smell.
