Su Xiawei, who was standing aside, secretly glanced at the close confidant she had cultivated, and there was indeed a little sense of pride in her heart that was difficult to conceal.
That night, considering her noble status, the main building with the most pleasant view in the mansion was specially arranged for the Duke's wife to live in, so that she could directly enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sparkling lake.
At the same time, the beautiful courtyard on the next level became Su Xiawei's temporary residence.
According to his long-standing habit, Fu Yu chose a small room not far from his study as his home; as for Wen Zhu, he chose an inconspicuous and relatively secluded courtyard as his resting place.
While no one was paying attention to them, Fu Yu whispered to Wen Zhu beside him: "When night falls, I will quietly come to meet you."
Faced with the sudden and slightly ambiguous invitation, Wen Zhu's cheeks instantly flushed with shyness. She nodded lightly, and then quickly looked around to confirm that no one else noticed the subtle exchange at this moment.
There happened to be no major affairs to deal with during those days, so Fu Yu was able to take time off to accompany his mother and son all day, spending a rare leisure time in the villa.
There is a natural hot spring pool hidden in this quiet and elegant manor. When the weather is good, you can always see people gathering together to enjoy the refreshing feeling after the hot spring water moisturizes their skin.
The lively and cute little baby especially loved this warmth and jumped into the water many times to play and have fun.
Late at night, when everything was quiet, in order to create a more private and warm atmosphere, Fu Yu specifically instructed his servants to hang several layers of transparent and delicate gauze around the hot spring area.
He also asked his attendants to stand and watch from a distance and not to get too close so as not to disturb their world.
Then, he took the shy Wen Zhu into the pool. Their bodies were pressed against each other, so close that even their heartbeats seemed to be heard by each other through the crystal clear hot spring water. The intimacy made the air sweet.
After returning to his residence after this special experience, Wen Zhu quickly fell into a sweet dream and slept extremely soundly.
When the next morning dawned, people found that she had become even more beautiful.
Until the sun had gradually risen to the highest point, Fu Yu picked up his energetic son, Bao Ge'er, and then called Wen Zhu, who had just got up and still had a faint smile on his face but could not hide the joy of last night, to go outside the villa to find a clear stream to play and cool off.
The dense trees blocked out most of the sunlight, leaving only some patches of light and shadow to filter through the gaps between the leaves.
The stream is crystal clear and the water is very clean. It is so shallow that you can see the stones on the riverbed. From time to time, you can see groups of lively little fish swimming happily with the water.
When Bao Ge'er saw this scene, his eyes lit up and he immediately clapped his hands. His face flushed with excitement and he kept shouting, "I want to go down and play in the water too!"
He almost used up all his strength to express his wish.
Fu Yu gently placed Baoger into the water and carefully bent down to support the child, fearing that he would be hurt accidentally.
At first, Xiaobao felt the water was chilly and shivered, but he soon got used to it and seemed to be completely immersed in this rare pleasure.
Curiosity and joy sparkled in its round eyes. It looked here and there, its hands and feet kicking in the cool water, looking extremely happy.
Wen Zhu and Su Yue decided to go upstream of the stream. They picked a few stones of suitable shapes to form a small pond and placed the fresh fruits and vegetables they had prepared in advance in it.
Take advantage of the natural cooling effect of running water to prepare for the wonderful time to come.
They had a tacit understanding and worked closely together, and soon everything was in order.
Fu Yu found a big rock to sit on so that he could observe Baoger's every move more conveniently.
He lifted the child's arms and used just the right amount of strength to support him, allowing Bao Ge'er to play more freely without any sense of danger.
At this moment, the little boy was extremely happy, and words came out of his mouth like beads that had broken off the string. Although those babbling sounds had no special meaning to adults, they were full of childish innocence.
Then, Wen Zhu handed Baoger a light little fishing net.
After getting this new toy, Bao Ge'er was so happy that he couldn't wait to start his new game - that is to catch those nimble little creatures in the water.
Whenever a fish was successfully caught, he would gently pick it up with his chubby fingers and put it into a wooden barrel specially used to hold trophies. Then he would turn around with a smug expression on his face and report his results to his father who was sitting aside watching everything quietly.
"Look! Another one~" Every time after saying this, Fu Yu would always smile and encourage, "Wow, you did a great job!"
Such praise is undoubtedly the greatest support and affirmation for the little guy.
After receiving his father's praise, Baoger seemed to work harder than before. Not only did he keep fiddling with the fishing tools with his hands, he also occasionally tried to splash waves with his bare feet.
Although my body was already soaked, the joy did not seem to diminish at all.
About two hours passed like this (equivalent to about two hours now), and Wen Zhu suddenly remembered that it might be time for dinner, so she said to Su Yue, "Let's go back and see what's going on." So the two of them went back the way they came.
Just as they were about to arrive at the villa, Wen Zhu accidentally discovered that there was a valley not far ahead where two figures were vaguely visible walking slowly upwards. When she walked closer and took a closer look, she found that they were the eldest daughter of the Li family, a famous lady from the city, and her personal maid.
The former was wiping the sweat from his cheeks with a handkerchief in his hand, while at the same time directing his men on how to choose their route.
So why did this lady come here?
Questions instantly filled everyone's mind.
Just then, Wen Zhu heard the young lady say, "There's a place called Jishui Temple on this mountain, right?"
The girl next to her nodded and responded, "That's right, Miss. It's right here. The Jishui Temple you mentioned is on this mountain."
"Why hasn't she arrived yet? I'm so anxious! I want to see with my own eyes who Su Yunrong is meeting here. Could it be another shameless woman?"
The lady's voice was filled with obvious anger and dissatisfaction, and it was obvious that she was a little worried about the outcome of this trip.
"Don't be impatient, miss. Once we see it with our own eyes, we'll know the truth. Stay calm and everything will become clear."
