Fu Tong'er was frightened and quickly hugged Jiu Ye: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he's old, maybe, he's confused. You can't... you can't... leave me... Have you forgotten, we have a baby~?"
Fu Tong'er said the last sentence with great heartache, because she knew she was not pregnant, and she also knew that Jiu Ye was acting with her. But she wished so much that she was really pregnant with Jiu Ye's child!
"Brother Lu Jin doesn't want to hold Tong'er's cold body, right?"
Hearing this, Jiu Ye once again recalled the night when Fu Tong'er chose to jump into the river and commit suicide due to a misunderstanding...
"Brother Lujin~Tong'er is here to marry you"
He still remembers these words!
"My little girl," Fu Minhuan chuckled, his gray beard trembling slightly, "is the fiancée of Prince Yuan of Chu. This was a marriage that was betrothed to her at birth. Since she has been divorced, she should marry into the Great Chu. In the future, she will become the Queen of Chu. This is her destiny! Nothing else counts."
Fu Tong'er shook her head and held onto Jiu Ye tightly, "Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen! Brother Lu Jin, you won't listen to this crooked nonsense, right...?"
Jiu Ye said, "It's getting late, Tong'er should rest. Please go back first. I will explain it to you tomorrow."
As he spoke, he stood up, bent down, and carried Fu Tong'er horizontally in his arms. He walked towards the bed, put her down, and shouted, "Someone come here!"
Two soldiers came in: "Master Jiu!"
Jiu Ye said calmly, "Send Prime Minister Fu and Commander Fu out."
"Yes! Master Jiu!"
When Fu Lei heard this, he was surprised that Master Jiu was not only not afraid, but also openly drove people away.
"Brother Lu Jin, don't go..."
As soon as Prime Minister Fu Minhuan stood up, he saw Fu Tong'er holding Jiu Ye's hand, as if she couldn't sleep without him.
"You guys sleep together?"
Fu Lei supported the old prime minister and replied: "They sleep together every night, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten pregnant so quickly. My sister has been married to King Hui for half a year, but they haven't consummated the marriage yet. After she got together with this man, she..."
After hearing this, Prime Minister Fu Minhuan stroked his white beard and pointed at Jiu Ye, saying, "You, come out here."
Upon hearing this, Fu Tong'er immediately stood up and tried to hug Jiu Ye, but then fell to the ground, crying, "No! You can't leave me..."
Jiu Ye immediately bent down, helped Fu Tong'er up, and took her into his arms. He said to Prime Minister Fu Minhuan, "Junior, coax Tong'er to sleep before you go out."
"I'll wait for you on the first floor."
After the door was closed, Jiu Ye made the bed, helped the person sit down, bent down, and took off her shoes, socks, and outer clothes, leaving only an emerald green undershirt.
Fu Tong'er hugged Jiu Ye's waist and refused to let go. Jiu Ye lifted a corner of the quilt, carried her in, and covered her with the quilt.
Fu Tong'er held onto Jiu Ye's hand and refused to let go: "Brother Lu Jin, don't go, don't go, Tong'er is afraid of the dark~"
"Tong'er, count down to one hundred. I will come back after you finish counting."
"Really?"
Jiu Ye touched Fu Tong'er's head and turned to leave.
"Ninety-nine..."
Fu Tong'er had just counted the first time when she heard the voice of Master Jiu outside the door:
"Guard this place! No one is allowed to trespass without my order!"
"Yes! Master Jiu!"
"Ninety-eight..." Fu Tong'er lay in the cold quilt, unable to fall asleep. Thinking that Jiu Ye might leave him, tears flowed down her face, soon wetting the pillow.
"Ninety-seven..."
She touched her belly, which was empty. It would be great if she really had Jiu Ye's child.
Downstairs, at the table, Jiu Ye, King Hui, Fu Lei, Prime Minister Fu, and a parrot raised by Fu Tong'er were gathered around the table.
He opened two large jars of fine local fermented rice wine and ordered the waiter to bring out seven or eight plates of beef and mutton, several plates of peanuts, stir-fried soybeans, a dish of stir-fried leeks, and a dish of stir-fried fish.
Jiu Ye picked up the wine bowl and started drinking.
Deputy General Xiao said, "Master Jiu is such a good actor. Miss Fu is crying so sadly in there, but Master Jiu is actually drinking and eating meat with big bowls of wine and big mouthfuls of meat down there. If Miss Fu sees this, Master Jiu will be beaten again tonight."
