"Tenth Master is a good person in every way, but his habit of daydreaming is really quite serious."
A woman's teasing voice came from behind him. When Fu Beiyao lowered his hand and looked up again, Rong Shang's slender figure had already disappeared into the night.
His eyes flickered slightly, burning with affection.
Fu Beiyao chuckled twice, then put one hand behind his back and walked towards Mingyue Pavilion.
The deep red figure gradually disappeared, and Jiang Wanlan pushed open the door of the room next door and walked out.
At this moment, the soft moonlight shone on the courtyard, and the woman's bright eyes glistened with tears.
"Tenth Master, does he really like this woman?"
Why?
Why...not her?

In the following days, Rong Shang went out during the day and rested indoors with the doors and windows closed at night.
Because she knew there was a high chance she would run into Fu Beiyao at night.
As time passed day by day, about half a month later, the clothes that Fu Jingchen had the tailor make for Rong Shang were delivered.
That morning, she had just arrived in the hall to see Fu Jingchen when a servant came to report that someone was causing trouble outside.
This is the Fu family; anyone who dares to cause trouble here is simply courting death.
Fu Jingchen's expression was indifferent as he helped Rong Shang carry the few clothes she hadn't tried on yet.
"Fourth Master." The servants were still waiting on the side, wondering what Fu Jingchen thought about this matter.
"Who is causing trouble outside?" Fu Jingchen's deep gaze fell on the woman standing to the side, whose clothes were being held up to her by a maid. He saw that she had a calm expression and seemed unaffected by what was happening.
He pursed his lips and asked again, "For what reason?"
"Fourth Master, the person who came from outside is the young master of the Liang family, who runs a medicinal herb business in the west of the city." Frowning, the servant recounted what he had just overheard outside. "Young Master Liang said that his fiancée was taken away by Fourth Master."
While the servants were recounting this, they would glance up at Rong Shang, seemingly unintentionally.
Isn't this Miss Mu the one that Fourth Master brought back?
"What are you looking at?" The man's gaze was sharp and menacing. "Get out!"
The servant shuddered, realizing he had just looked at someone he shouldn't have. "Yes, yes, I'll go down now."

Fifteen minutes later, Fu Jingchen and his men walked out of the Fu family mansion.
The moment that imposing man stood at the door, Liang Zhengzong and his dozen or so men outside immediately quieted down.
"Fourth Master."
"What are you doing?" Fu Jingchen glanced coldly at the long sticks in each of their hands, then turned his gaze away expressionlessly, casually fiddling with the pinky ring on his hand.
Liang Zhengzong glanced at him, still somewhat wary of his identity.
"Fourth Master, I came here today only to pick up my fiancée, and I did not mean to offend you."
"Oh?" Fu Jingchen raised an eyebrow. "I had no idea that Young Master Liang's fiancée had come to our Fu family as a maid."
Liang Zhengzong, "..."
"Fourth Master, the woman who got into your car on the street that day, her name is Mu Yunshu."
Whether Fu Jingchen was simply forgetful or intentionally concealing the truth, Liang Zhengzong made it perfectly clear.
To everyone's surprise, the distinguished man before him merely raised his eyes to glance at him upon hearing the name, and asked, "Are you two engaged?"
Well.
Liang Zhengzong was taken aback. "I... I've already proposed marriage."
"Oh." The man said coldly, "So you've never been engaged."
