I am also happy
Su Yun was startled and looked up at him.
Fu Chang'an's eyes were blazing, and he didn't shy away from anything. "I, Fu Chang'an, only consider right and wrong when doing things. I have my own standards. If I have made up my mind, even if the king of heaven comes, don't think that the people around me will suffer the slightest injustice." He leaned forward slightly and said, "My Fu family does have power and status, but this is not a reason to be timid. It is precisely the confidence to protect the people I love. It is true that the eldest princess is a royal relative, but I, Fu Chang'an, am not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others. If she is reasonable, I will be reasonable. If she wants to use her power to pressure others..."
He chuckled lightly, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes: "Then let's see, is my knife sharper, or is her attitude stronger?"
These words were extremely overbearing, even a bit treasonous, but they suddenly split the feeling of powerlessness in Su Yunwei's heart. She looked at the man in front of her, her eyes as firm as when she took the oath to join the party.
He is a general who fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The rules of his world are very simple.
If you can do it, go ahead. If you can’t, just get down.
Seeing her stunned, Fu Changan's tone softened a bit. "So, Weiwei, you have to remember, no matter what happens, as long as I'm here, you don't have to put yourself in a difficult position, let alone worry about implicating the Fu family. The Fu family is not as fragile as you think. I, Fu Changan, am not someone who can be moved at will. Go ahead and save whoever you want to save, and do whatever you want to do. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up."
Su Yunwei's heart skipped a beat, and she felt like a little deer running around inside. She finally understood the sense of security that her roommate had talked about.
She looked at him and said "hmm", her voice was very soft, but it was full of trust in him.
"I understand." She paused and added, "Thank you, Fu Changan."
Fu Changan watched those dim eyes light up again, and finally a genuine smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew that she had heard him. That was enough.
A gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it a hint of the fragrance of trees, dispelling the previous dullness. In the courtyard, the sun was shining brightly.
After a few days, an old secret about the Grand Princess spread quietly in the capital like willow catkins in the streets and alleys, teahouses, taverns, and deep courtyards.
The rumor describes in detail the tragic end of the two women that the prince consort wanted to marry after his divorce.
One died suddenly.
One of them was humiliated and committed suicide by hanging.
The mastermind behind this is the eldest princess who is rumored to be ruthless due to jealousy and hatred.
The rumor was so credible, even involving long-forgotten details and witnesses, that it sparked widespread discussion throughout the court and the public. Soon, the censor's memorial was delivered to the emperor.
The first to be affected was Xie Yunqing, whom Fu Changan had already arranged.
The Emperor, despite being the eldest princess's brother, was furious upon hearing this. It was appalling that her sister, standing before the emperor, could so disregard the law and disregard human life.
But more importantly, the emperor felt that this matter was extremely difficult.
The royal family's reputation and the relationship between siblings, what is important is only the royal family's reputation.
A large amount of money was confiscated from the Grand Princess and compensated to the two victim families. She was also ordered to stay in the mansion to reflect on her mistakes and was not allowed to leave the mansion without an imperial decree.
This punishment, in the eyes of the world, seemed light and perfunctory. Raised high, then gently lowered.
The emperor's conciliatory approach did not quell the years of grievances and resentment pent up by the two victims. Initially, they remained wary of the emperor's majesty and simply cried out their grievances before the princess's residence. The emperor sent eunuchs to appease and mediate several times, even offering extra rewards in an attempt to suppress the matter.
But how could a dead daughter be valued with money? Seeing the emperor's blind favoritism, the two families were not only heartbroken but also filled with grief and anger. Their actions became increasingly violent. They wore mourning clothes, carried the coffin, and spent the whole day in front of the princess's mansion, beating their chests and stamping their feet, crying and cursing, even kowtowing and wailing for the soul. Countless people gathered to watch and point fingers.
The incident caused a huge uproar and was known to everyone in the capital. The emperor no longer tried to be a peacemaker, and the eldest princess's past domineering deeds were dug up one by one, causing public outcry and eventually he lost his patience.
The emperor was angry that his sister did not restrain herself and caused trouble, but he also felt pity for the two families who had lost their beloved daughters. In the end, the emperor chose to let go.
He no longer restricted the two families and only sent people to monitor them to make sure no one was killed.
The subtext is: My dear sister, you have to bear the consequences of the trouble you have caused yourself. I have done my best.
From then on, the powerful eldest princess lost face, was imprisoned in that magnificent mansion, and was condemned by thousands of people.
Su Yunwei also knew the general ending from Fu Changan's understatement.
Jinglan can be said to have turned a disaster into a blessing. The Grand Princess is not allowed to leave the palace without an imperial decree. Jinglan can finally live her own peaceful life. She just hopes that Li Hao can treat her well.
But the answer given by Li Hao also meant that Jinglan might be ruthlessly abandoned one day in the future.
At night, still in this small courtyard, the moonlight slanted down like water, and the bluestone slabs were coated with a layer of hazy glow. In this quiet surrounding, the occasional subtle chirping of insects could be heard.
Su Yunwei and Fu Changan continued to sit at the stone table. Su Yunwei held the lukewarm teacup, her fingertips unconsciously caressing the wall. She raised her eyes and gazed at the man standing tall and straight across from her. His usually deep eyes now seemed unusually gentle in the moonlight.
His overbearing and protective words from a few days ago once again echoed in my ears.
She suddenly wanted to ask him what kind of person she was in his eyes.
She took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and asked softly, "Fu Changan."
"Hmm?" Fu Changan raised his eyes when he heard the voice, his gaze fixed on her face.
Su Yunwei met his gaze and her heart beat suddenly faster, even though it was clearly nothing.
She lowered her eyelashes slightly, then raised them again, trying to make her voice sound natural: "What do you think of me...?"
After asking this question, she felt her cheeks getting hot, and she quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip, trying to hide her inner nervousness. She didn't know what kind of answer she wanted to hear, but she was looking forward to his answer.
Fu Changan was obviously not expecting her to ask this out of the blue, and was slightly startled. He looked at her slightly flushed cheeks and expectant eyes under the moonlight, and his heart was clear.
During these days of getting along, her intelligence, tenacity, kindness, and her eccentricity and straightforwardness that did not belong to this world had already fallen into his heart bit by bit.
He did not answer immediately, but pondered for a moment, his eyes calm and serious, as if he was carefully considering his words.
Finally, he spoke, his voice clear, each one hitting her heart: "You are fine, Su Yunwei."
He leaned forward slightly, closing the distance between them, his gaze blazing. "You are different from every woman I've ever met. You possess the medical skill of bringing the dying back to life, yet you never boast of it. You appear cautious and fearful, but you are actually kind-hearted, with your own persistence and sense of justice. You know your own situation is difficult, yet you always want to help others. You appear soft, but deep down you have a tenacity that refuses to yield."
He paused, his tone growing deeper. "You're so good, so good... that I can't help but want to protect you well and not let you suffer even the slightest injustice. You're so good that I'm beginning to feel that this yard would be so lonely and uncomfortable without you. You're so good that I... feel happy."
He said the last four words very lightly, but they hit Su Yunwei's heart heavily.
Su Yunwei's heart trembled suddenly, and her hand holding the tea quilt tightened slightly. She raised her eyes and met his deep eyes, which clearly reflected her reflection and his undisguised feelings.
Su Yunwei blushed a little. She couldn't help but wonder, was that person he was talking about herself? She was not as good as he said. She felt a little shy.
He looked at her and continued, "So, it's not about what I think of you as a person, but to me, Fu Changan, you are the one and only Su Yunwei, the one I want to spend my life with."
Having said this, his true feelings are revealed.
Fu Chang'an's heartbeat was pounding. He had never felt so nervous, even facing thousands of soldiers on the battlefield. He stared at Su Yunwei, waiting for her answer. He had already decided on her. All his previous defenses, and today's words were his most direct and thoughtful confession.
The night breeze was gentle, brushing against the hems of their clothes. The moonlight sprinkled down, lengthening their figures that were leaning on each other, as if they were meant to be closely connected.
Su Yunwei listened to his frank and passionate words, and looked at his seriousness. The corners of her lips couldn't help but rise.
Sure enough, this Fu Changan just likes her. In all her life, this is the first time someone confessed to her, and it’s a handsome guy.
Su Yunwei shouted in her heart: I made a profit!
She slowly put down the teacup, met Fu Changan's gaze and said firmly: "Fu Changan, I like you too."
As soon as these words came out, Fu Changan's eyes instantly burst into a brilliant light, as if thousands of stars fell into them. A huge ecstasy surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but reach out his hand, crossed the stone table, and gently held her hand on the table.
His palms were broad and warm, with a thin layer of calluses, but his movements were gentle, as if he were handling a rare treasure.
Su Yunwei did not struggle to break free. Instead, she turned her wrist slightly and gently intertwined her fingers with his. The warmth of their palms touching went straight to her heart.
Their hearts connected in their mutual gazes. The moonlight, gentle and alluring, quietly witnessed the feelings that had quietly grown and now finally became clear.
The moonlight matchmaker is hanging high above the night sky.
Su Yunwei looked at her tightly clenched hands, then raised her eyes to look at Fu Changan opposite her, and an idea that had been lingering for a long time suddenly flashed through her mind.
Now they are in a serious boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, so they can do whatever they want with justification.
"Fu Changan?"
"Um?"
"Let me kiss you!"
Fu Changan: “!!!!”
