Han Yu'an arrived at the prison and saw the second branch of the Han family imprisoned inside.
I can't quite describe how I feel.
He should feel relieved at this moment, since they were the ones who caused all of this, and he should hate them.
If it weren't for them, Yulu and he would probably be living a peaceful life, studying every day and waiting for the imperial examinations. But all of this tranquility has been shattered.
It's all because of this family's constant fault-finding; even if I hate them now, it's understandable.
"Heh heh, how could someone as noble as you set foot on such lowly ground?"
Han An had long lost his former glory, leaning against a corner of the dungeon in tattered clothes. Hearing the sound of the dungeon door, he slowly raised his head and saw that the person who came in was Han Yu'an. He couldn't help but smirk.
He accepted the adage "the victor is king, the loser is villain."
He just didn't believe his good luck was about to end. It was just exile; as long as he didn't die, he would make a comeback sooner or later.
"Today is New Year's Eve. I just came to see how you spent it. In just one year, so much has changed in our lives. I hate you. I wish you were dead in front of me right now, but I also feel that would be too easy for you. So I asked the Emperor to exile you. I want to watch you suffer. Only when you suffer enough will the hatred in my heart lessen."
Han An glanced coldly at Han Yu'an and said with a light laugh, "I know you hate me. I ruined your good life. I've been jealous of you since we were kids. Why is it that a motherless orphan like you is a prodigy? I've tried so hard but I can never catch up to you. Even the teachers favor you. That's why I hated you back then."
But fate was kind to me. My mother met an old Taoist priest, and after spending money, we finally figured out a way to switch our destinies. I was able to enter school and become a student. I originally thought I could pass the imperial examinations and become an official, and that my life would be smooth sailing. But then you married that Cui Yulu, ruining all my plans. If only you had been foolish your whole life, none of this would have happened, and we could still be living a peaceful life.
But you insisted on regaining your intelligence and taking back everything that belonged to me, so I hate you, and I hate Cui Yulu even more. He absolutely cannot live. Heaven is still on my side a little more. Your loving grandmother is dead, Cui Yulu is dead, but I am still alive. Hahaha, you hate me now.
Han An laughed maniacally, his emotions completely out of control at this moment, and the entire dungeon was filled with his laughter.
Looking at his manic state, Han Yu'an smiled contemptuously and said, "But in the end, you still ended up disgraced and in my hands. You can laugh to your heart's content now, because you won't be in the same mood to laugh on the road."
After saying that, he left the dungeon without looking back, as staying there for even a moment longer would be an insult to himself.
After he left, Han An finally couldn't hold back his tears and completely lost his previous arrogance.
In Ghost Cave Village, Fu Xiaoyu met Qiao Yuzhu, who was kind to him.
In fact, Qiao Yuzhu recognized Fu Xiaoyu on the mountain yesterday, but she did not expect that he had lost his memory and his intelligence had become like that of a child.
He was no longer as aloof as before; instead, he seemed much more approachable.
Qiao Yuzhu looked tenderly at his hand, which had been scraped from the fall.
Does it hurt here?
As Fu Xiaoyu watched her gently blowing on his wound, he suddenly remembered that his wife had also blown on the wound for the little mute in the same way, and he suddenly felt even more distressed.
If only my wife could blow on me like this now.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel wronged. However, Qiao Yuzhu didn't know why he was sad and thought she had hurt him, so she quickly comforted him even more gently.
"Don't cry, it doesn't hurt. I have some ointment here, I'll put some on for you and it won't hurt anymore."
As they were talking, Qiao Meizi led Fu Xiaoyu back into her stone cave, which surprised the little mute boy who had been peeking all along.
Suddenly, something occurred to him: Could it be that this Miss Qiao wanted to use a man to improve her cultivation?
That way, I could get my revenge, but that would be pointless, especially since my master wouldn't forgive me anyway.
He wanted Fu Xiaoyu, I don't know what he was thinking.
However, now that Fu Xiaoyu has entered another woman's cave, it would be better to go back and tell Yulu, so that Yulu will hate Fu Xiaoyu.
That way, I can get closer to her.
Thinking of this, the little mute boy didn't waste a moment and transformed into a black shadow, disappearing into the forest.
Cui Yulu, Xia Lan'er, and Du San Niang had already prepared the meat dishes and placed them on plates and bowls. At this moment, Old Gui Tou was also successfully attracted by the aroma of their meat.
He sat in front of the stone table with a big smile, watching the increasingly abundant food on the table, his smile never closing.
"Master, didn't you say you were going into seclusion? Why are you out so early? Has your cultivation improved?"
Old Ghost Head saw Lai Ghost Head blush and waved his hand, saying, "Never mind, never mind, it's not too late to go into seclusion after New Year's Eve."
"You can just say you're craving it."
"You little brat, are you asking for a beating?"
When Old Ghost Head was caught red-handed, he became furious and kicked Lai Gui Tou in the buttocks.
The pain was so intense that the meat that Lai Guitou had just put in his mouth almost fell out.
The conversation between the master and apprentice drew laughter from everyone.
Old Ghost then realized that his good grandson was not among the crowd. What was going on?
"Yulu, where is my grandson Xiaoyu? I haven't seen him for so long."
When Cui Yulu heard the old ghost ask this question, she suddenly realized that she hadn't seen him for a long time.
This person has probably run off somewhere again; they're such a worry.
Cui Yulu felt a sense of helplessness, but fortunately, she was almost finished with her work and would go find him later.
“I know where he went. He wanted to pick wildflowers for his sister, so he must have gone to the mountains.”
Little Ah Huo said with a serious expression, pointing with his little hand to the dense forest on the other side of the mountain.
Cui Yulu felt helpless. Why did they go to the mountains again? Had they forgotten about the dark figure from yesterday?
They're such a worry!
"Wait, where's the little mute boy?"
Xia Lan'er then realized that one person was missing: the little mute.
"Did these two go into the woods together?"
With the little mute boy by his side, Cui Yulu somehow felt a little more at ease. At least it was much safer than him going out alone, and at least someone was protecting him.
"Don't worry, I'll go look for him in the woods."
Lai Guitou, worried about affecting their cooking progress, quickly agreed to go to the woods to find them.
Just as he was about to get up, the little mute boy suddenly rushed back.
He bumped right into Lai Guitou.
Seeing his anxious expression, Cui Yulu's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that this man has gotten into trouble again?
