The conversation between the two in the room was not going well, and it was clear that a fight was about to break out between them.
"I'm taking her away today, what can you do about it?"
Fu Xiaoyu held Cui Yulu in his arms, his eyes coldly fixed on Lu Changfeng.
"It was indeed my fault for being a mother, but the Lu family has already been exonerated. What exactly do you want to do?"
"Hmph, do you think it's feasible for me to kill your family and then apologize to you?"
Fu Xiaoyu remained silent. It was indeed he who had orchestrated the events of that year, but he had not thoroughly investigated the matter. Later, when he learned that the Lu family had been wronged, he made the matter public, but it was too late.
“I apologize for that incident, but I had no choice at the time. I don’t ask for your forgiveness, but I only ask that you let Cui Yulu go. I will stay and let you do whatever you want with me.”
Lu Changfeng's face was dark, and he completely ignored his words.
This fun game has only just begun, and he won't forgive Fu Xiaoyu just because of a few apologies.
"If you like Cui Yulu, you can take her away, but I won't be responsible if anything happens in the meantime."
With that, Lu Changfeng waved his hand and turned into a cloud of black smoke, leaving the house. Fu Xiaoyu then led Cui Yulu out of the Shadow Pavilion.
She quickly regained her composure, and looked at Fu Xiaoyu with her watery eyes, asking in confusion, "How am I with you?"
Cui Yulu looked at Fu Xiaoyu with hostility.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Shall I take you home now?"
She still glared at him with hatred. If she hadn't been ordered not to act now, she would have killed this man with her own hands.
The mute boy, worried about Cui Yulu's safety, still chose to stay by her side.
Cui Yulu's mood improved considerably after seeing the little mute boy.
However, Fu Xiaoyu noticed that the little mute boy's expression had become uneasy again.
Now he remembered who the little mute was; he was a child from the Xu family.
I never imagined that the child who was terrified back then would be right in front of me.
He had searched everywhere for this child, never expecting that he would become Lu Changfeng's man.
"Are you a child of the Xu family?"
The little mute girl never expected that he would still remember her.
"Yes, you remembered. I am a descendant of the Xu family that you killed. The reason I can't speak is all thanks to you. Are you satisfied now?"
Cui Yulu felt sorry for him and quickly comforted him, "Big brother, don't pay attention to him. He's a bad person. We shouldn't bother with him."
Upon hearing her words, Fu Xiaoyu's expression grew increasingly grim, but he still shielded Cui Yulu by his side.
“General Xu was a good man back then. It was all because of the treacherous officials who were in power that loyal ministers were wronged. Xiaoyu has really let you down.”
The little mute ignored his words and turned his head away, refusing to listen to him.
His eyes were fixed on Cui Yulu as the two walked together.
“You may not believe what I’m about to say, but things back then weren’t as you think. I was also very saddened by the old general’s death. I tried to find you afterward, but it was as if you had vanished from the face of the earth. No matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t find you.”
"Stop pretending. I don't believe a word you say. You were the one who caused my family's deaths. What's the point of pretending to be so sympathetic now?"
Cui Yulu watched the two of them. Seeing the little mute man gesturing excitedly, she pulled him away after he finished speaking.
"Your Highness, where are you taking me away from here?"
She asked with a curious expression.
Right now, the only instruction in her mind is to stay by Fu Xiaoyu's side.
She had nothing to do; she could only follow instructions.
However, because of her past memories, she now regards Fu Xiaoyu as an enemy, so she doesn't really like him.
She didn't even want to talk to him.
However, Fu Xiaoyu was extremely patient with Cui Yulu and didn't care about her cold attitude towards him.
Why are you always looking at me and smiling? Are we that close?
"Hehe, I think you're cute, can't I look at you a few more times?"
Cui Yulu blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look at his face again.
Fu Xiaoyu's gloomy face finally relaxed a little.
Looking at her shy appearance, I recalled the scene when I first met her.
She hasn't changed, but after experiencing so much, both of their feelings have changed.
"Don't look at me anymore, it makes me uncomfortable."
As she spoke, she quickened her pace, leaving Fu Xiaoyu behind.
Fu Xiaoyu still didn't look at Cui Yulu from inside the carriage.
She couldn't escape from the carriage and could only let him stare at her like that, and several times she had the thought of killing him arose in her mind.
However, she suppressed them all.
The mute girl noticed that he was staring at Cui Yulu, so she pulled her behind her and looked at Fu Xiaoyu with her dark eyes.
"Don't even think about making a move on Yulu. She's my woman now, and I'm responsible for protecting her."
"Heh, your woman? You're really joking. She's always been mine. When did she become your woman?"
This time, Fu Xiaoyu asserted his dominance; this time, he would not back down.
He must keep Cui Yulu close to his side.
"Who wants you to be your woman? Stop talking nonsense. I have nothing to do with you."
"Hmph, really? I remember someone has been saving my life all along, and I'm very grateful to her."
Fu Xiaoyu stared intently at Cui Yulu, which reminded her of some fragments of memories.
These scattered fragments were what gave her a headache.
Seeing this, the little mute girl quickly stopped Fu Xiaoyu from continuing and pulled her into her arms.
"My head hurts so much. I get a terrible headache whenever I think about the past. What's wrong with me?"
"You've been poisoned. Don't be afraid, I'll find the best doctor to treat you. Your head won't hurt forever."
Fu Xiaoyu pushed the little mute girl aside, then hugged Cui Yulu and buried her head in his chest.
She smelled the faint scent of sandalwood on him, and her mind became drowsy; this feeling seemed very familiar.
Her head would ache even more whenever she tried to recall that feeling.
She tried to break free from Fu Xiaoyu, but he only held her tighter.
Unable to resist any longer, she could only half-heartedly lie in his arms.
They traveled in silence, with the little mute secretly observing Fu Xiaoyu's every move, ready to act immediately should he treat Cui Yulu badly.
Fu Xiaoyu looked at the unconscious little girl in his arms, and his large hands stroked her neck, discovering an abnormal lump.
His face immediately darkened, and his eyes glared menacingly at the little mute.
"You actually used Gu worms on her! Do you know that these worms will kill her?"
The little mute boy stared wide-eyed in terror. This wasn't what he wanted; he just wanted Cui Yulu to be happier.
I never intended for her to die.
