"Here." Qiaoyu walked to Murun's side and handed her the food box in her hand. "Lotus cake. Fangyu Xiaozhu was in a bad mood and threw it out. I cleaned it up. Let's eat it quietly."
Fangyu Xiaozhu… Mu Run thought it sounded familiar, but couldn’t quite place it. “You eat, my stomach is a little upset.”
Qiaoyu raised her hand and touched Murun's forehead, "Are you still suffering from the aftereffects of falling into the water?"
"Much better." Mu Run avoided Qiao Yu's hand.
Qiaoyu looked at her face, which was still a little pale, but her eyes were much brighter. "That's good. The manor is very busy. The head maid checks the number of people every day. Now that you're feeling better, you should go and show your face so that she won't cause you any trouble later."
“Okay, I understand,” Mu Run replied.
Qiaoyu opened the food box, took out a lotus cake that was a little dusty, peeled off the dusty skin, leaving the fine lotus seed paste inside, and stuffed it into Murun's mouth, "It's not dirty anymore, eat it quickly."
Mu Run was indeed hungry. She could endure it until the food entered her mouth, but as soon as it did, her stomach responded immediately, urging her to swallow quickly.
"Thanks."
"Why are you being so polite with me?"
"Qiaoyu, have you found Hualing?" a soft voice called out.
Upon hearing this, Qiaoyu quickly responded, "Xiaoxing, I'm here."
Xiao Xing ran over and saw them eating lotus cakes, so she took a piece as well. She skillfully peeled off the outer layer of dust and ate while glancing at Mu Run, "You look much better. I thought you were dead when I saw your complexion before."
Mu Run recognized her; she was the girl who had fainted from fright when she first woke up.
"Pah, pah, pah! Even delicious food can't shut you up. What nonsense are you spouting?" Qiaoyu stuffed another piece of lotus cake into her mouth, and then said to Murun, "Xiaoxing is a simpleton. She just pours out whatever comes to mind. Don't take it to heart."
"Of course not."
Time flies like water, and half a month has passed in a flash.
Mu Run remained bewildered. She wanted to see Fu Yunchen, to have a frank conversation with him, and to tell him who she was.
But then she thought she might as well leave. After all, the identity of Mu Run was no longer there, so why bother going looking for trouble?
If she packs her bags and leaves this time, no one will ever look for her again.
Thinking this way, she did just that, packed her clothes, and told the steward that she wanted to leave the Grand Commandant's mansion.
The manager agreed and gave her an extra month's wages.
But just as she was leaving the Grand Tutor's residence with her bundle on her back!
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if a knife was ripping it out!
I can't even breathe.
Does this person have a heart condition?
Mu Run panicked for a moment and didn't know what to do.
My heart is hurting more and more.
...
Jing Si Hall —
Fu Yunchen, dressed in a loose and comfortable black bathrobe, lay on a cool couch in the courtyard, his eyes closed as if he were dozing. His slightly furrowed brows revealed that he was not as lazy and relaxed as he appeared.
'Bang—' The courtyard gate was kicked open, and a woman who looked drunk staggered into the yard. One hand was clenched into a fist, and the other was clutched tightly to her chest, as if she was enduring great pain. 'Help, help me!'
She didn't want to die. Survival is a human instinct, and if she could live, she would fight for it no matter what.
Fu Yunchen opened his eyes, looked at the woman who had barged in, and frowned.
Mu Run's expression was one of extreme pain, his head and body covered in sweat from the pain, as if he had crawled out of the water.
Fu Yunchen got up from the cool couch.
