“It can serve as evidence.” Fu Yunchen looked at her flushed face and said, “Take it and give it to Wuying.”
"It's absolutely disgusting. I never imagined that the imperial family, enjoying the bounty of the people, would not think about bringing prosperity to the nation and ensuring the people's peaceful lives. Instead, their minds are filled with debauchery and lust. With this kind of mentality, the dynasty is doomed to perish sooner or later!"
Mu Run grew increasingly angry as she spoke, thinking of Qiao Yu and Xiao Xing, who were sold into the Prince's mansion because their families couldn't afford food or clothing... They were lucky to have met a kind master like Fu Yunchen who didn't mistreat his servants. Those with bad luck, working in brothels under wicked masters, didn't know how long they would survive.
Fu Yunchen got up from his chair, walked over to her, and looked at Mu Run, whose eyes were full of righteous indignation. "Alright, don't be angry."
Mu Run glared at him, "How can I not be angry? Bao Chan went to Prince Xiang's mansion, and that Prince Xiang is no good either. Calling him a scumbag and a beast is an insult to scumbags and beasts."
"Hehe." Fu Yunchen was amused by her.
"You're still laughing." Mu Run glared at him. "I understand now, you're no better than me."
"No, I have nothing to do with them. I don't even have a concubine in my household." Fu Yunchen couldn't help but pinch her rosy cheeks. "Do you think a dynasty like this will eventually collapse?"
"Yes... uh!" Mu Run's expression immediately changed. "Is it that I can't say?"
"If anyone else heard this, your cute little head would have fallen off by now," Fu Yunchen said, stroking her slender and beautiful neck.
Mu Run quickly took two steps back, looking at him warily, "What are you doing?"
"I'm thirsty, is there any tea?" Fu Yunchen returned to his seat and began tidying up the documents she had messed up.
Mu Run: "I'll go get someone to make it right away."
He turned and ran out quickly, without taking the letter from Prince Zhou.
Fu Yunchen watched her figure run out of the study courtyard before muttering, "Have someone brew it? It seems that it will be a while before I can drink tea brewed by you personally."

Fukuokaku —
Xiaoxing stood on the wooden ladder and picked the cherry blossoms from the tree.
Mu Run held up her basket, looked up at the tree full of bright red fruit, and felt a pang of envy.
These cherry blossom berries, though fleshy and small-pitted, are quite sour; you can't eat more than a few before your teeth start to ache. However, they're perfect for making jam or cherry blossom wine.
“When Baochan was here, all the fruit on this tree belonged to her. Now that she’s gone, no one picks it anymore.” Xiaoxing threw another handful of fruit into the basket.
Mu Run said, "Why don't we send some over to her? Maybe she'll want some."
"She treated you like that, and you still send her gifts?"
"I'm not one to hold grudges," Mu Run said with a smile.
"I can tell, but it's good this way. I'm happier and don't have so many worries."
"Yes. It's such a waste to keep thinking about the bad and unhappy things and ignore the happiness and joy in the present. We need to learn to say goodbye to the past, look at what's under our feet and what's ahead. The new and ongoing things are what's worth our attention and anticipation."
"..." Xiaoxing looked at Murun in surprise, "Hualing, you're so good at talking."
"Hmm?" Mu Run was taken aback, then smiled and said, "That's why I'm teaching you and Qiaoyu to read. You have to study hard, understand? This is knowledge!"
She was embarrassed by what she said... It was so awkward.
She had written letters to them before, and although they said they couldn't read, they kept them carefully. It was clear that they wanted to learn to read, which is why she decided to teach them.
Xiao Xing looked at her with eyes full of admiration, "I will definitely study hard!"
