"What if there were no Heart-Eating Gu?"
"If not, I probably would have left the capital long ago."
Where do you want to go after leaving the capital?
"I want to go to Xiangcheng to visit a friend. Then I'll go to Minzhou or Jiangzhou to take a look. There are quite a few places I want to visit."
Mu Run stayed with Fu Yunchen the whole time, eating steamed buns with him and chatting about all sorts of things, but she never asked him why he had divorced Princess Xiao'an.
However, the fact that she and Fu Yunchen had spent nearly two hours together in the library quickly reached Princess Xiao'an's ears.
When Princess Xiao'an found out, she didn't say anything, but those who served her knew that the calmer she was, the more terrifying she was.
Fu Yunchen was suspended from his post and temporarily left the imperial court.
Those court officials who disliked Fu Yunchen were overjoyed, as if they had won a great victory. Meanwhile, those who were loyal to Fu Yunchen were filled with gloom and despair.
When Mu Run learned of this news, he was at the gate of the Grand Commandant's mansion, loading eight puppies onto a carriage with Qiao Dongzi.
The person who told them this news was himself.
"What's wrong? Are you so surprised that you've gone crazy with joy?" Fu Yunchen smiled as he looked at Mu Run and Qiao Dongzi, who were stunned.
Mu Run came to her senses, not knowing what to say, and simply pushed the basket containing the puppy into the carriage.
"Thank goodness, it's just a suspension. I thought I was going to be dismissed." Qiao Dongzi breathed a sigh of relief. "So, what are you going to do now, sir?"
"I haven't decided what I'll do yet. You can go home and see your wife, kids, son, and daughter." Fu Yunchen patted his shoulder. "You've had a tough time these past few days."
Qiao Dongzi raised his hand and wiped his nose. "What are you saying, boss? It's all just what I should do. Shall I leave now?"
"Let's go." Fu Yunchen nodded.
Qiao Dongzi turned to Mu Run and said, "Take good care of the master. When I come back, I'll bring you some dried duck meat that your sister-in-law made herself."
"Okay," Mu Run replied. "Please give my regards to my sister-in-law, nephew, and niece."
"Thanks," Qiao Dongzi said, and then disappeared.
Mu Run asked Fu Yunchen, "Where are his family members?"
Fu Yunchen said, "I don't know, only he knows."
"..." Something must have happened in Bianyun Village.
Mu Run drove the carriage, which contained Fu Yunchen and eight small dogs, and headed out of the capital.
Not long after they left, a seemingly inconspicuous young girl left through the back gate of the Grand Commandant's mansion.
As she walked through a quiet alley, someone was waiting for her.
"You must be from the Princess's residence. Do you know what happens when someone serves two masters?" Qiao Dongzi flashed a bright smile at the little girl, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.
The little girl's face changed drastically, and she turned and ran away.
But he hadn't run two steps when a knife pierced his chest...
...
Mingyue Xiyang Mountain Villa.
Mu Run stopped the carriage at the entrance of the manor, her eyes filled with memories.
"Sir, we've arrived."
Mu Run spoke to the carriage.
But no one responded to her.
Mu Run lifted the carriage curtain... and what she saw was Fu Yunchen sleeping against the carriage wall.
When he was awake, his aura was so overwhelming that even when he tried to restrain himself, he still made people afraid to look at him closely.
He's asleep now, looking innocent and harmless, with the pure innocence of a young boy.
As she watched, Mu Run became mesmerized.
"Woof~ woof woof~" The sound of a puppy barking rang out.
Mu Run came to her senses.
Fu Yunchen was also awakened by the dog's barking, and opened his dark, murky eyes.
