On the way back.
Cai said to Mu Run, "This is the first time Dean Yan has sent any students out."
Mu Run sighed helplessly, "It's all because of your king's face. I don't know what he said to Dean Yan. He clearly said to try not to be ostentatious."
Huanhuan held Murun's hand and said, "Mom, I'm hungry."
"Hungry?" Mu Run was taken aback.
Madam Cai immediately pulled out two pieces of candied fruit pastries wrapped in oiled paper from her sleeve. "Would you like some pastries?"
"I want to eat, I want to eat." Huanhuan took the two pastries and gave one to Tuantuan.
Tuantuan was also hungry, but unlike Huanhuan, he wouldn't just say what he wanted directly; he would try to endure it if he could.
Mu Run picked up Tuan Tuan and said, "If you're hungry, tell Mommy, okay?"
Tuantuan nodded, "I know."
Mu Run then said to Madam Cai, "Thank you, Sister Cai. You are indeed experienced."
Ms. Cai said, "I'm used to it."
Tian Tian followed beside Cai Shi and whispered, "Mother, I'm hungry too."
Cai took out another piece from her sleeve pocket. "Here you go."
At the foot of Chongyi Peak, Fu Yunchen stood there, talking to Qiao Dongzi.
Seeing that Mu Run and the others had returned, she stopped, walked over to Mu Run, and then took Tuan Tuan from Mu Run's arms, asking, "Are you tired?"
“What’s so tiring about picking up the kids from school?” Mu Run looked at him. “But you, have you been hiding anything from me? About Huanhuan and Tuantuan?”
Cai Shi, holding Tian Tian's hand, said to Fu Yunchen, "Well, Tian Tian and I are going home first. We'll wait for you, my wife, Huanhuan, and Tuantuan here early tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Fu Yunchen nodded.
Qiao Dongzi said, "Perfect timing, I'll go back too, let's go together."
Although Huanhuan is young, she is very clever. She noticed the subtle atmosphere between Fu Yunchen and Mu Run, so she held onto the iron chain handrail and went up the stone steps by herself.
Mu Run awaited Fu Yunchen's reply.
Fu Yunchen looked at Huanhuan and said, "Let's go back first. The children must be hungry too."
Mu Run thought about how the two children had been complaining of hunger on the way, so she nodded and said, "Let's eat first."
During the meal, someone approached Fu Yunchen.
Fu Yunchen left immediately.
The answer Mu Run sought was temporarily unavailable.
...
at night.
After coaxing the children to sleep, Mu Run sat on the rocking chair by the door, waiting for Fu Yunchen to return.
She waited until she was so tired that she fell asleep in the rocking chair, and then Fu Yunchen returned covered in blood.
Seeing Mu Run waiting for him, he stopped and went to the garden reservoir to take a bath.
After changing into a loose blue bathrobe, Mu Run returned to the courtyard and sat in a rocking chair, quietly waiting for him.
"You're bleeding?" Mu Run's tone sounded somewhat unpredictable.
Fu Yunchen paused for a moment, then explained, "No, it's not my blood."
After he left, Mu Run was awakened by the stench of blood he left behind...
"I want to see." Mu Run got off the rocking chair, walked in front of Fu Yunchen, and ripped open his bathrobe.
His chest was a pale white color, firm and smooth, with well-defined muscles, and showed no signs of injury.
Mu Run looked up at him. "What happened?"
"A few assassins from the Middle Jin Dynasty have arrived." Fu Yunchen put his clothes back on, took her hand, and walked towards the study. "Has the child been looking for me?"
"Huanhuan pestered you for a while, wanting you to sleep with her." Mu Run pulled her hand away from his. "Why did you change their surnames?"
"Having the surname Fu is beneficial to them."
Why didn't you tell me?
