“You probably won’t agree, so…”
"They knew I disagreed, yet they still changed it. They are my children, not surnamed Fu."
"Let's leave it at that for now. If you insist on their surname being Mu after some time, I'll change it back for them."
"In a while? Right now, they're extraordinary children in the academy. Even Dean Yan treats them differently from the others. If I hadn't discovered that once they've adapted to their identity as the Fu family, returning to their ordinary identity as the Mu family would be like falling from a high place, what would they do?"
“Then I won’t change it,” Fu Yunchen said. “They call me father, so I’ll treat them like my own children. If anything happens to me in the future, they will be my heirs.”
"..." Mu Run stared in disbelief. This guy is really crazy!
Tuantuan stood at the door, watching the two of them argue, and suddenly burst into tears.
Upon hearing this, Mu Run rushed over, "What's wrong with Tuan Tuan? Is something hurting?"
"I need to pee," Tuantuan replied, then looked timidly at Fu Yunchen.
Fu Yunchen walked over and patted Mu Run's head, "Speak more softly next time."
"It's because you have a loud voice." Mu Run frowned, swept his hand away, and then carried Tuan Tuan to the corner of the door, where there was a chamber pot.
Fu Yunchen pinched the bridge of his nose, listening to Mu Run coaxing the child inside the room, and suddenly felt helpless.
After Mu Run finished comforting the child, she lay on the bed. Tuan Tuan clung to her clothes, not letting her leave, and gradually she fell asleep.
I had prepared a whole lot to say, but suddenly I didn't want to say it anymore.
Fu Yunchen waited in the study for an hour for Mu Run, but she didn't come over, so he lay down.
The next day, Mu Run went to the academy and changed Huanhuan and Tuantuan's surnames.
But everyone already knew yesterday that Huanhuan and Tuantuan are Fu Yunchen's children, and changing their surname was probably to protect them. After all, if anyone wanted to harm Fu Yunchen, wouldn't these two children be readily available leverage?
Regardless of what the two children's surnames are, it won't change their status as the sons of the Prince of Chongyang in everyone's mind.
Fu Yunchen left behind several bottles of blood and preserved them in a piece of cold jade to keep the blood fresh.
Looking at the bottles of blood, Mu Run recalled the argument from the previous night and felt a pang of guilt. Whatever he had hidden from her, it was all for the good of the child.
Well, once the curse on Tuantuan is lifted, she'll take them back to Death Valley.
These days, she has been practicing her long jump.
In fact, as long as you overcome your fear, the River of Death is not impossible to cross.
"Madam Mu, a few concubines wish to meet you," Madam Cai said to Mu Run.
Mu Run composed herself and said, "Let them come over."
Several women entered the room, each carrying a bulging bundle.
"Greetings, Lady Mu." Several women bowed gracefully.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Mu Run asked.
One of them stepped forward and said to Mu Run, "We want to leave the mountain stronghold."
"Oh?" Mu Run asked in surprise.
"The king once told us that if we wanted to leave, he would not stop us. If we wanted to stay, he would take care of us. But we don't want to be kept like this for the rest of our lives. We want to leave the mountain stronghold and find another way to make a living."
"Not a bad idea." Mu Run rested her elbows on the table, clasped her hands together, and looked at the group of people.
"But after you come down the mountain, have you thought about how you will live? How will you cope with the complexities of human relationships and the treacherous nature of people down there? And how will you make a living?"
