There's no use keeping a body when someone's heart isn't with them; it's better to give them freedom and let them pursue higher dreams.
"I'm talking about you. Are you willing?" Fu Yunchen asked.
Without hesitation, Mu Run replied, "Of course I don't want to! Putting aside Huanhuan and Tuantuan, I was planning to raise them myself before I met you. You have to take responsibility for this one in my belly, right? If it's mentally challenged, it will be even harder to take care of, and you'll have to shoulder more responsibility. You've already run away before the child is even born, and I'll definitely hold a grudge."
I'm talking about you, not the children.
Mu Run looked at him, "Me?"
Fu Yunchen nodded. "Yes, what do you think?"
Mu Run fell silent.
Fu Yunchen awaited her answer.
...
The ship stopped.
From afar, one could see a group of yamen runners on the dock, with a man dressed in the official robes of Chongyang Prefecture and a still-attractive lady standing at the front.
They gazed at the warship, occasionally raising their hands to wave.
When Liu Xiaohuan saw the two people at the front, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
Bai Shalu watched her from the side and said, "Oh, our female swordswoman has such a tender side."
"Weren't you born of a father and mother?" Liu Xiaohuan rolled her eyes at him.
As Bai Shalu watched Prefect Liu and his wife approach, he subconsciously straightened his back, becoming even more upright.
Qiao Dongzi and Zhong Jiu stood not far away, secretly observing Bai Shalu.
Qiao Dongzi whispered, "I knew this kid didn't want to be a decent human being. Look... he could bring himself to hurt a little girl who's only fifteen."
Zhong Jiu nodded, "Yes, if we had gotten married earlier, he could have had a child this big by now."
"I think they're a good match." Yun Ruji appeared quietly behind them and spoke suddenly, startling the two of them.
Zhong Jiu said, "Aunt Yun."
Qiao Dongzi also said, "Aunt Yun."
"Hmm." Yun Ru looked at Bai Shalu with hope. "This kid is not bad."
Qiao Dongzi said, "Of course, it's the boss's vision."
“You’re not bad either,” Yun Ruji said.
Qiao Dongzi was taken aback, then blushed. "Thank you, Aunt Yun, for your appreciation."
"You're not doing well," Yun Ruji said, glancing at Zhong Jiu.
Zhong Jiu panicked immediately, "I...I am loyal to the King, as clear as day."
Yun Ruji said, "It's not that, it's you. You're destined to be a loner. When you find a wife in the future, you need to find someone with strong yang energy and a tough life. Otherwise, she won't be able to control you."
"What kind of woman has strong yang energy and a tough life?" Zhong Jiu asked immediately.
Qiao Dongzi said, "Hey, you're supposed to know everything from astronomy to geography, how come you don't even know this?"
“He has someone he likes, and Guan Ji can’t help him,” Yun Ruji said in a shrewd tone.
Qiao Dongzi was shocked. "What?!"
Zhong Jiu was also surprised; he had only had a little something going on, so how could it have been seen through?
“Give me her birth date and time,” Yun Ruji said.
Zhong Jiu scratched his ear. "I didn't know that."
"Ask away. If her fate isn't strong enough, I can help her change it."
"Yes, I'll go ask the Princess right away." Zhong Jiu immediately ran off.
Qiao Dongzi was dumbfounded. "No way, he's taken a liking to the princess? That's just asking for trouble."
Yun Ruji said, "Of course not, it should be someone from the Princess's side."
“That’s…” Qiao Dongzi looked at Liu Xiaohuan, “This girl is quite popular.”
"Does the princess only have this one maid?"
"Of course there are more than that. There's only one right now, but there are a bunch in the palace."
"But there probably aren't many maids in the princess's household who know her birth date and time, are there?"
"Indeed... Xiao Hong is one, could it be Xiao Hong?"
