"Then why?" Mu Run asked Xiao Xing.
Xiao Xing handed her the small basket of steamed buns in her hand. "There are all sorts of rumors circulating. But the most common one is that the princess had someone else outside, and the master was cuckolded, which is why they divorced. There are also rumors that the princess couldn't have children and couldn't give the master a single child, and she wouldn't let the master take a concubine, so the master proposed a divorce."
Mu Run: "...So, it was the adults who suggested the divorce?" Because no matter which version of events you use, the result is the same.
Qiaoyu suddenly remembered something and hurriedly looked towards the inner room of the library. Seeing that the door was closed and there was no movement, she grabbed one person with each hand and said, "Come on, let's go clean somewhere else first."
Mu Run looked towards the door to the inner room and took Qiao Yu's hand. "Wait."
Qiaoyu: "Hua Ling?"
Mu Run said, "You guys go first."
Qiaoyu glanced at the door to the inner room, nodded, and said, "Okay." She then pulled the bewildered Xiaoxing away from the library.
Mu Run knocked on the door to the inner room. "This servant has some steamed buns here. Would you like some, my lord?"
"Come in," Fu Yunchen's voice came from inside.
Mu Run pushed open the door and went in.
Fu Yunchen was sitting at his desk by the window reading a book, his expression calm and composed, seemingly nothing out of the ordinary.
"Are you alright?" Mu Run asked tentatively.
Fu Yunchen looked at the basket in her hand, "What flavor are the steamed buns?"
Mu Run looked down at the plump white buns in the basket, which had a deep green color and the aroma of chives. "They should be chive, vermicelli, and egg buns. I heard Xiao Xing mention them before, when she was helping the kitchen pick chives."
"Give me one." Fu Yunchen held out his hand.
Mu Run took out a clean handkerchief from her sleeve and wrapped a bun in it for him, saying, "This way it's clean."
Fu Yunchen looked at his fair hands, "...Hmm."
Eating alone can be a little lonely, but it tastes better when someone is with you. Mu Run sat down on the small round stool next to the desk, placed the small basket on her lap, and picked up a steamed bun.
I took a bite, and my mouth was filled with the aroma of chives. In addition to the chives, vermicelli, and eggs she mentioned, there was also dried tofu.
"Delicious." Mu Run ate a steamed bun and handed Fu Yunchen a peeled clove of garlic. "It tastes even better with this."
Fu Yunchen took it and took a bite. It was a bit spicy, but it made him more appetizing and flavorful. "You sure know how to eat."
Since she could eat, it shouldn't be too serious, which reassured Mu Run.
"Besides eating, I can also cook. What would you like to eat?"
"I'd like to drink tea," Fu Yunchen said.
Mu Run shook her head, "No, you can't drink tea while eating."
Fu Yunchen: "What if I just want to drink it?"
Mu Run shook her head again, "That won't work either."
Fu Yunchen sighed softly and continued eating his steamed bun. "I might not be the Grand Commandant anymore tomorrow."
"Not Grand Commandant? You mean, if you divorce the princess, Emperor Xiaozhi will be angry and punish you, dismissing you from your post?"
"almost."
"Then I'll quit. If they don't want me here, there are plenty of other places that will."
"Heh, you're quite open-minded. But I'm not alone; I have many people relying on me."
"Everyone has their own fortune and future. Just take responsibility for yourself. Here, have another bun." Seeing that he had finished the bun in his hand, Mu Run gave him another one.
Fu Yunchen didn't refuse, "If I leave the Grand Commandant's mansion, will you come with me?"
Mu Run nodded, "Let's go... wait, I am Huang Chengsi's Dark Raven. If you can undo my Heart-Eating Gu, I will follow you."
