Mu Run packed up the leftover food and the untouched roast duck in a food basket and left the restaurant with Fu Yunchen. They walked aimlessly along the streets of Panlong Town.
A beggar child approached her and begged, "Pretty sister, please give me some money. My parents are dead, and my younger brother and sister haven't eaten for two days. They're starving to death."
Without a second thought, Mu Run handed him the food basket in her hand. "Take it."
The little beggar lifted the lid of the food basket and immediately saw the roast duck. Overjoyed, he exclaimed, "Is it really for me?"
"Mm." Mu Run nodded and took out a silver note from her pocket. It was the reward Fu Yunchen gave her for killing the ghost soldiers. "Take this and take good care of your younger brother and sister."
"Yes, yes, thank you, beautiful sister." The little beggar took the silver note and quickly stuffed it into a well-hidden pocket at the very back of his tattered clothes.
Then he kowtowed to Mu Run a few more times, and finally ran away with the food basket.
Fu Yunchen walked ahead, watching helplessly as she gave all her money to a little swindler, without doing anything to stop her.
Mu Run looked at her empty hands, a resolute glint flashing in her eyes. She took two quick steps, stood in front of Fu Yunchen, and looked up at him. "When I turn eighteen, I'll have a child for you, okay?"
Fu Yunchen was shocked. After a long while, he took her hand and walked forward.
A word, both light and heavy, was carefully uttered from his lips: "Okay."
...
The Northern Jin army, central command tent.
Mu Run stood in an inconspicuous spot, hands clasped, head bowed, listening to Fu Yunchen and the generals of the Northern Jin army discuss how to take Yunlong Mountain.
Suddenly Fu Yunchen called to her, "Hua Ling, you go out first."
Mu Run was taken aback for a moment before realizing that the person was talking about her. She curtsied and left.
Qiao Dongzi was standing outside and greeted her, "Little Hualing seems a bit unhappy. Did you have a bad time with the boss on the way here?"
"Sigh! Don't even mention it." Mu Run now deeply regrets telling Fu Yunchen that she would have his child at eighteen.
She was stunned by his message, unable to process her emotions, her mind racing. All she could think about was getting back what she had lost, and that the child might still be waiting to be reborn into her womb…
Once I regained my senses, I was filled with utter regret.
Although it's a pity to think about that child now, strictly speaking, he was just a fertilized egg, a single cell, and didn't even reach the level of a human infant.
"What happened?" Qiao Dongzi asked curiously. "But I see that the boss is in a good mood. After arriving at the army, he gave each of the soldiers two taels of silver, which is nearly ten thousand taels."
"How would I know what's wrong with him? Maybe he's just too upset and needs to vent."
"Sad? Why should the boss be sad?"
"you do not know?"
"Know what?"
Mu Run glanced at the central command tent, then walked away from Qiao Dongzi.
“Princess Xiao’an once had a child with the master, but Princess Xiao’an did not want to have the child, while the master wanted it, so she was depressed. This kind of emotion is very bad for the body, and it is good for health to vent it. It’s like when someone is angry, they like to spend money recklessly to buy a lot of things, which is also a way of venting. Once the emotions are vented, the body returns to normal, and then you can continue to live and carry on with what needs to be done.”
