August 16, the ninth year of the Xuanli reign.
A carriage set out from the Linjiang Fu Mansion and drove to Xishan. It returned in the evening, but did not bring Dong Shulan back.
"What?"
"Replying to Second Madam, Chunxiu said Dong Shulan is not available."
Qi and the other five families all frowned. No time?
Don’t you even have time to come back and explain the reason?
Could it be that she wants to take over the Fu family's huge fortune for herself?
"Where did she go?"
"Chunxiu said she didn't know where the young lady was. If any of you ladies want to find her, please go find her on your own."
Qi's face darkened. "How dare Chunxiu, that lowly maid, be so arrogant, Young Madam? Humph, this shameless woman actually dares to call herself Young Madam. How dare she take us seriously?"
"No, I have to go to Xishan myself to take a look...Are you going or not?"
All five ladies are pregnant, how can they go?
The Third Lady spoke up, "Since Sister has such intention, I'll be sorry to trouble you. We will... wait for your good news at home."
Qi took a deep breath and said, "I'll go out early tomorrow morning to meet this vixen!"
…
…
The vixen was sitting in a carriage running along the winding mountain road of Fenglin Mountain.
She was so excited that Yu Wenjun and Yan Xiaolou, who were traveling with her, were very worried.
They didn't know why they were rushing here so early in the morning. Dong Shulan didn't say anything, but her expression didn't make it seem like something bad was going on. Instead, it looked like a very happy event.
Dong Shulan lifted the car window and looked outside. With Bai Yulian driving, she was not worried about safety, but she felt that the journey was too long.
The sun was setting, the moon was rising, and the road through the mountains and forests was quiet and distant.
She lowered the curtain and looked at Yu Wenjun and Yan Xiaolou. Her lips curled up, her eyebrows curved, and the joy on her face became more and more intense.
"Okay, now I can tell you, but I was dying of suffocation."
Yu Wenjun and Yan Xiaolou both leaned over and looked at Dong Shulan curiously. Dong Shulan bit her lip and whispered, "Husband, you're back!"
Yu Wenjun and Yan Xiaolou were suddenly shocked, their eyes wide open, looking at Dong Shulan in disbelief.
After a few breaths, Yu Wenjun held his breath and whispered, "Are you telling the truth? Don't lie to us!"
"Of course it's true. Bai Yulian told me herself. My husband was afraid that our shouting would alert the people in the other courtyard, so... I only told you now. It's not that I want to keep this news to myself. In fact, it's really hard for me to keep it to myself."
Smiles gradually spread across Yu Wenjun and Yan Xiaolou's faces.
It was as if a touch of spring breeze melted the ice of Weiyang Lake, and spring came, and flowers bloomed.
They took a deep breath and didn't cheer, but their clenched fists, their slightly trembling bodies, and the light in their eyes all showed their excitement after digesting the news.
——My husband is alive!
This day did not fall after all!
Good years are still waiting for them, and the rest of their lives will be even more wonderful!
The heavy stones in the hearts of the three women finally fell. They regained their former vitality and talked in low voices. What they talked about most was not lovesickness, but the matter of marriage, which had to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
"Since my husband asked us to come here, I think he doesn't want outsiders to know that he's alive. So this wedding... if we want a grand ceremony, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a while. I don't want to wait any longer anyway. The wedding doesn't matter. I just want to give him some children!"
Dong Shulan blushed after she finished speaking, Yu Wenjun also expressed her agreement, and Yan Xiaolou also laughed secretly.
After this incident, they became much more mature than before, and they deeply realized that their feelings for Fu Xiaoguan were real and concrete.
In fact, Dong Shulan regretted a lot during this period. She regretted that when she was in Jinling, if she had fulfilled Fu Xiaoguan's impatient wish, if she was pregnant with Fu Xiaoguan's child, she would definitely live a better life and would definitely create a huge family business for this child.
The Fu family has a successor, and I also have a wish.
In the years to come, no one can guarantee whether Fu Xiaoguan will encounter any more accidents or whether he will have such good luck again, so what Dong Shulan wants at this moment is to seize the time and give birth to more children for Fu Xiaoguan.
…
…
The carriage did not pass through the canyon at the foot of Yingchou Mountain - that canyon was extremely prosperous and of course very noisy now.
Therefore, when the Yunhu Lake Island was being built, another road was planned that led directly to Yunhu Lake.
Bai Yulian drove the carriage to a stop by the Yunhu Lake. She came to the carriage door and said with a smile, "Three sisters-in-law, welcome to Yunhu Villa."
Dong Shulan and the other two got off the carriage and saw the quiet lake nearby, a slightly dark island in the lake, and some blurry buildings on the island.
"Come on board, I'll take you there."
A black-sailed boat was floating on Yunhu Lake. The island was getting closer, and so was the courtyard. Then a lantern came out of the courtyard and came all the way to the lake.
"Because the young master doesn't want to be exposed, there are no lights in this courtyard. Of course, after the three sisters-in-law arrive, the lights will of course be lit. I will tell everyone that the three young ladies have arrived at Yunhu Villa for a short stay, but I can't send you maids to serve you, so I'm sorry to trouble you, the three sisters-in-law."
"No problem."
The three women would never care about such things. Their hearts had already flown ashore and flown to that man's side.
The boat docked, and Dong Shulan and the other two went ashore and saw the man holding the lantern.
He was standing under a tree, with a familiar smile on his face, looking at them slyly.
Bai Yulian shrugged her shoulders, waved her hand, turned the boat around and left, thinking that this Yunhu Villa must be full of life tonight!
Dong Shulan and the other two came to Fu Xiaoguan. They looked at him carefully, finding it hard to believe that all this was true.
How many sleepless nights, how many days filled with fear.
They tried to find out any news from the Wu Dynasty, but all they got was sadness and despair.
They originally thought that they would never see this person again in this life, and they even planned to build a cenotaph for him on the back mountain of this Xishan Villa.
But he appeared at this time.
Standing right in front of them.
This surprise made them feel like they were in a dream. Even Dong Shulan felt overwhelmed at the moment.
Fu Xiaoguan touched his face and said with a sly smile, "Why, you don't recognize me after only half a year?"
Dong Shulan rolled her eyes at him, Yu Wenjun spat lightly, and Yan Xiaolou pounced on him like a fly.
That night, a bloody tragedy occurred on the island of Yunhu.
