Sanqiao said, "Sir, we are not spies."
Yu Xuanji said, "Tell the truth and I won't torture you."
Hua Fushu looked Yu Xuanji up and down, and roughly guessed his identity. "Sir, please call Ye Zelin over to me. He can prove that I am not a spy."
Yu Xuanji laughed and said, "You said you knew the young general, why should I believe you?"
Hua Fushu asked in response, "Sir, have you ever seen a spy lying on a wall without vigilance? Have you ever seen a spy who surrendered without fleeing?"
Yu Xuanji asked, "Do you recognize me?"
Hua Fushu said again: "I don't recognize him."
Yu Xuanji said, "You don't recognize me, so how do you know I'm the Shangshu?"
Hua Fushu felt that Yu Xuanji was talking too much nonsense, so he said patiently, "Master Yu, I've never met you, but I've heard about you. You're the most senior person in the post station. If you caught a spy, would you send an insignificant person to interrogate him?"
Yu Xuanji took another look at the woman. Although she looked like a beggar, she was quite clever. He said, "Even if you say you are not a spy, why should I believe you? A spy will never admit that he is a spy."
Hua Fushu sighed and told the truth, "Of course I'm not a spy. I'm here to look for my husband."
Looking for your husband?
Yu Xuanji and Yu Chisu were both stunned. Yu Xuanji asked, "Who is your husband?"
Hua Fushu said, "Ye Zelin."
Hearing this, Yu Xuanji couldn't help laughing. "This is the second joke I've heard today. Little girl, if you want to find a reason to lie to someone, you should find a better one."
"That's right, the young lady of the Ye family would look like you." Yu Chi Su raised a hint of sarcasm.
Hua Fushu said seriously, "Whether it's true or not, please call Ye Zelin over and we'll know."
Seeing that she spoke so confidently, Yu Xuanji felt that she was not lying, so she sent someone to invite Ye Zelin over.
"Master Yu."
Hua Fushu looked back and saw the person coming in, a man in a moon-white gown, with a tall and graceful figure, handsome features, and elegant demeanor. It was Ye Zelin, whom she had not seen for over a month. She was immediately overjoyed.
"Husband!"
Ye Zelin was stunned, "Why is it you?"
He walked over, squatted down, looked at Sanqiao, then at Hua Fushu, pouted her lips slightly, and looked at him pitifully.
Yu Xuanji and his nephew were stunned again.
Yu Chisu pointed at Hua Fushu and asked, "Second Brother Ye, is she really your wife?"
Hua Fushu glanced at Yu Xuanji and Yu Chisu, then complained to Ye Zelin, "I told them you were my husband, but they didn't believe me. They almost broke my legs, tied us up, and locked us up here without a word."
Ye Zelin circled her and said with a smile, "Could it be that you are the female beggar that Uncle Qiao mentioned who pretended to be my wife? Sister Fushu, why are you dressed like this?"
Gurgle gurgle...
Hua Fushu was about to explain, but her stomach rumbled and she had no mood to explain. Ye Zelin hurriedly untied the rope for her and then untied the rope for Sanqiao.
Hua Fushu hugged Ye Zelin and said pitifully, "Husband, I haven't eaten all day. I'm so hungry."
Sanqiao also touched her stomach and said, "Sir, I'm hungry too."
Ye Zelin's body stiffened slightly, but he quickly reacted, "Let me go first."
Hua Fushu let him go, and he asked again, "Why did you come to Yuezhou?"
Hua Fushu said pitifully, "I'm hungry."
Sanqiao also said: "Sir, please don't ask now. Let's talk about it after we have eaten our fill."
Ye Zelin stopped asking questions and took them out of the woodshed.
Yu Xuanji touched her nose and asked, "What's going on?"
Ye Zelin took Hua Fushu and Sanqiao back to the room, and asked the kitchen to prepare two bowls of noodles and send them over. Having been hungry for most of the day, the two of them didn't care about anything else and started eating with relish. The big bowl of noodles was soon finished.
Hua Fushu burped loudly, but Ye Zelin reached out his hand. She leaned back and asked, "What?"
"Don't move." Ye Zelin said lightly.
He gently wiped away the debris from the corner of her mouth. Hua Fushu was stunned, and a light blush appeared on her cheeks.
Seeing her gaze, Ye Zelin realized his impoliteness and quickly withdrew his hand, "You have something near your mouth."
"Oh." Hua Fushu said lightly.
Sanqiao tactfully collected the dishes and left, leaving the room to the two of them. Hua Fushu was very grateful to Sanqiao, feeling that her love for her was worth it.
She hadn't seen the man in front of her for more than a month. She had a lot to say to him, but when she met him, she didn't know how to start.
Just as she was thinking about how to start, Ye Zelin said first: "Now, you can tell me why you are dressed like this."
Hua Fushu said, "I'm afraid bad people will rob me of my money and my body."
Ye Zelin scoffed and asked again, "Why did you go to Yuezhou?"
Hua Fushu suddenly had an idea and said, "I miss you."
Ye Zelin looked unconvinced: "Tell the truth."
Hua Fushu said: "It's the truth, I really miss you."
Ye Zelin approached her and said coldly, "If you don't tell the truth, I will tie you up and send you back to the capital."
Hua Fushu had no choice but to tell the excuse he had prepared: "I'll tell you the truth, my master has a few patients who need my help to treat. After I cure them, I'll come to see you."
Ye Zelin reluctantly believed her and asked, "Where is your master?"
"Qinzhou." Hua Fushu said.
Ye Zelin asked again: "Are you going by water or by land?"
Hua Fushu replied, "Waterway."
Ye Zelin asked again: "Aren't you seasick?"
Hua Fushu: "Just bear with it."
