"Yeah." Gu Yunru leaned slowly on her shoulder. On the other side, Xiangping was not idle either. She handed the Sumuzhai to Mazi and others to take care of it, and she cooked a few delicious dishes to visit Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu was still wearing white clothes, and she was in a daze in the hall every day. She would also summon many warriors to issue a hunting order, and anyone who could bring back Ding Ning's head would be rewarded with a huge reward.

"Xiao Yu, today the chef brought your favorite Yipin Hotpot and sweet and sour pork ribs. Please try them." Xiang Ping brought the dishes to the table with a smile on his face, but Xiao Yu didn't even blink. He was almost starving to the point of skin and bones these days, but he was still so stubborn. He never thought that Xiao Yu was actually such a stubborn person.

"Xiao Yu, Liang Xu is dead. Don't think about him anymore. You have a lot of life ahead of you. Do you want to keep going like this? Have you ever thought about your future?" Xiang Ping walked forward to comfort her with an unbearable heart. Xiao Yu blinked slowly and came back to her senses.

"I once thought about ending it all...but when I thought of the baby in my belly, I held on..."

"What? You are pregnant? Why didn't you tell the master earlier?" Xiangping looked at her with joy. Xiaoyu was really something. She was pregnant but she kept it a secret. They had been busy with the affairs of the Duzun faction all this time and ignored Xiaoyu's feelings. But after Liang Xu left, he kept crying. If he continued like this, he would definitely hurt his body.

"Master will have to give you some advice and make some tonic dishes for you!" Xiangping smiled with satisfaction as he sat aside. After having this child, he was no longer afraid that Xiaoyu would have any improper thoughts.

"Master, I want to leave Qizhou City."

"…What are you talking about? Where are you going to go after you leave here? Here, besides your master, Brother Rong, and Sister Gu, do you have any other relatives?"

Xiangping thought that she had been a little confused these days and actually said such nonsense. Qizhou City was where he was born and raised, and it also held his and Liang Xu's best memories. It would be too irresponsible for her to just leave like that.

"I've made up my mind. I want to take the child away from this place. When he grows up, I'll tell him...his father died at the hands of a bully..."

Xiaoyu stared ahead with lifeless eyes and spoke these words word by word, but her tone was extremely distressing, and this version of the story sounded somewhat familiar. Xiangping was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "Xiaoyu, you have to think carefully. You are all alone outside, and you don't know where to go, right? So many people in Huajianlou are your friends. Are you going to leave just like that? Are you really going to abandon them so heartlessly!"

I wanted to use these personal connections to get Xiaoyu to stay, but I didn't expect her attitude to be so firm. It seemed that she had planned it all along.

The Liang Mansion was almost emptied, and even the real estate deeds were taken back. "I have made up my mind, and no one can convince me. Master, thank you for taking care of Xiaoyu these days. Xiaoyu understands it in her heart, but she really can't muster the energy."

“………” Xiangping looked at the silly Xiaoyu and nodded helplessly, and told Gu Yunru and Rong Zhen that Xiaoyu was about to leave.

That night, several people were eating around the round table. Xi Niang's belly was getting bigger and bigger. It looked like she would give birth in just half a month. The day passed in the blink of an eye, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn. Xiang Ping quickly changed the subject, looking at Xi Niang's belly and said, "Xi Niang is about to give birth. From now on, this Huajianlou will be lively again!"

Obviously, everyone's faces were still very heavy, and they did not become relaxed because of her adjustment. Xiang Ping sighed helplessly and said, "Please don't be like this, Xiaoyu must be very sad to stay in this place, and she will be in agony when she thinks of what she and Liang Xu had done in the past. So I still support Xiaoyu's decision, sister Gu, what do you think?"

She knew that Gu Yunru was an expert in mental therapy and her words were equal to authority. Everyone ate the meal absent-mindedly and carelessly. Even though Xiangping tried hard to adjust the atmosphere, he failed to achieve his goal.

Gu Yunru put down her bowl and chopsticks, looked at everyone and said, "I'm full, I'm going to go upstairs first." Yaya said this and went back to the room. Rong Zhen noticed that something was wrong with her, so he followed her. Before he could open the door, he heard her sobbing.

The lady had never sobbed in front of him, but he didn't expect that when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she would curl up in a corner and completely release her emotions. Perhaps this was what the lady said, if a person has too many things on his mind, he will collapse sooner or later. After thinking about it, he decided to turn around and leave.

Three days later, Xiaoyu had packed up her things, put her large luggage on the carriage, and came to the city gate. Seeing that everyone was still seeing her off, she smiled at them and said, "Master, Sister Gu will come back to see you when she is free in the future."

Gu Yunru nodded, patted her hand and said, "It's good that you still care about us. Don't think too much about other things. If you meet someone who is good to you, consider it." Gu Yunru didn't want him to live alone for Liang Xu.

After all, the rest of her life is still so long, and Liang Xu is just a passer-by in her life. But it is precisely this reason that makes a person's heart so fragile and so painful.

"I understand, Master. There is some fine wine I brewed before in the yard. At the end of the year, you can dig them all out and drink them. Just like Master said, the longer the wine is brewed, the mellower it becomes. But sometimes you have to drink it when you should." Xiaoyu raised the corners of his mouth, but his expression was no longer as relaxed and natural as before.

She looked more worried and seemed to have aged a lot overnight. However, this age only refers to her mental age and not her mental appearance.

"I know. Go ahead, Master. I won't miss you."

"Um."

Gu Yunru looked at Xiaoyu's figure walking away, feeling a little lonely and reluctant. In the past few days, more and more people left Huajianlou, including those martial arts heroes who had already gathered. Rong Zhen was preparing to hold a farewell banquet for them at this moment. They gathered and dispersed in a hurry.
