"Thank you for taking me in these days, sir. I need to go back and pack my luggage, so I'll take my leave."
It started to drizzle outside, dripping soundly.
Falling along the eaves, forming a curtain of rain.
A clear and slender figure slowly sank into the rain curtain and disappeared from Xie Huai's sight.
After Ning Yu returned to the room, she told Ning Yunmiao that Fu Hengze was not dead yet, and asked her to help pack her luggage.
Ning Yunmiao pursed her lips and said, "Sister, do you really want to go back to the Fu Mansion? I think it's great here. At least you don't have to be bullied by those people."
Ning Yu sighed softly and pinched her face which still had some baby fat.
"Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully you, and your brother-in-law will protect you."
Ning Yunmiao nodded gloomily.
Although my brother-in-law is very good to my sister and often protects her, there are always times when he cannot take care of her.
But when he saw the anticipation and smile in Ning Yu's eyes, he had to swallow the words back.
The next day.
The Fu family's carriage stopped at the gate of the Xie family's house early.
When Butler Liu learned that the Lord had let Ning Yu go home, it would be a lie to say he wasn't shocked.
But seeing that Miss Ning had packed her luggage and Fu Hengze was waiting at the door, he didn't know what to say.
Some people were sent to help Ning Yu carry the luggage upstairs.
In just a moment, Ning Yu and Ning Yunmiao got on the carriage and galloped away, leaving behind only dust flying from the horses' hooves.
When Fu Hengze saw Ning Yu, he wanted to hold her hand, but Ning Yunmiao was still there, so it was not easy to make any intimate gestures.
"Yu'er, how have you been these days? Has your mother done anything for you?"
In fact, he knew without asking that if his mother had not done something to them, how could Ning Yu leave with her dowry.
Ning Yu didn't want Fu Hengze to worry, nor did she want to mention that shameful incident. "...It's okay, everything is fine."
Ning Yunmiao was unwilling to do so and wanted to complain to Fu Hengze, but she caught a glimpse of Ning Yu's warning and had to swallow her words back.
"Brother-in-law, if it weren't for Mr. Xie's kindness in taking my sister and me in, I'm afraid we would have starved to death on the streets long ago."
Fu Hengze was grateful to Xie Huai again in his heart.
He also thought of his wife serving tea and water in Xie Huai's study. It seemed that this was not the first time for her to do so.
A strange feeling suddenly arose in my heart.
As Xie Huai's subordinate, he naturally knew that Xie Huai only had errand boys around him and never kept any maids.
Why was his wife able to get close to Xie Huai?
Is it just because he saved your life?
Ning Yu saw that Fu Hengze seemed to be lost in thought, and asked with a smile, "Husband, what were you thinking about just now? You ignored me when I spoke to you."
Fu Hengze was distracted by the voice that sounded like a nightingale.
Somehow his eyes fell on Ning Yu's stunning face, and suddenly an incredible idea emerged in his mind.
It can't be that... the Lord has taken a fancy to Ning Yu?
As soon as the thought came to my mind, it was suddenly interrupted by Fu Hengze, and I just felt a little funny.
Although his wife is extremely beautiful, she is still a married woman.
Moreover, Xie Huai has always been aloof and noble, and has never been interested in women. How could he possibly be interested in Ning Yu?
Fu Hengze didn't think about it anymore and replied, "Yu'er, when the imperial decree for promotion comes down, I will ask for the imperial edict on your behalf."
Ning Yu curved her lips and smiled, her eyes twinkling like stars.
Fu Hengze was stunned by what he saw.
But I secretly thought in my heart that I would tell Yu'er about taking a concubine later. She is so understanding and will definitely understand me.
The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Fu's house, and the three people got off the carriage.
The servants carried the luggage back to the courtyard. Fu Hengze took Ning Yu's hand and said gently, "Yu'er, can we move out after a while?"
He knew that his mother had never liked her, but he couldn't be unfilial to her, so he wanted to move out.
Ning Yu was a little confused. Just as she was about to ask, a graceful figure suddenly walked in from the doorway and bowed towards her. "My concubine Yu Qian greets you, sister."
Fu Hengze flew into a rage when he saw Ye Yuqian coming. He yelled, "Who told you to come? Didn't I tell you to stay in the yard?"
Ye Yuqian knew that Fu Hengze was scolding her like this because of Ning Yu. Her heart ached and her tone was a little unwilling.
"My dear husband, I have done nothing wrong, why am I locked up in the yard..."
"Shut up!"
Fu Hengze was full of resentment.
When he looked at Ning Yu again, he said cautiously, "Yu'er, I'll drive her away right now..."
Ning Yu seemed to be unable to withstand the blow. He took a few steps back and pulled his hand away.
"who is she?"
Fu Hengze pursed his lips and said, "It was she who saved me back then. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back... and she has already given her body to me..."
Ye Yuqian suddenly knelt in front of Ning Yu, tears welling in her eyes. "Sister, don't blame Brother Fu. It's all my fault. If I hadn't brought him the hangover soup, he wouldn't have..."
Ning Yu mocked Ye Yuqian expressionlessly, "I don't have a sister like you."
After saying that, Ning Yu looked at Fu Hengze again and said in a cold voice, "Go out. I'll calm down for a while."
Now she probably understood why Xie Huai said she would regret it.
He probably already knew that Fu Hengze had a concubine.
But I never told her, probably because I wanted her to see it with her own eyes.
Fu Hengze saw that there was no fluctuation in Ning Yu's eyes. Even if she was angry with him, perhaps he would feel a little at ease.
But Ning Yu didn't, instead she spoke to him in an unusually calm tone.
It made him feel inexplicably panicked.
Fu Hengze knew that he was in the wrong in this matter, and he didn't dare to say anything to Ning Yu, and spoke in a humble manner.
"Okay, call me if you need anything."
The door slammed shut.
Fu Hengze stood there for a long time, feeling lonely.
Ye Yuqian had never seen Fu Hengze being so subservient to a woman, and she felt jealous and resentful.
"Brother Fu, this is all my fault. If I had known, I wouldn't have followed you to the capital. How about I leave so that you can reconcile with your wife?"
"It has nothing to do with you. Go back to the yard first." Fu Hengze was a little impatient.
Ye Yuqian's face froze.
He glared at the door angrily before leaving.
*
When Mrs. Fu learned that Ning Yu had been welcomed into the Fu Mansion, she was so angry that her face turned pale. She looked at Ye Yuqian and said, "Don't worry, I will make the decision for you."
"Thank you, ma'am."
Ye Yuqian wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then whispered, "Madam, there's something I don't know whether to say or not. When I went to Madam's yard just now, I heard Brother Fu say that he and Madam were going to move out..."
Old Madam Fu's expression suddenly turned sinister, and she immediately sent for Fu Hengze to come over.
Soon, Fu Hengze arrived.
Old Madam Fu narrowed her eyes and said in a cold voice, "Ze'er, do you know why Master Xie took her in?"
