Lu Sui Xin wanted to discuss something with Fu Chuji, but when he saw Fu Chuji looking at the letter in his hand with a serious look, he didn't dare to speak.

After lunch, Fu Chuji personally sent Lu Suixin back to the general's mansion. Lu Yuan had been sent back to the general's mansion early by Lu Suixin, asking him to convey a message that he would not be going back for dinner.

Lu Suixin walked in with Fu Chuji and asked worriedly, "Is my father still holding a grudge against me?"

Seeing Lu Suixin's frightened look, Fu Chuji smiled and said, "General Lu won't be like this."

"Of course not!" Lu Sui Xin was about to refute when Lu Lanjiang's voice came from behind, "You little bastard! Why are you saying bad things about your father in front of others!"

Lu Suixin was frightened by Lu Lanjiang and stood up straight. She cleverly hid behind Fu Chuji, stuck her head out and said to Lu Lanjiang, "Dad, no matter what grudges I have against you, just let it go."

Lu Lanjiang put his hands behind his back, stared at Lu Suixin with dignity, and said, "You finally found some reinforcements!"

Fu Chuji had his back to Lu Lanjiang, so Lu Lanjiang didn't know who the reinforcements Lu Suixin brought back were.

Fu Chuji turned around and said to Lu Lanjiang, "General Lu, I will send Master Lu back to Fushan."

Lu Lanjiang didn't expect Fu Chuji to accompany Lu Suixin back. When Lu Suixin went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent someone to say that Lu Suixin was at his house and there was no need to worry, and that he would be well taken care of. Unexpectedly, not only was he well taken care of, but he was even sent back personally.

Lu Lanjiang didn't know how Lu Suixin got so close to Fu Chuji. Lu Lanjiang approached and bowed to Fu Chuji, saying, "Thank you, Prime Minister. I'm sorry for bothering you these past few days."

"That's not the case." said Fu Chuji.

Seeing Ling Xiang approaching from not far away, Lu Sui Xin hurriedly ran over to greet her, "Mom!"

Ling Xiang held Lu Suixin's hands, her eyes full of smiles. She stretched out her hand and gently scratched Lu Suixin's nose, pretending to scold him: "You kid, why do you get into trouble when your mother is not at home?"

Lu Sui Xin pursed his lips and said, "I had my reasons. Dad only knew how to beat me. If I don't run away, you won't be able to see me when you come back."

Ling Xiang glared at Lu Sui Xin lovingly and said, "Your father has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

"Mom," Lu Sui Xin said coquettishly, "But when Dad hits me, it really hurts."

"Have you ever visited your grandmother?" Ling Xiang asked.

Lu Suixin shook her head and said, "My son just came home and hasn't had time to visit his grandmother yet."

Ling Xiang: "Then remember to visit your grandmother later."

Ling Xiang walked up to Fu Chuji, bowed, and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Prime Minister. If you don't mind, you can stay in the mansion for dinner and then go back."

Fu Chuji glanced at Lu Suixin and said, "Okay."

Ling Xiang was just being polite. After all, Fu Chuji and Lu Lanjiang had no interactions in the court. She didn't expect Fu Chuji to actually agree to stay for dinner.

After Lu Suixin paid her respects to her grandmother, she saw Fu Chuji standing in the yard, looking at something. Lu Suixin thought Fu Chuji wanted to take a look, so she said, "Shall I take you around the mansion? It's still early for dinner."

Fu Chuji: "Okay."

Lu Suixin took Fu Chuji around and introduced the places they passed by one by one. When they arrived at the weapon room, there was an arena outside the yard. Lu Suixin looked at the arena and recalled: "My brother used to like to practice martial arts here the most. My father would accompany my brother to practice here whenever he was free. When I was a child, I was also forced to practice for a while. Maybe it was because I really had no talent, so my father didn't care about me later. I just ate, drank and had fun."

When they reached a place, Lu Suixin stopped and said, "This is where my father works. No one except my father can go in. Let's go back."

Lu Sui Xin turned and left. He didn't notice that Fu Chuji looked inside a few more times before looking away.

Lu Suixin took Fu Chuji back to his yard, sat in the courtyard, and said, "I haven't been back for a long time. I feel a little strange."

There were cakes and pastries prepared by Ling Xiang on the table. Lu Sui Xin discovered that there was also her favorite milk. She said happily, "My mother is really thoughtful. She prepared my favorite milk right after she came back. Come and try it. It's delicious."

Fu Chuji picked up the milk on the table, took a sip, and said, "It's really delicious."

Seeing that he had been recognized, Lu Sui Xin said happily: "It tastes good, right? When you leave, I'll have someone prepare some for you to take with you."

Lu Suixin was about to drink the milk in the bowl, but for some reason, her wrist suddenly hurt. She lost her strength and most of the bowl of milk spilled on her body. Lu Suixin stood up in shock, "Why did it spill for no reason?"

Fu Chuji took out a handkerchief to help Lu Suixin wipe the milk stains on her clothes, but she didn't expect the stain to become even worse.

Lu Suixin pouted and said unhappily, "Forget it, forget it. I'd better go take a shower and change my clothes. Excuse me."

"It's okay." Fu Chuji said, "I'll just enjoy the scenery in the yard."

Lu Suixin was afraid that Fu Chuji would be bored, so she said, "You can tell the people in the yard what to get. Don't be restrained."

Fu Chuji: "Okay."

As soon as Lu Sui Xin left, Fu Chuji looked at the dense branches next to him and saw a person squatting on the tree.

After a while, it disappeared into the corner.

……

After Lu Lanjiang entertained Fu Chuji well, he personally sent Fu Chuji out of the house with a smile. He did not put away his smile until the carriage disappeared around the corner.

The smile on Ling Xiang's face also disappeared, replaced by a look of inquiry, "Prime Minister Fu has nothing to do with us, why would he be willing to let Xin'er live in his house for such a long time?"

Lu Lanjiang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the direction where the carriage disappeared, and said: "What he did today was nothing unusual. It seems that he is not trying to win us over. If he really wants to help Xin'er out of kindness, it can be regarded as a good relationship. I am afraid that he has other intentions."

Fu Chuji was sitting in the carriage, resting his eyes, when Ah Si appeared in front of him in his night clothes. Fu Chuji opened his eyes and asked, "Have you finished what I asked you to do?"

Ah Si knelt on the ground and replied, "There are too many guards there. I am sorry that I am incompetent and did not find a chance to get close."

"Of course." Fu Chuji said, "If you can enter so easily by yourself, it is really strange."

Ah Si said, "Sir, Minister Zhang sent a letter."

Fu Chuji: "Speak."

Ah Si said, "Lu Suiyuan will be returning to Beijing in a while. Then it will be a good time to catch him in one fell swoop."

Fu Chuji said calmly: "I understand."
