When Lin Zhuwei woke up, it was already daybreak and the rain had stopped at some point.

I slept very warmly, and when I looked again, I found the fire on the ground was still burning.

Lin Zhuwei felt strange. The firewood last night could only burn for the time of one incense stick at most, but why did it burn all night?

His stomach was rumbling. After being hungry all night, Lin Zhuwei decided to just think of a way to get back first.

After tidying myself up simply, I stepped out of the cave, only to see a row of large footprints on the ground. I was stunned for a moment, then looked down carefully, and saw a square pendant dropped on the ground.

When he picked it up and took a look, Lin Zhuwei's heart was slightly shaken.

This was the tassel pendant inlaid on the belt that she bought herself and gave to Fu Junyan.

Could it be that this man came back to look for her again last night?

And he kept watch over her all night? And he gave her more firewood all night?

Looking back at the roaring fire, Lin Zhuwei felt warm in her heart and her face turned red. She stayed there for a moment before turning around and leaving.

"Young lady!"

Abu and Wuer's cries were heard from afar.

Lin Zhuwei also waved and walked back along the same path he took last night.

"Young Madam! I finally found you!" Abu quickly put the cloak in his hand on her.

"Why are you here? Did Fu Junyan ask you to come?"

"Young Madam, yes!" Wu Er quickly brought a stool and let Lin Zhuwei sit on the carriage.

"What about him?"

"The young master left the city early in the morning. He will be handling things outside the city for the next few days and will not be coming back."

Lin Zhuwei was relieved when he heard this. Otherwise, after what happened yesterday, he really didn't know how to face him.

When she got on the carriage, she found that it was filled with her favorite osmanthus cake and some other snacks.

Alas. This man was sometimes so attentive that she felt ashamed of herself.

How can she ask for the divorce papers?

Xuan'an Garden.

Fu Lifeng took out an exquisitely carved wooden box from the bookshelf, gently stroked the polished lid, and then slowly opened it, only to see a green star lying inside.

It turned out to be the star that Lin Zhuwei had woven herself and given to him.

Fu Lifeng picked it up and placed it in his palm, staring at it closely. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his deep black eyes.

After a long time, he put the star back into the box and put it in his sleeve pocket.

Then, he opened a secret compartment and saw a tablet inside with the words "Mother Jingyin's Place" written on it.

Fu Lifeng held it out respectfully and gently stroked the inscription on it with his fingers. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, which turned into cruelty, hidden in his cold heart, unknown to others.

He gently placed the tablet in the box, covered it, and then called out, "Xue Hao!"

Xue Hao walked in immediately: "Master, what can I do for you?"

"Burn this place down."

"Burned? Master, are we going somewhere?"

"Return to Fu Mansion."

It's time to go back. They've been out for too long, they've been living too comfortably, haven't they?

Fu Lifeng smiled sinisterly: "Do it secretly so that no one can see it."

"Yes!"

Fu Lifeng got on the carriage and not long after he left, he saw a raging fire coming from the direction of Xuan'an Garden.

He took a cold look, then lowered the window curtains, leaned back in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.

Fu Mansion.

When Fu Lifeng returned, he went to pay his respects to Old Madam Fu first.

"Is grandma okay?" Fu Lifeng smiled.

"Okay. Why are you back at this time? Have you had dinner?" asked Mrs. Fu.

Fu Lifeng said aggrievedly: "Grandma, I'm starving. Something happened in Xuan'an Garden and I didn't have time to eat."

"What would you like to eat? I'll ask the cook to prepare some." Mrs. Fu said with concern.

"Grandma, don't worry, I'll go eat something myself later."

Madam Fu nodded: "What's the matter with the courtyard you just mentioned?"

"Madam, Xuan'an Garden was set on fire." Xue Hao responded after saluting.

Madam Fu was nervous and asked, "Has the person been caught?"

"Not yet. I have sent someone to check."

"Could it be a business rival? You are a very cautious person, unlike Yan'er who likes to take advantage of a victory and leave no room for maneuver. You should not offend anyone."

"Don't worry, grandma. I can handle it." Fu Li smiled. "It's just that the house burned down and I have nowhere to live. I don't know if grandma will welcome me back."

Madam Fu smiled and shook her head at Grandma Song beside her: "Look at what this child is saying. This is your home, you can come back anytime. Besides, you are an unmarried person, what's the point of always wandering around outside?"

"Yes, the Second Young Master always likes to have fun with the Old Madam." Grandma Song also laughed, "Second Young Master, are you going back to the original courtyard? I have always sent people to clean that courtyard, and it is quite clean."

"Just the original yard."

"Then I will send someone to clean it up again and replace it with new bedding."

"Then I'll have to trouble Grandma Song."

Nanny Song agreed and went out with a smile.

She was really happy. The Second Young Master was gentle and tolerant towards servants like them. With him by her side, Old Madam Fu would definitely feel better.

"Where's Big Brother?"

"Your eldest brother has gone out of town on business and won't be back for a few days."

Fu Lifeng looked a little gloomy: "I wonder if Big Brother would mind if he knew I came back to live here?"

"Li Feng, your elder brother is not that kind of person. What happened in the past is in the past, and it is not your fault. It was that woman who was unfaithful to her husband and harmed you brothers for a long time."

When Aunt Qi was mentioned, Madam Fu showed dissatisfaction on her face and insisted, "Just come back and stay here with peace of mind. Your eldest brother won't dare to say anything!"

"Thank you, grandma." Fu Lifeng chuckled.

The two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Fu Lifeng said goodbye and went back.

He was having such a pleasant chat with Madam Fu that he forgot that he had not yet had dinner. His stomach was rumbling, so he simply walked towards the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, I saw a familiar figure in the kitchen.

Fu Lifeng smiled and leaned on the door sill, watching the busy figure.

There was a lot of noise in the kitchen. She was kneading dough, chopping vegetables, and beating eggs. It seemed like she was making a very complicated dish.

However, she didn't expect that after all her busy work, what came over was a burning smell.

She threw down the shovel in frustration and kicked the firewood next to her hard, but she hurt herself. She hugged her knees and cried out in pain.

"Sister-in-law. What delicious food are you making?"

It would be unfair to read on.

Fu Lifeng shouted with a smile.

Lin Zhuwei looked up, a little surprised, and smiled embarrassedly: "I originally wanted to make some food, but I didn't expect that these iron pots and pans are more obedient than abacus."

Hearing her analogy, Fu Lifeng laughed even more wantonly: "What does sister-in-law want to eat? Why not wake up the cook to make it?"

"I plan to make a pancake. The cook may not know how to make it." Lin Zhuwei said with a smile.

Suddenly, I had the urge to try some Tianjin Jianbing.

The fruits here are also very unique, but I just wanted to try the previous flavors.

It’s a pity that I’m a “kitchen blind” and I worked myself into a sweat, but only got a plate of something that tasted like burnt charcoal.

Fu Lifeng looked at the dish and laughed. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you give me a hand and teach me. Maybe I can do it."

Lin Zhuwei was surprised: "You can actually cook?"
