"Xiao Wei'er, if you keep making random guesses like this, I'll get angry." Chu Batian said with a deliberately stern face.

"Uncle Chu, with your temper, if I was just making random guesses, why didn't you refute me when I said the first sentence?" Yuan Buwei looked at Chu Batian with a smile.

Until the smile on Chu Batian's face turned into seriousness.

“Uncle Chu, I have always respected you, so I hope you can tell us the truth.”

Chu Batian was silent for a long time, then he sighed: "Bu Wei, your brain works quickly, nothing can be hidden from you."

When Yuan Buwei saw Lu Sui heard this, he clenched his fists and his breathing became rapid.

Immediately hold his hand and give him strength.

"Yes, you guessed it right. I am the Canglang King's man. People like me are scattered all over Dazhao, doing business, teaching, and farming. They are all arranged by the master so that he can know what is happening in Dazhao without leaving the border. Of course, there are also such people in enemy countries. So it seems that the master can win every battle, but it is better to say that he is thoughtful. As for me, I originally opened a Yueshang branch in the capital according to his wishes to collect intelligence among the officials in the capital."

“So, even though he couldn’t return to Beijing in these years, he knew everything that went on in the capital?” Lu Sui clenched his fists so hard that they made a crackling sound.

"He knows all this not because he wants to rebel, but because he's afraid that the emperor will think he's more powerful than the emperor. If he doesn't know more about the movements in the capital, the emperor might die without knowing how." Chu Batian was anxious to defend his master. "Besides, it's not just for his own safety. After all, he has so many subordinates..."

"Yes, he is not alone. He has soldiers under his command and countless people who need him to save. But he doesn't care about me." Lu Sui interrupted Chu Batian and said sarcastically.

"Young Marquis Lu, the master actually cares about you very much. When he learned that you were injured, he was extremely worried and wanted to rush back to the capital to see you, but..."

"Don't explain. When I was just born, my good mother heard that my good father was injured, so she pretended to be dead and left, leaving me an orphan. When I grew up, I finally accepted that I only had a father, but then she told me that my father was not my father, and my biological parents were still alive. It was just because they had more important things to do that they had no choice but to give up on me? Uncle Chu, tell me, should I put aside the past, forgive them, and then follow their footsteps? When I have children in the future, should I do the same thing? When my children grow up and question me, I will say that this is how I have been living since I was a child. What do you have that you can't accept?"

Lu Sui's words were full of sarcasm.

Yuan Buwei knew that Lu Sui wanted to vent, so she let him talk.

But Uncle Chu's words reminded her.

"In other words, when Lu Sui was carried back, you had already delivered the news to them?"

Chu Batian nodded: "Yes, 800 miles in an expedited manner, basically we will know in a few days."

Now it was Yuan Buwei's turn to stand up.

She remembered dreaming about the end of Lu Sui in her previous life. If that was the case, why would they come back only when they received the news that Lu Sui had committed suicide?

"They had already set off, but the day before, the refugees suddenly rioted. In their efforts to quell the riot, the master and his wife were both injured. It took them several months to recover from their injuries. After they recovered, they had to deal with the refugees and help them rebuild their homes. They were indispensable in every link, so..."

"Uncle Chu, I understand their love for their people, but no matter what, they can't hide the fact that they are still alive, right?" Yuan Buwei sighed, "Others may not know how to describe it, but don't I know? A child without a father or a mother is like a weed, anyone can step on it. If I have grievances, I can talk to my brothers, sisters, and master, but when Lu Sui is wronged, he can only talk to his biological mother's tombstone."

"Then...should I write a letter now and ask them to send someone back? Or..."

"No need. I came here today to ask Uncle Chu about Yue Shangshao. Now that we have the answer, we should leave." Yuan Buwei went to hold Lu Sui's hand, "Uncle Chu, you should be able to contact them and tell them that Lu Sui knows about their existence and will not forgive them. Let them just pretend that Lu Sui is not their son."

"Yes, Awei is right. I am Lu Sui. My father is the Marquis of Wanning, and my mother is the wife of the Marquis of Wanning. I don't recognize any other cats or dogs."

Done.

Lu Sui took Yuan Buwei's hand and walked out of the room.

Chu Batian was left standing alone in the room, feeling lost.

"I'm done for now. One is the young master, and the other is the big master. I don't know which side to help." Chu Batian has experienced so many ups and downs, but for the first time at this moment, he covered his face and wanted to cry.

The four stewards did not dare to enter, but just stayed at the door, whispering.

Coming out from the moon, Yuan Buwei looked at Lu Sui who had been silent the whole time and pulled his hand: "It's rare for us to come out, how about we go to the market? I heard that there is a night market every night in the west market. Let's go and join in the fun?"

"Avi wants to go?"

"Come on, stay with me."

Yuan Buwei pulled Lu Sui along and ran forward: "Let's put all our worries behind us today and have a good day."

Lu Sui looked at Yuan Buwei's running back, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

At night, there are stars.

The market was crowded with people and there were too many stalls to keep up with. Yuan Buwei looked at this and that and wanted to buy everything.

It was a rare opportunity for Lu Sui to show off, so he took the item that Yuan Buwei only wanted to take a look at and asked directly for its price.

Then, Li Yan and Chen, who followed them out, were both swallowed up by various paper bags.

"Let's go to the front and have a bowl of wontons."

"it is good."

Just as the three of them walked towards the last empty seat at the wonton stall, two people, a man and a woman, took the lead and sat down: "Waiter, two bowls of wontons."

Lu Sui frowned and glanced at the two men's attire. They seemed to be wearing clothes from the capital, but the things hanging around their waists and on their heads, plus their accents, showed that they were from other provinces.

"You two are a bit unfair. This is the seat we liked, but you came all the way here and snatched it away?" Yuan Buwei had been walking for quite some time and her stomach was already growling with hunger. Moreover, it was obvious that these two men had come to grab the seat on purpose, because when they sat down, they put their feet on the extra empty stools. Originally, an octagonal table was more than enough for ten people, not to mention that with the two of them, there would only be six people.
