Since then, Fu Yichen always felt a little uneasy, as if he was afraid that someone would suddenly appear and snatch Su Yun away. So he sent more people to guard the courtyard closely.

Every night, he was like a possessed man, insisting on sleeping in the same room with Su Yun. The intimacy almost made Su Yun breathless.

In this way, the days passed by quietly and slowly like flowing water.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and then another month slipped away.

During these two months, Lu Yuankai really has not shown up.

However, Su Yun would occasionally receive love letters from him secretly.

The words in the letter were full of affection. He said that he had important things to do now, but in his heart, he was thinking of Su Yun all the time.

In fact, Lu Yuankai was also quite helpless. Fu Yichen had sent so many experts to guard the courtyard like an iron barrel. Even if he wanted to see Su Yun, it was really inconvenient.

That night, after a passionate and heartwarming love affair, Fu Yichen held Su Yun tightly in his arms, gently stroking her hair and whispering, "I have to go out of town to do something. It will take two days. You have to be a good boy at home."

When Su Yun heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, and she felt so relieved. She thought to herself, "Oh, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

After all, Fu Yichen had been like a madman, pestering her every day for more than a month. Now, whenever she saw Fu Yichen, she felt scared.

Fu Yichen was such a smart man that he immediately noticed the joy in Su Yun's eyes. He immediately became dissatisfied and reached out to pinch Su Yun's nose, pretending to be angry and said, "What's the matter? I just said I was leaving, and you're so happy?"

Su Yun hurriedly shook his head and said hastily: "No, how could that be!"

Fu Yichen snorted and warned, "It's better not to! After I leave, you are not allowed to go out. I will send someone to keep an eye on you. Just stay here and wait for me to come back, understand?"

Su Yun nodded obediently and replied, "Okay, I understand."

The next morning, before dawn, Fu Yichen packed up and left the courtyard.

After that, Su Yun's life became quite peaceful.

Every day, she planted flowers, read books, and practiced calligraphy. She was quite comfortable. But occasionally, she would stare at the love letters sent by Lu Yuankai, and no one knew what she was thinking.

-

The third day after Fu Yichen left.

The sunlight shines through the mottled leaves and onto the bluestone road in the courtyard. Everything seems to be still calm, but it is broken by a burst of hurried footsteps.

The maids Jixiang and Ruyi hurriedly ran in from outside the courtyard. Their faces were pale and their eyes were filled with disbelief and anxiety.

Jixiang didn't even have time to catch his breath before he spoke anxiously, "Miss, Miss, this is terrible! Master Fu...he's getting married!"

As she spoke, her eyes widened and her face was filled with shock.

Ruyi also echoed from the side, quickly adding, "Yes, Miss, we just heard people outside are saying it. They say that yesterday, when Master Fu was out on business, he met a woman who was absolutely beautiful, like a fairy. Master Fu fell in love with her at first sight and decided to marry her on the spot. He has already announced a wedding date, which is the fifth day of next month, ten days away. It seems that Master Fu really likes her and is so eager to marry her!"

Ruyi spoke while gesturing with her hands, her face full of indignation.

After hearing this, Jixiang couldn't help but stamp his feet and said angrily, "Humph, I never thought Master Fu was such a heartless person! He used to be so devoted to you, my lady. He was by your side every day, caring about you and being so considerate. We all thought...we thought he was sincere to you. But who could have thought that in the blink of an eye, he would be getting married to someone else? This is so disheartening!"

Ruyi also nodded repeatedly and echoed, "That's right, Miss, look at what this has caused. Before, he was acting like that, and we all thought you'd have someone to rely on in the future. But now, look, he's changed so suddenly. How could he treat you like this?"

As she spoke, Ruyi looked at Su Yun with heartache, her eyes slightly red.

Su Yun sat there, stunned at first, and almost dropped the scroll in his hand. It took him a while to come back to his senses. His face was full of loneliness and self-mockery. He slowly said, "Forget it. He is the great master. How can I dare to hope to stay by his side forever? This... maybe it's fate."

Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with unconcealable sadness.

Jixiang was very unhappy when he heard this. He hurried to Su Yun's side, took her hand and persuaded her, "Miss, please don't say that! You are so kind, but he doesn't know how to cherish you. That's because he has no vision. Please don't be too sad. It's not worth it to get upset."

Ruyi also came over and said angrily, "That's right, Miss, there's no need to feel sad for someone like him. Maybe there's some misunderstanding here. Why don't we ask someone about it?"

Su Yun shook his head lightly, smiled bitterly and said, "No need. Regardless of whether there is a misunderstanding or not, the matter has already come to this. Let him be."

After she finished speaking, she sighed softly and looked out the window, her thoughts drifting off to who knows where...
