Li Mofu swallowed the roast chicken in his mouth and licked his lips. "What are you doing and where are you going? Are you worried about that rumor?"

"Rumors?" Lu Mingyun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "I'm not worried. I just think that on New Year's Day, we usually worship our ancestors and pray for their blessings. Now that I'm away and it's inconvenient to go back, I should go to the temple and pray for safety."

Li Mofu didn't care. He patted Lu Mingyun's hand that was pressing on him and said, "It's up to you. You decide."

"Have you also heard the rumor on the street?" Lu Mingyun asked, letting go of his hand.

Li Mofu nodded. "I heard about it when I left home today. What do you think is going on? Why are they always doing weird things?"

Lu Mingyun raised one corner of his mouth and smiled, "When Lin was locked up in the courtyard before, I also had people prepare some ghosts to scare her."

"So?" Li Mofu raised his eyebrows, not understanding what Lu Mingyun meant.

Lu Mingyun first snorted to express his dissatisfaction with Lin, and then said, "The reason I chose to scare her is because I can't kill her, but I don't want her to have an easy life."

"Although I don't know what the person who spread the rumor was trying to do, he should feel the same way."

Li Mofu blinked and sighed, "I didn't expect someone to hate you so much that they would chase you even after you came all the way to Su County."

"..." Lu Mingyun also admired Li Mofu's ability to understand. "That person doesn't want us to have a good life. Does that mean it must be because he hates me?"

Li Mofu nodded confidently, "Otherwise, it would be such a hassle, a waste of money and effort."

Li Mofu had originally wanted to ask about Lu Mingyun's current status in Su County, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. Even if he asked Lu Mingyun, he might not answer, and even if he did, he might not understand.

Lu Mingyun smiled bitterly, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what he said was right. "In any case, don't go out alone, and be careful at home. It feels like this matter is not over yet."

Li Mofu has lived here for a long time. He used to think it was scary because people had died here and there were ghost stories. But now he just feels that this is his territory and it is very safe.

"There are so many people in the yard, and the walls are so high and thick, what can happen?" Although Li Mofu was afraid of those gods and ghosts, he really didn't think that they could do anything to him.

"Unless," Li Mofu continued, "unless another expert comes to arrest me."

Lu Mingyun narrowed his eyes slightly. "Who knows if those men in black have followed us? It's better to be more careful."

Li Mofu was stunned. He was just assuming and didn't think those people would follow him. But if Lu Mingyun said so, then it was very likely...

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Seeing his expression changing again and again, Lu Mingyun ended the topic and raised his glass to clink with him. "Happy New Year and good health."

Li Mofu came back to his senses and subconsciously picked up the wine glass to clink with him, repeating what Lu Mingyun had just said, "Happiness and health, happiness and health."

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Li Mofu has spent New Year's Eve with Lu Mingyun. They were still in the Marquis' Mansion during last year's New Year. Did Lu Mingyun have New Year's Eve dinner with him?

Li Mofu thought about it carefully, but couldn't remember. It seemed like he had eaten it, but it also seemed like he hadn't?

"Wear more clothes tomorrow, it will be cold on the mountain." Lu Mingyun suddenly said.

Li Mofu pulled his attention away from his memories and said, "Oh, I see."

The next day, Guozi came into the house early to call Li Mofu. It was just dawn at that time.

"Young Master, Young Master, get up. Wash up and have breakfast. We will go to Lingqing Temple soon." Guozi patted the quilt covering Li Mofu and said softly.

Li Mofu hummed twice, arched the quilt, and then there was no movement.

Guozi called out helplessly twice, and seeing that Li Mofu really couldn't get up, he decided to do something else. In order to prevent Li Mofu from getting cold when he put on his clothes later, he took out his clothes and warmed them up.

After the clothes were warmed up, Guozi went to call Li Mofu again. This time, Li Mofu got up, but he was a little grumpy. "If I had known yesterday, I wouldn't have agreed to let your young master go to the temple. I'm so sleepy... I don't want to go..."
