"My Lord, why are you here so late at night?" Lu Zhiran tried his best to make his voice sound calm.

Fu Yuzhang did not answer Lu Zhiran's question immediately, but just looked at her coldly. Lu Zhiran felt a little numb from being stared at by Fu Yuzhang.

Just when she thought Fu Yuzhang would make a fuss.

He strode over and ignored Mu Qizon's existence, as if he and Lu Zhiran were the only two people in the world.

"This is the Fu Mansion. Is it weird that I'm here?"

"Also, why are your clothes torn? And why did you make yourself so miserable? When you left home this morning, didn't your grandmother arrange a coachman and a servant for you?"

"Why are you the only one back with this little maid?"

Fu Yuzhang was at home, and was a little anxious when he saw Lu Zhiran hadn't come back so late.

So I walked around the door, hoping to see Lu Zhiran first.

Unexpectedly, at the right moment, I saw Lu Zhiran and Mu Qizong standing together.

Originally, Fu Yuzhang was very angry when he saw Lu Zhiran and Mu Qizong standing together, but after he realized that something was wrong with Lu Zhiran, he temporarily put these issues aside.

"My lord, we encountered bandits when we came back!" Zixiang looked at Fu Yuzhang and said.

Hearing this, Fu Yuzhang looked at Lu Zhiran again, this time examining him from head to toe. Only after confirming that Lu Zhiran had no particularly obvious wounds did Fu Yuzhang feel relieved. However, even so, his brows were still furrowed, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

He calmed himself down and pretended not to care and asked, "Bandits? Are you injured?"

Lu Zhiran shook his head and said calmly: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, we are not injured, we are just a little frightened."

Seeing that Lu Zhiran didn't intend to talk too much about what happened just now.

Zixiang took over the conversation and complained indignantly for Lu Zhiran: "Those bandits are so abominable. Not only did they rob our property, they also killed the groom and the servants. If it weren't for the young lady's wit, I'm afraid we would..."

As she spoke, Zixiang's eyes turned red.

When I think back to what happened just now, it seems to be still vivid in my mind.

When Fu Yuzhang heard this, his anger grew even stronger.

He clenched his fists, as if he wanted to tear those bandits into pieces. He looked at Lu Zhiran, his eyes full of worry and relief.

Fortunately, Lu Zhiran is fine.

"I'm sorry, I should have gone with you this morning when Grandma asked you to go to the farm."

Fu Yuzhang's voice was low and full of guilt.

If he had gone with Lu Zhiran, she wouldn't have been so frightened.

When Lu Zhiran heard Fu Yuzhang say this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

She shook her head gently, went up and pulled Fu Yuzhang's hand. Her hand was placed in Fu Yuzhang's palm. Fu Yuzhang felt very cold, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on Lu Zhiran's hand.

Lu Zhiran said softly: "My Lord, this is none of your business. No one expected to encounter bandits on the way back."

Fu Yuzhang's brows immediately relaxed when he heard Lu Zhiran's words.

On the side, Mu Qizon stood quietly, his eyes fell on Lu Zhiran's hand that was gently placed on Fu Yuzhang's palm.

The intimate gestures and the tacit eye contact all made him feel dazzling, as if a thorn had pierced deeply into his heart.

Seeing that Fu Yuzhang's mood had improved, Lu Zhiran took the opportunity to explain his previous actions.

Her voice was calm and firm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her: "My Lord, you should thank your brother-in-law and his friends!"

"After Zixiang and I ran out, we met them. I was afraid that those bandits would catch up with us again, and then we two women would be unsafe, so I specifically asked them to take us back to the Marquis' Mansion."

Lu Zhiran explained in a few words why she stood with Mu Qizon just now.

It turns out that’s the reason!

Originally, the incident with the bandits had dealt a heavy blow to Fu Yuzhang.

He even forgot about being jealous for a while.

Now it is clear where the whole thing came from.

Fu Yuzhang was in a good mood, and when he looked at Mu Qizon, he didn't look as hostile anymore.

"I see. Thank you, Mr. Mu, for your help." Fu Yuzhang said politely, his tone revealing some genuine gratitude.

Seeing this, Lu Zhiran felt relieved.

Fu Yuzhang is a jealous person. If I don't explain clearly, I'm afraid he will start to have wild thoughts and then secretly cause trouble. It's better to resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible.

Now seeing Fu Yuzhang like this, she can feel relieved.

Mu Qizon was in a bad mood, but he concealed it well.

He smiled slightly and waved his hand to Fu Yuzhang: "You are too polite, my Lord. Madam is my wife's sister. We are a family. As her brother-in-law, I can't just sit back and do nothing."

There is nothing wrong with what Mu Qizon said.

But Fu Yuzhang just didn't like what he heard.

"It's too late today. I will pick a good time another day to personally thank Master Mu."

As he spoke, Fu Yuzhang looked at Lu Zhiran, took Lu Zhiran's hand again, and said gently: "Zhiran, let's go back."

Lu Zhiran nodded, said goodbye to Mu Qizon, and returned to the Marquis' Mansion with Fu Yuzhang.

Mu Qizon and his classmates watched the door of Fu Mansion close.

Then he walked back slowly.

"Brother Mu, I just saw that your sister-in-law and the devil Fu Yuzhang have a good relationship! Brother Mu, it seems that you have to go back and treat your wife well. Your sister-in-law will speak for you in front of Master Fu."

"This position is easy to obtain."

Although Fu Yuzhang did not hold any official position, his grandfather and father both sacrificed their lives for the emperor's country.

Therefore, the emperor felt very guilty towards Fu Yuzhang.

From time to time, he would be summoned to the palace to see if he was still alive and well.

It can be said that Fu Yuzhang is someone who can have a say in front of the emperor!

Logically speaking, because of this relationship, Fu Yuzhang should have been able to get along well in Kyoto, but unfortunately this troublemaker didn't care about anyone's business and caused trouble everywhere, and finally ended up in a disgusting situation.

Hearing his classmate say this, Mu Qizong felt extremely humiliated.

The words he said were a little more angry.

"unnecessary!"

The classmate was also shocked by Mu Qizong's decisive words. After coming to his senses, the friend just felt a little funny: "Brother Mu, why are you so angry? Because you can't stand that young Marquis Fu, you are not such a stubborn person in the past!"

Mu Qizon then realized that he had lost his composure.

"It's okay, let's not talk about this topic anymore, let's go back!"

The classmate raised his eyebrows, keenly aware of Mu Qizong's rejection of Fu Yuzhang.

"it is good!"
