If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Fu Jinyi followed Lu Yuan happily.

"Brother, why didn't you ask me how I could recognize you as my brother at first sight?"

"How did you recognize it?" Lu Yuan asked.

"My uncle said you look like father, and it's true, but you are more handsome," said Fu Jinyi.

"As soon as I saw you, I knew you were my brother."

Lu Yuan turned around and looked at him, "How did you get rid of the guards?"

"I found a young eunuch who is about the same size as me and pretended to be sick." Fu Jinyi said in a low voice.

"What if you get sick while traveling alone?" Lu Yuan pursed his lips.

Fu Jinyi was a little scared when he saw that he had a stern face and seemed very angry.

"Brother, you really look like my mother scolding me." Fu Jinyi lowered his head, "If I hadn't pretended to be sick, they wouldn't have let me come to see you."

She was willing to accompany him out of the palace just to make him happy.

When they are about to leave the city, they will bring him back to the palace.

"I haven't been sick for a long time. The imperial physician said that as long as I am happy every day, my illness will get better."

Lu Yuan thought about what Zhou Zhou said. Any disease has countless possibilities. If the little prince is happy, maybe his disease can really be cured?

"Brother, I just want to see you." Fu Jinyi's eyes dimmed.

"My uncle said you didn't want to go back to the Southern Dynasty, so I wanted to come and see you. I can't die without even meeting my own brother."

"..." Lu Yuan sighed helplessly in his heart.

"This is Yong Dynasty, don't say your name is Fu Jinyi."

"I'll take you back first."

Fu Jinyi's eyes sparkled instantly, "Okay, brother."

Lu Yuan had been used to being alone since he was a child, and suddenly he had a blood-related younger brother, and he felt an unprecedented warmth towards him.

It was different from those people in the Lu family who were reluctant to call him "big brother".

It was the first time that someone looked at him with such admiration and expectation, expecting a response from him.

"Brother, don't tell my uncle that I'm in Shangjing City yet. I'm afraid he will send someone to take me back immediately." Fu Jinyi pleaded with Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at him, "Your uncle's people are already on the way, there's no need for me to tell them."

“……”Fu Jinyi sighed.

"Then brother, you must cherish the days I spend in Shangjing. We never know when we will meet again in the future."

Lu Yuan hummed.

He brought Fu Jinyi back to the Duke's Mansion and entered the Chuihua Gate. He saw Shen Suian and Ruan already waiting outside the Chuihua Gate.

"Aunt!" Fu Jinyi screamed and was about to run towards Ruan.

Ruan was so frightened that she called out to him, "Don't run, walk slowly."

Fu Jinyi slowed down with a smile.

Shen Suian looked at the little prince of the Southern Dynasty curiously.

A few days ago, her third aunt told her that the little prince was missing, and she guessed that he might have come to Shangjing City.

Today I finally saw the real person.

It was different from what she imagined.

"Let's talk inside first." Lu Yuan said in a low voice.

Fu Jinyi has a special identity, so he should try to keep a low profile.

"Aunt San, let him stay in the Duke's Mansion first and tell others that he is your nephew." Lu Yuan said.

Ruan glared at the little prince who was sitting obediently beside her, "Just wait for the Queen to punish you."

"Aunt, don't scare me." Fu Jinyi held his heart.

"What's wrong with you?" Ruan was immediately frightened.

It was the first time that Shen Sui'an saw Ruan so uneasy, and he looked at Fu Jinyi in surprise.

Fu Jinyi said weakly, "I have a disease that makes me unable to hear the words 'empress'."

“…” Ruan felt her fists clenched.

Shen Sui'an couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Fu Jinyi looked at Shen Suian, quickly stood up, and bowed to Shen Suian.

"Jin Yi has met sister-in-law."

Shen Suian stood up and tried to avoid his courtesy. After all, the other party was still the prince of the Southern Dynasty.

Ruan held her hand and said, "He is Lu Yuan's biological brother, and you are his sister-in-law. You deserve this gift."

"That's right." Fu Jinyi nodded vigorously.

"I didn't send a gift to my sister-in-law and brother's wedding, but I will deliver it soon," said Fu Jinyi.

"Your Highness, it's not that your aunt wants to say anything to you, but even if you want to come to the capital, you shouldn't leave those guards behind. Don't you know that it's too dangerous?"

"If I hadn't met your brother this time, who would have saved you if you fainted on the road?"

“I don’t know what’s going to happen yet.”

Fu Jinyi lowered his head, looking guilty, "I know I was wrong, my brother has already scolded me."

He knew he had been cheated. The mother and daughter often used this trick to cheat people out of their money, but he was the only one who was foolish enough to take out his purse.

Shen Sui'an looked at the originally lively and cute boy and suddenly became dispirited. This obedient and well-behaved boy was completely different from the little prince she had imagined.

She seemed to have some petty thoughts before, thinking that the Queen and the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty were not sincere in wanting Lu Yuan to return.

The little prince is a very kind person.

Lu Yuan took out the purse he had taken from the mother and daughter and said, "Don't trust others easily in the future."

"I understand, brother." Fu Jinyi said.

Ruan's eyes moved between the two brothers.

Lu Yuan didn't seem to mind the little prince calling him brother, so she knew that no one would dislike the little prince.

If my sister knew this, she would be so happy.

Ruan's nose suddenly felt sore. She turned her head and wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes.

"I heard that His Highness fainted from hunger? I asked someone to prepare some lighter food and have it served up." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

People who are too hungry should not eat too much meat and fish right away, otherwise their stomachs will not be able to bear it.

She heard from her third aunt that the little prince was weak and should pay more attention to his diet.

"Sister-in-law, I want to eat Roujiamo..." Fu Jinyi couldn't forget the fragrance.

Ruan sneered, "You still want to eat Roujiamo, I think you are about to become Roujiamo."

Shen Sui'an suppressed his laughter and said, "When you have recovered in a couple of days, I will have someone buy some for you."

"Lu Yuan, Suisui, you guys just keep an eye on him and don't let him do anything rash. I'll go report this to the Duke." Ruan said.

After all, I'm going to stay in the Duke's Mansion, so it's only right and reasonable to inform my elders.

"Nephew? Is he Prime Minister Ruan's son?" Duke Lu was a little surprised.

Ruan Xinglin had just returned to the Southern Dynasty not long ago, and his son came again.

"The young man heard that I was in Shangjing City and had never traveled far, so he came to see me." Ruan revealed Fu Jinyi's identity vaguely.

"We are all relatives, so we should treat them well." Duke Lu nodded.

"It's just that the Southern Dynasty envoy assassinated Lu Yuan that day. I wonder if Lu Yuan would have other ideas."

Ruan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Lu Yuan is a commander, he shouldn't bother with a child."

"Besides, the person who assassinated him has nothing to do with the Ruan family. To be honest, our Ruan family also hopes that the He family can be confiscated as soon as possible."

When Duke Lu heard this, he was speechless.

"That's good. You are a guest here, Third Brother's wife, so you should treat her well."
