Knowing that he couldn't get any useful information from Hua Chaochao, Naitu at the back became so quiet that he seemed like a different person, as if the person who was talking nonstop in front was not him.

Instead, Hua Chaochao started to become more talkative.

She took the initiative to ask about Naito's name and the reason why he came to the Li family as a guard, but Naito made up some excuses to deal with them.

Soon, the two finally arrived at the courtyard where Hua Chaochao lived.

Pushing open the gate, Hua Chaochao was about to say "Wait a minute, I'll go in and get the map" when she saw Yi Mu walking out of the house.

Both parties were stunned.

"Yi--" When Naito saw the man coming out, his eyes widened and he blurted out a word, but he stopped talking the next second, blinked quickly, and even raised his hand to rub his eyes, then opened them again with a look of confusion.

Strange, I seemed to have seen Master Yi Mu just now.

Yi Mu also reacted at this time and looked at Hua Chaochao with an innocent face:

I didn't know you brought him.

Hua Chaochao was so speechless that she wanted to look up to the sky. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and changed Yi Mu's face in time, otherwise they would have been exposed!

With Naitu's intelligence, at that moment he would have thought that he had seen it wrong.

"What did you just say?" Hua Chaochao turned her head and asked blankly.

"Nothing, I was mistaken." Naito scratched his head. He had confirmed that the man in front of him was not a familiar face.

That’s right, how could Master Yi Mu be here? He must be seeing things.

Hua Chaochao didn't ask any more questions, just said: "I'll go get you a map now."

Naito: "Thank you Miss Ye."

When Hua Chaochao entered the house, she also pulled Yi Mu, who was standing at the door, into the inner room and gnashed her teeth in his ear, "Just wait for me."

It looked as if he was going to teach Yi Mu a lesson.

Yi Mu didn't dare to resist and was pulled in by Hua Chaochao obediently. After entering, he stood in the corner like a primary school student being punished, not moving at all.

Hua Chaochao walked straight to the cabinet and took out the map. Without even looking at the person by the wall, he took the map out and handed it to Naitu.

Naito took the map, thanked him again, and left in a hurry.

Hua Chaochao watched Nai Tu walk away, then returned to the house, slammed the door, crossed her arms, and looked at Yi Mu questioningly: "Why are you still here? Didn't I tell you to leave?"

She thought Yi Mu had left, so she brought Naitu here with confidence.

As a result, something bad almost happened.

Yi Mu also knew that he almost ruined Hua Chaochao's plan, and replied with a guilty look on his face: "The flowers haven't been watered yet, I want to finish watering them before leaving."

Ever since Yi Mu came here, he has been taking care of the flowers in the yard.

Under his careful care, the oleander is now growing very well.

Hua Chaochao laughed angrily when she heard the answer, "So the flowers are watered?"

Yi Mu nodded.

Not only did he water the plant, he also trimmed the branches and leaves to make the oleander look more beautiful and tidy.

After nodding, he just stared at Hua Chaochao, and his little appearance looked a little pitiful.

Although Hua Chaochao knew that Yi Mu was deliberately delaying time, she couldn't bear to say anything to him when she saw his cute face.

What did he do wrong? He just loved her too much and couldn't bear to leave her.

Alas, there is really nothing we can do about him.

"Then when do you plan to leave?" Hua Chaochao's tone softened and she asked helplessly.

Yi Mu knew from her tone that Hua Chaochao had calmed down. His eyes lit up immediately, and he walked forward quickly, asking tentatively, "In the evening?"

Hua Chaochao roughly calculated the time it would take to get from Lianhua Island to Xuanzhou, and thought it would be okay to leave at night, so she said, "It's up to you."

……

Fu Lan finally opened the letter Ji Yuzhen left for him.

The letter was not thick, only two sheets of paper.

Fu Lan's hands were shaking as he slowly unfolded the letter.

【Ayi, when you read this letter, I will no longer be here. I am sorry to say goodbye to you in this way.

As you thought, I had already guessed that the aristocratic family would attack me, and it is very likely that I would die there, but I am not afraid, Ayi, I know very well that under your calm face, you have a burning heart. Your mind is active and you yearn for freedom. The aristocratic family suppressed your nature and almost turned you into an emotionless robot.

I don't want you to live in the shadow of the family for the rest of your life. My Ayi should be like an eagle, breaking through this dark cage and soaring in the vast sky. So I want to give it a try. When the family comes to me, I will talk to them and try to get them to let you go. Even if the chance is slim, I want to fight for it even if there is a slight possibility.

Unfortunately, I failed. Well, it's not a big deal. I just lost my life. But what about you? What about Weizhen? He's still so young.

I wish I could watch Weizhen grow up and protect him through the ups and downs of this world. But now, this burden can only be handed over to you. Ayi, you must take good care of him, and give him enough love and warmth along with my share.

I know this is hard for you, but you have to hold on. Don't let Wei Zhen be hurt by the family, let him grow up without worries.

Ayi, don't be sad about my passing. I don't regret my choice, and I hope you don't regret it either. You should keep the kindness and integrity in your heart and set a good example for Weizhen.

If possible, please tell him that his mother is a very brave person and loves him very much. Of course, I love you the most, because I used all my tricks to get you.

That’s all I have to say. Ayi, take good care of yourself and Weizhen. I will silently protect you in another world.

——Yuzhen, who loves you forever. 】

Fu Lan looked at the words on the letter and tears suddenly blurred his vision. The letter slipped from his trembling hands and fell to the ground with a slight and crisp sound.

His heart seemed to be torn apart. The severe pain made him unable to stand. He squatted down in pain, choking with sobs: "Yuzhen, how can you be so cruel..."

I'm so cruel to abandon him like this...

It was all his fault. He was greedy and wanted to live an ordinary life. It was because of him that Yuzhen fell into the hands of the aristocratic family.

If it weren't for him, Yuzhen wouldn't have died.

Thinking of this, Fu Lan's chest heaved violently, and the pain in his heart surged like a tide, almost drowning him.

After an unknown amount of time, Fu Lan slowly picked up the letter on the ground, gently brushed off the dust on it, and murmured with a trembling mouth: "I'm sorry, Yuzhen, I can't do what you wrote. I didn't take good care of Weizhen, and I became the kind of person you hate the most. But I don't regret it. They killed you, and I will make them pay with their lives, at any cost."

The pain in his eyes was gradually replaced by ferocity.

The four great families, and even the entire Xuanzhou, you will all be buried with Yuzhen.
