Chapter 783 I Won’t Save You This Time (26)
"Yes! Wait until he is in power, wait until he is successful and famous, wait until he has a beautiful woman and children, and you are left alone!" Unconsciously, "Yan Caiyue" became emotional, and her voice was trembling and aggrieved.
The emotions that had been suppressed for many years were vented at this moment through the mouth of "her", "But it's too cold, too bitter, and too difficult. People will get tired and can't wait any longer!"
At this moment, there was an indescribable sadness and deep hatred in "Yan Caiyue's" eyes.
Fu Shun had only seen this kind of dilemma of wanting to hate but not being able to hate in one person - Xiao Qiluo.
Even though Yan Caiyue in front of him looked completely different from Xiao Qiluo, the look in her eyes was exactly the same.
This discovery made Fushun, who had been through many battles, lose his mind and couldn't help but blurt out: "Who are you?"
Unexpectedly, this sentence was like a thunderclap, instantly bringing Yan Caiyue back to her senses.
She covered her forehead with her left hand. She realized that she had said something wrong a long time ago, but she always felt that she had said nothing wrong.
However, Yan Caiyue's face turned pale instantly, and she knelt down hurriedly, her voice trembling: "I spoke out of turn, please forgive me, Manager Fu!"
Her movements were skillful. Years of life in the palace had imprinted this humble posture of apology into Yan Caiyue's bones.
Fushun looked at her kneeling on the ground, and his doubts grew even stronger.
He frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to help Yan Caiyue up, and said with a hint of helplessness: "Get up! Just say this in front of me, don't say anything more in front of the Lord today."
Yan Caiyue stood up, lowered her head, and no longer looked directly into Fushun's eyes.
Fu Shun looked at her, sighed, and continued: "Yan girl, you have been outside for long enough, come back to the palace with me this time."
Return to the palace? Yan Caiyue never expected this to happen! She raised her head instantly, with horror in her eyes.
No, after finally breaking free from that cage, he never thought of going back.
Yan Caiyue suddenly knelt down again, pleading in her voice: "Uncle Fu, I beg you to be kind and pretend that you have never seen me and let me go!"
Fushun looked at her with a clear look in his eyes—everyone wants freedom!
After a moment of silence, Fushun asked softly, "Isn't it good in the palace? You don't have to worry about food and clothing. It's not as good as you wandering around outside."
There was a hint of knowing the answer in his tone: "Even if the imperial concubine is gone, I can still protect you."
Yan Caiyue did not stand up, but raised her head and looked at Fu Shun with earnest eyes, her voice choked with sobs: "Uncle Fu, I..."
Before she finished her words, Fu Shun waved his hand and interrupted her: "Alright, alright, now that you have left the palace, don't kneel down at every turn in the future."
Fushun changed his expression and said helplessly and distressedly: "If you want to stay outside, then stay outside! But the world is difficult, especially for women. You have to take good care of yourself."
After saying that, he took out a stack of silver bills that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve and handed them to Yan Caiyue: "As your elder, I have nothing else except these. You can keep them and live a good life!"
Yan Caiyue was a person who knew how to deal with things. She took the banknote and a hint of gratitude flashed in her eyes.
Fushun seemed to have thought of something again. He reached out and took off the white jade waist badge hanging around his waist and handed it to her: "Here! Take it. This thing doesn't look like it has much power, but it can still scare people.
If you really have difficulties that you can't get over, as long as I'm still here, you can come to me and I'll always take care of you."
Yan Caiyue took the badge and did not refuse the gift from her "elder". She just said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Fu."
Fushun looked at her, a hint of kindness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
Then he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and take good care of yourself. If you figure it out one day, you can always come back."
Yan Caiyue nodded, turned and left.
Suddenly Fu Shun's eyes narrowed slightly - this walking posture was wrong. Yan Caiyue was born a palace maid, and although she was deliberately trained later, her shoulders often trembled unconsciously and hardly noticed.
This is what the teaching nanny told Fushun, but this "Yan Caiyue" didn't know!
But now is not the time to pursue these things. Fushun stood there, watching her back gradually disappear from his sight, and waved to the secret guards who appeared beside him and said, "Send someone to follow her secretly, one, to confirm her whereabouts, and two, to protect her. Maybe she will be useful in the future."
"Yes!" The secret guard took the order and left.
"Why bother with that, Manager Fu? Just take her back regardless of whether she's willing or not." Liang Jingyang, who had been hiding in the dark, said disapprovingly, "Get rid of her if she's a threat, and release her if there's no problem. Once she's in our place, we can always pry her open."
"Don't try to take advantage of her." Fushun warned, "She is a relative of our family, different from other people."
Liang Jingyang didn't say anything else.
When Yan Caiyue was just being escorted out of the garden by the maid, she saw the Chen family's carriage.
Chen Ang was pacing around the carriage, looking very anxious.
"Mr. Chen, are you waiting for me?" Yan Caiyue's mood seemed to improve inexplicably. "It's my fault that I made you anxious now."
Chen Ang finally felt at ease when he saw Yan Caiyue show up. He didn't care about the occasion and rushed over to her: "Sanniang said that you were left behind by an old elder, so I came to see you! Are you okay?"
"What can I do?" Yan Caiyue smiled and comforted, "We just haven't seen each other for more than a year, and we just asked about each other's situation!"
"I'm afraid you'll be persuaded and go back to the capital." Chen Ang said somewhat dejectedly, "Yucheng is nice, but it's not as prosperous as the capital after all!"
Yan Caiyue heard Chen Ang's words and shook her head gently: "Wealth and honor are fascinating. Although the capital is prosperous, I don't ask for these."
Prosperity is often accompanied by danger. Some wealth and glory cannot be enjoyed by one's life. Even Concubine Xiao was ruined, let alone oneself.
Chen Ang understood what Yan Caiyue meant, and he was delighted, but still a little uneasy: "Then...will you stay in Yucheng forever?"
"I think so! After all, the climate is pleasant and the scenery is nice." Yan Caiyue thought for a moment and said, "Although I was born in the north and grew up in the capital, I still think I am more suitable for living in Jiangnan."
When Chen Ang heard these words, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
He showed a happy smile and said happily: "That's good! As long as you are willing to stay, Yucheng will be your home. I will also..."
"Let's go! Let's go back too!" Yan Caiyue interrupted him. She felt that if Chen Ang continued talking, he would bring up the marriage proposal.
She was not a young girl who had just begun to fall in love. Having seen so many things, she could still understand the affection in Chen Ang's eyes.
But it’s not the right time yet. After all, things that are easily obtained are unlikely to be cherished.
