Chapter 2055: Chapter 37: Recognition
Wufu sat silently in the room, thinking about the group of people who originally followed her to Soul Severing Gorge, thousands in number, now only a few remained. How determined was the opposing side to grasp her tightly?
Nanyue...
Wufu took several deep breaths, forcing down the anger in her chest.
Victory for the king, defeat for the bandit. She had lost and taken a great tumble; it was the reality.
Wufu laughed self-deprecatingly, perhaps this was the most severe defeat she had faced since coming here, the cost of this tumble was immense!
Mo Lan, thinking of that cold and silent woman, she could never see her again.
Wufu’s nose tingled, her eyes gradually reddened, tears welled up.
"Princess Consort."
Chi Er stood at the door.
Wufu slightly turned her body, quickly wiped the corner of her eyes, and turned her head: "Have you all washed up? Let’s talk in the main room."
Seeing her son asleep, she placed him on the bed, pulled the quilt over him, got up, and went to the main room.
After she left, Xiao Qi came in, crouching at the bedside to watch over him.
Everyone was sitting in the main room, eating their meals, and upon seeing Wufu come in, they all stood up to greet her.
"Sit down."
Everyone sat back down, their postures straight, and Wufu said, "Eat first, then we’ll talk."
The few people present had wasted a lot of mental energy in these past days searching for Wufu; both physically and mentally, they were somewhat overwhelmed. They took the time to regulate their emotions while eating.
After the meal, each held a bowl of tea and recounted to Wufu the incidents encountered and the myriad problems in the aftermath.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Wouldn’t dare to speak of hard work, this is the duty of subordinates. Not protecting the Princess Consort well, causing you and the young lord to suffer such hardship, is our fault." Chi Er looked guilty.
Earlier, he had taken the opportunity to ask Xiao Qi about the situation after finding Wufu. Just thinking about it made him shiver.
Under such circumstances, the Princess Consort gave birth alone; one must be extremely resilient to achieve this, while other women would be clamoring with a large family accompanying them. Yet the Princess Consort...
"Nanyue was determined to capture me and resorted to ruthless measures. Being able to escape and having a few of you arrive now is already great fortune." Wufu said calmly.
Everyone remained silent, but their gazes towards Wufu were filled with admiration.
At this moment, a noise erupted outside the door.
Lady Liang stood at the entrance of the main room, looking frightened, and called softly to Wufu.
"What’s going on?"
"The villagers, they’re surrounding our house." Lady Liang said.
Wufu frowned, and Chi Er stood up: "Princess Consort, subordinate will go out and have a look."
"Those of you who are injured, tend to your wounds quickly, clean up, and we’ll prepare to leave." Wufu shook her head.
This...
Chi Er thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Wufu went outside, hearing people shouting bandit rebels or something, and her eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Obviously, the sudden arrival of so many people at the Old Zhou family had startled the villagers.
"Why are you all surrounding my house?" Zhou Xueli’s voice rang out.
Little uncle is back.
Wufu asked Lady Liang to open the door and appeared in the sight of everyone, causing the noise to pause for a moment.
She glanced around at everyone with indifference, saying, "It’s late autumn, and while hunting in the mountains, we encountered two large tigers. Injured, we stopped here temporarily. Rest assured, we mean no harm, and will soon leave."
"You, you’re Wufu, aren’t you?" someone hesitantly asked.
Wufu paused, looking at the person, it was a young man, sturdy and dark-skinned.
"It’s Wufu, I’m Baozi, don’t you recognize me?"
Baozi, Wufu suddenly remembered the kid she once fought with, how had he matured so much?
