Chapter 184 -184: Lucky Star Farmland Keeps Calm, Heirless Husband Busy Chasing Wife 44

“Daddy~” When Zhezhi saw Fu Huaichu, a big smile lifted at her lips. She then spread her arms wide and flew towards him, hugging Fu Huaichu’s legs. Fu Huaichu immediately squatted down and lifted her into his arms.

Zheye watched his sister’s actions, his small hand firmly holding onto Su Zhiruan.

Zhezhi let go of Fu Huaichu’s legs, turned around, and went back to take Su Zhiruan’s hand, pulling her and Zheye closer together.

It was only then that they truly appeared like a family.

Many of the guards following Fu Huaichu did not know why their lord was coming to pick up a woman and two children.

But when the four of them stood together, all doubts were dispelled.

The boy looked almost exactly like Fu Huaichu while the little girl also bore a striking resemblance to the woman their lord had come to collect.

This family, standing together, even without saying anything, clearly showed their blood connection.

“Ruanruan, get on the carriage,” Fu Huaichu had the coachman bring a stool over, first looking at Su Zhiruan, indicating her to board quickly, “the snow has thickened.”

Su Zhiruan did not decline; she first boarded Fu Huaichu’s extravagant carriage, then lifted the two children up and sat them down beside her.

Finally, Fu Huaichu also got on. After the coachman stowed the stool away, he steered the horses into motion.

“Admiring plum blossoms amidst the snow, today we’ve stumbled upon it,” Su Zhiruan remarked while noticing Zheye’s small short sword had fallen off; she bent down and picked it up, “Zhezhi, Zheye, make sure to wear your hood later, or you’ll catch a cold.”

“Okay.” Both children responded in unison.

“I’ve brought several new large cloaks, if it’s too cold, you can change into them,” Fu Huaichu pointed out to the back where various items were piled, among them were several evidently thick large cloaks.

The conversation among the four of them at this time was entirely like that of a family on an outing, very natural and smooth.

Zhezhi and Zheye felt somewhat overwhelmed with favor; although they were young, they were clever and could remember many things.

They had thought they would never see their father again, but just before this New Year, they actually got to see their daddy, and even have their daddy and mummy take them out to admire the plum blossoms together.

Happiness came so swiftly, Zhezhi and Zheye were caught off guard.

The carriage sped through the heavy snow, followed by more than ten horse-mounted guards, whose hooves shattered the accumulating snow explosively dispersing it.

The plum blossoms outside Capital City mostly grew on sunny hillsides or near the brooks; they couldn’t survive in windy areas, so their carriage couldn’t go directly there and had to take a detour to enter Plum Blossom Valley.

Beyond Plum Blossom Valley lay a steep cliff, but below that was even more desolate, devoid of both paths and people.

The detour was rather bumpy. Zheye’s small short sword fell off again, but this time, he bent down to pick it up himself, examined it for a while in his hands, and then handed the short sword to Su Zhiruan, “Mummy, please hold this for me, otherwise it’ll just fall again.”

Su Zhiruan took it, holding it in her hand.

Fu Huaichu’s carriage was quite large, and externally it didn’t reveal much, but from the inside, one could truly appreciate its luxury.

After the carriage descended the mountain road, the path became increasingly narrow.

After lifting the curtain, the outside view was indeed beautiful, with plum blossoms all around blanketed in snow, a captivating sight.

Su Zhiruan fiddled with Zheye’s small short sword in her hand; she felt a twitch between her brows, sensing something might be amiss around them.

Just then, the guards riding behind suddenly shouted — “Your Highness, be careful!”

Fu Huaichu, as if sensing something, immediately grabbed Su Zhiruan’s head, making both of them bend down.

His movements were too fast, and at that moment, a cold arrow brushed past Su Zhiruan’s hair and embedded itself straight into the wood behind her.

It was hard to imagine, if she had not lowered her head, by now, that arrow would have hit her.

“There’s an assassin!”

“Chase the assassin!”

Outside the carriage, the guards instantly spurred their horses to chase several assassins, creating chaos around the carriage.

Meanwhile, inside the carriage, Su Zhiruan slowly lifted her head, and only then did she realize what had just happened.

Zheye and Zhezhi were stunned; they both huddled next to Su Zhiruan, having witnessed everything that had occurred with their own eyes.

It was a close call… they might have lost their mother.

“Ruanruan, you and Zheye, Zhezhi, stay in the carriage and don’t move,” Fu Huaichu stood up, took a crossbow from a box behind the carriage, and then jumped down from the carriage.

Su Zhiruan pulled out the cold arrow from above where she had been moments ago, the silver glint of the arrow darkened at its tip.

“Mother, what is this?” Zhezhi pointed at the cold arrow, cautiously staying close to her.

“It’s poison,” Su Zhiruan frowned as she placed the arrow on the ground to the side, ensuring that Zheye and Zhezhi wouldn’t touch it, “Zhezhi, Zheye, don’t touch it.”

Seeing her serious expression, both children knew this was no small matter and nodded simultaneously.

Meanwhile, outside the carriage, Fu Huaichu, armed with the crossbow, dismounted, and several guards immediately gathered around to protect him.

“Your Highness, we just dealt with a few, but some got away,” the lead guard advanced to report the situation.

Fu Huaichu furrowed his brows and looked up at the sky, where large snowflakes were falling from the vast sky.

If he had been alone, perhaps he would not have been so cautious, but at this moment, inside the carriage, his wife and children were present, and he couldn’t just think of himself; he had to protect them as well.

Fu Huaichu was the Crown Prince, having seen numerous assassinations and assassins since childhood, but the only ones he always feared were that particular group.

It was the time he had been caught in a trap and severely wounded, and with his last bit of consciousness, he had collapsed in the woods behind the Su Family village.

Even though he had returned to the palace afterward and eliminated most of the killers from that organization, there were still some remnants continually attempting assassinations.

Now, as Fu Huaichu examined the bodies on the ground, his brows progressively knitted together.

If he wasn’t mistaken, then it was very likely that these people were the residual killers from that group.

Just as he was checking the bodies, a whooshing wind sound passed through the air, and another cold arrow shot toward his head.

Fu Huaichu dodged quickly, his crossbow releasing a bolt in an instant, knocking the cold arrow out of the air.

One long and one short arrow fell to the ground; if one looked closely, both arrows were fired with great force, even the tips were significantly blunted.

The guards hurriedly followed the direction from which the cold arrows had come, but found nothing.

Just then—

As Su Zhiruan was about to lift the curtain, she noticed a man in black clothes appearing before her, his sinister gaze fixated on her and the two children behind her. Then, he let out a harsh laugh, “Who would have thought, even if Fu Huaichu were to die, he would have a great beauty to accompany him in death!”
