NOVPUBShen Roujia finally realized that Xiao Fu’s hand seemed to be crippled, with no strength left in it.
Her eyes reddened as she looked at Xiao Fu. “Tell me, what exactly happened?”
As soon as Shen Roujia started to ask, Xiao Fu knelt down with a thud.
“It was my own fault, that’s why I was punished.”
Shen Roujia frowned in self-blame, “It’s all because of me, isn’t it? If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have suffered!”
Xiao Fu quickly shook her head. She didn’t seem as naive as before; instead, she looked much more mature.
“Don’t worry, Miss. His Highness saved me just in time. It’s just a hand. I can still serve you well.”
Shen Roujia’s voice choked with emotion, “Xiao Fu, I’m sorry...”
Xiao Fu hurriedly tried to comfort her, “Miss, please don’t be like this. I chose all of this willingly. I truly want to stay by your side, so no matter what choices I made, they were my own. It doesn’t matter what others say; I know what I truly want.” 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Shen Roujia slowly raised her head and looked at Xiao Fu in front of her. “Xiao Fu...”
At that moment, Little Black jumped onto Shen Roujia’s shoulder, quietly rubbing against her as if to comfort her.
For a brief moment, Shen Roujia felt that she had been too thoughtless, dragging so many innocent people into this. So many had suffered because of her.
Yet, she was being selfish, only thinking of her own escape.
As Shen Roujia sat there, holding her head in guilt, Xu Zening’s figure quietly passed by outside the door.
He spoke to Xu Shiyi, “At her core, she’s still a very gentle person. In situations like this, she’ll sympathize with others before considering herself. She’ll feel guilty...”
Xu Zening continued calmly, “However, on the day of the wedding, we still need to strictly control who comes and goes.”
Xu Shiyi nodded, “By the way, the people of the Wen family have already been sent to General Gu. The good news from the Northern Border is imminent.”
