17. The general saved the husband.

General saves the husband

Perhaps because of the previous dream, most of the scenes in the dream, Lu Feng woke up and couldn't remember them clearly. The only thing she could remember clearly was Xu Mu's desperate and helpless appearance when he cried.

Just thinking about it, her heart felt like it was being fiercely twisted, causing a sharp pain.

Even now, when Lu Feng is awake, she can't bear to see Xu Mu cry.

Her hand seemed uncontrollable as it touched the reddened corner of his eye. Her thumb gently rubbed against it, and Lu Feng's voice was hoarse, tinged with a hint of nervousness and helplessness, "Don't cry. Tell me what happened, and I'll make the decision for you."

"I didn't cry." Xu Mu sniffed and looked at Lu Feng's gentle eyes and eyebrows as she lowered her head. Now, she really felt like crying.

Her husband, whether he was eleven or seventeen years old, even if he didn't like her yet, he was willing to protect him and support him without asking for a reason.

"Someone bullied my father," Lu Feng touched him, which Xu Mu had already become accustomed to. At that moment, he didn't notice the meaning behind this action. Instead, he looked up at her and anxiously said, "I'm going to find Aunt Ji to save my father and grandparents."

Lu Feng saw that although Xu Mu's eyes were red, the corners were dry. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She awkwardly withdrew the hand that was touching his face, letting it hang by her side and hiding it in her sleeve.

Just as Ji Ruan came out of the mansion, she walked quickly from the courtyard. Seeing Xu Mu standing at the door, disheveled, her steps quickened.

"What happened?" Ji Ruan squatted in front of Xu Mu, holding his arms with both hands, carefully examining him from top to bottom. Seeing that he was covered in mud but not injured, her heart couldn't help but tighten. She hurriedly asked, "Where is your father? Did something happen?"

When she saw the waist token earlier and knew that Mi Jian had come to the Lu Mansion to find her, Ji Ruan had a bad feeling. Seeing Mi Jian's appearance now, her heart tightened even more.

"Jia Shanren from Dong Street wants my father to be a servant. He set up a scheme, claiming that we stole something from his betrothal gift, and had the Jingzhao Prefecture send my grandparents to prison," Xu Mu, although worried, was not a child who couldn't explain things clearly. He explained the situation to Ji Ruan clearly and logically, "Now Jia Shanren may have taken my father to the Jia Mansion. . . I beg you, Aunt Ji, please save my father."

Ji Ruan suppressed the surging anger in her heart, handing Xu Mu over to Lu Feng. She placed her palm on his head and spoke in a soothing tone, "Don't worry, I will go and save your father."

After Ji Ruan stood up, she said to Lu Feng, "Have someone take my waist token and go to the Jingzhao Prefecture first, get my grandparents out of prison. I will ride to the Jia Mansion in Dong Street myself."

Lu Feng nodded, reaching out and holding Xu Mu's hand, leading him towards the mansion.

Xu Mu's palm felt hot. He had ignored it earlier because he was worried about Li Shi. But now, after being held by Lu Feng, the pain made him instinctively shrink his body and withdraw his arm, taking small, shallow breaths.

"What's wrong?" Lu Feng saw his strong reaction and quickly bent down, looking at his palm. "Let me see." One hand lightly grasped his wrist, while the fingertip of the other hand gently touched the cut on Xu Mu's palm that was oozing blood.

No matter how careful she was, Xu Mu still felt pain. The scorching sensation traveled from his palm up his arm and reached his eyes, causing him to involuntarily shake his shoulder and frown. In a trembling voice, he softly said, "It hurts."
