Exiled!? Ha! I have Chapter 99 -

Chapter 99: Chapter

The night passed quietly, and when I opened my eyes, the room was already filled with soft morning light that slipped in through the window and rested gently across the floor.

I turned my head slightly and looked beside , only to find that the space was empty and already cold, which ant Fu Sheng had been gone for quite so ti.

I stayed there for a mont, staring at the empty space, before slowly sitting up and adjusting my clothes as my thoughts settled.

"...He left early," I murmured softly.

I did not dwell on it for long, because there were more important things to focus on.

I got down from the bed and washed up quickly, using the water that had been left behind, then changed into my outer clothes and tied my hair neatly, making sure it would not get in my way.

Once I was done, I walked toward the door and stepped outside.

The mont I entered the courtyard, I noticed that almost everyone was already awake and moving about, each person busy with sothing.

Mada Fu and Master Fu had taken one of the rooms downstairs, while Fu Li and Fu Fei shared another room together, and Bai Ming stayed with her two children. Fu Teng and Fu Tong had a room of their own, especially now that they were nearing the age where marriage would soon be arranged, and the younger boys had their own space as well.

The house no longer felt empty like it did yesterday.

It now felt lived in, with people moving, talking, and settling into their roles.

I took a few steps forward and looked around.

Bai Ming was already in the courtyard, crouching slightly as she tried to clean the children, holding Fu Qin still while wiping his face.

"Stand still properly," she said firmly.

"I am standing," Fu Qin complained, trying to pull away.

"You are not standing, you are moving," she replied as she held his chin in place.

Beside them, Fu Lin stood quietly and allowed her to clean him without any resistance.

"Look at your brother," Bai Ming said. "He is not making trouble."

Fu Qin frowned imdiately.

"I do not want to be like him," he said.

I watched them for a mont before shifting my gaze.

Not far from them, Fu Teng was standing beside Master Fu, carefully unwrapping the cloth around his injured leg while checking it with a focused expression.

"Does it hurt today?" Fu Teng asked as he examined it closely.

Master Fu shook his head slightly.

"It feels better than yesterday," he replied.

Fu Teng nodded as he adjusted the cloth again.

"The swelling has reduced," he said. "If it continues like this, you should be able to walk more steadily soon."

Master Fu gave a small nod.

"That is good."

Their voices were calm and steady, and it was clear that things were slowly improving.

From the side, I could hear movent coming from the outdoor kitchen, where Mada Fu and Fu Fei were already preparing breakfast.

"Pass that to ," Mada Fu said as she reached out.

Fu Fei handed it over imdiately.

"There is still so flour left," Fu Fei added. "We can make sothing simple this morning."

"That will be enough," Mada Fu replied.

The sound of light cooking followed, and the sll of food slowly began to spread through the air.

Everything felt normal.

Peaceful.

But as I stood there, I noticed sothing.

Fu Sheng was not there.

I looked around the courtyard again, scanning each corner carefully, but he was nowhere to be seen.

My brows drew together slightly.

"Where did he go so early?" I said quietly.

Just then, Fu Li noticed

standing there.

"Sister-in-law, you are awake," she said as she walked a little closer.

I nodded.

"Yes, I just ca out."

She glanced toward the gate before speaking again.

"Second brother left early this morning," she said. "He said he had sothing to check."

I paused for a mont.

"Did he say where he was going?" I asked.

Fu Li shook her head.

"No, he did not say clearly. He only said he would return soon."

I nodded slowly.

"I see."

That ant he had already gone out ahead of ti.

I turned my gaze toward the gate again, my thoughts aligning with the plan I had made the night before.

I needed to look for land.

If I wanted to start farming, then I had to act early and not waste ti.

I stood there for a mont longer, then spoke.

"I will step out for a while," I said calmly.

Fu Fei’s voice ca from the kitchen.

"So early in the morning?"

"I want to look around," I replied.

Mada Fu did not stop .

"Be careful outside," she said.

"I will be," I answered.

With that, I turned and walked toward the gate, stepping out of the courtyard and into the open path outside.

I had just stepped past the gate when the sound of horses reached my ears.

The sharp rhythm of hooves against the ground broke the quiet morning, and I stopped imdiately, turning my head toward the direction of the sound.

A small carriage ca into view.

It was not large or luxurious, but it was neat and well-kept, and the horse pulling it looked strong and steady. The wheels rolled to a stop not far from our gate.

The mont it stopped, the noise had already drawn attention.

People in the courtyard began to co out one after another.

Bai Ming straightened from where she stood with the children, wiping her hands quickly as she looked toward the entrance. Fu Li stepped forward curiously, while Fu Fei and Mada Fu ca out from the kitchen. Even Master Fu shifted slightly where he sat, trying to see clearly.

I remained where I was, watching.

The carriage door opened.

An Yu stepped down.

He looked just as composed as before, his movents calm and steady as his feet touched the ground. His clothes were simple but clean, and his expression carried the sa quiet confidence.

His eyes lifted and landed on

imdiately.

"Madam Su," he greeted politely as he walked closer.

I nodded slightly.

"You ca early," I said.

"I did," he replied.

There was no unnecessary explanation in his tone.

I looked at him for a mont before asking,

"You are here for Fu Teng?"

He nodded without hesitation.

"Yes."

Before I could say anything else, Fu Li suddenly turned back toward the house and called out loudly,

"Fu Teng!"

Her voice carried clearly through the courtyard.

A mont later, footsteps sounded from inside.

Fu Teng stepped out.

He paused the mont he saw An Yu standing there.

For a brief second, neither of them spoke.

They simply looked at each other.

The air felt different.

Fu Teng’s expression was calm, but there was a slight pause in his movent, as if he had not expected him to co this early.

An Yu stood straight, his gaze steady.

"I ca to take you," he said.

His voice was direct.

No hesitation.

Fu Teng walked a few steps forward.

"So early?" he asked.

"There is work to do," An Yu replied.

Their exchange was simple, but it carried weight.

From the side, Fu Tong leaned slightly toward Fu Li and spoke in a low voice,

"He did not even wait."

Fu Li frowned slightly.

"At least he ca," she replied.

I watched quietly.

Fu Teng did not respond imdiately.

He glanced back once, toward Master Fu and the others, then returned his gaze to An Yu.

"I will co," he said.

An Yu gave a small nod.

Then he stepped aside slightly, making space.

The aning was clear.... Fu Teng had decided to agree.. i wonder what changed his mind all of a sudden.
