If he hadn't known that Wu would take care of her sooner or later, he wouldn't have kept her for the New Year. But after Zhang Fu heard the news, he got to know Wu again as his pillow person.
He didn't pay much attention to women.
All the ignorant feelings towards women and all the good things in his heart when he was young were given to Li Xinrou. These years, he has been fighting in the field all year round and has not even been able to return home a few times. He does not have much desire for women.
At that time, my mother wrote a letter saying that I needed to entrust someone to support the Wu family, so he agreed.
Wu came to seek refuge alone at first, thinking that she had been cautious, but unexpectedly, she was as good as others in her tactics.
Zhang Fu was a little troubled.
He is used to fighting and killing outside, and he just hopes for peace at home, but now it seems that this is no longer possible.
Calling Zhang Jin: "Send more people from the Wu family to keep an eye on it. Also send someone to tell the Zhou family."
"Yes. Then, do you want to continue watching Mrs. Wu?"
Zhang Fu stroked his forehead and nodded.
Zhang Jin was relieved when he saw this and went down to do it.
The next day, Zhang Fu went to Huo's house again. This time he met the nanny Zhou in person.
Not only did he give her a generous gift, he also bowed to her. If it hadn't been for her, his two children would have long since passed away.
"If you have any requests, feel free to ask. As long as I can do it, I will do it for you. If your son needs a house, gold and silver, or a future, I will satisfy you."
Mrs. Zhou did not expect that one day, her two children would be able to wait for their father. Their father would still be willing to recognize them.
Thinking of my wife who died so tragically, I cried so hard that I couldn't hold myself back.
I wanted to express all my grievances with gestures and gestures.
Back then, she was beaten until she lost all energy and was thrown into a mass grave. Everyone thought she was dead, but they didn't expect that she was able to breathe again until Grandma Ma rescued her.
Thinking of those years of fear, hiding, and not daring to go out to meet people, Mrs. Zhou burst into tears.
Zhang Jin cried beside her, but Zhang Fu felt uncomfortable. He couldn't understand what she was referring to, so he looked at Huo Xi with his eyes. Huo Xi's eyes were cold and she didn't think of translating for him.
Wu Chengye glanced at Huo Xi and supported her mother, "We don't want a house and gold and silver. We have a girl taking care of us these years, and our life is not bad. My mother is a poor wife who died young. I hope the Duke of Guo can take pity on us."
The girl and the young master."
Zhang Fu nodded: "You don't need to say more. I am my own flesh and blood and will treat them well. I hope you will accept what I brought today. Although it cannot make up for it, it is still my heart."
In addition to the wet nurse's portion, there is also Ningxiu's portion.
Thinking that Rou'er was the only loyal servant left by Nannan's side, Zhang Fu felt bad.
"I grew up with the young lady. The young lady has a pure and kind nature. She cherishes the poor and the weak the most. I hope that the Duke will take care of the young lady and the young master for our young lady. Don't let our young lady feel uneasy underground."
Ningxiu wiped her tears frequently. If her daughter had not married Zhang Fu, she might still be alive today. She would marry an ordinary family and have her children by her side.
Zhang Fu's sincerity made the whole family feel more considerate towards him.
Huo Xi didn't pay much attention.
"Don't you want to go home with your father?"
"Are you willing to deal with the Wu family?" Huo Xi didn't mention Mrs. Wang.
This was an era when parents told their children to die and did not dare to disobey. Zhang Fu did not dare to bear the crime of matricide.
"Father will let her go to Zhuangzi to live."
Huo Xi shook his head: "Not enough."
Nian'er's life is a threat to Wu. Similarly, Wu's life is also a threat to her and Nian'er.
"Moreover, how are you going to tell the world about me and Nian'er?"
Two people who have been dead for many years suddenly come back to life, and there will be a lot of discussion in the capital. Does Zhang Fu dare to expose such a scandal?
"You are my father's flesh and blood, so I will reveal your identity to the world. If you are wrong, you are wrong, and my father will not deny it."
Huo Xi glanced at him in surprise. She thought he would cover up this scandal. But if he dared to reveal it, he probably wouldn't dare to mention what Wang and Wu did to their mother.
But this was not enough. Huo Xi wanted him to clear out the house before letting Nian'er go back. But Zhang Fu didn't want them to continue to live outside, and wanted to take them under his nose and watch them every day to compensate them.
The father and daughter have not reached an agreement. Zhang Fu needs time, and so does Huo Xi.
"Nian'er."
"uncle."
Zhang Fu pulled him and sat on the corridor, half-hugging him: "Nian'er, can you call me father?"
"Why?" Nian'er looked at him with big eyes, "Nian'er has a father and a mother."
Zhang Fu opened his mouth with some difficulty: "They are Nian'er's adoptive parents, not Nian'er's biological parents."
"Sister didn't tell Nian'er."
"Father will tell you whatever Nian'er wants to know."
"Are you really my father? Then why don't you want me and my sister?"
"It's not that father doesn't want you, it's bad people who deceived father..."
"You are the Duke of the country. Aren't you of high status? Why do you still let people bully my sister and me? Do you live in a big house in the inner city? Can't you accommodate me and my sister?"
The daughter refused to be nice, and the son kept asking questions until Zhang Fu had nowhere to hide.
Before leaving, Zhang Fu handed Huo Xi a large box.
"Nanny, my father has never forgotten you. This is the birthday gift my father has prepared for you since you were seven years old. Every year on the first day of the New Year, my father will give you a box to store. My father has never forgotten you, mother and daughter.
"
Huo Xi looked at the box handed to her and felt dazed for a while.
Finally I took it over.
Zhang Fu breathed a sigh of relief: "You and Nian'er are fine. Father will come see you again. Waiting for father to take you home." His eyes were filled with reluctance.
Zhang Fu left, and Huo Xi stared blankly at his back until he could no longer see him.
I opened the box and found a box full of bell bracelets. I counted them and found there were ten in total.
From when she was seven to sixteen, one series a year.
I took a bunch and put it on my hand, shook it gently, and the bell made a ringing sound, which was light and crisp, and pleasant to the ear.
Huo Nian also received a box of gifts, including jade pendants, gadgets, the Four Treasures of the Study, and military books.
He spread them out on the table and looked at them blankly, with a distressed look on his face. He liked his uncle, but now his uncle had become his father. He and his sister were not the only fathers, there were other children in his family.
My father's family also killed my mother.
Huo Xi pushed open the door and walked in. He was so panicked that he wanted to rush forward to cover up, but when he saw it was his sister, he stood up again.
"elder sister."
Huo Xi approached, glanced at the table, and looked at him: "Don't you like it?"
Huo Nian said nothing.
He started to put them back into the box one by one. Then he looked up at Huo Xi: "Sister, don't you want to go back to that home?"
"Nian'er, do you want to go back?"
Huo Nian pursed his lips, and after a while, he asked her: "Didn't sister say that she should record Nian'er in the family tree under her mother's name? Doesn't sister want to avenge her mother?"
