Mr. Fu found a red lacquer box from the bookshelf and carefully put the string of beads in it.
If Fu Zhao hadn't wanted to talk to him, he would have wanted to take a bath and burn incense to show respect for Prince Gong.
Fu Zhao looked at it coldly, suddenly wanting to laugh.
Mr. Fu is only old but not wise.
Back then, he was able to take risks and take in the family members of the guilty ministers. Now, knowing that what Fu Qingxin did for Prince Gong was not a good thing, he still dared to accept Prince Gong's token.
Fu Zhao lowered his eyes, his long and thick eyelashes covering the sarcastic smile in his eyes, and asked lightly: "I heard that my father has found a good marriage for Qingxin?"
When mentioning this matter, Mr. Fu said cheerfully: "Yes, he is the son of the Minister of War's family. Although he is only a commoner, he married with a pure heart, so he is considered to have married well."
"Then has Father ever thought about what will happen to our family after marrying Qingxin?"
Mr. Fu smiled even more happily.
He had thought about it countless times, and Fu Qingxin also described the future prospects for him.
Climb onto Prince Gong’s big ship, and when Prince Gong ascends to that position, their Fu family will have the merit of following the dragon!
Maybe when the time comes, Prince Gong will be happy and reward him with a title.
The Fu family will flourish in his hands!
Mr. Fu smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed to slits, "Zhaozhao, these are things that men should worry about, so you should stop worrying about them. It is only right to give birth to a son and a half to my uncle as soon as possible."
Fu Zhao's face turned cold.
Mr. Fu was so immersed in joy that he probably didn't even know where to open the door to the Fu family.
Fu Zhao had to throw away a basin of cold water, "Have you ever thought about what my father will do if the Fu family's secrets are dug out?"
Mr. Fu said nonchalantly: "Whose family doesn't have something they can't tell anyone about?"
Fu Zhao raised his eyebrows with sharp eyes, "What if our family's secret is enough to destroy the Fu family? Has father forgotten how the Lu family was ransacked some time ago?"
Mr. Fu was startled for a moment, and his smile disappeared without a trace in an instant.
He looked at Fu Zhao carefully with a scrutinizing gaze.
Apart from him, only Aunt Kang knew about that incident back then.
Aunt Kang is the most cautious person and would never say anything to anyone.
Moreover, Aunt Kang also knew the stakes. If this matter became public, both she and Fu Qingxin would be dead.
Master Fu stared at Fu Zhao, his face uncertain.
It was Fu Zhao who broke the silence first, "Father, do you want to ask me how I know? I know, of course someone told me."
Master Fu thought hard before asking tentatively: "Did Qingxin tell you?"
Fu Zhao was noncommittal.
Mr. Fu was in a complicated mood. Fu Qingxin knew about his life experience and did not tell anyone, but even told others about it.
Fu Zhao knows today, but who will it be tomorrow?
Fu Zhao is right. When the Fu family really gets angry later, there will definitely be jealous people who will dig out this matter.
This matter cannot be dug up at all, and the truth can be dug out casually.
Even if he becomes a prince by then, he will not be able to escape the consequences of having his house confiscated.
What was originally a beautiful prospect turned out to be a phantom.
Mr. Fu sighed heavily, feeling decadent.
Seeing that the cold water he poured on her had an effect, Fu Zhao said, "Father, don't worry, the marriage in Ru County won't happen either, but it's better not to tell Qing Xin first and let's see Qing Xin's choice."
Master Fu wondered, "What choice?"
Fu Zhao smiled meaningfully, "Let's see if Qingxin is willing to be a member of the Fu family and obey her father's words obediently, or if she is too big-hearted and has other plans. If it's the former, it means Qingxin and we are of the same mind. If it's the latter,
…”
Fu Zhao has finished clicking, and let Mr. Fu guess the rest.
Only Mr. Fu can think more if he makes his own guesses.
After Fu Zhao had finished saying what he wanted to say, he returned to the Hou Mansion.
As soon as Fu Zhao left, Master Fu immediately went to find Aunt Kang.
When they were the only two people left in the room, Mr. Fu asked with all his face, "Did you tell Qingxin about what happened back then?"
Aunt Kang was stunned for a moment, and then she said guiltily: "You are pure and smart, and you guessed it yourself."
Mr. Fu frowned and wandered around the room, feeling extremely irritable. Fu Qingxin really knew about it and boldly spoke out.
Aunt Kang squeezed the handkerchief tightly and asked uneasily: "Master, has something big happened? Is there something wrong with Qingxin's marriage?"
Mr. Fu opened his mouth, and remembering what Fu Zhao said, he changed his words again, "The marriage at the prince's side cannot be completed, Qing Xin still has to marry in Ru County."
Aunt Kang couldn't help but be disappointed, but she still said meekly: "Listen to the master. I must be doing it for the sake of a pure heart. Although Ru County is far away, as long as the pure heart is safe, it is better than anything else."
Listening to Aunt Kang's sensible words, Master Fu felt much better.
At least Aunt Kang is a repaying person.
He has seen Aunt Kang's sacrifices for the Fu family over the years.
He patted Aunt Kang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I was able to protect you back then, and I can do the same now. Go and talk to Qingxin."
*
Fu Qingxin raised her eyebrows and swept everything on the table to the floor.
Aunt Kang was so frightened that she took two steps back. If she had hid a little later, she would have almost been scratched by the debris.
Fu Qingxin was so angry that his chest heaved violently, "The prince is willing to help me, why can't my father say it? Today Fu Zhao is back. Did Fu Zhao go to my father to instigate him again?"
Aunt Kang hurriedly covered Fu Qingxin's mouth, "How can a child like you talk like this? She is your sister after all. Even if you don't think of her well, you can't call her by her name like this."
Fu Qingxin opened Aunt Kang's hand and said angrily: "Mom! Who is your biological daughter? Your daughter is about to be married off and will never be seen again for the rest of her life. Are you still speaking for an outsider?"
Aunt Kang said: "In my opinion, that marriage is a good one. When you get married, you will know how hard your father has worked."
Unexpectedly, my own mother's elbows were turned outward.
Fu Qingxin was so angry that her head felt dizzy for a while, but she quickly calmed down.
The Fu family was so impatient to send her away, so Fu Zhao chose a marriage for her that would make her suffer, and asked her to be grateful!
In this case, she doesn't mind sending a big gift to the Fu family.
And she doesn’t want Miss Fu’s identity anymore!
Fu Qingxin smiled, her eyes full of anger, "Go and tell your father, I will obediently prepare to get married."
Aunt Kang breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Fu Qingxin for a few more words before going to tell Mr. Fu the good news.
