Fu Wan was picking at her nails uneasily, feeling extremely frightened.
She was already frightened by the deaths of Aunt Kang and Fu Qingxin, but now Mr. Shen came and made her dizzy.
Growing up, she had two outstanding sisters above her, but she was always the most inconspicuous and ignored by others.
It is precisely because of this that she believes that good things will never happen to her.
If it really fell on her, it would definitely not be as good as Mother Li said.
Mother Li ignored Fu Wan's little thoughts. She neatly tied Fu Wan's hair, put on jewelry, took out everything from the bottom of the box, and dressed Fu Wan up in a noble manner.
Fu Wan looked at herself in the mirror and felt very uncomfortable.
She lowered her head habitually.
Mother Li solemnly said: "Miss, you can't do this again in the future. Now you are the only one of the master's daughters left in the Fu family. You should hold your head high and show Miss Fu's tricks. You must not let others look down upon you.”
Fu Wan replied seriously: "I understand."
Mother Li smiled happily and took Fu Wan to the study.
Fu Wan suddenly grimaced.
Thinking of the idea that Mr. Fu had in mind, her face suddenly turned red.
When she arrived at the door of the study, Fu Wan heard a man's laughter coming from inside the study.
In addition to Mr. Fu's voice, there is also the voice of a young man, which is elegant and sweet.
Fu Wan's face became even hotter.
She stood outside the study for a while, and a maid came over and handed the tray with the tea cup to Fu Wan.
Mother Li blinked, and Fu Wan took the tray, took a deep breath, and entered the study.
She could hear her voice trembling: "Father, my daughter has brought you tea."
Mr. Fu looked Fu Wan up and down and was very satisfied, "Come in."
Fu Wan continued to walk inside, lowering her head and looking at the road, not daring to look at the people in the study.
She served tea to Mr. Fu and then walked to Shen Han to serve tea.
Her hands were shaking nervously. She didn't dare to look at the man, but she could smell the fragrance emanating from him.
She originally thought that men all stink.
After putting the tea cup away, she felt blessed and ran away with the empty tray.
Shen Han only glanced at Fu Wan when she came in, and his eyes never fell on Fu Wan again.
It was true that Fu Wan was too ordinary and he didn't like her at all.
Mr. Fu also knows the principle of step by step. The matter between Fu Wan and Shen Han must be done slowly.
Shen Han stayed in Master Fu's study for almost an hour before going out. Master Fu acted like an elder and asked the housekeeper to send Shen Han out.
Shen Han looked at the gray-haired butler walking behind him and asked proactively: "Butler Fu, you must have a family full of children and grandchildren. Do any of your sons or grandchildren study and become officials?"
Butler Fu smiled loyally and replied truthfully: "You praise me too much. How can my sons and grandsons have the ability to study? And I can't even think about becoming an official."
The corners of Shen Han's lips turned up, and he said meaningfully: "What if I said, I can get an official from your family?"
Butler Fu immediately became energetic, his old eyes were shining brightly, "If you can really let my family have an official, then I will repay you for your great kindness, even if you are a small cow or a horse!"
Shen Han laughed twice and was in a great mood, "I don't need you to repay me, I just need to do me a small favor."

Mr. Cong took Fu Yi to play in Fu's small garden.
Now that Fu Yi has learned to walk, he no longer wants to stay in the house. Whenever he opens his eyes, he wants to play around with his two short legs.
When Mr. Cong is not busy, he will personally take Fu Yi out to play for a while.
After playing in the garden for a while, Cong's confidant Mother Kong came to say: "Madam, that Mr. Shen has left."
Mrs. Cong hummed, then frowned, "This Mr. Shen was not born low, so why does he come to our house every two days? What benefits can it bring to him by pleasing his father?"
Mr. Cong really couldn’t figure it out.
Mr. Fu is just an idle official, he doesn't know many people, and he can't talk to anyone outside.
According to Mr. Cong, Fu Shaonian is much more reliable than Mr. Fu.
Thinking of the stupid things Mr. Fu had done before, Mrs. Cong was still holding back her anger.
If Mr. Fu hadn't had a sudden idea and brought Aunt Kang back, how could there be so many things happening now?
Although she likes Aunt Kang, it does not mean that she will like Aunt Kang's life experience.
Kong's mother smiled and said, "You don't even want to see what kind of son-in-law I have. Mr. Shen must be here for the crown prince. Nowadays, many of those who want to curry favor with the prince want to follow my father's footsteps."
Just look at the number of people who come to give gifts to the Fu family during festivals. Ever since Fu Zhao married into the Dingbei Hou Mansion, there have been a lot more people.
Mrs. Cong also relaxed. After what happened to Fu Qingxin, she had been tense and it was inevitable that she would have random thoughts.
"Then next time Mr. Shen comes, let him be well entertained." Cong ordered.
She had just finished giving instructions when she saw Fu Wan and Mother Li.
Fu Wan dressed up so carefully that it would be difficult for others not to notice.
Seeing that Fu Wan came from the direction of the study, Cong had an idea.
Fu Wan also saw Mrs. Cong and came over to greet Mrs. Cong with a red face. Her face looked as if it was on fire. Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "Sister-in-law."
Mrs. Cong smiled and said, "You look good dressed like this. Girls have to dress like this."
Fu Wan was too shy to speak.
Cong didn't seem to notice Fu Wan's embarrassment and discomfort, and continued: "It's your eldest brother's birthday in a few days, and then the whole family will have a meal together. Zhao Zhao will also be back by then, you guys Sisters, let’s talk nicely.”
Fu Wan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Mrs. Cong didn't embarrass her and let her go back.
Looking at Fu Zhao's back, Mrs. Cong seemed to sigh with relief, and then told Kong's mother: "Send someone to the Hou Mansion and tell Zhao Zhao that she should come back for a meal in three days."
Kong's mother smiled and said, "Even if we don't send anyone to say it, the second young lady will definitely not forget the uncle's birthday in her heart. The second young lady has been a sensible child since she was a child."
In the Hou Mansion, Fu Zhao was selecting in the warehouse a birthday gift for Fu Shaonian.
If her elder brother and sister-in-law treat her well, she should reciprocate the kindness.
While giving birthday gifts to Fu Shaonian, she also wanted to pick some for Cong, Fu Songzhou and Fu Yi.
When Chen Feng came back in the evening, he looked at the things placed in the room and thought he had accidentally walked into the warehouse.
He carefully walked around these things, walked to Fu Zhao, and said jokingly: "You are not comfortable living in the house, do you want to go out and relax?"
