Fu Zhao's eyebrows moved and he replied: "My cousin has traveled thousands of miles to come to the capital. Of course I want to come and take a look."
Seeing Fu Zhao's frank look, Fu Qingxin couldn't say anything.
Fu Zhao ignored Fu Qingxin, and she took Liangsui directly to Gao Zicen.
Liang Sui felt uneasy and had to avoid suspicion.
So at Liangsui's plea, Fu Zhao had no choice but to go find Fu Wan and ask Fu Wan to go with him to Gao Zicen's place.
Gao Zicen used to come to the Fu family often, and the Fu family specially set aside a yard for Gao Zicen to live there.
In recent years, Gao Zicen has come less often, but this courtyard is still reserved for him.
When Fu Zhao stepped into the courtyard's threshold, he suddenly felt like he was in another world.
In her last life, she and Gao Zicen no longer had any contact or contact.
In two lifetimes combined, she had not seen Gao Zicen for several years.
When a handsome young man walked towards her, she didn't recognize him for a moment.
Gao Zicen caught the confusion and unfamiliarity in Fu Zhao's eyes, and his heart ached, and he felt helpless.
It had only been a short period of time since they had seen each other, but he and Fu Zhao had become so estranged from each other.
Gao Zicen stopped and said with a wry smile: "Zhaozhao, do you still remember me?"
Fu Zhao nodded slightly, "Cousin."
Fu Wan also called Fu Zhao cousin.
Gao Zicen lowered his head slightly and looked at Fu Zhao.
Although Fu Zhao was smiling at him, there was no emotion in his smile.
He remembered that when Fu Zhao smiled at him in the past, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were filled with smiles, and his eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.
Because Fu Wan was there, he couldn't say anything.
Seeing that Gao Zicen didn't move, Fu Zhao asked, "Cousin, is there anything else you can do?"
Gao Zicen came to his senses, turned sideways and said, "Two cousins, please come inside."
Fu Zhao and Fu Wan walked inside together.
The layout of the room was still the same as in his memory, and Fu Zhao couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Because Fu Zhao had something to talk to Gao Zicen alone, she made an excuse and went out and walked to the stone table and bench in the corner of the yard.
There is also a chessboard placed on the stone table. In the past, Fu Zhao often came here to play chess with Gao Zicen.
Her chess skills are not as good as Gao Zicen's, but Gao Zicen often gives in to her and basically lets her win one of the next three games.
At the beginning, Fu Zhao thought that he had won with Gao Zicen based on his own ability, and he was very proud of this.
Until later he saw Gao Zicen's true chess skills, Fu Zhao was still lost for a while.
Thinking of these past events, Fu Zhao couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Gao Zicen asked with a smile.
"Nothing," Fu Zhao put away his thoughts and got down to business, "Actually, I have something to ask my cousin for help this time."
Gao Zicen also stopped laughing and said seriously: "Just tell me."
Fu Zhao then told Gao Zicen about Chen Sirui's situation. She was probably the only one in the world who knew that the young boy in front of him was the famous Doctor Gao.
When Dr. Gao is treating people, he always covers his face with a hat and never shows his true face.
Therefore, none of the people who have been treated by him over the years know his age and appearance.
Fu Zhao continued: "It's okay if my cousin doesn't want to go..."
Before Fu Zhao could finish speaking, Gao Zicen said seriously, "I don't want to go."
Fu Zhao was stunned, not expecting Gao Zicen to refuse.
She was only stunned for a moment, then returned to normal, "I understand."
"Don't you ask me why I don't want to?" Gao Zicen asked.
Fu Zhao shook his head gently, "Of course my cousin doesn't want to do it because of my cousin's considerations. How can I force others to make things difficult? I'll go there first."
Seeing Fu Zhao's leaving figure, crisp and clean, Gao Zicen could no longer suppress the thoughts he had been suppressing in his heart.
He took a few steps quickly and stood in front of Fu Zhao.
Fu Zhao asked puzzledly: "Cousin, is there anything else?"
Gao Zicen asked in a deep voice: "Don't you have anything to ask me? Ask me why I haven't come over for so long?"
Fu Zhao smiled, "Of course my cousin has his own things to do."
Seeing that Fu Zhao really didn't care, Gao Zicen was discouraged.
He didn't give up and asked again, "How are you and Prince Dingbei... okay?"
Fu Zhao thought for a moment and smiled, "The prince and I are very good. Thank you for your concern, cousin."
Fu Zhao crossed Gao Zicen and left.
Gao Zicen felt that as soon as Fu Zhao left, his heart felt empty.
Suddenly, he felt a fishy-sweet sensation in his throat, and he spit out a mouthful of blood.
He casually wiped away the blood from the corners of his lips with his fingers, paused for a moment, and then went into the house.
In the room, Fu Zhao and Fu Wan were talking.
Seeing Gao Zicen come in, Fu Zhao and Fu Wan were about to get up and say goodbye.
Gao Zicen instinctively said: "Why don't you stay a little longer?"
After saying this, he laughed at himself.
Now that Fu Zhao is a married man, he really cannot stay too long to avoid suspicion.
Fu Zhao and Fu Wan left.
Fu Zhao went to find Cong.
Mrs. Cong breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Fu Zhao looked normal. She originally thought that Fu Zhao would lose his composure when he saw Gao Zicen.
Mr. Cong asked, "Would you like to stay for lunch?"
"No, I have something to do when I go back."
"Okay, then I won't keep you either. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there will definitely be a lot of things going on." Cong said empathetically, and sent Fu Zhao out, and saw Fu Zhao get on the carriage in person.
When Cong returned to Fu's house, Fu Qingxin came over to find Fu Zhao.
"Where's sister?" Fu Qingxin asked.
"Your sister has gone back."
Fu Qingxin was surprised, "Why did you go back so soon? Don't you want me to talk to my cousin for a while?"
According to the previous friendship between Fu Zhao and Gao Zicen, they should stay and finish lunch no matter what.
Cong said: "What do they have to say?"
"Why not? They were two childhood sweethearts in the past..."
"Qingxin!" Cong raised his voice to stop Fu Qingxin from continuing.
Mr. Cong looked serious, "Your sister is already married, aren't you trying to kill her by saying these things?"
Fu Qingxin muttered: "I just told the truth, can't I even tell the truth?"
Mrs. Cong was furious and continued to reprimand: "Qing Xin, you are already a big girl. You should know what you should and should not say! Zhaozhao is your sister, you should be more careful about what you say! These words will not be spoken in the future.
Don’t say any more!”
Fu Qingxin didn't expect that Mrs. Cong would not give her face and would teach her like this in front of her servants.
Feeling aggrieved and dissatisfied, she pursed her lips tightly and ran out without saying a word.
Cong sighed and said to Fu Qingxin's back: "This girl..."
Returning to the Hou Mansion, Fu Zhao first went to the Zhao family.
Fu Zhao said apologetically: "Sister-in-law Four, I didn't invite that great doctor."
Mrs. Zhao sighed and said, "I don't blame you, this is Sister Rui's fate."
