Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Beautiful and Strong Miserable Dad 21

After the banquet, the Qiqiao Festival soon arrived. This was a women's festival, and Feng Pansheng had rarely paid attention to it before. But since Zhuozhuo's new friends were inviting her out one after another, he decided to learn more about it.

This understanding is quite remarkable. There's nothing wrong with the Qiqiao Festival itself; it's a time for girls to look at the stars, pray for dexterity, and have fun together. What's problematic is the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl that has emerged from it, and the fact that some people pray for marriage on the Qiqiao Festival.

Feng Pansheng was completely unable to understand everyone's sympathy and pity for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. He put himself in the shoes of the Queen Mother of the West. He felt that the Queen Mother should not have drawn a Milky Way with a hairpin, but should have cut the Cowherd's neck with a hairpin. He also thought that the Weaver Girl was mentally ill.

This so-called love was so ridiculous that Feng Pansheng didn't even bother to tell Zhuozhuo what he was thinking. But when he learned that Zhuozhuo was searching the palace for grape trellises and wanted to listen to the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl's secret conversations on the Magpie Bridge at night, Feng Pansheng became so worried that he couldn't sit still.

Putting aside his official duties, Feng Pansheng hurriedly found Zhuozhuo, picked her up and placed her on the table. He patiently asked, "Zhuozhuo, why did you listen to the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl's secret meeting?"

Zhuozhuo said childishly, "I want to cheer for Sister Zhinu and let her beat Cowherd to death!" She waved her fists angrily, "Daddy, do you know how to get to the Magpie Bridge? I'm afraid Sister Zhinu won't win."

Feng Pansheng was completely surprised by what Zhuozhuo would say. He was stunned for a moment, unable to suppress the smile that spread across his lips. "We can't get on the Magpie Bridge, but Zhuozhuo, don't worry. The Weaver Girl is the Queen Mother's granddaughter and a deity. Cowherd can't defeat her."

"But, since the Cowherd is carrying a child, the Weaver Girl won't be able to defeat him." She added, "Why?"

Zhuozhuo didn't really understand why the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl could change their hearts just by having a child, but the storyteller made it sound like it was perfectly natural and something everyone agreed with, so she just blindly accepted it. Now, in front of Feng Pansheng, Zhuozhuo asked.

"Because Zhinu cares about the child," Feng Pansheng took the opportunity to teach the child, "but even if she cares about the child, she can't put herself at risk. She should ask the Queen Mother to take the child with her. Even if she can't take the child to heaven, she should hide it where Niulang can't find her. She can't leave it to Niulang to threaten her."

In reality, Feng Pansheng wanted to say that he should kill both Niulang's child and the ox to prevent future trouble. They were a bunch of troublemakers. But Zhuozhuo was too young now, and hearing too much about violence wouldn't be good. He'd tell her when she was older.

Zhuozhuo nodded, not quite understanding, and said angrily, "Cowherd is a bad guy who stole clothes. Sister Zhinu, don't play with him."

This ability to distinguish right from wrong made Feng Pansheng proud and relieved. He said, "Yes, Niulang and the ox are incapable of living a good life themselves, so they try to abduct a beautiful and talented daughter of a noble family to support them. They are shameless and depraved. Such people deserve death."

Zhuozhuo didn't understand, but this sentence sounded very powerful. She nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, clapped her hands like a seal, and echoed in a baby voice, "Kill them all, kill them all."

Because of her own miraculous experience, Zhuozhuo's understanding of death is different from that of ordinary people. In her mind, there is no difference between killing and beating people.

Feng Pansheng genuinely didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhuozhuo's words. He warned her, "Zhuozhuo, no matter what happens in the future, don't be afraid or feel ashamed. Daddy will always protect Zhuozhuo. Anything that hurts you, that you don't like, or that goes against your will, Daddy will make it disappear."

Zhuozhuo said innocently and cutely, "I'm not afraid. I'm not even afraid of Grandpa. I can still protect Daddy."

In her memory, Emperor Zhengping was still the most powerful person in the capital. She was not afraid of Emperor Zhengping, so of course she would not be afraid of anyone else.

Feng Pansheng applauded, "Zhaozhuo is really amazing, really great."

The father and daughter were having a great time. Zhuozhuo suddenly said childishly, "The Queen Mother is a fairy, why doesn't she kill the bad guys?"

Feng Pansheng smiled, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes. Of course, it wasn't directed at the Queen Mother, but at certain people. "Because the gods hold great power and have the responsibility to protect the people, they can't have too much selfishness."

"ah?"

Feng Pansheng explained it in terms Zhuozhuo could understand. Zhuozhuo was extremely confused and said, "But only by killing the bad guys can we protect others."

Feng Pansheng agreed. "Zhuozhuo is absolutely right. Those who make excuses either don't want to intervene or don't dare to intervene. You'll encounter many people who say one thing and mean another. To judge whether a person is good or bad, don't listen to what they say, but look at what they do."

"I know." Zhuozhuo shook his head and said, "I don't need to listen or see. I have a father. I can ask him."

Feng Pansheng was overjoyed, demonstrating his inconsistency with his words and deeds. "You still have to make your own judgment. Daddy will cover for you, but Daddy can't control you forever."

9972 complained silently, there is still hope that he can be in charge for a lifetime. After all, the tasker rarely lives to die of natural causes in a world. Either he dies accidentally or leaves after completing the task.

Zhuozhuo said lovingly, "When I grow up, I will take care of Daddy for the rest of my life."

Feng Pansheng was so flattered that he felt like he was floating in the air, and even had a sense of satisfaction and impulse that "with these words, my life is worth it."

After solving the top priority, Feng Pansheng wanted to settle accounts with others. The first one to be punished was the person who told Zhuozhuo the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, as well as anyone who might have tried to influence Zhuozhuo's thoughts.

After an investigation within the palace, they quickly apprehended two servants and a maid who had been bribed by outsiders. However, they had no involvement in the Qiqiao Festival; they had simply been paid to observe Zhuozhuo's preferences. The person behind the scenes was also uncovered; they had no ill intentions at the moment; they simply wanted to please Zhuozhuo.

Feng Pansheng never tolerated such things, let alone those who dared to plot against Zhuozhuo. After harshly dealing with the relevant personnel, the matter came to an end. This story was told by a child who came to play with Zhuozhuo.

The playmates Feng Pansheng chose for Zhuozhuo were four years old at the youngest and six at the oldest. If they were too young, Zhuozhuo would have to accommodate and take care of them, and if they were too old, they would easily become ambitious and want to harm their master. This little boy was five years old.

I don’t know whether others believe it or not, but Feng Pansheng doesn’t believe that a five-year-old boy could accidentally remember the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl and tell it to Zhuozhuo on his own initiative, so he didn’t listen to the family’s sophistry at all and handed the man over to the Anbu for interrogation.

As expected, this family became ambitious.

At Qixia Villa, they discovered that Zhuozhuo was pampered and valued. He was also raised to be independent-minded, bright, lively, calm, and courageous, actively exploring unfamiliar environments and meeting new people. Even when surrounded by a crowd, he showed no fear.

Zhuozhuo was exceptional, a man rarely matched by any other boy, nurtured with all his family's resources. But such a person was difficult to control, even though she was young. But she was a girl, a young girl at that age, and there were countless ways to deal with her.

There's no need to do anything special, just let her come into contact with the things that "normal" girls come into contact with, and she will grow up to be the person they want her to be.

This family had a good idea. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl was a widely circulated mythological story. Having their child tell it to Zhuozhuo could not only bring them closer together and help them stand out among their playmates, but also tame Zhuozhuo's mind.

Even if Feng Pansheng discovered it, it was normal for children to tell the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl during the Qiqiao Festival. They didn't believe that he could notice anything.

I can only say that stupid people always treat others as fools.

Feng Pansheng dealt with this family, and then, worriedly, sent a group of secret guards to monitor Zhuozhuo's friends and family.

Gan Song, who had been in charge of investigating these people's information, knelt down and apologized. Feng Pansheng didn't blame him, saying, "People's hearts are fickle. Someone might be a good person, but there's just not enough benefit for them to become a bad person."

Conversely, as long as the punishment for being a bad person is severe enough, the bad person will turn himself into a good person. That family's fate was quite tragic, and Feng Pansheng did not suppress the news in order to deter those who were wavering.

No matter how turbulent the government and the people are, Zhuozhuo's place is still calm and peaceful every day.

The Zhongyuan Festival soon arrived. On the Zhongyuan Festival, people worship their ancestors. Early in the morning, Feng Pansheng brought Zhuozhuo, who was still asleep, into the palace. Together with the royal family and court officials, they followed Emperor Zhengping to the Taimiao to worship their ancestors.

Ancestor worship is a solemn and serious matter, but power is even more moving. While waiting, people kept coming to Feng Pansheng, using various excuses. Feng Pansheng, perhaps in a good mood, didn't give them a cold shoulder or send them away, but he ignored them, only responding briefly to questions about Zhuozhuo.

Zhuozhuo had just been fed by Feng Pansheng. She lay in his arms and looked curiously at everyone who came to talk to her, as if she was watching a play with great interest. So when these people praised her, she didn't react much and seemed very cold.

Gradually, everyone started talking about Zhuozhuo, but they didn't pay much attention to her. Suddenly, Zhuozhuo looked at a beautiful girl and said, as if it were a bombshell: "Do you want to be my mother?"

The girl was dressed as a maid, but she didn't look like one. She came with a middle-aged man. Feng Pansheng called the man "Seventeenth Imperial Uncle", but the man called Feng Pansheng "Your Highness" in a fearful manner.

Zhuozhuo couldn't tell what was wrong and was confused for a long time. He only reacted when he heard someone curse "vice princess" in a low voice.

She spoke bluntly, no matter how frightened the man and the girl were. Zhuozhuo leaned close to Feng Pansheng's ear and whispered, "Daddy, she wants to sleep with you. I won't allow it."

In the previous world, Zhuozhuo was obsessed with finding a girlfriend for Qin Jin because Wu Jingqiu had only been in contact with her for a few minutes, and she had no way of realizing that Wu Jingqiu had a relationship with Qin Jin.

After living together in this world for a month, Zhuozhuo already considered Wu Jingqiu her mother. Furthermore, she believed she wasn't dead, just asleep, and would wake up in a few years. In Zhuozhuo's heart, she, Wu Jingqiu, and Feng Pansheng were a family of three, so of course she would earnestly protect their marriage.

Zhuozhuo's voice was low, but everyone was frightened and silent, listening attentively to the noise over there. So people who were not far away heard her overbearing words, which could even be said to be a challenge to patriarchy.

Everyone thought Zhuozhuo was becoming arrogant due to her favor and waited for Feng Pansheng to scold her. However, they heard Feng Pansheng gently say, "Listen to Zhuozhuo." After saying this, Feng Pansheng added, "Zhuozhuo, don't worry. If you don't tell me, Daddy won't find you a stepmother."

Everyone: “…”

Then why is it necessary to say the words "listen to Zhuo Zhuo"? Is it to prove that you are a daughter slave?

However, Feng Pansheng said he wouldn't find a stepmother for Zhuozhuo, but no one took it seriously. When he ascended the throne, his harem would be filled with beauties, each one incredibly charming and stunning. It was hard to believe he could resist.

Zhuozhuo said like a little adult, "Daddy, I believe you. I will remember this for mom." She stretched out her little hand and made a pinky promise.

"Thank you for Zhuozhuo's trust." Feng Pansheng particularly followed Zhuozhuo's sense of ritual. After he pulled the hook, he casually asked, "How did Zhuozhuo find out? You're so smart. Has anyone told you something similar?"

At the time, people were too ashamed to even speak of their joy, let alone talk about sleeping with their stepmother. Even some banned books wouldn't contain such explicit language. These words couldn't have been overheard by Zhuozhuo; someone must have said them to her on purpose.

Feng Pansheng didn't care about these things, but he wouldn't allow others to misunderstand and speculate about Zhuozhuo or spread rumors that were detrimental to her, so he naturally had to ask about it on the spot.

Of course, Feng Pansheng couldn't wait to return home to question and deal with these people with ulterior motives.

The atmosphere at the scene became tense and oppressive due to Feng Pansheng's subtle murderous aura, and those who felt guilty felt like they could not breathe.

"Zhang Jin said so." Zhuo Zhuo, completely unaware, betrayed her friend with her little mouth. After she finished speaking, Gan Song quietly left in the dark and arrested the whole family for interrogation.
