Seeing that the person was silent, Fucha Qinglan became somewhat worried and her face showed a hint of wariness.

After the family split up, the household size became smaller. With no grandparents left, there were only three people in the family: him, his mother, and his younger sister. Now that he needed to go to school at the academy, a very robust-looking man came to the house. He didn't answer when asked questions, so Fucha Qinglan became wary.

Fucha Mingsi also noticed the wariness in his son's eyes. His heart suddenly clenched. He blamed his son for not appearing all these years, making it difficult to send letters. He rarely received letters from his wife, and even when he did, they only said that everything was fine.

Most of the letters he sent contained silver notes. The emperor had never shortchanged him in terms of money. In order to make his wife and children live a better life, he filled most of his letters with silver notes.

Because of this kind of communication, Fucha Mingsi rarely knew about his family's situation. Judging from his son's appearance, he probably suffered a lot on a daily basis.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a wary reaction to someone coming.

Actually, Fucha Mingsi misunderstood. His wife and children hadn't really suffered much. Since Yinzhen had employed Fucha Mingsi, he naturally investigated him thoroughly. He also sent people to keep an eye on his wife and children's movements, partly to keep an eye on them and partly to protect them.

Yinzhen was a very thoughtful man. He couldn't let his wife and children live in misery when they returned after so many years of being kept away from home.

Fucha Qinglan was wary because, apart from him, the rest of the family members were women. Fucha Mingsi had come over abruptly without saying a word, so Fucha Qinglan had to be on guard for the sake of his mother and sister.

Fucha Mingsi: "I am Father."

Fucha Qinglan was stunned. He knew he had a father, and his mother often showed him letters, but his memory of her was already hazy, and he didn't recognize her.

Fucha Mingsi was accompanied by his usual servants, but he was so eager to go home that he had sent them away.

Before the father and son could say anything, a guard and a servant appeared from behind.

The guard approached and said, "My lord, you ran too fast. I couldn't keep up." Then he turned his gaze to Fucha Qinglan and said, "This must be your son, my lord. He is indeed a handsome young man."

Fucha Qinglan was still confused, so Fucha Mingsi said, "Let's go inside and talk!"

Now even Fucha Qinglan won't be able to enter the academy.

Fucha Qinglan instructed his page, "Go to the academy and ask the teacher for leave on my behalf."
