Fortunately, it’s not too late. Why should I continue to be entangled with such a man?

"Walk!"

Seeing Chen Fu like this, Xiao Yu didn't continue to pester her. He glanced at Shen Changshan and the others with a warning before leaving.

The carriage on the way was extremely quiet.

The sounds of birds outside the sedan could be heard clearly.

In the dark night, there is only the sound of insects. Chen Fu sat on the sedan chair, half leaning against the window with her chin propped up.

On the opposite side, Xiao Yu's gaze fell on her face from time to time.

There was deep heartache in his eyes.

He didn't know what was going on. Looking at Chen Fu lying there like a withered flower, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, one cut after another.

He didn't like this feeling, so he reached out and pulled the person opposite him into his arms.

A gentle sound broke the silence.

Shen Fu opened her eyes and found herself in the arms of His Majesty.

"But are you unhappy?" Xiao Yu reached out and touched Chen Fu's head.

The movements under the palm were very gentle.

Shen Fu snuggled in his arms and rubbed the Emperor's neck: "No."

“Chen Fu, people need to be honest.”

Above his head, His Majesty’s gaze fell on Shen Fu. The hand under the palm of his hand caressed Shen Fu's back little by little: "If you are not happy, you still have to say you are happy."

"Why bother to speak if you don't follow your heart?"

Shen Fu was held in the arms of His Majesty, and nodded when she heard His Majesty's words.

Thinking of something, he shook it again.

"I'm not lying. I really don't know if I'm unhappy."

"I can't tell."

After all, Chen Changshan was her biological father. Even though she had no hope in him, meeting him could still lift her emotions.

After all, she had been looking forward to it for many years, even if she had given up on him.

It can be seen that the way he treated Aunt Cui, Shen Fu still felt that it was not worth it.

It’s not worth it for myself, and even more so for the Gu family.

"What's troubling you? Can't you tell me?" Xiao Yu hooked Chen Fu's hair with his fingertips.

Knowing why Shen Fu is troubled is one thing.

But getting Shen Fu to believe in herself is even more difficult.

He had to let Shen Fu take the initiative to speak.

"Chen Fu, don't you even believe in me?" His Majesty's fingertips groped, and Chen Fu snuggled in his arms.

I could hear a hint of expectation in it.

That’s right, His Majesty, doesn’t he know everything?

What could Shen Fu hide from him? At this time, His Majesty was probably just testing her, wanting her to speak first.

As a woman who relies on him wholeheartedly, no matter how strong she is, she will be exposed at this time.

It would be better to show weakness appropriately.

Shen Fu's heart beat a little, and then she raised her head tentatively: "Cui..."

She opened her mouth and just uttered these two words, then subconsciously swallowed the words back.

Shen Fu timidly raised her head and glanced at His Majesty, then looked away: “Cui, Cui’s child looks very much like my biological mother.”

Xiao Yu probably didn't expect Chen Fu to confess to him.

I was stunned for a moment, and then I was filled with waves of heartache.

He held Shen Fu's palm: "How do you know?"

I have clearly warned Shen Changshan not to talk nonsense with the Shen family in front of Shen Fu!

Could it be that he secretly sent someone to pass on the message while I wasn't paying attention?

Xiao Yu became furious when he thought of Chen Fu's helplessness when she heard these words.

"Who told you?" His Majesty grabbed her hand, and from his expression, it seemed that she was lying on the table.

His Majesty clearly knows all this.

I made the right bet.

Shen Fu felt relieved, but at the same time she felt fortunate.

Fortunately, I said it out loud.

If she keeps it secret, the emperor's heart will be as unfathomable as a needle in the sea.

I won't say that I doubt her, but I'm afraid that we will become less close.

"No one told me that." Chen Fu pretended not to notice the emperor's misconduct.

She raised her head and looked at His Majesty, with a hint of innocence in her eyes: "Why does His Majesty ask this?"

"Nothing." The emperor's palm fell down.

He laughed dryly twice, then looked at Shen Fu again: "Then how did you know?"

It’s okay for no one to gossip in front of Shen Fu.

"I saw it with my own eyes." Chen Fu sighed deeply.

"At my maternal grandfather's house in Suzhou, there are portraits of my mother from childhood to adulthood." Chen Fu grew up in Suzhou, and her maternal grandfather's house is her own home.

At first, she asked every day why her father didn't come to see her.

Seeing Chen Changshan's concern for Cui, he was afraid that there might be another hidden story.

I’m afraid that every time I ask, my grandfather’s family will feel uncomfortable.

Chen Fu sighed: "I saw my mother's portrait when I was young, and she is somewhat similar to Cui Shi today."

When she said that there was some similarity, she was actually putting it mildly. She had seen a portrait of her biological mother. The children of the Gu family had very high painting skills. Shen Fu's biological mother and Cui's eyes and eyebrows were very similar.

It is normal for women, as long as they are beautiful, to have some similarities.

Chen Fu is like that. She is good-looking and has met people who look like her.

Such as Meng Siyao and Shen Qingru.

But she and Shen Qingru were born of the same father, so it was normal for them to be somewhat similar.

The Queen Mother had people search for Meng Siyao from all over the place, and she was chosen with great care and consideration.

But what about Cui? Why is she doing this?

There was no reason for it, but there were relatives. Was it intentional or unintentional on the part of Cui and her mother?

Shen Fu didn’t dare to think about it.

"Ms. Cui does look somewhat like your biological mother." Above his head, the Emperor's gaze fell on Shen Fu's face.

After a sigh, his palm fell on her head.

"This is all Shen Changshan's fault." He didn't mention his biological father, but just called him by his name.

Chen Fu heard the hidden meaning and couldn't help but raise her head: "Is it that mother looks like her, or is it that Cui looks like mother."

These words made no sense, but the emperor understood them.

He touched Shen Fu's hand more gently: "Shen Changshan and Cui have been childhood sweethearts and grew up together."

"Cui is an orphan. Shen Changshan was unwilling to marry her, so he chose your mother."

After a pause, he continued, “Before Shen Changshan married, Cui was pregnant.

In order to save face, the Shen family claimed that Shen Qingru was an orphan and kept her by their side.

In fact, she should be the eldest daughter. ”

The chaos in Shen Fu's mind was resolved.

Shen Changshan wanted to marry Cui's mother, so he chose her mother who looked a bit like Cui.

Her biological mother, Gu, has been a substitute for others ever since her father died.

䀴Her daughter, Shen Qingru, followed suit.

She almost became Shen Qingru's substitute!

"Shameless!" he squeezed out from between his teeth.

Shen Fu turned her head and couldn't help but retching towards the corner.

How could there be such a shameless person in the world? !
