Chapter 68 Want to Steal

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Zhu family. Zhu Qingze took the lead and stepped forward to help his old man get out of the carriage.

However, when the curtain of the carriage was lifted, the person who came out was the Prince of Wei, dressed in crimson official uniform.

Wei Rong looked at the outstretched arm and the dazed face of the second master of the Zhu family, and without any hesitation, he stretched out his hand to support himself and got out of the car swiftly.

"You are so kind, my Lord."

After getting off the carriage, he thanked the owner very politely.

Zhu Qingze: ...

To the rest of the family:!!!

Then the car curtain was lifted again, and the energetic Mr. Zhu finally appeared.

Zhu Moshan immediately spotted the little girl standing at the door, eating pastries with puffy cheeks.

He jumped off the carriage and walked quickly towards the little girl.

The cat finished the last piece of cake in his hand, looked at the cake crumbs on his fingers, and wanted to lick them, but he was now holding the body of a beautiful biped, so he couldn't do that, as it was an unclean behavior.

Suddenly a familiar smell came, the cat sniffed it, and its eyes suddenly lit up.

It's Ah Fu's scent!!! I walked towards it.

Zhu Moshan looked at his lively and lovely granddaughter walking towards him. His feet moved faster and his arms raised unconsciously.

"My dear grandson..."

He only felt a breeze blowing, and his granddaughter who was running towards him brushed past him and ran straight towards the person behind him.

Zhu Moshan: ??? He has such a big and sweet granddaughter?

The other members of the Zhu family were stunned when they saw Yun Fu running towards Prince Wei.

When Wei Rong saw the girl in a grass-green silk dress running towards him with her skirt lifted, his mind went blank for a moment.

It should be avoided, but it feels like the feet have taken root and it is difficult to move.

This face is Ah Fu.

Even when he pounced, Wei Rong's hand under his crimson purple sleeve unconsciously wanted to raise up.

Just at this moment, Zhu Chenye stepped forward quickly and stopped his little cousin.

Maomao smelled a strong scent of Ah Fu on this person.

Before I could get close to smell it carefully, my hand was pulled away.

When I turned around, I saw the familiar two-legged beast.

"Fufu, we can't offend the noble."

Lu Fanglin came to her senses and quickly stepped forward to pull Yun Fu behind her to protect her.

As Yun Fu's uncle, Zhu Qingze quickly apologized to Prince Wei.

"Please forgive me, my niece is seriously ill. I am a child, so please forgive me if I have offended her."

Wei Rong calmly lowered his slightly raised hand, looked at the girl who was still staring at him, frowned, tried his best to suppress the urge to steal her away, and uttered two words lightly.

"Nothing."

Zhu Moshan had already learned from his second son's letter that his granddaughter had woken up, but she was not talkative after waking up. She was extremely quiet and well-behaved, with a temperament like that of a three-year-old child.

I felt relieved but also bitter. How could such a good child become like this? My resentment towards the Su family grew even deeper.

Wei Rong knew that inside Ah Fu's body was the soul of a cat, and it was running towards him because he smelled like Ah Fu.

One person and one cat, but they are so similar in their cuteness.

Zhu Moshan noticed the look in Wei Rong's eyes when he looked at his granddaughter, as well as Afu's action of rushing towards him just now, and he immediately became alert.

He said directly, "I'd like to trouble you to see me off today. I just arrived in Beijing and my house is a mess. I won't invite you to have dinner. After I clean up, I'll invite you to come for tea."

Wei Rong bowed to Mr. Zhu and said, "Mr. Zhu, you are too polite. I still have to report to the palace, so I will not disturb you for now."

After saying this, he got on the carriage and left the Zhu Mansion.

After the carriage drove away, Zhu Moshan looked at his granddaughter beside his second daughter-in-law again and lowered his voice. His usually solemn and serious voice now sounded kind and gentle.

"Afu, I'm your grandfather. This is the first time we meet. He has prepared a lot of things for you. Do you want to go and see them together?"

The cat felt a little resistant to the old man in front of it because he was not familiar with him and the smell was strange.

Therefore, when the old man spoke, his body couldn't help but move back.

Such an action made Zhu Moshan feel sad.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuxi comforted him, "Grandpa, Fu Fu is a little timid after waking up. After a few days of getting familiar with you, she will take the initiative to get close to you. Don't be sad."

Zhu Moshan looked at his granddaughter who looked 50% like his dead daughter, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

She could only suppress her tears and walked into the mansion surrounded by the crowd.

The onlookers did not recognize Mr. Zhu, but they recognized Prince Wei who was dressed in purple official robes.

The main reason was that the face of the Prince of Wei was too prominent, and there were rumors a few days ago that the dead Prince of Wei was alive again, and helped His Majesty capture the traitor and become king.

For a time, all kinds of rumors spread among the people, and some people even wrote them into novels and spread them in teahouses and restaurants.

Wei Rong had long been accustomed to these rumors. When the people lived and worked in peace and the economy was prosperous, they had time to make up rumors and listen to gossip, so he just let them be.

After removing the cancer of King Cheng, Ji Chenghe immediately promoted his own people to fill the vacant position in the court.

In particular, several retired ministers who had followed Emperor Taizu in governing the world were invited out of retirement and won praise from many court officials.

Of course, there were some opposing voices, but they were silenced by Wei Rong who was reinstated.

Not to mention having any opinions, they didn't even dare to fart in the court and had to behave themselves like a coward.

Zhu Moshan served as prime minister, and the previous prime minister was Su Chengyi, Zhu's son-in-law.

This clever identity made Su Chengyi a laughing stock among his colleagues.

Su Chengyi's position in the court has now been relegated to the back, and a new person has taken the position that originally belonged to him.

This is his deceased wife’s biological father and his nominal father-in-law.

Su Chengyi, who always cared about his reputation, felt like he was being roasted on a grill every day when he went to court.

I hadn't slept well for several nights and went to court with dark circles under my eyes.

After Zhu Moshan took office as prime minister, he took over various affairs, big and small, and was busy implementing various reforms. He was completely unaware of Su Chengyi's anxieties.

Finally I have time, it’s my day off.

He was busy spending time with his lovely grandson and sending invitations to Wei Xiaozi.

Wei Rong, who received the invitation, was cutting the nails of a little creature that had scratched its paws while playing outside.

The reason was that Yun Fu found a nest of baby birds on a big tree in a corner of the Duke's Mansion today.

Cats have a natural hunting instinct for birds, which makes Yun Fu extremely interested in the bird in the tree.

Every day when I have time, I run to the tree to take bird eggs.

Today, when the bird was halfway through taking out the eggs, it was pecked on the head by a big bird. When it tried to resist, its claws grabbed the branch and it broke due to excessive force.

He limped back to the yard and happened to meet Wei Rong who was coming down from court.

Yun Fu fell to the ground and started meowing, showing her injured paws to the man.

Wei Rong was frightened when he saw Ah Fu screaming particularly miserably.

After understanding the whole story, we could only cut off the scratched claws of one of the little guys who was still crying. Fortunately, no flesh was torn.

"Ouch~" Be gentle!

"Meow~" It hurts~ Cut it gently~

Wei Rong, who hadn't started trimming her claws yet, said: ...
