I had some cakes with my husband, and soon my son came home from school.
Sitting aside and listening to their conversation, Fu Yuting would occasionally interject.
After a while, Fu Yuting came out of the house and walked into the small study.
"Wu Yi."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yi appeared in the small study, knelt on one knee, bowed his head and said respectfully, "Master."
"After I left, did anything happen in the mansion? What was wrong with Fu Yuting?"
Wu Yi is the leader of the twelve shadow guards of the Wu generation. His main responsibility is to assist his son Fu Siqin in managing the general's office.
However, after Fu Yuting came back, he asked him to monitor Fu Yuting and report any unusual movements to him immediately.
"My master, Princess Anyang suddenly had a miscarriage, Fu..." Just after saying the last name, Wu Yi suddenly remembered that this was his master's name, and for a moment he didn't know how to address that person.
Hearing Wu Yi's hesitation, Fu Yuting said indifferently, "Just call me by my name."
"Yes." Wu Yi continued, "When Fu Yuting heard that Princess Anyang had suddenly gone into labor, she passed out without warning. After waking up, she behaved strangely."
As soon as Wu finished speaking, the small study fell into silence.
Fu Yuting looked out the window with his hands behind his back, rubbing the small beads on his left wrist with his fingers.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "Can you find out the reason why Princess Anyang had a miscarriage?"
"It has been found out. After Fu Yuting woke up, he invited a Taoist priest into his house. The Taoist priest said that an evil spirit had entered his body."
Evil aura... Fu Yuting thought of the group of people he and his husband met yesterday.
It seems that it is his fate.
As for her own people, Fu Yuting would not let them be tainted by her evil spirit in the slightest, and she even added a few more layers of seals on herself when they came into contact with her husband and children.
As for the people he doesn't like, sorry, it's their bad luck if they meet him.
After asking some more questions and getting the answers, Fu Yuting planned to find time tomorrow to go to Fu Yuting's place in person to take a look.
He suddenly fell into a coma, and his behavior after waking up was somewhat abnormal.
Either he was possessed by a ghost, or he had recovered some of his abilities, either his skills or his memory.
In short, the biggest problem now lies with Fu Yuting.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Go down first."
"Yes, Master."
After Wu Yi left, Fu Yuting said loudly, "Come in."
The study door opened and the person who came in was his son Fu Siqin.
"Father, I heard that the man has put talismans to ward off evil spirits everywhere in the mansion, but will it be harmful to you?" Fu Siqin looked a little worried.
"It's okay, the talisman is useless to me." Fu Yuting pulled his son to his side and rubbed his head.
"That's good……"
Having been separated from his father for six years, Fu Siqin felt his face flushed and a little embarrassed when he was suddenly treated so intimately by his father.
However, he did not hide away.
"But, that person suddenly did this, did he discover something?"
"I think so. Even if he hasn't discovered it now, he will become suspicious after a long time." Fu Yuting put his hand on his son's shoulder, "So father plans to take you and your father away from Xinglan Country after some time."
Hearing what his father said, Fu Siqin was a little surprised, "Leaving Xinglan Country?"
"Isn't father going to take back his body?" Fu Siqin thought that after his father came back, the next step would be to get rid of the ghost that occupied his body and take back his body.
"Why do you have such an idea?" When Fu Yuting heard his son's words, he lowered his head and looked at him in surprise and sneered.
Fu Yuting would rather throw away something that someone else has used than take it back, even if it is his own body.
Moreover, he recalled the news he had heard on the day he returned to the imperial city.
After General Fu returned triumphantly, he lingered in brothels every night and used a large sum of money to redeem the courtesans of Cuiying Tower and Meihua Pavilion. The legend of the general and his wife's years of love was shattered.
In just one year, a large group of women entered the general's mansion, and even had several children.
If he really took back his body, there would be a woman in the backyard between him and his husband, and there would really be a barrier between their relationship.
He would never do anything to make his husband sad.
Of course, if it was something uncontrollable, like the accidental death, which he could not have predicted, that would be a different matter.
Hearing the disdain in his father's voice, Fu Siqin realized that what he had just said was ridiculous.
"It was my son who said something wrong."
If that person had not done those things with my father's body, my father might still have been able to get his body back.
However, the meaning of my father's words was very clear. To put it bluntly, this body is already dirty. Wouldn't it be disgusting to take it back?
"Then is there anything I need my son to do?" Fu Siqin asked, looking up.
He was happy to help his father without having to think about everything and could also exercise himself.
Well...if things go wrong, I still have my father to take care of it.
"Of course there is. The wealth that my father has accumulated over the years cannot be wasted on those people."
Hearing his father's ambiguous words, Fu Siqin nodded and understood.
The money in the general's mansion and all the shops under his name were accumulated bit by bit by my father, who paid for it with his life. They should not be given to that man and his concubines for free.
Speaking of this, Fu Siqin recalled how much money the man had squandered in the mansion over the past year.
Before, he thought his father had lost his memory, and as a son, he naturally couldn't control his father.
However, now I know that man is not my father at all.
Therefore, when Fu Siqin thought about the man using his father's body and spending their family's money, he felt painful.
It's not that he is money-obsessed, but his nature is different.
Is giving money voluntarily the same as having money taken away from you?
"Let the butler help you sell as many shops and lands under the name of the general's mansion as possible during this period of time."
Of course, all this must be done without alarming anyone.
"Yes." Fu Siqin nodded and replied, "By the way, father, as for grandfather..."
Hearing his son mention the Fu Mansion, Fu Yuting frowned subconsciously, with some disgust in his eyes, "Don't worry about them, our family has nothing to do with them anymore."
Fu Siqin had expected his father's reaction. He had no other thoughts when he mentioned this; it was just a routine question.
Fu Yuting had no good feelings towards Fu Fu.
His mother died of illness when he was six years old. In the same year, his father remarried his mother's half-sister. Fu Yuting didn't believe that there was no conspiracy behind this.
A few years later, his father's second wife gave birth to a boy.
If it weren't for the news from the border that Fu Yuting's "young general cut off the enemy's head with a sword, and the enemy retreated thousands of miles", the emperor would not allow any trouble at this time, and Fu Yuting's identity as the legitimate son of the Fu family would be in jeopardy.
However, he didn't want to be the prince.
At the age of sixteen, he was conferred the title of general and given the general's mansion, and then Fu Yuting went out to establish his own family.
Firstly, he didn't want them to lie on him and suck his blood, and secondly, he didn't want Muqin to have a stepmother suppressing him after she married him.
When Fu Yuting was around, no one from the Fu Mansion dared to appear around the General's Mansion.
Even if I see it from a distance on the road, I would rather take a detour.
However, this year Fu Yuting frequented brothels and accepted several concubines and maids given to him by them, so the Fu family had the illusion that the relationship between the two families had eased.
However, even if Fu Yuting's relationship with the Fu Mansion was not that bad, he would not leave Xinglan Kingdom with the people from the Fu Mansion.
The moment he died, his blood relationship with the Fu family was severed.
The next day, Fu Yuting went to find Shen Qing and told him his plan.
Given the choice of leaving or staying, Shen Qing chose the former without any hesitation.
After explaining everything to the military advisor, Fu Yuting returned home and began to secretly watch Fu Yuting.
However, there were some eye-catching scenes during the video, and Fu Yuting, who was afraid of being disgusted, only left some mental energy and went to find his husband.
Hard work pays off.
Five days later, the man finally took action, and Fu Yuting followed him into the small dark room hidden in the study.
After entering, Fu Yuting saw the altar with intricate patterns at first glance.
Fu Yuting felt a little uneasy, his eyes dimmed and he became secretly alert.
A green jade box was placed on the stone pillar in the middle of the altar. The box was open and contained an antique black ring.
Recalling the fantasy novels about cultivating immortals that he had read in his previous life, Fu Yuting couldn't help but wonder whether there was a soul in the ring.
Commonly known as the grandpa in the male protagonist's ring.
If there is, then he, a ghost cultivator, and the other party's ring master are staying in the same space, isn't it just a coincidence?
Careless!
Not long after, under Fu Yuting's gaze, something really floated out of the ring, and then condensed above the ring into a skinny old man.
From the moment the soul floated out, Fu Yuting's alert reached the highest level.
However, both the man and the soul began to speak, and they did not notice his existence.
So, this ring is a low-end version?
Fu Yuting thought about it and felt that it was most likely a low-profile version. After all, this world was a mortal world lacking in spiritual energy.
Moreover, after his death a year ago, he turned into a fierce ghost due to anger and unwillingness. When the lightning struck him, Fu Yuting knew that this world was limited by rules.
Monks from the upper realms are generally not allowed to enter the mortal world, so as not to disrupt the balance of this world.
Of course, if someone in this world is lucky enough to find the great way and cultivate to a certain level, he can no longer stay in the mortal world.
As for why Fu Yuting is not excluded by the mortal world now, it is because he is the only exception.
He still couldn't figure out the specific reason.
However, even though this ring was a low-end version, Fu Yuting did not let his guard down.
Who knows if he is pretending?
"After so much time, why hasn't there been any progress?" the old man said somewhat unhappily.
"Mr. Yuan, the talisman you gave me may not be very effective. The evil creatures hiding in the dark are not moving at all." Fu Yuting said.
"That's impossible. A second-grade evil-repelling talisman would be overkill here. It's impossible for it to have no effect."
The old man didn't believe it, and looked at Fu Yuting with some suspicion, "You are not lying to me, are you, or this child didn't fall away for no reason..."
"You doubt me?!"
Seeing that the man was really angry and not pretending, the old man's expression softened. "Let's put aside the royal family first. How about the luck and merits you have gained in this body?"
"It has little effect. I always feel that the luck and merits of this body are not as exaggerated as you say." Fu Yuting paused and said, "Could it be that you miscalculated?"
After hearing this, Fu Yuting finally understood.
