After Fu Siqin accompanied his father on the tour, he found an excuse to let his father return home first, and then went to the military advisor's residence with the servant disguised as the shadow guard.
My father’s military advisor’s surname was Shen, and his given name was Qing.
When he saw the military advisor, Fu Siqin was somewhat surprised at his change, but when his eyes touched his legs, the surprise turned into understanding.
Shen Qing's face is pale now.
He no longer had the gentleness he had before, his features were cold and a little melancholy.
Fu Siqin thought that when the military advisor saw him, there would be resentment in his eyes, or he would ignore him coldly.
After all, his legs were most likely broken by his father.
However, there was nothing. Even when I looked at myself, I still felt the familiar gentleness.
This made Fu Siqin confused.
However, before he could be puzzled for long, Shen Qing spoke.
"Are you here to ask about your father?"
"Yes..." Fu Siqin nodded.
"Let's talk in the study." Shen Qing said, turned on his wooden wheelchair and went into the study.
Because of Shen Qing's physical condition, some adjustments were made to the buildings of the Shen Mansion so that he could move around.
"I guess you have noticed something wrong with your father." Shen Qing did not choose to look down on Fu Siqin just because he was only ten years old.
Fu Siqin looks a lot like his father, and not just in appearance.
He does not have the childishness or recklessness that a child should have. His features are calm and his behavior is beginning to show a sophisticated style.
This look was exactly the same as when Shen Qing first met his father.
"Yes, that's why my nephew came here today."
Shen Qing held the teacup in his hand, rubbing the patterns on it carefully, and did not directly answer his question.
"You are very similar to your father... You can now support the entire general's mansion, but when your father was your age, he was already on the battlefield killing the enemy."
"When my father was ten years old..." Hearing Uncle Shen's words, Fu Siqin was a little surprised, "How did Uncle Shen know?"
His father had told him about his time in the army, but they were all stories about killing the enemy in battle, ambushes, or raids in the middle of the night.
Fu Siqin had never heard his father talk about his youth, so when Uncle Shen mentioned it, he became curious.
"Your father and I entered the military at the same time, so I naturally know."
Shen Qing is not from a big family. His family died early, and he grew up eating at other people's homes.
When he was thirteen, there was a conscription period. Thinking that he would have no worries about food in the barracks, he went to join the army to replace the son of Aunt Niu who had taken care of him for many years.
In the military camp, he met Fu Yuting, who was younger than him.
The first time he saw him, Shen Qing felt that the young boy didn't look like a child at all, and he would surely achieve great things in the future.
So, the thirteen-year-old Shen Qing got entangled with the ten-year-old Fu Yuting, and followed him from then on.
Later, Fu Yuting spent five years transforming himself into a demon god who would kill people if he was stopped by humans and kill Buddhas if he was stopped by Buddhas. This name intimidated the other countries and made them never dare to act rashly again.
Fu Yuting climbed up from a small soldier to the position of general.
Shen Qing also changed from someone who knew only a few words at the beginning to a military strategist with outstanding talents and strategies.
Shen Qing had never seen Fu Yuting on the battlefield. Others described him as mighty and brave, decisive in killing, and at such a young age, he possessed the aura of a single man standing against ten thousand.
But he had seen other aspects of Fu Yuting, for example, his intelligence and strategy were not inferior to his military advisor.
For example, although he looks extremely cold and heartless, there is a person living in his soft heart.
Recalling this, Shen Qing seemed to remember the shock he felt when he found out that Fu Yuting already had a lover at such a young age, and he still found it funny now.
"You may not imagine that your father fought so hard in the battlefield to kill the enemy just to get promoted and marry your mother in a grand ceremony."
In fact, Fu Yuting's goal at the time was that simple.
At the age of fifteen, Fu Yuting was awarded the title of the Invincible God of War. At the age of seventeen, he was appointed as a general by the emperor and given a general's mansion.
At the age of eighteen, he married the second brother of the Mu family who was born out of wedlock as his principal husband.
At that time, this feat stunned everyone.
Just as Shen Qing thought, Fu Siqin was indeed surprised. It turned out that his father and grandmother had known each other for a long time?
"Then why... has my father become like this now?"
Of course he knew how much his father loved his mother.
Although his memories before the age of five are not clear, Fu Siqin vaguely remembers how strong his father's possessiveness towards his mother was.
He was so strong that he didn't even let his son go.
During the meal, he watched his father and mother serving food to each other, and he could only sit opposite them in frustration and let the maid help him.
Every night, his father would pull him out of his nanny's quilt, stuff his little pillow into his nanny's arms, and let him go back to his own room to sleep.
There were many other things, big and small, that Fu Siqin could no longer remember clearly.
In short, ever since he could remember, he felt that his father loved his mother very much, so much so that he even got jealous of his son.
But why has my father become like this now?
What happened?
Hearing Fu Siqin's doubts and confusion, Shen Qing seemed to have thought of something and his face suddenly darkened.
"A year ago, your father was shot in the heart by an arrow on the battlefield and was in critical condition. After a month of recovery, he finally woke up, but..."
One year ago... I was shot in the heart by an arrow...
Uncle Shen's words kept echoing in Fu Siqin's mind.
So that's it... So this was the reason why my father-in-law and the guards in the mansion were acting abnormally at that time!
"But your father couldn't remember a lot of things after he woke up. He only remembered the seven years from when he joined the army at the age of ten to when he was appointed general at the age of seventeen."
…
After leaving the Shen Mansion, Fu Siqin felt extremely heavy in his heart. His father had actually lost his memory!
Recalling Uncle Shen's words, 'Fu Yuting, who has lost his memory, is already afraid to go into battle and kill the enemy, and has only a vague idea of how to deploy troops,' Fu Siqin didn't know how to react.
However, is this just as simple as amnesia?
Fu Siqin didn't know, but the lingering sense of disharmony in his heart told him that things might not be that simple.
Can just amnesia make a person completely different?
Moreover, the military advisors' response was not right.
Fu Siqin's intuition told him that the military advisor must be hiding something from him. And this thing was very likely close to the truth.
Here, Fu Siqin walked out of the Shen Mansion, and Muqinyi, who had just returned to the General's Mansion, ran into two people who were about to leave the mansion.
Seeing the familiar figure walking towards this side from afar, Muqin raised the corners of his lips consciously.
However, after seeing the woman in red holding his arm, the corners of his lips froze.
Yes, she had forgotten that her husband was no longer the man who had always doted on her.
If Muqin could see them, it also meant that the two people who came over also saw him.
When the two men approached, Muqin Yi had regained his proper and dignified appearance, with an impeccable smile on his face.
However, if you cover the lower half of his face and only look at his eyes, you can't tell that he is smiling.
"Did my husband just come back from outside?" Hongying asked curiously with a smile on her face.
Women or boys in the backyard generally would not leave the house easily unless accompanied by their husbands or sons.
However, in the imperial city, Xylophone is an exception.
Everyone knows how favored the general's wife is. Even if it's the stars in the sky, as long as the general wants it, he will definitely try his best to pick it for him.
Moreover, there is an unspoken agreement in this imperial city: no matter who you mess with, don't mess with the general's wife, or you will die without knowing how.
Of course, this is a thing of the past.
As early as the day when the general returned victoriously, the news that he rode with a woman spread throughout the imperial city, and the general's wife had become a topic of conversation for others after dinner.
Hearing Hongying's hidden meaning, Muqin raised her eyes and looked at her, her eyes were calm, "Well, accompany Qin'er out of the house for a walk, are you going out, General?"
Before Fu Yuting could respond, Hongying spoke up, "I followed my husband to Xinglan Country, and I have never seen the prosperity of the imperial city. And the doctor said that going out for a walk would be good for the baby in my belly."
As she spoke, Hongying seemed a little embarrassed and her cheeks turned red.
Seeing her shameless look, Qiu Shuang, who was standing behind her master, gritted her teeth and wanted to go up and punch her, but was stopped by Liang Xia who knew her character.
After receiving Liangxia's warning look, Qiu Shuang shuddered and dared not make any more small movements.
Hongying is a very evil woman. Qiu Shuang dare not let her catch her and cause trouble for her master.
Muqin was unaware of the maid's little move behind him. He turned his head to look at the man standing next to Hongying.
Their eyes met, and Fu Yuting looked away first, "We'll eat outside at noon, no need to wait."
Without waiting for his answer, Fu Yuting led his people away, looking impatient, as if something was chasing them.
Muqinyi didn't look away until their figures disappeared outside the gate.
It turns out that he really no longer has any feelings for him.
After more than ten years of relationship, he let it go without any regrets.
After a long time, Muqin chuckled, and the warmth in his eyes no longer existed.
"Go back."
After that day, Muqin never left the main courtyard again, and even had his meals in his own courtyard.
Fu Yuting never set foot in the main courtyard again. He ate with Hongying, and at night he either stayed in the Red Maple Courtyard or slept in the study.
In short, just don’t come to the main courtyard.
For a whole month, the two masters of the General's Mansion had not met each other.
The servants in the mansion went from being uneasy and restless in the beginning to being accustomed to it now.
As for Hongying, she wanted to do something, but unfortunately her husband did not come out, and she was exempted from paying her respects because she was pregnant.
In addition, the main courtyard was heavily guarded, and the four maids were unyielding to any persuasion, so Hongying had no choice but to give up her thoughts and focus on taking care of her baby.
As for outside the palace, the news that the general's wife was no longer favored had already spread throughout the entire imperial city.
