"This kid must be very anxious," the queen said leisurely, "When he first returned to the palace, he was almost absent-minded for a while. Whether it was the noble ladies in the capital or the young ladies from wealthy families, he would not even look at them. You can see how depressed he has been in the past three years. He only has some popularity now."
"Although this is our first meeting, I feel that if Miss Su becomes the Crown Princess, she will definitely be able to control Huai Chu. The Crown Prince is lucky to have her." The Emperor stroked his beard and nodded in approval. He and the Queen had been married for decades, and their feelings and trust were very deep. He touched the Queen's shoulder, "Madam, what was that good idea you just mentioned?"
"Since Huaichu feels guilty and doesn't dare to pursue Ruanruan openly, let's just give him some stimulation. Then he will naturally be able to express his true thoughts," the queen said with a discerning eye. She is very experienced in bringing young people together. In the past, many young couples in the capital were able to be together, and all of them were caused by the queen. "Ruanruan will go to the capital later. At that time, we just need to arrange a few caring young men for her. When Huaichu sees them, he will naturally be jealous, and then..."
The emperor understood immediately. He nodded in approval, a smile on his face. "That's it!"
* Su Zhiruan has been much busier recently than before. As the year draws to a close, she has to personally make decisions on all matters, big or small, whether it is the store or the Chamber of Commerce, and she is busy all day long.
When Fu Huaichu came to her house for the first time, he saw Su Zhiruan rushing out.
"Ruan Ruan." He looked up at her, "Are you going out?"
Su Zhiruan nodded, and signaled the servants to open the door and let Fu Huaichu in, "Yes, do you want to see the folded branches and leaves?"
The guards looked at Su Zhiruan sitting in the carriage and Fu Huaichu, who was tall and graceful with a sad look in his eyes, and immediately smelled the scent of gossip.
When they saw Fu Huaichu's face, they were all shocked! He! He looked exactly like the young master in the mansion. Even if they didn't say a word, just standing together, people would subconsciously think that they were a family.
The guards looked at each other, and an answer came to their minds - this might be the biological father of the young master and young lady!
"Come here." Su Zhiruan held the account book in his hand and waved to call the guard over. "From now on, if this distinguished guest wants to go in to look for the young master and the young lady, just let him in."
"yes."
Su Zhiruan's words almost confirmed their guess. The fact that he was able to enter the mansion unimpeded and see the two young masters showed that he was not an ordinary person.
Fu Huaichu stood at the gate, watching Su Zhiruan's carriage slowly drive away, and finally go farther and farther away until it disappeared from sight.
"Young Master, please..." The guard on his left had not spoken. After Su Zhiruan's carriage left, he spoke at the right time to remind Fu Huaichu, "I will take you in to find the two young masters."
"Thank you."
At this time, he followed the guard into the mansion, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his originally dry palms.
The person he was going to see now was his child.
The last time he bumped into him on the street, he only had guesses and doubts in his mind.
But now it has been confirmed that Zheye Zhezhi are indeed his children. After three years, he has not even taken care of the two children and Su Zhiruan, so he can't help feeling guilty.
The Su family's house is not small. The guard leads the way in front. You pass through the side of the main hall and go around the left to the small garden in the backyard. It is very tidy, with some simple and elegant flowers, a rocky rockery, and a clear spring running through it, with a stone arch bridge over it.
Next to the rockery, there is a large pavilion. Two children are sitting together, holding account books in their hands, frowning, as if they are discussing something.
Zhezhi held a brush in her small hand. Although she was still very young, her pen-holding posture was very standard. She wrote and drew on the account book stroke by stroke. There were two abacuses beside her, one was a large wooden abacus, and the other was placed next to Zheye's hand. He moved the abacus, feeling a little helpless.
"Zhezhi, I'll watch you do the accounting. I feel dizzy looking at the account books." Zheye is usually a steady brother, but when it comes to accounting, he admits he is not as good as Zhezhi. He shook his head and said, "No wonder mother always said that everyone has their own expertise. If I had to face this kind of thing all day, my head would probably explode."
"Brother, take a rest. It'll be fine as long as you don't split the account book," Zhezhi sorted out all the account books spread out in front of him, and then placed them all next to him, leaving him a large space to lie down and sleep.
Zheye was lying on the table, fiddling with the abacus beads with his little fingers to kill time. When he heard Zhezhi say this, he quickly expressed his loyalty, "Zhezhi, don't worry, I will let my brother protect you and your account book from now on, and I will never do anything like splitting your account book again."
The two children were making a mess, and Fu Huaichu saw it all.
At this time, Zhe Ye saw someone not far away. He immediately poked his sister and said, "Zhe Zhi, someone is coming."
When the guard saw the two young masters finally looking over, he stepped forward and said, "Master, Miss, this young master is here to see you two. I will take my leave now."
He wanted to interrupt the two young masters and tell them that someone had arrived, but the distinguished guest in front of him raised his hand to stop him, and he did not make any sound. Now, he felt that he should leave quickly and return the quiet space to these three people.
"You are..." Zhezhi jumped down from the stool, tapping her fingers and thinking seriously. Suddenly, she slapped her head and said, "I remember! You are the young man from a few days ago, the one who looks like my brother!"
Zhe Ye also recognized him. He stood in front of his sister, bowed to Fu Huaichu, and then said, "Sir, you have come to the mansion without any reason. I don't know what you are doing here. The master is not here. If you have something to do, you may come back another day."
"I came all the way here to see you," Fu Huaichu looked at the child who looked like he was cut from the same mold as him, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. This feeling was as if his life had been extended in an instant. He looked at Zhezhizheye, "How about I lend you a hand to talk?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Okay." Zhe Ye looked at Fu Huaichu.
Although he was only three and a half years old, based on the current situation, he had roughly guessed the identity of the young master he had accidentally bumped into.
It must have been my mother's intention that they were able to come in directly under the guidance of the security guard.
The fact that she looked very similar to him made Zhe Ye even more certain.
If his guess was correct, this young man was the biological father of him and his sister!
Zhe Ye tugged at his sister's sleeve and whispered, "Zhe Zhi, listen to me for a while."
Zhezhi looked at the young master walking in front of her, then looked at her brother beside her, and finally decisively joined her brother. She nodded softly, "I'll listen to my brother!"
"Zhezhi is really good."
Origami stroked her hair.
Then, the three of them came to the garden. (End of this chapter)
