Chapter 1197: Together in the Pit (Given the reward from the book friend "Xiao Kan Feng Yun")
Yue Lan also knelt in front of Lord Yue's bed.
Master Yue leaned against the pillow and asked him, "There was a commotion at home earlier, and I forgot to ask. The day Fu Wenhua came, you said that an old friend of Er Niang came to visit. I wonder who that old friend was?"
The wound on Yue Lan's face had just healed a little. He had been traumatized recently, both physically and mentally, so he answered cautiously. "Her name is Zhou Man. I didn't know her at first and thought she was a doctor. Later I learned that she was my second mother's close friend when she was young."
Master Yue felt a headache and asked, "Besides her, is there another young man coming with her?"
"Yes, his name is Bai Shan. I heard he was a student at the Imperial College. My son wanted to make friends with him, but he didn't expect Wenhua to come that day. There was a conflict, and it was a laughing stock..."
So he couldn't show up the next day.
The main reason was that he felt that since the other party was an old friend of the Fu family, and he had just been beaten by Fu Wenhua, he naturally didn't want to appear in front of him.
Although Lord Yue did not know the name of the Mr. Bai who filed the complaint with the emperor, he was certain that the young lady was the famous little doctor in the capital.
He couldn't help but close his eyes tightly, his heart agitated and he felt like vomiting again. After a while, he suppressed the feeling and opened his eyes and said, "So they are all old friends of the Fu family?"
Yue Lan nodded hesitantly and said, "I see that Madam Fu, Qiuyue, Chuncao and the others are all very familiar with them. It seems that this is because my father-in-law often visited them when he was in Luojiang County. Otherwise, Second Mother wouldn't have become such close friends with that young doctor Zhou."
Yue Wei knew that he was being used as a knife.
He looked down at his son's ignorant face again, and angrily threw the teacup at him. However, because he was dizzy and his hands were weak, the teacup did not hit him, but deviated a little and fell to the ground.
Yue Lan was very scared. Although his father always scolded him, he rarely hit him, let alone smashing a cup in his face.
Old Madam Yue was also startled and asked quickly, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Lord Yue didn't want to talk to them. He suppressed his nausea and said, "The reason I'm in this situation today is all because of you!"
Both mother and son looked confused.
Lord Yue had no intention of saying more. He couldn't tell them that Fu Ziliang had set a trap for him, right?
He lay down on the bed and waved them out, not intending to pursue the matter any further.
But his mind was still trying to think non-stop. Fu Ziliang's plan was cruel and clever enough.
He not only helped his old friend, but also avenged his daughter.
Zhou Man also came to him, obviously with no intention of concealing his identity. This was not a conspiracy, but an open one.
But it's also true that this plan can achieve the desired effect for him. He knows that Bai Shan and Zhou Man are old friends of the Fu family, and after thinking about it, he will probably still choose this path, but he will consider it for a longer time.
Yue Wei smiled bitterly. In this respect, he was not as good as Fu Ziliang.
Unexpectedly, he was wrong. He thought that he was just a slightly smart but calm scholar. Today, it seems that he is not only knowledgeable but also courageous. He actually underestimated the other party.
Yue Wei felt happy again at this thought. After all, this was his in-law. He was more capable than he had imagined. While the relationship between the two families might need some changes in the future, it was always good to help each other.
For children from poor families like them, with only one person in the family serving as an official, they cannot rely on their families and can only rely on their in-laws.
Yue Wei thought about it and decided to teach his son well in the future, so that he could learn how to be loving and affectionate with his wife. He also had to tell his wife so that he could live in harmony with his daughter-in-law.
The more Yue Wei thought about it, the more his headache became. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and vomited, then fell into a trembling sleep.
The news was delayed, and County Magistrate Fu, who knew nothing about it, sneezed. When he heard that Manbao had come to see his daughter, he came out with his hands behind his back to meet this old friend.
Seeing that she had grown into a little girl, County Magistrate Fu couldn't help but stroke his beard and sigh, "Children grow up so fast. I haven't seen you for only five years, and you've grown so big."
In Manbao's eyes, County Magistrate Fu hadn't changed much, and was still the same, so she waved and greeted him warmly, "Master Fu hasn't changed much, he's still so young."
County Magistrate Fu smiled with joy and couldn't help asking about the situation in Luojiang County.
After all, this was the first place he took office after becoming an official, and County Magistrate Fu had worked there for so many years, so he still had deep feelings for it.
At present, Luojiang County is the place where he has served the longest. It can be called his second hometown, and for his children, it is simply their hometown.
So Fu Wenhua also sneaked out to listen.
Manbao had been away from home for a long time, but he always received letters from home, so he had a great time chatting with County Magistrate Fu.
It was not until sunset that Bai Shan waited for her for a long time and she still didn't come back, so he and Daji came to pick her up in person. She then politely declined the Fu family's invitation to dinner and went home with Bai Shan.
Butler Xu sent her out and couldn't help but sigh when he came back.
County Magistrate Fu, still sitting in the courtyard and not returning to his study, looked up and asked, "Why are you sighing for no reason?"
"Nothing, I just feel bad for Miss Man. By the way, Master, I've heard from the official in the Ministry of Personnel that you asked me to find out, and I've delivered your report this morning." Butler Xu brought up the serious matter, "I've inquired with others, and not many people have come to the capital to report on their work recently. It should be your turn in two or three days."
County Magistrate Fu nodded in satisfaction, very satisfied with his ability, but he was still a little confused, "Why do you say it's a pity for the young lady of the Zhou family?"
Butler Xu then remembered that he had been very busy these days. He had to buy things to settle the master and mistress, inquire about the Yue family's information, find someone to help the young master beat up his son-in-law, and find out the news from the Ministry of Personnel and the officials who were currently sent out. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to report the matter to County Magistrate Fu.
So, while sighing, he said, "Master, you may not know yet, but it turns out that Miss Man is not her parents' biological daughter, but her uncle's daughter. Twelve years ago, her biological parents were killed by the King of Yizhou because they were involved in his rebellion. Now, she has come to the capital to seek revenge and is fighting fiercely with the King of Yizhou."
County Magistrate Fu opened his mouth wide, covered his chest with his hands and was unable to speak for a long time.
Seeing this, Butler Xu asked hesitantly, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Magistrate Fu pointed at him with a shaking finger, "You, what did you say?"
Steward Xu thought he understood what he meant and quickly said, "Don't worry, Master. It's not that scary. Look, she offended the King of Yizhou and the Queen Mother, but she's still free to come and go in the capital. I've inquired about it, and they have dealings with many powerful and influential families. Clearly, the forces behind them are considerable, so our family won't be implicated."
County Magistrate Fu was so heartbroken that he was speechless. He was not originally involved, but now he is involved, okay?
He asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Butler Xu said with a guilty conscience, "There have been so many things going on lately that I couldn't remember for a moment."
County Magistrate Fu, who thought that the father and daughter were planning something big, did not tell anyone else about instigating Yue Wei to make a last-minute remonstration, including his wife, and of course, Steward Xu.
County Magistrate Fu was speechless for a moment. After a long time, he stood up with the help of the table and turned to look for Fu Wenyun.
Fu Wenyun understood immediately upon seeing her father's expression. She said directly, "Father, the grand court meeting has passed. Manbao went to Yue's house to see his father-in-law today. He is fine."
County Magistrate Fu heaved a sigh of relief with a complicated expression on his face, then pointed at her, speechless. After a long pause, he said helplessly, "You, you... do you think you can hide this from your father-in-law?"
Fu Wenyun said, "Father, it's better not to hide this matter than to conceal it. In the future, my father-in-law will not dare to look down on you, and we will help each other with the Fu family. Even my daughter's life will be much better in the Yue family, right?"
When County Magistrate Fu thought about it, it was true, and then he felt even more heartbroken. How could this not be a son?
He sighed and said, "Back then, I ignored your mother's objections and let you study with your brother. I don't know whether it was right or wrong."
"Of course it's right," Fu Wenyun said softly, "It's not easy to come to this world, my daughter doesn't want to live her life in confusion."
"But life should be a little muddled, so it won't be hard."
Fu Wenyun shook her head. "Everyone has their own way of living, but my daughter thinks it's more important to live with understanding. Even if it's hard, you can still find joy in it. Otherwise, if you come into this world ignorant and leave it in a muddled way, it would be a waste of your life's opportunities."
County Magistrate Fu was speechless.
Looking at his second daughter, he thought of Zhou Man who had just left.
None of them is inferior to my daughter. From what Butler Xu said, how could they go to the palace to file a complaint at such a young age?
Well, each one of them is braver than the other.
County Magistrate Fu shook his head, ignored it, and left with his hands behind his back.
However, after leaving the yard, he began to have a headache. Should he go and see his in-laws who had hit the pillar tomorrow?
So, he was the one who tricked him this time, right?
County Magistrate Fu felt a little guilty, but when he returned to the house and saw his wife complaining to Nanny Fu about his mother-in-law's indifference, he felt better.
His daughter was right. This was also to make her life in Yue's family easier in the future. There was no need for him to feel guilty.
His daughter almost lost her life.
So County Magistrate Fu became full of fighting spirit again. The next day, he picked out some supplements and dragged his son to visit his in-laws.
After a night's sleep, although Yue Wei still had a headache, his nausea symptoms had eased a lot and he could now lean on the pillow for a long time to think about things.
Upon hearing that County Magistrate Fu was coming, Yue Wei showed a perfect smile. The two in-laws exchanged polite greetings in the house, and then Yue Wei mentioned Bai Shan and Zhou Man.
County Magistrate Fu knew that there was a pit ahead because his daughter had dug it, so he had no choice but to jump in. He had to dig up the soil himself to bury himself.
So County Magistrate Fu did not deny it, but began to talk about his relationship with Bai Shanzhou. Of course, he said that they did not have much connection, they were just from the same county, so they had met a few times. Because the two children were smart, he had praised them a few times.
County Magistrate Fu was telling the truth, but Yue Wei didn't believe it at all. However, he believed it with a smile on his face, and the atmosphere between the two families was very harmonious.
Outside the house, the atmosphere between the two sons was not very harmonious. Yue Lan was beaten twice by Fu Wenhua, and it was impossible for him not to feel resentful, so he just stood far away and did not speak to Fu Wenhua.
Fu Wenhua didn't want to talk to him yet, so she turned her head to look at the sky without even looking at him.
