Chapter 54 A Family of Drama
Madam Hou smiled gleefully: "Let me tell you, not only is your sister having an affair, but the person she's having an affair with is the Emperor!"
Fu Xiaoshan was stunned. After all, the Marquis' Mansion could not slander anyone else but dared not slander the emperor.
Seeing that he had become honest, Lu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. You can go to the palace and ask the eunuchs around the emperor. If we are lying, you can make us apologize."
Fu Xiaoshan's forehead was sweating: "I will investigate it thoroughly."
Seeing that he was beginning to believe her, Mrs. Pei took the opportunity to exaggerate: "Our Lord Marquis didn't want to make a big deal out of this, so he kept silent. We in the Marquisate have been swallowing our anger."
Fu Xiaoshan felt that this matter was full of doubts and couldn't help asking: "How did my sister know the emperor?"
The old lady immediately lamented, "It's all my fault. I went to the palace to visit the sick Concubine Dowager and brought Concubine Fu with me, and ended up being seen by the Emperor. Although our Emperor is young and energetic, he wouldn't covet the ladies of his court."
Fu Xiaoshan heard something behind the words and couldn't help asking: "Was it my sister who took the initiative?"
The old lady nodded quickly: "Yes, your sister is really bold. She is not afraid of seeing the emperor and is smiling playfully."
Fu Xiaoshan couldn't help but laugh: "That's not right. My sister never tries to please men, so why is she so frivolous? Isn't that an exaggeration, old lady?"
The old lady was horrified: "She wouldn't please ordinary men, but the emperor is different!"
Lu Yu took the opportunity to add, "Your sister's mind is full of business, and she's eager to please the emperor so that she can do business more conveniently."
The old lady continued, "The emperor was hot-blooded and capitulated at the slightest provocation. Later, your sister was secretly taken to the palace to spend the night. Oh my, our mansion is completely disgraced."
Fu Xiaoshan was so confused that he just refused to believe it.
If the girl was really at fault first, then Lu Yu was being wronged.
Seeing Fu Xiaoshan speechless, Pei covered her face and cried, "Our mansion is really wronged. We dare not tell anyone about this."
Madam Hou began to rage: "Even a cornered rabbit bites. If Master Fu persists and insists that Lu Yu be punished, I will risk my life to tell the whole story and let the people of Kyoto judge for what is right."
Fu Xiaoshan frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at the children behind Pei and said, "Even if my sister had an affair with the emperor, it was only after she made the mistake. Lord Lu must have been having a romantic affair outside long ago. Look at this child, he's already five or six years old. He's been at the border for seven years, and the child is only five or six years old. Doesn't this mean he's cheating right after he went to the border?"
Lu Yu could never have imagined that Fu Xiaoshan would be silent for a while and then continue to hold on.
"It doesn't matter whether he cheated or not, he's cuckolded anyway."
When Madam Hou felt she had struck back, she glared and said, "Mr. Fu, what are you still doing? You understand the situation now, don't you? Your sister, in order to make money, has gone so far as to climb onto the emperor's bed and curry favor with him, so she can enjoy the shade under the big tree!"
Fu Xiaoshan stood up to stop him: "Don't say anymore, I have to go home and ask Dan Jun, can I only listen to your one-sided story?"
Seeing that he was finally leaving, Lu Yu hurriedly said, "Then go and find out clearly, don't waste time."
Fu Xiaoshan left without looking back, and found that his clothes were soaked after leaving the house.
His mind was also in a mess, thinking that it was true that Fu Danjun was having an affair with the emperor. What should he do?
When Cui Wanjun returned home, she saw her husband looking gloomy. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Fu Xiaoshan didn't answer, but asked first: "Where did Dan Jun go? Why is there no sign of him?"
Cui laughed and said, "He said he went out to look at new shops and bought a new one."
Fu Xiaoshan went to the window again, looked at the sun's shadow, and asked, "When did you leave?"
Cui said hurriedly, "It's about the same time as you."
Fu Xiaoshan couldn't help but wonder if his sister had gone to the palace.
For a moment he was like an ant on a hot pan, so anxious that he couldn't stop wandering around.
Cui Wanjun really wanted to ask what had happened, but the wet nurse said that the child had woken up and was crying for her.
Fu Xiaoshan couldn't sit still in the room, so he wanted to go out and look for Fu Danjun.
Coincidentally, Qiao Yishan came in with a medicine bag, and both of them were stunned when they saw him.
Then they hugged each other excitedly and laughed.
Fu Danjun mentioned Qiao Yishan many times in the letter, which made Fu Xiaoshan know that Qiao Yishan had a close relationship with his sister.
"Brother Qiao, my sister is so grateful to you for taking care of her."
As soon as she finished speaking, Cui Wanjun rushed in, holding the child in her arms: "Benefactor, please accept our mother and daughter's greetings."
If it weren't for Qiao Yishan's rescue, Cui would have died, and where would the child come from?
Qiao Yishan quickly supported them and said, "Madam, you don't have to thank me every time you see me. It makes me feel embarrassed to show up."
Fu Xiaoshan quickly said with a smile: "Of course, of course. She will feel bad if she doesn't pay you a visit."
Qiao Yishan smiled and said nothing more. He brought Fu Xiao over to look at her. "Well, this child has a rosy complexion and looks very healthy."
Cui Wanjun smiled and said: "Thanks to the people of En, she has always been in good health."
Then, everyone sat down and drank tea.
Qiao Yishan was busy and said, "I just came to deliver medicine to Danjun. I have nothing else to do and I won't wait for her to come back."
Cui Wanjun hurriedly said: "Why don't you stay for dinner?"
Fu Xiaoshan also smiled and said: "Yes, it would be great if we could get drunk first."
Qiao Yishan smiled bitterly and said, "I'd love to, but the exams are approaching, and I have to study day and night, so I really can't keep you company."
When Fu Xiaoshan and Cui heard about it, they had no choice but to let him go.
As soon as Qiao Yishan left, Fu Xiaoshan started to worry again: "Why hasn't Danjun come back yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Danjun's carriage arrived at the door.
Sun Qingli, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, really kept his word.
He found out that Fu Danjun had nothing to do with the dead body, so he sent a carriage to bring her back.
Yuan and Lan Fang also followed him to the Dali Temple and now they are back together.
However, a man dressed like an ordinary person was watching everything not far away.
He was assigned by Xie Changsheng to stay here.
Xie Changsheng wanted to know every move of Fu Danjun, and the departure of Qiao Yishan just now was also recorded in the surveillance record.
Now he went to report to Xie Changsheng, and Xie Changsheng was unhappy when he heard the three words "Qiao Yishan".
It happened that Wanyan Qi came to pay his respects and said that he would be setting off for northern Xinjiang in the next two days.
Xie Changsheng smiled faintly: "Don't you often travel between the two places? It's not a big deal whether you come back or not."
Wanyan Qi was secretly surprised that the emperor's mind was so quick.
He knew that what he wanted to say most was not to return to Northern Xinjiang, but to take Fu Danjun back to Northern Xinjiang.
However, the emperor had intended to grant the marriage before, and he cannot go back on his word.
"Your Majesty, after I return to the Northern Frontier this time, I will not be back in Beijing for a year or two."
Xie Changsheng took a sip of tea and replied, "Oh. But things in the world are hard to predict. Maybe something unexpected happened to you and you'll be back soon."
Wanyan Qi saw that the emperor was deliberately pretending to be confused, so he simply said: "If I can't come to the capital, I will inevitably miss Dan Jun."
Xie Changsheng looked confused, as if he didn't understand: "Who are you missing?"
Wanyan Qi made up his mind: "Mr. Fu Dan, isn't the emperor going to grant us a marriage?"
Xie Changsheng couldn't help but frown.
But as an emperor, his words were final: "Give it, of course you will."
Wanyan Qi felt relieved and knelt down, kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
