Chapter 84: Something Strange
Strange, isn’t Fu Danjun dead?
Lu Yu rubbed his eyes to calm himself down, suspecting that he had seen a ghost.
Xie Changsheng was hurrying ahead, but suddenly he reined in his horse and said, "Lu Yu, find a quiet inn."
Because Jiangnan was prosperous, Xie Changsheng had to keep a low profile in order to avoid being noticed.
Just at this time, Fu Danjun and Lan Fang turned around and walked back.
Xie Changsheng is now wearing a human skin mask, but that posture is the one Fu Danjun is most familiar with.
Lu Yu was not wearing a mask and followed behind.
So Fu Danjun pretended to buy something, turned Lan Fang's back, and left in a leisurely manner.
Xie Changsheng asked Lu Yu to find an inn, but found that Lu Yu turned his head and stared at people in a daze.
So Xie Changsheng teased: "Are you bewitched by Jiangnan women?"
Lu Yu quickly said, "I saw a woman who looked just like Fu Danjun."
Xie Changsheng couldn't help but frown and asked, "You still have feelings for me, don't you?"
Seeing the emperor's sullen face, Lu Yu had to admit his mistake: "My eyes were blurry."
Xie Changsheng ignored him, dismounted and went to find an inn himself.
That night, Xie Changsheng instructed Lu Yu: "Go find out where Fu Danjun's grave is, and then guard it."
Lu Yu was dumbfounded. If the person in front of him was not the emperor, he would have punched him.
Seeing him stunned, Xie Changsheng explained, "Didn't you see a ghost during the day? It's a good time to watch at night to see if there really is a ghost."
Lu Yu gritted his teeth, knelt down and said, "As you wish."
Then, Xie Changsheng called another subordinate and said, "Go to Fu's house and ask how he is doing."
The subordinate dressed up as an official's subordinate and came to ask for tea.
The Fu family didn't know whether it was true or not, and didn't dare to offend them.
Then they treated him warmly, and his subordinates took the opportunity to observe the atmosphere in the mansion and found that it did not seem like anyone had died.
As he was leaving, he secretly asked the doorman, "I heard that Miss Fu just passed away. Why aren't Master and Madam Fu sad?"
The servant said with a smile, "I was sad a few days ago, but then my wife took my niece in to raise as her own daughter, and things got better."
The subordinate was very curious and came back to report to Xie Changsheng.
Xie Changsheng also found it strange. How could a niece have such great magical powers? Could she replace her biological daughter?
So he asked another subordinate to go to the house again to inform him that he wanted to pay him a visit.
In an instant, the Fu family members were extremely anxious, and Fu Xiaoshan was also at a loss as to what to do.
Xie Changsheng came too suddenly and might be able to see through the flaws.
At the critical moment, it was Fu Danjun who stabilized the situation: "Don't worry, Lan Fang and I will hide, you guys pretend to be sad and deal with the emperor first, and we will deal with the future as it comes."
After hearing this, everyone felt relieved.
Fu Danjun then instructed her brother: "You must stay calm and don't panic!"
Fu Xiaoshan quickly agreed: "Don't worry."
Cui said aside, "I can cry anytime. I have a lot of tears."
Xie Changsheng still gave them time and came to visit at noon two days later.
Although he was dressed in disguise, he could not conceal the majesty of the emperor.
Fu Yi had already dismissed all his servants and even fired some of them.
Because he knew that the emperor could not reveal his identity, and when he came out to greet him, he did not kneel or call him master.
Xie Changsheng nodded with satisfaction: "As expected of you, you really know your limits."
Jiang Zhi and Cui invited Xie Changsheng into the upper hall, and after he knelt down and kowtowed, they were about to leave.
Xie Changsheng quickly stopped them: "Wait, everyone, please sit down."
Jiang Zhi and Cui looked at each other, their faces pale.
Fu Xiaoshan quickly apologized with a smile: "Master, you have traveled far to Jiangnan, and you must have had a hard time on the journey. Let's take a good rest first before we can talk about friendship."
Fu Yi also smiled and said, "Hearing that the master has arrived, we have already cleaned up the courtyard and you can stay at any time."
Xie Changsheng smiled faintly as he fanned himself. "I'm not very tired, I'm just always thinking about you, especially Madam Fu. The pain of losing your daughter is like a deep pain in your heart, right?"
Jiang Zhi was a little slow to react, but it was her daughter-in-law Cui who brought it up: "Master, we cried every day before and couldn't let it go. It wasn't until Sister Yunxia came home that we felt better."
After saying that, he covered his face with his handkerchief and started crying.
Jiang Zhi quickly sobbed: "Yes! Yunxia is my niece, and she looks a bit like Danjun. Seeing her makes me feel better."
Fu Yi and Fu Xiaoshan both nodded quickly in agreement: "Yes, that's right."
As an emperor, could Xie Changsheng not even see through this kind of superficial behavior?
He was certain there was something wrong and said, "This Yunxia, how similar is she to Dan Jun? Then call her out so I can take a look."
The Fu family had already made some preparations in this regard, and now Fu Xiaoshan deliberately evaded the question: "A girl who has never seen the world, it's okay for the master not to see her."
Cui said quickly, "Madam, you are wrong. Sister Yunxia is very sensible. Why can't she see it?"
Fu Xiaoshan deliberately slammed the table and angrily shouted: "What do women know? Why don't you step back?"
Xie Changsheng looked at Fu Danjun in surprise, before he could say anything.
Fu Yi stood up and scolded Fu Xiaoshan: "Why are you banging the table? Why are you glaring? How has your wife ever wronged you?"
Cui had already started crying, and the situation was becoming a mess.
Xie Changsheng's face turned cold and he said, "Fu Xiaoshan, kneel down."
Fu Danjun had no choice but to come over and kneel down. Xie Changsheng drank a sip of tea and looked at Cui: "Go and call Yunxia."
Cui agreed respectfully and then turned and left.
Soon, she came in with a woman.
Xie Changsheng looked closely and saw that the woman was wearing Fu Danjun's clothes and had the same hair bun.
Then she wore a veil on her face and walked forward step by step, looking exactly like Fu Danjun.
"My humble servant greets the Master."
Xie Changsheng found that the voices were similar, and instantly thought that Fu Danjun was not dead and was doing this on purpose.
He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Is this trick fun? You just want to see me sad, right? Who do you think you are?"
Yunxia remained silent, and Xie Changsheng suddenly flew into a rage: "You annoying witch!"
After saying that, he rushed over and tore off the cloud veil.
Yunxia was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, and the Fu family members also knelt down and dared not breathe.
Xie Changsheng looked closely and found that it was a girl with dark skin and not very pretty.
For a moment, Xie Changsheng was also stunned.
This is not Fu Danjun, why do they look so similar?
Fu Xiaoshan quickly scolded Yunxia: "What are you still standing there for? Kowtow to the master?"
Yunxia kowtowed in panic, and Xie Changsheng waved his hand in frustration: "Back off, everyone back off!"
The Fu family quickly retreated, and Fu Xiaoshan stood guard at the door, ready to be called by Xie Changsheng.
Xie Changsheng leaned back in his chair wearily, closed his eyes for a long time, and then called out, "Someone come."
Fu Xiaoshan hurried in and was told: "I want to live here, go and make the arrangements."
Fu Xiaoshan smiled and said, "It has been arranged long ago. I will ask someone to prepare the bath water for the master to take a bath."
Xie Changsheng was indeed tired, and his heart was even more exhausted.
Cui personally sprinkled saffron, which relaxes muscles and invigorates blood circulation, chrysanthemum, which reduces heat and relieves summer heat, and fragrant roses into the bathtub.
