Chapter 40
Fu Fu stuck out her tongue.
Uh oh, I got caught.
Zhu Xiyuan did not stand at the door to "interrogate" her. Instead, he helped send Siqin back to her room and took care of her until she fell asleep. Then he picked up the kitten and went back to the living room.
Si Yin was there too. The two of them were standing, and the little guy was sitting on the sofa, shrinking his neck.
"Tell me." Zhu Xiyuan folded his arms and looked at him. "Why are you not sleeping so late at night? Where have you been?"
Fufu lied with her eyes open: "No."
"Um?"
The Supreme Evil God fears nothing, unless his fathers raise their voices slightly or use a single syllable as a question.
The cat's tail drooped, and the child looked at his short legs that couldn't reach the ground after he sat on the sofa, thinking (making up) how to give the most appropriate answer.
"I...I saw some birds outside."
He also gave a vivid description of what the bird looked like and where it was.
Fortunately, Zhu Shaoquan turned back into a hyena for a relatively short time after getting drunk, otherwise he would not have been able to hide it.
No kitten can resist chasing a bird, especially a tiny kitty with limited self-control.
This reason is weak, but credible.
Anyway, his father, who is also a feline, seems to believe it.
Si Yin was about to say something when his wristband suddenly vibrated. He looked and saw that the monitoring system in Si Qin's room had sent a report of unusual activity. He hurried over.
Zhu Xiyuan picked up the kitten and went upstairs.
After all, Zhu Xiyuan was once related to him by blood and was the one who knew him best in this world.
Zhu Fu always felt that Zhu Xiyuan probably understood what she had done, how wary he was of Zhu Shaoquan, and even had intentions of persecuting him.
But Zhu Xiyuan did nothing.
Neither stopping nor supporting, it was as if he saw everything, yet also as if he saw nothing.
Just when Fu Fu thought Zhu Xiyuan would take the cold approach this time, she suddenly heard him lower his head and whisper, "Dad doesn't like you lying."
But that was all he said, no further instructions or questions.
Fu Fu leaned her little head against her father's arms and closed her eyes.
He did not regret going to see Zhu Shaoquan again and again without telling his fathers.
Witnessing his fathers being burned at the stake was a nightmare that haunted him forever.
If Zhu Shaoquan in his previous life had not discovered their affair and gave birth to him, and if Zhu Shaoquan had not reported everything to the Presbyterian Church, his fathers would have planned to resign from their positions and take him to a place far away from the world to live a quiet life.
But it was too late.
They both died in the flames.
The conversation that night was enough to convince him that Zhu Shaoquan also had memories of his past life.
So, whether he would do the same cruel thing to his fathers became what Zhu Fu needed to guard against most now.
If lying can protect you.
...as long as there is a way to protect you.
You can do anything.
Zhu Fu was anxious to find a suitable time, as Zhu Shaoquan would not stay in the resort for more than a week.
Once he left, it would be difficult for a three-year-old like me to see Zhu Shaoquan and other important people gathered together again.
Unexpectedly, even God was helping him, and the opportunity came to him.
Two days later, two unplanned guests showed up at the resort.
Best wishes to Zhengde and Sally.
Not only Zhu Xiyuan was surprised, but judging from Zhu Shaoquan's reaction, the latter also had not received any notification that his parents would be coming.
This was very rare, and they all thought that Zhu Zhengde came to talk to Zhu Shaoquan about something.
Sally followed Si Yin to meet Si Qin, not only as a relative, but also as a doctor caring for a patient.
Zhu Zhengde called the two brothers and Xiao Fuzi over and explained the purpose of his visit.
"His Majesty wishes to see you," he said.
It has been a week since he last saw his grandson. Zhu Zhengde held Fuzai and sat him on his lap. Even though he still had a stern face, it was obvious that he couldn't let go of the baby.
The two brothers were surprised: "Your Majesty?"
Zhu Zhengde used to be a member of the cabinet think tank and was indeed a capable assistant to Your Majesty.
The problem is, neither of them, including Zhu Xiaoling, directly inherited their father's career?
Why do you want to see them?
Zhu Zhengde himself was also confused.
Even during his years in office, he tried to have his children meet His Majesty, but never found a suitable opportunity.
Why do I suddenly have this idea now, almost a year after retiring and returning to my hometown?
There is something even more strange. His Majesty not only wants to meet Zhu Xiyuan and Zhu Shaoquan, but also wants to bring their children along if they have any.
Fu Fu was the only child.
Unfortunately, the Holy Heart is hard to predict. It is impossible to figure out His Majesty's thoughts just by relying on an order from the mother planet.
Anyway, it shouldn't be a bad thing...right?
The next day, they went to the designated meeting place.
It is not in the palace, but in a resort hotel not far from Liyuan Bay.
It looks like a typical hotel open to the public, except for the high price and difficulty in booking. There are even a number of reviews and booking guides on Star Online.
Few people know that when you can’t get a hotel room on any platform and are cursing about your finger speed, it’s actually because the business is suspended - His Majesty has arrived.
Anyway, they had arrived in the Liyuan Bay area, not far from Tefse, so Si Yin simply took the opportunity to take Si Qin back for a follow-up examination.
Last night, probably because Xiao Fu Fu suddenly disappeared, it awakened her PTSD caused by the early death of her young son. Siqin was awakened by nightmares the whole night. Sally said it would be best to go back and get some tranquilizers and some psychological counseling.
I went to the sanatorium today and Sally went with me. She said that some of her former students were there.
Si Yin knew that his mother-in-law was not only an excellent doctor, but also a brilliant teacher, with many students all over the world. But she later resigned for Zhu Zhengde, a move that even he felt heartbroken at the thought of.
Therefore, only the men of the Zhu family entered the hotel.
The staff led them into a place that looked like a meeting room, but His Majesty was not there. He was greeted by General Xu.
Zhu Zhengde obviously did not expect General Xu to be there, and he regretted very much not bringing his little daughter with him.
I wish Xiaoling to be young and beautiful. Her studio is quite well-known on her home planet. If she can perform well in front of the admiral and be noticed, then...
wrong.
I am here to see His Majesty today.
No matter whether it is the eldest or the second son, if one of these two sons can be appreciated by His Majesty, why would they bother to establish connections with the military? The Zhu family has grabbed the biggest tree, so what else do they have to worry about?
Everyone has their own thoughts.
For example, after greeting the general, Zhu Shaoquan glanced at him several times.
I don’t know whether Xu Run told his father about his affairs after he returned home.
Although the coconut milk throwing part was a frame-up by the little bastard, the whole story about the feud between the brothers had been explained to Xu Run in detail.
Xu Tieren is here today too. It seems that the rift between His Majesty and the Marshal is not fake.
In the future, Xu Tieren will be a favorite of His Majesty, and even a few words from him will be of great importance.
Their pleasantries ended briefly, and His Majesty arrived.
However, they did not see his appearance clearly.
A curtain of light rose between him and them, and only the sound of his voice could be heard.
"Your Majesty has not been in good health recently." Xu Tieren explained simply.
The Emperor was the faith of the citizens of the Empire, the axis of the home star system and even the entire Alpha Quadrant. His stability was the stability of the Empire and the peace of the Quadrant, so he would never appear unwell, even in a private meeting.
I hope your family understands this.
Most of the conversation was conducted by Xu Tieren, but they didn't talk about anything very profound. They just asked about the Zhu brothers' current work and future career plans.
It sounds not much different from chatting about family matters.
Fu Fu sat in the children's chair, holding a small toy that Xu Tieren had given him, and kneading it over and over again.
In the eyes of others, he is a little kid who understands nothing.
But only Zhu Fu himself knew that he listened carefully to every question and every comment, trying to predict what this emperor, whom he had never met, wanted to do to the Zhu family, mainly to his mother.
At the same time, he noticed another thing.
When General Xu didn't need to speak, his eyes stayed on him.
With a little exploration, a little observation, and some indescribable... very negative things.
But there is absolutely no malice.
Fu Fu knew that the Xu family was a very powerful family and the one that Zhu Shaoquan wanted to get close to.
What if the Xu family stood on his father's side... ?
He now knew how to make the most of his youngness. He lifted the little doll in front of his face and slowly, slowly moved it down until his big, bright eyes were exposed.
Just like an adult covering his face to tease a child, he also played hide-and-seek with Xu Tieren from a distance.
Such a simple action made the serious five-star general, who was above everyone else, laugh.
