Chapter 320 Don’t Expect Anything from Anyone
"I don't know if the prince knows the truth. Now that my Jingzhao Yinfu has lost an official, the Imperial Guards must give me an explanation for this matter, right?"
Xiao Jin glanced at the body on the ground and asked, "Has the coroner performed an autopsy?"
Jingzhao Yin said: "I have come to see him. The preliminary judgment is that he was beaten to death."
"That means there has not been a detailed inspection yet."
Jingzhao Yin frowned and said, "The coroners in Jingzhao Yin's mansion have decades of experience and will not make mistakes."
"Is this how you handle cases in the Jingzhao Yinfu?" Xiao Jin said coldly.
Xiao Jin said to Wang Su, "Go, find two coroners."
"yes."
Jingzhao Yin's face was not looking good. "Since Your Majesty doesn't believe it, then let the coroner conduct a detailed examination."
"What about the people who had the conflict?"
"Your Highness, the people have been taken to Jingzhao Yinfu now."
"Well, then let's wait for the results of the autopsy."
…
When Fu Zheng had stayed in Prince Qi's Mansion for seven days, no one from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion came to visit.
Although Fu Zheng didn't say anything, there was an unconcealable disappointment in his eyes.
After having a full breakfast, Su Ying asked Bai Shuang to prepare the car.
"Where is the princess going?"
"Since they won't come, I can't hold my other son hostage. I have to send him back myself."
Fu Zheng quickly raised his head and glanced at Su Ying, "Princess, I can go back by myself."
Su Ying raised her eyebrows, "You're going back by yourself? Then who will pay for the food and drinks you've eaten and drank in the palace these days? Do you think those things I taught you are free? Go, prepare the car."
Fu Zheng pursed his lips tightly. He knew that Su Ying didn't really want his money, she just wanted to support him.
He used to think that he was unfortunate, but now he feels so lucky to have met the King of Qi and his family.
"Brother Fu Zheng, are you going back?" Erbao reluctantly held Fu Zheng's hand, pouting his little mouth, his voice choked with sobs.
Fu Zheng held Erbao's soft little hand, feeling very reluctant to let go. No one wanted to play with him since he was a child, as they all said that he had a bad fate and killed his mother. He didn't dare to get close to them anymore. Only Ling'er and Ji'er were willing to get close to him without any reservations.
"Ling'er, don't be sad. Brother will come to play with you again."
"Really?"
"Yeah, really."
Although Dabao didn't say anything, he still took out a purse from his pocket and handed it to Fu Zheng, "Here, this is for you."
Fu Zheng was a little surprised, and his eyes turned red when he saw Dabao's arrogant look, "Thank you, brother Ji'er."
After breakfast, even though the two treasures were reluctant, they could only watch Su Ying and Fu Zheng get on the carriage.
Su Ying in the carriage clearly sensed his awkwardness, "Are you scared?"
Fu Zheng raised his head and pursed his lips, "Princess, I am not afraid of them treating me harshly, but I am afraid of seeing my father's disgusted eyes."
There is no child who does not desire to be loved and cared for by his parents, and Fu Zheng is no exception.
Su Ying slowly bent down and let Fu Zheng look at her.
Fu Zheng could see his own sorrowful self in her clear pupils. Fu Zheng frowned. He didn't like himself like this.
"Fu Zheng, take back your humble expectations. In that huge mansion, the only thing you have to do is to make yourself strong. When you are strong enough, you will find that even your father who hates you will treat you differently. But by that time, you will find that any delayed feelings are rubbish."
Fu Zheng didn't quite understand, "Princess, are you saying... as long as I'm good enough, my father will like me?"
"No, I just want to tell you not to have any expectations from anyone."
Fu Zheng pursed his lips, his eyes slightly red.
"Even if he didn't know what Xiao Zhou did to you, do you think he did nothing wrong? You are his son. If he really cared about you, how could he let you fall to this point?"
Su Ying knew that it was too cruel to say these words to an eight-year-old child, but the place where he lived was a den of wolves. If you couldn't be the leader, you would only be torn to pieces.
"That's all I have to say. You can experience it yourself."
Su Ying closed her eyes after she finished speaking.
The fists in Fu Zheng's sleeves gradually clenched.
The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion was not far from the Prince Qi's Mansion, and they arrived there in less than two quarters of an hour.
Su Ying took Fu Zheng down from the carriage.
After the guard came forward and gave his name, the guards outside the door were surprised and hurried into the mansion to report.
After the morning court session, Fu Xun returned home to have breakfast. Just as he was about to go to the yamen, he heard a servant come to report that Su Ying had arrived.
Fu Xun suddenly felt his teeth clenching, and then he remembered that today had come the time he had agreed with Xiao Jin.
"What is she doing here?"
Xiao Zhou's face looked very unhappy. Her nightmares now were all about Su Ying beating people in the hall!
"Princess Qi said that she was here to send the eldest son back."
Fu Xun frowned. He didn't know what Su Ying wanted to do, but since the person had been sent back, there was no reason for him not to see her. He just wanted to ask her why Su Ying had been so violent towards Xiao Zhou that day.
"Go, invite Princess Qi in."
Fu Xun sat in the chair, obviously not intending to get up.
The attendant looked at Fu Xun in embarrassment and said, "Master, Princess Qi said that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion should follow the rules of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
Fu Xun then came to his senses and realized that Su Ying wanted him to go out and greet her in person.
According to his status, he should indeed go with Xiao Zhou, but he couldn't swallow this humiliation.
But if I don't go, Su Ying might use this mistake to make trouble for me.
Fu Xun gritted his teeth, and finally got up and walked out the door with Xiao Zhou.
Su Ying watched them walk out, then she raised the corners of her lips slightly.
"Greetings to the Princess of Qi. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person."
Su Ying glanced at them and said, "I am here to send you someone today. Fu Xun, you don't want a son, and I can't always raise him for you."
Empress Dowager Fu Xun looked at Fu Zheng, and at first glance, he was stunned.
In his impression, Fu Zheng had always been timid. He never dared to raise his head in front of him, let alone look him in the eye. As the eldest grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, such a demeanor was really not presentable, so he never had any hope for this son.
But now, he seemed to have changed. His clear features had the shadow of Zhou in the past. His straight back made him exude a confident yet extremely restrained aura, which was really inconsistent with his thin body.
Fu Xun didn't expect that in just seven days, he could have such a big change in the Prince Qi's Mansion.
For a moment, Fu Xun's expression when he looked at Su Ying became complicated.
He had previously thought that Su Ying brought the person back to bully him.
"Zheng'er, you're finally back. You don't know that your mother has been missing you so much these days that she couldn't sleep at night..."
