Of course, there might be a specific condition for this lack of disappointment: Madam Fu has never disappointed him except in terms of having offspring.
Madam Fu had only two daughters in her life, and no sons. Lord Fu had no intention of taking a concubine and had already decided to adopt a child from the clan.
He once firmly believed that a capable woman like Madam Fu would never disappoint him, and Madam Fu managed the household affairs in an orderly manner.
But now he was starting to doubt whether his plan was correct. If Madam Fu could be so harsh on her own daughter and resort to such tricks, how good could she be to someone else's son?
Looking at Steward Sun, who was still there, Lord Fu said, "I ask Steward Sun to tell the Princess that I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give her an explanation."
Steward Sun, knowing when to stop, smiled and replied, "This matter should indeed be thoroughly investigated. Among all officials, there are very few whose inner quarters are as clean as Lord Fu's. Those who can act there are truly capable. In my opinion, those wicked servants who exchanged dowries should really not remain in the mansion."
These people really shouldn't stay in the manor anymore, but Sun Ping specifically mentioned it, clearly intending to kill them.
Imperial Censor Fu was always upright and hesitated.
Sun Ping continued, “The master is the master, and the servant is the servant. If a servant who makes a mistake is not severely punished, who knows what trouble he might cause the master in the future. I am not saying this to kill those people, but I hope that Imperial Censor Fu can properly educate them.”
Steward Sun's words clearly indicated that he had guessed some of the truth, which was why he said that. The Fu family is so clean; who could possibly succeed in harming someone from the outside? The only one who could have used such methods is probably Madam Fu.
The way Sun Ping described the treatment of those lackeys seemed rather baffling. After all, those people were lackeys, and moreover, lackeys of the Fu family.
Could it be that Sun Ping has some deeper meaning?
Imperial Censor Fu pondered, but couldn't come up with a solution. He knew that Steward Sun hadn't given Madam Fu much face in his words, but knowing that didn't give him any real confidence, Imperial Censor Fu didn't feel comfortable speaking to Steward Sun in front of his face.
The only recourse was to pin the blame on Madam Fu. After exchanging a few more words absentmindedly with Steward Sun, Imperial Censor Fu entered the mansion and headed towards the inner courtyard.
Because two daughters have married off in quick succession, Madam Fu has been so busy for over a month that she hasn't had time to check the accounts. She's currently very busy.
Upon seeing Imperial Censor Fu return, Madam Fu greeted him with a beaming smile: "My lord, you're back. You've finished court early today. What would you like for dinner? I'll have the servants prepare it right away."
Imperial Censor Fu glanced at all the maids serving in the room and found that several of them were unfamiliar, and there were quite a few more of them than before, which made him even more certain.
"Dinner can be the same as usual, no need to prepare too much. You may leave now, my wife and I have some things to discuss."
The servants around them retreated like flowing water, and Madam Fu blushed like a young girl of sixteen. She said with a playful smile, "We've been married for so long, why do you have to say things like that, sir?"
Imperial Censor Fu sighed and said, "Yes, we've been married for so long, but I still don't understand what kind of person you are."
"What do you mean by this, sir?"
Madam Fu said with some grievance, "Why would you say such things, sir? What did I do wrong to disappoint you like this?"
