"Shut up!" Fu Jingzhi glanced at Fu Zige with disappointment: "Granny Xu won't go against Madam."
Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, he was certain that Granny Xu couldn't be the murderer.
She only had one son in her life, who died in an accident a long time ago. What is there for her to covet now?
Lu Qingyan frowned and advised, "Sister, I also believe that none of this was caused by Granny Xu. Let's call a doctor to take a look first. I feel sad about Mother's current state."
Lu Qingyan wasn't sad; it was Fu Ziwu who was sad, her heart aching slightly.
There has never been a mother like this in the world. In order to make one of her daughters live a better life, she pushed all the misfortune onto her other daughter and even cruelly killed her own grandson!
Fu Jingzhi waved his hand: "Go outside and fetch a doctor."
Fu Zige said with dissatisfaction, "Liu Yu, go and tell the Prince to invite the imperial physician to the residence."
"No need for the imperial physician," Fu Jingzhi refused. "Few people can cure this illness. Let's prescribe some medicine and let her rest for a while."
"Father!" Fu Zige said unhappily, "No matter what, she is still my mother, and I will not abandon her. There are people who have been cured of this kind of disease, so why do you say that Mother will not get better this time?"
Fu Jingzhi sighed and said helplessly, "Fine, do whatever you want. Ziwu, come with me. Granny Xu, go back and rest. Thank you for your help these past two days."
Granny Xu repeatedly said she dared not: "This old servant is already so old, I don't know what else I can do. It's my blessing to be able to serve you. Please don't say that, I won't listen. Madam is in such a state now, you must take good care of yourself! I remember when you were little..."
Lu Qingyan followed behind Fu Jingzhi, listening to Fu Jingzhi and Granny Xu reminisce about the past and talk about Fu Jingzhi's childhood anecdotes, without making a sound to disturb them. After a while, Fu Jingzhi's previously furrowed brows relaxed, and Granny Xu then took her leave.
After a long while, Fu Jingzhi asked Lu Qingyan, "How has she always treated you when you're at home?"
Fu Jingzhi himself was also somewhat afraid of this question; he was afraid of hearing the answer he least wanted to hear. Although they were sisters of similar age, Fu Ziwu looked more like a teenager. Her height was similar to Fu Zige's, but she was so thin it was heartbreaking.
At home, and at the Fu residence, how exactly did Madam Fu treat her?
"Why are you asking these questions, Father?" Lu Qingyan lowered her head and did not answer. She smiled shyly and said, "No matter what I was like before, that's all in the past. I think I'm doing quite well now, so Father doesn't need to worry."
Seeing that Lu Qingyan wouldn't say anything, Fu Jingzhi didn't press the matter. She was having a heart-to-heart talk with her daughter, not interrogating a criminal; was he going to torture her for information?
"Okay, I won't say it then."
In the study, the game of chess was finally over, with Shangguan Ren winning by two pieces.
"Oh dear, no more, no more!" Shangguan Ren propped himself up on one leg and waved his hands repeatedly. "Fifth Brother may not be my match now, but he will definitely surpass me in the future. How about we brothers have another match after Fifth Brother has trained for a few more years?"
Shangguan Li did not refuse the invitation this time when Shangguan Ren suddenly invited him.
He curled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "Since Fourth Brother has this plan, of course I, as his younger brother, will accompany him."
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Your Highness, Your Highness..." A maid rushed in and knelt on the ground, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
