Chapter 290 The Fourth Girl Will Go Crazy
Fu Zhaoning didn't know what Xiao Lanyuan was going crazy for.
It seemed that after knowing that it was she who saved him, his attitude towards her changed completely.
But she also found that she did not resist his closeness at all, and was even often fascinated by him.
Apart from the poisonous scar on his face, is there any man in the capital of Zhao who could be more handsome than him?
Superficial, she is really superficial.
"What are you doing?" Seeing that she had been taking his pulse for a while without any movement, Shen Xuan waved his other hand in front of her eyes.
"Ah? No, I wasn't distracted."
Fu Zhaoning quickly withdrew his hand and took a pen and paper to revise his next prescription.
"There's news from Dahe that someone has indeed seen someone who looks like Fu Jinchen." Shen Xuan suddenly said.
"Really?" Fu Zhaoning was stunned.
"Well, I got Fu Jinchen's portrait from that year and sent it back as fast as I could for someone to check. Someone has seen someone who looks a bit similar."
"Portrait? Uncle, how do you have his portrait?" Fu Zhaoning was a little surprised.
The Fu family no longer has any portrait of Fu Jinchen.
"You probably don't know, do you? The portrait found in Yuerong Tower was most likely painted by Madam Rongyue back then."
"Hiss." Fu Zhaoning was shocked again, "We didn't find it in Yuerong Tower."
"That's because your people didn't search carefully enough." Shen Xuan called Uncle Luo.
Uncle Luo brought over a large box and placed it on the table in front of her.
"These are the jewels that Madam Rongyue hid. You can take them back."
When Fu Zhaoning opened the box, he was almost blinded by the light.
Such a big box of jewellery, including pearls, gems, gold, jadeite, white jade, enamel and kingfisher feathers, is really dazzling.
Moreover, each piece seems to be of great value, and many of them are made with superb craftsmanship.
She picked up one of the jeweled plum hairpins and saw the gems on it sparkling and shining with an incredibly beautiful light. She looked at Shen Xuan in shock.
"Uncle, can you give me all this?"
"If not you, who should I give it to? Yuerong Tower has been sealed, and the one who sealed it was Prince Jun. Isn't Prince Jun your husband? The things found inside naturally cannot be handed over to the national treasury, nor can they be given to the emperor or empress. So of course they are given to you."
There seems to be nothing wrong with this logic?
"But since it was found by my uncle's people, I can keep it and give it to my aunt later."
"Where did my aunt come from?"
This was the first time that Fu Zhaoning mentioned Shen Xuan's wife. She hadn't heard Shen Xuan mention his wife for such a long time, but according to his age, he should have been married and had children.
Now hearing Shen Xuan's answer, she was a little overwhelmed.
Shen Xuan looked at her and smiled.
"When I was young, I was engaged to the eldest princess of Da He. However, after the royal family of Da He became wary of the Shen family, the eldest princess probably felt that the Shen family would eventually fall, and she, as an eldest princess, could not be dragged down. So, a few days before the wedding, she asked to cancel the engagement."
Uncle Luo was a little indignant after listening to this.
"Everything was clearly ready at the time, and wedding invitations had already been sent to everyone, but the princess directly cancelled the engagement, causing the master to be laughed at for a long time."
At that time, he almost became the laughing stock of the entire Dahe.
"If the eldest princess is that kind of person, then we should really be grateful to her for not marrying back then!" Fu Zhaoning said with a frown.
"Thank her for not marrying?"
Shen Xuan savored these words and couldn't help laughing.
Uncle Luo also laughed after he realized what was happening. "Miss Zhaoning, what you said is absolutely right! Later, the eldest princess married someone else, but she always felt that her husband was not as good-looking as my master, not as smart, not as good in everything, so she disliked him every day. Later, she even found several lovers, and the trouble became more and more excessive, causing no peace in the family."
In the end, the eldest princess of Dahe became a joke to Dahe.
"After the engagement was broken off, did your uncle not propose another marriage?"
"No, that's not my intention."
"A lot of things happened back then, which dragged down the master." Uncle Luo said.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Anyway, you just need to accept these things. If you don't like them, you can tear them apart and have them redone. Otherwise, you can sell them or give them as a reward to the maid. It's up to you."
He said it lightly, but Fu Zhaoning felt like he had suddenly become rich just by looking at such a large box of jewelry.
She also didn't expect that the first things she received were actually given by Shen Xuan.
"Thank you, uncle."
"Thank you for what."
"So my father, is he in Dahejing City?"
"Not in the capital, but in a city not far from the capital. I have sent people to look for it. I will tell you when I have news. Also, the Lin family has been basically investigated. Prince Jun helped to investigate, and our people have confirmed that Madam Lin's child was indeed gone, and she happened to pick up a girl of the same age outside and brought her back."
“That person is indeed Shen Qiao?”
"We need to investigate further, but it is very likely."
Anyway, Shen Xuan has already determined that Fu Lin is Shen Qiao.
"Any keepsake or birthmark or something like that?"
"Birthmark..." Shen Xuan thought, "It's true. There is a small red mole under Qiaoqiao's foot, on her right foot."
"I'll go ask!"
Fu Zhaoning thought, maybe Xie had seen Fu Lin's feet?
Otherwise, has Aunt Zhong seen it?
Anyway, I have to ask.
After she left, Uncle Luo put away his smile and said with a bit of worry, "Master, the fourth young lady should be here in less than half a month. When she sees Miss Zhaoning, will it be bad for her?"
The fourth young lady of the second house has always had a subtle feeling for her master. In fact, many people in the Shen family have noticed it, but no one dares to speak it out.
If the fourth lady sees her master favoring Miss Zhaoning when she arrives, she will probably go crazy.
And she's a little scary when she goes crazy.
Shen Xuan lowered his eyes, "Try if she is not good enough."
In the past, he was very tolerant of his family members and treated all the younger generations as his own, but this is no longer the case.
Fu Zhaoning went to the Lin Mansion, but did not see Xie and Lin Anhao.
