Chapter 326: I don't seem to hate you that much anymore
"The Shenyi Sect is a reputable and upright sect that everyone wants to destroy."
Seeing her like this, Xiao Lanyuan couldn't help but want to comfort her, "According to what I have found out, Fu Jinchen was so smart and intelligent back then, it's reasonable that he wouldn't be so easily tricked into joining a religion."
Back then, Fu Jinchen was a top scholar with a bright future ahead of him. He had just married his beloved woman and was too proud to be coaxed into submission by anyone or become a religious believer.
Fu Zhaoning sighed softly.
"I hope so."
"What's wrong? Is the situation a little reversed now? I'm trying to comfort you, but you don't trust your parents anymore?"
Xiao Lanyuan found it a little funny.
He himself seemed to have changed.
In the past, whenever he mentioned Fu Jinchen and his wife, and thought of how badly he had been poisoned that time, his heart was filled with hatred, and whenever he mentioned the two of them, he only felt murderous intent.
But now, he actually wanted to help them find excuses to get away with it.
His murderous intent was no match for his fear that she was in a bad mood.
Speaking of Fu Jinchen and his wife, he was surprisingly still calm.
Fu Zhaoning was stunned for a moment, looking at his somewhat helpless expression, and suddenly burst out laughing.
After she finished laughing, she didn't know what to say. She coughed to clear her throat and asked, "Have you decided when to go to Yuheng Mountain?"
"Have you told your grandfather?"
"not yet."
"I'm going to be away for a long time. Have you thought about how to settle him?"
"His health has improved a lot now, there are a lot more people at home, and Aunt Xie is here too, I just need to prepare enough medicine."
If it were half a month ago, Fu Zhaoning would really be worried about leaving like this.
"I thought about it. The New Year is coming soon. If we leave now, we won't be able to come back this year. So, let's go after the New Year." Xiao Lanyuan said.
Fu Zhaoning was stunned for a moment.
Of course she wanted to spend the New Year at home before leaving.
But the sooner his body can find all the herbs, the better. It will do him no good to delay.
They set off for Yuheng Mountain. She could try to find medicinal herbs along the way. Xiao Lanyuan might have the intention to take her with him.
But this delay lasted for two months.
"Your grandfather must want to spend the New Year with you. Otherwise, he will be worried about you if you are away. It will be very cold during the New Year, and the elderly are particularly afraid of the cold. You can keep an eye on his health at home at any time, so you can feel more at ease."
"So you still consider me and my grandfather in every way?" Fu Zhaoning glanced at him, "Why do I remember that someone is more afraid of the cold when the poison takes effect?"
"Indeed, I am afraid of the cold too. In previous years, I couldn't leave the house at this time of year and had to stay in the house with the charcoal stove lit. But this year, with the blood of the Deer King, I feel much better."
Xiao Lanyuan therefore trusted Fu Zhaoning's medical skills even more.
"Master may find some good medicine this time. I will contact him. If there are any herbs you can use, please ask him to keep them for you."
"good."
So they decided to leave after the New Year.
This also gave Fu Zhaoning time to talk to Old Master Fu about this matter.
The end of the year is approaching soon.
It snowed heavily near New Year’s Eve, and the capital city became a white world overnight.
The emperor made small moves from time to time and even held a winter banquet. He asked Xiao Lanyuan to bring Fu Zhaoning into the palace and tried every means to find out what the three tokens were.
Xiao Lanyuan simply showed him the first two tokens.
Without the third token, it would be impossible to guess what it was just by looking at these two. The emperor was too embarrassed to ask him directly where and how it was used, so in the end he could only suppress it and not ask for the time being.
"I don't believe that they will not take any action. Let's keep an eye on Prince Jun's Mansion. If they take any action, follow them. Don't alert them."
By then, he will be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
After making this plan, the emperor was no longer in a hurry.
Fu Zhaoning spent New Year's Eve at the Fu family.
Mrs. Xie and Lin Anhao also drank half a glass of wine. Both mother and daughter were very happy and relaxed.
Lin Anhao has now changed her name to Xie Anhao.
She felt very relaxed at the Fu family. Everyone praised and encouraged her. With Fu Zhaoning's acupuncture and prescriptions, she recovered very quickly.
Now, as long as there is no stimulation or shock, everything looks normal.
Mr. Fu's health has obviously improved a lot.
The happiest people this New Year are Hu Zi and He Lian Fei, because their leg injuries have almost healed.
There's no problem with walking, as long as you don't run too fast or do any heavy work.
Fu Zhaoning, Helian Fei and Xie Anhao built several snowmen in the yard.
“I haven’t been this happy in years.”
Old Master Fu sat in a rocking chair and looked at Helian Fei and Xie Anhao playing outside.
Mrs. Xie was brewing tea nearby, her eyes also tinged with smiles, "Me too, I haven't seen An Hao laugh so happily in a long time. I am really grateful to Zhao Ning, if it weren't for Zhao Ning, I don't know what I would do."
She doesn't know how to repay Fu Zhaoning in this life.
"Don't say that. Zhaoning is a good girl. She does that because you and Anhao are good to her and have no bad intentions. You have helped us before. It's too polite to thank you all the time. We are all family. Stop saying different things." Old Master Fu smiled.
"Okay." Xie nodded.
"In the past, when the Fu family's branches were all here, even though there were many people, I really didn't feel this kind of ease and happiness. In previous years, when it was New Year's Day, they would send the children over to ask for New Year's money, and they would not accept it if they gave too little."
Old Master Fu recalled what happened before, shook his head and smiled, "At that time, I was still thinking that after all, I was the head of the family and the elder, so it was my duty to give the children New Year's money. When I ran out of money, I rummaged through boxes and cabinets, took out some things to pawn, and exchanged them for silver to give them New Year's money."
"Old Master, you are just too kind-hearted."
"Isn't it? Later I found out that they were still complaining behind my back that I gave them too little. They had the New Year's Eve dinner in the front yard, and they didn't invite Zhaoning and me. We didn't have anything to eat. One year, Zhaoning ran to the kitchen in front to see, and came back to tell me, Grandpa, they are stewing ginseng chicken soup, braised fish, and pork knuckles. Can they honor you by sending one dish from each family?"
Old Master Fu sighed.
"At that time, I said that we were not greedy for that bite of food. I also told Zhaoning not to always go to their kitchen to look. If they found out, they would think you were stealing food. It would be very bad for a girl to have such a reputation."
