Chapter 496: Back then, life was still young
When Old Mrs. Shen heard Shen Xuan talking about this matter, her eyes lit up.
"Eh? That's not impossible. Zhaoning is so outstanding. Although I really hope that she can become a member of the Shen family, if there is someone better than our Shen family, who is more suitable for Zhaoning and she likes him more, we still can't be too selfish."
The old lady looked at Fu Zhaoning, "Zhaoning, why don't you tell me which one you like?"
Without waiting for Fu Zhaoning to answer, she quickly said, "Don't talk about people like Xuan. Do you think he's old?"
puff.
Fu Zhaoning couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hahaha!" She looked at Shen Xuan, laughing and saying, "Uncle, every time I say that my love for you is not that kind of love, no one believes me!"
These members of the Shen family didn't know what was going on, and they all believed that there was something unusual between her and Shen Xuan.
And she felt that Shen Xuan was really special to her.
Fu Zhaoning didn't know that Shen Xuan had never allowed anyone else to live in Xixin Garden before, and that he became famous at a young age and was actually very arrogant.
Even though he was secretly bullied by the emperor over the years, he always stood up straight and never gave in. I have never seen him give in to anyone.
He was even able to continue to make a name for himself in such adversity. Master Shen, who is now famous all over the world, is still shining. Because of his great fame, the emperor did not dare to attack him directly.
Therefore, even at home, the elders had to give up their seats to Shen Xuan, his peers had to respect him, and the younger generations did not dare to speak loudly in front of him.
Doesn't it seem very special that he is suddenly so nice to someone?
Especially this girl is extremely beautiful!
What other reason could it be other than that he liked her?
So even though Fu Zhaoning explained it at the beginning, except that she couldn't say she was his biological niece, she had already said that she regarded Shen Xuan as an elder, because he was the same age as her uncle, so she called him uncle.
He also said that he was married.
In the end, no one believed it!
This is absolutely amazing.
Old Mrs. Shen and the others have been observing the details these days and feel that Fu Zhaoning and Shen Xuan have a very good understanding and know each other very well.
Sometimes the maid brought a snack, Shen Xuan picked it up without saying anything, and raised it to Fu Zhaoning. Fu Zhaoning looked over and just said naturally, "Eat it."
So he ate it.
For example, when Fu Zhaoning frowned while doing something, Shen Xuan would see it and ask someone to move a chair to replace her. Others could not notice it, but he could tell at a glance that her chair was not high enough to sit on.
Small details like these make people feel that Shen Xuan likes Fu Zhaoning very much, and Fu Zhaoning is also very good to him.
Old Mrs. Shen now wants to break them up.
"Really, Zhaoning, I really like you and treat you as my own child, so I'm telling you all this. You may think Xuan is okay now, and he doesn't look old, but you have to think about his age. He is nearly 20 years older than you. In another ten years, you will still be very young, but he will really be an old man. By then, you may even need to serve him."
Fu Zhaoning could hardly laugh anymore.
The old lady was really afraid that she would be with Shen Xuan.
She gave Shen Xuan a look, "Uncle, don't you want to say something?"
"Mother, you really don't have to worry about her anymore. I really treat her as a junior, like a daughter."
When Shen Xuan told his daughter what she said, both the old man and the old lady were shocked.
They finally straightened their expressions and looked at them.
Shen Xuan is not a person with a problem in character. If he said that she was a daughter, then he must have some bad intentions towards Fu Zhaoning.
If you're talking about a daughter, that's understandable.
After all, Shen Xuan is so old and has not yet married, so there seems to be nothing wrong with wanting to adopt a daughter.
The old lady was a little embarrassed now.
"Ah Xuan, tell me what's wrong with you. This is a good thing. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"There is one more thing, about Zhaoning's identity." Shen Xuan felt that since everything had been said, he might as well make it clearer.
"Zhao Ning is really married. Her husband is Xiao Lanyuan, the Prince of Zhao."
"What?"
Mr. Shen cried out.
"Prince Jun. Father, you heard it right, she is the Princess of Zhaoguo Jun." Shen Xuan said.
"I know Xiao Lanyuan!" Old Master Shen's face changed in shock, "But hasn't he always been sickly and lived on Youqing Peak?"
Fu Zhaoning was a little surprised.
"Does the old man know about his situation?"
"Yes, I held him in my arms when he was little." The old man sighed softly, "I remember it was midsummer at that time. Everyone was extremely hot, but the child was icy cold. But his eyes were really beautiful, like black agate soaked in a cold pond."
Fu Zhaoning looked at Shen Xuan.
"My uncle never told me that the old man had met Xiao Lanyuan."
"I don't know about that either."
"Ah Xuan doesn't know. I went to Youqing Peak to see the master of Youqing Temple, and Ah Xuan didn't go with me." Old Master Shen looked far away and thought of that year. "At that time, Prince Jun had just come up the mountain not long ago. He sat in the corner alone and didn't say a word."
"Does the old man know the master of Youqing Peak?"
"I know him. He is a strange man and a good friend of Master Chi Chen. Although Master Chi Chen has entered the Buddhist monastery, he still likes to walk around the world. The master of Youqing Peak has only built a temple that is so deserted that only a few people go there in a year, but he himself stays away from the world."
"Is the old man simply going to visit a good friend?" Fu Zhaoning asked.
"No."
The old man suddenly thought of this matter, his heart moved, and he looked at Fu Zhaoning steadily.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that he looked a little strange, Shen Xuan waved his hand, motioning Fu Zhaoning to stand behind him.
This subconscious attempt to protect Fu Zhaoning made the old man shake his head and laugh.
"Does Xuan think that I will do something bad to Zhao Ning?"
She was suddenly on guard against him.
"If Master Youqing wants to find someone to stay away from the world and accompany him, no one here is suitable."
They are still in the secular world and don't want to stay there, especially young people like Fu Zhaoning who are still lively and bright.
"What are you thinking about?" The old man waved his hand. "I have never mentioned to you that your brother was murdered and exiled, your eldest sister-in-law and nephew are all gone, and so many things happened at home. I felt depressed for a while, but it was difficult to show it in front of you, so I wanted to go out and relax, and by the way, let the master of the temple predict the future of our Shen family."
"So what did he find out?"
Mr. Shen's eyes fell on Fu Zhaoning again, "He said that the dilemma can be solved, but the chances of survival are still small."
