Chapter 704 Has She Seen Your Face?
Looking at Xiao Lanyuan's mask, Old Master Fu felt a little heavy.
He didn't bother to eat the fish, so he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Lanyuan and Fu Zhaoning looked at each other.
"grandfather?"
What is on Old Master Fu’s mind?
Fu Zhaofei's excitement subsided. He looked at Fu Zhaoning, then at Xiao Lanyuan.
Hesitant to speak.
My brother-in-law seems fine now, but——
Xiao Lanyuan also sat down and looked at Old Master Fu.
"Grandfather, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Old Master Fu moved his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and looked at them.
"You never called me before," he said.
Xiao Lanyuan paused.
really.
Because of the previous incident of Fu Lin poisoning them, he didn't really want to treat everyone in the Fu family as a family.
At that time, he wanted to get the best result, which was not to hold them accountable, not to seek revenge, not to suppress them, but to just let them live like this, and it would be best if they had no contact with each other.
But how could he know that he would really lose his heart to Fu Zhaoning?
He thought a lot on the way back to Zhaoguo.
In the end, he felt that even if it was really Fu Lin who poisoned him back then, he still couldn't let Fu Zhaoning go.
He was in her hands. Not only could he not escape, he didn't even want to run away.
Now that it has been confirmed that it was not Fu Lin who poisoned her, that would be the best outcome. Of course, he would also treat her grandfather as his own grandfather.
After he came back, he called out so naturally, as if he had called out many times before. I thought Old Master Fu would just respond in a daze, but I didn't expect him to still bring it up.
"Grandfather, Ningning is my wife, we are a family, and it's not wrong for me to follow her and call you grandpa. Didn't Xiaofei also call me brother-in-law?"
"But, but don't you want to seek revenge on their parents?" Old Master Fu felt uneasy and worried.
Although they said in the afternoon that the events of that year had been investigated, they did not elaborate on the specific circumstances.
"It wasn't Madam Fu who poisoned me back then." Xiao Lanyuan held Fu Zhaoning's hand again and said calmly, "Although she was indeed there at the time, she was also framed."
"Then why don't you call her mother-in-law?" asked Old Master Fu.
Xiao Lanyuan paused, and looked at Fu Zhaoning.
"Grandfather, I haven't called them yet." Fu Zhaoning said helplessly, "Let's wait for them to come back. In fact, I haven't seen them since I was a child. They are like strangers, and it's a bit difficult to call them."
She paused, "I still feel that they are strange and can't even call them father and mother, let alone A Yuan?"
She actually felt that she was putting Xiao Lanyuan in a difficult position.
Although the facts of that year were investigated clearly and it was not Fu Lin who poisoned him, he was indeed poisoned because of what happened that year, his body was ruined, and he suffered for more than ten years. A simple statement like "she didn't poison him" would not make him treat the other person as an elder or a family member without any grudges.
It’s good enough to be able to live in peace.
As for feelings, we’ll talk about it later.
Hearing Fu Zhaoning's protection and love for him, Xiao Lanyuan felt warm at heart.
He suddenly felt that the pain he had suffered over the years had been reduced by half.
He held her hand tightly.
"Grandfather, there is actually one more thing. We have already found out about Madam Fu's background. The reason why they returned to Zhao Kingdom a little later was because Ningning's maternal grandfather's family wanted to recognize her as a relative."
They haven't had time to talk about the Shen family's affairs.
After hearing this, Old Master Fu's attention was indeed diverted.
"Grandfather?"
"Sister, are you talking about Master Shen?" Fu Zhaofei's eyes lit up, "Sister called him uncle before, saying that he was mother's brother, so did uncle's parents also recognize him as a relative?"
No matter how it was speculated before, it had not been truly confirmed, and Old Master Fu was still worried. He didn't know what the situation of the Shen family was. Now that he heard that Fu Zhaoning had confirmed his grandfather, he was also happy.
"Yes, I went there this time to treat my grandmother's illness, and I also stayed at the Shen family for a while. When I came back, my grandparents hadn't seen my parents yet—"
Although I received a letter from Shen Xuan on the way saying that they had recognized each other, I didn't know the specific situation.
"Okay, okay, okay, the Lin family has never been kind to your mother. Now that it is confirmed that the Shen family is her real home, you two siblings will have one more relative in this world—"
This is what makes Old Master Fu happiest.
"I was worried before that after I left, Zhaoning would be left alone and helpless."
He sighed and looked at Fu Zhaoning with loving eyes.
"Now it's good. We have Xiaofei, your parents have been found, as well as your grandfather's family and your uncle—"
He said this with a pang of sadness in his heart and his eyes became red.
I was really afraid that once he died, Fu Zhaoning would be alone and without any relatives in this world.
So at that time, even though he knew that Master Fu Er, Master Fu Si and the others were not good people, he still didn't dare to drive them out. He thought that they were relatives after all, and they could protect Fu Zhaoning if anything happened.
He had thought wrong before.
But now, Fu Zhaoning already has a family.
The girl who depended on him for everything has now become a very powerful person.
"Grandfather, I will work hard in the future and protect my sister when I grow up." Fu Zhaofei said.
Xiao Lanyuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
No, after saying so much, why didn’t you tell everyone that Ningning has him?
He is Ningning's husband. He is her real support and the person closest to her.
Why does it seem like Old Master Fu doesn't trust him very much?
Just as Xiao Lanyuan was about to speak, Old Master Fu looked at him.
"Prince Jun, during the days you were away from the capital, many people in the capital have been talking about you."
"Grandfather, just call me by my name." Xiao Lanyuan said.
Old Master Fu paused. Why didn't he respond to him?
He paused and continued, "Your appearance is ruined, and others certainly dare not say it in front of you, but, but today I am embarrassed to ask in person, has our Zhao Ning seen your face?"
When these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Lanyuan's face.
Butler Zhong and the others felt their hearts rise to their throats.
They had all ignored this matter after the prince and princess returned, but now that Old Master Fu suddenly revealed it, they all remembered what had happened in the capital over the past six months.
They all said that Prince Jun had become the Ghost-faced Cripple Prince.
Everyone is afraid of it, and children cry non-stop when they see it.
Some people even said that a man with such a disfigured face must have been punished by heaven, and that God was displeased and had punished him, since he was, after all, the son of a dragon.
Some people say that such a person is not qualified to lead the Dragon Shadow Guard and hold the seal of Zhao State.
"grandfather--"
Fu Zhaoning was about to speak when Old Master Fu interrupted her. "Zhaoning, this is not a trivial matter."
