Chapter 742 Their Purpose
Before Xie and the others could tell them about Prince Jun, someone outside banged hard on the door of Fu's residence.
Chen Shan went to open the door, and a group of people rushed in.
Chen Shan was familiar with some of these people. When he was still a gangster in the capital, he had always been interested in these wealthy people and small officials.
These people are around 30 or 40 years old, almost the same age as Fu Jinchen.
"Master Fu!"
"Quick, I heard that Master Fu is back?"
"Is Master Fu really back?"
A group of people rushed in and looked at Fu Jinchen excitedly.
While they were shocked at how young and handsome Fu Jinchen was, and how beautiful and demure Shen Qiao was, they did not forget the purpose of their visit to Fu's house.
They started talking at once.
"Brother Fu, you are really not dead!"
"Mr. Fu, do you still remember me? I'm Dong Han, the one who always followed you to make couplets in the teahouse!"
"Jin Chen, I'm He Shaolin. We almost worshipped the same teacher!"
"Master Fu, we bet on essays several times back then. I've thought of you from time to time during the eighteen years you were missing. You're finally back!"
So many people were talking loudly, and the noise was so deafening that it almost blew the roof of the Fu family's house off.
Fu Jinchen and Shen Qiao thought of many possibilities along the way, wondering what would be waiting for them when they returned, but they never expected it to be like this.
It can be said that they expected many things to appear, but definitely not these people.
Compared with the people they predicted, these people now can be said to be insignificant outsiders, but why would these people come to the Fu family first?
He and Shen Qiao are still in an awkward position now. Although the wanted warrant for them in the capital has been withdrawn long ago, people in the capital should still be wary of them because of what they did back then. They have to wait and see what the emperor and Prince Jun's attitude towards them is before they dare to take any action.
Why would he rush to the Fu family now and start trying to get close to him, talking about their old friendship?
Fu Jinchen gave his wife a soothing look, raised his hand and raised his voice.
"Everyone, do you still remember that my wife, I and Prince Jun still have a grudge that has not been resolved?"
No one expected him to say something like this, and the voices suddenly fell silent.
Fu Jinchen slowly scanned their faces. Relying on his extremely strong memory and recognition ability, he could indeed recognize a few people who overlapped with the young men in his memory.
However, these people have changed a lot and are very different from what they were eighteen years ago.
"My wife and I had just stepped into the house when you all followed us in. I don't know who notified you, but—"
Fu Jinchen's two sentences immediately took control of the whole situation, leaving them unable to continue.
"Come here, two people, write down the names of the guests, and I will investigate again when I am free. After all, you all get information so quickly, and there will always be places where I need help in the future."
Chen Shan was agile and stepped forward immediately.
"My name is Chen Shan. Nice to meet you, Master. I'll get some paper and pen to register and give a copy of the list to Miss when the time comes."
In fact, they had never thought that Fu Jinchen would come back before, so they all called her Miss Fu Zhaoning and only talked about herself.
Now that Fu Jinchen and Shen Qiao are back, I can only call her "Miss".
The people just came back, and the Fu family is still in chaos.
However, when Chen Shan mentioned the "young lady" at this time, these people instantly understood that he was talking about Fu Zhaoning.
Their hearts skipped a beat and they became a little confused.
Fu Zhaoning! Princess Jun! They had all heard a lot about her deeds. She was not someone to be trifled with. She even dared to confront the Emperor. In Fu Zhaoning's eyes, they were nothing!
If they are really targeted, they will be in trouble in the future!
These people immediately backed off.
The people who asked them to come and make trouble said that there were enough people coming, and eighteen years had passed, so Fu Jinchen would definitely not recognize them or remember them.
As long as enough people come and the scene is chaotic enough, they will make a fuss and then run away, and the Fu family will not be able to catch any of them.
But who could have thought that Fu Jinchen would have this trick?
"Brother Fu, don't remember it. We just happened to see you on the street—"
"Yes, yes, no one notified us."
"We don't have any source of information. This is all a misunderstanding—"
They all wanted to withdraw, because Fu Zhaoning was no joke.
"Since you're already here, let's reminisce about the past first. There's no rush to leave." Fu Jinchen said calmly, "Aren't you here to greet me, an old friend?"
"You and your sister-in-law just came back, you must be tired, we'll come back later."
"Yes, yes, you guys take a rest first, we're not in a hurry, bye bye."
These people said goodbye again and ran away quickly.
It came suddenly and quickly, and it also went away quickly.
They were like a swarm of bees, flying in and out and leaving all the servants confused.
Xie was also stunned and asked, "So what are they here for?"
Uncle Zhong shook his head, bewildered. "I haven't seen any of them come to my house in all these years."
Fu Jinchen's eyes dimmed as he thought of those people who had just rushed over and were very close to them.
What is the purpose of those people making such a fuss?
We need to think about this carefully. There must be a reason. Those people can't do this for no reason. What good can it do for them?
Shen Qiao gently pulled his hand and said softly, "Husband, there were two people just now. I also saw them at the palace banquet."
Fu Jinchen's heart skipped a beat.
So, are those two people trying to take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters? They need to distract the others, hide among them, and approach them as soon as possible.
"Someone smells weird."
Xie Anhao suddenly spoke timidly, and everyone's eyes immediately fell on her.
Xie Anhao was a little nervous, but she still mustered up the courage to say, "I have helped Sister Zhaoning deal with medicinal materials many times. Sister Zhaoning also told me that some smells are inherently dangerous, indicating that they are made from some harmful medicinal materials--"
She lowered her head slightly and said carefully, "But I can't smell what kind of medicinal herbs it is. If Sister Zhaoning were here, she would definitely be able to smell it."
"Is that the smell coming from those two men with their hands tucked into their sleeves?" Shen Qiao asked.
Xie Anhao looked up at her in surprise.
Is Sister Zhaoning’s mother also so meticulous?
Mrs. Xie held her hand and said, "Your Aunt Chen is not a bad person. She was very kind to mother in the Lin family before. Just tell me if it's true or not."
She absolutely did not believe that it was Shen Qiao who poisoned Prince Jun.
After so many years, Shen Qiao's eyes are still as clear as before, and Xie believes that people with such a pair of eyes are not bad people.
Xie Anhao nodded, "It's them."
