Chapter 188 What if it's not a relative
Fu Zhaoning couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
"Those are my parents. Why are you calling them parents?"
Helian Fei pursed his lips and said, "Sister, I don't know why, but I feel very close to you and Grandfather when I see you. Do you think this is because blood is thicker than water?"
Anyway, he couldn't explain the feeling clearly, but when he saw Fu Zhaoning, he immediately trusted and liked her. At that time, he would rather not be rescued than let her get into danger.
"Yes, yes, yes. I also think Xiaofei is very attractive. This child is very likable." Old Master Fu said with tears in his eyes.
"grandfather.."
Fu Zhaoning looked at his grandfather helplessly.
Why is he also getting involved?
Now that things haven't been clarified yet, the possibility that Helian Fei is her brother is still very low. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Even if the jade pendant really belonged to Fu Lin, and he was really held by Fu Lin at that time, it does not necessarily mean that he was her biological son.
They still don't know whether Fu Jinchen is with Fu Linshi.
What if Helian Fei was the son of Fu Lin and another man?
That He Lianfei has nothing to do with my grandfather.
However, Fu Zhaoning was too embarrassed to say this speculation out loud, for fear of upsetting his grandfather.
But she still had to say what she had to say, "Grandfather, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Don't take things for granted when they haven't happened yet. Otherwise, when the truth is revealed, how can you bear the blow?"
Old Master Fu smiled and said, "How could that be possible? I just like Xiao Fei. Even if he is not my grandson, I will not be disappointed."
Fu Zhaoning didn't believe it.
Now it seems that Old Master Fu really treats Helian Fei as his own grandson.
Helian Fei quickly said to him, "Grandfather, I am the same, too. I like you very much, too. No matter what the result is, I already regard you as my real grandfather."
"Oh, be good, be good."
Old Master Fu was very happy.
Fu Zhaoning shook his head and didn't want to say anything more.
However, she could clearly feel that Old Master Fu was in a much better mood, and he looked as if a cloud of sorrow had been lifted from his face and he looked a lot more relaxed.
This may be because I still have some hope in my heart.
Because his son and daughter-in-law have been missing for so many years, it is impossible for him not to worry and be anxious.
Over the years, he probably felt in his heart that they might have met with accidents and were no longer alive.
But if Helian Fei is their child, it means that they were still alive at least twelve or thirteen years ago, not in Zhao State, but went to the Helian tribe.
This gave him some hope.
As a father, how could I not hope that my child was still alive?
As long as they are alive, there is a chance they will come back.
In Old Master Fu’s opinion, when he dies, Fu Zhaoning will not be left alone.
With hope in his heart, he became noticeably more energetic, which may be more effective than any medicine.
Because of this hope, Old Master Fu ate half a bowl more than usual at dinner that day.
The second and third rooms have been very quiet these days.
Xiao Lanyuan asked her to hold back for now, but those people were quite patient.
"Miss, the second and third masters have taken the young ladies and young masters out."
After Xiao Tao went to find out, she came back and told Fu Zhaoning in surprise.
"Out?"
"Yes, I asked a servant, and she whispered to me that they brought a lot of luggage with them. It looked like they were going to stay away for a while and would not be back so soon."
"I said it was so quiet."
Fu Zhaoning snorted.
She thought the other party was very patient, but it turned out that he didn't even dare to live in the house? Was he trying to hide before the Fu residence was sold?
Do they really think this house can be sold successfully?
"Where is Fu Si?" she asked again.
Xiao Tao shook her head. "I didn't go to the Fourth Master's place. It was always quiet over there."
She shrank her neck, a little scared.
"Miss, the Fourth Master is so strange. Why has he been so quiet for so many years?"
Really, if they hadn't known someone lived there, they would have thought the house had been abandoned long ago.
Fu Zhaoning also wanted to know what Fu Si was doing. And the mute Fu Si's wife, she originally thought that because she was mute and honest and introverted, she would tolerate Fu Si's love for Miss Jiang. Even a half-disabled woman like this wanted to have a concubine.
It turned out that even Xiao Lanyuan couldn't find out the Fourth Madam's origins.
It turns out that the most mysterious person is the Fourth Lady who has the least presence?
"Xiao Tao," she asked Xiao Tao, "how many times have you seen the Fourth Madam in these years?"
Xiaotao thought about it and raised two fingers, but she was a little unsure.
"I only remember two times clearly. One time was when the Fourth Madam married into our family. I was still young at that time."
Xiao Tao also felt it was strange, "Another time, when the government came to look for my wife, everyone was called out."
As she spoke, she looked at Fu Zhaoning carefully again.
If it were in the past, she would have dared to mention Fu Lin in front of Fu Zhaoning. In the past, the young lady didn't want to hear anyone mention her.
But during this period of time, the lady seemed to not care at all.
"Later, there were a few times when something happened at home and everyone gathered in the garden, but I don't remember whether the Fourth Madam came out at those times, because if she did, she would probably just stay in the corner, and I can't imagine whether she was there or not."
In other words, the sense of presence is really too low.
"What does she look like?"
Fu Zhaoning searched his memory but could not remember what Madam Fu Fourth looked like. It was probably because he had never seen her before, or he simply did not pay attention to her when he saw her.
As for Fu Si, she had a vague impression of him.
When she thought of Fu Si, she shuddered subconsciously. She remembered that the look in Fu Si's eyes when he looked at her was cold and lifeless, as if he was going to suck her soul in and imprison her at any time.
Later, Miss Fu consciously avoided Fu Si. But Fu Si didn't show up much later.
Now that I think about it, Mr. and Mrs. Fu are really weird.
"Do you know where Fu San and the others went?" Fu Zhaoning felt that these people must have somewhere to go if they wanted to hide. Otherwise, with how stingy they were, they would feel it was too much of a loss to have to pay for their own food and accommodation for a period of time.
So if so many of them went together, there must be some advantage they could gain.
Xiaotao shook her head.
"Miss, I don't know where they went," Xiao Tao thought of something and said quickly, "but Chun Zheng may know!"
The four people recommended by Chen Shan before, one was named Chunzheng, one was named Qiu Sheng, and the one who Fu Zhaoning helped take care of Helian Fei changed his name to Dongshi.
"He knows?"
"Yes, Brother Chunzheng knows that we don't have a good relationship with the previous houses, so he said that he could keep an eye on their movements from time to time."
