Lu Tianyun took a sip of tea and scoffed. "Perhaps there is a successor to the Plum Blossom Tree, and the treasure may also exist, but to say that whoever inherits the Plum Blossom Tree will get the treasure, and whoever gets the treasure will get the world is too absurd. Today, the world belongs to the Zhao family, and the current emperor is the most virtuous. Who would dare to rebel?"
Hua Fushu also said: "It is really ridiculous and does not count. My beautiful lady, don't take it seriously. I think that even if the heir of the plum blossom really has a treasure, he would not dare to rebel."
Lu Tianyun said, "This storyteller used to say mostly the truth. I don't know why he said such paradoxical things today."
Hua Fushu said, "Telling the truth and falsehood, falsehood and truth is what storytelling is all about. It would be so boring if we just told it as it is."
Lu Tianyun said: "That makes sense. I was too serious."
Hua Fushu talked with Lu Tianyun for a while, then stood up to say goodbye. Lu Tianyun couldn't stop him, so he sent Hua Fushu to the outside of Sifang Pavilion and then returned to Sifang Pavilion.
Hua Fushu was so full that he couldn't eat anything else, so he dragged Sanqiao to Yongqing Street.
There is a gambling house called Da San Yuan. She was on her way there last time, but Ye Zelin showed up on the way and made her lose interest in going.
I have some free time today, so of course I have to go and take a look. She has always had good luck, so maybe I can win a few.
Sanqiao has always been fond of flowers, so naturally she went with her. Recently, because of the marriage, her daughter was upset and it was time for her to relax. The daughter was sensible and would not play for too long.
The gambling house was packed with people, with no room for movement. Hua Fushu forced his way in, placing his bets high. Everyone looked at Hua Fushu and laughed, sneered.
The dealer even asked Hua Fushu if he was really betting, and Hua Fushu said, "Yes!"
Hua Fushu was lucky and won several bets. Sanqiao wanted to ask Hua Fushu to leave, but seeing that Hua Fushu was having fun, she couldn't bear to ask her to leave.
Around noon, Lu Tianyun walked out of Sifang Pavilion with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Bisi comforted her, "Girl, there's no news from him this time, but maybe you'll hear from him when you come back."
Lu Tianyun said, "He left the capital for many years and never returned even after the late emperor passed away. It's a blessing to get any news from him. If I could see him again in this lifetime, I would die without regrets."
Bisi said, "Miss, please don't say such unlucky words. You and the King of Qin will meet one day. Maybe the King of Qin will return to the capital this year. Let's not talk about the King of Qin. Miss, what do you think of Miss Fushu?"
Lu Tianyun said: "Of course she is a good person. If she hadn't helped us, we wouldn't know what would have happened to us."
Bisi added, "Miss Fushu's behavior doesn't seem like that of a girl, but her maid does look a bit like a lady."
Lu Tianyun said angrily, "Why are you gossiping about others behind their backs? Have you forgotten how they saved us?"
Bisi and Lu Tianyun admitted their mistakes and went back home.
Hua Fushu was having a great time outside, but he didn't know that the General's Mansion was in chaos.
General Ye Shiheng farted for no apparent reason, and the stench filled the entire Rongli Courtyard. The housekeeper Wujing had diarrhea for no apparent reason and became completely exhausted.
Dugu Lanxi hurriedly sent someone to Xinglin Medical Clinic to invite Doctor Li. Doctor Li was originally a medical officer in the palace. He was sent out of the palace because he offended a noble in the palace. He then opened a clinic with his superb medical skills.
Doctor Li's miraculous healing skills brought Ye Shiheng back to health. After taking a dose of medicine, within less than an hour, Ye Shiheng stopped farting and Wujing stopped having diarrhea. The two of them lay on the couch like corpses.
Side is taking care of his father, and Madam Ouyang is taking care of Ye Shiheng.
Little did they know, this was all Hua Fushu's work. He had tampered with the tea he offered Ye Shiheng in the morning, and when he was frying eggs in the kitchen, he had put a poison called "Xie Bu Ting" into the food Wu Jing was eating. This drug was neither poisonous nor intoxicating, and only caused abdominal pain and diarrhea.
When Ye Shiheng and Wujing were getting better, Dugu Lanxi discovered that Hua Fushu and Sanqiao were missing. He ordered people to search the entire General's Mansion, but Hua Fushu was nowhere to be found.
Dugu Lanxi went to Rongliyuan in person and told Ye Shiheng and the others that Hua Fushu was missing. At the same time, he also ordered the maid Liuzhi to go to the academy to look for Ye Zelin.
Ye Shiheng hurriedly jumped up from the couch and went to look for Hua Fushu.
Madam Ouyang called him over, gave Dugu Lan some instructions, and then left the yard with Ye Shiheng.
Dugu Lanxi didn't dare to send anyone to inform Hua Mingqian and his wife, so he summoned the servants and maids in the mansion and ordered them to go out of the house to look for someone.
Ruhuan said, "Sister-in-law, Hua Fushu is doing this on purpose, hiding himself to make us anxious."
Dugu Lanxi said, "Ruhuan, be careful with your words. How could my sister-in-law be such a person?"
Ruhuan said, "Who knows if she is right? What if she really did it on purpose?"
Dugu Lanxi did not speak to Ruhuan again.
Not long after, Ye Zelin also came back, asked a few questions, and then went out of the house to look for someone.
It was not until the appointed time that Hua Fushu and Sanqiao returned to the General's Mansion. At that time, the main hall was full of people waiting for Hua Fushu.
Outside the mansion, lanterns were hung high, as bright as day. The flowers of the pear trees in two rows had withered and turned to dust, and the leaves had become even greener.
In the hall, Madam Ouyang sat in the main seat, the handkerchief in her hand was twisted and deformed, Ye Shiheng paced back and forth, Ye Zelin sat quietly, and Dugu Lanxi sat there, also just anxiously.
After searching almost the entire capital, Ye Shiheng still couldn't find Hua Fushu. He almost went to the Tokyo Prefecture to report the case, but fortunately Madam Ouyang stopped him.
Seeing Hua Fushu standing outside the main hall, Ye Shiheng ran over and hugged Hua Fushu's arm, "Hua'er, where have you been? You've been worrying your father to death!"
Hua Fushu let go of Ye Shiheng's hand and said, "Let's go out for a walk. It's so boring in the mansion."
Madam Ouyang also walked out of the main hall and looked at Hua Fushu, "Hua'er, why did you leave without telling us? We thought you were gone."
Hua Fushu said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, uncle and aunt. Although I'm unfamiliar with the place, I won't get lost."
Uncle and aunt?
Ye Shiheng and Madam Ouyang were both stunned. In the morning, Hua Fushu had called them father-in-law and mother-in-law with a sincere attitude. But in just one day, his attitude became so cold. Could it be that the respect he showed in the morning was all fake, just to get by?
After hearing this, Dugu Lanxi said, "Sister-in-law, how can you be so disrespectful to our father and mother?"
Hua Fushu looked at Dugu Lanxi and said to Ye Shiheng and his wife, "I have done what I promised. There is no need to do what I did not promise. Besides, someone promised me that I can do whatever I want."
He glanced at Ye Zelin in the hall.
However, Ye Shiheng and Madam Ouyang did not notice it. I don’t know whether Ye Zelin saw it or not. I only saw that his eyes avoided it intentionally or unintentionally.
Upon hearing this, Ye Shiheng and Madam Ouyang felt a chill in their hearts, especially Ye Shiheng.
His favorite daughter-in-law was not happy with the marriage. After all, it was he who planned the marriage.
Hua Fushu, who had originally disagreed with the marriage, became even more dissatisfied.
Ye Zelin walked over, still wearing the same long blue robe he wore at dawn, but it was stained with dust. In the dim candlelight, his face looked like a masterpiece of nature, a rare sculpture.
At this moment, there is no anxiety or impatience in my heart.
He bowed and said to Ye Shiheng and his wife, "Father, Mother, let me take Fushu back to Penglai Residence first. Fushu must be tired after a crazy day."
