Chapter 229: Identity of the Birth Mother
At this moment, Zhuo Hongli's mind was filled with those two similar pretty faces, and he was suddenly stunned when he heard Fan Fengze's words.
Then he realized that Fan Fengze still wanted to know who Fan Mingzhu's biological mother was.
Zhuo Hongli had considered this before and would not tell Fan Fengze. After all, the relationship between him and Fan Dahu was not comparable to that between him and Fan Dahu as his son.
But after hearing what Fan Fengze said just now, he actually had a strong urge in his heart to go back to Yu Garden, which was the place where his beloved woman had once lived and loved the most.
If Mo Yunzhu were to live here in the future, would everything be like going back to the way it was before?
"Uncle Zhuo, my father is older than you and his health is not very good." Fan Fengze sighed lightly, "Do you really want to rely on Zhuo Yu to marry into our Fan family?"
Zhuo Hongli's eyes were dark, then he picked up the teacup and drank slowly.
"I don't think Zhuo Yu is that easy to control. He has his own abilities. Even without Wanyao Pavilion, he can't be starved to death. Of course, it would be best if you could control him, but a father-son relationship that is forced will sooner or later turn into hatred. But between you and me, we can directly link interests. Uncle Zhuo, interests are the most long-term cooperation."
"Actually, do you know what's the use? Mingzhu is your half-sister after all." Zhuo Hongli sighed.
Fan Fengze laughed and said, "Isn't this curiosity? My father dotes on Mingzhu too much, so I'm curious about who that woman is. Of course, I'm a little angry in my heart. My father betrayed my mother, but there are many concubines in the mansion, and my mother didn't say anything, so naturally I have nothing to say either. I'm just too curious." After saying this, he shrugged.
Zhuo Hongli thought about it and said, "I don't want your one million taels. I want Yu Garden and 10% of the profits from all the properties under your name, Fan Fengze."
Fan Fengze was suddenly stunned, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
He didn't expect Zhuo Hongli to be so greedy, but his expression changed in an instant, and he soon laughed and said, "Uncle Zhuo really has a big appetite."
After Zhuo Hongli said this, he seemed to be relieved. He smiled and said, "Didn't you say that only interests can last long? As long as the Fan family doesn't fall, the relationship between you and me won't fall either, right?"
"Hahaha, Uncle Zhuo is right. Okay, success after success. We will have more and more industries in the future."
Fan Fengze was willing to risk everything for the sake of a name, because he had to catch his father's handle so that he could finally get the most of the Fan family's property.
Zhuo Hongli smiled and said, "Okay, there is no need for us to sign an agreement. I believe in the promise of the young master."
Fan Fengze immediately smiled and said, "That's right, I wouldn't dare to deceive your Uncle Zhuo."
Fan Fengze really didn't dare to do this, after all, he knew a little about how ruthless this man was.
Zhuo Hongli immediately said seriously: "Fan Mingzhu's mother is the current eldest princess of Chen State."
The Princess of Chen State is the elder sister of the Emperor and the eldest daughter of Chen Tianqi who seized the throne. The new Emperor of Chen State is the eldest son of Chen Tianqi.
In other words, the eldest princess is the eldest sister of the current emperor, and her status is extremely noble.
Fan Fengze's face changed drastically, and his eyes popped out of his head in shock.
"How could it be?" He couldn't believe that his father was having an affair with the eldest princess and had a daughter.
Zhuo Hongli sighed and said, "It was also an accident back then. When the eldest princess was not yet a princess, her life was saved by your father. Your father fell in love with the eldest princess at first sight, but the eldest princess already had a husband.
Later, the princess gave birth to Fan Mingzhu. This was a royal scandal. The princess gave the child to your father as soon as she was born, and told the public that the child died. By the way, the princess was more than ten years younger than your father.
"You, how do you know so clearly?" Fan Fengze looked at him.
"Because I was there when your father did that thing." Zhuo Hongli's tone was calm, but Fan Fengze could hear some contempt in it.
"What?" Fan Fengze was a little unable to accept this sentence.
"Hehe, your father has fallen in love with the eldest princess... If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have survived, let alone having a daughter in the end." Zhuo Hongli's words made Fan Fengze feel cold in his heart.
His own father actually raped the eldest princess at that time, who should have been considered a county princess, and got married, but this was too courageous.
Fan Fengze now thought about what his father meant by wanting to marry Fan Mingzhu off to a wealthy official family.
The eldest princess and her daughter naturally thought that their son-in-law should also be a wealthy man.
Unfortunately, Fan Mingzhu was spoiled by him. Not knowing her status, which court official would marry the daughter of a merchant and still spoil her?
"I hope Mr. Fan will keep his promise. I'll take my leave now." Zhuo Hongli said and left.
Fan Fengze sat for a long time before going back to the house and lying down. He really didn't expect Fan Mingzhu's identity to be so awesome.
The eldest princess is still alive. Does she know that her daughter is still alive?
But even if they knew, they probably wouldn't admit it. After all, she was raped by Fan Dahu. How could such a thing be spread to others?
While Fan Fengze was active in his thinking, Ouyang Cong also got the news from his confidants, and he was also shocked.
I didn't expect Fan Dahu to do such a reckless thing. If the current emperor knew about this, the Fan family would be implicated.
After Ouyang Cong asked his men to keep the secret, he hurriedly called Mo Yunzhu away and told her the news.
Mo Yunzhu was also extremely shocked, then he touched his chin and smiled extremely wickedly.
This is really good news. She asked Chang Teng to tell Jun Huolan.
However, Mo Yunzhu didn't expect that old Zhuo Hongli actually asked people to go down to the river to investigate, nor did she expect that Fan Fengze had already suspected Jun Huolan and her.
But so what? Now one of the siblings is still injured and the other is still poisoned, so we have to spend money.
This dumb thing has to be eaten even if you don’t want to.
Five days later, the full moon arrived, but Lan Yan had not yet developed the antidote for Fan Mingzhu, so Mo Yunzhu could not leave Ouyang Mansion, and Fan Fengze had to add another million to keep Mo Yunzhu.
Even though Fan Fengze was extremely angry inside, he didn't dare to say anything on the surface. After all, he couldn't let anything happen to his sister Fan Mingzhu.
But when the full moon came, Zhuo Hongli and Zhou Shu were both very anxious.
In Moyun Building, Uncle Zhou looked at Zhuo Hongli walking back and forth and said, "Master, what should we do tonight?"
Zhuo Hongli said: "Mo Yunzhu is still in Ouyang Mansion. I can't go to Ouyang Mansion. I can only invite her. But Fan Mingzhu..."
"As long as we give Miss Mo more money, I believe Fan Mingzhu won't have any problem staying overnight." Uncle Zhou said, "I heard that Jun Huolan bought a lot of medicinal herbs and spent a lot of money. Miss Mo must be very short of money."
"She made a lot of money from Fan Fengze this time." Zhuo Hongli frowned.
"I wouldn't complain about having too much money." Uncle Zhou said with a smile, "But, old man, are you sure you want to reveal your secret? The young master doesn't even know it."
Zhuo Hongli's old face twisted a few times and he said, "I don't want to be exposed either, but it hurts so much that I can't recover for several days."
Thinking of the bone-grinding pain, Zhuo Hongli was filled with fear.
