Chapter 408 Your Dad is Pretty Stupid

Zhuo Hongli was very surprised. He thought Song Gou had told Chen Tianqi that there was a feud between the two of them, and he hated Song Gou even more.

There were undercurrents in the imperial capital, and Zhuo Yu naturally took action in secret to eliminate some people. When he heard the news that Chen Yunci had returned, he wanted to disrupt the court.

He knew that no one would suspect him, after all, he was Zhuo Hongli's adopted son and had always been in Wanyao Pavilion.

There are people following him wherever he goes, and they know everything about his business. At least Zhuo Hongli doesn't think that Zhuo Yu is behind all this.

He believed that as long as he and Uncle Zhao didn't tell anyone, Zhuo Yu would never know that he was the real Chen Yunci.

Mo Yunzhu didn't go out for two days in a row, but the two brothers and sisters of the Fan family came. Chang Teng said that six million taels of silver were already in Yunheyuan.

So they come for medicine and treatment.

Mo Yunzhu naturally kept her promise and let Fan Fengze take the antidote, but Fan Mingzhu needed her help to recover.

Of course, teaching once is enough. The next two times, Fan Mingzhu did it herself, and the maid Xidou learned beside her.

"Mo Yunzhu, can my face really get better after three times? Not even a bit of black left?" Fan Mingzhu said to Mo Yunzhu while lying down.

"Of course, otherwise wouldn't you be at a loss for the five million taels of silver?" Mo Yunzhu smiled.

"You'd better keep your word. If not, you have to return the money." Fan Mingzhu immediately said unhappily.

"Okay, but you are the apple of your father's eye, and the Fan family has plenty of money, so why are you so stingy?"

Fan Mingzhu immediately said, "My family is rich, but my father said that too much money has been spent recently and the turnover is not smooth, so these five million taels were still deducted."

"What? The Fan family is the richest family in Chen State, but there is a time when they are broke?" Mo Yunzhu said disdainfully.

"What kind of understanding do you have? It's not that I don't have money, it's that I'm short of cash. My dad has spent too much money recently."

"Why has your father spent so much money on new business recently? Give me a share." Mo Yunzhu felt a little strange in her heart.

"Forget it, this isn't a business deal. My dad is just trying to settle old debts. Also, some people who work with my dad want to get money in advance. I don't know what's wrong with him."

"How can it be like this? Isn't it a business with integrity? It's hard to get the money in advance. What if there is a loss? Will they give it back?"

"No, my father said this is the rule between them. Haven't many people died in the imperial city recently?"

"What does this have to do with your father? Oh, your father had business dealings with them, and now that the person has died, they have to settle accounts with your father for money."

"No! You don't understand. Someone asked my father to send the money. Alas, my father is also pitiful." Fan Mingzhu sighed.

Mo Yunzhu laughed inwardly and immediately said, "I see. I heard that those who died recently were all those who helped the retired emperor to establish his empire. Then the one who asked your father for money to appease the families of these dead must be one of the retired emperor's men."

"Hey! You're quite smart, but I actually think it's quite strange." Fan Mingzhu looked worried.

"Tell me what you want to hear."

Fan Mingzhu rolled her eyes at her and said, "I don't know you well, why should I tell you this?"

"Hey, Ms. Fan, it's because I'm not familiar with him that you can vent your feelings. Would you dare to say it if you were familiar with him? Besides, the biggest advantage of being a doctor is that you will keep the patient's privacy confidential."

"If I didn't think so, I wouldn't tell you so much." Fan Mingzhu pouted.

"Then tell me, I'll analyze it for you. It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, just keep it to yourself."

"You!" Fan Mingzhu was so angry at Mo Yunzhu that she lost her temper.

Mo Yunzhu's hands moved slowly. She could have been faster, but now she wanted to drag Fan Mingzhu out to tell her the truth.

"Okay, I'll tell you, help me analyze it. I think there's something wrong with my dad."

"What's wrong?" Mo Yunzhu provided cooperatively.

"My father met a woman the night before last." Fan Mingzhu whispered.

"Seeing women, it's not normal for your father to see women. All men like to find women, and brothels are doing very well."

"Oh, I didn't go to the brothel to find a woman, but a very strange woman." Fan Mingzhu looked confused.

"Why is that so strange? Your father should be doing business."

“I don’t know either. I couldn’t sleep the night before, so I went to the fire room with Xidou to find something to eat. I saw my dad acting suspiciously, so I followed him.

But my father did not leave the house. Instead, he went to the northernmost yard in the backyard where miscellaneous items were stored.

I saw a woman coming in from the north door, and then she talked a lot with my father in the utility room.

"Ah!" Mo Yunzhu raised her eyebrows instantly.

Fan Mingzhu said with an unpleasant face: “The next day my brother and I went to ask for it, but my father said he didn’t have much money and had given it all away.

My brother said it was impossible because he had looked at the account book a few days ago. My father got angry and told us not to meddle in other people’s business.

Later I heard from my brother that many shops were moving silver and silver bills, loading them onto horse-drawn carriages in boxes.

I have a feeling it has something to do with that woman."

Mo Yunzhu asked, "Did you see that woman's face?"

“The woman was wearing a cap and I couldn’t see clearly from a distance, but my father uncovered the cap midway.

I think the woman has very fair skin, her facial features are not clear, her hair is tied up, she should be around 30 years old, the hairpin shines in the moonlight, it must be expensive. What do you think, is my father having an affair with someone's wife?"

Fan Mingzhu looked at Mo Yunzhu with a conflicted look on her face.

"It's very likely. In the middle of the night, it was a woman, and he lifted her hat. Only close people would do this. Your father must have cheated on you."

"You, you are talking nonsense!" Fan Mingzhu was angered by Mo Yunzhu's straightforwardness.

"Isn't that what you think in your heart?" Mo Yunzhu said with a smile.

Fan Mingzhu burst into tears and said, "But how could my father be such a person? He wanted women, any young and beautiful one would do, why would he look for a married woman? What if this gets out?"

"Why don't you check it out?"

"How to check, but it's very strange, I think my father cares about that woman, but that woman seems to dislike my father. My father lifted her hat, and the woman dodged, but my father was very strong and tried to pull the woman's hand, and the woman dodged, and the voice was very fierce...

But I don’t know what they said afterwards. My dad hugged the woman, and the woman struggled for a few times before she stopped moving. This bastard was so cunning that he even confused my dad.”

"Then it should be that your father agreed to give the money?" Mo Yunzhu asked doubtfully.

Fan Mingzhu nodded immediately and said, "Yes, that must be the case. That woman came to cheat my father out of his money! My father was fooled by her!"

"Your father is quite stupid." Mo Yunzhu summed up. In fact, she had already guessed that the woman should be Fan Mingzhu's biological mother, the eldest princess of the current dynasty and the sister of Emperor Chen Yan.
