Mu Bo would never ask an indirect question. He asked directly: Who is around the Third Master? Are they all still there?
Zhang Yuan didn't know what he meant, and replied: Those who usually follow me are still here.
Then, Zhang Yuan really complained to Mu Bo: he strongly disagreed with what the Third Master had done.
At first, he failed to dissuade the man and was punished. As a guard, he could not betray his master or tell anyone else, so he could only endure it.
But from then on, the Third Master no longer needed him. He was just a decoration now! The two of them disliked each other, but because the Marquis was there... his father was there! Unless he was dead or disabled, he had to be with Qi Yue! Mu Bo asked Qi Yue what he had done...
Zhang Yuan sighed and did not answer.
…
Yan Zhu had a fever that night, but she was in good health and was fine the next morning.
She was staying in the inn and could go to the store in two steps, so she felt very happy, but no one allowed her to go out.
She also found out that Gu Yue was the legendary "Mr. Hu"! She was so excited!
By forcing Wen Ruoqing to attend the morning court, Hu Fei could come to see Yan Zhu. And bear a bunch of her questions...
In front of Yan Zhu, he was the same as always. But in front of others, it was different...
Master Qing was afraid that Yan Zhu would be bored, so he asked someone to prepare some food for Yan Zhu to spend time here. Yan Zhu worked enthusiastically, and Hu Fei continued to help as before...
"Is your hair naturally this white?"
"Um."
"Hahaha, when you were a little kid, wasn't it so funny?" Yan Zhu thought of the little boy with snow-white hair and laughed so hard that she fell backwards and her nose was covered with flour.
If someone else dared to say this, Hu Fei would have been angry long ago! Yan Zhu said that he recalled his childhood, "When I was very young, I was very serious. I shook my head and recited like a little old man..."
After saying that, he handed the handkerchief to Yan Zhu and pointed at her nose.
There was flour on Yan Zhu's hands as well, so she couldn't take the handkerchief. She shook her head and then rubbed it on her arm, rubbing some of it off, but there was still some.
Hu Fei went straight to her and helped her wipe it.
Yan Zhu didn't feel anything unusual, and continued to ask: "It is said that you are very good at sword dancing. When I heard it, I thought it was like dancing, a very beautiful one..."
Hu Fei was busy with trivial tasks and answered, "It looks good... but it's also very practical." There was an emotion in his eyes that could kill people...
"The Hu family is very rich, right?" Yan Zhu recalled the emotion on Master Qing's face when he mentioned the Hu family to her.
"In fact, the reason why the Hu family is famous is not only because they are rich, but also because they have many unique skills. For example, shipbuilding, spinning wheels, sesame paper, fireworks, etc. These are all very unique things inherited from the family. Some were left by the ancestors, and some were created by the descendants."
"Oh..." Yan Zhu pretended to understand, but she didn't really understand. "Hey...Last time, Ayu came back from Tianlong Temple and said that she saw a peerless beauty. She must be your wife! Ah..." Yan Zhu sat down, looking forward to it: "Ayu said that she had never seen anyone so beautiful! For someone to be praised by Ayu like this, my God, she must be so beautiful!"
This is a complicated question. Hu Fei calmly tasted his feelings. He found that he had let go of the experience that made him infatuated and desperate to the extreme... and could talk about her calmly.
"Yang Rushi. She is indeed beautiful, but more pitiful... Her beauty did not bring her a good life, but disaster and pain. After marrying me... no one dared to disrespect her anymore. In theory, she should have a carefree life. But... she could not get over the past, nor did she like the present.
Like a walking corpse, she was always unhappy. Perhaps, death was her only relief. I tried my best to help her, and almost sacrificed myself. So, I have no regrets. "
Yan Zhu listened carefully and nodded: "Well, in fact, whether to be happy or not is up to you. If she wants to, she can get out of it without you having to do anything. Ayu and I have actually been unhappy for many years...
During those days, we were very careful, afraid of being looked down upon. We spent the whole day discussing what to do to please Old Madam Wen and Lord Wen... but we found out that nothing worked.
So, we won’t be stupid! We just do what we like! But in this way, the old lady is happy again. But we don’t care about this anymore! ”
Hu Fei looked at Yan Zhu: "Zhu Zhu, you are very smart and very good."
"Really? But I'm not as smart as Ayu. But it's good like this..."
"Yes, it's great. I haven't said thank you yet!"
"Why do you say that?!"
"Have you forgotten? What I was like when I met you? It was because of you that I woke up!"
Hu Fei smiled, "You have seen my worst side. So, don't despise me..." he whispered.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing. Are you sure about accepting me as your godfather?" He was very depressed. That man was so annoying. He wanted to turn against me several times, but he held back.
"Yeah. He always makes me laugh..."
"What about me?!"
"What's the matter with you?"
"Can I make you laugh? Or in other words, am I the same as Wen Ruoqing?"
"It's different! He looks like a father. What about you..."
"What do I look like?!" Hu Fei asked anxiously.
"I can't explain it either! Ah Yu said that you want to return home and do great things. But when I think about you not showing up when I call you Gu Yue again... it's really weird."
"No. I won't leave. Yanzhu, do you really want me to be by your side whenever you call me?"
"Yeah...that's great!"
"and you……"
"Zhuzhu!" Wen Yu came! Hu Fei was about to say it after a long time, but was interrupted by Wen Yu.
He was so angry...
…
Wen Ruoqing's recognition ceremony went on without any obstruction.
The news spread and everyone started talking about it.
As a relative of Yan Zhu, Wen Yu counted: Wen family, Song family, Chen family, Zhang family, Cui family, Qi family... several tables would have to be set up.
Xu ran to Tan and had been talking for a long time. She was full of derogatory remarks...
Tan was also very depressed. She had just said something bad about Yan Zhu a few days ago, and now that Wen Ruoqing came to slap me in the face? Humph, foster father and foster daughter, do you really think it's nice!? She was unhappy, so of course she had to instigate. In just a few words, Xu was so angry that her face turned pale.
How could Wen Yu care what they said? But she wanted to invite Tan, so she had to find a chance to let Master Qing meet her to see if she could find out anything!
"Grandma, the customers who come to the store have been talking about this in the past few days. Why don't you go there too? Join in the fun!"
Tan smiled and shook her head: "Grandmother and the old lady of the Wen family are very good friends! But the things in their family are like salty salt and sour vinegar! I still don't understand it! There is such a big fuss about adopting a daughter... If the old lady Wen wrote to invite me, I would definitely go. But now... If I go, I will have to see the old lady Wen again, which will be difficult for me to do!"
Wen Yu smiled and looked at Tan. Now that only Xu and I were present, why did she go around in circles? Wasn't this accusing Wen Ruoqing of being unfilial and arrogant? Since her wish could not be fulfilled, Wen Yu did not hesitate, "Oh, is that so... What a pity!
After a few more perfunctory words, he left the house. Unexpectedly, Xu followed behind him, "Wen Yu, I heard that Madam Wen doesn't like her son Wen Ruoqing. I'm afraid that even if you rush to recognize him as your adoptive father, you won't get any benefits, right?!"
Wen Yu turned around and smiled: "Sister-in-law, don't you know that the Wen family is now supported by Master Wen, and only then can they have the status of a first-class family in the capital? Which wealthy family is not supported by promising descendants!?
Well, it’s just like my sister-in-law’s family… or some earl’s mansion, but your father’s generation is not good, and your brothers’ generation is not good either, they all fell into the middle and lower class families!”
When Wen Yu pointed at Xu's nose and called her father, she immediately responded, "Bullshit! You bitch..."
Wen Yu was not annoyed at all: "So, what do you want to do with Madam Wen... She is just a useless old lady, who cares about her?"
"Okay! How dare you say such treasonous words? I'm going to tell grandfather!" She caught her! Wen Yu suddenly leaned closer and said, "Sister-in-law, when will you get better? I think Third Aunt has everything under control in this family. These few days, I've been in and out, and none of the servants mentioned you! I'm very happy, but what about you! However... if you can really give birth to the eldest son of this generation, it will be a good thing! Don't you think so?!"
After saying that, she squinted her eyes, smiled, and walked away gracefully.
Xu stood there in a daze, so angry that she couldn't say a word...
