Chapter 246 Chapter 246 Who did I get pregnant?
Several young ladies were chatting in the attic. Since they had a common topic, they became more and more excited.
Fang Peizhou originally wanted to have a good drink with some brothers, but when he learned that Wu Lan was drinking tea here with some young ladies, Fang Peizhou, who had a rare chance to rest, naturally went over to say hello.
How could the shopkeeper not know that the Fang and Wu families were about to get married? When he saw Fang Peizhou coming, he went to meet him and flatteringly told Fang Peizhou about Wu Lan's situation in the private room. He then took the initiative to take the person away without informing Wu Lan.
After opening the outer door, Fang Peizhou, who had excellent hearing, stood outside the private room and heard the occasional voices from inside, which seemed to be full of righteous indignation and seemed to be defending justice. All of them were talking about his younger brother. The hand that was raised to knock on the door dropped down.
When Fang Peihong, the second son of the Fang family, saw his eldest brother coming back from greeting his eldest sister-in-law, he smiled and poured a cup of tea over to him. "Brother, have you greeted my sister-in-law? You don't look right!"
Fang Peizhou looked at Fang Peihong dimly, then turned to the silent Fang Peihao. He pondered for a long moment, "The three of us brothers are all here today. I want to ask you, what do you think about Fourth Brother's matter?"
"Brother, why are you asking this suddenly?" Fang Peihong suppressed his smile and thought of his sister-in-law who was about to come in, his eyes darkened.
Fang Peizhou glanced at Fang Peihong, the displeasure in the latter's eyes not escaping his notice. "You should all know that if this happened to Fourth Brother, in any other family, he would have been kicked out long ago. Even if the prominent figures in the capital didn't mention it in front of us, they would definitely talk about it behind our backs as a topic of conversation after dinner. Have you ever blamed Fourth Brother?"
Fang Peihao raised his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and said lightly and disdainfully: "Everyone talks about others behind their backs, and everyone is talked about behind their backs. Isn't it normal for Fourth Brother to be talked about? After all, some people just have too much free time. If they want to say something, then say it. As long as they don't say it in front of us, it's fine. In this kind of thing, can you really stop the gossip? We should just live our own lives. Instead of thinking about those insignificant things, we should think about where to find our nephew."
"Third brother, you're right. He's our fourth brother. If we feel ashamed of him, what else can he do? After all, is this something he really willing to do?"
Fang Peihong's nose felt sore as he said, "I don't know where Bao'er is now. My nephew hasn't been found yet, so everything else has to be put aside. If... Big brother, you can go your separate ways, and we can live with Fourth Brother. Although Third Brother and I are not as successful as Big Brother, we will have no problem supporting Fourth Brother and Nephew in the future. As long as we are still alive, whoever dares to bully Fourth Brother will be killed."
Fang Peihong is a protective person. When Baoer was alive, he treated his nephew as his own son. Now that Baoer has not been found, the eldest brother says such things. If the fourth brother knew about it, how sad would he be?
Fang Peihao finally understood what Fang Peizhou meant. He couldn't help but frown. It would be a lie to say he wasn't disappointed. "Or is it the intention of my sister-in-law who hasn't even entered the family yet? I'm putting this out there. If my sister-in-law wants to...either you guys leave, or the three of us brothers go out and live on our own. A big tree branches out, and a grown-up son splits up the family. It's that simple."
Even couples who live together day and night have disagreements and quarrels. As brothers, the two younger brothers know Fang Peizhou's character very well. But no matter how well they know, they can't stand the fact that some men forget their mothers after getting married. If they can even forget their mothers, let alone their brothers.
Fang Peizhou explained: "You know me. My fourth brother is my family, my brother. If he loses his hands or feet, wouldn't he be in so much pain?"
"Brother, do you want to say something?" Fang Peihao knew his elder brother. If there was no specific situation, he would not say those words for no reason.
Faced with his cunning third brother, Fang Peizhou had no choice but to reveal what Wu Lan and a few friends had said. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop. They just happened to be talking about my fourth brother. I didn't know Wu Lan...she had asked about him in a subtle way before."
In front of Fang Peizhou, Wu Lan was always a sensible, gentle, modest and sensible lady. As for Fang Zixi's affairs, Wu Lan never said anything to Fang Zixi. Instead, she felt sorry and sympathetic for Fang Zixi's bad marriage. She even comforted him, asking him not to care too much about these things so as not to make Fang Zixi feel bad.
It was precisely because of these things that Fang Peizhou developed a favorable impression of Wu Lan. He knew that Wu Lan's status in the capital was neither good nor bad. In the eyes of outsiders, Wu Lan's ability to marry him was tantamount to becoming a phoenix from a tree. In order to give Wu Lan face and tell everyone that the Fang family valued her, Fang Peizhou prepared carefully for this wedding.
But today, he realized that he had never seen the gentle person in his memory clearly.
It is said that one should marry a virtuous wife. Marrying an unvirtuous wife will ruin three generations. If you marry someone who looks down on her brothers and has grievances against them, can this family still be peaceful?
Fang Peizhou is worried!
Fang Peihong slammed the table in anger. If he hadn't been concerned about Wu Lan being his future sister-in-law, he would have gone over and had a fight with Wu Lan no matter how big or small.
"Brother, if that's the case, what do you think?" Fang Peihao thought to himself. His brother was good in everything except his eyesight. He was not very good at judging people. Although Wu Lan had a good reputation outside, he noticed the displeasure that flashed in his eyes when he saw Fang Zixi.
Fang Peizhou: "Go back and discuss it with my parents. The marriage is almost known to everyone now. If we cancel the engagement, not only will it be bad for Wu Lan's reputation, I'm afraid Prince Xiao will also have a problem with our Fang family."
Therefore, this cancellation of the engagement is not just a matter between two people, and the relationship between them is very complicated.
…
After seven days of stopping and starting, an ordinary carriage finally drove into the city gate. Xu Yi followed on horseback. "Master, should we go find an inn to stay in first or do something else?"
Xu Yunfan didn't dare to treat Xu Yi as a servant. The farm was their own house, and Xu Er and his group were there too. Xu Yi would definitely feel more comfortable there than staying in an inn. "You can go to the farm and rest first. I'll take care of the rest myself."
"Yunfan, where are we going next?" Qin Run actually had a place he wanted to go, but he still respected Xu Yunfan's opinion.
"We'll go wherever you want." Xu Yunfan threw the question back, "I'll listen to you."
Qin Run: "Dad said last time that if we go to Beijing, we will go to his place. When he returns to Beijing, he will tell grandpa and the others about father's place... So, why don't we go to Dad's place."
"Brother, can you take An'er to see father?" Qin An also begged.
Xu Yunfan looked at the silent Qin Mu and asked softly, "Does Mu Ge'er want to go too?"
"I do, but if my brother-in-law doesn't want to go, then Brother Mu doesn't want to go either." Compared to the desire to see Qin Feiyu, Xu Yunfan is more important to Qin Mu.
Although he is young, he remembers things.
He knew that he was a member of the Qin family, and this would never change, because that was what Gefu had promised him, that they would be a family for life, but he also knew that Qin Feiyu was not his biological father, although he loved his father very much, but this love was far less than his love for Gefu.
Xu Yunfan held Qin Mu on his lap and touched his face lovingly. Qin Run lowered his head and rubbed against Qin Mu without saying a word, but all the unspoken meanings were implied.
Things were different in Beijing than in the village, so Qin Run specially bought new clothes for the three children and Xu Yunfan. Xu Yunfan had a good figure and wore a white dress. Although his hair was a little shorter and looked a little out of place, Xu Yunfan's temperament and appearance overwhelmed the incongruity, and he looked like a handsome and elegant young man.
It was the first time for Xu Yunfan to officially go to his father-in-law's house, so how could he go empty-handed? After getting off the carriage, Qin Run held Qin An's left hand and Qin Mu's right hand, and Xu Yunfan held Xiaobao. There were five people in the family. The eldest one was tall and had long legs, and his appearance was rare. The three cute children made a beautiful sight. Passers-by and even vendors on both sides of the street turned their heads to take a few more glances.
"Hey, Fangfang, look at that guy over there. Who's his family? Why haven't I seen him before? He's so handsome! I've never seen a guy so charming!" The girl was speechless. When had such a handsome, heart-pounding young man appeared in the capital? Why hadn't she seen him before?
This person is so good-looking that it makes people feel itchy just by looking at him.
Fangfang, who was eating her wonton with her back to Xu Yunfan and the others, looked around and said, "Who is it? Do you have to be so exaggerated? You said the same thing when you met Prince Xiao before."
"It's different. This guy is truly stunning. Look over there, the one with the three children. Look, they're coming."
Fangfang turned her head to look, and when she did, it was as if she had pressed the pause button, not even realizing that the mess in her mouth had disappeared.
"Dad, look, what is that?" Xiaobao was very excited. Whenever he saw something he didn't recognize along the way, he would exclaim, point it at Xu Yunfan, and ask Xu Yunfan what it was.
The sweet voice makes people's hearts soften.
Fang Peihong, who came out of the restaurant, heard the child's excited voice and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound. When he saw it, Fang Peihong seemed to have seen something unexpected. He started to tremble all over, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes were wide open.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his second brother like this, Fang Peizhou couldn't help but look in the direction of Fang Peihong's gaze. This time, he saw the face of the child lying on Xu Yunfan's shoulder.
Fang Peizhou trembled, "Baoer!"
"Bao'er?" Fang Peihao also looked over. Upon seeing this, he immediately exclaimed, "Bao'er!"
The three brothers didn't care about anything else. They pushed through the crowd blocking their way and ran towards Xu Yunfan.
Bastard! Damn bastard, how dare he kidnap their Fang family's little sweetheart and now bring her right under their noses, how arrogant he is!
When Xu Yunfan felt his arms empty, he was stunned for a moment. No, these days people dare to snatch children so brazenly and blatantly?
In broad daylight, under the clear sky, how dare you snatch food from his mouth and grab the child from his arms?
Isn't this a blatant slap in the face of Xu Yunfan?
Xu Yunfan was displeased and squinted his eyes and said, "Who are you? Give my son back to me."
As he spoke, he protected Qin An and Qin Mu behind him, and Qin Run hurriedly held them both.
Xiaobao was snatched away by Fang Peizhou and was held in his arms. Before he could react, he looked up. After seeing Fang Peizhou's face clearly, an inexplicable sense of familiarity came over him. This person made him feel so kind, but he couldn't remember who this person was.
When they saw Xu Yunfan's appearance clearly, not only Xu Yunfan, whose child was kidnapped, was stunned, but even the three brothers of the Fang family were dumbfounded.
This... isn't this the bastard who deceived their fourth brother and got him pregnant?
The other party admitted it himself.
OK!
He did that to their fourth brother, causing a death and then running away, which would have been fine, but now he has the guts to come back and steal a child?
The three brothers of the Fang family had good reason to suspect that Baoer was abducted by Xu Yunfan.
You said you could have escaped to the ends of the earth, but you had to show up in the capital. Isn't this a provocation?
New hatred and old grudges are added to it. If this guy is not taught a lesson today, he might think that the Fang family is easy to bully. Does he think that Fang Zixi has no one to support her?
"Your child? You fucking know that this is your child? We raised the child with all our heart and soul, and now you dare to run out and recognize the child? You fucking beast, how can such a good thing happen in the world?" Fang Peihao is a gentleman. He usually speaks politely and will not curse easily unless he really can't help it. Besides, does he think that he is scolding people?
No, he was calling them beasts.
Xu Yunfan was stunned by the scolding, and even Qin Run was stunned. Just as Xu Yunfan was about to speak, a fist shadow came towards him.
"Father!"
"Yunfan!"
"Goff!"
The scene became chaotic for a while.
Xu Yunfan is not someone who can stand there and let others hit him. When someone punches him, there is absolutely no reason for him not to fight back.
Although the brothers Fang Peihong and Fang Peihao were scholars, their father had someone teach them some martial arts to strengthen their bodies since they were young. Logically speaking, in a two-on-one situation, Xu Yunfan should have been at a disadvantage. Unfortunately, after just a few moves, Xu Yunfan kicked the men away one by one.
Xiaobao's three calls of "father" and "brother-in-law" forced Xu Yunfan to make a quick decision, as he was afraid of scaring the children. When the three Fang brothers heard Xiaobao calling their father a scumbag, they became even more furious. Fang Peizhou put Xiaobao down and joined in.
Several men were fighting in the street, three of them were young masters of the Fang family. Soon, the police officers in charge of public security arrived.
Yang Yan, the third brother of the Fang family, will never let Xu Yunfan go, and asks the patrolling censor to arrest the human trafficker Xu Yunfan.
A good prince was actually treated as a human trafficker. Xu Yunfan tutted and said, "What bad luck!"
Before he even went to visit the Yue family, he was already involved in a lawsuit.
"Let go of my brother-in-law, you bad guys, what are you doing with him?"
Qin Run and his brothers blocked Xu Yunfan's way, looking like they would rush forward to fight anyone who dared to grab Xu Yunfan.
Fang Peizhou said unhappily: "Husband?? You brother..." Not knowing whether the brother in front of him was deceived by Xu Yunfan like Fang Zixi, the harsh words came to his lips but he swallowed them back.
"Wow, wow, you bad guy, you're a bad guy." Xiaobao also started crying, his little nose twitching. He punched Fang Peizhou's calf with his fleshy fist and accused him, "You're the bad guy. You arrested Xiaobao's father. You're a bad guy, a bad guy! A big bad guy!"
"Bao'er, I'm your uncle! How can an uncle be a bad person?" Fang Peizhou picked up Xiaobao with heartache. He was hit by several punches from Xu Yunfan and was in pain all over. It would have been fine if the little guy didn't feel sorry for him, but he actually cried like this. Fang Peizhou was heartbroken.
Xiaobao pounded Fang Peizhou's chest, choking and repeating, "You let people arrest my father, you are a bad person, I don't want my father to be arrested, you beat my father, you are a bad person, I don't want you to hold me, I want my father, I want my daddy."
After saying that, Xiaobao reached out to Qin Run.
The Fang brothers only felt a loud thunder.
Why is their nephew like this?
They'd loved him for three years, yet they weren't even as good as a scumbag father? Now, he was even calling other brothers "Daddy"?
Where does this put their four brothers?
Qin Run understood the inexplicable hostility Fang Peizhou and his companions had towards Xu Yunfan after Fang Peizhou called him uncle.
"No, you misunderstood. My husband is not a human trafficker. Xiaobao was not abducted by him. He really wasn't."
After Qin Run said this, Xu Yunfan, who was confused and suddenly reacted after being beaten up and called a beast, felt so wronged.
Finally, under Xiaobao's crying and hiccups, the three Fang brothers dared not let Xu Yunfan be taken away.
Xu Yunfan and his group were reluctantly "invited" to the Fang family.
The three brothers of the Fang family had a fight with someone in the street. The news had already reached the Fang family, and Fang Zixi hurried over.
Fang Zixi looked very haggard as she stepped into the room. She hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time since her son disappeared. Whenever she closed her eyes, her son's sweet smile and her grandmother's eyes curved with admiration when she called him daddy would come into her mind one by one.
When Fang Zixi saw a child crying and coughing in the living room being held and comforted by a boy, her pupils shrank and she froze on the spot.
Is this scene real?
Or is it an illusion that he has been thinking about day and night?
But the noisy sound that came into his ears clearly told him that no, the child was not an illusion he had imagined, but a real person.
"Don't cry, Xiaobao. Big brother, my brother-in-law will protect us." Qin Mu was almost crying, but he was still strong and calm as he comforted Xiaobao.
Xiaobao cried until his nose turned red and bubbles came out of his nostrils. "They bullied my father. When I grow up, I will avenge my father."
For children, they also know how painful it would be to see their respected father being bullied in front of them.
Qin Run coaxed the child, "Okay, then don't cry, Xiaobao."
"Bao'er?" Fang Zixi staggered in, staring at the child in Qin Run's arms without blinking. When her eyes met Xiaobao's, Fang Zixi blinked, and the haziness in her eyes immediately dissipated.
"My child, my child!" Fang Zixi seemed to be crazy. She pounced and tried to take Xiaobao from Qin Run's arms. Qin Run was startled and hugged Xiaobao tightly with both hands. He was also frightened and burst into tears. "Let go, let go, you hurt Xiaobao."
"My child, give me back my child. This is my child, mine." Fang Zixi was so crazy that the expression on her face made even Xu Yunfan, an adult, feel a little creepy, not to mention the already frightened Xiaobao. Xiaobao was so scared that he kept shrinking into Qin Run's arms and crying. Qin An and Qin Mu didn't care about being afraid either. They used their arms to push Fang Zixi away and said, "Don't scare my nephew. Go away."
The scene was so noisy that Xu Yunfan was overwhelmed. He hurriedly separated Fang Zixi and said, "Young Master, calm down. Be careful not to scare the child."
Fang Peizhou and the other two probably didn't expect Fang Zixi to react so strongly. The children cried and shouted, and the three brothers were also shocked. Veins on their foreheads were throbbing. Fang Peihao grabbed Fang Zixi by the waist and hugged her away.
"ah……"
A shrill scream came from Fang Zixi's mouth. Fang Zixi struggled violently, constantly reaching out to Qin Run, begging hysterically: "Baoer, my child, I want my child, Third Brother, I want my child, that's my child, Baoer, I want my Baoer!"
Xu Yunfan turned his head to look at Xiaobao, who was huddled in Qin Run's arms in fear. Then he looked at the man who was obviously Xiaobao's biological father. He was overwhelmed. He couldn't force the little one, so he had to try to calm the big one down first. "Okay, okay, that's your Bao'er, that's your son. Brother, calm down first and let's have a good talk, okay? We just sent Bao'er back to you. Don't be anxious. You're so enthusiastic that you've scared the child. Listen to my advice. Let's calm down and talk to the child properly, okay? You've already scared Bao'er like this."
"Fourth brother, you scared the child like this. Don't worry, the brothers are here. Baoer is back, and no one can kidnap him again."
Ever since Fang Zixi gave birth to Baoer, Baoer has been his life. Now that Baoer is missing, Fang Zixi thinks about her day and night and is only one step away from going crazy.
Seeing Baoer's frightened look, and even not remembering their three uncles, Fang Peihong almost shed tears.
Fang Zixi wasn't truly mad; he had heard Xu Yunfan's words. From the moment he entered the hall, he had followed his master's instructions, focusing his gaze on the child the servant had pointed out, and therefore paid no extra attention to anyone else.
When Fang Zixi first saw Xu Yunfan, she suddenly felt like she was injected with a sedative and calmed down immediately.
Seeing that overly familiar face, Fang Zixi's head was like fireworks exploding all over the sky. He stared at Xu Yunfan with a burning gaze, as if he wanted to stare a hole through Xu Yunfan. He called out uncertainly, "Yun Zhuo?"
Xu Yunfan blinked: "...You seem to have made a mistake. My name is not Yun Zhuo, my name is..."
Before he could even introduce himself, Fang Zixi seemed to have just woken up from a dream and said with certainty, "You are not Yun Zhuo, who are you?"
"Fourth brother, isn't this pretty boy Yun Zhuo?" Fang Zihong was stunned. "Take a closer look. Isn't he the person in the portrait? Isn't he Bao'er's father, Yun Zhuo?"
Xu Yunfan choked, feeling vaguely offended.
It is true that the person in front of him is about 70% similar to Yun Zhuo, but he is not Yun Zhuo. Fang Zixi is absolutely sure of this. "Second brother, he is not Yun Zhuo. Yun Zhuo is not like this."
In Fang Zixi's memory, Yun Zhuo was gentle, steady and tolerant. He always had a soft, heart-beating smile on his face. Moreover, he gave her a completely different feeling from the person in front of her.
Fang Zixi pointed at Xu Yunfan's neck and said, "Yun Zhuo has a small black mole on his neck, but he doesn't have one."
Xu Yunfan: “…”
Brother, you have a great eye.
Xu Yunfan breathed a sigh of relief. On the way to Fang's house where he was "invited", he had declared countless times that he didn't know Fang Zixi at all, and he had never gotten anyone pregnant. However, no matter how much he proved himself, the three Fang brothers still looked at him with the same look, as if they wanted to eat him up and even wanted to break his third leg.
"Listen, I told you I'm not Yun Zhuo, and I don't even know your fourth brother, but you refused to believe me. The world is truly changing, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be. I'm so handsome, how could I possibly do something so shameful? You three really need to clean your eyes."
