"Nanxi, Master Xie is not someone we can covet. Don't worry, when the time comes, mother will find you a good marriage."
Fu Nanxi grumbled, somewhat unconvinced, "Then why can Ning Yu..."
Mrs. Fu gave her a warning look, "Don't think of any more evil ideas. You are the daughter of the Fu family, how can you do such a shameless thing? If you had her enchanting face..."
Old Mrs. Fu was worried that Fu Nanxi had gone astray, and even brought up Ning Yu's appearance.
When Fu Nanxi heard this, her eyes suddenly became red and swollen, and she felt even more disgusted with Ning Yu.
Ning Yu is just a widow, why should she serve Master Xie?
Is it because of her face?
Fu Nanxi was so angry that he ran away.
Soon, a tall and thin figure walked in and bowed to Old Madam Fu, "Yier greets mother."
When Mrs. Fu saw Fu Yi coming, a loving smile appeared on her face, "Yier, why did you get out of school so early? Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired."
Fu Yi shook his head and finally asked the question after holding it in for a long time.
"Yier has something I want to ask mother. Why did you send my sister-in-law to sleep on Lord Xie's bed? Although my sister-in-law is as beautiful as a fairy, everyone in the capital knows that Lord Xie is pure and unselfish. I'm afraid he wouldn't touch my sister-in-law."
Old Madam Fu smiled slightly, a sly glint in her eyes. "As long as she and Master Xie have physical contact, it's fine."
"Your elder brother was once a subordinate of Lord Xie and saved Lord Xie's life. As long as we help him, Lord Xie will definitely take Ning Yu into his palace out of this favor."
Fu Yi knew that Old Madam Fu did this for the Fu family and for him, so he pursed his lips.
"What if outsiders find out about this? My sister-in-law has already attempted suicide once..."
"Ning Yu's sister is still in our hands, there's no need to worry."
Old Mrs. Fu was confident.

Since the death of Young Master Fu, the Fu Mansion has been deserted. It happened to be Old Madam Fu’s 50th birthday, so a grand banquet was held.
With the arrival of distinguished guests, the whole house was busy like a top.
main hall.
Mrs. Fu and the others looked around until a young servant walked in quickly with a smile on his face, "Thank you, sir, for coming!"
Before Mrs. Fu and the others could go to greet them, a man in a crescent-colored robe walked in.
I saw that he had a back as strong as a bamboo, a clear mind and delicate bones, a high nose bridge, and thin lips that were slightly pursed. He exuded a cold and aloof aura that made people feel intimidated.
Mrs. Fu hurried over and said respectfully, "I greet Mr. Xie."
After that, he pulled out Fu Heng and Fu Nanxi and introduced them.
Fu Heng and Fu Nanxi followed suit and saluted.
Xie Huai's eyes darted around, his brows knitted slightly, and his voice was cold, "Where is Fu Hengze's wife?"
Mrs. Fu's face froze for a moment, but she quickly calmed down and sighed softly, "Master Xie, you don't know that Ning has been immersed in the pain of Ze'er's death. She has been crying all day and her eyes are almost blind. I asked her to stay in the yard to recuperate."
Xie Huai didn't think much of it. He condescended to attend the Fu family's old lady's birthday celebration because Fu Hengze had once taken the blame for him. It was also a way of looking after the Fu family.
They clinked glasses and toasted each other.
By the time the party was over, it was already late at night.
Old Mrs. Fu warmly invited me to stay at the Fu Mansion for one night.
Xie Huai nodded slowly.

Nanny Fu threw a servant's clothes onto Ning Yu and said gruffly, "Hurry up and put these on. Don't waste time."
Ning Yu lowered her eyelids and bit her lip, "...I understand."
Seeing Ning Yu's humiliated look, Nanny Fu couldn't help but make a few more sarcastic remarks.
Ning Yu, however, stood there like a piece of wood, not fighting back, as if she was still the cowardly and incompetent woman.
Ning Yu changed her clothes quickly. Because the fabric was made of cotton and linen, it was a bit rough, and it made Ning Yu's skin slightly red and itchy.
The night enveloped the Fu Mansion in pitch black.
As she walked along, Ning Yu kept her head down, as if she was afraid that others would see her face clearly.
After a moment, Nanny Fu stopped and handed Ning Yu the hangover soup that had been prepared long ago, lowering her voice.
"The room in front is Master Xie's. Madam, please shut up and don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, Madam's sister..."
Ning Yu bit her lip and nodded.
Ning Yu stood in front of the door for a while with the hangover soup in his hand, took a deep breath, and then slowly pushed the door open and walked in.
The candlelight flickered and was hazy.
The man leaned back on the bed with his eyes closed.
Her black hair was disheveled, with a few strands sticking to her forehead. Her thin lips were tightly pursed. Although she looked a little disheveled, her grace remained undiminished.
