Crown Jewels

Chapter 230

"The place where you found Miss Shen before, can you take me there to have a look?"

Fu Sinian fell silent when he heard the words, and withdrew his reluctant gaze towards the official, and when he turned his head to look at Qi Yuan, he looked at Qi Yuan with scrutiny, without agreeing or vetoing.

"What is the relationship between the head of the mountain... and Miss Shen?"

Everything up to this point was witnessed by Fu Sinian, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the anomaly, and no one could be fooled by a few words.

Qi Yuan's eyes paused, and his eyes fell on Fu Sinian, who was vigilant and guarded like a wolf cub. He felt a little helpless in surprise, and he patted the young man's back to signal him to relax. Fu Sinian's state at this time was worrying. , his whole body is like a string that is tense and ready to go. These days when he entered Jinyiwei, he is completely different from the big boy with a hearty grin.

"The head of the mountain dedicated half of his life to Huaigu Academy, and he only loved one woman in his life. Miss Shen, she should be the head of the mountain's own daughter—"

The guess in his heart was confirmed by Qi Yuan, and the sound of cracking bones followed Fu Sinian's clenched fist. The boy's serious vigilance paused and his eyes showed a daze. Warning, and Shen Lanqing who came out of the mountain chief's house in the afternoon that day was extremely fragile.

It turns out...Miss Shen is actually the daughter of the head of the mountain.

Regarding this matter, Qi Yuan did not intend to hide it from Fu Sinian. He could see that Fu Sinian could not hurt Shen Lanqing. Now Lu Jiuxi took Shen Lanqing to Jiangnan and told him that he could let go of his worries and not do anything stupid. .

In the puddles, the rain scrambled to leap into the water, causing ripples in the dark night.

Fu Sinian raised his eyes, looked at Qi Yuan who was quietly waiting for him immersed in the deep night, and pointed towards the dense forest, his eyes showed a little apology.

"Sorry Chief, I'm tired—"

"That place..." Fu Sinian's tone paused slightly, his tongue pressed against his back teeth and he remained silent for a moment, "You only need to enter the dense forest and find a clearing with a big banyan tree, and the head of the house will go by himself, please forgive me." Si Nian can't accompany you, so go back home first."

Although he was surprised by Fu Sinian's refusal, Qi Yuan nodded understandingly, without any anger or unwillingness, but the gaze he looked at the young man unconsciously brought out worry and inquiry.

Today's incident, the head of the mountain took Miss Shen away, but the matter was far from over. Does Fu Sinian have any clues about that abrupt Miss Shen's beast?Thinking of this, Qi Yuan's peach blossom eyes flashed and he was very serious, but he didn't force Fu Sinian.

"Alright, the road is slippery in rainy days, you go back and take a good rest—"

"However..." Qi Yuan paused slightly, still a little worried. "Dali Temple will not intervene in Miss Shen's matter, but Qi will investigate thoroughly. Such a beast will inevitably cause other troubles, and Dali Temple will not let him get away with it."

Qi Yuan patted Fu Sinian on the shoulder, "Promise me that if you have any clues, you will definitely tell me."

"You are young and have a bright future, don't do anything stupid—"

The word 'foolish' was especially emphasized by Qi Yuan. Fu Sinian trembled while holding the handle of the Xiuchun knife, but when he met Qi Yuan's gaze, he nodded at him with a calm expression, signaling Qi Yuan to remember the words himself. In his mind, the young man didn't hesitate anymore, got on his horse and bid farewell to Qi Yuan, and disappeared into the rain again along the previous official road.

The horse's hooves stepped on the official road, and the back of the young man whipping the horse disappeared at the end of the road. Qi Yuan stared at the back. Fu Sinian's perfunctory attitude made him feel more and more uneasy. In the end, the man's voice was hoarse but clear. It came from the rain, vaguely audible.

"Follow him, and if you enter Lin'an City and haven't returned to Fu Mansion, you can report to me at any time..."

The sound of horseshoes pierced through the alleys, passed through the gate of the night watch, and stopped firmly at the archway where Fu's carriage was hung.

There was a hasty knock on the door, and the old man at the door, wearing a straw hat, opened the side door in a panic, and saw Fu Sinian, who was drowned in the rain at night, and with the dim candle in his hand, he finally had a clear look at his young master's face, Shocked, he hurriedly greeted Fu Sinian back home, and put the straw hat on Fu Sinian's head, his heartache and worry could not be concealed.

With his return, the originally dim mansion was instantly brightly lit.

But Fu Sinian seemed to have lost his soul, and stood quietly at the door for a long while, until he noticed that behind Fu's mansion, the servant of the Dali Temple who came with him left at ease, and then stepped back to his courtyard.

The warm yellow candlelight in the room can disperse the darkness and coldness in people's hearts. Under the candlelight in front of the square table, the stern-faced Master Fu and the gentle and chaste Mrs. Fu who are sitting on the bed are waiting in the courtyard. Fu Sinian's embarrassing figure approached from afar, all of them frowned subconsciously.

"Bastard—"

"It's raining so hard, why don't you stay at the mansion well, why are you always running outside? I don't believe you can't notice the tense situation in Lin'an City when you're in Jinyiwei. You're getting drenched like this, and your mother is just worried."

Master Fu's face was serious, seeing Fu Sinian's appearance under the lamp was full of worries deep in his eyes, but he still held on to his face and kept the majesty of a father, his words were soft-hearted and hard-spoken, but his body had already moved forward honestly , and handed him a clean and warm cloak.

Out of the corner of the eye, she caught a glimpse of Mrs. Fu who was about to get up with her belly puffed out, and Master Fu hurried over to help her. Seeing the pregnant belly that the loose shirt and skirt couldn't hide, he couldn't hide the panic in his eyes.

Mrs. Fu glared at him angrily, her complaint could not be concealed in her tone.

"It's so easy for my son to come back this time. Don't want to dump your authority as Master Fu in front of our mother and son."

His wife's ruthlessness made Master Fu choke slightly, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart, but when he saw the pregnant belly of the person next to his pillow striding forward with difficulty, the dissatisfaction in Master Fu's heart dissipated in an instant. When looking at Mrs. Fu, he squeezed his wife's hand aggrieved.

Mrs. Fu had a headache, and there was a fuss in her stomach, and her eldest son who was not worried when he came back from the outside, his clothes were covered with water stains, and if his pale and black lips were infected with the wind and cold, she would have to worry about it. Now this pillow The bad old man who is the culprit next to him still needs to be coaxed by himself with a big belly, she... what kind of worries is she all doing.

After finally comforting the old man, Mrs. Fu hurriedly shook off the master's hand, walked up to Fu Sinian with her waist, took the handkerchief handed over by the servant, and wiped the water stains on his forehead in distress.

Maybe it's because the night wind outside is a bit cold, or maybe he wakes up in the middle of the night and is out of energy, and the torturer in his stomach starts to make noise again. During the kicking, Mrs. Fu's legs and feet go limp while wiping the water drops, but fortunately, Fu Sinian quickly supports her. No matter what to say all at once, Master Fu will not let her act rashly again.

"I said... the doctor has said that you are going to give birth in a few days, why don't you give me a better life—"

With the sudden kicking and Mr. Fu's caring accusations, Mrs. Fu held Mr. Fu's hand tightly. After a long while, she finally regained her composure and sat obediently on the bed, beckoning to Fu Sinian. Luo Luo's belly was propped up by his clothes, and his eyes were extremely gentle.

"Who said this is making a fuss, it's our little monkey who knows his brother is back, it's a welcome for his brother!"

Seeing Mrs. Fu who was still sophistrying at this time, the corners of Master Fu's mouth twitched, he didn't want to argue with him, but he dragged Fu Sinian back to the bed in a cooperative manner, obeying the wishes of the person next to the pillow.
