Sima Xi's investigation went smoothly, all because of Fu Hongda's efforts behind the scenes.

Fu Hongda believed that victory was within his grasp as he burned down the second room and destroyed the main house. The entire Fu Mansion had basically become his words.

Only the third house was in the way.

Veins popped out from Old Master Fu's forehead as he glared viciously at Fu Hongda.

When Fu Hongda saw this, his eyes narrowed as well. "It seems that father does not wish to have his son serve you. Tell me, where did your son not serve you well?"

Old Master Fu did not speak. In fact, he had been unable to speak since he had awoken. He could not move his limbs either. The person in front of him had somehow controlled him.

"Looks like father really hates his son, since he doesn't even want to talk about anything with him. So, who do you want to talk to?" Your son is calling for you? "

Old Master Fu glared at him even more angrily.

"Big brother? Second brother? But as for my second brother, I'm afraid that it won't be easy for him. Father must have heard that two days ago, there was water in the manor, and the fire burned my second brother to death. But Father, guess what? The one who set the fire was my eldest brother! Who do you think knows that the person who hates second brother the most in this house is my eldest brother? "If Father wants to see him, he will have to wait for a while longer. Once we have our heads beheaded at the entrance to the market, he will definitely take care of the best inn on the street so that Father can see everything clearly."

Old Master Fu's raging anger was all stuck in his head, and his nostrils were bulging. Fu Hongda found it interesting, so he got up and threw the handkerchief into the basin. The splash of water wetted half of Old Master Fu's face.

As he looked at the old man's bedraggled appearance, Fu Hongda called out to the people outside the door, "Servants."

Soon Aphrodite came in.

"Wipe the old man properly and clean him up. The old man will probably have to lie on his bed for the rest of his days. The more comfortable he is, the better."

After listening to the first half of the sentence, Ah Fu was still fine. However, when he heard the second half, he was greatly shocked.

Fu Hongda left as soon as he finished instructing, while Ah Fu entered the inner room. When he saw Old Master Fu's furious yet helpless appearance, he silently sighed.

Ah Fu went to wring out the handkerchief and carefully wiped the water off the old man's face. He looked outside and confirmed that no one had come in, then he whispered, "When things are not desperate, there might be a chance. The Old Master wants to know this more clearly than a nobody like me."

Old Man Fu froze for a moment, then fiercely looked at Ah Fu.

Ah Fu smiled at the old man and leaned over to whisper into his ear. Whisper.

… ….

Sima Xi's movements were very quick. Together with the efforts of Fu Hongda behind his back, the past affairs of Fu Hongwu had already been investigated in just a few days.

Having assembled the evidence, Marcy began to hurry to the capital.

Right now, the emperor was very ill and the government was divided into the crown prince, the seventh prince, and the cabinet. Sima Xi was very clear that as long as he successfully left the region of the Azure Province, his report would definitely appear on the cabinet table.

By then, Fu Hong's meeting would be truly over.

Fu Honghong was under house arrest, but he was not a prisoner, at least not on the surface. As a result, he still had the right to see his loved ones.

Sima Xi would ask about Fu Hongwu every day. He had to know who Fu Hongmei had met, how long he had seen him, and how his expression changed when the guests came in and out.

Sima Xi did his best to monitor Fu Hongwu, controlling him completely. However, this kind of blatant spying was clearly unacceptable to Fu Hongwu.

After two blunt reprimands, Fu knew that the matter could no longer be put off.

Once again, the meeting with his wife ended, and Fu Hongwu sent the Su Clan to the door. The Su Clan looked at their husband with a worried expression, then pinched a handkerchief and said, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of my family."

Fu Hongwu patted Su Shi's shoulder and said in a very soft voice, "With you here, I will naturally be at ease."

"Then I'll come see you tomorrow."

Fu Hong nodded his head and hugged the person. Then, under the gazes of the six yamen runners standing guard outside the door, he sent the Su Clan off with his eyes.

This was a similar meeting as before. Fu's Family Lord was temporarily staying at the yamen, and he was worried about giving away his wife. He had already been here for three days.

The yamen runner was already numb to it and did not specifically report this. He did not know that the Su Clan had left the yamen and did not immediately return to the courtyard. Instead, he turned around to avoid the passersby.

It was simply too eye-catching for the wife of a wealthy family, a woman who was at odds with the ladies of the market, to appear in such a place like this.

The Su Clan didn't loiter around the main street. While guarding against being followed, they carefully took a detour to the distant street. In the end, they entered the most famous gold selling area in Lianlian Alleyway--A Dot of Red.

The Su Clan went to the back door, and knocked three times, then twice, then once again, according to the signal Fu Honghong gave them.

After knocking for the last time, the small wooden door was opened by someone. A middle-aged man with the appearance of a turtle lowered his head and gestured for the Su Clan to enter.

The Su Clan had never seen this person before, so they cautiously said, "I'm here to look for … …"

"Come in."

The other party's suspicious actions caused the Su Clan to be worried, but the Su Clan still remembered their purpose in coming here. Therefore, they did not dare hesitate and still walked in.

Once the Su Clan entered, that turtle Gong stuck his head out and looked around to the left and right to ensure that the Su Clan wasn't followed. Only then did he close the back door and bring the Su Clan to the front courtyard.

The Su Clan followed them the entire way, and the two of them walked for around 15 minutes before finally stopping in front of a small courtyard.

The moment they entered the courtyard, the Su Clan saw a familiar figure. She was stunned for a moment before stopping in her tracks.

Xudong was currently drinking tea in the courtyard. Hearing the commotion outside, she raised her eyes and met the Su Clan's gaze. She first stood up and said, "Greetings Madam."

Su Shi stared at her, her gaze tight, and her expression instantly became ugly. "It's you? I knew it. How could he bear to let you go?
