Chapter 24: Surrender
Xiang Wentian is haunted by these disasters that have befallen his family.
In the final analysis, the Xiang family was the object of being thrown away after being used miserably, if it weren't for the old lady Xiang who was smart and fought a bloody way, where would there be Xiang Jia now?
The Sheng family doesn't take human life as their life too much, and even their allies can kill them without hesitation.
A jujube tree in the yard was blown by the wind, Zhu Yuan knew that Xiang Wentian was too nervous, so he sat in the rocking chair and shook his head a few times and looked at him to reassure: "Don't worry, people like them only believe in themselves and never trust others anymore." β
It's the same even if it's your own children.
If the matter of the year was revealed, it would be enough to make Chang Ying and Sheng Ge Lao doom, such a big matter, they would not be at ease if they let the other party do it alone, for fear that the other party would use it as a handle in private as a weapon to attack them in the future.
Xiang Wentian somewhat understood what Zhu Yuan meant, blinked his eyes and was about to speak, when he heard the courtyard door ring again, and couldn't help but glance at Zhu Yuan.
This house was purchased after they entered Beijing, the location was very particular, and the neighborhood relationship had been sorted out, and they only said that they had come to the capital to do business and married a wife here.
At this time, there are many unrefined merchants who marry equal wives or concubines at the foot of the line, commonly known as the two big heads, and no one cares, it is already a common thing, as soon as they say this, the neighbors will understand, and when they see that the door of the courtyard is closed, they just smile and shake their heads tacitly.
This means that no one else knows about this place except their own people, but now that their own people are already here, who else is here?
Xiang Wentian raised his vigilance, and immediately dodged behind the door and asked in a hoarse voice who it was, and his two hands had already raised the knife.
After a while, a familiar cough sounded outside the door, and someone outside whispered, "It's me, open the door." β
Xiang Wentian's eyes widened, almost suspecting that he had heard it wrong, and glanced back at Zhu Yuan before asking again: "Who are you?" β
"Nonsense!" The person outside snorted impatiently: "What's the matter with you kid?" Can't even hear Lao Tzu's voice? β
Xiang Wentian didn't care about being scolded, the whole person was happy, opened the door happily, and shouted with red eyes: "Big brother!" β
Yang Yuqing had also heard the movement, and after seeing the people clearly, he was also surprised and delighted: "Big brother, why are you back?!" He saw Qi Ying following Yang Airan at a glance, and couldn't help touching Qi Ying's head again: "The little girl is also back!" That's great! β
The sun is about to set, the clouds on the horizon are thick like ink, faintly green and green, magnificent as if it is a painting, Yang Airan was in a hurry, but when he saw Zhu Yuan, he only felt relieved, and fell to the ground on his knees without hesitation.
Zhu Yuan immediately stood up and took a few steps to help him up: "This gift is too heavy, why bother!" β
Qi Ying had already knelt down with her uncle, and said to Zhu Yuan with tears in her eyes: "Uncle said, you saved us, so that the grievances of my grandfather's family can be avenged, and we can live in this world with dignity from now on. β
Yang Yuqing and Xiang Wentian were a little dazed.
Isn't this already in the past when I was in Qingzhou? Why did Yang Airan kneel again?
They hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhu Yuan help Yang Airan and Qi Ying up.
Yang Airan refused, he knelt straight in front of Zhu Yuan: "Miss Zhu, I abandoned my fame and went up the mountain and fell into the grass, and I was already prepared for the worst, but fortunately, you appeared halfway through, cleared our family's grievances, and now pointed me out a clear way." β
Zhu Yuan's eyes changed, and he looked at Yang Airan fixedly for a moment before asking him: "You went to Zhejiang and found the person I said?" β
Yang Airan pursed her lips, her eyes flashing with joy: "Yes!" Don't hide it, girl, we found it! β
Su Fushi, who had just gone out, stood a little dazed, seeing Zhu Yuan's expression a little excited, she couldn't help but be surprised again, the Zhu Yuan she saw had always been calm and calm, and she had never been so happy, what kind of amazing news could make her so excited?
Green Yi also followed behind Su Fu's back and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, the girl is so happy?" β
Yang Airan had already stood up under Zhu Yuan's signal, he was full of energy, although he looked dusty, but his spirit was excellent, and he said to Zhu Yuan with a smile: "Girl, Master Fu has agreed to recruit me into his command!" β
Master Fu?!
Su Fu was stunned, looked at Zhu Yuan and Yang Airan not far away in disbelief, was a little shocked and couldn't help but pull up the hem of his skirt and quickly descend the steps, and asked them, "What Lord Fu?" What are you talking about? β
Yang Airan had never seen Su Fu's family, so she glanced at Zhu Yuan in surprise, Zhu Yuan briefly introduced Su Fu's identity, and then asked him: "How is the Fu family now?" β
"From the officer to the general soldier, he has made many miraculous achievements over the years, as the girl said, he is a very brave general...... But......" Yang Airan scratched her head: "But it's always a little bad luck." β
He sighed and felt very sorry: "Actually, every time Master Fu fights, he is very powerful, but he lacks a little luck, and he always encounters some accidents......"
So much so that he has never been promoted, and he is always hovering in the position of the chief soldier.
Zhu Yuan laughed.
It's not bad luck, of course, he can't be promoted just because the way to burn incense is wrong, you must know that the governor of Zhejiang is the proud protΓ©gΓ© of Sheng Ge, his proud protΓ©gΓ©, how can he let the people of the Fu family really get promoted and make a fortune?
Su Fu was confused, and she grabbed Zhu Yuan's hand with some excitement: "Yuan Yuan, what's going on?!" Which Fu family is he talking about? It's really ......"
Zhu Yuan nodded, and when he saw Su Fu's tears falling, he smiled and held her and shook his head: "Auntie, now is not the time to be sad, you should be happy to find your grandfather and uncle." β
After so many years, there has been no news, and now that there is finally news, it is a great luck to be sure that they are okay.
Su Fushi kept nodding, but he still couldn't help choking: "Since my father and they have always been in Zhejiang, why don't they send us a letter?" Even my sister...... None of them showed up? β
Yang Airan stopped talking.
Wait a minute......
Fu Jia......
Is Zhu Yuan's mother surnamed Fu?
Could it be that Zhu Yuan asked him to defect this time....... Is it her maternal grandfather?!
Then why didn't Zhu Yuan reveal a word to him about the Fu family's relationship with her before letting him go?!
