Chapter 50: Friend and Foe
Li Yu was a little nervous when she heard her husband ask this, she was a little emotional today, and she wasn't sure if anyone else had heard her talking to the children.
"Yun, I'm a little emotional today, because, I, I really can't control my heart at that time. I told Lan'er and them, but they didn't believe what I said, thinking that I missed it too much. After Li Yu finished speaking, he observed his husband's expression and saw that he was a little displeased.
"Lan'er is very smart, and she can also observe and think. Since you have already said this, when I confirm the identity of the child, call both children here, and we will explain it to them. Wei Muyun said with a helpless sigh.
He understood his wife's reaction at the time, but if someone else heard her, he was afraid that he would cause some trouble for himself.
"Yun, I'm sorry, I still can't control my emotions well." Li Yu looked at her husband apologetically, feeling that she was really useless.
"No, I understand you. Okay, you go and rest first, and I'll arrange it. Wei Muyun took his wife's hand, patted the back of her hand, and told her that he didn't mean to blame her.
Li Yu nodded, and she went back to their room alone.
Lin Fuzhong.
"Ruochen, you said that Tu Yu asked you to help her check someone, right?" Lin Zhenwei looked at his son with concern, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Well, but the kid didn't find anything. She only said that the person's name was Mama Xu, and she didn't know the specific name, age, or where she lived. The only Fang family who knew some of the situation could not be found. Lin Ruochen looked at his father, not knowing why his father suddenly asked about it.
Could it be that he thinks there is something wrong with Tu Yu's background?
"Okay, I see, you can go back. The person she asked you to check, don't check it first, I'll investigate this matter. Lin Zhenwei looked at his son with a very serious expression and said.
Lin Ruochen nodded, and then exited his father's study.
He wondered why his father had said this.
Lin Zhenwei pondered on the side of the bookcase, and then, a carrier pigeon flew in.
When he saw the pigeon, he knew who it was.
It's been 10 years and this is the first time they've used this pigeon.
The pigeon didn't have any note on it, but he knew what the visitor was going to tell him.
He stained one of the pigeon's feet with ink and released it.
After the pigeon left, he pushed open the bookcase behind him and entered the secret passage inside to the "old place".
This secret passage is known only to him and that person, and unless it is an extraordinary situation, they will not use this secret passage to meet.
After walking for less than half an hour, he arrived at the place where he had made an appointment.
"What is her relationship with your family?" Lin Zhenwei stood behind him and asked.
"I'm not sure, she might be one of my lost daughters. My wife threw away a daughter six years ago because, I said, the child was a scourge that killed her brother. Wei Muyun sighed.
"There is such a thing! How can you be sure if she's your daughter? Lin Zhenwei looked at him in surprise, he didn't expect it to be his friend's daughter. What a entanglement this is!
In order to prevent that person from being a mustard for them, they don't be friends or enemies in front of others.
Just to protect the safety of their respective families.
However, I didn't expect them to be involved. If that person knows that they are in-laws, such a marriage will make him unfavorable to them.
He is a talent for love, but his heart is very small.
"After you go back, go and find out the child's tone and whether she knows Mama Xu. That person was my wife's nurse, and she was the one who handled the child. If so, Tu Yu is really my daughter, she must know Mama Xu.
Before Mama Xu passed away, she insisted on going to see the child every month for the past few years. Wei Muyun said.
For the deceased Mama Xu, he has a lot of respect in his heart.
Because of his momentary blindness, his flesh and blood left his side.
He felt guilty and blamed himself.
When Lin Zhenwei heard him say that, a wry smile appeared on his face.
"It's all providence! Brother Muyun, that child should be your daughter. She also asked Chen'er to help her find her Mama Xu, saying that she was the only relative. We are so careful, but it is still the current situation. Lin Zhenwei sighed.
Back then, he was just a poor boy from a middle-of-the-road family, and he met Wei Muyun by chance.
He was behind the gate and did not look down on him. After becoming friends with him, I helped him a lot.
He had the opportunity to shine on the lintel again and achieved today's results.
However, at a palace banquet, they discovered the fact that the emperor could not tolerate them as friends.
In order to protect themselves, they deliberately caused them to look at discord in the court.
The emperor slowly reassured and wary of them, and their official positions and lives were preserved.
"Sure enough, it's true." Wei Muyun also sighed lightly.
"Brother Muyun, you didn't plan to recognize each other, did you?" If Lin Zhenwei guessed correctly, his friends would contact him, then he didn't want to recognize the child. At least for now.
"Brother Zhenwei, who knows my heart, is also! Yes, I really can't recognize the kid right now. I hope you don't tell this secret either. Also, find a chance for her to leave the Lin Mansion.
I'm worried that she's not revealing her background, now is not the time. Wei Muyun said worriedly.
"I understand, fortunately, she is still young and has not really married Chen'er. However, after she leaves the Lin Mansion, how are you going to arrange it? Now that she's only six years old, why don't you wait for her to be a little older? Lin Zhenwei was a little unbearable, he had a good impression of that child in his heart.
Now that I know that it is my friend's daughter, I am actually very happy in my heart.
They won't always be like this, and when they are fuller and the situation will change, they will naturally be able to be friends openly.
It takes an opportunity to change.
"Well, because it happened suddenly, I need to think about it. I already owed a debt to that child, so naturally I wouldn't let her suffer anymore. Today's actions of my wife, I don't know what the emperor will suspect.
We need to do something to dispel the speculation in his mind. Wei Muyun said.
"Yes, when the emperor left today, it was not easy to look at Tu Yu and your eyes. Tonight, he probably won't sleep well, and he will have someone to investigate. Lin Zhenwei said.
"It's really troublesome, my wife is also too emotional today, I'm worried that what she said to my daughters will be heard by someone who cares and spread it to the emperor's ears." Wei Muyun said.
"It seems that I need to be wronged by my sister-in-law." Lin Zhenwei thought for a while, and said with a little embarrassment, he felt that there was only that way.
"What do you mean?" Wei Muyun looked at him with a frown and asked. He knew that this friend was a resourceful person, and the solution he thought of must be the most feasible. However, his look made him feel uneasy.
