Chapter Twenty-Three: Coming Back
Fu Mingyuan took a sip of tea, and seemed to listen to the question of the old lady of the Chen family in the seat above him very seriously, groping for the subtle movements of the teacup base, and Mu You, who was standing on the side, looked very real, and the son was obviously distracted.
"Last time Fu Gongzi visited, the old man didn't have the opportunity to see this side because he was unwell, and I have to see ...... today" The old lady of the Chen family was looking at the person on the lower right with a smile on her face, "It's really a handsome son." The kind and kind face did not lose any sense of proportion because of this sentence, and the old man would be more concerned.
Fu Mingyuan's cold expression was a little softer at this time because of the etiquette, and he replied: "The old lady takes care of her health. However, the movements in his hands were interrupted, and the thoughts in his heart began to surge, and gradually some uneasiness was brewing in them.
"Old lady, this son of the Fu family and Zhijin are really a good match." As soon as these words came out, the voices of the four sides gradually became clear, but Fu Mingyuan's face was a little cold, and his white fingertips seemed to indicate something......
"Zhijin, this child is gentle, but she is too quiet, and she has never heard about this from her mouth all these years...... Marriage, huh? The old lady's tone was a little sweet, and she said this to the person who had just spoken, the person who had just spoken...... She is the biological mother of Miss Chen.
"Zhijin understands a woman's reserve, and she shouldn't bring it up herself." Mrs. Chen glanced at the other side as if unintentionally, Fu Mingyuan took another sip of tea, but his head was lowered but he couldn't see his expression clearly. "No, Fu Gongzi should have come today to express something." The next passage made the contemplative man nod, and it stands to reason that he had come here to express something.
But...... He doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, watching the things that the people around him have experienced once, there is always some flesh and blood hidden.
And the uneasiness in his heart is getting stronger and stronger, Fuzhong ...... Mingran that kid......
"I came here today to specially invite Miss Chen to participate in this year's flower party with Zaixia." Fu Mingyuan got up and saluted, Mu You behind him took out something in his arms for a moment, and put his hand down calmly on the surface, Childe was already ...... The change was decided.
"This ......" Mrs. Chen looked at the people in the upper position, as if she wanted to get a signal, things were a little different from what they expected! The old lady on the seat nodded without a trace, and Fu Mingyuan was still standing with a cold expression.
"The flower party is a festival for you young people, and if Zhijin is with you, he should agree." The old lady looked at the person standing up with a smile, what was already being predicted in those cloudy but shrewd eyes, Mu You felt that the atmosphere of the scene was a little stiff, and the people in the Chen Mansion seemed to be unable to wait, but the eldest lady of the Chen family never showed up.
"Then Ming Yuan retired first." Fu Mingyuan saluted directly and turned around, his movements were very crisp, and Mu You, who followed behind him, also followed with steps, why did the boy suddenly change his mind...... It's just that this flower party is not something that ordinary men and women can walk together. Most men and women who are engaged to marry can see each other on this day.
When he walked out of the hall, Mu You's originally consistent footsteps slowed down, and I don't know if Gongzi noticed that the other lady sitting next to Mrs. Chen had been looking at Gongzi with a rather strange expression. As he passed, he could clearly see that the man's eyes seemed to be filled with tears.
Leaving behind a group of people, Fu Mingyuan's footsteps after stepping out of the hall seemed a little anxious, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, maybe something was really wrong.
"Go back to Fu's mansion." After leaving this sentence, the person had already gotten into the carriage, and Mu Yougang swallowed back what he wanted to say to the coachman, didn't the prince tell him earlier to go to see the situation of the restaurant before returning home? What's wrong with today's childe......
"According to what Childe said." Mu You was confused, and went straight to the wheel, he didn't sort out the matter with the Chen Mansion today, and he didn't know how the son would explain to the head of the family, and to be honest, the one in front of him was indeed the best candidate.
According to the business relationship that the Fu Mansion and the Chen family have always maintained, and the son also went to the same private school with Miss Chen when he was a child, but later they grew up and gradually became estranged. When he was a scholar, he also met the eldest lady of the Chen family, and her talent and appearance were not inferior to those prestigious aristocratic ladies in the capital.
The faces of the people in the car who appeared faintly in the light and dark light were clouded, and Fu Mingyuan suddenly remembered the jade pendant on Mingran's neck, the purpose of the third lady should not be because she believed in Mingran's identity...... It was the last straw in her lonely life.
It's a pity that this straw did not reach her hopes, after the head of the family indulged in Buddhist scriptures, the third lady's condition became more and more serious from the original signs of improvement.
The whereabouts of Imperial Physician Ning...... A clue has been found.
Fu Mingran waited at the post station in the suburbs, glanced at the people who came over, and lowered his head silently, Chu Feiyu handed over another package, and held two steaming steamed buns in his hands, and also glanced at the people around him, and then seemed to be waiting for the arrival of the vehicle.
Fu Mingran suddenly blushed, but her head still didn't rise, and the cry of hunger didn't seem to attract the attention of the people around her...... The car is coming.
"You can take these two steamed buns, Uncle Zhuang will be responsible for sending you out of the city......" Fu Mingran looked at the two snow-white steamed buns handed over, and smiled slightly, the young man's face seemed to smile again for the first time, Chu Feiyu suddenly raised his hand and touched the head of the person in front of him, with a rare kind of care.
The person who jumped off the wheel of the "childe" immediately saluted respectfully, and the person who came was about forty or so, and there seemed to be an inconspicuous scar at the corner of his eye, but his gaze was very gentle, which was somewhat inconsistent with his tall figure.
Fu Mingran took the two steamed buns, and swept them lightly, you can keep one for dinner. I was a little puzzled by Chu Feiyu's next actions next to him, when this person would have such intimate contact with others.
"If it's hard outside, you can leave a note in the old place, and I'll help." Chu Feiyu hugged the person who was more than a head lower than him, and touched her black hair with intimacy that she had never had before. Fu Mingran's eyes flashed because of the familiar action in his memory, but he didn't say anything after all.
The moment she sat in the carriage, her steps were not as relaxed as she imagined, what she thought she could put down...... Each one of them weighed down like a boulder in my heart.
She was the only one in the car......
"Childe" Fu Mingyuan got out of the car and entered the door, with a swirling wind, the guards outside the door had not yet straightened their waists, and the people were already in the distance. Mu You, who followed, was also in an impatient mood, could it be that something had happened in the house......
Fu Mingyuan's face was covered with a thin layer of ice, and the cold air between his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be entangled, but he didn't realize it himself, and his pursed lips also showed another meaning. The uneasiness in my heart gradually turned to panic as I got closer and closer to Mingran's room.
"Childe" Xiao Nian just tidied up the room and went out, and when he turned around, he saw Fu Mingyuan who walked straight into the door, and saluted. The expression of bowing her head instantly turned to composure, and she was still able to buy some time.
Fu Mingyuan paused, looking at the untouched furnishings in the room, the ice on his face melted a little, but his eyes suddenly fell on the wardrobe, as if he could see clearly whether it explained the situation......
"Where is the second son?" He followed his line of sight, and the hands of the person who was still with his head down on his waist clenched unconsciously, the eldest prince was supposed to return to the house at dusk, why was it early......
The house was so quiet that even the sound of birds flying over outside could be heard, Xiao Nian boldly looked up at the back of the eldest son, and it was very cold, probably because the son already knew. A look of worry began to appear on his face.
The moment Fu Mingyuan opened the wardrobe, there was no other expression on his gloomy face except for a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, he just wanted to prove something in person...... However, there were only two sets of clothes missing from the closet, but that's why he wanted to laugh...... If this kid runs away from home, he should bring enough things with him.
Fingers swiped over the delicate wooden boxes, and glanced at the cyan medicine bottle placed in the corner, Fu Mingyuan's eyes darkened, and he didn't even take the jade ointment, his proof ...... The results were not satisfactory.
"Who left with the little boy?" Fu Mingyuan turned around and looked at the maids he had selected for Ming Ran back then, and it seemed that Ming Ran had already subdued their hearts.
"The slave doesn't know what the son is talking about...... The little boy is out for a break because he is in a bad mood. Xiao Nian lowered his head and replied, a pair of cold eyes always looking at the ground. Now that the little boy has gone out of the city, as long as she delays a little longer, she will be relieved.
"Is there a maid with you?" Fu Mingyuan glanced at the person outside the door, the latter retreated silently, Mu You walked in the direction of the gate, there was really something wrong in the house......
Xiao Nian couldn't answer for a while, Sister A must be at the second lady's ...... The face was already a little pale.
Fu Mingyuan looked at the people who came, the cold in his eyes instantly condensed, and there was no emotion in his tone: "Lock people up in the firewood room." Then he walked out of the door, and the guards who entered the house nodded one after another, and Fu Mingyuan's shadow on the ground was imprinted with loneliness.
Chu Feiyu sat in the carriage back to Chu Mansion, the smile on her face seemed to be the brilliance of the red lotus after being tempered like hellfire, and the curtain that was occasionally blown open by the wind revealed the side faces of the people in the car, and at that moment there was the innocence of a young man.
He said that this boy was not so bold...... The path has gone in the opposite direction.
When Fu Mingyuan came back to his senses and stood in the corridor, the voice suddenly came from behind him as if it was an empty valley footfoot, and he didn't look back, but the familiar and real voice sounded again...... Eldest brother.
Fu Mingran stood not far away, still dressed as a scholar, and the expression on her face had a sense of affection because of this title, but after all, she was a member of the Fu family......
Mu You stood in the courtyard, chasing the footsteps, looking at the scene in front of him, the hanging heart gradually fell to the ground, if the little boy really left home, the son was afraid that it would be......
