I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

As Fu Lingnan led Fu Jiaming into the main hall, they found two cups of hot tea on the official chair below the main seat.

Fu Jiaming also found it strange. He stepped forward, picked up the teacup and sniffed it, his face surprised. "Dad, it's Imperial Longjing, it hasn't been touched yet."

Fu Lingnan frowned slightly, a hint of sarcasm crossing his face, "It seems that your father-in-law had already predicted that we would come today."

Fu Jiaming panicked, "Then... what should I do? Mr. Shen won't know that I asked Sui'er to hide on purpose, right?"

"Shut up." Fu Lingnan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around the main hall sharply. After making sure that there was no one in the room, he sneered and walked towards one of the main seats leisurely.

"Don't worry, Suier has been raised in the Fu family and is very close to you as his father. Nothing will happen to him."

Hearing this, Fu Jiaming's expression eased a lot. He lowered his head and looked at the teacup in his hand, "Dad, Mr. Shen is very shrewd. Should we pour out this tea?"

Fu Lingnan glanced at him and said, "Bring it here."

Fu Jiaming didn't dare to disobey and quickly offered it with both hands, "Dad, be careful of the heat."

Fu Lingnan was calm and composed, looking very satisfied that everything was under control. "What are you afraid of? This is Shen Garden. Do you think Shen Zhuang would dare to poison us?"

Uncovering the teacup, Fu Lingnan was intoxicated as he sniffed the fragrant tea aroma and smiled meaningfully, "In officialdom, no matter how we fight, since I'm here, Shen Zhuang has to serve me a cup of good tea." After saying that, he drank half a sip proudly.

Fu Jiaming looked like he had benefited a lot, "Dad, you are really awesome."

Even Shen Zhuang would not be willing to drink this tea. Fu Jiaming took a sip happily, but couldn't taste anything, so he took another sip.

On the other side, Shen Zhuang was leading people to look for someone in the middle courtyard. Suddenly, news came from Dongyuan that the person had been found. Shen Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Zhi looked at the sun in the sky and took out a handkerchief from his pocket, "Grandpa, the Fu family has been here for quite a while, why don't you go and take a look first?"

Shen Zhuang took the towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Fu Lingnan is here too?"

"Yes. I didn't stop him according to your instructions. According to the old man of the Fu family's temperament, he should be waiting for you in Qinyuan now."

Shen Zhuang's eyes grew colder. "Suier just disappeared yesterday, and the Fu family showed up today. The news arrived so quickly. Let's go and see what that old man has up his sleeve."

Shen Zhi lowered his eyes and didn't dare to respond.

The central courtyard was about a ten-minute walk from Qinyuan. Shen Zhuang arrived at the gate of his own courtyard in a short while. Before he entered, he saw Shen Guiling and Zhao Ping there. Not only that, there was also someone lying at the door.

Shen Zhuang quickly realized something was amiss and approached to find that the person lying on the ground was the maid. Her face was covered in blood and she had a cable tie tied around her head.

"What's going on?" Shen Zhuang looked at Shen Guiling seriously.

Shen Guiling shook her head. "I don't know either. This morning, I heard from Butler Zhao that Sui'er was missing, so I thought about coming to Qin Garden to ask you about her situation, but as soon as I got to the door, I saw Aunt Fatty lying there. She had a head injury, and I've already asked someone to contact Doctor Meng."

Shen Zhuang nodded and patted Shen Guiling on the shoulder, "Good boy."

After saying that, Shen Zhuang glanced towards the yard with a stern look, completely devoid of his usual kindness.

"Shen Zhi, go call Zheng Song over."

Shen Zhi's expression changed slightly, "Yes."

Shen Zhuang raised his hand and placed one arm in front of Shen Guiling, "A Ling, help grandpa in."

Shen Guiling nodded, held Shen Zhuang's arms with both hands, and followed his footsteps across the threshold of Qinyuan.

Zhao Ping was stunned by the scene. When did Master A Ling become so favored? After reacting, he hurriedly followed.

At this time, twenty minutes had passed since Fu Lingnan's visit. Fu Jiaming was a little restless and wanted to go outside the hall to smoke a cigarette. As soon as he stepped out of the hallway, he saw Shen Zhuang and a young man entering the corridor.

Fu Jiaming quickly put out the cigarette in his hand and turned back to the main hall.

"Dad, the old man from the Shen family is here."

Fu Lingnan was resting with his eyes closed. Upon hearing this, he slowly opened his eyelids and looked deeply towards the hallway.

After a while, two figures appeared outside the door. Shen Guiling supported Shen Zhuang and stepped into the main hall on the broken light.

Fu Lingnan used his thumb to adjust the beads, then slowly stood up. The moment Shen Zhuang looked up at him, he put on a big smile.

"Hahahaha, long time no see, Mr. Shen is still as elegant as ever."

Shen Zhuang was polite and glanced at the teacup on the table. "I'm old and my legs can't keep up. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, Mr. Fu."

"Oh, no! I'm the one causing trouble for my in-laws by coming here uninvited."

Shen Zhuang smiled lightly, "Mr. Fu's words are too harsh. I can't stand it."

Fu Lingnan's smile faded a bit, and his eyes seemed to glance at Shen Guiling casually. His gaze paused for a moment before he turned to look at Fu Jiaming, "What are you standing there for, you bastard? Why don't you admit your mistake to your father-in-law?!"

"Yes." Fu Jiaming knelt down without saying a word and kowtowed to Shen Zhuang respectfully, his voice choked with sobs, "Dad, I was wrong before, I was a bastard, I already know I was wrong, please ask Gillian for me, for the sake of the child, please forgive me this time."

Shen Zhuang seemed not to hear and gently patted the back of Shen Guiling's hand. Shen Guiling understood immediately and supported Shen Zhuang to the main seat with his brows slightly lowered.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. Fu Jiaming didn't know whether to cry or not, so he could only look to his father for help.

Fu Lingnan was unhappy, turned around and followed him to sit down, smiling and maintaining his dignity, "Mr. Shen, as the saying goes, it is better to destroy a temple than to break up a marriage? We are all family, why should we hurt the harmony? Don't worry, I will definitely give an explanation to the Shen family and Gillian about this matter, and those unpresentable people outside..."

"Mr. Fu," Shen Zhuang interrupted with a smile. "You should know, right? When our two families first formed an alliance, I looked down on your useless son."

The smile on Fu Lingnan's face froze instantly.

Shen Zhuang, however, seemed not to notice and continued to talk to himself, "But I can't blame you all. My daughter is also blind. Fortunately, our Shen family is different from your Fu family. We don't even have the courage to take responsibility for our mistakes. He is just a man who is not presentable. If you make the wrong choice, you can just choose another one. My daughter of the Shen family has enough capital to make mistakes. Don't you agree, Mr. Fu?"

These words were like shit on the Fu family's head. Fu Lingnan was so angry that he stopped breathing for a few seconds.

Outside the door, Shen Jiao was holding Fu Sui'er's hand and was shaking.

Fu Sui'er had mosquito bumps on her head and a complicated expression. This was the first time she saw her mother cry.

Shen Jiao closed her eyes and tried hard to keep her voice from shaking. "Come in."

"Oh." Fu Sui'er lowered his head and held Shen Jiao's hand tightly with his backhand.
