He felt that even the old marquis and the eldest master in the Ningping Marquis' Mansion would not understand his dilemma, so he could only ask Fu Zhiyi for advice.

Fu Zhiyi sneered. Although the boss was dull, his dullness could be quite interesting at times.

Fu Zhiyi looked at the letter in his hand with interest, intending to give Fu Zhijian some time to think.

It has been almost a year since the family split up, and Fu Zhijian has learned about the injustice the Fu family has treated him, yet he still wrote this letter. This is quite interesting.

The most important thing is that Fu Zhijian is already a marquis. If he doesn't take on the responsibilities and burdens that he should bear, how can he expect others to do so?

In other words, he doesn't make the decision he should have made himself and wants to push it to himself?

If something happens, will Fu Zhijian still have a way out?

Although Fu Zhiyi didn't want to think so badly of Fu Zhijian, his own grandfather could watch coldly and even deliberately condone him, making it impossible for him to detoxify, let alone his cousin?

Besides, Fu Zhijian has a grandfather and is protected by the laws of the court. If he can't deal with Fu Zhiming, then he might as well give up the title of Marquis.

Throwing the letter aside, Fu Zhiyi was too lazy to care about it anymore.

However, when having dinner in the evening, I heard Lu Zhenzhen talking about the second house, and it turned out that Fu Zhizhe was also going to be sent out.

I couldn't help but laugh. Among the four brothers of their generation, the second one was also a smart man, just like his second uncle.

It's just that she always keeps a low profile and protects herself, so everyone ignores the second wife.

Looking back now, although Second Uncle Fu Heyong was not as valued as the eldest master Fu Heming, nor as favored as the third master Fu Heyin, in this mansion, nothing belonging to the second house was left out.

There was no benefit in dividing the family. The third house got scolded, but the second house also got the benefits.

Now they are talking about sending Fu Zhizhe away. Could it be that the current situation in the capital has changed again?

Otherwise, with Second Uncle's personality, he would definitely want to keep his son by his side.

Now thinking back to Uncle Lan’s letter announcing the good news, I’m afraid this one sentence contains too much.

Fu Zhiyi sorted out his thoughts and originally wanted to pretend that he had forgotten what the couple had said during the day, stay in the room, and hug his wife at night.

As a result, he was kicked out mercilessly and the door was closed from the inside.

After he whispered to Lu Zhenzhen that he couldn't sleep without his wife, the door was closed, but the window was open and the pillows were thrown out: "It's the same as sleeping with a pillow."

With a creak, the window was closed.

Fu Zhiyi hugged the pillow helplessly, turned around, looked at Haitang Dingxiang and other maids who were lowering their heads to try to suppress their laughter, shook his head helplessly, and walked through the garden to the study in front with the pillow in his arms.

midnight.

Lu Zhenzhen was half asleep and half awake when she felt the window being pushed open. Then she felt a chill beside her and was embraced by a familiar embrace.

Lu Zhenzhen rubbed it subconsciously and fell asleep again with peace of mind.

When I woke up the next day, I saw the pillow that was thrown away last night was safely placed next to my own pillow, which made Lu Zhenzhen laugh out loud.

It seems like someone was a thief last night and sneaked in through the window in the middle of the night.

After getting up and washing up, the couple sat opposite each other and had breakfast.

Lu Zhenzhen stared at Fu Zhiyi while eating. How could this guy climb through the window last night and remain calm this morning, acting as if nothing happened?

Fu Zhiyi remained calm and composed. Not only did he not feel uncomfortable being stared at by his wife, but he even enjoyed his meal more.

From time to time, he would pick up some food for his wife with his chopsticks, and said innocently: "Wife, why don't you eat?"

Lu Zhenzhen was really impressed by Lao Liu and drank her porridge with a huff.

Nanny Ye watched the young couple flirting with each other and smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.

After breakfast, Fu Zhiyi went to the front.

Not only do I have to deal with official business, but I also heard that there are already some clues about the things that need to be investigated in the next few days, and I have to supervise them all the time.

Lu Zhenzhen saw him out and watched him go to the county government office.

He turned around and spent some time in the garden. Just as he was about to return to the house, he heard the servant report that Cai wanted to see him.

As Lu Zhenzhen let the person in, she felt puzzled. Wasn't Cai busy with the rouge shop? How could she have time to come here?

Cai came in quickly. Although she still had a smile on her face, Lu Zhenzhen could see the fear in her eyes.

Seeing Lu Zhenzhen, Cai felt as if she had found her backbone. She breathed a sigh of relief at first, and just as she was about to speak, she looked around and closed her mouth again.

Lu Zhenzhen understood and gestured for the servants in the room to leave.

Nanny Ye was guarding the door herself.

Cai then looked around, making sure no one was around, and leaned close to Lu Zhenzhen's ear, "A few days ago, I went to Fancheng to prepare the flowers for my rouge."

He also explained to Lu Zhenzhen that Fancheng was rich in flowers.

At this time of year, the jasmine and violet flowers in Fancheng are in full bloom, so Cai wanted to use the juice of these flowers to fumigate the rouge cream.

When she arrived in Fancheng, she remembered a pearl diver whom she had helped before.

Cai wanted to ask the pearl divers if they had any high-quality pearls. If so, she planned to buy some and give them to Lu Zhenzhen as a festival gift.

As a result, they asked someone at a familiar shop, but they were told that they hadn't seen the pearl diver for several years.

Cai was puzzled, but luckily the pearl-diving girl had told her that if anyone came to look for her and couldn't find her, they could leave a mark somewhere on the seashore outside the city, and she would come when she saw it.

Cai left a mark and asked someone to wait there.

It was not until midnight that the pearl-diving girl appeared secretly, but was discovered by the people left behind by Cai and was brought back.

Only then did Cai realize that after just a few years, the pearl-diving girl had aged terribly. Her legs were lame, her hands seemed to be defective, and even her face was disfigured.

He was covered in dirt, looking like a beggar.

Cai had someone take her downstairs, give her a bath and change her clothes, and also prepare some food for her.

The pearl divers were probably so hungry that they didn't even bother to use chopsticks. They just grabbed the pearls with their hands and stuffed them into their mouths.

After the pearl-diving girl had eaten and drunk her fill, she cleaned up and went back to Cai.

Cai asked the pearl-diving girl what happened?

The pearl diver burst into tears. It turned out that three years ago, her home was occupied by a group of mysterious people who came out of nowhere.

Their village was originally on a coastal peninsula outside Fancheng.

The peninsula is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a small plain in the middle.

The surrounding mountains act as a natural barrier, protecting their village in the middle.

The only way to enter the village is through a narrow and hidden mountain road.

They originally made a living by collecting pearls, and this tradition has been passed down from generation to generation. Because this village is remote and no one has discovered it, it has protected them for hundreds of years.

As a result, no one knew how those mysterious people found out the whereabouts of their village, but they just took it over.

The men in the village who resisted were killed on the spot, and their blood dyed the pond in the center of the village red.

The elderly and children were left behind to serve as slaves for these people.

Not only were the women forced to commit themselves to these people, they also had to serve them, cook for them, and wash their clothes.

Just like bandits.

The villagers thought these people were pirates coming ashore.

The elderly and children who stayed behind were kept under strict supervision, but the women were kept under more lenient supervision.

Several pearl divers were unwilling to live such a ravaged life, so they discussed and decided to cover each other and escape.

They fled to the county town and reported to the government, asking the court to wipe out the pirates, avenge their dead relatives, and rescue the remaining villagers.
