Chapter 621 It’s better to put an end to this matter
Fu Zhiyi rubbed his brows and said, "I understand. I'll go to the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow."
"I'm telling you, you have to listen to me this time and go. If you don't go, I'll die—ah, go—"
The third master was about to say "die in front of you" when he realized that Fu Zhiyi actually agreed.
I was a little confused for a moment.
He scratched his head and asked cautiously, "Are you kidding me?"
Fu Zhiyi snorted coldly: "Then I won't go."
The third master immediately covered his mouth and said, "I just farted. I didn't say anything. You go, you must go! Oh, I'm tired all day and didn't sleep well. I have to go back and rest."
As he said this, he walked towards the front yard, rubbing his butt as he walked.
Yesterday, the old marquis kicked me off the bed and my butt hit the ground. I didn't feel it when I was sleeping, but I found it was very painful after I woke up.
Just to get the person, the third master was too embarrassed to say anything.
Now that I'm home, I can't hide my relaxation anymore.
Fu Zhiyi took a look, lowered his eyelids and said nothing.
Lu Zhenzhen ordered, "Go, have someone check on the old man's waist. Is it twisted? Is it serious? If it's not serious, have someone apply some medicated oil to the old man. If it's serious, go and ask Dr. Qi to come."
Someone immediately agreed to go.
When Lu Zhenzhen and Fu Zhiyi were about to go to bed, he came back to report, "Madam, I've sent someone to check on the old master's back. It's nothing serious. It was caused by falling off the bed yesterday. He's been rubbed with medicated oil and applied the plaster given by Doctor Qi for injuries. I've also told the old master's attendants that if his back is still uncomfortable tomorrow morning, they're to ask Doctor Qi to come over."
Only then did Lu Zhenzhen feel relieved.
Putting aside other things, the Third Master was injured because of Fu Zhiyi. He couldn't just see it and pretend not to see it.
The couple lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Lu Zhenzhen asked, "Are you really going to the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow to thank the old Marquis?"
Fu Zhiyi's eyes were cold in the darkness, and he curled his lips: "The old man is suddenly so generous, of course he has something to ask for. After all, I have to go and see him, and settle this matter before the army sets out. Otherwise, after I leave, he will rely on his seniority to embarrass you!"
Lu Zhenzhen understood that Fu Zhiyi had taken the old marquis's sugar-coated bullet in his stride, and was about to throw the bullet back. Not only was he not grateful at all, but he was also wary of it.
It's really rare to have such a relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.
However, Lu Zhenzhen would not interfere in the confrontation between the grandparents and grandchildren. Even if she did, she would definitely stand on Fu Zhiyi's side.
Therefore, he patted Fu Zhiyi's shoulder encouragingly: "Come on! I'm rooting for you!"
Fu Zhiyi laughed briefly and kissed Lu Zhenzhen's hair.
"I won't be back until the battle in the northwest is won. Everything at home will be handed over to you, Zhenzhen. Thank you for your hard work!" Fu Zhiyi hugged her in his arms and said apologetically.
Lu Zhenzhen also felt a sense of reluctance and worry in her heart: "Don't worry about the things at home. Forget about you going to the northwest to fight. Who in the capital would be so blind as to cause trouble at this time?"
"Besides, His Majesty will protect us! We also have the Shu Palace, the Lan family, and the Fourth Princess. I guarantee everything will be fine."
"If all else fails, I, your wife, am as sweet as honey. After all, I am now well-known for my good popularity among the women in the capital. Who can bully me?"
"Don't worry! Just focus on your duties at the front and take care of yourself! Only when you're safe can our family be safe!"
Fu Zhiyi nodded and said only three words: "Don't worry!"
After a night, Fu Zhiyi went straight to the Ningping Marquis Mansion after finishing his daytime shift.
When the doorman of Ningping Marquis's Mansion saw Fu Zhiyi coming, he hurriedly welcomed him in and urged him to go in and report to his masters.
Fu Zhijian has been quiet for some time now, and no longer cares about things happening inside or outside the mansion. He just stays in the front study all day long, and no one knows what he is doing.
He didn't go into the backyard, and the two maids in the study who were doing good things for him didn't sleep either.
At first, Mrs. Hu was a little worried, afraid that Fu Zhijian would suffer a big blow.
Now that more than a month has passed and there has been no movement from Fu Zhijian, I feel relieved.
Just hoping that Fu Zhijian wouldn't cause any trouble would make the house much quieter.
Of course, even if Fu Zhijian turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside, the fact that the imperial court was going to declare war and the Prince of Jin was going to supervise the army on behalf of the emperor had caused a lot of uproar, and it was a major event that everyone in the capital knew about.
Fu Zhijian naturally knew that the third master had entered the mansion a few days ago and looted several boxes, and that twenty or thirty people had taken things away.
He also went to the old marquis to inquire in a tactful way.
The old marquis did not hide it from him, and Fu Zhijian only then knew that Fu Zhiyi was also going to the northwest.
When I heard that Fu Zhiyi was coming today, I hurried out to greet him since we were brothers of many years.
I was worried when I met her.
However, he also knew that the emperor's order was difficult to disobey. After thinking it over, he found nothing to say. Finally, he said, "Fourth Brother, don't worry. Third Uncle, Third Aunt, my brother's wife, and the children are all under our care. We will definitely not let anyone bully them."
After saying this, he was afraid that Fu Zhiyi would not believe him, so he added: "Although the Ningping Marquis' Mansion is not favored by the emperor now, it is still no problem to protect your family."
Fu Zhiyi just smiled and bowed his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your concern, big brother."
Fu Zhijian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Fu Zhiyi's words. "It's only natural for family members to keep their own affairs. If you say anything more, you'll be an outsider, right?"
Although Fu Zhiyi felt that if something really happened, the Ningping Marquis' Mansion might not be useful.
But if something really happens after he leaves, it will always be good to have an extra place to retreat and more people to take care of him.
Therefore, he patiently exchanged a few polite words with Fu Zhijian.
The two brothers walked towards the old marquis together.
Fu Zhijian showed some understanding this time. After sending him to the gate of the old marquis's courtyard, he patted Fu Zhiyi on the shoulder and said, "Fourth Brother, I know you have something to say to Grandfather, so I won't go in. I'll ask someone to go to the kitchen and prepare a few of your favorite side dishes. You must stay for a drink tonight. This is also a way for you to practice in advance."
Fu Zhiyi didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.
When Fu Zhijian heard that Fu Zhiyi agreed, he went there happily.
Fu Zhiyi entered the old marquis's yard.
The yard was quiet.
Several attendants were waiting at the bottom of the stairs. When they saw Fu Zhiyi come in, they bowed and said, "The old marquis told you to go in directly when you arrive."
Fu Zhiyi nodded and stepped into the inner room.
In the inner room, the old marquis was sitting at the top of the table, leaning against the back of his chair and taking a nap.
I didn't sleep all night last night because of the trouble caused by the third brother, and I just couldn't take it anymore this afternoon.
When Fu Zhiyi came in, he saw the old marquis nodding off with his head nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.
The light from outside shone through the window onto the old marquis. One could see that his hair and beard had turned completely white, his face was covered in wrinkles, and he looked very old.
There has never been such a heart before. Fu Zhiyi knew clearly that the old marquis was old after all.
