Fu Yuxiu had never cared much about the old man's physical condition. He chose to stay in the Fu family because of his mother's last words.
Before Nan Jinxiu died, the woman who had been crazy for three years suddenly grabbed him and made him swear.
At that time, she changed her crazy look, looked very sober, and returned to her gentle look as before.
Nan Jinxiu made him promise that he would not leave the Fu family or attack the Fu family before Fu Dingfeng died.
Knowing her son better than her mother, Nan Jinxiu knew how terrible it would be for her son to be really ruthless.
Those eyes were already filled with bloodlust when they were still young, let alone after they grew up.
The woman who suddenly woke up before dying was also trying her last best.
She wanted to keep the peace of the Fu family for the sake of the man she had loved all her life.
Fu Yuxiu half-hugged Wen Li and openly showed off his affection at the door. The servants passing by took a few evasive glances.
Is the girl in the young master's arms the medicine god who just came over to treat the old master
"Mr. Fu seems to be in high spirits, but in fact he is seriously exhausted inside, mentally and physically damaged, and he will not be able to survive the past two years." Wen Li said.
Fu Yuxiu paused and continued to walk towards the other side of the lake with her in his arms.
"What if it was you who took care of it?"
Wen Li stepped on the wet ground and glanced sideways at the snow that had been cleared on both sides.
"You want me to help him heal?"
Fu Yuxiu chuckled, put her palm into his pocket and covered it, "It depends on your own wishes, his life and death cannot determine anything."
Wen Li became curious.
It is said that Fu Yuxiu did not leave the Fu family until he was seven years old, or that he left the Fu family only after his mother passed away.
In the past seven years, has Fu Yuxiu not been favored by the old man
"Since I'm here, let's have a meal first and take you to a good place." Fu Yuxiu lowered his head and said.
It does take a long time to walk from this side of the lake to the other side of the lake.
After walking for a while, Wen Li saw a man squatting on the lake not far away, still wearing the familiar color of his clothes.
Fu Zhiqing was squatting on the ice at the moment, seemingly chasing something cautiously from a distance. There was a silver gradient cat in front of her.
The kitten huddled up and couldn't stand firmly on the ice.
Probably chasing the cat.
"Is that your sister?" Wen Li asked.
Fu Yuxiu stopped and looked at the girl in the center of the lake in the distance, his delicate brows slightly furrowed.
"This ice surface doesn't look very strong. I'm afraid there might be problems if it goes too long." Wen Li reminded.
On the shore of the lake in the distance, servants seemed to be passing by one after another, but they only briefly glanced at the little girl in the center of the lake and then walked away.
He had no intention of approaching him at all.
Compared with Fu Zhining's arrogant and arrogant look, Fu Zhiqing has no sense of presence in front of others.
These servants also have a scale in their minds to know who has a higher status.
The sound she called Fu Yuxiu in the morning was soft and soft, but she never looked directly at them.
"Go and bring her out." Fu Yuxiu said.
Lu Min and Fei Ran, who were walking not far behind them, heard this and stepped on the ice towards the middle of the lake.
Among all the information Su Jingjing found, there was very little information about Fu Zhiqing.
It was only said that she was born by a servant of the Fu family. As for what she became like after the maid gave birth to her, no one knew.
The only person in the Fu family who has always been publicized is the eldest lady Fu Zhining.
Compared to her arrogance and domineeringness, Fu Zhiqing is like a child forgotten in the corner.
He has never participated in any external activities of the Fu family, and his external reputation is also very low.
The ice is very slippery, and ordinary people would naturally not be able to stand firmly on it.
However, people as well trained as Fei Ran and Lu Min could barely stand firm when they went up.
Fu Zhiqing stretched out her hand hard to reach the middle. The kitten slipped on the ice and swayed, unable to stand steadily, and fell again and again.
"Meow meow… "
"Love, love, don't be afraid." Fu Zhiqing comforted it.
Feiran arrived behind her in a short while, lowered his head and said, "Miss Fourth, the ice is not stable. Please come down with us."
Fu Zhiqing seemed to be frightened, looking up at the sudden appearance of Fei Ran.
"But my cat..."
"Please come with me." Feiran helped her get up very politely.
Although Fu Zhiqing was reluctant, she followed Feiran to the lake.
When she was about to reach the shore, she turned back and saw that Lu Min had successfully picked up Ai Ai, and Fu Zhiqing finally had a relaxed smile on her face.
Wen Li had a panoramic view of everything by the lake. They were both children of the Fu family, but Fu Zhiqing and Fu Zhining were completely different.
She didn't dare to refute Feiran's words, no matter how reluctant she was, she turned back to look at the cat, but could only follow Feiran.
Fu Zhiqing quickly arrived in front of Wen Li. She glanced at Fu Yuxiu and quickly lowered her head.
"Second brother." She called.
"Don't go to the lake in the future. It's not safe." Fu Yuxiu lowered his head and said.
Fu Zhiqing nodded, and Lu Min handed the cat back to her.
"Thank you." Fu Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief and hugged the cat tightly.
Wen Li saw that her body was shaking uncontrollably, as if she had been frozen for a long time.
What was even more eye-catching was that there was a long red mark on her outside arm, like a whip mark.
"Lu Min, take her back." Wen Li ordered.
Fu Zhiqing looked up at her strangely, but quickly lowered her head. They only looked at each other for a second.
Lu Min escorted Fu Zhiqing to where she lived.
Wen Li stood there, with the man beside him holding her face with his open palms.
The warm palm temperature spread to Bu Wenli's slightly cold face.
"Let's go."
The entire other side of the lake belongs to Fu Yuxiu, and this is also the area that Fu Yuan single-handedly circled for Nan Jinxiu.
The transparent glass house has a unique structure. No matter how heavy the snowstorm is, it will not be destroyed and the roof will not accumulate snow.
The last time we came here, Wen Li still remembered that in these glass houses, different flowers were planted in different categories.
Fu Yuxiu led her into one of the glass rooms. The constant temperature system ensured that all the flowers here would remain invincible all year round.
The fiery red color made Wen Li feel a little strange after seeing all the white snow in the past two days.
"Did your mother grow these?" Wen Li leaned over and took a sniff.
This pure and natural fragrance smells better than any rose perfume or rose dettol.
"My mother's roses withered the year she died, and I planted them later."
Fu Yuxiu followed her like a child asking for candy.
"You planted it?" Wen Li didn't believe it. She couldn't imagine this arrogant man squatting on the ground with a small shovel, shoveling soil and fertilizing.
"Don't believe it?" Fu Yuxiu picked out the largest and most beautiful flower and handed it to her.
"This is my mother's favorite place. Only she can come in and take care of it. After she dies, no one can enter here. Naturally, the flowers here will wither."
Fu Yuxiu has installed an automatic control system here. Even if he cannot come back after so many years, there will be dedicated people pruning and taking care of it.
"You don't look like someone who loves flowers. How can you have such a leisurely time to plant flowers?" Wen Li raised his eyebrows.
Fu Yuxiu led her to sit on the hanging chair in the middle, rested his chin on her shoulder and spoke softly.
"My mother once told me that roses represent love. After she joined the Fu family, she planted this garden full of roses for her beloved."
It's a pity that everything ended not so happily.
Not long after Fu Yuan died, the crazy Nan Jinxiu also died of illness, which could be regarded as an end to the love that left a legend throughout the imperial capital.
The rose that symbolized their feelings also withered and died.
"So you planted this field of roses for courtship?"
From the Crystal Palace to here, Wen Li had no choice but to believe this matter.
This man did have talents that were different from ordinary people in many aspects, especially in pleasing her.
"What others have, our Li Bao must also have. I planted this for you, and it has been waiting for you for many years."
Wen Li smiled and listened to his sentimental words.
In Fu Yuxiu's heart, his mother's position was very important. Otherwise, a naturally rebellious person would not be able to achieve this level.
Fu Yuxiu sat on the hanging chair with his arms in his arms, his slender legs swinging back and forth on the ground.
"Are you touched?" He suddenly approached Wen Li.
The handsome and outstanding face magnified in front of Wen Li's eyes. Wen Li leaned over and rubbed the tip of his nose against his.
"You want to hear the truth?"
The man nodded and stroked the side of her face with his white palms.
Their eyes met, and there was a soft touch on their lips. Fu Yuxiu curled his lips in satisfaction and responded to her gently.
The purple blood vessels on the back of the hand vaguely appeared, and the man kissed her gently, as if he had found a treasure.
…
Lu Min sent the person back from the lake. Fu Zhiqing lived behind the main building, which was different from the other three children of the Fu family.
The white two-story villa is far away from the main building, and servants live next to it.
As soon as she entered the house, Fu Zhiqing put the cat she was holding on the ground. The whole building was quite large. After all, it was the Fu family's territory. The decoration and furnishings were not comparable to those of ordinary homes.
Lu Min stood at the door but did not go in. After all, it was a girl's room.
"Do you want to come in and sit down?" Fu Zhiqing turned around.
"I'm leaving first." Lu Min nodded slightly and left.
Fu Zhiqing sat on the plush carpet, raising her hand to stroke the kitten she had just found.
"Ai Ai, you can't go to such dangerous places in the future. You have to stay here obediently. Although it's not very comfortable here, it's still our home." Fu Zhiqing lowered her head and said.
No matter if it's a little colder, it's still the place where I grew up.
Lu Min hadn't even taken two steps when he heard singing coming from behind, and he looked back.
Fu Zhiqing's position in the Fu family is embarrassing. After so many years, she still doesn't get the attention of the old man. I'm afraid even the servants can bully her easily.
However, the old man was afraid of Fu Zhiqing's existence in his heart.
The reason why Nan Jinxiu went crazy back then was because she couldn't accept Fu Yuan's cheating, and that cheating partner was the maid who gave birth to Fu Zhiqing.
It is said that the maid accidentally entered the drunk Fu Yuan's room, and was caught having a one-night stand on the bed, where Nan Jinxiu happened to see her.
That was also the biggest key to the problem between Nan Jinxiu and Fu Yuan, until the maid announced her pregnancy.
That was the straw that broke the camel's back. Nan Jinxiu went completely crazy from then on, and her relationship with Fu Yuan completely broke down.
In the second year after she went crazy, Fu Yuan died for some reason.
In the hearts of the Fu family, especially Mr. Fu, a large part of the cause of the death of his favorite son was Fu Zhiqing's mother.
This resulted in this child, who was born at an untimely time, becoming a thorn in the heart of the Fu family.
In Fu Dingfeng's eyes, this dispensable granddaughter was naturally far inferior to Fu Zhining, who was born orthodoxly.
Fu Yuxiu and Wen Li had lunch on the shore of the lake, and the chef's cooking standards strictly followed Wen Li's favorite taste.
Rover took a special look when he brought his servants over to deliver snacks. The relationship between the two was very good.
Just like Nan Jinxiu and Fu Yuan back then.
He knew in his heart that the old man didn't like Wen Li.
Emotions can make the strong fall. Just like Fu Yuan back then, Nan Jinxiu eventually became a hurdle that Fu Yuan could not overcome in his life.
Fu Dingfeng stood on the balcony. From this position, he could vaguely see the buildings on the other side of the lake.
Rover brought a cup of hot tea over and put his coat on the old man.
"Sent it over?"
Rover nodded, "The young master likes Miss Wen Li very much and has even taken her to Mrs. Nan's rose room."
Everything is irreversible.
Now if the old man insists on breaking them up, he is destined to be the next Fu Yuan and Nan Jinxiu.
"Sure enough, the blood flowing in their bones is the same. He and Fu Yuan are so similar." Fu Dingfeng's words seemed to be sighing.
Luo Fu knew that Fu Yuan was forced by the old man to marry his first wife without any emotional restraint.
During that time, he took good care of the entire Fu family.
But after his first wife died, he brought back Nan Jinxiu, a woman from a small town in Jiangbei.
At the cost of not being able to marry her and hold a wedding for the rest of his life, he persuaded the old man to keep that woman by his side.
But eventually, something happened.
If you love too deeply, something will always change.
Fu Dingfeng was afraid that a second Fu Yuan would appear.
"Rover, my body can't hold on for too long. Maybe it's time to make a decision."
After all, the position of being the head of the family must be passed on.
"What day do you want to choose?"
Fu Dingfeng thought for a while, "Just after the new year, right?"
Half a month later, it will be the Lunar New Year. It is the most appropriate time for the Fu family to welcome the new head of the family.
"Then who do you prefer more?"
This is undoubtedly an extremely difficult choice.
No matter who becomes the head of the family, there will always be trouble between the two brothers.
If Fu Yuheng takes the position of being the leader, I'm afraid he won't let Fu Yuxiu go.
Secondly, it was because of Nan Jinxiu's last words that Fu Yuxiu could stay in the Fu family for so many years. If he really died by then, no one would be able to stop Fu Yuxiu.
The change of power is destined not to be a peaceful process.
