“There are so many things I don’t understand.”
Aunt Gui breathed a sigh of relief.
Over there, Fu Yuheng dealt with the gray-robed man, and thought of the woman that night, frowning in confusion.
That person doesn't look like a woman who has any connection with the country of Okon, but why would she, a rich lady, be involved in this matter
The rich house is Okon's base in Daliang...
"Then could the owner of that rich house be the contact person? His daughter is not of the same mind as him."
Fu Yuheng guessed the connection here and gradually got an idea.
When I returned to the dormitory, Shen Qingwan still hadn't come back. The room was deserted. This inn was not big and the location was very remote. Few people could find it, so there were not many customers.
Now that I have met these permanent financial sponsors, how could I let go
When Fu Yuheng went downstairs, the waiter was taking a nap in front of the counter.
Hearing the noise, he looked up alertly, and found it was him. He quickly nodded and bowed to greet him.
"My dear guest, what do you want?"
The boss said that the customer had to be served well before he would be paid, so the waiter naturally did not dare to neglect him.
Fu Yuheng said, "Give me a pot of sake, and then you can go back to sleep. You don't have to wait for me."
The waiter was eager to rest early. He was exhausted after a busy day. Now that someone showed him mercy, he felt he had gotten a good deal.
Fu Yuheng sat alone in the hall drinking. It was a small space and he felt a little lonely.
He looked towards Lianyun's room upstairs, his eyes full of confusion.
Fu Yuheng still hasn't figured out why Qingwan got so angry.
Thinking of what she said, Fu Yuheng's long-standing ideas were challenged unprecedentedly.
It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but this woman comes to talk to him about fairness. Where is fairness in this world
Fu Yuheng only knew that ability determined everything. If one wanted to be a superior person, he had to show enough strength to fight for himself. However, women would never be as competitive as men.
This is destined to be a tragic situation.
After drinking a pot of wine, Fu Yuheng turned around and went upstairs to Lianyun's room, secretly carried Shen Qingwan out, and returned to his own dormitory.
Without Shen Qingwan, he is destined to have a sleepless night.
The next morning, when Qingwan woke up, she saw a familiar figure pressing on her. She didn't need to think about what had happened.
Fu Yuheng had noticed her actions a long time ago, but for some reason, he didn't want to move. He just wanted to see her reaction and act accordingly.
"Your Majesty, you are pressing on me. I am not as strong as you and cannot bear it."
Only then did Fu Yuheng open his eyes, loosen his hands, and move to the other end of the bed to lie down.
"Who was nice last night?"
Fu Yuheng was just trying to make small talk because he didn't want Shen Qingwan to have any estrangement with him.
Qingwan, however, was not in the mood and didn't want to talk to Fu Yuheng at this time.
"I think it's still early, so I won't disturb Your Majesty. I'll go prepare breakfast for you."
"Do you really have to do this? What did I do that didn't please you? Tell me, and I... I can correct it."
Shen Qingwan didn't even turn her head back and walked out without stopping.
This person simply can't give her what she wants, so it's better not to bring it up, which is more dignified.
That feeling should be completely buried in my heart, and it will never see the light of day again.
After finishing breakfast with Fu Yuheng in silence, Shen Qingwan went to see Shen Tianao as usual.
In the room, Shen Tianao was in good spirits. After several days of recuperation, the scars on his body left by the torture had healed a lot. The doctor said that he would be able to get out of bed and walk around in a few days.
"Dad, how are you feeling today?"
Shen Qingwan asked.
Shen Tianao saw the dark circles under his daughter's eyes and said distressedly, "Thank you for your hard work. You have been taking good care of me these past few days. I will not be a problem for you anymore. Go and have a good rest."
Shen Qingwan shook her head: "Dad, what are you talking about? I am your daughter. You are sick. How can I watch you suffer and remain indifferent?"
Shen Tianao was so moved after hearing these words, and when he thought of the cruel decision he had made, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Daughter, have you ever blamed your father? Did you blame me for sending you to the palace to accompany the emperor?"
Shen Qingwan hesitated for a moment, but then she didn't tell the truth.
"Everything my daughter has was given by me. I asked her to do this for the benefit of the family. If she leaves the family, she will be nothing. You have taught her this since she was young."
How could Shen Tianao not see Shen Qingwan's hesitation? He suddenly regretted letting Shen Qingwan face all these bloody situations for the Shen family alone. There were more dirty things in the palace than anywhere else in the world. Looking at his daughter's current situation, she must be loved but not wanted. He suddenly felt a little distressed.
"Qingwan, if you don't want to, I won't force you. When we help the emperor to ascend the throne again, Dad will beg him to let you leave the palace. Even if you just marry someone, it's better than living a lifetime in a place like that. Dad, I won't force you anymore."
Shen Qingwan didn't expect her father to say these words to her. She always thought that her father had plans for the future, whether it was for an official career or something else. As the daughter of the Shen family, she should follow her father's wishes, put her personal interests behind her, and obey wholeheartedly. But when she was having a quarrel with Fu Yuheng, she suddenly felt tired and didn't know what the point of persisting was.
"Dad, can your daughter tell you the truth?"
Suddenly there was a rustling sound coming from outside the window, and Shen Tianao naturally wouldn't say no.
"You talk, Dad is listening."
Only after dying once do people realize the value of life. At the same time, he no longer has the same obsession with many things as before. Now, he feels that his daughter's happiness is the most important.
Shen Qingwan said: "My daughter's biggest wish is that Dad can be healthy and happy. I have never expected to be rich and powerful. As long as you live well and our lives are not disturbed by anyone, that is perfect. My daughter lives a very tiring life."
This was the first time she showed weakness in front of Shen Tianao.
The father couldn't help but burst into tears.
"It was Dad who harmed you. Dad shouldn't have been so selfish and let you suffer in that place. Don't worry, when things are over, we will go back home and never get involved in these disputes again."
Shen Qingwan also thought it was a good idea, and the two of them had visions for the future, but they didn't know that a man outside the window heard it and forcibly broke the banana leaf into several pieces.
His face was full of sadness.
Does she hate the palace so much
Do you want to go back to your hometown with his father
Have I been bad to her
Fu Yuheng couldn't understand why Shen Qingwan had any reason to leave him. She stayed with him even in such difficult times, so why couldn't she sit with him and enjoy the wealth and glory
Fu Yuheng wanted to go in and find out what was going on, but he couldn't take a step forward.
