Faced with the young man's questioning, Fu Yi couldn't act like a prince at all. Although he is old enough to be his father, he still has no choice but to admit his mistake:
"Master Liu, please calm down. It's all because the other party is too cunning. Our people were delayed for a while on the way, and they were picked up when they arrived. But don't worry, I have sent someone to look for him, and there will be results soon. "
The dignified Duke Jing had no dignity in front of a young man.
Liu Zimo looked at such a humble Duke Jing, and finally softened his expression, stepped forward to help him up, and said: "Forget it, I'm not blaming you. In this case, let's not investigate now. We are already being targeted. The other party We will definitely take precautions, if any further actions are taken, the gain will outweigh the losses."
Duke Jing was relieved.
Liu Zimo asked again: "Do you think Fu Jinan did this?"
Duke Jingguo thought about it for a moment: "Could it be the Queen? I heard that the Queen was inquiring about the Lord of Shanning County a few days ago. Moreover, she just asked me if I knew Gao Dafu."
Liu Zimo frowned: "Master Shanning County?"
Duke Jingguo said hurriedly: "Yes, it's the one the emperor personally conferred last year, and later married to Fu Jin'an."
Liu Zimo: "How did she know about Gao Dafu? Didn't Fu Jinan tell her?"
Fu Yi recalled what happened in the study just now and shook his head: "It doesn't look like that. So I guessed it was the queen."
Liu Zimo thought for a moment and said, "It's all possible. Whether Gao Dafu is in the hands of Fu Jinan or the queen, it doesn't matter to us. If it is in the hands of the queen, it will save us the trouble of taking action."
Duke Jingguo nodded, still feeling a little unbelievable, and said: "That evil... he is really..."
He raised his hand and pointed at the top of his head.
Speaking of this, Liu Zimo's lips revealed a touch of sarcasm: "Only the old Duke Jing knows this best. Didn't he tell you before he died?"
Duke Jingguo looked a little embarrassed: "Father left suddenly and didn't explain anything."
"Ah."
Liu Zimo chuckled lightly, "Okay, it's getting late, I should go. By the way, tell your good son later, don't let the news leak out."
Duke Jingguo: "Yes."

When Fu Jinan returned to the backyard, Shen Yuzhi had already left.
The two of them had dinner as usual, and after dinner they played with the two children for a while. It wasn't until the two little guys got sleepy and were carried off to sleep by the mothers that Luo Ran took the lead in mentioning what happened in the afternoon and asked: "Today's country... Is the father-in-law angry with you?"
Seeing that she mentioned it first, Fu Jin'an nodded and suddenly said, "Do you still remember when your cousin came to my study during Qing Ning and Jing Xing's first birthday party?"
She didn't seem to expect that he would mention that matter. Although she was curious afterwards, she didn't even ask her cousin.
Because she knows that everyone has their own secrets, and it would be the same for her.
"Remember."
Luo Ran said.
Fu Jinan said: "Your cousin found out some things about the Liu family before, and he came to give me the evidence that day."
After saying that, he stared at Luo Ran.
Luo Ran lowered his eyes and said nothing.
After a while, Fu Jinan asked: "Aren't you curious why he gave me the evidence?"
Luo Ran opened his eyes and looked at him and said: "Otherwise? You can't let a small Dali Temple report directly to the emperor. Wouldn't that mean telling everyone that the Shen family is against the Liu family?"
Fu Jinan smiled and pinched her little nose: "You are quite smart."
Luo Ran slapped it down, turned around and said, "Then, what do you want to say?"
Fu Jin'an didn't care about being beaten. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, saying: "Your cousin did this just to tell me that the Shen family is not involved in either the crown prince or the third prince. Moreover, I heard that your uncle also wanted to Quit the cabinet."
Luo Ran frowned: "Quiting from the cabinet? Why?"
Fu Jinan stretched out his long legs, put one leg on top of the other, leaned on the couch and said, "Why else is it that he is afraid of getting involved in the battle for the throne."
Luo Ran: "But it's hard for the Shen family to escape unscathed at this time, right? In that case, why not give it a try? Being in the cabinet doesn't mean that you are from the prince's side."
Fu Jinan raised his eyebrows: "You think clearly."
Luo Ran gave him an angry look, but she didn't realize that he was praising her at all.
Fu Jinan smiled: "Don't worry, your uncle just used one move to retreat in order to advance. Now those people in the court are trying their best to rush in, so it would be wise for your uncle to take a step back at this time. By the way, you little one Qingmei, what’s the name of Qingmei?”
Luo Ran said displeasedly: "Song Qingyou."
Fu Jinan suddenly realized: "Oh yes, Song Qingyou, his boss Xu Bangda is in the limelight right now, and the crown prince and the third prince are trying to win over him. Your uncle didn't have a good relationship with Xu Bangda, and he just happened to get away at this time."
Luo Ran thought about it for a while. The matters in the court were too complicated for a housewife like her to understand. But as long as she knew that her uncle and cousin were taking precautions in this life, she felt relieved.
Fu Jinan looked at the way she lowered her head and thought, and then said, "I've told you, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Luo Ran paused and knew that this person was not so kind to tell him this, but he did not hide it. He told Gao Dafu about it, and finally just said: "I heard that Gao Dafu came to Beijing this time to look for the missing people." My wife and children have been together for many years, but unexpectedly I was targeted before I even entered Beijing.”
When Luo Ran saw that someone was silent, he stood up and called him in to help him wash himself.
When she came out of the shower, there was no one on the couch.
Chun Yu said: "Madam, my lord told me to go to the study if you have something to do. He asked you to rest first without waiting for him."
Luo Ran knew that he should go check on Gao Dafu.
But not long after she lay down, she heard sounds in the house.
The visitor obviously slowed down his pace, and only stood in front of the bed for a glance, then turned and went to the clean room, followed by the sound of rushing water.
Luo Ran blushed and pulled up the quilt.
After a while, a hot wall came up behind me. Although it still contained moisture, it made the entire canopy bed warm. On cold winter nights, people can't help but get closer.
Before Luo Ran could make a move, someone had already consciously held her in his arms. His big hands reached down her clothes and rubbed her belly, making her feel so comfortable that she couldn't help but want to hum.
Fu Jinan buried his face in the crook of her neck, took a deep breath of the fragrance, and said, "Tomorrow I will ask Changying to find Shen Yuzhi. That person is not safe in his hands."
"Um."
The reason Luo Ran told him was also the same. She didn't want to involve the Shen family.
Fu Jinan laughed softly.
Luo Ran looked back at him, a little puzzled: "Why are you laughing?"
Fu Jinan's hand slowly moved up and was held down by Luo Ran.
He laughed again: "Don't be afraid, I won't bother you, I just want to see if you are still warm."
As if to verify what he said, he honestly pulled his hand back after trying it, and finally said: "You don't believe me, and you want to use me."
Luo Ran wanted to say no, but she couldn't open her mouth because she was indeed like this.
The first reaction after hearing Gao Dafu was to ask his cousin for help. But after he regained consciousness, he was worried about involving the Shen family, and finally had to ask the people behind him to come forward.
Unknowingly, there was a trace of guilt in my heart.
