Chapter 191: Has He Changed?
n sighed and had to say directly: "But men and women getting hurt isn't light, being in one room together doesn't seem very proper. Perhaps... you could go out first"Yin Qi was startled, and suddenly..."Elder..." Fu Zimu murmured the two words, his gaze somewhat distant, not knowing what he was thinking. Then, he raised his head and asked again, "That... how many people came from Tiangige this time"
Hu Yan Liu Yun pondered for a moment before saying, "I don't know the exact number, but when they came to the palace to see my father last time, there were about seven or eight of them."
Fu Zi Mo put down his teacup, his fingers lightly tapping on the small table beside him. The sound was crisp and slow, rhythmical. After a long time, he asked again, "Among those people, is there one who is lame"
“A cripple” Hu Yan Liu Yun was shocked, “Your Highness’s information is truly well-connected. Indeed, there is a cripple inside, but he seems rather out of it. He needs two people to help him walk, and those people seem to value him highly, almost never leaving his side. My father later told me that many powerful weapons that have come from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion this year were made by that cripple.”
Fu Zi Mo fell silent, his brows furrowed. He lightly massaged his temples, but didn't ask anything more.
When Qin Luoyan heard this, she felt a strange sensation in her heart for some reason. It was a dull feeling, like a stone pressing down on her chest, making it hard to breathe.
She had stayed in the Tianjige and hadn't heard of any formidable cripple named that. That meant the person wasn't a cripple before, but recently became one. Moreover, Fu Zimuo would never care about people who were useless to him. He cared so much about that cripple because of her
He had already achieved his purpose of infiltrating the Tiangijia Pavilion. He was no longer connected to it, wasn't he The only connection was her senior brother, wasn't it Of course, he knew the significance of the senior brother to her, so he cared about that lame man – could he be the senior brother
Qin Luoyan felt her mouth was dry and parched. She lifted her teacup and took a large gulp. The warm tea eased some of the anxiety in her heart. Regardless, if her senior brother was also in Fenqicheng, wouldn't that mean she had a chance to save him
Hu Yan Liuyun saw that Fu Zimo had no questions to ask, and immediately anxiously inquired about Liuli. "Your Highness, I have already told you everything I know, can you return Liuli to me"
Fu ZiMo came back to his senses, a hint of confusion suddenly appearing on his face, "Prince LiuYun is willing to fight your father to the end for one woman"
"My Lord, you know the child in LiuLi's belly is mine. Why do you ask such questions Although I, Hu Yan LiuYun, may act recklessly at times, I am still a man of integrity. Since LiuLi carries my offspring, I cannot simply let her be without the title of Consort. If I can't even protect her and her child, wouldn't that make me a pathetic coward"
Hu Yan Liu Yun let out a wry smile, it was strange to say, over the years he had many women around him, and beauties were no exception. He didn't have deep feelings for Liuli either, but ever since he learned she had his own flesh and blood, he found himself thinking about her goodness everywhere. Perhaps, this is the connection that comes from being related by blood.
Fu Zimu frowned, lazily propping his chin up, the confusion on his face deepening. "You're a lucky one. When I saved Liuli, I asked her if she regretted knowing you. But Liuli said she didn't regret it. She knew that as a courtesan, she couldn't be your consort, so she never wished for anything more than to have a place in your Prince's residence."
"Did she really say that" Hulian Liu Yun clenched his fists excitedly.
"Can I still deceive you" Fu Zi Mo sighed with sorrow, "You little one, how can you be so lucky, unlike this King..."
He didn't say the words that followed, but Qin Luo yan felt a sudden chill in her heart. For a moment, it was as if her heart skipped a beat. She knew that Fu Zimo was blaming her for being discontented. He blamed her for not being like the other women here, accepting a man with three wives and four concubines.
Just because he couldn't figure it out, he became curious about her, this "townsperson of Qin Luoyan." He wanted to learn more about her unorthodox ideas through this connection.
"Forget it..." Fu ZiMo straightened his body and waved impatiently, "Jin Mu, take Liu Yun to see Liuli."
Jin Mu received the order and immediately took Hu Yan Liuyun out. Wu Chi, as Hu Yan Liuyun's brother, naturally followed suit.
Just then, the waiter brought up the dishes. Unfortunately, as soon as the food was served, many people left. In a short while, only Fu Zimo, Qin Luoyan, and Yun Xiaoying remained.
Fu ZiMo took the lead and sat down, Yun XiaoYing scurried after him. Qin LuoYan hesitated for a moment before walking over, but without Fu ZiMo's command, she didn't dare to sit down. She still remembered that once upon a time, Fu ZiMo had clearly defined the social hierarchy. She remembered very clearly that one time they were sitting at the same table, although there were empty seats, he still made her sit alone at a separate table to eat.
In his eyes, she was nothing more than a bed warmer, unworthy of sharing a meal with him.
Because of the profound significance of this moment, she did not rush to sit down. Instead, she respectfully stood aside, waiting.
Fu Zi Mo saw her standing still, but frowned. "Why aren't you sitting down"
"Your Highness is a noble, I am but a commoner. How dare I sit at the same table as Your Highness" Qin Luoyan answered with her head bowed and eyes downcast.
Fu Zi Mo raised an eyebrow and smiled, “This isn’t something people from your place would do, is it I remember that time when I didn’t let her sit at the same table as me for a meal, she looked so pitifully wronged.”
As it turned out, he remembered too, and he saw the sorrow in her eyes.
Qin Luoyan suddenly felt that she didn't really understand Fu Zimo. At least, before, she thought he had never seen through the grief and resentment in her eyes, but she didn't expect that he had always seen it very clearly.
"You mean that girl from our village She's a bit uncouth, you know. Back in the village, she often suffered because she didn't know proper manners." Qin Luoyan casually said this just to make the story seem more realistic.
Who knew that Fu Zi Mo, upon hearing this, his eyes suddenly turned sharp, "Eating bitter fruit With her temperament, could anyone make her eat bitter fruit That's really rare. Sit down and talk."
"Um..." Qin Luoyan hesitated for a moment, pulled a chair to the side and sat down, a distance of one zhang from the table.
Fu Zi Mo frowned again, "You're sitting so far away, how are you going to eat Come here."
Qin Luoyan's face flashed an unnatural expression, then she pulled up a chair and sat down at the table. However, her confusion grew deeper. She knew herself well enough not to sit with him, shouldn't he be satisfied When did he become so approachable
