Chapter 1098 If Everything Is Not Desperate, There May Not Be a Turning Point.

Sima Xi's investigation went smoothly entirely because of Fu Hongda's behind-the-scenes efforts.

Fu Hongda believed that he had a winning chance, so he burned the second house to death and destroyed the first house. The entire Fu Mansion had basically become his monopoly.

Only a third bedroom is in the way.

But Fu Hongshi didn't have any stance, especially after this fire, he was frightened. For several days in a row, he was timid, leaving early and returning late, trying to avoid meeting Fu Hongda.

As usual, Fu Hongda came to the old man's room every day and looked at his father who was lying on the couch with his eyes open but motionless.

Fu Hongda wiped his father's hands and feet carefully, as if he was really fulfilling his filial duty with such concentration.

Mr. Fu's eyes were moving, full of anger, and the edges of his eye sockets were red.

After Fu Hongda wiped his father's hands and feet, he changed his handkerchief and basin of water and wiped his father's face.

The old man's eyes were very resistant, as if he wanted to eat someone. Fu Hongda looked at it and smiled, with a helpless tone: "Father, what's wrong? But it hurts you? Where does it hurt? Just tell me."

Veins popped out on Mr. Fu's forehead, and he glared at Fu Hongda even more fiercely.

Fu Hongda looked at it and narrowed his eyes: "It seems that the father does not want his son to serve you, so why don't you tell me where the son failed to serve you well?"

Mr. Fu didn't speak. In fact, he couldn't speak or move his hands and feet since he woke up. He was controlled by the man in front of him through unknown methods.

"It seems that the father really hates his son, and he doesn't even want to say a word to the son. So who do you want to talk to? Can the son call for you?"

Mr. Fu glared at him even more angrily.

"Eldest brother? Second brother? If it's the third brother, it's okay to say that the third brother should be at the Yamen now. The son can just send someone to invite him. But I'm afraid it won't be easy for the eldest brother and the second brother. My father must have heard about it. The first two On that day, the water ran out of the house, and the fire burned all night, burning the second brother alive, but guess what, father, the person who set the fire was actually the eldest brother! Who do you think could know that it turned out that the most powerful person in the house was the one who set the fire? Is it the eldest brother who hates the second brother? The eldest brother is currently being detained by the Yamen. If the father wants to see the eldest brother, he will have to wait a little longer until he is beheaded at Caishikou. By then, the son will definitely book the best inn on the street for him. Father, you can see clearly."

Mr. Fu's raging anger was all stuck in his head, and his nostrils were swollen. Fu Hongda saw it interestingly. He stood up and threw the handkerchief into the basin. The splash wet half of Mr. Fu's face.

Seeing the old man's embarrassed appearance, Fu Hongda called out the door: "Here comes someone."

Soon Ah Fu came in.

"Give the old man a good wipe and clean him. I'm afraid he will have to lie in bed for the rest of the day. You have to make him lie down as comfortable as possible."

Ah Fu was fine with the first half of the sentence, but was shocked when he heard the second half.

Fu Hongda left after giving instructions. Ah Fu entered the inner room and sighed silently when he saw Mr. Fu's furious but powerless look.

Ah Fu went to wring out the handkerchief, carefully wiped the water on the old man's face, and then looked outside to make sure no one came in, and then whispered: "Everything is not desperate, but there may not be a turning point. This truth, the old man wants to come He knows better than mediocre people like me."

Mr. Fu was stunned and looked at Ah Fu suddenly.

Ah Fu smiled at the old man, leaned forward and leaned into the old man's ear... and whispered...

…

Sima Xi moved very quickly, and with Fu Hongda's help behind his back, Fu Hongmei had already completed the investigation of those old things in just a few days.

After integrating the evidence clearly, Sima Xi began to report to Kyoto.

Now that the emperor is seriously ill, the affairs of the government are jointly managed by the prince, the seventh prince, and the cabinet. Sima Xi knows very well that as long as his report can successfully leave Qingzhou, it will definitely appear on the cabinet table.

When the time comes, Fu Hongmei is afraid that it will all be over.

Fu Hongmei was under house arrest in Fuyin Houya, but he was not a prisoner, at least not officially. Therefore, Fu Hongmei still had the right to see his relatives.

Sima Xi would ask about Fu Hongmei's situation every day. He must know who Fu Hongmei had met, how long he had seen him, and how the guest's expression changed before he entered and after he came out.

Sima Xi tried his best to monitor and control Fu Hongmei tightly, but this kind of blatant snooping was obviously unacceptable to Fu Hongmei.

After scolding Sima Xi twice, Fu Hongmei knew that the matter could not be delayed any longer.

After another meeting with his wife, Fu Hongmei sent Mrs. Su to the door. Mrs. Su looked at her husband with a worried look, pinched her handkerchief and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of the house."

Fu Hongmei patted Su on the shoulder and said in a very light voice, "I feel relieved that you are here."

"Then I'll see you again tomorrow."

Fu Hongmei nodded, hugged the person gently, and then watched Su leave under the gaze of six government officials stationed outside the door.

This was a meeting that was no different from the previous one. The eldest son of the Fu family was temporarily staying in the Yamen, and his wife was worried about him. She had been here every day for three days in a row.

The yamen servant was already numb and did not report this specifically. Unknown to her, Mrs. Su walked out of the yamen gate and did not immediately return to the other courtyard. Instead, she turned around, avoiding pedestrians, and wandered to Liulian Alley.

The wife of a wealthy family, a lady who is incompatible with the women of the city, appearing in such a place of fireworks is really too eye-catching.

Su didn't wander around the main street, but carefully took a long detour while guarding against being followed. Finally, she entered the famous gold selling den in Liulian Alley - Yidianhong.

Su went to the back door, followed the code given by Fu Hongmei, knocked three times, paused twice, and knocked again.

After the last knock, the small wooden door was opened from the inside. A middle-aged man who looked like a tortoise lowered his head and made an invitation gesture to Su.

Su Shi had never seen this person before and said warily: "I'm here to find..."

"Come in and talk."

The suspicious behavior of the other party made Su Shi uneasy, but Su Shi still remembered the purpose of her appearance here, so she didn't dare to hesitate and walked in.

As soon as Mrs. Su entered, the turtle man went out and looked around to make sure that Mrs. Su was not being followed, then he closed the back door and took Mrs. Su to the front yard.

Su Shi followed all the way, and the two walked for about a quarter of an hour, and finally stopped in front of a small courtyard.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Mrs. Su saw a familiar figure. She was stunned and stopped in place.

Xunhong was drinking tea in the courtyard. Hearing the movement outside the door, she raised her eyes and met Su's eyes. She stood up first and said, "I've met Madam."

Mrs. Su stared at her, her eyes tightened, and her expression immediately changed: "Is it you? I knew how he could be willing to divorce you. He really left you outside."
