The Fulang's Modern Young Husband Chapter 374 Part 4

Uncle Tang heard the commotion and came over. When he saw Gungun and Dandan like that, he knew right away that the two little rascals had crawled into the stoves.

He let out a helpless sigh.

Isn't the bed comfortable enough to sleep in?

Last time, Fang Zichen had said to buy chains to tie them down, and Uncle Tang had stopped him, saying that would look terrible. Now he really shouldn't have interfered.

The two had truly given him a scare.

But watching Gungun and Dandan get spanked and scolded by Zhao Ger, Uncle Tang couldn't help feeling a bit sorry for them.

This was the first time in all these months that Qi Junmu had brought up Shen Yi with him.

They had always avoided the topic of Shen Yi, since the Shen family still had unsettled accounts with Emperor Jing. Bringing him up inevitably meant bringing up Emperor Jing—and no matter what the world said, Emperor Jing was the sovereign, and Qi Junmu's father. There were many things that could not be easily spoken of.

Perhaps both were reminded of their own fathers, and a heavy silence fell between Qi Junmu and Shen Nian.

After what felt like a long while, Shen Nian was the first to snap out of it. He said with proper seriousness, "Your Majesty, regarding what happened that day with Commander Yang at the Marquis Zhenbei's residence, it went like this..."

It was nearly the ninth lunar month now, and the weather was scorching. Xie Xiaoyu and Feng momo had started selling cold drinks in Hezhou again. The profit per sale was small, but with so many customers, the total take was decent—they'd made a nice little sum.

Zhao Ger and Fang Zichen made a trip back to Hezhou during this time to visit Xie Xiaoyu. The Fang residence had been fully repaired. After arriving in Hezhou, Fang Zichen stayed there for two nights before heading to Anhe County, where he'd been busy and "homeless" ever since—no time to come back.

Xie Xiaoyu's belly had grown quite large now. Knowing that he and Zhao Ger were close, and that Li Yisheng was on brotherly terms with Fang Zichen, Feng momo took excellent care of him.

Lin Xiao gave a helpless smile. Though the Emperor said that, he was certain that if Qi Junzhuo hadn't said something to him first, the Emperor would never have had reason to suspect Yang Jinglei out of nowhere.

Yang Jinglei was straightforward and loyal by nature—his words and actions left no easy openings for others to exploit.

With that in mind, Lin Xiao hesitated for a long time before finally speaking up: "Your Majesty, I feel that whether it's Prince Jin or Marquis Zhenbei, Your Majesty should keep some guard up. Not everything they say and do is necessarily for Your Majesty's benefit—everyone in this world has their own selfish motives. In all matters, Your Majesty should consider both sides. Take Yang Jinglei, for example—perhaps someone simply doesn't like him and wants him replaced..."

Old Master Qiu's heart went cold. First the water diversion project, then the bandit suppression—he'd assumed this was an honest, incorruptible official who regarded wealth as nothing more than dirt...

When he got home, he finally understood: building the road was never an obligation for the prefect, nor would the prefect come "begging" them to let him build it. They were the ones who needed to beg him.

But Fang Zichen wouldn't see him.

The villagers kept pressing and making a scene: "We listened to you back then! Now the prefect won't build our road, and everyone's laughing at us—what are you going to do about it?"

The last remark Shen Nian had made—that casual, offhand comment about overstepping—left Yang Jinglei feeling somewhat dazed. In a moment of distraction, he thought back to the very first question the Emperor had asked him in the palace.

The Emperor had said: "Was your journey to Qingzhou smooth?" 

And how had he answered at the time? He had said: Aside from the assassination attempt on Prince Jin, everything else went smoothly. Prince Ping was fairly cooperative along the way.

The Emperor had fallen silent for a moment at that, then moved on to ask other matters concerning Qingzhou.

Chapter 374 

After Old Master Qiu slowly came to his senses, he recalled the harsh words Fang Zichen had left behind before departing. His face turned ashen, and he felt like crying but had no tears left.

A young servant came in to report: "Master, Village Chief Qiu is here."

Village Chief Qiu was the head of Daoxiang Village and also a distant cousin of Old Master Qiu's—they shared the same great-great-grandfather. Thanks to Old Master Qiu's influence, Village Chief Qiu held considerable authority in the village.

The moment Old Master Qiu heard that Village Chief Qiu had arrived, he knew exactly what it was about.
