Chapter 293 Even if he doesn’t feel sorry for you, we do!
Fu Zhiyi shook his head. "Grandfather, do you look down on the grandson you personally taught? Does he not trust himself? Or does he not trust his grandson?"
"As my grandfather would say, I have indeed enjoyed the protection of the Marquisate, so I study hard and strive to improve myself. I also hope that one day I can graduate from high school and enter the officialdom, so that I can contribute my heart and soul to the Marquisate! This is what I should do in return for enjoying the protection of the Marquisate!"
"But my wife has no such obligation! No so-called should! No so-called need! For the past ten years, the Marquis' Mansion didn't protect her or raise her, so naturally she has no right to make any demands! Besides, Zhenzhen has made great contributions to the Marquis' Mansion since she married me and entered it, right?"
"If it weren't for her, how would we have known that the subordinates had embezzled the Marquis's property? Isn't such a contribution enough?"
"Besides, it's only natural for her to exchange her own things for the title of Village Lord! Grandfather, don't forget that she is not only my wife now, but also the adopted daughter of the Lan family!"
"Besides, since she was named the village head, did the Marquisate really not get any benefits at all? It's just not as much as you requested, Grandfather!"
"I say it again, I am a man of the Fu family! Carrying forward the Fu family's legacy, ensuring the continuation of the Fu family's legacy, and providing the next generation with more and better opportunities is the duty and mission of a man of the Fu family!"
"Besides, the matter has been settled. Even if Grandfather still has complaints in his heart, he should not express them! Otherwise, wouldn't it be dissatisfaction with the title of Township Lord granted by His Majesty?"
The last sentence was spoken softly.
But it was like a thunderclap, the old marquis' heart was shocked and he finally woke up completely.
The matter has been settled, and no matter how dissatisfied he is, it will be of no use.
But he was unhappy in his heart, not only because of this incident, but more because he discovered that he had never really understood Fu Zhiyi.
What's even more sad is that he knew clearly that Fu Zhiyi had long been alienated from him and this marquis's mansion.
However, his identity as a descendant of the Fu family bound him.
No wonder he would rather let the Lan family present the credit to the emperor than let the Fu family please him!
I didn’t know whether I was feeling angry, hurt, or both.
Looking at Fu Zhiyi's emotionless eyes, the old marquis laughed out of anger: "Well, well, well! I didn't expect that I would give birth to such a strong-willed grandson! Fine! Aren't you aloof? Don't you want to snatch and rob with your own ability? Then don't go out or see guests before the Spring Examination! Just stay at home and study hard! I want to see what you can accomplish with your own ability!"
At the same time, he called someone in: "Give orders! From today on, the Fourth Master is not allowed to leave the house! The expenses for the past few months have also been stopped! He is not allowed to withdraw money from the accounting office. Let him study at home!"
"Yes——" The person who was called in stood in front of his grandfather and his brother with a helpless look on his face.
What on earth was going on? With such a big happy event happening at home, why did the Fourth Master still make the old Marquis angry?
Fu Zhiyi's face was calm, without any trace of anger at being punished. Instead, he bowed and said, "Since Grandfather has given such orders, I will go back to study. Goodbye!"
The old marquis felt so uncomfortable, as if he had punched something but hit cotton.
I feel so depressed!
If Fu Zhiyi had started to get angry with him, he might have felt better.
But such a calm acceptance made him feel uncomfortable.
I watched Fu Zhiyi walk out calmly until he was out of sight.
Then he sat down dejectedly, feeling lost.
The attendant who was called in asked cautiously, "My Lord, are you really going to forbid the Fourth Master from leaving the house and withdrawing money from the accounting office?"
The old marquis picked up the teacup beside him and threw it at him: "What? What I said doesn't work anymore? Do you need to repeat it again?"
The long-servant nodded immediately and said, "I will immediately tell the doorman and the accountant to go—"
With that, he ran away.
The old marquis was left looking at the mess on the floor of the room and covering his face.
After Lu Zhenzhen looted a large number of treasures from the old lady and returned to Tingtaoju, she was greeted by Fu Zhiyi and the news that Fu Zhiyi was under house arrest.
Even if Lu Zhenzhen thinks quickly, she can't keep up with this development?
What's going on?
He threw the things in his hands to a few maids and asked them to go and register.
Then someone brought snacks and tea. Lu Zhenzhen sat down on the couch and patted the seat next to her: "Come on, tell me what happened?"
Fu Zhiyi obediently walked over to Lu Zhenzhen and sat down. His shoulders and waist, which had been straight, suddenly slumped down.
He held Lu Zhenzhen in his arms, rested his head on Lu Zhenzhen's shoulder, and slowly repeated word for word the confrontation he had just had with the old marquis.
Lu Zhenzhen was initially amused by the old marquis's shamelessness.
But later, when Fu Zhiyi heard that he asked the old marquis if he had not made any effort to find the medicinal ingredients over the years, he became angry.
Damn! She said that the old marquis and the old lady's so-called partiality towards the third wife was too superficial.
Isn't this pure bullying?
He hid the fact that the third master of the Lan family had been poisoned and had long been infertile.
On the one hand, he gave Fu Zhiyi hope, but on the other hand, he didn't bother looking for the antidote or the medicine.
No wonder there has been no sign of the antidote after so many years!
If we look for it this way, unless the medicine becomes a spirit and pops out, it will take forever to find it.
Looking at Fu Zhiyi again, Lu Zhenzhen really felt pity for him.
How pitiful! To have such a group of family members with ulterior motives, and even my own grandfather who I always thought was partial to me!
Really, what else can it take to become evil?
Lu Zhenzhen suddenly empathized with Fu Zhiyi, the character who played him later in the book.
Lu Zhenzhen touched Fu Zhiyi's chin lovingly and rolled up her sleeves: "Get out of the way, I'm going to find the old marquis!"
He looked murderous and ready to settle a score.
Her man has suffered so much for her, she has to stand up for him!
No matter whether she can get back at him or not, she has to go!
Fu Zhiyi chuckled, feeling that Lu Zhenzhen's appearance at the moment was so touching that he wanted to hug her tightly in his arms, hold her into his bones and blood, and become one with her, never to be separated again.
He put his arm around Lu Zhenzhen's waist and asked, "How are you going to help me?"
Lu Zhenzhen said sternly, "I know that if I go to the old marquis, besides venting my anger and angering him, there's no other way for me to do that! After all, I can't beat him up to vent your anger, right?"
"But even so, I still want to support you! I want to tell the old marquis that you are not alone! You are your wife's beloved husband, and your mother's beloved child! Even if he doesn't feel sorry for you, we do!"
