Master Fu’s Prideful Wife
Chapter 112: Only incompetent men will use marriage as a bargaining chip for power
The imperial capital, the Fu family in the east of the city.
The Fu family is a wealthy and powerful family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
From the beginning of several generations to the present, he has become a master who straddles black and white and no one dares to provoke him. No matter which path he is on, his status is always at the top.
There are twelve families in the Fu family, and the four major families in the imperial capital are among them. Just like the relationship between superiors and subordinates, each family is in charge of the wealth and power divided from the Fu family. from.
And under the twelve houses of the lower seat, there are other houses and halls, just like the ancient emperors divided the princes, layer by layer.
But the difference is that the Fu family has absolute power and has the power to control the overall situation. The power extends to all continents and is famous on the continent.
Hundreds of years of ups and downs did not destroy this family. Instead, the waves washed away the sand, and the rest was golden gold.
Enterprises under the Fu family's name are all over the continent, but they are also the overlords of the underground world that no one dares to provoke.
And this imperial capital of the G country was the birthplace of the ancestors of the Fu family. The current Fu family head, Fu Dingfeng, took the Fu family back to the imperial capital after he took over as the head of the family.
To the east of the city is Fu's Manor, covering an area comparable to that of a small city.
From the beginning of the imperial capital city to the east, only special vehicles are allowed to enter and exit. This straight road leads to the manor at the end.
From the entrance, there are lush trees on both sides of the road. The trees that have grown for hundreds of years can still be covered with green and lush green even in this late autumn season.
After driving for about five minutes, the car has a wide field of vision, with green lawns on both sides, stretching all the way to the huge castle at the end.
Fei Ran sat in the co-pilot as usual. Today, the old man made countless calls, and the young master planned to come back.
Even if the young master agreed, he did not arrive at Fu's door until this point.
The entire castle has a total of 99 rooms, four floors, the first floor is used as a reception room, a hall, an underground wine cellar, etc., and the upper part is the owner's room and some personal servants' rooms.
There are two fountains in front of the main entrance of the ancient castle. Angels of different shapes carved in white marble stand in the middle. Lights are installed under the gushing water column, and the water column is refracted.
The noble aura that emerges from the invisible is compelling.
The black car stopped, and the servant at the door stepped forward, opened the door and bowed ninety degrees.
"Little Master."
Rover came out of the door, saw the man who got off the car, and nodded slightly, "Little Master, the old man is waiting for you."
Today, the Fu family's children will all come back for dinner, as ordered by the old man.
As a result, only Fu Yuxiu didn't come back at the entire table, and the old man didn't say anything even though he felt uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the young master is back at this time, and the rest of the Fu family are still there.
The man didn't speak to him and walked into the hall with a relaxed pace.
The ceiling of the entire hall is fifteen meters high, and above the dome are pictures carved by early artists.
The pure handmade carpet made of dark red and gold threads is soft when stepped on it, and precious antiques from various countries and dynasties are placed from the door of the living room.
It may be a top treasure in other homes, but when it comes to Fu's home, it's just as ordinary.
The round reception sofa can accommodate dozens of people, and the square inch of Yunjin on the sofa is worth the price of gold.
At this moment, Fu Dingfeng was wearing Zhou Zheng's black suit and sitting in the middle of the sofa. His almost white hair was meticulously combed. The seventy-eight-year-old old man looked bright and full of energy.
He wore a pure white jade wrench on his thumb. The old man raised his hand and placed a crystal cup with tea soup on the table.
Two fruit bowls were placed on the black crystal coffee table, and the rest of the people seated also had crystal cups of the same style in front of them.
Fei Ran followed Fu Yuxiu into the living room and stood honestly behind the man.
In addition to Fu Dingfeng, the brothers and sisters of the Fu family were also seated on the sofa in turn. Fu Yuheng, who was sitting on the right hand, was handsome and handsome, and his appearance was five points similar to Fu Dingfeng.
On the left side of the old man sat a girl in a light blue long dress. She had a unique puff sleeve design on her cuffs, long black straight hair, and drank tea with her head down.
Before Fu Yuxiu could call someone, Fu Dingfeng took the lead, "Are you willing to come back?"
Fu Yu straddled his long legs and sat on the left side of the old man with no one, "You didn't tell me to come back."
Fu Zhiqing next to him stood up cautiously and greeted Fu Yuxiu, "Third brother."
"Yeah." Fu Yuxiu agreed.
"Don't be late for dinner in the future, this is the minimum rule." The old man said.
Fu Han raised his hand and pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, coaxing the old man with a smile, "Yu Xiu may have been delayed by other things, he has just returned to the emperor not long ago, and there must be a lot of things to deal with. "
Gu Shulan next to her also echoed her husband's words, "Yes, father, don't be angry. After all, the children have grown up and have their own things to do."
After hearing Gu Shulan's words, Fu Zhining snorted coldly, lowered her head and carefully fiddled with the newly made crystal armor without speaking.
Rover put the exact same cup on Fu Yuxiu and stood safely behind the old man.
"Since you have come back from Ningzhou, you should learn to manage some of the business at home. From tomorrow, the north will be yours." Fu Dingfeng said suddenly.
Fu Yuheng, who had been silent for a while, raised his head with a cold expression, "Grandpa, Yu Xiu has just returned. He should be given a good rest for a while. There is nothing serious in the north, so there is no need to send someone over so quickly."
"As a member of the Fu family, this is something he must learn." The old man said.
Fu Zhining looked at the old man and was a little dissatisfied, "Grandpa, last month's chaos in the north was handled by the elder brother. Now that everything is calm, you have to hand over the north to him. I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
"What do you know, don't talk to the girl's family." Fu Dingfeng said unceremoniously.
Fu Yuheng glanced at his sister and motioned her to stop with his eyes.
Fu Zhining bowed her head in dissatisfaction, but she didn't dare to get angry or say anything.
"Everything follows Grandpa's arrangement."
"Big brother." Fu Zhiqing whispered.
Fu Han glanced at Fu Yuxiu who hadn't joined this topic from beginning to end. He sat there like an outsider and didn't seem to care about them.
"Then the north will be handed over to Yuxiu from today, and some remaining problems will be dealt with in three months. Can you do it?" The old man looked at Fu Yuxiu.
The man's knuckles were slightly curved, and his fingers as white as porcelain bone held the crystal cup and took a sip.
"Why should I help you take care of the north side?"
This is said in an understatement.
Rover, who has always been expressionless, was surprised, the young master is really not playing cards according to common sense.
The old man properly wanted to distribute the power over Fu Yuheng to Fu Yuxiu, but the young master didn't seem to care much.
Although the Fu family's patriarch is still in Fu Dingfeng's body, the old man is old now. The entire Fu family's direct descendants are the two grandsons, Fu Yuxiu and Fu Yuheng. In the future, the patriarch will definitely be passed on to one of them. of.
Before the old man has decided on a candidate, it is natural to see who is more capable. Fu Yuxiu is different from Fu Yuheng. He has not grown up in Fu's family these years, and his reputation in Fu's family is much weaker than that of Fu Yuheng.
Moreover, Fu Yuheng has helped to take care of the Fu family these years. Although there are no outstanding achievements, many people in the Fu family's name agree with this young master.
As soon as the young master came back, the old man gave him the north side. He also wanted him to gain a firm foothold in the Fu family. For the position of the head of the family, the old man always supported his grandson to fight.
The things that are at your fingertips will last longer than the things you strive for.
"You are the child of the Fu family, and now you have arrived in the imperial capital. Naturally, you will take care of these things." Fu Dingfeng was not angry, and said this sentence in the same tone as usual.
Fu Yuxiu threw the cup back on the table, "I'm not interested."
Fu Zhining sneered, really pretending to be thorough.
Pretending to look like he doesn't want anything, in fact, he is indulging in his own desires, holding the old man tightly.
"Even if you don't like it, you are still the child of the Fu family, my grandson. Tomorrow Rover will give you all the information and data, and work hard." The old man turned a deaf ear to his words.
He knew what his grandson's temperament was. He was never someone who could be manipulated at will. If he hadn't carried the oath to his mother, he would never have stepped into the Fu family again.
"Yu Xiu, if you have any questions, you can ask me. The situation in the north is very complicated. I will arrange for someone to accompany you when necessary." Fu Yuheng looked at his brother and spoke like an ordinary brother.
Everyone could hear the indifference and distance.
"I heard that you ran into the Ning family as soon as you came back?" Fu Dingfeng asked.
The entire imperial capital's affairs could not be concealed from the old man's eyes, let alone the affairs of the Ning family.
Since that night, all the casinos under the Ning family's name have not opened for business for five days. Ning Muzhang brought someone to the old man's side.
"It's just a small punishment and a big admonition." Fu Yuxiu replied.
Rover also sent people to inquire about it. The intoxicated person said that it was because Ning Muzhang tried to attack Fu Yuxiu's people and was punished.
As for who he is, the other party only said that he was a bright young man with good looks.
"The Ning family has been keeping their guard up all these years, so the punishment is a bit heavier," Fu Yuheng said.
From the dialect, 90% of the entire imperial capital and even the casinos in country G belonged to the Ning family. If they were ordered to stop, the loss of the Ning family would not be small.
That's why Ning Yeqing brought gifts to the Fu family to ask to see the owner. Even though this Fu Yuxiu didn't have a high sense of presence in the Fu family, he was still the young master.
The Ning family had to listen to his words.
"Grandpa, otherwise you should withdraw this punishment." Fu Yuheng persuaded.
Fu Dingfeng put down the cup in his hand, and Rover stepped forward to fill it up.
"If there are no rules, a circle cannot be formed. The only son of the Ning family's temperament should really be tempered, otherwise, there will be endless troubles in the future."
Hearing Fu Dingfeng's meaningful words, Fu Yuheng didn't speak again.
The old man made it clear that he wanted to protect Fu Yuxiu, no matter how much he said, it was useless.
"How are the preparations for next month's engagement banquet?" Fu Dingfeng turned to look at his daughter-in-law next to him.
Gu Shulan nodded, "Everything has been connected, Duke Angsu's reply was very fast, and the specifications of the engagement banquet have been set."
Next month will be the day when Fu Yuheng and the daughter of Duke Angsu of country L get engaged. The Angsu family is the pure royal blood of country L, and the duke also has only one daughter, who is extremely fond of him and is about the same age as Fu Yuheng.
This marriage was decided as early as 30 years ago, and after calculating the time, it should be almost time for the Fu family to marry a bride.
"Next week, Princess Angsu officially enters Fu's house to wait for the engagement banquet. During this time, Yu Heng, you have to take good care of her." Gu Shulan said.
Fu Yuheng nodded, this marriage was ordered by Fu Dingfeng himself, and the other party was also a distinguished and distinguished wife, so he was the perfect wife.
"You are planning the engagement banquet with your second aunt these days, and you should go out less." Fu Dingfeng looked at Fu Zhining and said.
"Okay." Fu Zhining nodded obediently.
The old man looked sideways at Fu Zhiqing on his left again. The two granddaughters were completely different. Fu Zhining was always arrogant and self-willed, and he didn't know how high the sky was.
However, Fu Zhiqing has a very low sense of existence in the entire Fu family. He looks as gentle as a small jade, but he is too shy and timid. No matter what he does, he is timid, and his voice does not exceed 60 decibels.
"Okay, you all leave, I'll talk to Yu Xiu." The old man raised his hand and waved the crowd away.
Fu Zhining got up, lightly shook the folds on the red dress, raised her hand and stroked her long wavy hair and walked out.
Several people also went out one after another, and Fu Yuheng looked back after taking two steps.
The old man and Fu Yuxiu were sitting very far away. Even if this grandson was not by his side all these years, the old man thought about it.
They are clear about this.
The Fu family has a huge family, and the lineage of the Fu family is also intricate. The four children sitting here were born to three women.
Fu Dingfeng had a total of two sons. The eldest son, Fu Yuan, died young. He died in the seventh year after he became the head of the Fu family.
The second son, Fu Han, was not suitable for running the family business since he was a child. Instead, he liked to dance and write. He was an excellent calligrapher and painter, and he and Gu Shulan had no children in their entire lives.
Compared to his younger brother, the deceased Fu Yuan had a prosperous heir and had four children.
Fu Yuheng and Fu Zhining were born to Fu Yuan's first wife. Five years after that woman died, he brought back Nan Jinxiu and gave birth to Fu Yuxiu.
As for Fu Zhiqing's mother, compared to the first two, she didn't have any status or pet, she was just a servant of the Fu family. After being defiled by the drunk Fu Yuan, she gave birth to Fu Zhiqing, and the child was kicked out after the child fell.
Unlike the other three children, Fu Yuxiu endured more. After Nan Jinxiu died that year, the seven-year-old Fu Yuxiu left the Fu family covered in blood.
No one knew where he went, and no one could find him.
The old man also deliberately concealed it. Just when outsiders thought he was dead, the twenty-year-old Fu Yuxiu appeared in the imperial capital and returned to the Fu family again.
Compared with the three children raised by his side, the old man must have more patience when dealing with Fu Yuxiu.
In the entire hall, only Fu Yuxiu and the old man were left, as well as Rover and Feiran behind them.
Fu Dingfeng asked someone to brew a pot of tea for him again, and the good Dahongpao, as well as the tea set in front of him, were replaced.
"I heard that you fell in love with a girl in Ningzhou. Did you bring it back this time?"
Fu Yuxiu didn't answer and waited calmly for the old man's next words.
"Your eldest brother's fiancée is the only daughter of Duke Aung Su. After the king of L country suffered a stroke five years ago, the entire power of L country is in the hands of Aung Su. He is a veritable regent. Once the king dies, he will You should see the stakes in being the next king."
The combination of power and power is a common method used by all aristocratic families to expand and consolidate power, and it is very common.
"I heard that the girl is the child of Ningzhou Mu's family."
"No." Fu Yuxiu vetoed.
Although that girl always looked indifferent and didn't care about anything, the Mu family and her were always mortal enemies.
The Mu family's surname is not worthy of being placed on her head.
"No?" The old man looked back at Rover.
The Fu family's intelligence network is also second to none. The investigation has never been wrong, but this time it went wrong.
"Some old things can be nostalgic and valuable as time goes by, but some ideas are not suitable to keep forever." Fu Yuxiu chuckled softly.
Of course, Fu Dingfeng could hear the sarcasm in his words, "You are still young, and some things can't be seen until you are old."
After listening to the old man's words, Rover stepped forward and spread out the thick stack of documents.
"These are the daughters of aristocratic families in Continent H. There are also a lot of royal power and nobles, and the models are all top-notch. After Yu Heng's marriage is decided, yours should also be put on the agenda."
Fu Yuxiu leaned back and stretched out on the sofa lazily, but he didn't even move his eyelids, and he didn't even glance at the documents handed over by the old man.
"Your wife's background will be more helpful to your future career, which is more important. Grandpa hopes you can distinguish clearly."
Fu Dingfeng's idea was indeed considered for Fu Yuxiu from the actual point of view.
But the man on the other side was naturally rebellious and would never listen to anyone.
"Only a man who is incompetent would want to exchange his marriage for power." Fu Yuxiu looked at the old man and said, "I'll leave it here for you today, don't disturb her, otherwise I won't do this again. I listen to you well."
Watching the grandson get up and leave, the conversation naturally broke up unhappily.
Rover was a little hesitant to speak beside him. He had already told the old man that it would not work.
"This child didn't grow up in Fu's family. In a small place like Ningzhou, it probably limits his vision. For a woman, it's not worth it."
Rover had some doubts, "You decided the marriage of the eldest young master, and the background of the princess is absolutely strong, but you are planning a marriage for the young master at this juncture, aren't you picking on something?"
In her birth, Fu Yuheng's mother was Fu Yuan's first wife. Naturally, she had a good family background, but she died after giving birth to Fu Zhining.
Nan Jinxiu's background is much weaker than that of the former mistress of the house. In addition, her temperament is weak, and she has never had a wedding with Fu Yuan and has no official status, so few people in the Fu family can see it.
"I will retire one day. The position of the head of the Fu family is reserved for the capable ones. If they want to earn or grab, they should stand on the same starting line."
Rover unceremoniously pointed out the truth, "But the young master seems to have no interest in the position of the head of the family."
Furthermore, how much Fu Yuxiu was bullied secretly in the Fu family back then, and he was able to come back now was because he had to come back because of the oath he made to Nan Jinxiu.
The old man is thinking too much.
"No matter how interested he is, he is also the child of the Fu family, and I can see that his talent is higher than Yu Heng, and it is more suitable for him to be the head of the family."
But Fu Yuxiu's background is already lower than that of Fu Yuheng. If his wife can't give a strong support, there will be a lot of dissatisfied voices below.
Rover also knew that he couldn't beat the old man, so he stopped talking.
"When will you bring that girl back to me to see."
If it is really a hidden danger, you have to consider how to deal with it.
Some things are best dealt with when they first appear.
Fu Yuxiu took Fei Ran out of the hall, the moonlight shining brightly on the ground in the distance, and the scenery in the distance could be seen.
"Yu Xiu." Gu Shulan walked over.
Because her husband, Fu Han, likes to dance and write, she also wears a retro style, wearing a moon-white slim-fitting cheongsam.
There is a blue lapel fur on the outside, which looks extravagant.
Fu Yuxiu stopped and looked at the woman walking in front of him.
"The clothes you are wearing are too thin. The sky in the imperial capital is not as spring-like as in Ningzhou. It is almost winter, so you should wear more."
Fu Yuxiu nodded, giving her a response.
"I knitted this by myself, four of you brothers and sisters." Gu Shulan handed him the blue box.
Fu Yuxiu reached out and took it. In the box was a black scarf, which was very delicately woven. It was not something that ordinary craftsmen could compare to.
"Thank you."
Gu Shulan smiled lightly, "You have lost some weight, you should pay more attention to your body."
Fei Ran knew Gu Shulan, and he was one of the few people that the entire Fu family was willing to talk to, just because Gu Shulan and Nan Jinxiu used to be close friends.
During the time when Nan Jinxiu was going crazy, Gu Shulan was also there.
When the Fu family bullied Fu Yuxiu, it was also Gu Shulan who would stand in front of the little boy and block him.
No one's heart is always cold, and even after being warmed, they will remember the source of that light.
"Aren't you resting at home today? Your grandfather always misses you." Gu Shulan said.
"I still have some things to deal with."
Gu Shulan smiled and turned around with the servant, "Then I won't disturb you."
When returning to the city center, the man looked out the window sideways, and suddenly opened his mouth after posing.
"What's the date today?"
Fei Ran thought for a while and answered truthfully, "No. 17."
The man subconsciously rubbed the corner of his shirt with his fingertips.
On the 17th, there are still three days left.
