Shengjing Noble

Chapter 671 Deceiving the King

At the same time, the war in the Northern Territory was a great victory, all the tribes in the northern border were wiped out, and Fu Wuyang was about to come back.

And Su Lanyin will eventually return to Shengjing with Lu Wanjun.

Their three brothers were all in Shengjing, so they had to leave.

Lu Yichen no longer goes out and concentrates on taking care of the old man at home. As for Lu Chaoyang.

Su Lanyin decided to take him with her.

……

However, this time when she goes out, she doesn't have to hide anything because the bounty is no longer there.

Moreover, Fu Wuyang didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to look for her.

So Su Lanyin felt that she should be free.

We traveled along the way, stopping and walking, and it was three months later when we arrived in Shengjing.

With the appearance of Lu Wanjun and Su Lanyin, a storm quietly swept through Shengjing, which had been calm.

Xiaoyao Wangfu.

Fu Wuyang was handling military affairs in the study when Xiao Han suddenly rushed in with a panicked look on his face, even forgetting to knock on the door.

"Why are you so reckless?"

"Your Majesty, Lu Wanjun has returned to Shengjing!"

"What if I come back?"

"And the concubine..."

When Fu Wuyang heard the last two words, his expression remained calm, but his fingers holding the military affairs document tightened quietly.

"Isn't Su Lanyin in the Seventh Prince's Mansion?"

"No, we have been trying our best to investigate the Seventh Prince's Mansion over the years, but we have been stopped by Fu Mingchuan time and time again. But in fact, the concubine is not with the Seventh Prince at all!"

Fu Wuyang raised his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "So Su Lanyin left the Northern Territory not to find Fu Mingchuan, nor to be with him? She has never betrayed me?"

That year he encountered an ambush in the northern border, and except for Xiao Han, all the soldiers who followed him were killed.

His life was hanging by a thread, but he still fought with his last breath and fought his way out of the siege with Xiao Han and returned to Snow City.

He thought he would be greeted by Su Lanyin and the two children.

Unexpectedly, she had already escaped.

Shen Ruchu originally wanted to lie to him that the two children were hers, but he exposed her on the spot, so she told the truth.

She said that after Su Lanyin gave birth to the child, she threw the child to her and packed up her things and ran away without mercy.

Later, he heard that Fu Mingchuan was saved by a female doctor. He made inquiries and finally found the village. All his doubts pointed to Su Lanyin.

At that time, he really thought that Su Lanyin abandoned him and the child in order to find Fu Mingchuan.

During these three years, he hated her to the core. If he caught her, he would tear her bones apart and swallow them into his stomach!

However, when he heard Xiao Han say that Su Lanyin came back with Lu Wanjun, he immediately understood.

No wonder he had sent people to stake out the Seventh Prince's Mansion day and night for the past three years but failed to catch any clues about Su Lanyin.

Everything back then was just a misunderstanding. Su Lanyin did not betray her, nor did she choose another man.

Just when he was full of hope, Xiao Han's next words almost made him fall to the bottom again.

"But the concubine seems to have brought back a child."

"What did you say?"

Fu Wuyang stood up immediately, his eyes full of nervousness.

Could it be that she was not idle during these three years, but had children with other men?

Xiao Han quickly explained: "This child is already in his teens. I have inquired and found out that he is Lu Yichen's son."

Fu Wuyang's heart dropped to the ground. He looked at Xiao Han coldly and said to him, "Come here."

"Yes."

Xiao Han hurried forward, thinking he was going to claim the reward, but was hit hard on the head instead.

"Ouch!"

He covered his head and took a few steps back, his face full of grievance.

"My Lord, what are you doing?"

Fu Wuyang cursed angrily: "Next time you try to scare me with your heavy breathing, you will suffer the consequences!"

"Oh...I see."

Xiao Han curled his lips, looking dissatisfied.

He thought to himself, it's because you don't trust the concubine that you have such wild thoughts.

Fu Wuyang sat down slowly, somewhat excited but not daring to act rashly. He nervously snapped his fingers.

"Should I go and fetch her back myself?"

Xiao Han frowned, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Speak!" Fu Wuyang glared at him impatiently.

"Your Majesty... I have something to say. Please don't be angry."

"Don't say anything if you know I'm angry!"

"……oh……"

"Forget it, just go ahead and tell me. I will try not to get angry."

Xiao Han mustered up his courage and said, "It's not a question of whether or not to take the concubine back, but..."

"But what?"

"It's that the concubine doesn't want to come back with you."

"What do you mean?"

"If the concubine wanted to stay with you, she would not have left at that time. She had just given birth. What exactly caused her to leave so resolutely? Have you ever thought about it?"

"she……"

Fu Wuyang was stunned. He always thought that Su Lanyin left for another man and didn't want him or the child anymore.

But I never thought about whether there might be other reasons.

After Xiao Han's reminder, he finally came to his senses.

"So, you think there is a misunderstanding between me and her?"

"Yes! There must be!"

"But...what could be the misunderstanding?"

Xiao Han was speechless.

In other aspects, his prince is impeccable.

But when it comes to emotional problems, it is simply stupid!

"How did you misunderstand that the concubine ran away with another man?"

"...Shen Ruchu!"

Fu Wuyang looked up at him.

"Shen Ruchu lied, deceived this king, and sowed discord?"

"I didn't say that. You said it yourself, Your Highness." Xiao Han lowered his head and pointed at his finger, looking innocent.

He was just a small guard leader and he dared not speak ill of the princess.

Fu Wuyang slammed the table and stood up: "Yes, she has confused right and wrong and made me misunderstand for so long, it's time to settle accounts with her!"

Xiao Han was a little worried. He stopped his master who was about to leave and said hurriedly, "My Lord, don't you know why the concubine refused to accept you?"

"why?"

"actually……"

There were some things Xiao Han didn't dare to say, but seeing his own prince being tortured beyond recognition, he couldn't bear it any longer.

"In fact, I can see that the concubine doesn't care about the title and status. She...she wants respect."

"respect?"

This word was not unfamiliar to Fu Wuyang, but others had always respected him, so he never thought that Su Lanyin also needed respect.

"Don't you think your love for the concubine is a little too superior? This may not be a big deal for other women, but the concubine is not an ordinary woman."

"Does this king...have a high position?"

"No?" Xiao Han asked back.

Fu Wuyang has never seriously reflected on his own problems.

After being pointed out by Xiao Han, he realized that perhaps he had been too self-righteous all along.

He gave Su Lanyin what he thought was the best, but forgot to ask her if she wanted it.

Even when he proposed to marry her, it was the emperor he asked for, not her.

He didn't seem to care whether she was willing or satisfied. He just confidently believed that she loved him, so he insisted on having his own way and forced her to be by his side, and she wouldn't feel any pain.
