Reborn as the Crippled King's Beloved-Chapter 91 - Last Life, Father and Brothers Died Because of Her

Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Last Life, Father and Brothers Died Because of Her

Murong Jiu had been planning to settle accounts with Fu Baozhu when, a few days later, Fu Baozhu herself came to visit.

She claimed she was there to see her, but as soon as she arrived at the Prince Mansion, she began searching everywhere for Jun Yuyan.

Murong Jiu treated her nicely, acting as if she was completely unaware while secretly observing Nanny Fan who was with Fu Baozhu.

According to Jun Yuyan, Nanny Fan was originally the wet nurse of Lady Wang and had been sent by Lady Wang to the General’s wife long ago without anyone’s knowledge.

And with her “loyalty,” Nanny Fan had always stayed by Fu Baozhu’s side, so much so that General Fu and others treated her very well, not only paying her a high monthly allowance but also earning her great respect from the servants of General’s Mansion, virtually making her the co-master of the household.

Nanny Fan wasn’t ostentatious; she wasn’t the type to overshadow her master. She always stood behind Fu Baozhu, very low-key.

...

She merely occasionally used eye signals to remind Fu Baozhu what to do and what not to do.

Fu Baozhu seemed to rely heavily on her as well, exchanging many meaningful glances.

Everyone has flaws, and Nanny Fan’s flaw was her love for money.

She had a son, the sole heir for several generations, and her son had only one grandson. But this grandson was lazy and spent money extravagantly. Not only that, but he had also taken up gambling.

The monthly money Nanny Fan received mostly ended up in the hands of her grandson and then flowed into the gambling dens.

The Marquis Mansion also provided her with money, but the circumstances there meant they couldn’t give her much.

According to what Jun Yuyan found out through his investigation, Nanny Fan had also secretly sold many of Fu Baozhu’s treasures.

But over the years, Fu Baozhu had received so many gifts from her father and brothers that she hardly remembered what had been lost.

Murong Jiu already had a plan in mind.

When it was time for Fu Baozhu to leave, she said, “Sister Baozhu, tomorrow the weather will be clear and brisk, how about we go together to enjoy the scenery by Moon Lake?”

Fu Baozhu didn’t expect Murong Jiu to invite her for a leisure outing. Did this mean she was being considered a good sister by Murong Jiu?

But she didn’t really want to go out with Murong Jiu, because her main reason for coming to the Prince Mansion was to see Jun Yuyan. Unfortunately, she had not seen him, which was also why she was planning to return home so soon.

So she asked, “Is the Prince also going?”

“I am going as well.”

Murong Jiu was about to shake her head when suddenly Jun Yuyan’s voice came from outside.

Meeting Murong Jiu’s surprised gaze, Jun Yuyan said, “Coincidentally, I am free from duties tomorrow.”

Fu Baozhu was overjoyed and promptly said, “Sister Princess Consort, Baozhu will definitely be there on time tomorrow.”

“We will be taking a boat to tour the lake tomorrow. It wouldn’t be suitable for you to go alone. If your brothers are available, have them accompany you.”

“They are available, they are! My Third Young Master has been at home these last few days; he can come out with me tomorrow.”

Fu Baozhu was delighted.

Her smile did not fade all the way back.

Nanny Fan, however, always had a bad premonition. She advised, “Miss, the Princess Consort has been indifferent towards you before, and yet now she suddenly invites you to tour the lake. Could it be part of some scheme?”

“Nanny, you worry too much. I’m condescending to seek her out; she should be delighted. Look around the Capital City; who else wants to be associated with her?”

“But the Prince’s attitude is also a bit strange…”

“That just shows the Prince also has a liking for me. He even specifically instructed that my brothers accompany me. Besides, what do you have to worry about? Third Young Master will surely protect me.”

Fu Baozhu cut Nanny Fan off, her expression becoming somewhat displeased.

Nanny Fan could only say no more, feeling she might indeed be overthinking it and that as long as they were extra careful tomorrow, nothing should happen.

Upon returning to the General’s Mansion, Fu Baozhu went to find Third Young Master Fu Han, who naturally agreed to his darling sister’s request.

Just then, Fu Heng, the eldest brother, returned to the mansion and upon hearing about their plans with Prince Ling and his wife for the next day, also agreed to join them.

Fu Baozhu cheerfully went to pick out a dress for tomorrow.

She was intent on dazzling Prince Ling, so that Prince Ling would see her in a new light.

In the Prince Mansion, Murong Jiu gratefully thanked Jun Yuyan.

It had to be said, Jun Yuyan understood her so well. After hearing her invite Fu Baozhu, he had guessed her intentions and even invited Fu Family’s elder brother to facilitate her actions.

“Ah Jiu, you need not thank me. I still have something to tell you, concerning your Third Young Master and your maid named Cui Hua.”

Murong Jiu looked slightly stunned.

Could it be that Jun Yuyan was also reborn? How else could he know about Fu Han and Bai Aoshuang’s relationship?

At that moment, Jun Yuyan explained, “Your maid somehow took a fancy to Young Master Fu. One day when they came to the mansion, she bumped into Young Master Fu’s arms and intentionally left her handkerchief behind, which Young Master Fu hasn’t been able to forget. Later, when we visited the villa, Zhen Zhu took her out and they ‘accidentally’ ran into him several times.”

So, that was it. Murong Jiu almost thought that Jun Yuyan was reborn like her.

“Have the two of them already developed a mutual affection?”

Murong Jiu was surprised they had progressed so fast?

And indeed, with Zhen Zhu stirring the pot, it could be said that Bai Aoshuang was already considered the Second Prince’s person.

Jun Yuyan commented, “Young Master Fu is too naive and easily deceived. I didn’t intervene because I wanted him to suffer a bit, so he won’t be tricked in the future.”

“However…” he hesitated.

“However what?”

“Bai Aoshuang has been speaking ill of Ah Jiu in front of Young Master Fu. I’m not sure if Young Master Fu can see through this. I’m worried it might give him a bad impression of you.”

“We’ll find out tomorrow.”

Honestly, Murong Jiu did not understand the personalities of these three blood-related brothers of hers very well.

But they were like General Fu, loyal and upright people dedicated to the nation; it’s just that their ends in the last life were too tragic.

Bai Aoshuang was the catalyst.

Without Bai Aoshuang, the General’s Mansion wouldn’t have been found with the “evidence” of treason, and the whole family wouldn’t have been executed.

But since the Second Prince wanted to destroy the Fu Family, even without Bai Aoshuang, he would have found another way, though it might have been delayed.

What she couldn’t understand was why the Second Prince, who could have utilized the Fu Family, insisted on annihilating them instead?

Suddenly, in a flash of insight, she remembered Murong Man’s last words, “Poor girl, your father and brothers even sacrificed their lives for you.”

Could it be, they had discovered her true identity and later stood against the Second Prince to protect her, leading to their entire family’s destruction?

Given the character of General Fu and the others, it was indeed a possibility!

Thinking of this, Murong Jiu’s breathing became urgent, her eyes slightly moist.

So, in places she didn’t know about, her father and brothers had also tried hard to pull her out of the Second Prince’s trap, had they?

“Ah Jiu…”

“I’m fine.”

Murong Jiu looked up, her eyes resolute as she spoke to Jun Yuyan, “Prince, I want to take Bai Aoshuang out tomorrow. I need to personally reveal this woman’s true face to my Third Young Master.”

“Good.”

Jun Yuyan nodded.

No matter what she wanted to do, he would always support her from behind.
