Chapter 144: Li Rongbao rescues Zhaqi Wei Zuolu; Fu Heng becomes suspicious
The madam smiled and said, "Look at what this gentleman said. I am also doing business. I have so many girls to support. Who are you? Even if the king of heaven comes, he will have to pay."
Zhaqi put his hands on his hips and stared, choking and unable to speak: "You...you..."
The madam waved her handkerchief and said, "What? If you can't come up with the money that day, don't blame me for being rude. Come here!"
"Beat these two ungrateful scoundrels to death!"
In an instant, more than ten burly men rushed into the house, surrounded the two men and started beating them up.
At this moment, a man came out of the room next door and stood at the door, shouting, "Stop."
Everyone in the room looked at the newcomer.
"Is one hundred taels enough?" The man put down a silver note, and the madam's eyes lit up: "It's enough, it's enough."
Li Rongbao had Zhaqi and Wei Zuolu brought back to Fucha Mansion.
The Gao family was on guard and could not get anyone in, so they went back and reported the matter to Gao Bin.
Gao Bin delivered the secret letter to the palace overnight.
Gao Xiyue clutched the secret letter and frowned, "Things are beyond our control."
Wei Yingning: "Master, what should we do then?"
"Let's find another opportunity." This is all I can do for now.
At the Fucha Mansion, Li Rongbao sent someone to deliver the secret letter to Su Lian, and he turned and went into the study. At this time, Zhaqi and Wei Zuolu had sobered up, and the palace doctor was treating their injuries.
Li Rongbao asked Zhaqi, "Are you Concubine Yu's nephew?"
Zhaqi nodded: "Yeah, who are you?"
Li Rongbao sneered, "Me? I'm Empress Xiaoxian's father. Who do you say I am?"
Zhaqi screamed in pain: "You are the emperor's father-in-law."
After Fu Heng returned home, he saw that the light was still on in the study and there seemed to be sounds of people talking inside.
"Father, are you there?"
Zha Qi looked at Li Rongbao. Li Rongbao waved his hand to let them stay still. He walked to the door and opened it. "Fu Heng is back. Go and have some rest. I still have some official business to attend to."
Fu Heng's nose was filled with the smell of medicine. He asked, "Is father injured?"
Li Rongbao waved his hand: "No, I just haven't been sleeping well lately, so the court doctor prescribed some medicine for me."
Fu Heng nodded: "Okay, then father should rest early and not overwork himself."
After sending Fu Heng away, Rong Bao closed and locked the door.
Fu Heng returned to his room and asked Tang'er, "Has Father been feeling unwell these days?"
Tang Er shook her head: "No, but the master brought two people back tonight, and they were drunk in the study. Didn't you see them?"
Fu Heng poured tea while wondering what his father was going to do.
"Who went out with father tonight?"
Tang Er said, "The housekeeper brought people with him. As for where they went, I don't know. How about I ask the lady?"
Fu Heng held her hand and said, "No need. Mother won't tell the truth. Tang'er, you're pregnant now, so try to stay away. They haven't let go of my sister's matter yet."
Tang Er nodded and took Fu Heng's arm: "Don't worry, but if Master and Madam keep harping on about the late Queen, I'm afraid it will end up offending the Emperor and implicating the Fu Cha family."
"I tried to persuade them, but they insisted on keeping the position of Queen. Even Su Lian went crazy, shouting all day long that she wanted to avenge her sister."
Tang'er hugged him and comforted him: "I will be with you no matter what."
Fu Heng felt a little comforted when he touched her hand.
"Thank you, Tang'er. I owe you so much."
