1000: 459: Arrest Fu Lingxi!
Earth-shattering Change!
“Master, Miss Fulingxi has co to visit,” Zhuang Zhixuan reported as he entered.
Suo Lun was taken aback.
Why would Fulingxi co at this ti?
To rescue Fang Qingyi?
It was unnecessary.
Everyone knew Suo Lun wouldn’t kill Fang Qingyi.
There was nothing to negotiate; Suo Lun detaining him and giving him a rough ti as an outlet for his frustration was enough.
“Let her in!” Suo Lun commanded.
Fulingxi appeared as if reversing in age, her deanor elegant, her aura graceful and exquisitely captivating, every step she took as textbook-perfect in grace.
Upon arriving before Suo Lun, Fulingxi bowed ticulously and said, “Greetings to Your Grace, the Regent Duke.”
Suo Lun asked, “Miss Fulingxi, what brings you here?”
Fulingxi answered, “It’s still about my father’s situation.
Recently, Your Grace has erged victorious and has smoothly weathered the financial crisis.
Now my father’s imprisonnt serves no purpose.
Please have rcy on his old age, Your Grace, and release him!”
Indeed, arresting Marquis FuE was more about venting frustration and inquiring why he went to such crazy lengths with Zhi Li.
There must be so unspeakable secret behind this.
Unexpectedly, such significant events had transpired in the anti that Suo Lun had pushed this matter to the back of his mind.
Upon hearing Fulingxi’s words, Suo Lun couldn’t help but say, “What does Marquis FuE’s case have to do with the recent crisis?
He committed the grave cri of rebellion, which is unforgivable.”
Fulingxi calmly said, “What conditions would suffice for the release of my father, Your Grace?
Please speak freely.”
Suo Lun replied, “It’s simple.
How could soone as crafty as Marquis FuE go mad alongside Zhi Li at the last mont?
There must be an untold reason for not distancing himself.
You just need to tell what reason drove Marquis FuE to madness with Zhi Li?”
Fulingxi shook her head, “There is no reason.
It’s rely being tied too deep, with no way out.”
Suo Lun let out a cold laugh and waved his hand dismissively, “Miss Fulingxi, please do as you wish.”
Fulingxi raised her beautiful eyes and looked deeply at Suo Lun before saying, “Suo Lun, you are my son, and Marquis FuE is your maternal grandfather.”
Suo Lun was puzzled because Fulingxi’s tone was unusually soft and carried a trace of sadness, which was very strange.
Suo Lun retorted, “Did you think of as your son when you put on the brink of death?”
Fulingxi paused for a mont before saying, “Suo Lun, may I say sothing utterly despicable?”
“Hmm,” Suo Lun uttered.
Fulingxi continued, “There’s a saying that contemptibility is the pass of the contemptible, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble.
So, assuming my father and I are contemptible, and you are noble, does that an you should hold yourself to a higher moral standard?”
At this, Suo Lun almost couldn’t believe his ears.
Fulingxi saying such a thing was too…
astonishingly shaless.
Do the people of the Dragon Temple not all appear highly virtuous and saintly on the surface?
Suo Lun challenged, “So you an, as contemptible people, only you are allowed to use despicable ans against ?
And as a noble, I should return evil with good, forgiving everything you’ve done to because you’re my mother and Marquis FuE is my grandfather?
“Yes, that’s exactly what I an,” Fulingxi said, her voice still incredibly gentle and elegant, yet expressing the most shaless sentint in the world.
Suo Lun was truly shocked, truly unable to believe his ears.
Had Fulingxi gone mad?
Was she even abandoning her usual, elegant facade?
Suo Lun, however, cald down and asked, “What would it accomplish if I did so?
Would you show rcy the next ti you strike at ?”
“I don’t know,” said Fulingxi.
“Perhaps, it could warrant a trace of warmth and guilt in our hearts.”
Suo Lun stood up from his seat, approached Fulingxi, and looked deep into her eyes, searching for sothing.
But her eyes were silent, devoid of any fluctuation.
“Fulingxi, I vaguely sense that my refusal this ti will lead to significant consequences,” Suo Lun said slowly.
Then, he shook his head solemnly, “But I’ll still tell you no!
I will not release Marquis FuE.
I am not so noble person, and neither should you expect to return evil with good.”
“Huh…” Fulingxi let out a long sigh, then nodded, “I understand.”
What did she an by that?
Suo Lun had refused, and yet, she seed relieved by it.
“I take my leave.” And just like that, Fulingxi elegantly departed.
Suo Lun was utterly baffled.
It seed as if Fulingxi had co specifically to hear his refusal.
…
Accompanied by Zhen Yan Princess, Yin Zhou’s Fang Qingdi and Ji ngbai went to see Fang Qingzhuo.
Ji ngbai was dignified and reserved, speaking little.
After eting Zhen Yan Princess, she simply perford a greeting and called her ‘Junior Sister,’ saying nothing more.
The sisters’ reunion was cold from Fang Qingzhuo’s side, whereas Fang Qingdi was extrely warm, constantly expressing her longing over the years.
Fang Qingzhuo said coldly, “Speak your mind, don’t beat around the bush.”
Fang Qingdi, though interrupted, did not get angry and softly said, “Sister, father sent to bring you and the children back ho.”
