Chapter 158: Chapter 158: The Lucky Farmer is at Ease, While the Husband with No Heirs is Busy Pursuing His Wife 18

Fu Huaichu walked steadily, yet the slight trembling of his fingertips had already exposed the turmoil within.

From the first glance he laid on the two children, for some unknown reason, a strong emotion surged in his heart, feeling as if it were a tie of blood from the mysterious Netherworld, or maybe some other cause. He felt an immediate and intense bond with the two exquisitely beautiful children.

“Your Highness, should we send someone to investigate?” An Ying, who had also noticed their master behaving unusually, asked, “What if it’s just a coincidence?”

“First, let’s follow and see,” Fu Huaichu followed Zhezhi and Zheye at a steady pace. “If, back then, she…”

Pain and desolation fleetingly crossed his expression.

The two children looked to be around three or four years old, walking hand in hand, their steps not quick while two servants trailed behind them. Fu Huaichu and An Ying kept their distance, wary of being discovered.

At that moment, Zheye and Zhezhi huddled close together.

Zhezhi thought for a moment, then tilted her head and asked Zheye, “Brother, who do you think those two uncles were just now? When I said they looked like you, both uncles were nervously watching you!”

“Zhezhi, have you ever wondered why we don’t have a daddy?” Zheye sighed with feigned maturity, then went to tug at his sister’s sleeve, whispering mysteriously, “Right now, we only have Mother and no Daddy. Mother has never mentioned Daddy.”

Zhezhi rubbed her hair, thinking for a while before saying, “Auntie mentioned once while changing my dress that Brother and I both have a daddy, but daddy’s identity is not simple.”

“Do you want to have a daddy, Zhezhi?” Su Zheyue looked at his sister. Both were known as child prodigies, yet in terms of personality, he was steadier and often took others’ feelings into consideration, while Zhezhi was gentler and more dependent on others.

The complementary nature of their personalities made the siblings’ relationship especially close.

“I don’t know…” Zhezhi blinked her large eyes, showing a longing as she nodded, then shook her head, “If he’s not nice to Mother, then I don’t want a daddy. But if he can take care of Mother and Brother, then I want a daddy.”

“Brother feels the same way as Zhezhi. If the uncle from before really is our daddy and he’s good to Mother, I’ll like him too. Otherwise, we don’t need a daddy.” Zheye was decisive and the two children stood on the busy street, having formed an opinion about the father they had never met.

Upon seeing the grand entrance of the Su Family estate, they ran back joyfully. The Protector recognized them immediately as the young master and miss, and hurried to have the gate opened, “Young Master, Young Miss, please come in.”

Fu Huaichu, who had followed behind them, looked at the vast estate, which had no signboard. Only extraordinary people could afford to live in such a valuable location.

“Have someone check,” Fu Huaichu commanded An Ying without approaching himself, remaining calm, “Find out who heads this household, everything must be thoroughly investigated.”

An Ying promptly bowed, “Yes.”

Elsewhere, Su Zhiruan kept busy all day and only returned home in the evening.

She applied modern marketing strategies and human resource management to create a linked industrial chain. The storefronts that were already up and running were entrusted to villagers from the Su Family village, who were grateful to her and highly trustworthy.

Apart from that, she recently took an interest in the silk industry, so she became busy.

When she pushed open the doors of the main hall, the first thing she saw were the two children sleeping in disarray.

Zheye and Zhezhi were on the soft couch, one sprawling with arms and legs outstretched, the other half-sitting, half-sleeping, leaning against the armrest.

Su Zhiruan walked over, picked up one child with each hand and prepared to carry them back to bed.

It was at this moment that Zheye sensed her movement and slowly opened his eyes. His chubby face bore a couple of sleep creases, and his consciousness had not quite returned, “…Mommy?”

He reached out for a hug, but the motion was too big and accidentally jostled his sister Zhezhi.

Zhezhi muttered a few times without even opening her eyes. Her little hand began to rub her eyes, and her soft, milk-like voice melted the listener’s heart, “Mommy hug, Mommy hug.”

“Why didn’t you go back to bed to sleep,” Su Zhiruan said as she carried one in each hand and walked towards the inner room, “Mom will take you back now, sleep well.”

Upon hearing “sleep well”, Zhezhi suddenly seemed to remember something and hurriedly forced her eyes wide open, “Mommy, let’s not sleep yet.”

Zheye, who had been half-asleep, suddenly heard Zhezhi’s voice and also abruptly opened his eyes.

“Mommy, do we have a daddy?” Zheye, just waking up and usually pretending to be an adult, was especially clinging to his mother’s embrace. He stretched out his little hand and softly hung onto Su Zhiruan, “Where did daddy go?”

Su Zhiruan had long had an answer to this question, which she gave after the children began interacting with the outside world and asked her about their father. She had told them that their daddy was away on business. Growing up alongside Su Zhiruan and the villagers of Su Family village, the children were accustomed to some people leaving on business trips, sometimes for a few days, other times for a year or longer. They readily accepted this as the truth, but now, Su Zhiruan suspected that Zheye and Zhezhi must have seen or heard something.

“Mom doesn’t know right now either,” Su Zhiruan shook her head and answered truthfully, “It has been a long time since there’s been any news of your daddy.”

This wasn’t untrue; apart from the uncertain news she received today that Fu Huaichu might be coming down to Jiangnan, over these years, she had been running around and had no specific information about what Fu Huaichu, the Crown Prince, was doing.

Sometimes, when listening to her subordinates chatting over drinks, she could generally discern that he had done many good deeds for the country and its people, and much of the court’s power was currently in the hands of this Crown Prince.
