To avoid harassment from my brother-in-law, I got married to a wealthy man

After Fu Nanzhou left, Fu Zongze looked at Fu Xizhou, his wrinkled face full of anger, "If you want to continue staying in the Fu family, then don't cause trouble for me, otherwise get out!"

Fu Xizhou didn't care and didn't respond to Fu Zongze. Instead, he bent down and picked up the beads.

Fu Zongze narrowed his eyes. He didn't like this grandson very much in the first place, and now he was too lazy to say any more nonsense, so he simply asked the housekeeper to help him back to the room.

The servants also dispersed, and the noisy third floor returned to silence.

Fu Heng didn't like the eerie feeling of the room, so he also left. But just as he was about to go back to his room, he suddenly stopped, turned around and asked coldly, "What's going on?"

Fu Xizhou responded casually, "Nothing, I just showed Xiaojiu the bones."

Fu Heng's face suddenly changed, and his voice suddenly became as cold as ice, "I'm telling you, be quiet and don't make trouble!"

Fu Xizhou looked at him with a half-smile, "You'll know sooner or later, won't you?"

Fu Heng was silent for a moment. He wanted to say something, but in the end he turned around and left without saying a word.

When Fu Nanzhou returned to Longhu Villa, Lu Xi was downstairs, and Aunt Liu was beside her, dozing off on the sofa.

The sound of the door opening startled Aunt Liu, and she stood up quickly, "Is the son-in-law back?"

Fu Nanzhou nodded and walked quickly towards Lu Xi, "Why did you wake up?"

Lu Xi frowned, "What were you doing out so late at night?"

"Nothing." Fu Nanzhou didn't want her to worry.

Lu Xi said, "You're still lying. What happened to the wound on your face? Did you fight with Fu Xizhou?"

She reached out to touch his wound, but Fu Nanzhou tilted his head slightly and said, "It hurts."

Lu Xi was somewhat dissatisfied and deliberately said harsh words against her will, "You deserve the pain! What are you doing at the old house so late at night?"

Fu Nanzhou handed the coat to Aunt Liu and said, "If we don't teach him a lesson, who knows what perverted thing he will do next."

"Are you the one who's showing him your true colors now? You're the one who's hurt, right?" Lu Xi didn't give him any face at all.

Fu Nanzhou snorted, "It's the same. He's more seriously injured than me."

It's not that he was lying. He was indeed proud of his fighting ability.

Lu Xi frowned even more tightly, and found that he was holding his lower back. She couldn't help but lift up his clothes, and saw that there was a bruise on it. She was immediately unhappy, "Did he kick you too?"

"My father." Fu Manchu said in a cold tone.

"Your dad is so biased. He kicks this place without worrying about damaging it. This is your kidney. Can he just kick it casually?" Lu Xi felt sorry for him and sounded quite dissatisfied.

After saying that, she looked at Aunt Liu and said, "Aunt Liu, you should go to bed quickly too. I won't be afraid when Fu Nanzhou comes back."

Aunt Liu covered her mouth and yawned, then nodded and said, "Okay."

The two of them went back upstairs while talking, and Lu Xi quickly took the medicine box and said, "Lie down."

Fu Nanzhou felt warm in his heart, as if he was being cherished and cared for, but he still smiled and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."

"This is a kidney, this is not a joke." Lu Xi insisted. Now was not the time to show off.

Fu Nanzhou suddenly nodded, "That's right, a man's kidneys will be healthy only if his waist is healthy. If I am healthy, then you will be healthy too."

Lu Xi heard the ambiguity in his words and couldn't help but pinch his waist hard.

Fu Nanzhou cried out in pain immediately, frowned and smiled bitterly, "It hurts, it hurts, wife, can you be gentler?"

Lu Xi loosened his hand, rolled his eyes at him, and said, "Humph, I see you're not hurt, otherwise how could you be in the mood to talk nonsense."

“That’s not nonsense, is it?”

"Still talking?!" Lu Xi glared at him.

After spraying him with some Yunnan Baiyao, Lu Xi treated the wound on his face very carefully.

"What did you get out of asking him? I think you didn't just want to beat him up, right?"

Fu Nanzhou discovered that this little girl was really smart and it seemed like nothing could be hidden from her.

"I didn't get any results from asking him, but I brought his beads here."

As he spoke, Fu Nanzhou took out the bead made of human bones from his pocket.

Worried that Lu Xi would be scared, he did not hand it to Lu Xi, but placed it in his own palm.

Under the light, the bead is crystal clear and appears to be free of impurities. It is hard to believe that it is made of bone.

"Whose is this?" Lu Xi seemed to be talking to himself.

Fu Nanzhou looked solemn, "I don't know yet. But it shouldn't be someone he cares about very much. I can confirm this from the fact that he was indifferent when I pulled his beads off."

Hearing this, Lu Xi frowned instead, "Don't you think Fu Xizhou is a twisted person?

"If this person is very important to him, it is completely understandable to wear the bones of that person on his hand, but it is really strange to wear the bones of an unimportant person on his hand."

Fu Nanzhou sneered, "He has been different from ordinary people since he was a child. No one knows what he is thinking."

"You said he has such a twisted personality, who does he resemble? Although your father is very paranoid, I don't think he has done anything extreme. There must be a reason for his personality. Could he be... like his mother?"

Lu Xi said it casually, but she was stunned after she finished speaking, and suddenly opened her eyes wide, "Any clues about his biological mother?"

Fu Nanzhou's face was as pale as ice, and he recalled a sentence his brother-in-law mentioned inadvertently in the study, "If Fu Xizhou had not been forcibly brought back to the Fu family, perhaps he would not be in this state now."

"It is said that love for one's family extends to his dog. Among you brothers, your father seems to be the best to Fu Xizhou, which means that the woman should be special to your father."

Fu Nanzhou agreed with this point, "Tanya mentioned it before when she and he had a quarrel. That woman does occupy a place in my father's heart."

"But doesn't your father like my mother?" Lu Xi was a little confused.

Fu Nanzhou was also confused.

However, it was already late, and Lu Xi was pregnant and needed to rest well, so he put the bead away and said in a deep voice: "Go to sleep first, and we'll talk about this later."

Lu Xi nodded, yawned sleepily, and fell asleep again.

Fu Nanzhou, however, was not sleepy at all. He held the bead in his hand and looked out the window, as if thinking about something.

Whose bone is this bead?

He always felt that Fu Xizhou's words were meaningful, as if he was hinting at something.

People you know?

Whose could it be?

Is it...

In an instant, he thought of Shen Pingting.

This thought sent chills down one's spine, because Shen Pingting was clearly still alive, so how could her bones appear on Fu Xizhou's bracelet?

**

The next day, Lu Xi and Fu Nanzhou went to Lu Yao's house to pay New Year's greetings and temporarily put the matter of the bone beads aside.

It was my aunt Cao Xiuqin who opened the door, and she didn't look very happy.

"Happy New Year, aunt." Lu Xi greeted cheerfully.

Cao Xiuqin quickly forced a smile and said, "Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Xixi, you're showing your pregnancy."

"Yes, the pregnancy is getting older, so it's bound to show."

Cao Xiuqin looked her up and down. "I don't think you are that fat. Don't you eat much? You need to eat more. Only if you eat more can the baby grow well."

According to the older generation, women have to eat more when they are pregnant. The fatter a pregnant woman eats, the healthier the baby will be and the better she will grow.

But in fact, nowadays we all pay attention to scientific matching. Under the condition of balanced nutrition, it is possible to meet the nutritional needs of children without causing excessive weight gain.

However, Lu Xi did not tell Cao Xiuqin about this. After all, her aunt meant well, and it was New Year's Day, so it would be best if everyone was happy.

Guoguo rushed out at this time, "Aunt, happy New Year to uncle-in-law!"

Lu Xi smiled and said, "Happy New Year, Guoguo."

Fu Nanzhou took out a big red envelope, which looked about as thick as a dollar.

Guoguo widened her eyes in shock. "My uncle-in-law gave me a lot of New Year's money. It's just like what Grandma Liang said. My uncle-in-law and aunt are both rich. They will definitely give me a super big red envelope."
