My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 960: New Sprout of the Tree

When Zhuge Shu heard the housekeeper’s words, he thought he had heard wrongly.

“What?”

” Master is back.” The butler was less than forty years old. He was small, but he was very smart and capable. Zhuge Shu and his wife put him in an important position. However, Zhuge Fu had personally selected the candidate when the Zhuge family first entered the capital. Even when the father and son had left Rouran, the butler had remained in Jiankang and was not affected at all until they returned to Jiankang.

The Zhuge father and son ignored the back residence and handed everything to the butler. After Xie Wan entered the house, the butler took over the affairs of the back residence. The butler was no longer the only one in the house. He did not have any complaints and did his best to help Xie Wan. Just this magnanimity and breadth of mind was highly valued by Xie Wan. She even married the maidservant into his family and became the butler’s daughter-in-law.

“.. And Old Madam.”

The butler thought for a long time and had no choice but to use this more formal form of address.

Although the Ninth Princess of Rouran was not related to the word ” old ” at all, she was still related to her own master. There was seniority there. If that person called her Madam, how could they place their proper Madam Xie?

Zhuge Shu did not come back to his senses for a long time. He hurriedly got up and walked out. After taking two steps, he remembered his brother-in-law beside him.

“Shao Pei, I’m going to pick up my father and brother-in-law. My father is back.”

“Brother-in-law, do you want to go with me?””

Xie Xian smiled slightly.” Of course. I haven’t seen your father for a long time. It’s time for me to welcome him personally.””

As the two of them walked out, Zhuge Shu turned around and asked the butler,”Have you reported to Furen?”

“I went back first, Old Master.”

“Then go and tell Madam to come out quickly.”

Zhuge Shu was at a loss. He was so happy that his brain couldn’t work.

He said that he was going to invite Xie Wan, but he could not care less. He strode out of the residence.

It was not until they left the residence that they saw a luxurious ox cart parked outside the residence, surrounded by more than ten servants…Oh, there were two inconspicuous carts behind them.

“Father!” Zhuge Shu went straight to the ox-cart at the front.

Before he could walk down the steps, Zhuge Fu had already lifted the curtain and got out of the car. Zhuge Shu was stunned at first glance.

Was his father going to revive?

His clothes were too trendy. His hair was tied up tightly in a bun, he wore a jade crown, and his beard was clean shaved. If it weren’t for the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, he really looked like a young man in his twenties.

However, his wrinkles did not make him look old. Instead, they added a sense of calmness to him.

In the words of the emissary from Rouran, the old corn was more fragrant when cooked?

“Why didn’t you come straight into the residence?” Zhuge Shu felt a little sad. This was his father’s own home. Why did he have to wait outside when he entered the mansion? Although it was only right for him to come out to welcome her, it seemed like he was being unorthodox.

Zhuge Fu smiled.” Why? We haven’t seen each other for several years. As your father, I put on airs and asked you to welcome me. Are you not satisfied?””

“No-”

“Thank you, Grand Tutor.” Before Zhuge Shu could finish speaking, Zhuge Fu saw Xie Xian slowly walking out of the residence and down the steps. His own son was so excited that he forgot his manners. He could not just watch as his own family spoke.

“I don’t dare to accept it. It’s my nephew who should be married to my uncle.”Xie Xian didn’t feel proud of his status because Zhuge Fu called him Grand Tutor. He bowed to the end, showing the courtesy of meeting an elder.

“We haven’t seen each other for a few years, but Uncle’s body is still healthy.”

This was not a compliment. Looking at her straight figure, she looked radiant like an old tree sprouting new leaves.

Zhuge Fu laughed and did not comment.

At this moment, the driver couldn’t stand it anymore. He coughed twice and said in a coquettish voice,”How long do you plan to chat for? Do you not want me to go down?”

Before Zhuge Fu could say anything, the Ninth Princess had already come down from the curtain.

Her appearance hadn’t been tarnished after a few years. She was still as beautiful as ever, but her Mandarin was getting more and more proficient, and her strange accent was no longer heard. However, his accent was a little mixed, and he could not tell where he was from.

Behind her was a two-year-old boy with dark skin. One look and it was obvious that he often went out. He smiled at people and looked lively and clever. Her round eyes were like black grapes, just like the Ninth Princess.

“.. Madam.” Zhuge Shu was a little embarrassed.

The Ninth Princess raised her eyebrows.” I thought you would call me Mother.””

Zhuge Fu looked over and the Ninth Princess shrugged.””I’m just joking. Isn’t that what you all call it? If you don’t want to, then forget it.”

“Mother, Mother.” The Ninth Princess carried the little boy out of the car and said,” If you don’t scream, I’ll scream.” She wanted to support her mother.

“This is Shen Lang.” Zhuge Fu rubbed his nose and said,”You’re my little brother.””

Zhuge Shu knew that Zhuge Shen existed. He did not think much of it when he had not seen him before, but when he saw him, he felt a little…He sighed.

Zhuge Fu had never remarried, and the two of them depended on each other. Zhuge Shu was used to it. He had always thought that his biological father did not remarry because he had deep feelings for his mother and that other people could not enter his eyes.

It was only when he married Xie Wan and saw her day and night that he came to a realization.

It turned out that it was not because Father could not forget Mother, but because of him.

Otherwise, there would have been traces of his mother’s existence in his life. Other than his mother’s death anniversary and his father bringing him to pay homage, he rarely mentioned it.

He only knew that if he really loved someone deeply, he would not be so indifferent.

If he imagined the days of losing Xie Wan, he would probably not be able to live another day.

If such a woman used tricks to force him to submit, he would not care about her reputation. What about his own reputation? He did not need anyone to ruin it. He would destroy that person first.

Zhuge Shu finally understood the reasons.

However, it wasn’t as shocking as seeing this old man and young wife face to face. Whether he was happy or not, it was all on his face, on Zhuge Shen’s smiling face. If his parents didn’t love each other, how could they give birth to such a lively and cheerful child who wasn’t afraid of strangers?

Just like his Fu Ji.

.. She was so cheerful that she even started to hug his thigh.

Fortunately, when Xie Wan heard that her father-in-law had returned, she quickly came out to welcome him, breaking the inexplicable awkwardness.

In fact, it was even more awkward.

It was easy to meet her father-in-law. When she greeted the Ninth Princess of Rouran, Xie Wan’s face also showed traces of cracks. He could only call her Madam.

The only person who wasn’t embarrassed was the Rouran Ninth Princess. She crossed her arms calmly and deliberately teased Zhuge Fu. After she glanced at Zhuge Fu, she resentfully shut her mouth and didn’t say the words ” call me mother “.

“Father…Furen, please enter the residence. Coincidentally, it was Xuanlang’s one-month-old birthday today.”

Zhuge Fu nodded with a smile and walked in.

“I’m carrying the baby.” The Ninth Princess of Rouran was straightforward.” I still have one in my stomach. I can’t carry anything heavy now.””
