The influence of Prime Minister Huang had always lurked in the shadows, and she was unsure of it, which made her hesitant to act recklessly. It wasn't until she saw Fu Tianlin being taken to prison that she recalled a saying: "In matters of officials, there are two sides to every story—one side claims reason, while the other does as well!"
Trying to reason with them was utterly futile! The Fu Family had wealth, and those people, having received hints from Prime Minister Huang, were like parasites draining the Fu Family dry. Thus, she had no intention of reviving Tianxiang Restaurant.
Following Qing Luan's advice, she transformed all her visible power into hidden strength, discarding what needed to be discarded and abandoning what needed to be abandoned, allowing others to mistakenly believe that she had reluctantly given up everything. Once Huang Pinyan had taken control of Jade Pavilion, Ruyi Tower, and Tianxiang Restaurant, he released Fu Tianlin; after all, he was just a small fry and didn't warrant any serious measures.
"Miss Zhu," as soon as Fu Tianlin was released, he was taken away by members of the Azure Phoenix Sect. Since Huang Pinyan was aware of it, there was no need for her to hide; instead, she openly sent someone to pick him up. Upon seeing the calm expression of Zhu Qingluan, he felt an overwhelming sense of guilt; if it weren't for his carelessness, she wouldn't have been dragged into this mess.
"Please sit!" Qing Luan smiled slightly and gestured for Little Luo to serve tea.
"I'm sorry..." After sitting down, the words of apology stuck in his throat. After holding back for a long time, he finally managed to say it.
Hearing his apology made Qing Luan inexplicably laugh. "Hehe, Fu Tianlin, you're quite amusing. This whole situation was orchestrated by someone against you because of me; I should be the one apologizing!" Was this fellow truly foolish or just deeply scheming?
In fact, after partnering with Fu Tianlin for so long, she really didn't know what kind of person he was. She had thought he wouldn't cause any trouble and let him do as he pleased. But now, uncertainty crept into her heart...
Initially frozen by Qing Luan's inexplicable laughter, Fu Tianlin felt a strange sense of relief after hearing her words. He softly said, "You really didn't need to help me. This time, it was my carelessness that allowed them to seize an opportunity and take control of Jade Pavilion and Ruyi Tower!" As he spoke these words, his Black Eyes were filled with deep affection as he gazed at her, silently conveying his feelings.
He didn't know what grievances existed between Prime Minister Huang and Zhu Qingluan, but he understood their irreconcilable animosity. Regardless of the outcome they faced, he would stand by her side unwaveringly.
That fiery gaze made Qing Luan feel quite troubled. She thought herself unromantic and overlooked the depth of feeling in his Black Eyes. With a soft sigh, she said, "Fu Tianlin, you are different from me... You still have the Fu Family; being with me is something you cannot afford!"
She understood the underlying meaning in his words but refused!
"But in the eyes of others, we are already in this together!" At this point, a faint smile appeared on his lips as he felt pleased with his past recklessness.
Had it not been for that impulsive moment back then, perhaps he wouldn't even have the right to stand beside her now.
"This is also the reason I had someone find you today," she initially didn't want to concern herself with the outcome of the Fu Family, but seeing Fu Tianlin's feelings for her, she couldn't bear it and advised, "Fu Tianlin, I don't need anyone's support. If you stay here, you will only become a burden to me. I hope the Fu Family can leave... until I resolve everything and then consider whether to return."
Saying this was somewhat domineering and hurtful, but it was all she could do.
"Leave... The Fu Family has already established roots in the capital; where else could we go?" He was worried about his father and family, so he didn't directly refuse.
She must have thought this through carefully to say it.
"Fu Tianlin," her serious tone was filled with sincerity, her eyes serious as well, "tell me, do you deserve my trust?"
"I do!" he replied without hesitation.
"Good. Take the people from the Zhu Family and those you trust from the Fu Family, get away from the capital, and head north..." This time, perhaps it was a better opportunity.
"North?" Fu Tianlin frowned. He understood the difference between the north and south and said somewhat disapprovingly, "The weather in the north... I'm afraid it's not suitable for the elderly!"
"I'll arrange for the elderly myself. You take those from the Fu Family whom you trust; I'll also make arrangements for the Zhu Family... Once you reach the north, someone will tell you what to do... I can guarantee a more glorious future for the Fu Family, but it must remain confidential!" She initially wanted to send only the Zhu Family, but realizing that relying solely on Zhu Wujie wouldn't work, and seeing how deeply Fu Tianlin cared for her, she thought to involve the Fu Family as well.
Fu Tianlin murmured to himself, feeling that Zhu Qingluan was somewhat exaggerating, but he couldn't change his promise and nodded in assurance, "I can do it!"
He agreed because the Fu Family had no other options left.
With Tianxiang Restaurant closed, other businesses were also affected; it had become an undeniable fact that the Fu Family was gradually fading away. He didn't want to wait until the Huang Family forced the Fu Family into a corner where they would have to beg for survival. Thus, this arrangement might be the best solution.
"Alright, when you return, discuss thoroughly with the Fu Family. Let me know who is willing to go north and who isn't. I will only give you two days... Those who are going will leave first, and those who aren't will stay behind..." Qing Luan's approach became firm and ruthless at that moment.
The Zhu Family was similar; after hearing Qing Luan's arrangements, they basically agreed to leave. However, some servants needed to be dismissed, but since the news couldn't be leaked, Qing Luan would handle the cleanup at the back.
Chen Qingyuan had already gotten married, and Qing Luan did not attend the wedding. After sending her congratulatory gifts due to the incident at Jade Pavilion, she hadn't seen Azure Phoenix again. She knew that Azure Phoenix had married into the Huang Family and didn't dare to act recklessly, so she made no further arrangements for her.
These matters were all secretly arranged. With Qing Luan occasionally mingling with Yun Yiqing in high society circles, she seemed determined to reclaim her position, which kept the Huang Family on high alert. By the time they sensed something was amiss, the Fu Family members had vanished, leaving only a few servants guarding the old residence of the Fu Family, and the Zhu Family was in a similar situation...
"What exactly does Zhu Qingluan want?" Huang Pinyan was filled with confusion after uncovering this information, unsure of her intentions.
"She probably feels threatened and wants to eliminate any worries!" Su Yuanhang speculated with a blink of his eyes.
"The Fu Family has nothing to do with her; does she really need to do this?" Huang Pinyan shot him a glance, thinking that aside from telling her about Zhu Qingluan's past, Su Yuanhang was utterly useless. He had a narrow perspective, flattered others without substance, and couldn't accomplish anything meaningful.
