Chapter 167 The Maids in the Palace Are on Strike (37)
Shen Fanli takes her mother Shen Xiujing's surname.
When she was born, Mr. Dai Sanye was not in Beijing.
Mr. Dai San was doing business in Beijing at the beginning, but he was framed by a villain who said he was blocking someone's way to wealth and wanted to kill him.
That person was in contact with a powerful minister in the court, and Mr. Dai Sanye almost lost his life.
He was later rescued by Shen Xiujing, who used an alias.
Later, the two fell in love and got married in Shangjing. Later, he came to Jiangnan to do business.
After things finally started to improve, he immediately rushed back to Beijing, intending to bring his wife to Jiangnan.
Then I heard that his wife had passed away, leaving behind only a daughter.
He was in great pain. Not only did he feel resentful towards himself for not coming back earlier and leaving her alone in the capital, he also felt a little resentful towards the appearance of Shen Fanli. If it wasn't for giving birth to her, why would Jing'er leave him?
In such extreme pain, he locked himself in the house for two days without eating or drinking.
When he left Shangjing later, he did not take Shen Fanli with him.
He came with a smile on his face and left with a sad face.
He came to Beijing twice more later.
Both times, they wanted to take Shen Fanli away, but because of his previous actions, the late princess naturally did not allow it.
When he left, he left her a gold lock.
When he came for the second time, he was bitten hard by Xiao Song Liao Ye.
She said, "My sister is mine, you are not allowed to take her away."
Later he said to Shen Fanli: "He is a bad guy, bad guys are bad."
Mr. Dai San asked Shen Fanli again if she was willing to go with him, and Shen Fanli shook her head.
She touched little Song Liaoye's head and said, "You should stay in Shangjing, with Aye."
Mr. Dai San thought it would be a good idea for Shen Fanli to stay in the palace. The late princess treated her very well and raised her like a daughter, providing her with the finest food, clothing, housing and transportation, like a young lady. The Qi Palace was powerful and influential and would definitely be able to protect her.
At that time, Mr. Dai Sanye was not yet Mr. Dai Sanye, nor was he the richest businessman in Suzhou.
Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants have the lowest status. It is better for Li'er to stay in the palace than to follow him around and have to please everyone.
A few years ago, the late queen and the late king died one after another.
He went to Beijing again and said he wanted to take people away.
Song Liaoye, who was already the Prince of Qi at that time, had red eyes and drove the man out of the Prince of Qi's mansion.
He didn't see Shen Fanli.
After staying in Shangjing for some time, he finally met someone.
King Qi treated her well and she looked good too.
In terms of dress and temperament, she was no different from the rich girls he had seen before.
That day, Song Liaoye went to see him and he made a promise to him.
He will be good to Shen Fanli and protect her.
He can't leave her.
After thinking about it all night, Mr. Dai Sanye finally left.
Now that his daughter is doing well, he feels at ease.
If anything went wrong, he would definitely take the person away without hesitation.
At this time, Mr. Dai San also never expected that he would meet Shen Fanli in Suzhou City——
his daughter.
Perhaps it was her that I suddenly saw on the street that day.
Shen Fanli looked somewhat like her mother. He hadn't seen her for a long time, so he thought she was his deceased wife.
Dai Jingsheng was picked up by Dai Sanye, who later adopted him as his adopted son.
He has been traveling around the country with Master Dai San, visiting many places, and Master Dai San's fame is growing.
Shen Fanli was stunned for a few seconds, her eyes filled with tears as she stared at the person in front of her. After a long time, she finally moved.
Shen Fanli threw herself into the arms of Master Dai Sanye. Master Dai Sanye opened his arms to catch her and touched her hair.
"Li'er."
Shen Fanli choked up a little, "Father."
"Eh."
"Father."
Shen Fanli lost her mother at a young age, and her father was only a vague figure in her memory. The late princess once told her that her father was gone, but Shen Fanli was unwilling to believe it.
When seeing his father this time, Shen Fanli's emotions were inevitably mixed.
Mr. Dai, who was always tough, softened a little and responded softly, "What's wrong, Li'er?"
Shen Fanli felt the warm touch coming from his father and was almost certain that this was the truth, "It's just a little hard to believe."
"I still have the gold locket you left me. Whenever I think of you and mother, I take it out and look at it."
Third Master Dai touched Shen Fanli's hair and said apologetically, "I am sorry. If I had brought you to Jiangnan back then, maybe we wouldn't have been separated for so long."
"You are now in Suzhou City, but something unexpected happened in Shangjing?"
"King Qi, he..."
Shen Fanli shook her head. "That's not the case. I just don't want to stay in Shangjing anymore. I heard that the scenery in Jiangnan is picturesque, so I came here."
Seeing that the other person didn't want to say more, Mr. Dai San didn't ask any more questions.
Fanli read the information and found that Shen Fanli had been missing his father.
When she was very young, Mr. Dai San said he wanted to take her away and asked her if she was willing. At that time, there was a little Song Liaoye next to Shen Xiaofanli. He almost cried and grabbed Shen Fanli's sleeve tightly.
When she asked about her father later, people around her who knew about Shen Fanli's mother and father said that her father was gone.
Shen Fanli didn't believe it.
Later, Mr. Dai San asked her where she lived now and whether she had enough money. He asked her to move to the Dai Mansion. He wanted to tell everyone that Shen Fanli was his biological daughter.
Be the daughter of the Dai family.
He also asked her if she had a lover.
Shen Fanli did not answer this question.
Seeing this, Mr. Dai frowned, and then another idea came to his mind.
When he adopted Dai Jingsheng as his adopted son, it was with the idea of finding a husband for his daughter.
That boy happened to be one year older than Li'er, so he could take care of her.
He raised Jingsheng and he knew his temperament.
Thinking of this, Mr. Dai Sanye walked to the door, opened it and called out, "Jingsheng."
There were only two servants outside the door, and they asked, "What's the matter, Third Master?"
"Call the men."
Not long after, Dai Jingsheng arrived.
As she entered the room, she said, "Father, Third Master, why did you two call me to reminisce about the past?"
"Do you need me to cheer for you or to hand you a handkerchief to wipe your tears?"
Hearing this, Mr. Dai San kicked him.
Dai Jingsheng dodged very quickly.
Judging from his skilled reactions, he has practiced it all.
Master Dai patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is..."
Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Mr. Dai San changed the subject of his sister and said, "This is my daughter, Li'er. She is my adopted son. You don't have to live in the Dai Mansion. If you want to go out and play, you can ask Jingsheng to go with you."
Mr. Dai Sanye intends to let the two of them have more contact.
I just met Li'er. If she knew that she suddenly had a brother or a future husband, I'm afraid she would find it difficult to accept it for a while.
Of course, as to whether Li'er likes it or not, it depends on the boy's luck.
If it can be done, it would be the best.
We are all family anyway.
Kiss upon kiss.
Shen Fanli naturally didn't know what her father meant by that. She just thought it was his concern, so she nodded and agreed.
