Chapter 130 The Frustrated Fang is Ill
"You know about Nanfeng too?"
"I don't know, I'll listen to my master."
“Wu You, tell me, I saw my father’s body with my own eyes and buried him in Xueyu Town with my own hands. It can’t be fake, right?”
Fang Duobing looked at Wu You, determined to get an answer.
"Hearing is unreliable, but seeing is not necessarily believing."
"I understand."
"Fang Duobing, if, and I mean if Shan Gudao really hadn't died, what would it be like if the two of you met?"
"That should be..."
"It won't be a scene of filial piety, with the father and son embracing and weeping."
"Nanfeng, what are you talking about? How can it be impossible?"
Fang Duobing was a bit overwhelmed; he'd never seen anyone like this before.
"How could that be?"
Wu You continued.
"What I'm saying only represents my personal opinion. Take you for example. Although Shan Gudao was your uncle, we didn't meet often, so there wasn't much of a relationship between us. We only knew that he existed."
"Later you found out he was your father, and you also found out he indirectly caused your mother's death. I imagine your feelings for him are complicated and hard to explain."
"That's exactly how I felt when I found out."
"However, the child still has some affection for his father, but after all, the man is dead, and that feeling is limited there, though it's better than the role of his uncle."
"That's right, that's right."
"However, the sudden news that Shan Gu Dao is not dead must have been a rather unexpected surprise, and he probably didn't know how to face it for a while."
"Uh-huh."
"Have you ever fantasized about a loving father and a filial son? But don't you think about it? If Shan Gu Dao really didn't die, it's because you didn't know he existed, not because he didn't know you existed. In all these years, he hasn't come to see you even once."
"Yes, I haven't come to see it even once in the past ten years."
"Moreover, and more importantly, you don't know which of these rumors are true and which are false. Did Shan Gudao plot to cause Li Xiangyi's death in the East China Sea, or did Li Xiangyi harm Shan Gudao to save face?"
"You're right, Wu You, what should I do?"
"Why think so much? There's always a way out. Go back, wash up, and get some sleep. Tomorrow will be another beautiful day. One is your master, and the other is your father. Just decide which side you want to stand on."
Wu You elegantly finished the last piece of pastry, took a sip of tea, and wiped her mouth.
"You've all eaten enough, it's time to go back. Let's go."
"Oh."
"Yes."
At night, Fang Duobing drank alone in front of the Lotus Pavilion.
Li Lianhua came out of the Lotus Pavilion and said, "Fang Xiaobao, that's enough. Drinking too much is bad for your health."
"Li Lianhua, flower, you've come."
Fang Duobing was drunk and his speech was slurred.
"Judging from the looks of it, you really drank quite a bit."
"Li Lianhua, tell me, which one is true?"
"What do you mean, which one is real or not?"
"What was said at the tea party today was whether Li Xiangyi was cold-hearted, causing discord among his fellow disciples, or whether Shan Gudao was narrow-minded, vicious, and deliberately framed. You tell me, which one is true?"
"Maybe it's all true. They used to be very good relatives."
"Why did they end up like this? Did they later discover they had a blood feud and then turn against each other?"
"Oh, we haven't found out yet. No, Fang Xiaobao, think about it. Your father is forcing you to marry a princess, and your mother has cut off your source of income. Let me ask you, do you hate them?"
"of course not."
"That would solve it, wouldn't it? But time changes people's hearts."
