Chapter 103: Chapter 102 Who Does She Resemble? (Second update, please vote)

"Yes," Fu Zhen nodded, "I want my father to leave the capital city. I would like to ask General Pei if you could help arrange a position for him elsewhere?"

Pei Zhan maintained the posture of holding a cup, not moving for quite some time. "Why?"

Fu Zhen sighed and sat up straight, saying, "Of course, it’s to eliminate future troubles. Regarding last night’s incident, I believe Li Jiang and Li Huai have reported everything to you. General, you must also be aware of the true situation of the Fu Family.

"My father, being manipulated by my mother like this, was forced to sign the divorce papers and move out of the Fu Family. But as long as they remain in the capital city, they won’t settle down.

"Especially since he’s an official, and my mother is a merchant; he’s a man, whereas my mother is a woman. It’s incredibly easy for him to secretly cause some trouble and make things difficult for the three of us.

"If it were someone else... he is my father, after all. I’m always somewhat restricted in how I can deal with him. By allowing him to leave the capital to become an official elsewhere, it doesn’t harm him and greatly benefits us. Only in this way can we prevent troubles from the Fu Family."

How could the Fu Family easily accept this outcome?

— Even though Fu Jun might have some introspection, the old lady of the Fu Family certainly does not! Having lived lavishly for decades, she almost believes that Mrs. Ning’s entire fortune belongs to her alone. To lose it all suddenly, how could she adapt?

How could she not come up with some nasty ideas to cause trouble, and Fu Zhen would change her surname!

Furthermore, this divorce of the Fu Family will definitely spark many rumors. Although the culture of the Great Zhou is open, such divorces aren’t everywhere, especially since he is a government official. Gossip will soon spread throughout the streets.

If Fu Jun stays in the capital city, it will be awkward for everyone involved. At that time, while Mrs. Ning is managing business and needs to go out for inspections, won’t people point fingers as soon as she steps outside?

Moreover, with Mrs. Liu and her four sons knowing about the divorce, Mrs. Liu will likely try every means to reconcile with Fu Jun — after all, they’ve had over a decade of relationship. Her affairs with someone else shouldn’t deal a fatal blow to Fu Jun, should it? He knew what kind of person she was from the beginning.

As for those three children, they might not be someone else’s. Even if they aren’t all Fu Jun’s, at least one or two might be his, right?

Women living in the deep quarters don’t have many opportunities to sneak out frequently. Three or five times would already be considered a lot.

Fu Jun has already lost Fu Zhen and Fu Jia. Having children again is something for the future. Presently, Mrs. Liu still has his own flesh and blood. How could he not be moved?

In conclusion, only if Fu Jun leaves the capital can the root of trouble from the old lady of the Fu Family and Mrs. Liu follow him out. Since Pei Zhan is willing to lend a hand, Fu Zhen might as well ask him to see it through.

Pei Zhan looked at Fu Zhen for a moment and said, "If he weren’t your father, what would you do?"

"If he weren’t, then I would definitely—"

Put him in a sack, stab him, whatever worked!

But in front of this righteous government official, Fu Zhen would have to be insane to voice such thoughts!

She chuckled, "I would just leave it and report to the authorities!"

Pei Zhan would believe her words as much as a ghost!

Look at her cunning demeanor, animatedly speaking, dressed as a lady with her hairpin and dress, yet her actions resemble someone in martial attire, no restraint at all, truly appearing—

A name was about to escape his lips!

A face suddenly flashed before his eyes, his hands trembled abruptly, and the words stopped at the tip of his tongue.

He shook his head and immediately looked across at her again — she was still sitting there with her bright eyes, skinny, her features delicate, completely unlike the figure in his mind.

"Would General Pei be willing to help me?"

Seeing him silent, Fu Zhen pressed on with the question.

Pei Zhan slowly inhaled until the heavy feeling eased a bit, then he said, "I thought you wanted to ask something for your brother. I didn’t expect you to want to drive your father out of the capital; you actually hate your father so much."

Fu Zhen didn’t like these words: "Shouldn’t I hate him?"

Pei Zhan paused, "I didn’t say you shouldn’t."

"Then what do you mean to say?"

Pei Zhan looked ahead and said softly, "I just feel that with your personality, you should have come from a harmonious family.

"You should always be happy, instead of harboring hatred."

This time, it was Fu Zhen’s turn to be stunned. Before she died, wasn’t she like what he described? She had a harmonious family and a smooth growth experience, except for the hatred brought by Xu Yin.

"Speaking of which, I really don’t understand." Pei Zhan continued, "You grew up in the Fu Family until you were fifteen. Why did all your rebellion happen in the recent two months? In the past fifteen years, have you never thought of resisting?"

Fu Zhen averted her eyes and stroked her nose.

This young man seemed to have done his homework recently, striking right at her sore spot.

She said, "In those past years, I wasn’t in good health, you know that. But two months ago, heaven blessed me and swapped my soul—

"I am reborn now. I have strength! I can resist! So I resisted."

Pei Zhan stared at her for a long time, "Soul swapping?"

"Yes!" Fu Zhen spread her hands, "I never dreamed such a thing could happen! A person’s soul can be swapped, and after swapping, even the body improves. Isn’t that amazing?!"

Pei Zhan said nothing.

How could it not be amazing? Indeed, it’s quite miraculous!

Why didn’t she just say she had swapped her core?

"Why did heaven specifically choose to swap your soul?" Pei Zhan thudded the cup down, "Why do you like these strange things? Can’t you be more normal?"

Fu Zhen gazed at him, sighing, "I knew it would be like this. Even if I tell the truth, you won’t listen. In truth, we are not like-minded. If I had swapped with someone who shared my views, they would believe without question."

Pei Zhan snorted, "Then who shares your views?"

At this, Fu Zhen suddenly remembered, last time Bixi mentioned that Liang Zhi was returning to the capital soon, though she wasn’t sure how soon ’soon’ would be?

So she changed the topic: "In broad daylight, let’s not ramble. Let’s talk about that dagger from last time.

"What’s going on with the Liang Family? Does the Great General have any leads? It would be great if Young General Liang were in the capital. Back then, he often played with Miss Liang. He might have some clues!"

Pei Zhan inquired, "How do you know the two often played together?"

How much did she know about the affairs of the Liang Family?! Even if Liang Ning trusted her mother, it wouldn’t make sense to disclose all these matters in such a brief encounter, would it?
