Chapter 110: Chapter 109 This Lady Looks Familiar
Just as Third Mrs. Du was speaking, she was startled by Fu Zhen suddenly slamming the table.
Watching her stand up abruptly, Third Mrs. Du’s hand trembled as she signed!
"What’s wrong with you?"
Could it be that she had said something wrong again?!
"You’re absolutely right!" Fu Zhen’s eyes sparkled as she looked at her. "Today is indeed a good day!"
Damn it, she didn’t expect to come out with a belly full of anger and end up with such a delightful surprise!
The Liang Zhi she’s been waiting for all these days had actually returned! And at this very moment, he’s right next door, just a room away!
If she let such a great opportunity slip by, the soul residing in this shell would not be Liang Ning!
Third Mrs. Du felt a tug at her heart seeing her like this. "So, what do you mean?"
Fu Zhen’s face melted like ice, blooming like spring flowers. "On such a good day, of course, take me to meet your Du Mingcheng!"
Saying this, she picked up the signed contract, blew on the ink stains above, and said loudly, "Although we don’t have the fate to be a married couple, given the bond we’ve developed in the past few days, it’s enough for me to call him brother!
"Mrs. Du, since you don’t have a daughter, you surely wouldn’t mind having a niece, right?"
"No, I—"
"No need to explain; you certainly are!" Fu Zhen reached out and pulled her up. "A daughter-in-law might scheme against you, but a niece would only help you and be your little comfort!
"You’ve seen what I can do. No matter who displeases you, I’ll help you deal with them effortlessly!
"After canceling the engagement, you gain a great niece for free; what a deal? Quickly now, take me to meet my big brother!"
Hearing the term big brother, Third Mrs. Du’s jaw nearly dropped!
Just a moment ago, she was despised as a prospective mother-in-law, with the table being slammed and chairs thrown to cancel the engagement!
And in the blink of an eye, their Du Mingcheng had become such a hot commodity?
It happened so fast that she’s already calling him big brother!
"I’m not going!"
She’s not stupid; there must be some trick involved!
"What if I told you I had a way to make you outshine the second branch? Would you go then?!"
Fu Zhen always couldn’t care less about other people’s family affairs, but that doesn’t mean she’s oblivious to the internal strife within these families!
Why didn’t the Third Son Du couple want to marry Fu Zhen initially? Because Fu Zhen was frail and sickly, seemingly always on the brink of death, while their second branch’s daughter-in-law was not only strong and capable of managing the household but also delivered twins in the first year and a big healthy boy in the third year!
Third Son Du’s wife had been openly and secretly competing with the second branch for over ten years; how could she accept a loss in marrying off her daughter-in-law?
So, at the core, she seeks to stand out, to outshine the second branch!
Currently lacking a reason, no matter how capable Fu Zhen is, she can’t reach the next room, can’t meet Liang Zhi!
The Du family’s wife is exactly the ladder present, so of course, she has to give her a sweetener!
"What, what method do you have?"
Third Mrs. Du was genuinely moved upon hearing this.
Heaven knows, ever since she entered the Du family, she’s been overshadowed by the second branch, living these ten years in suffocating frustration! But the second branch is inherently scheming, and now they’ve married a fox-like daughter-in-law; the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law basically conspire from the same nostril, giving Third Mrs. Du hardly any advantage!
So she thought about finding Du Mingcheng a similarly formidable wife, to unite and contend with the second branch.
Here stands one now, with overly advantageous conditions, except she misjudged before, missing the opportunity—now it’s beyond retrieval!
But Fu Zhen says there’s a way to help her!
"Ever since interacting with you, have I ever spoken a single word of falsehood? Your second branch family is no good; if you take me, I’ll definitely help you!"
Third Mrs. Du had seen how she dealt with villains, naturally confident in her. Hearing her say the Du family’s second branch is no good only boosted that confidence further!
Yet she still had doubts: "Why are you so interested in that affair? Do you by any chance..."
But before she could finish, Fu Zhen had already pulled her out the door. "I’m from a humble background, never having seen the world; now that I’ve recognized your Brother Cheng as my sworn brother, of course, I want to take this chance to broaden my horizons!"
It would be a wonder if Third Mrs. Du believed her nonsense! Not even blinking an eye at herself, a wife of a fourth-ranking official, summoning and dismissing as she pleases—did she look like someone never having seen the world?!
But she fundamentally couldn’t resist, and in the blink of an eye, Fu Zhen had pulled her outside the private room on the east!
The guards of each family’s disciples gathered outside the door, along with the servants called to serve, all in such an array that as an elder, Third Mrs. Du instinctively tensed up—
Now that she was here, there was no turning back! She could only brace herself and push forward: "Go in and report, I want to say hello to Liang Little General!"
The servants all recognized her; although curious why a female elder would join such a merrymaking, they still quietly went in to report.
Inside, two large tables full of people were drinking, eating meat, and chatting merrily; when the message reached Liang Zhi, the voices gradually subsided, and all eyes turned to Du Mingcheng sitting at the lower table.
Du Mingcheng was embarrassed, turning to his servant behind him: "Mother must be here to see me. Go tell her we can talk at home."
But Liang Chen said, "Third Mrs. Du is an elder, and everyone present is not unfamiliar, Brother Cheng’s conduct is inappropriate.
"—Please invite Third Mrs. Du in."
Third Mrs. Du, holding Fu Zhen, stepped in, and upon seeing Liang Chen, her scalp already felt numb.
As she was about to step forward to greet him, Liang Chen spoke first in surprise: "Miss Fu?"
Hearing his address, everyone turned their gaze to the person behind Third Mrs. Du— a room full of rugged men only now realized that besides Third Mrs. Du, there was also a dazzling young girl behind her shining like the sun, moon, and stars!
Among the twenty people in the room, at least half were bachelors!
Once they saw Fu Zhen, every single bachelor immediately straightened their backs, staring at her with wide eyes!
"Third Mrs. Du, dare I ask, who is this young lady?"
Second Young Master He was the first to inquire!
With his words, Cheng Chili immediately sprang up from his seat: "Miss Fu? My benefactor! How come you’re here?!"
After speaking, he rushed over in one stride, extending both hands to shake Fu Zhen’s!
But Liang Zhi, sitting nearby, swiftly intercepted him midway, then with the speed of a twenty-year single man, slapped his paws aside! "She’s a lady; how can you be so abrupt? You’re too rude, really embarrassing us!"
Finishing this, he smiled at Fu Zhen: "That boy just now is really impolite; don’t mind him, miss!
"My name is Liang, Liang Zhi. This young lady looks quite familiar; dare I ask if we’ve met somewhere before?"
