After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen
Chapter 111 - 110 Sister!

Chapter 111: Chapter 110 Sister!

Fu Zhen scrutinized the young man before her. She had gone to the Northwest at the age of eight, under the care of her second brother and his wife, and soon Liang Zhi tagged along.

Their trio, together with Cheng Chili who joined later, became known as the Three Tyrants of the Northwest Army camp.

When she was ten, an accident during the rescue of Xu Yin left her face scarred. Her second sister-in-law, skilled in weapon-making, personally crafted a silver mask for her, earning her the nickname Silver Masked Rashamon in the camp.

Liang Ning thought it was a good title and straightforwardly appointed Liang Zhi as the Left Protector and Cheng Chili as the Right Protector. They were later collectively known as the Three Heroes of Mobei.

However, Cheng Chili only stayed in the Northwest for a year before his father sent him back to the capital. Two years later, Liang Zhi also returned first, and by the time Liang Ning escorted Liang Qin’s body back to the capital, Liang Zhi had been back for a year.

That year, Liang Chen took on the perilous task of leading the western expedition. At fourteen, Liang Zhi was arranging provisions for him, having been seen as a carefree youth by the adults throughout his life. Before departing, he came to her room to bid farewell: "The Liang Family now only has two sons, me and elder brother, Aunt. I must live like a real man."

Liang Ning’s incident occurred merely three days after he left home.

He was as thin as a bamboo pole back then, but six years later, he had grown robust, akin to how his father was in life!

Fu Zhen would never forget the unwavering and clear gaze in his eyes when he came to say goodbye. Now, those eyes were still clear but even more steadfast than before. He was an undoubted man now, and equally the pride of the Liang Family!

But who the hell would have thought that besides his physique, these six years would also embolden this kid—to the extent that he, her own nephew, was now flirting with her right before her eyes?!

Fu Zhen smiled enigmatically without revealing her thoughts: "Little General Liang is indeed as rumored, strong and handsome."

"Really?" Liang Zhi was overjoyed, turning his head to look left and right: "Has Miss Fu truly heard of me?"

"Of course." Fu Zhen laughed as she surveyed the faces of everyone present, "All the young generals here, I’ve not only heard of but also met. Each of you has fought earnestly for Great Zhou. In the entire city, who isn’t captivated by your heroic demeanor?"

The crowd, who had been lamenting over Liang Zhi stealing the spotlight, straightened like well-watered saplings at her words!

Then they all stood up, afraid that the incomparably beautiful yet bold young lady before them wouldn’t notice how impressive and heroic they were, scrambling to respond: "No, no! Miss Fu is too generous with her praise! Is Miss Fu a relative of the Du Family? If so, you can be considered as one of us! Come, ask someone to set up a table for Miss Fu! Please take your seat..."

Among them were mostly older bachelors, as years of war in the Northwest had seen all capable children of military families take to the field, delaying many marriages.

Now that peace reigned, these men, who had longed for wives and children to warm their beds, were eager to marry.

Unfortunately, the daughters of aristocratic families were pampered and kept in seclusion; even the generals’ daughters, after many peaceful years since the founding of the dynasty, had lost the freedom of the initial post-foundation period, making interactions with them restrained for the military men.

Deep down, Fu Zhen was still Liang Ning, and her innate poise couldn’t be concealed. Seeing her natural grace, how could they not feel an affinity?

The atmosphere in the room immediately warmed up, to the despair of Cheng Chili, who couldn’t manage to stop all of them and kept protesting: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Miss Fu is my benefactor. If any of you step forward again and offend her, you’ll have to deal with me!"

Liang Chen and his married peers, initially silent at the side, finally spoke up seeing the chaos, "Everyone, sit down! There are elders here, look at yourselves, this is nothing but a joke!"

Only then did the crowd remember Aunt Du San sitting beside them, immediately bowing and greeting her in unison: "Good day, Aunt Du San! Your nephews salute you!"

Aunt Du San swore that ever since knowing this bunch of rascals, they had never been so respectful! For the sake of a little girl today, they lowered themselves!

Seething with anger, she thought it unreasonable not to make them pay a little.

Pointing one by one with her finger, she said, "Now you remember to call me Aunt, where were you before? Let me tell you, this is my niece! Zhen Er, let’s go. We won’t involve ourselves in these rough men’s affairs!"

In this room, just picking anyone randomly would already impress hundreds, so how could she not leave?

As soon as she started, the others had already divided into teams—one blocked the door, another prepared a Grand Master’s chair, a third poured the tea, while the last group escorted Aunt Du San to the chair!

The manifestation of the military general’s aptitude of Great Zhou was complete!

Such a gathering of a dozen young officers with actual ranks, even the emperor probably hadn’t enjoyed!

Aunt Du San, becoming increasingly enraged, said, "Is this inviting me to sit? More like forcing me to sit here!"

No one paid her any mind; the He Family’s second son first spoke, "Aunt San, may I ask if Miss Fu is engaged? How do we address her esteemed elders? Please, tell us quickly! We could invite you out to a banquet daily for a whole month if that’s what it takes!"

Du Mingcheng from the crowd couldn’t help but step up, "Mother, how is it I haven’t seen this lady before?!"

Seeing this, Aunt Du San got even angrier! God knows that not long ago, this sought-after gem was to be the future daughter-in-law of the Du Family by engagement with her son, Du Mingcheng!

Through her own manipulations, such a fabulous daughter-in-law slipped away!

Aunt Du San, filled with regret and unable to vent her frustration, looked to her son, feeling unable to express all her grievances: "You bury yourself in books all day, not knowing everyone—go on and greet your sister!"

A rage boiled inside her!

She desperately wanted to try patch things up but knew that Fu Zhen would never give her another chance. Angering this Granny, she might end up in even more trouble!

—Forget it!

A niece is a niece then!

Though this little cotton-padded jacket was wrought of thorns, it was better than none! Could she expect this Granny to really warm her heart?

Du Mingcheng, looking at the radiant and composed girl before him, suddenly realized the situation, considering her surname.

Obliged by parental decrees, he knew of his engagement and that his fiancée was supposedly frail and not someone for a harmonious match, hence leaving it to his parents to decide without intervention.

Though it’s the first time he’s seen Fu Zhen, a sense of loss unexpectedly welled up!

Little did he think that upon seeing this "fiancée" for the first time, she had already become his sister!

And the woman he assumed unfit, standing amongst paragons—no, amidst a group of talents, was such a dazzling presence!
