Chapter 112: Chapter 111: He Went Around Your Fifth Uncle’s Corner (Second Update, Seeking Votes)

"Ah Cheng, what are you still standing there for? Quickly call her ’sister’!"

The crowd immediately encouraged Du Mingcheng to step forward.

No one present was a fool!

Many already knew that the Du Family had an engagement, and the bride’s family just happened to have the surname Fu, for example Liang Chen and those present like Cheng Chiren, Du Mingqian; with the way the Third Madam Du’s regretful expression was, urging Du Mingcheng to call ’sister,’ how could they not guess what had happened?

At the very least, it suggested Du Mingcheng and Fu Zhen were no longer destined.

——The engagement was cancelled!

Fu Zhen appeared composed and indifferent, surprisingly the one regretting and angry was the Third Madam Du, wasn’t that strange?!

Liang Chen, having formally interacted with Fu Zhen before, asked first, "Miss Fu, what’s going on with you both?"

Of course, Fu Zhen intended to announce the matter publicly! She said, "Great General, today I voluntarily dissolved my engagement with Mr. Du. From now on, each is free to marry as they wish. At the grace of Third Madam Du, I’ve recognized Mr. Du as my sworn brother.

"Third Madam especially brought me here to greet my brother. Perhaps I have disturbed everyone’s mood, please forgive me."

Liang Chen had long witnessed Fu Zhen’s straightforward and magnanimous nature, yet he never thought she would so effortlessly give up a marriage that seemed quite good in the eyes of the world!

Pei Zhan previously remarked she had intentions towards the Liang Family but dismissed her attaching herself to the Liang Family. Although Third Son Du’s household was dubious, she could just give up on the engagement like that, it seemed indeed she had no intention of clinging... Unexpectedly, Old Fifth had quite an understanding of this girl.

Thinking of this, Liang Chen looked deeply at the rowdy bachelors before him, ——even Old Fifth couldn’t win over this girl, what were these guys thinking?

Thinking of this, he settled down too, even poured a glass of wine, and watched the monkeys perform.

Fu Zhen sat in the great teacher’s chair, smilingly watching each introduce themselves. Back when she roamed the capital city, these lads were still trailing snot, lining up to bow and call her Aunt. Now, they’ve all grown up! Lining up waiting for Little Aunt to throw the handkerchief!

Enjoying the scene, she turned her gaze to the most enthusiastic Liang Zhi, "Young General Liang, could you help me with a matter?"

Liang Zhi immediately straightened up, pounding his chest with confidence, "Ah Cheng is my buddy! His sister is my sister! Miss Fu, just tell me!"

Fu Zhen smiled slightly, "I know the Canglang Pavilion by the moat is a great place for receiving guests. However, our family isn’t qualified to use it, and I wish to host an esteemed guest tonight. I was wondering if Young General Liang could help make arrangements and lend me the Canglang Pavilion for a night?"

"Such a trivial matter, Miss Fu only needs to say the word, anyone here can arrange it! Why specifically find Shaoyuan? My He Family can assist you at any time..."

"Shoo, shoo, shoo!" Liang Zhi chased away the young man beside him, "What business is it of yours?"

Then he turned back to Fu Zhen, "Leave it to me! After noon, I guarantee Miss Fu will have the place to use!"

"Thank you very much!"

Fu Zhen gave him a bow. "Before sunset, I will arrive to thank the General personally."

Then she turned to everyone, "I’m sorry for disturbing all you Generals, it’s really inexcusable, today’s meal should be my treat as an apology, but it would disrespect the host’s role. Therefore, I will cover today’s drinks as my apology, I hope all the Generals enjoy. Consider it me toasting the Great Zhou’s soldiers for protecting the nation!"

"How could we accept..."

The crowd, who moments ago were eager to curry favor, were suddenly embarrassed. They weren’t short on money for the drinks, yet didn’t expect this Miss Fu, besides being beautiful and generous, to be so magnanimous! It suited their tastes very much, making them feel their previous behavior was rude, so they all restrained themselves!

The Third Madam Du stood up, pointing her finger and tapping each of their heads, "You little rascals, remember to be polite when you see Third Aunt in the future! ——We’re leaving!"

With that, she took Fu Zhen to say goodbye to Liang Chen and the others of the highest ranks, then walked out.

Behind them came a tide of discussions, none unrelated to Fu Zhen.

——What was this about?

Simply letting a perfectly good daughter-in-law slip away!

Fu Zhen bid farewell to Third Madam Du at the restaurant, then quickly rode back to the Ning Family.

Upon entering, she handed the annulment document to Ziyan, "Take this to the lady to review! Ask her to negotiate the remaining matters with the Du Family!"

Then she instructed Zhang Cheng, "Call Luo Wei and the others to the front hall, I have important matters to discuss! ——You two come as well!"

Yang Tong noticing her seriousness, asked, "Should we avoid Li Jiang and Li Huai?"

"No need to be deliberate, they can’t enter anyway!"

With those words, Fu Zhen quickly returned to Yixin Hall!

As she crossed the doorway, she instructed Bixi, "Get me a rope! As sturdy as possible! Also ready a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, wrap them up in a bundle!"

Bixi froze, "Who is the young lady dealing with now?"

Fu Zhen tugged at the horsewhip on the table, her eyes glinting coldly as she huffed through her nose, "This time it’s a big one! Granny has to do it seriously tonight!"

Who did she go after last time?

Liang Zhi!

Her good big nephew!

It’s been six years since they parted, this aunt must properly show some concern for her nephew!

Still thinking of marrying a wife?!

The Canglang Pavilion is vast, he can shout all he wants, and no one will hear!

...

This gathering at the West Lake Building got a bit out of hand in the latter half. Initially, everyone still cared about maintaining the military officer’s dignity, but as they talked, they completely let go, sighing aloud; some envying the married and reflecting on family bliss, others lamenting how hard it is to win a girl’s heart.

Among them, Liang Zhi alone gained the favor of the beautiful Miss Fu, firmly believing his family sees him differently. At the table, he inquired about the Fu Family, urged Cheng Chili to confess his relationship with Fu Zhen, and finally confirmed that this Miss Fu had a clear background and was very kind, boosting his confidence even more!

This surely was a great opportunity gifted by heaven!

Thus, not waiting for the gathering to end, he eagerly left early. Since the beauty asked for aid, he must not mess it up!

He must be the first among the bachelors to retire from their ranks!

Liang Xuan, who had been playing downstairs, just crossed the threshold and saw Liang Zhi’s hurried departure. He craned his neck to ask his dad, "Where’s Second Uncle going?"

His dad snorted, "If your gossip is accurate, then he’s off to steal your Fifth Uncle’s love interest!"

Liang Xuan paused momentarily, then his mouth turned into an ’O’ of shock, "Is it that pretty sister?!"
