After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen
Chapter 118 - 117: Can You Beat Him?

Chapter 118: Chapter 117: Can You Beat Him?

Liang Zhi heard this, and his cheeks immediately turned red. Fortunately, it was late at night, so it couldn’t be seen.

He was almost ashamed to death: "I, I didn’t recognize you at the time..."

"Didn’t recognize and yet shamelessly pursued a girl like this?"

"Isn’t it because I’ve never seen a girl as beautiful as you, Aunt!..."

Liang Zhi couldn’t bear listening to himself as he said this.

He really couldn’t have imagined that his own aunt would become so beautiful!...

He had a few drinks during the day, coupled with the joy of meeting everyone, and as soon as she appeared, she was so composed and approachable. She even showed him some favor intentionally, and he couldn’t help but become elated.

—Sure enough, even if she switched bodies, she is still his aunt!

As a child, he was often teased by her, and thinking back, he realized she was doing it on purpose today!

Then he thought about how Miss Fu was actually his own aunt, and considering his previous behavior and remarks... Oh heavens, please open a hole in the ground for him!

"A country bumpkin!" Fu Zhen glanced at him, but couldn’t help but smile, "But such pleasing words, you can say more of them in the future. I love to hear them!"

After all, now she indeed has the capital, who doesn’t love compliments?

Liang Zhi sat beside her, staring at her intently, the more he looked, the more at ease he felt. Look at her gestures, her tone and demeanor, cover her face, and she’s just Liang Ning! She’s the aunt who would scold him without hesitation yet be genuinely good to him!

This is so incredible!

A perfectly fine person has turned into another person...

If she were covered in scars, he might think she narrowly escaped from a fire and came back. The remains could have been mistakenly identified by the Dali Court, but she was completely unharmed, her skin so delicate as if she grew up soaking in milk, without a trace of being burnt!

Even so, he could assume Liang Ning perhaps wasn’t in that fire at all, but it’s impossible for her entire physique and appearance to have changed completely!

"Aunt, what on earth is going on? Please tell me." Liang Zhi immediately pulled at Fu Zhen’s sleeve, just like in the past, and asked persistently.

Fu Zhen looked at him: "Do you remember when your grandmother used to tell us some folklore when we were kids? One of them was about the soul borrowing a corpse to return to life."

Liang Zhi froze: "I remember! It’s said that after death, a soul might reside in another person’s freshly dead warm body! Aunt, are you also—"

"Yes," Fu Zhen nodded, "No matter how absurd it sounds, that’s how it is."

Liang Zhi couldn’t help but move closer: "You mean, you indeed died in that fire, only it was your physical body that died, and your soul then became the Fu family’s young lady?"

Fu Zhen looked at him: "Do you think I made this up?"

"Of course not!" Liang Zhi straightened up immediately, "I admit this is a change I never thought of, so it indeed takes time to fully digest, but no matter how absurd, no one else would know all our history! Even if made up, no one could fabricate the soul of my aunt!"

Emotionally, he needed time to adapt to Liang Ning’s new face, but rationally, he was sure it was his aunt’s soul in this body. It was Liang Ning, without a doubt!

If she kept the shell but changed the contents, he would find it hard to approach her, but she only changed the shell, the content remained the same, what’s not acceptable about that?

He asked: "Since Aunt is resurrected, why haven’t you come to find us all these years? Why haven’t you returned home?"

Fu Zhen sighed: "That’s a long story."

"No matter how long, I still want to hear!"

Fu Zhen said: "I didn’t find you because I haven’t been back for less than a month. And the reason I am revealing my identity this way is that I’ve already been rejected by Zhan Er."

Saying this, she looked over, "Such a matter as soul borrowing a corpse isn’t something everyone can believe all at once. Even you and I, with our deep relationship, had to go through such a roundabout way just now, didn’t we?"

Liang Zhi paused, thinking of the twists they had just gone through, and felt a bit embarrassed.

But because of this, he understood her more.

"I have to be thorough in my considerations, rumors of hauntings have already spread here. If I rashly reveal myself as Liang Ning, even if the Liang family believes me, who knows how outsiders would view it?

"The Liang family is now in the ranks of nobility due to Chen Er’s accomplishments in quelling chaos, but with a high position comes gossip. Who knows if someone would secretly use this to trouble the Liang family?

"Not to mention anything else, just if they were to take me as a demon, the political scene has just stabilized. The Liang family producing a resurrected demon, someone might want to kill me to uphold justice, what should the Liang family do then? Protect me or not?

"If not protecting me, how would the Liang family deal with themselves thereafter? If protecting me, and should someone slander the Liang family as demonic miscreants harming the nation, then what?

"Even though the Emperor is a benevolent ruler, even though he fought the world with his own flesh and blood and doesn’t believe in such things, he is ultimately the ruler of a country. He has his responsibilities. When public opinion forces the political situation, would he protect the Liang family against the world’s opinion, or eliminate us to stabilize the nation?"

Liang Zhi was at a loss for words.

Fu Zhen looked ahead: "From the moment I borrowed Miss Fu’s body and revived, I knew going home wouldn’t be easy. I even thought if I couldn’t return, watching you live peacefully from the shadows would also be a kind of happiness.

"However—things are unpredictable, and I was still pushed to this step of recognizing you."

If the Fu family’s internal affairs weren’t so chaotic, if Fu Jun had a better character, he could have developed into her support.

As long as she was an official household’s lady, as long as she was the family member of an official, as long as she had the opportunity to return to her old circle, she could find a way to take revenge.

But Fu Jun was just too rotten!

Mrs. Ning had no choice but to get rid of him.

Fu Zhen had no choice but to get rid of him too!

Without the status of an official’s family, she had to seek assistance for herself, and besides the Liang family, besides her own family, who was more suitable and worthy of her trust?

She didn’t expect to recognize all the Liang family members, having Liang Zhi know her was already enough for her.

"Aunt!"

Liang Zhi felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.

He only blamed her for not returning, not realizing she was considering the Liang family in every aspect!

He clenched his fists and lifted his head: "If Fifth Brother doesn’t believe you, I’ll give him a good beating later!"

Fu Zhen side-eyed him: "Can you beat him?"

Liang Zhi froze...

Fu Zhen plucked a fallen leaf in front of her: "It’s quite normal for him not to believe me.

"I didn’t have much interaction with him, and when we met again, I didn’t even recognize him. At that time, he was younger, it’s already good if he remembers the Liang family and Liang Ning, hoping he’d recognize the me inside this body is far-fetched.
