Chapter 134: Chapter 133: I Also Want to Know What Kind of "Ghost" This Is? (Second Update, Requesting Votes)

When the news of Mrs. Ning being harassed by Fu Yun reached the mansion, Fu Zhen was busy sorting the things Liang Zhi would take back the next day.

Just as she finished packing, news came from the other side that Mrs. Ning had been bullied by Fu Yun in the shop.

Fu Zhen, with her hot temper...

She merely assumed that Fu Yun was unhappy about the divorce and was deliberately causing trouble, so she immediately grabbed a door bolt and headed out.

She had just stepped out of the front courtyard when Li Jiang rushed in with the speed of an arrow: "Miss, don’t panic! Fu Yun has already left!"

Fu Zhen quickly demanded: "Did you chase him off? Why didn’t you wait for me?!"

"He left on his own." Li Jiang explained the whole story and then added, "Miss, do you know why Fu Yun caused trouble today?"

"Stop beating around the bush!"

Li Jiang hurriedly said: "The Ministry of Personnel has issued a new transfer order for Fu Yun, assigning him to Duanzhou!"

Fu Zhen’s mouth, which was ready to curse, opened and closed before she finally spoke: "When did this happen? Is the information reliable?"

"Just this morning! Absolutely true, I’ve confirmed it with our General, and the General said that it was Junior General Cheng himself who found Mr. Tu to handle this matter!"

Fu Zhen’s anger subsided significantly: "So fast?!"

She clearly remembered that it was just a few days ago she asked Pei Zhan to handle this, and now it was already done?

She hadn’t thought he would be so obedient before!

Li Jiang nodded: "Our General is a man of his word, and whatever he promises, he will certainly accomplish well."

Fu Zhen immediately said: "Your General is really capable! Someone like Fu Yun doesn’t deserve to be a Magistrate!"

Li Jiang was surprised: "Miss, do you mean that Fu Yun shouldn’t be a Magistrate?"

"Smart!" Fu Zhen dropped the door bolt and glanced at him sideways, "No wonder your master values you so much, you’re good at drawing inferences, young man, you have a bright future!"

Li Jiang chuckled.

Fu Zhen lifted a leg onto the doorstep and lazily said: "I think that such a person isn’t worthy of such a high position, but since Brother Jia will take the imperial examination in the future, if we are too ruthless, it might leave a mark of unfilial conduct, which would be highly disadvantageous for him.

"Moreover, I don’t know if your General would be willing to help me again, you see, it’s embarrassing to always trouble him."

Li Jiang chuckled again and then bowed: "I understand what you mean, Miss. I shall take my leave then."

Fu Zhen waved her hand, watching him run towards the end of the street.

The emperor rules the world with filial piety, and scholars especially value the ethics of filial piety. Although Fu Jia is determined to take his mother’s surname, he cannot escape the fact that Fu Yun is his biological father. Any stain regarding filial piety is an indelible blemish, and if someone wants to stir trouble, they can always find faults.

But to someone like Pei Zhan, this minor issue isn’t a problem at all!

If he agrees, Fu Jia’s reputation will be safe and sound, without a scratch!

But it’s hard to know if he would be willing! Considering his past attitude, it’s not guaranteed he would give her face!

Fu Zhen decided to leave it to fate.

She then turned and sent someone to bring Mrs. Ning back.

It was expected by Fu Zhen that Fu Yun would cause trouble. If he’s not sent away from the capital, today’s incident is just the beginning.

Though she took precautions swiftly, he still managed to show up, and not dealing with him harshly is truly infuriating!

On the other hand, Fu Yun dared to provoke them knowing that he had the status of an official while the Ning Family were commoners; whatever he wanted to do, he would have ways to make things difficult for them.

Such is the reality of class status; without official rank, they lose confidence in everything. Moreover, others are unaware that Fu Zhen is fearless of gods and spirits, they only know that their household currently has no adult male to uphold the family, along with a substantial estate, inevitably bringing all sorts of troubles.

Today Fu Yun dared so much; other officials might dare similarly in the future, or people from other strata even, maybe those from all walks of life would dare step forward.

If they could secure an official status, all these wouldn’t pose a problem.

But relying on Fu Jia to enter the bureaucracy will take at least a decade; after he becomes an official and gains a foothold, more years will have passed! How can the family wait?

Besides, she still has to deal with that scum Xu Yin.

Fu Zhen doesn’t want to see Xu Yin at all, but now the unavoidable point is, regardless of Xu Yin’s deep scheming and deceit, only Liang Ning knows him best among everyone, so even if she doesn’t want to meet again, to get hold of his weaknesses and expose him, she ultimately has to confront him.

And to confront him, she needs an opportunity to approach him. Basically, if she can’t regain the status of an official’s dependant, she might never get close to him.

Moreover, this status needs to carry weight; Xu Yin belongs to the class of dignitaries, not just any official’s family could have the chance to approach him.

Liang Zhi’s suggestion had originally left an impression on her mind.

Mrs. Ning’s experience today allowed this impression to take root and grow in her heart.

If no better solutions arise, then using the Liang Family to elevate their status is currently the most reliable and suitable, also the only viable option.

Even if it only meant becoming relatives with the Liang Family, it would be better than the current situation where anyone can step on them, wouldn’t it be?

In any case, first borrow some prestige from the Liang Family to shield the Ning Family from unnecessary troubles, and this would indeed lessen a layer of worries.

The point is finding a suitable opportunity to act...

Li Jiang, after taking his leave, went directly to Pei Zhan in the camp.

Meanwhile, Pei Zhan had just received an invitation from Cheng Chili, delivered respectfully.

Apparently, he was so difficult to invite out of seclusion that Cheng Chili sent the first invite not to the Liang Family or the Ning Family. As Cheng Chili put it: "If Fifth Brother doesn’t have time, then it’s not an auspicious day! Only when you have time, does the banquet truly signifies sincerity from our Lao Cheng family!"

Du Mingqian, watching him flipping the invitation for ages beside, said: "Are you going or not, just say the word! It’s hard for people to be kept waiting."

Pei Zhan closed the invitation: "The camp is rather busy, but on the account of Aunt Cheng, I can reluctantly take some time to visit."

Du Mingqian glanced at him after hearing his response of "rather busy," and then at the pile of sunflower seed shells before him...

Seriously, calling this "rather busy"?!

It was at this moment that Li Jiang came in, first addressing as General, then narrating the incident of Fu Yun’s provocation, and finally said: "Miss Fu said that Fu Yun doesn’t deserve to be a Magistrate."

Pei Zhan fixed his gaze on his face for a moment before saying: "Then let him not be. Inform Junior General Cheng that I will attend the banquet on time. Also, tell him to have this matter settled before my arrival."

"Yes."

After Li Jiang left, Du Mingqian looked at Pei Zhan in disbelief: "You, are you helping that Miss Fu with things?"

Pei Zhan glanced at him: "Can’t do it?"

Du Mingqian’s eyes widened further: "You never used to meddle in such matters! Moreover, you admit to helping her—to helping a young girl with things, what sort of madness is this?!"

Pei Zhan, composed and calm, stood up, walked to the window, and with a playful smirk at the flowing clouds: "Amusingly, I also want to find out what kind of ’madness’ it is."
