After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen
Chapter 139 - 138: You Jerk!

Chapter 139: Chapter 138: You Jerk!

"Miss Fu, have we met before?" Su Xinger asked the question in her heart.

Fu Zhen replied, "Madam, why do you say this?"

"I feel you look like my..." Su Xinger’s words stopped abruptly. Although her heart was filled with doubts, directly comparing a vibrant young lady to a deceased relative seemed somewhat offensive.

She changed her words: "I feel you look like a friend of mine."

"I wonder where this friend of yours is?"

Su Xinger paused and finally sighed, saying, "She is no longer in this world."

Fu Zhen smiled a bit.

"I met the Great General previously, did the Great General ever tell you about this?"

"He mentioned it. Is there anything inappropriate?"

"Then the Great General must have also told you that he found many suspicious points about me, correct?"

This made Su Xinger unsure of how to respond.

Liang Chen had indeed told her about these things, but she felt it inappropriate to admit it in front of someone like this.

Wouldn’t that make them appear very uncultured?

Seeing Fu Zhen still waiting for her response, she forced a smile and said, "My husband has a high opinion of Miss Fu; he says you are bold and open-minded. Although you are from a civil servant family, there’s nothing pretentious about you, except he’s curious about how Miss Fu knows martial arts."

Fu Zhen said, "Does madam want to know?"

Su Xinger certainly wanted to know. She was also carrying Liang Chen’s instructions, but she couldn’t admit it directly.

"I feel that Miss Fu is quite destined with our Liang family, almost like an old friend of ours."

Fu Zhen smiled again.

Su Xinger asked, "Why are you smiling?"

Fu Zhen suddenly looked at her and said, "I heard that when Miss Liang from the Liang family met with an accident, her whole body was charred. I also heard that it was you, the wife of the Great General, who collected her body. Were you scared at the time?"

When Fu Zhen said this, she did so openly, in the style of her past daily chats with Su Xinger.

From childhood to adulthood, she never cared about trifles and naturally developed a hint of masculinity. Even during casual conversations, people often felt an invisible sense of pressure from her.

Given her current identity, talking to Su Xinger in this way was certainly disrespectful.

But at this moment, this disrespect became the least concern because she mentioned Liang Ning and because of her tone!

"She was my relative; how could I be scared? But why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Su Xinger’s eyes widened, "Does Miss Fu have any connection with my aunt?!"

Fu Zhen smiled again, turned lightly, and walked forward.

When she reached the stone table in the courtyard, she suddenly stopped and then turned around, showing four fingers: "Four turtles!"

Su Xinger was first stunned, then her eyes widened: "Eight crows?!"

Fu Zhen stepped on the stone stool in front of her, showing two fingers: "Two orioles singing in the green willows!"

Su Xinger’s eyes and mouth all widened!

Covered in jewels and jade, she actually jumped up! She dashed to the stone table with a brisk step, both hands pressing on the edge: "A solitary life in mist and rain, carefree?!"

Fu Zhen continued, "Blind man touching the elephant!"

"Yongping pretending to be foolish!"

Su Xinger trembled all over, then quickly circled the stone table and grabbed both of Fu Zhen’s arms!

Her eyes swept across Fu Zhen’s face and body like lightning, and she said tremblingly, "What would I name my daughter if I had one?!..."

Fu Zhen replied, "’Liang Ying’! The ’Ying’ of the Zanying Family."

"What was it that my aunt kept under her pillow for years?"

Fu Zhen suddenly clenched her eyes, nose, and mouth.

Su Xinger’s hands gripped tighter: "Quickly, tell me!"

Fu Zhen said, "I can’t say it out loud..."

"What can’t you say out loud?!" Su Xinger suddenly jumped up and punched her arm, "Back when Pingyang’s Laughing Scholar wrote those storybooks, yours was the most complete collection!

"During my coming-of-age ceremony, I kept longing every day, guessing what you would gift me. In the end, there were no hairpins or jewelry, nor any musical instruments, you just gave me a full set of ’West Wing Night Talk’!..."

As Su Xinger said this, she suddenly smiled, and then tears had already streamed down.

Every sentence they exchanged just now was a secret code only she and Liang Ning understood; the turtles and crows were from the first "mischief" Liang Ning led her to do when Su Xinger first moved into the Liang family.

In the classroom, the teacher was a snob, and while he was asleep, Liang Ning quietly drew eight crows on his back, while Su Xinger followed behind, drawing four turtles.

The jumbled poetry was their way of coping with the lessons imposed by their teacher in class.

Saying "Yongping pretending to be foolish" was one of the stories of their clever confrontation with Yongping as children!...

Every single one of these was an irreplaceable memory and a secret they swore never to tell a second person!...

"You little rascal, you still know how to come back!" Su Xinger cried while punching her again: "We agreed that when I have children, you would take care of them! But you left Brother Xuan with me all alone!"

Fu Zhen clutched her punched shoulder, overwhelmed with emotion and surprise: "How did you become so fierce?"

Back then, how gentle and virtuous Su Xinger was, during her time at the Liang family, she was practically the Liang family’s model for restoring their image!

What’s with this mother tiger?

"Try raising a mischievous kid for six years on your own!?"

Su Xinger retorted bluntly while wiping her eyes.

Then, as she got a better look at Fu Zhen, who had a completely different appearance, she regained her composure and hesitantly asked, "Are you really her?"

Fu Zhen touched her face and asked her, "What do you think?"

Su Xinger shook her head: "This makes no sense..."

"Do you believe I’m a good person?" Fu Zhen asked deeply, "Faced with someone doubted by your husband, how much trust can you give me?"

Su Xinger clenched her hands, feeling as if her mind was in turmoil.

Closing her eyes, she could have complete trust, but seeing this unfamiliar face made her confused!

Fu Zhen sighed, "It’s a long story. I intended to take this chance to reveal everything to you, but I didn’t expect Xiao Wu from the Pei family to come!

"That fellow has already stirred things between Liang Chen and me earlier. I’m afraid he’ll ruin things, so I have to guard against him a bit. If you trust me, please keep quiet for now.

"If you want to know anything, you can go to Zhi’er after returning."

Before Liang Zhi returned to the capital, Fu Zhen really hoped Pei Zhan could believe she was Liang Ning, but this guy wouldn’t listen to reason and refused to believe her.

Now that she had Liang Zhi and Su Xinger had seen her, there was no need to let Pei Zhan know who she was!

Not only should he not know, it’s best to keep it hidden!

Upon hearing the word "Zhi’er," Su Xinger’s facial muscles twitched once again...

But since they lagged behind for so long, servants from the Cheng family had already come looking outside the courtyard gate.
