Chapter 142: Chapter 141 I’m Going to Defeat Your Second Uncle (Second Release, Asking for Votes)

Pei Zhan slowly rose, also walking to the desk to watch Ning Jia write.

"Old Five!"

Outside, Liang Chen’s voice echoed at this moment.

With the sound of footsteps, Liang Chen stepped through the door. "Everyone has gone to the garden to drink tea, please invite Mr. Ning over too."

Ning Jia looked up, about to put down the pen and pay respects, but Pei Zhan stretched out his hand to stop him: "Continue writing."

Only after he finished writing a full two pages did Pei Zhan wave his hand, then picked up his essay.

Liang Chen helped Ning Jia, who bent over to pay respects, and then said: "How come a person like you, who wields weapons, is now concerned with writing?"

After saying this, he added: "Mr. Ning’s calligraphy is quite good. Did you write this essay too?"

Ning Jia nodded: "I’m unworthy."

Liang Chen looked at him appreciatively: "So young and already knowledgeable and courteous, you take after your ancestors! You and your sister each have your own brilliance."

Ning Jia modestly thanked him.

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhan suddenly looked up: "Where’s Miss Fu?"

"Xing Er is with her."

Liang Chen replied happily.

The wife had arranged things properly. Just after meeting, she had already attached herself to Miss Fu, so the matter of probing would surely be handled well!

"Just the two of them?" Pei Zhan’s expression tensed, "No one else?"

"Can they not be together?" Liang Chen was puzzled, "They’re just two women, what’s there to be surprised about?"

Of course, two women can be together!

But they are Su Xinger, who once was inseparable from Liang Ning, and the suspected Liang Ning!

Why did Pei Zhan set up this scenario?

It was to bring them together so that Fu Zhen would reveal herself in front of the Liang family, allowing him to verify his suspicions!

Yet now they’ve privately met, how can he verify anything?

Pei Zhan quickly folded Ning Jia’s essay and tucked it into his pocket, striding towards the door: "Let’s go find them!"

"..."

Liang Chen couldn’t understand why Pei Old Five was so hastily going to find his wife? Doesn’t he know that a man is best not near when women are speaking? Why rush to face glares?

But he didn’t stop his steps, and after Pei Zhan left, he immediately dragged Ning Jia to catch up!

Ning Jia had never conversed face-to-face with a military general in his life, even when visiting his school friend Lan Xiaowu’s house, he only interacted with Xiao Wu’s siblings, never meeting his father or brothers!

Today, seeing these two legendary Great Generals, his heart was bouncing like several balls inside! Yet, facing these great figures, he was both nervous and developed a sense of admiration and closeness under such informal circumstances!

Thus, they hurried to the garden, where voices grew nearer, and in the waterside pavilion at the center of the lake, perfumes and chatter filled the air. Su Xinger and Fu Zhen seemed to have just arrived, speaking by the tea table with the ladies from the Cheng and Liang families.

Among them were several impressive men; the older one was General Cheng, and another was Cheng Chiren. They sat with Pei Zhan at a separate table on the eastern side.

While Pei Zhan was talking with the Cheng family father and son, his gaze was directed at Su Xinger and Fu Zhen, who had just taken their seats.

Mrs. He was asking Fu Zhen: "...What kind of tunes do you like?"

Meanwhile, Su Xinger had her back to them, facing Mrs. Cheng, and nothing could be discerned!

Liang Chen entered the room directly, looked around, and asked: "Where did Old Second and Old Seventh go?"

"Here they come!"

As if conjured by mention, Liang Zhi and Cheng Chili entered one after the other, laughing, and said: "We went for a short stroll and came back late!"

Then, approaching Ning Jia, they apologized for the delay and started chatting with him.

However, Cheng Chili was preoccupied with serving tea to Fu Zhen. He went to the table, poured a cup of tea, then eagerly approached Fu Zhen: "Miss Fu, I offer you a cup!"

Everyone stopped talking, and Mrs. Cheng said: "You rascal! Go back to your table!"

Cheng Chili didn’t leave, his eyes intently fixed on Fu Zhen, filled with zeal.

Fu Zhen looked at Liang Zhi, who gestured to her across the table, and she understood, standing up to ask: "What is the reason for this cup of tea?"

This fool, after all these years, still hasn’t developed any tact. Can’t he see someone over there is watching with a tiger’s gaze? He should think of a reason before coming out.

Cheng Chili stammered, seeing his mother, and immediately said: "You are a benefactor to our family, and this cup of tea is to thank a benefactor!"

You’re saved.

Fu Zhen smiled and nodded gently, accepting his tea with both hands: "The young general is kind. Please take a seat."

She took a small sip.

With lowered eyes, she subtly gave Cheng Chili a reassuring glance.

Dealing with Cheng Chili was something she and Liang Zhi had planned early in the morning. As one of the people most familiar with Liang Ning, Fu Zhen was not entirely confident in not revealing herself before Cheng Chili.

Rather than have this fool unexpectedly blow the situation, it’s better to eliminate this potential threat early, so she had this idea before Liang Zhi returned.

Putting down the teacup, she looked to the side at Su Xinger. With Cheng Chili settled, she needed to ensure that her rapport with Su Xinger was intact—

All along the way, Su Xinger’s heart hadn’t settled for a moment!

The average person would be excited for quite a while after losing and recovering a piece of gold, much less someone alive standing before you!

Seeing Fu Zhen flirtatiously gesturing with Cheng Chili—the confidant of Liang Ning! It’s impossible she would have returned without telling him!

So, even though it’s unclear how she returned, she has indeed come back, which is a fact!

She took a deep breath, turned to meet Fu Zhen’s eyes, and then nonchalantly sat beside her.

Fu Zhen had previously instructed her not to let others know about this, so now she should cover up like she used to.

Fu Zhen withdrew her gaze.

—Wonderful!

Though the process was complicated, the initial goal was achieved.

Next, she just needed to finish this tea and meal, then she could retreat and deal with the upcoming situations.

Pei Zhan, watching the cryptically interacting trio across, furrowed his brows.

Su Xinger and Cheng Chili being so intimate with Fu Zhen was certainly unusual, already suspect enough to serve as evidence.

Yet, he still hadn’t confirmed it with his own eyes.

He missed that fire back then, leading to his blind belief before, thinking Liang Ning absolutely could not still be in this world.

This time, except for his own heart and eyes, he won’t trust anything else! He must see enough evidence.

Scanning around, he signaled Guo Song from afar: "Where’s Brother Xuan? Get him here."

Liang Xuan naturally had a group of friends his own age.

Guo Song found him amidst the flowers, tugging him out of a half-dug hole, dusted him off, and brought him before Pei Zhan.

Pei Zhan peeled a piece of sugar and plugged Liang Xuan’s screaming mouth, whispering in his ear: "From now on, listen when I speak, and cooperate. If done well, I’ll take you out of the city for roasted duck tomorrow."

Liang Xuan immediately shut his mouth.

Pei Zhan hinted at the opposite group with his eyes: "Didn’t you tell me before, that feelings of love should have a sense of order?"

"I think you’re right.

"I clearly knew Miss Fu first. So I can’t be such a coward; from now on, I’m going to defeat your second uncle. Will you help me or him?"

Liang Xuan, thrilled to be appreciated, puffed out his chest: "Of course, I’ll help you..."

"Then you go sit next to Miss Fu now, and do exactly as I instruct." After whispering, Pei Zhan straightened up and said: "If this is done well, you’ll be my Vanguard General in the future."

Liang Xuan immediately straightened his belly, thumping his small fist on his chest: "Watch me!"

He then dashed off toward the west.
