Chapter 34: Chapter 033: No One Should Be Wronged, Especially Not My Daughter

In this battle, a great victory was achieved. Mrs. Fu held Fu Zhen’s hand all the way until they returned to the room and sat down before she let out a deep breath and relaxed her hand.

"Zhen Er, how did you manage to plan everything so meticulously? Every step was executed according to your prior instructions. I never thought this manor could return to my hands!"

Mrs. Fu was too excited to speak coherently.

Though she seemingly responded impeccably all morning, it was all under Fu Zhen’s previous guidance.

Indeed, this dispute was a setup, intended to reclaim the manor worth six thousand taels of silver that was shamelessly taken, and to regain control over the servants in the mansion.

Over the years, the wealth taken away by the Fu family mother and son was countless, but this manor was a substantial amount, with ample evidence, and the timeframe was recent. Fu Zhen had a confrontation with everyone in the mansion yesterday, pondering how to handle these unruly servants. When Nanny Qi came early in the morning, the perfect opportunity presented itself. Who else would she target if not Rongfu Hall?

Furthermore, since the servants were not under Mrs. Fu’s control, even the people in Mrs. Liu’s room could overshadow Fu Zhen. How can a house mistress who cannot intimidate her servants maintain dignity and respect? Therefore, Fu Zhen insisted on establishing authority.

Fu Zhen had a plan, even inviting the instructor from Taishan Hall to act as a guard. Mrs. Fu had no reason not to agree and support it, the only lingering uncertainty was the likelihood of success, until the Prefecture Chief actually came to the door, she was indeed forced to act.

When she was invited into the flower hall, her hands were still clenched.

However, as Fu Zhen had predicted, when Fu Jun demanded money as compensation and she refused as agreed, Fu Zhen stirred up the situation in Rongfu Hall, causing Nanny Qi to be dragged out and beaten by Bixi. This indeed forced them to hand over all the land deeds and the register of sold servants!

From then on, she had to play her role skillfully!

"Thanks to mother’s cooperation today, it couldn’t have gone so smoothly with just my efforts alone!"

Fu Zhen spoke while counting the sale contracts and the register in the box.

The initial plotting indeed came from her, including instructing the Hu brothers on how to "invite" the Prefecture Chief to the Fu family.

But as for entertaining and managing the Prefecture Chief, it was due to Mrs. Fu’s own cultivated elegance.

Later, the Prefecture Chief adding his testimony to the document so readily, how could it be without the credit of Mrs. Fu, who had grown up mastering the ways of the merchant world?

Brothers join forces to fight tigers; fathers and sons go to war together!

Mrs. Fu felt both emotional and gratified, looking at her daughter in front of her, loving her so much she wished to embed her into her heart!

For the past ten years, it was she who did everything possible to protect Fu Zhen. But now, it was her still delicate and slender daughter who used her actions to protect her mother, vent for her, recapture her private property, and even restore the prestige—

Currently, not all the sale contracts are in this booklet, such as Nanny Qi. She came with the Old Madam, so she is not included here, nor were the people Mrs. Fu brought from the Ning Family.

However, although they can’t be sold, they can be controlled. Thus, even if Nanny Qi’s group couldn’t be subdued, having these items meant authority was consolidated.

Afterwards, although troubling matters may still occur, the affairs would proceed much smoother.

For instance, all the servants Fu Jun had planted beside Mrs. Fu could be purged.

Thinking of this, Fu Zhen said, "Mother, do you have enough manpower? Do you need some new people sent over from the agency for fresh blood?"

"Of course fresh blood is needed, but it’s not wise to rush it. Some old servants might cause some trouble; I plan to catch a few first to set an example, so the others will behave."

Mrs. Fu now had the confidence and her own stance.

After today’s incident, they could completely stand on equal footing with the Old Madam and Fu Jun.

Fu Zhen nodded and said, "Zhang Cheng and Yang Tong are already at my disposal; later I will find a few more bodyguards with good skills and character for you and Brother Jia.

"As long as they can’t threaten us, they won’t be able to hold anything over mother either."

The reason Fu Jun bullied Mrs. Fu for so many years was merely by leveraging the pressure of a son and daughter. If he couldn’t even touch them, how much could he really manipulate?

Today Fu Jun suffered a big loss and the Old Madam surely wished they could rend them to pieces, although they may not act as foolishly today, it’s always wise to guard against desperate moves from cornered animals.

Fu Zhen flipped through a few sale contracts of her own courtyard servants, suddenly recalling, "By the way, did father give you the three hundred taels of silver for buying ginseng?"

"He did," Mrs. Fu’s brow furrowed again at the mention of this, "but can this matter really be accomplished?"

Originally, she didn’t take Fu Zhen’s words about Mrs. Cheng needing the ginseng seriously, thinking she was merely deceiving Fu Jun.

However, after several moves in the past two days, she couldn’t help but pay serious attention to Fu Zhen’s every action.

She felt that her previously timid daughter wasn’t lacking intelligence, but simply too frail to act. Having returned from Baihe Temple, her energy improved inexplicably, making her statements worth heeding.

"About eighty to ninety percent sure." Actually having full confidence with Mrs. Cheng, yet Fu Zhen left room for herself, "As long as the issue on the mountain yesterday can be settled, it should not be problematic."

This prompted Mrs. Fu to ask, "Zhen Er, how do you have such confidence in these matters? Not just with the Cheng family, but also the Li family of Taishan Hall."

How could Fu Zhen candidly say everything? She smiled: "With money, all things can be done; mother’s hands hold immense assets, managing countless matters is no problem now. You used to spend too much heart on me, and with me and my brother as your weaknesses, you held back and overlooked those."

These words indeed struck a chord with Mrs. Fu.

She hailed from an imperial merchant family, not to say she was groomed to be domineering, but handling internal household affairs was definitely within her ability. If Fu Jun wasn’t so heartless and instead lived kindly, sharing the same heart with her, those minor Fu family matters, evil mothers-in-law or vixens with ulterior motives would be of no concern to her.

Feeling even more gratified, she patted Fu Zhen’s head and casually took out a few silver notes from the small drawer of the kang table: "Didn’t you say the front gate’s Dong Ji’s peach crisps are tasty? Let the girls and boys go buy some. If it’s not enough money, find Jin Zhu for more."

Three hundred taels of silver to buy peach crisps??

And "not enough"?

In the previous life, Fu Zhen indeed never lacked money, but at this moment, even she felt these thin papers were heavy as they weighed in her hand: "No, this is too much!"

"What’s too much? The money of yours and your brother’s in the future won’t all be yours?"

Mrs. Fu gently caressed her hair, "Moreover, these silver notes, the manor, it’s all because of you that they returned to my hands. If not for you, they wouldn’t have come back to mother. Take it as a reward, no matter how aggrieved I am, I can never wrong my daughter."
