Chapter 66: Chapter 065 Women Fighting Women is Not Disgraceful!

There was only a wall separating the courtyard from this ruin, and Fu Zhen could roughly guess why he was here.

Fu Zhen looked at him deeply: "As a man, hitting a woman isn’t right."

"That’s why I asked you to hit her!" The chubby kid said confidently, "You’re a woman, it’s not disgraceful for a woman to hit a woman!"

Hey! This little brat!

Fu Zhen said, "Then why do you want to hit her? If you can’t give a reason, or if the reason isn’t justified, I won’t help you."

The chubby kid snorted from his nose: "That woman secretly insulted my elders! She said my elder looked ugly!"

"..."

Fu Zhen scrutinized him again. By age, this brat’s elder wouldn’t be young anymore, right?

People don’t look so good anymore when they’re old!

This little kid is really narrow-minded!

Saying someone’s ugly won’t take a piece of flesh away!

However, insulting people behind their backs isn’t right either, especially insulting elders; that does deserve a beating!

"Why don’t you call your family’s guard to do it?"

"Sigh, my mom doesn’t allow the guards to help me make trouble. If I let a guard come, he’d definitely tell my grandmother, and she’d tell my mom... sigh."

Fu Zhen roughly understood. She asked again, "What kind of person is that woman?"

The chubby kid said, "You don’t need to know!"

Fu Zhen stood up, crossing her arms: "Well, I must know."

At her age, how could she let a brat lead her by the nose? Who knows what kind of people those in the Zen temple are!

The chubby kid pouted and after weighing for a while said, "She’s a servant in a Third Rank official’s house. Just a Third Rank official, you’re not afraid, are you?"

What a big talker!

Fu Zhen eyed him sideways.

In the past, she wouldn’t be afraid of not just Third Rank, but also Second Rank and First Rank officials. As long as they were bad officials, she’d still beat them!

But now, she’s just the young lady of a Sixth Rank official’s house! And this little brat dares to say "just a Third Rank official" to her?

"Then you have to answer my question first. Tell me what you saw earlier."

The chubby kid got anxious: "I just heard some noise from there, ran over to check, and saw you busy in there, flitting here and there. I didn’t know if you were a person or a ghost, so I didn’t dare make a sound."

Fu Zhen pondered the possibility and found it plausible. The distance here was quite far from there, and this kid wasn’t even tall enough to see over the wall completely.

As long as he didn’t see her take out a dagger, it was basically safe.

After glancing at him again, she said, "How do you want to hit?"

"You just jump in through the window, slap her a few times, and that’s it!"

The chubby kid gestured animatedly.

Fu Zhen looked into the distance, then started to walk away: "You cover for me."

Although the danger was resolved, she, being an adult, couldn’t break a promise to a little brat.

Whether things were as he said, she’d check the situation first.

The chubby kid trotted behind her and was surprisingly considerate: "I didn’t notice before, but you’re so thin. There are quite a few of them. If you can’t take them on, you can run. These guys are terrible; I’m afraid they’d turn around and beat you..."

Fu Zhen responded with hums, not saying a word.

In the blink of an eye, they were outside the courtyard. On tiptoes, she saw there were lights on inside the house, but no servants were standing guard in the courtyard. It didn’t seem like it was anyone important.

Climbing over the wall was out of the question; even if she did, it would make noise.

Fu Zhen looked around, locked her eyes on a broken stool that seemed discarded, moved it to the wall, and instructed the kid, "You climb over first and open the courtyard door for me."

The chubby kid widened his eyes and pointed at his nose: "You want me to climb?"

"Of course!" Fu Zhen said confidently with her arms crossed, "You just asked me to help you hit someone, but you didn’t say I had to climb a wall to hit them."

The kid had quite the backing, and since he was the conspirator, who else but he should take the lead? Anyway, if trouble arose, he’d take the blame.

The chubby kid was dumbfounded.

"I thought you were great at martial arts, but I didn’t expect you couldn’t even climb such a low wall!"

Fu Zhen said, "Do you really want to hit or not?"

He hung his head, helplessly stepping on the stool to climb the wall.

Fu Zhen gave him a push, and as he lay sideways at the top of the wall, she nudged him.

There was a low cry of "Ow," but the landing was quieter than expected—seems he had some basic training. Who knew which military general’s brat he was?

Soon the courtyard gate opened, the brat rubbing one side of his bum, pointed at a particular room inside: "It’s that room! Hurry before someone finds out!"

Fu Zhen stepped into the courtyard, came to the window of the room he pointed out, listened to the movements inside, and skillfully opened a slit in the window. Seeing that the people inside were asleep, she flipped in, opened the bedroom door, let the chubby kid in, and the two of them advanced to the bedside.

The furnishings in the room were quite simple. On the bed was a woman in her early thirties; her clothes weren’t very fancy but not something just anyone could afford.

Next to her pillow were a few scrolls of scriptures, indicating she might have read them before sleeping.

Fu Zhen picked up the scripture with the intention of flipping through, only to see the words "Liang Ning" at the top...

"It’s her!" The chubby kid whispered, waving his hand to signal her to start the fight.

Fu Zhen frowned, paused for a moment, gestured for him to leave, and then lightly patted the woman’s face to wake her.

The woman, groggy, found a person dressed in black standing in front of her, frighteningly sitting up immediately!

Fu Zhen said, "Who are you?"

The woman was stunned. She probably didn’t expect someone would come looking for her without knowing who she was!

She shrank further into the bed, about to shout, but Fu Zhen swiftly covered her mouth: "Try calling out? See if they get here first or if I’m faster!"

The woman dared not move.

Once Fu Zhen let go of her hand, she trembled and gritted her teeth: "I am, I am the housekeeper of Mr. Xu, Assistant Minister of Rites! My master is Princess Yongping! How dare you be rude to me, I’ll make you pay!"

People from the Xu family...

Yongping’s housekeeper?

Fu Zhen, who had been casual all along, suddenly grew serious.

The Third Rank official the kid talked about was actually Xu Yin!

She frowned: "Where is your master?"

"Our master is naturally at the Assistant Minister Mansion!"

"Then how come you possess scriptures addressed to the Liang Family?"

The woman’s body tensed tightly: "The recitation event held at the temple was disrupted earlier. I came under the Commandery Princess’s order to provide several scriptures as supplement!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Zhen grasped the situation.

Xu Yin had held Fu Jun accountable on the day Liang Ning’s spirit returned, and after the matter was settled, Xu Yin had to conclude his "accountability." Since he didn’t intend to deal with Fu Jun, it seemed his choice was to cover up with additional scriptures.
