Chapter 67: Chapter 066: Goodbye Forever! (Second Release, Asking for Votes)

"Who, who exactly are you?" The woman asked, trembling.

Fu Zhen focused her gaze, then sat down on the edge of the bed: "I know that the Assistant Minister loves the oil tea made by people from Tanzhou in an alley in the southern city. I also know he has a copper coin-sized, bean-shaped red birthmark on the left side of his back. Who do you think I am?"

The woman looked at her in horror, then scrambled up, not even bothering to put on her shoes, stepping barefoot onto the floor.

"Are you, are you sent by the Assistant Minister?"

Fu Zhen stared at her, arms crossed, saying nothing.

The woman quickly knelt down again: "Lord of the Guards! I dare not neglect the tasks given by the master! I’ve taken care of the scripture for Miss Liang as instructed!"

Fu Zhen picked up a roll of the scripture, pointing at two nearly invisible faint marks: "Is this what you call taking good care?"

The woman was at a loss for words...

Fu Zhen said: "I was sent by the master to inspect. Although you didn’t do very well, you’re acting like the Assistant Minister is very terrifying. Is the master usually very strict with you all?"

The woman hesitated: "Not strict, but even the Commandery Princess obeys him. How could we not be afraid?"

Fu Zhen scrutinized her: "You’re talking nonsense. The master and the Commandery Princess are so in love that you make the Princess sound like a resentful woman?"

"I’m not talking nonsense! Look, this time the master asked us to send scripture to the dead Miss Liang of the Liang Family, didn’t the Princess also fail to refuse?"

Fu Zhen raised her eyebrows: "The Princess tried to refuse?"

The woman, realizing her slip of the tongue, pressed her lips and fell silent.

Fu Zhen surveyed the room, then said: "I see. No wonder the Assistant Minister sent me to supervise you; you’ve always been two-faced. The Princess has often spoken ill of Miss Liang behind her back, hasn’t she? Haven’t you long been unhappy with the Assistant Minister for cherishing his late fiancée?"

"What late fiancée? They didn’t have a proper engagement!" The malice in the woman’s eyes was unmistakable, "The Liang Family just thinks about it; how could their Miss deserve the Assistant Minister? It was the master’s kindness!"

Fu Zhen’s face turned cold: "The master painstakingly builds a reputation outside, yet you privately insult people and undermine him?"

She grabbed the woman’s collar and slapped her forcefully several times!

"Remember next time! Disrespect Miss Liang again, and I’ll beat you to death!"

Now she believed the little chubby boy wasn’t lying! With this woman’s behavior, was it any surprise she slandered her elders behind their backs?

Initially, she just wanted to scold her a bit on behalf of the chubby boy, but given how she was, a beating was well deserved!

Xu Yin, that beast, even dared to use the Fu Family in his schemes. Why didn’t he first manage his wife?!

After speaking, she added a few more slaps: "This is a lesson to keep your mouth shut! Next time, if you insult someone’s elders behind their back, you won’t be let off easily!"

With that, she pushed the woman aside and strode out!

The chubby boy outside was dumbfounded. It wasn’t until Fu Zhen approached that he clapped vigorously!

Fu Zhen scooped him up and ran out of the courtyard, only releasing him when they reached the turtle pond!

The chubby boy’s eyes were sparkling as he looked up at her with a big face and a rice-grain-sized mole on her left temple: "Sister, you’re amazing! Those slaps were loud!"

Fu Zhen gave a dismissive snort, adjusting the veil on her face: "Kid, I’ve helped you deal with the person, so we owe each other nothing! Parting ways here, we’ll not meet again!"

With that, she turned and ran back the way she came...

The chubby boy chased after her: "Sister, what’s your name? ... Hey, wait for me! ..."

Fu Zhen was already running fast, halfway, she greeted Zhang Cheng, who came to meet her, leaned down to put on the outer night clothes, and followed the original route back to the Zen temple where she resided!

...

The night became quiet once more.

The sound of the wind grew clearer.

The chubby boy watched the receding figure, feeling inexplicably a bit downhearted.

He picked up a peach blossom on his sleeve and turned to run to the northeast corner of the temple where the Zen temple was located.

He was very familiar with this temple because he came to stay a few times every year, and he could find his way even with his eyes closed!

"Brother Xuan! Why are you still here?!"

A stern voice came from the other side of the corridor.

Liang Xuan covered his mouth in surprise: "Fifth Uncle?!"

Pei Zhan came over, looked around, and frowned deeply: "Where are your people? Why are you alone?"

As he spoke, he picked a piece of grass from Liang Xuan’s clothes and a petal from his head: "Where did you go?"

Liang Xuan hesitated, looked around, then said: "I, I went to chase, chase a little cat..."

"A cat?"

"Yes!" Liang Xuan nodded heavily: "It was just a cat!"

The sister had helped him deal with the person just now, and he couldn’t be so unfair as to reveal her! Not even to Fifth Uncle!

"Really?"

Pei Zhan glanced at him.

But after staring at Liang Xuan, whose face was tense, for a moment, he said nothing more and led him indoors: "I’ll take you back to your room to sleep."

Liang Xuan’s shoulders silently relaxed. Great! He deceived Fifth Uncle. He was the hardest to fool.

As he crossed the threshold, he asked: "How come Fifth Uncle is here?"

"I also came for some peace of mind. By the way, your father also came..."

Pei Zhan spoke slowly, stepping into the room.

He certainly didn’t believe that little rascal went to catch a cat, because whenever he lied, he loved to look around. But since he was always mischievous, he was too lazy to pursue it.

After all, his trip wasn’t truly for relaxation.

Last night, he asked Liang Chen if he knew about the dagger, but not only was Liang Chen completely unaware, even Old Mrs. Liang and Su Xinger hadn’t seen it.

If Liang Ning really got such a dagger, why hadn’t anyone else in the Liang Family seen it?

He suspected Fu Zhen was lying.

After pondering the whole night, he went off duty and sent someone to the Fu Family to find her. Who knew that Li Huai, who was assigned to Fu Jia, reported that Fu Zhen had gone to Baihe Temple!

Pei Zhan simply called Liang Chen to accompany him, using the excuse of seeking peace of mind, and headed up the mountain together.

...

When Fu Zhen crossed the threshold, Mrs. Fu had already returned, standing quietly in the moonlit courtyard, her expression as serene as the moonlight.

"... Mother!" Fu Zhen’s heart skipped a beat.

"Where did you go?" Mrs. Fu looked at her calmly.

Fu Zhen forced herself to remain calm: "Sorry... I went for a walk with Zhang Cheng."

Mrs. Fu nodded: "If it’s just a walk, there’s no need to apologize. Don’t be so distant in the future."

"... Okay."

Mrs. Fu smiled slightly and led her into the house.

Mrs. Fu’s visit to the mountain had two purposes: one was obviously to fulfill a vow, the other was to see Cheng Kong again.

After listening to the sermon in the Buddha hall for a while, she found Cheng Kong. He only gave her four words: Misfortune turns to blessing.

Just like last time, Cheng Kong did not elaborate further.

But Mrs. Fu no longer felt the hesitation she felt last time. Having received a definite answer, she felt at ease.

Even when she returned and found Fu Zhen unexpectedly not in the house, she wasn’t too flustered.

In the future, she would speed up adapting to this change.
