Chapter 71: Chapter 070: I Am His Son! (Second update, asking for votes)

Mrs. Fu was so angry that her eyes turned red.

Fu Zhen opened her eyes wide in panic!

The Du Family was rewarded with the title of Great General because of Du Xun. Du Xun’s grandfather, who also happened to be Du Su’s grandfather, had the authority to arrange a marriage for the child in the belly of Du San’s wife. But it was really unfortunate that this matter fell on Fu Zhen!

"It’s customary for both parties with an engagement to acknowledge each other’s children during festivals and birthdays. However, after the death of the elders, the Du Family barely corresponded. At the time, your grandfather and I thought they might want to back out. But your grandfather firmly believed that the Du Family wouldn’t have such unreliable descendants!

"Because it was their family’s old general who proactively proposed this engagement, how could they possibly swallow their words? Therefore, I never thought along those lines.

"But after your grandfather passed away, the Du Family never contacted us again. It might be forgivable not to acknowledge your birthday, but even on your coming-of-age ceremony, the Du Family showed not the slightest courtesy!"

At this point, Mrs. Fu was furious: "I don’t have to make you cling to this prestigious family, but they are too ungracious in their attitude!

"Your birthday is in October, and Lord Du San’s job transfer should have been after the year-end evaluation, which means, within a mere two months after ignoring your coming-of-age ceremony, they got the order to return to the capital!

"Since their return to the capital, they haven’t visited or sent a matchmaker to discuss the matter. Initially, I didn’t want to bring this up with you because I was still weak and didn’t have much hope. In case anything happened to you without knowing this, it would at least save some regret.

"With their attitude after returning to the capital, I was even more reluctant to mention it. They clearly don’t want to honor the engagement! I won’t insist, but if they want to break off the engagement, they should do it openly and fairly. How can they be so underhanded and expect us to initiate the break-up?

"I don’t care, but how can you bear such a loss? You are a legitimate young lady. Even if you don’t marry into the Du Family, you will marry someone else. How can you let them tarnish your reputation for no reason!"

Mrs. Fu was so angry that tears fell.

Fu Zhen knew that over the years, Mrs. Fu had worried endlessly about her. When Fu Jia and Mrs. Liu bullied her, Mrs. Fu didn’t care because Fu Jia was her only son, and she would depend on him in the future. She didn’t mind, dedicating herself entirely to Fu Zhen. The Du Family’s actions indeed touched her limit.

Fu Zhen, however, found herself at a loss on how to comfort her...

She thought she should handle Du Lao San’s couple as mercilessly as she dealt with Mrs. Liu and Fu Yun. But the key point was she didn’t want to marry them!

She couldn’t marry them!

If she dealt harshly with Du Lao San and his wife and they insisted on proposing, what would she do then?

Wouldn’t that be shooting herself in the foot?

Now that they want to break the engagement, Fu Zhen could only go along with their wishes!

Therefore, at this moment, she found herself unable to share Mrs. Fu’s enmity...

Of course!

The couple Du Lao San still needed to be condemned!

They were truly unkind!

If the soul in this body wasn’t Liang Ning’s but the original owner’s, wouldn’t the young girl have been bullied by these old schemers for nothing?

Shameless!

Fu Zhen pounded her fist into her palm.

Just then, a soft "yawn" drew her attention forward.

On the stone railing surrounding the dragon cypress tree, a girl in a light yellow dress glided like a yellow butterfly in front of a big man and a small one. She looked charmingly at the big one and called sweetly, "Brother Pei..."

The sweetness of the voice was something that Fu Zhen, the iron Rashamon, had never heard before!

She shivered on the spot, leaning on the railing to peek—ah! What followed were countless shivers like a flood overwhelming her!

The big one she recognized!

It was Pei Zhan!

The small one she also recognized, it was that little fat boy from last night!

And the two of them together!

What sort of strange combination was this?!

...

Pei Zhan looked at the girl in front of him and frowned, "Who are you?"

The girl glanced at him and blushed, lowering her delicate face even more, "Brother Pei forgets easily. My surname is Yu. Last month my elder brother took me to the Capital Camp to deliver weapons to my father. We saw each other at the camp."

Pei Zhan still had no recollection. But he did remember there was one with the surname Yu, a Chiliarch in the camp.

He spoke seriously, "Then you should address me as General Pei. Or Deputy Commander."

"What on earth is ’Brother Pei’?"

"Brother Pei..."

"Sister," at that moment, Liang Xuan spoke up, "My father is much older than you. It doesn’t suit to call him brother. You should call him uncle."

This "father" exploded not only Fu Zhen behind the tree but also the girl nearby and Pei Zhan himself!

So much so that Pei Zhan even ignored the "uncle" in his words!

The girl asked, "...and who are you, young master?"

Liang Xuan, the only one remaining calm, tugged Pei Zhan’s sleeve, "I’m his son."

"What?!"

Miss Yu was stunned!

Fu Zhen, on this side, almost choked on her own spit!

The little fat boy was Pei Zhan’s son?

Wasn’t he just twenty years old?!

"Aren’t you unmarried?!"

Miss Yu was so shocked that she stammered! Everyone in the capital city said he was single. She had inquired specifically to have her brother bring her to the camp! And now suddenly there’s such a big son!

"Is this true or false?"

She asked Pei Zhan for confirmation, trembling.

"Of course, it’s true!" Liang Xuan grabbed Pei Zhan’s hand, "My father is the Great General who quelled the Northwest Rebellion! Would he lie to you? — Father, who is this sister? Does my mother know her?"

Pei Zhan glanced at him and said flatly, "Doesn’t know her."

She really doesn’t know her!

Su Xinger is the dignified general’s wife. How could she know the daughter of a Chiliarch?

As for the "father," Liang Chen would naturally take the place of Pei Zhan in giving a good spanking later.

"This can’t be! Brother Pei..."

"Sister, why haven’t you changed your address yet? My mother said that pestering is undignified!"

Liang Xuan tilted his head, looking innocent, yet his words hit like a slap!

Miss Yu’s face turned red and white in succession. Then she bit her lip and couldn’t help covering her face, fleeing in embarrassment.

Fu Zhen pulled back as well.

But she couldn’t get back to her senses for quite some time!

The little fat boy called Pei Zhan father. Judging by his reaction, he accepted rather than denied it, so they really were father and son!

How was this possible?!

She assumed Pei Zhan should have had a wife and child but didn’t expect such a big son!

At twenty years old, he quietly had a son six or seven years old, who was plump like a meatball. How could he manage that?

He could practically reach the sky with his capability!

"Zhen Er, Aunt Hu and the others are inviting me. I must go. Don’t you want to transcribe scriptures? You should go too. Don’t worry about what happened just now, I’m here for you."

By this time, Mrs. Fu had already composed herself, and a few familiar officials’ wives were in the distance.

Fu Zhen quickly nodded, "I’m fine. You should go!"

Watching Mrs. Fu leave, Fu Zhen also turned with turbulent emotions.

But before she could take a step, she was blocked from moving forward. Looking up, oh, what a coincidence!

Right in front of her, standing across the path, were Pei Zhan and his son!
