Chapter 72: Chapter 071 This Feud is Settled!

Fu Zhen was stunned for a moment, then immediately greeted warmly, "General Pei, have you specially brought your son to offer incense today?"

Pei Zhan was originally here to intercept her, and hearing her speak like this, his face darkened, "Are you daring to spy on me?"

"How dare I? I was just sitting there talking to my mother and happened to overhear!" Fu Zhen smiled broadly, then turned to speak to the chubby boy, "Young Master Pei, hello!"

Last night, she had put in place protective measures and was confident that this chubby boy certainly wouldn’t recognize her!

Liang Xuan tilted his head to look at her, then said, "Sister, you are well too!" After speaking, he turned to Pei Zhan, "Do you know each other?"

Before Pei Zhan could speak, Fu Zhen had already responded, "General Pei is a great hero, famous far and wide, who in the capital city doesn’t know of him? Young Master Pei, you mustn’t misunderstand!"

In fact, at the first sight of Pei Zhan appearing before her, Fu Zhen immediately thought of the dagger she obtained last night.

However, hearing the earlier tone of this boy, and considering how cunning he was last night, it could be feared that his mother is no easy person to deal with. Fu Zhen must strictly maintain her distance to avoid bringing any trouble upon herself!

As for the dagger, she would rather speak to Pei Zhan about it later when avoiding this boy.

At present, she nodded to the two and intended to take a detour and pass by them.

Unexpectedly, just as she turned, her sleeve was tugged, and Pei Zhan said, "Leaving in such a hurry, is it because of a guilty conscience?"

Fu Zhen felt more wronged than Dou E, wasn’t she hurriedly leaving to avoid suspicion? Besides, what does this pulling and tugging look like?

Without hesitation, she slapped his claw away, and said sternly, "General Pei, please conduct yourself properly, arbitrarily pulling a young lady’s sleeve is not a proper habit."

Pei Zhan sneered, "I didn’t see you being so reserved before, last time, didn’t you grab my sleeve and ask me to take responsibility for you?"

"Ah—"

As soon as he finished speaking, beside them, Liang Xuan inhaled sharply, with eyes wide-open brimming with gossip, he covered his mouth and looked back and forth between the two of them! "What happened between you two?"

"Nothing happened!"

Fu Zhen hurriedly replied, then immediately glared at Pei Zhan, "General Pei, think carefully about what you say, sometimes you want to make a joke, but do you take them seriously too?"

"Ah, you joke with each other?" Liang Xuan’s eyes widened even more, "Just how familiar are you that you can actually joke?"

Growing up, not to mention seeing Pei Zhan make jokes, he never even saw him smile! With his demeanor, no one dared to joke around with him either!

Fu Zhen immediately felt her reputation ruined!

But she wasn’t scared easily.

Giving Pei Zhan a cool glance, she said, "General Pei, speak your mind, I have urgent matters waiting for me to attend to."

Forcing her to stay here, could it be to banter with her?

She still needed to copy scriptures for her little sister and, more importantly, calm her mind to think about how to handle the marriage with the Du Family!

Pei Zhan said, "Xuan Er, go play on your own for a bit."

Liang Xuan sighed and walked away reluctantly, looking back every three steps.

Pei Zhan casually waved his hand, and a guard not far away secured the intersection, ensuring a place convenient for speaking.

"If I am not mistaken, that day you mentioned after the alley blood case occurred, Liang Ning took away a dagger."

"That’s right!" Fu Zhen almost clapped her hands on her thigh in excitement upon hearing this!

Pei Zhan gave her a sideways glance, "But I have asked the Liang family, and none of them know about this dagger. Nor has anyone heard of this blood case. Can you explain why this is?"

Fu Zhen was immediately stumped.

From an outsider’s perspective, it indeed seemed difficult to explain because Liang Ning was so close with the family, events like this were expected to be shared with them.

But in fact, after returning home that night, Liang Ning did not sleep a wink, and spent the following three days busy with the Baihe Temple’s recitation conference, focused on blessing and bestowing salvation for her two brothers. In the face of such an important matter, a murder case unrelated to the Liang Family was not worth the time and effort to mention.

After all, at that time, Liang Ning never thought she would die. Moreover, her two sisters-in-law were both deeply engulfed in the sorrow of their husbands’ deaths.

Even if she knew all of this now, she was now Fu Zhen, so how could she explain it to Pei Zhan? If she were able to explain, wouldn’t it be even harder to clarify her connections with the Liang family?

"General Pei," after a moment of silent contemplation, she sighed, "If I told you that I am Liang Ning, would you believe me?"

As long as he believed three-tenths, she would guarantee to tell him everything!

Pei Zhan stared at her coldly: "I believe."

Fu Zhen suddenly looked up...

"Are you treating me like an idiot, or a three-year-old child?"

Pei Zhan’s voice was cold as ice, "Miss Fu, every time we meet, you have some new tricks up your sleeve.

"I warn you, if you continue to fabricate unconnected stories about Liang Ning, I will make you regret ever meeting me!"

Fu Zhen gawked with her mouth wide open...

The meat bun from back then dares to threaten her now?!

"From now on, I will count to three," Pei Zhan looked towards the horizon, "Answer my earlier question, why lie about there being a murder in the alley?

"If you can’t answer, we will meet at the government’s office first!"

At this moment, his aura as a commander who leads thousands of troops was fully revealed!

Even someone as experienced as Fu Zhen, even she who once treated him like a meat bun, rounding and flattening at will, didn’t dare to confront him head-on!

——This darned boy!

After fighting for a few years, he didn’t even recognize his elders!

He even dares to show off in front of her!

According to her temperament, she ought to pull out the dagger in her bosom right away and slap it on his face, so he could see with his own dog eyes whether she was lying!

But the fact was, damn it, she couldn’t pull it out!

She couldn’t draw it!

She had no way to explain where this dagger had come from?

Since it was the dagger Liang Ning took away, it should be Liang Ning handing it over!

But the problem now is, this brat simply doesn’t believe she is Liang Ning! Nor does he believe in any tales of soul rebirth!

She dared to guarantee that if she said one more word, this guy would immediately drag her to the government office and accuse her of ill intentions of spying on the Liang family!

For the first time, Fu Zhen was furious to the point of internal injury, yet unable to vent her anger!

Swallowing down the blood that surged up within her heart with great effort, she ground her teeth and spoke before he could say "three": "Give me three days to find that dagger. If I cannot give you an accounting in three days, I’ll let you deal with me as you wish!"

After saying this, she glared angrily again: "This matter is extremely relevant to someone important to you, surely General can wait for a mere three days, right!"

Damn brat, just watch and see!

This grudge is definite!

After three days, once she retrieves the dagger, watch her teach him a lesson!
