Chapter 73: Chapter 072: Hurry and Propose Marriage! (Second Release, Request for Votes)

Not sure if it was Fu Zhen’s fierce expression, or because her words were so powerful, but Pei Zhan, who originally looked like an eagle facing its predator, after casting a glance at her for a moment, coldly withdrew his gaze.

"Then I will give you one last chance. If in three days you can’t give me an explanation, Miss Fu, you better be prepared."

Pei Zhan cast her a brief look, stepped past her, and left the narrow path.

Fu Zhen watched his back, suddenly kicking a stone towards him! It hit his heel perfectly—

Pei Zhan turned back.

Fu Zhen immediately stood upright, dispelling the anger from her face, and forced a smile!

"General, take care!"

——It’s fine, a gentleman’s revenge is never too late, even after ten years.

Fu Zhen can endure hardship and adapt!

Someday, she will surely make him respectfully kneel and call her Granny!

Pei Zhan looked at the person with the fake smile and had no temper left.

What kind of person is this!...

Liang Xuan was peeking from the other side of the dragon-cypress tree, observing the two people on the road.

Liang Chen came to his side, glanced a few times, and said, "What are you looking at?"

Liang Xuan was startled, turned to see it was his father, quickly raised a finger, signaling him to be silent, and then whispered, "Fifth Uncle is over there with a sister who looks like a fairy in a painting!"

"Your Fifth Uncle?... With a ’sister’?"

Liang Chen was extremely curious, pushed aside the leaves to look, but could only see the back of the young girl. He said, "Which family’s young lady is she? How did they meet?"

"I don’t know, Fifth Uncle didn’t say! But he just pulled on that sister’s sleeve and said last time she told him to take responsibility!"

"How is that possible?!" Liang Chen didn’t believe it, "How could he be pulling and tugging with a girl?"

Liang Xuan put on a stern face: "If I’m lying, then may the heavens forbid me from eating candy for a month!"

Liang Chen opened his mouth, looked again, and Pei Zhan was indeed storming over with a stern face!

And the girl behind him was indeed as beautiful as a fairy, only she seemed bad-tempered, as she was kicking stones at Pei Zhan!

With Pei Zhan’s usual temperament, he didn’t just squeeze her to silence!

——Interesting!

...

Pei Zhan’s sudden appearance completely disrupted Fu Zhen’s plan.

After all, this dagger was so important, she couldn’t hand it over easily, she had to pluck a few hairs from him somehow.

But who could have thought before she figured out how to pluck those hairs, he would appear?

The dagger Liang Ning took, even if she were to find it, it would definitely take some effort, and it would surely take ten days or so to make sense.

Having to hand it over in three days, what kind of appropriate excuse should she find?

Thus, she couldn’t stay on the mountain any longer.

After copying the scriptures, she quickly went down the mountain with Mrs. Fu and those familiar official wives, not even attending to the marriage proposals with the Du Family.

Madam Du San returned to the residence before her, not even seated properly, hastily fetched Du Su from the government office.

Hearing about the encounter at the lotus pond with Juyan and Pei Zhan’s uncle and nephew, Du Su was anxious and jumping: "How could you be so careless? Let them hear, isn’t this stirring up a big trouble?!"

Madam Du San was distraught: "I didn’t act recklessly, it was all planned out knowing that Mrs. Fu was weak and easy to bully, determined she would retreat once encountering difficulty, so I took this step!

"Who would have thought she would suddenly become so strong? And who could have thought that General Pei and that young kid from the Liang Family would be there? - Alas, scolding me now is pointless, better think about how to handle it from here!"

"What else can we do?!" Du Su slammed the table, "You messed up everything, and now apart from obediently proposing, what other choice is there? Should I await their complaint in front of elder brother and sister-in-law, and face the consequences?!"

Madam Du San was thoroughly unwilling, but after opening her mouth, she couldn’t refute.

She said, "Then when do you plan to go propose?"

Du Su huffed in anger, pacing back and forth twice, saying, "Now it’s completely out of our control, naturally, the sooner the better! Whatever happens later, we’ll worry about people’s mouths first!"

After saying this, he pointed at Madam Du San again: "Prepare in the next few days, and find a time to first visit the Fu Family, repair relations a bit. Otherwise, if you rashly visit, you’ll receive cold treatment!"

Madam Du San no longer had the standing to say no, she could only nod reluctantly after hearing this.

Meanwhile at the Fu Family, the people Mrs. Liu sent out had also returned.

After hearing their account, Mrs. Liu immediately said, "Did you personally hear Madam Du San say this? Did you see the Madam directly confront him head-on?"

"Everything was heard and seen with my own ears and eyes!"

"And you saw with your own eyes that General Pei witnessed this scene?"

"Absolutely true!"

Mrs. Liu’s face immediately brightened!

After dismissing the person, she started pacing in her room: "The Du Family is set on breaking the engagement, but the matter was witnessed by General Pei! This marriage certainly can’t be annulled!"

"That’s great! Mother, do I still have a chance?"

Mrs. Liu looked at Fu Rou’s face, full of hope but covered with scars, biting her teeth tightly: "Of course there’s a chance! Even if you can’t be the main wife, you can still be a concubine! Why should such a good marriage be exclusively taken by Fu Zhen? Even if we risk everything, we can’t let her succeed!"

"Be a concubine?" Fu Rou opened her mouth wide, "Why should I be a concubine? I’m a legitimate official’s daughter, I won’t be a secondary wife!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu slapped her: "Who are you looking down on?"

Fu Rou immediately covered her face, unable to speak!

Mrs. Liu, with a gloomy face, said: "Don’t think you stand above others just because you’re an official’s daughter. Even if you become the Empress, I am still your mother!"

Fu Rou cried and threw herself into her arms: "Daughter dares not! Daughter is just afraid that if I can’t be the head wife, I won’t be able to repay mother’s and brother’s kindness! How dare daughter forget mother’s upbringing?"

Mrs. Liu, calming down, said: "How could I not know your thoughts? But now your father is unwilling to help us, and it’s impossible for you to be the head wife!

"Don’t underestimate the ’concubine,’ if you can be in the Du Family, it’s still good.

"In the future, like your mother, give birth to several children for the family, and your benefits won’t be limited.

"Moreover, you are different from Mother. With a body like Zhen’s, can she bear children?

"She can’t, so the Du Family will rely on your body to continue the line. Then even if you don’t have the title of the main wife, you will have the reality of one! What else could you possibly lack?"

Mrs. Liu helped her up: "I guess the Du Family will soon come to propose. If you want to enter the Du Family, it now depends on ourselves, you must also strive
