Chapter 89: Chapter 088: Scream Again, and I Will Hit You Too! (Second Release, Asking for Votes)

Fu Rou was writhing on the ground in pain!

Fu Zhen pointed her knife at the protectors, "Take off your outer clothes!"

The trembling protectors quickly complied.

Fu Zhen tore their clothes into strips with a few swift moves, threw them to one of them, pointed her knife at another, and said, "Tie his hands behind his back for me!"

Once one was tied up, she stepped forward, flipped the other over, tied him securely herself, then added three more layers to the first one. Her skilled movements left the bound men speechless!

After dealing with these two, Fu Zhen quickly went outside to tie up the two injured robbers on the ground, and then hurried back inside with her knife to check on the Third Madam Du.

These people, including Fu Rou, were minor matters. The most important was the Third Madam Du!

Yet, as soon as Fu Zhen entered, she met the gaze of Third Madam Du, her eyes wide like eggs—

"...It’s you!"

Third Madam Du had woken up at some point, and after witnessing all this, she pointed hysterically at Fu Zhen, "You’re Fu Zhen! You Fu Family people are kidnappers! It was you who kidnapped me! It was you who kidnapped me!..."

Fu Zhen stopped at the door, frowning deeply.

No matter how fast she acted, no matter how desperately she tried to prevent things from worsening, she still couldn’t escape this result!

To Fu Zhen, the tricks of Mrs. Liu and her daughter weren’t the most terrifying. How many dangerous situations had she encountered before? The Liu mother and daughter were just inner court women, however vicious their means, compared to the battles between two countries, what did it amount to!

What she hated was that they dared to target the Third Madam Du and hated that they pulled her and Mrs. Fu into the water with their unscrupulous actions!

Fu Zhen’s goal had never been within the Fu Family. If she wanted to deal with Xu Yin, then without uniting all the people of the Five General Mansions, at least she couldn’t plant any seeds of discord within these five families. Her status wasn’t high enough; any one of these families having a grudge against her could become a hidden danger on her road to revenge!

This was also why she didn’t immediately face off with the Third Madam Du at the temple that day, and why she came early to the opera house today to observe Mrs. Fu’s meeting with the Third Madam Du. She didn’t want things to get too ugly.

She did want to break off the engagement, but breaking up with the Du Su couple wasn’t wise.

When Third Madam Du was suddenly kidnapped, she knew it was trouble, and later when she found out it was the doing of the Liu mother and daughter, she couldn’t stand by and watch!

Not to mention she had the ability to settle a few people, even if she didn’t, today she had to find a way to chase up the mountain!

The deeds done by the Fu Family would inevitably involve her and Mrs. Fu; they couldn’t clear their names!

She could only do her best to salvage the situation, preventing it from leading to greater consequences, only then could she possibly have a chance to speak up.

But she tried her best, and still couldn’t clean up the mess before Third Madam Du woke up!

"You’re so evil! Our old master must have been blind! To arrange such a marriage for us! I want to call off the engagement! I want to call off the engagement! I’m going to report you!..."

She held her head and screamed, showing signs of madness.

Fu Zhen couldn’t help but grab her shoulders, "Listen to me, they’re the ones who kidnapped you. It has nothing to do with me and my mother!"

"It’s you! It’s you! You’re all the same! You’re all Fu Family people, all named Fu!"

Third Madam Du struggled desperately to back away, her eyes burning with furious anger!

Extreme fear drove her to the brink of collapse.

She had never suffered hardships in the first half of her life; her husband was a scholar, not going to war with Du Xun, so the biggest ordeal she’d ever faced was fleeing with her family for a few years.

When she was kidnapped earlier, her nerves were already stretched to the limit. Fu Rou’s appearance made her mistakenly believe she had encountered a savior, but it wasn’t the case!

Then Fu Zhen arrived!

The moment she arrived, she cut off Fu Rou’s leg; more crucially, Third Madam Du recognized her as the young girl from the opera house earlier! The one wealthy young lady she liked at first sight!

She really was blind!

She first took Fu Zhen as a good person, then Fu Rou as a good person!

In the end, they were indifferent to killing, one calling thief to catch thief, setting this trap!

The whole Fu Family were no good! A den of thieves!

"I’m going to report all of you! To the Dali Temple, to the palace, I’m going to accuse your Fu Family until the end!..."

The sharp voice pierced Fu Zhen’s eardrums, and she suddenly shouted, "Can you calm down! If you scream again, I’ll hit you!"

Third Madam Du was frightened, and Fu Zhen, filled with a murderous aura, made her swallow the sounds that were about to pour from her mouth.

Fu Zhen gritted her teeth, glanced at Fu Rou who was groaning in pain nearby, and spoke with hate in her voice, "Listen, she’s the one who kidnapped people, it has nothing to do with me! She pretended to kidnap you today, but really wanted to kill me!

"Whatever you want to do about the Fu Family after you go back, I can’t stop you! But I ask you to get your facts straight!

"In my eyes, you’re not that important! I came up the mountain to clean up the mess, not to watch you go crazy, much less to make you think I’m an accomplice!

"I can take you back to the city quietly, to preserve your reputation!

"But if you’re willing to make a big scene, let everyone know that you, an imperial spouse, a dignified official family member, were kidnapped by bandits and stayed with them for half a day, then by all means!"

Third Madam Du was dumbfounded.

No one had ever dared to speak to her like that, but as angry as she was, she didn’t dare to not calm down.

The reputation of an official’s wife was important!

Seeing that she was silent, Fu Zhen also softened her voice, looked around, and said, "I’ll take you down the mountain first."

After saying this, she reached out to help.

Third Madam Du gritted her teeth and stared at her without moving. "Why should I trust you? I’ve already been fooled by that little bitch once, would I be fooled by you again and believe your good intentions?

"You’re not trying to give up this engagement, you want to marry into our Du Family, right? Dream on! After today, even if I died, I’d never let you have your way!"

Earlier, she fainted and quickly regained consciousness, and from the conversation between her and the protectors, she guessed Fu Zhen’s identity.

How could she possibly trust them?

They all had motives!

Fu Zhen squatted down, looking deeply at her, "Third Madam Du, listen carefully, I, Fu Zhen, never thought of marrying into your Du Family, let alone dreaming of marrying Du Mingcheng from your family.

"The engagement was arranged by both our elders. The facts have shown that there’s no fate or willingness between the two families, and I, Fu Zhen, more than anyone else, look forward to us dissolving this engagement as soon as possible.

"That day at the temple, you went through all that trouble, why not just come to the Fu Family afterwards to call off the engagement and be done with it? No need for all the entanglements.

"If there were pen and paper now, I could immediately sign a document with you, agreeing for both families to marry separately, with no ties! Even if your Du Mingcheng is the coveted bachelor among women worldwide, honestly, I, Fu Zhen, am not impressed!"

Third Madam Du, rebuked by her, was embarrassed, her face flushed with anger.

She stubbornly said, "I don’t believe it! Your Fu Family lags so much behind us in status, if you weren’t clinging to this engagement, where else could you find such a good family to marry into?"

Hearing this, Fu Zhen immediately let a mocking smile form at the corner of her lips, "Then tell me, why do you think I wouldn’t be able to find a husband?"
