Chapter 90: Chapter 089: Beautiful and Impatient

Madam Du was stunned, looking at the woman in front of her covered in dust and blood, yet quick and alert, she found herself speechless.

She had always heard that Miss Fu of the Fu Family was frail and wouldn’t live long, but the woman before her, though thin and somewhat pale, didn’t at all seem like someone at death’s door.

What kind of dying person could chase so far, wield a knife, and fight off four men on a mountain?

She wasn’t weak at all!

Not only was she not weak, she looked capable of bearing three or five children without a problem!

And she had money! Her mother was the only daughter of a fabulously wealthy merchant! And she was her mother’s treasure!

She was beautiful too! Astonishingly beautiful! As ethereal as a fairy!

Indeed... except for being a bit too temperamental, what reason was there she couldn’t get married?

A woman like her would easily become a noble if married into the palace! With just a slight promotion, not many nobles in the city would ignore her, right?

Madam Du felt at a loss.

She was actually feeling a bit guilty, and her words came out somewhat unstable. "Then explain this to me! She’s your sister! Why would she want to kill you? And why didn’t your mother come today? I absolutely won’t go with you until you explain clearly!"

Otherwise, who knows if she’s up to some trick again?

Fu Zhen gritted her molars but the sun was already sinking low; she had to take her down, otherwise, traveling at night would be difficult. So, she said patiently, "Fu Rou is a concubine’s daughter! I don’t want to marry your son, but she certainly does! I heard you sent people to see my mother yesterday, and then she devised this poison plot to get rid of me, pretending to save you to achieve her goals!"

"My mother didn’t come likely because Mrs. Liu tied her up; aren’t such troubles in the backyard common? If I were part of this trap, if I were in cahoots with her, why would I break her limbs? Would it be to join hands with her to stage a bitter show for you?"

Her voice was full of sarcasm, making Madam Du want to retaliate but unable to!

An elder sister breaking her younger sister’s limbs for a performance was indeed too high a price. Even if they were accomplices, they wouldn’t do such a thing.

But thinking of her own undue misfortune and being plotted against repeatedly, Madam Du’s anger couldn’t dissipate.

"To raise such a concubine’s daughter, to allow such a concubine, you Fu Family are not good people either! Completely lack decorum! You all are rotten to the core!"

Hearing this, Fu Zhen simply couldn’t be bothered to respond and sat down with a step back.

Actually, Madam Du wasn’t wrong; the Fu Family was indeed rotten from top to bottom. The old lady doted on her son, treating him as a child who never grew up, believing everyone in the world should revolve around Fu Yun and make sacrifices for him. Fu Yun, indulged by her, knew nothing of discipline, with his eyes only on promotion and wealth.

The likes of Mrs. Liu fell into a pit of desires, wanting everything, daring to reach for anything.

Mrs. Fu was naturally good, but her tolerance over the past six years enabled Fu Yun and others to become worse. However, Fu Zhen was in no position to criticize her because without her many years of care, her original self would have likely been long dead, and Liang Ning’s spirit would have had no place to rest. Anyone could say something about it, but not Fu Zhen.

So, no more talk of the past. From now on, things like today must never occur again, not even a hint of it.

The Fu Family, in addition to the loving mother and brother, also had a future for which she needed the Fu Family’s reputation.

"Today’s matter, once we descend the mountain, I will give you an explanation." Fu Zhen turned her head, "Even though this affair indeed has nothing to do with me, and I’m the real target of their sinister plot, as a member of the Fu Family, I won’t shirk my responsibility. Once back, I will immediately ask my mother to discuss the annulment with you."

No matter how inappropriate Du Su’s couple was with the engagement, in this instance, she was innocent.

After all, the Fu Family was not just Fu Yun and Mrs. Liu’s bunch of scum; there were also her, Mrs. Fu, and the virtuous Fu Jia.

The reputation of these three people cannot be ruined by Fu Yun, Mrs. Liu, and their worthless crew.

At this point, it was impossible to maintain cordial relations with Du Su and his wife, so the annulment would be handled by Fu Zhen herself.

Hearing this, Madam Du’s face finally softened slightly. She said angrily, "You better keep your word! Otherwise, I won’t spare you!"

If word got out and caused an uproar, her being kidnapped would also come to light.

No choice but to settle accounts privately.

Fu Zhen looked at the darkening sky, stood up, and said, "Let’s go! Otherwise, we’ll have to travel by night in the dark."

Earlier, as they set off on horseback, she noticed the dense forest covering the mountain, the tree canopy shielding them, causing sunlight to diminish further.

She supported Madam Du to stand, but before stabilizing, Madam Du’s body tilted, and she fell down again!

"What’s wrong?"

Madam Du clutched her right ankle, her face turning pale, "My foot is injured. On the way here, while they were tying me up, I struggled and twisted my foot."

After saying this, she attempted to walk again, but immediately hunched over from the pain.

This was a troublesome situation.

Unable to walk, she could only be carried down or brought down. Fu Zhen looked around; there were indeed people, with two protectors still tied up, but after all Fu Zhen had gone through, she had expended more than half her strength, so if these two harbored ill intentions midway, she would be helpless against them.

This risk was one she absolutely couldn’t take.

She gritted her teeth and squatted before Madam Du, "Come on, I’ll carry you."

"You?"

Madam Du stared at her in disbelief, sizing up her much leaner figure, "You’ve got to be kidding! How could you possibly carry me?"

"What else to do?!" Fu Zhen was getting a bit frustrated with her dithering, "If you don’t get moving, you’ll be waiting to be eaten by tigers and wolves!"

Madam Du, yelled at, felt both angry and embarrassed, this little girl, young but with quite a temper!

But she didn’t have the nerve to yell back. After a moment of hesitation, she could only lie on her narrow back.

Fu Zhen gritted her teeth and tested the weight.

Indeed a bit heavy, and she wondered what was the point of eating so much for!

But still manageable, much easier compared to fighting.

Before leaving the city, she had left a message, so even if the soldiers at the city gate hadn’t passed it on, by this time Zhang Cheng and the others should be able to catch up on the mountain road below.

All she needed was to get out of the mountain trail with the people, and it would be manageable.

Fu Rou watched them leave and rushed forward anxiously, "...take me too, take me!"

Fu Zhen coldly left her a look, "Can’t take you, you fend for yourself! If my people arrive soon, you should just die back in the Fu Family! If you’re unlucky and they don’t arrive quickly, then your life will just be on the bandits’ heads!"

With that, she walked out of the temple gate.

Behind her were Fu Rou’s cries and the frantic shouts of the bound guards.

But who could care about them?

When they set this trap, they never thought about how pitiable and miserable it was for Fu Zhen to be ganged up by so many, repeatedly plotted against and poisoned by Mrs. Liu and her daughter, did they?
