Chapter 93: Chapter 092: Turns out to be an Expert! (Second update, seeking votes)

Only when Fu Zhen’s carriage was on the road back to the city did Pei Zhan withdraw his gaze and look towards the mountain ahead: "Go up the mountain!"

The mountain trail was rugged, nestled between dense forests, barely allowing one person to go in and out.

As he rode through, Pei Zhan thought of Madam Du’s third wife crying to her husband about spraining her foot before heading up the mountain, which meant that Fu Zhen carried her all the way down. The stature of Madam Du’s third wife wasn’t just slightly plump; compared to Fu Zhen, she was nearly twice as wide. How did she manage it?

After spending only two or three moments to ride up to the Mountain God Temple, his brows furrowed even deeper.

It had taken that long to ride up the mountain, so clearly, walking would take even longer, making the journey even more arduous.

"General!" Guo Song, who had gone ahead to scout, quickly came out of the temple, "Four bandits are indeed tied up inside, two of them injured, and there’s also a young lady with a broken leg who looks quite in danger; she’s most likely the second young lady of the Fu Family! According to their account, it was indeed Miss Fu who tied them, and she had no accomplices!"

Pei Zhan immediately dismounted and strode into the temple.

The guards’ torches illuminated the people on the ground. Pei Zhan looked at each of them, examined their injuries in their frightened gazes, and checked the knots on the ropes binding them. Finally, he stopped in front of the barely conscious Fu Rou and knelt to inspect her broken leg.

The injury was at the knee joint, not completely severed, but the cut was so precise that the leg was certainly rendered useless.

Looking at her other leg, it was injured without an open wound, but the area was already swollen significantly. Unlike the severed leg, it couldn’t move at all—undoubtedly, the femur was broken. Even if it could be healed, she would at most be able to stand, certainly unable to walk in the future.

Her arm was dislocated from the shoulder, with the joint shattered.

There were no repeated marks on these injuries, indicating each was from a single strike.

For a layperson, achieving this was impossible.

But for an expert, none of this was difficult, as long as they targeted the right spot, no excessive force was needed.

With such skilled execution, it’s clear Fu Zhen was a seasoned expert. Though lacking in strength, she possessed incredibly rich experience in combating enemies. Her daring venture alone into danger proved she had the calm, composed temperament of a Martial Artist.

But how did such a frail person, lacking even the agility to climb over a wall, gain such proficient skills?

Any average lady encountering such a situation would likely be terrified. Yet she, reputedly never leaving her home, faced it all with practiced calm—how did she develop such courage and insight?

Her decisive actions prevented the situation from worsening; how did she cultivate such quick reflexes?

The matter arose from the Fu Family; it was reasonable for her, as a member of the Fu Family, to handle the aftermath. But it wasn’t an expectation placed upon her; no one would demand a sickly young lady to bear such responsibility.

Although Pei Zhan had seen strong women before, Fu Zhen was extremely frail, yet she managed to rescue Madam Du’s third wife from six men—even if their skills were unimpressive, they were still six grown men. How did she achieve this rescue and carry her down the mountain alone without an extraordinary will?

He picked up a hairpin on the ground, saw the character "Zhen" on top, and after gazing at it for a moment, he stood up.

"Take them down the mountain. Have them recount everything that happened on the way, with no detail omitted."

...

After dismissing Li Huai, Mrs. Fu immediately had Li Jiang bring Fu Jia to her side. Taking advantage of the money she had on hand, she had the subdued Protectors escort Nanny Qi to Rongfu Hall, locked the Hall’s main door herself, and put Jin Zhu on guard personally!

Once Fu Jia was by her side, she didn’t let him take a step away from her. At that moment, Zhang Cheng and Bi Xi returned with a report, and Mrs. Fu was struck by a bolt from the blue, cursing Mrs. Liu for her unseemly actions while worrying about Fu Zhen’s safety.

Fortunately, Zhang Cheng remembered that one of the nephews whom Fu Zhen had turned against was still at the mansion, so he sent for him immediately to return to the sect and bring some people to heed Mrs. Fu’s instructions.

Once manpower was at hand, everything became easier to manage!

Mrs. Fu first arranged for someone to notify Fu Jun at the government office.

On his way back, Fu Jun stumbled several times, knowing his concubine had caused a major incident. In Mrs. Fu’s presence, he didn’t dare show any confidence and immediately took people to bring Mrs. Liu back, then left the city again to find Madam Du and Fu Zhen.

Mrs. Fu stayed in the mansion, beat Mrs. Liu until she was thoroughly injured, had her put her fingerprint on the confession, and then locked her up. She also sent people to thoroughly search Mrs. Liu’s residence!

The search not only revealed the intercepted silk and wealth but also evidence of her involvement with men from her past during her time as an outside mistress.

Fu Zhen returned to the mansion without stopping, and Mrs. Fu had already come out to welcome her. The two of them had met only that morning, but after just one day that felt like a lifetime, they hugged and cried in each other’s arms, sobbing like survivors after a disaster.

Especially Mrs. Fu, who had barely pulled herself out of recent sorrow, faced another fright today. She was completely exhausted from being on edge all day and held Fu Zhen’s hand, unable to let go. Only after repeatedly confirming that Fu Zhen hadn’t suffered any severe injuries did Mrs. Fu finally feel at ease.

Fu Zhen informed her mother of her agreement to break off the engagement with Madam Du, and without hesitation, Mrs. Fu nodded: "I never intended to use this engagement to coerce the Du Family, only hoping they would show a bit of responsibility.

"Now that things have turned out this way, it doesn’t matter anymore. I’ll personally visit them another day to settle this matter."

Fu Zhen said, "Thank you, Mother, for not blaming me for acting on my own."

"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Fu caressed her face, sighing, and tears welled up again. "Compared to your safety, nothing else matters. Even if we can’t find a good husband for you, I’ll keep you in a house of gold and silver all your life. What’s the harm?!"

Fu Zhen wiped her tears and smiled: "Indeed, good times are waiting for us!"

After talking for a while, a messenger came from outside to report that Fu Jun had already picked up Fu Rou at the foot of the mountain and was on his way back. Mrs. Fu urged Fu Zhen: "Go wash up, eat something, and then have a good sleep. You’ve gone all day without eating and endured such an ordeal; your body can’t bear it.

"When they arrive home, I need to settle the score with them, so I won’t accompany you. I’ll have Jin Zhu follow you."

As Mrs. Fu spoke, she called Jin Zhu over, repeatedly instructing her to serve well.

Then, she sent someone to fetch a doctor to check on Fu Zhen’s injuries and asked when Fu Jun would arrive at the mansion. Meanwhile, she returned to open the boxes containing all the documents from when they took over the residence and brought them all out.
