After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 179 - 178: Aren’t you afraid that Liang Ning will come knocking at your door?

Chapter 179: Chapter 178: Aren’t you afraid that Liang Ning will come knocking at your door?

Fu Zhen thought it was unwise to spend too much energy on this issue.

Everything was for revenge, to kill the traitor. The process wasn’t important; perhaps bold ideas were better.

If everyone could reach a consensus and treat each other as comrades against a common enemy, it wouldn’t be a bad thing, would it?

It’s just that I don’t know if Pei Zhan will accept this proposal.

That kid has always been rigid, so he might not accept the idea of becoming fake husband and wife with his brother’s aunt!

Forget it, I’d better find an opportunity to probe his intentions first.

Fu Zhen patted Cheng Chili’s shoulder and stood up: "It’s been a long night, go rest."

Cheng Chili suddenly said: "Boss, do you know what I heard the guards saying outside the door just now?"

"What?"

"They said that the Princely Heir’s wife from Prince Rong’s Mansion was just asking about all the pilgrims offering incense tonight, especially the young female pilgrims."

Fu Zhen frowned: "What do you mean?"

Earlier, Prince Rong and his son were so frightened, and it seemed that the women in their mansion didn’t know about the Baiyu Lane case. At this moment, they should quietly stay in their rooms to deal with this wave, but Mrs. Zhang still has the mind to inquire about others?

Cheng Chili said: "She’s only inquiring about young female pilgrims, which made me think it might be aimed at you, Boss. After all, she knows Sister-in-law Liang, right?"

Fu Zhen thought for a moment, then came to a realization: "Are you saying that my earlier actions in Xu Yin’s room have caught her attention?"

Cheng Chili nodded: "Xu Yin shielding you behind the curtain wasn’t normal, and with Zhang Damazi appearing there after the curtain was drawn, Mrs. Zhang probably can’t get over it in her heart."

This reasoning was not without merit.

Fu Zhen recalled the aggressive manner in which Mrs. Zhang barged into the room earlier and said: "She isn’t targeting me; she should be targeting Xu Yin instead."

The relationship between Mrs. Zhang and Princess Rong’s mother and daughter is already like fire and water. With Zhang Shicheng between them, there’s almost no chance of reconciliation.

The conflict between the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law in the Prince Manor is essentially a struggle between two factions. The situation where she hid in Xu Yin’s room earlier was indeed easy to cause misunderstandings. Mrs. Zhang, being so astute, would naturally have her speculations about Xu Yin’s actions.

Inquiring about the female pilgrims who went up the mountain is naturally to find a possible target.

Xu the villain, with such a handsome appearance and being a high-ranking official, inevitably attracts some women as blind as Liang Ning willing to get close.

She said: "With Mrs. Zhang’s skills, she will surely investigate up to me. It’s impossible to hide, so find a way to let Xu Yin know about this, and let him deal with it."

Cheng Chili was skeptical: "Will he really obey like that?"

"He will. Because he really did hide me earlier." Fu Zhen’s gaze was profound, "I, Fu Zhen, am not important to him at all. His actions prove this, but he wouldn’t want this matter to cause an accusation to fall on him in Yongping.

"For so many years, he has kept himself clean. Do you really think it’s because Yongping is skilled at managing her husband? It’s just that he knows too well how to avoid trouble.

"What Mrs. Zhang did is merely causing him trouble, and he certainly wouldn’t agree to that."

The Baiyu Lane blood case tied him to Prince Rong’s Mansion, and he wouldn’t allow any rift with Yongping.

"Alright, then," Cheng Chili clapped his hands, "I’ll have someone spread the message to Xu the villain, anyway, there are no good people in the Zhang Family!"

...

After Zhang Shicheng was brought back by Yang Zhan, he quickly went down the mountain with him after reporting to Prince Rong.

Mrs. Zhang couldn’t get any reason despite asking why and was very eager to follow them down the mountain. However, as the Prince Rong couple were still on the mountain, having come specifically to offer incense for Yang Shen, leaving before offering it was not appropriate, so she had no choice but to stay, frequently inquiring for results from Pei Zhan’s side.

But Pei Zhan searched with his men for half the night and found nothing.

As a prominent General Pingxi, a top-ranking official in the court, not a subject of Prince Rong’s Mansion, nor a constable of the Shuntian Prefecture, coming to search at Prince Rong’s request already gave tremendous face, so how could Prince Rong insist on asking him to continue the investigation?

Pei Zhan’s men stopped at midnight.

The commotion at Prince Rong’s Mansion lasted half the night, surely disturbing everyone in the temple, and rumors of the temple being haunted began to spread.

With this, how could the people of the prince’s mansion sleep?

Princess Rong paced back and forth restlessly, occasionally glancing at the closed doors of Prince Rong and Xu Yin’s rooms.

Yongping could only curl up and tremble, urging someone to invite the monks for rituals and chanting to exorcise ghosts.

Mrs. Zhang, irritated by the mother and daughter, couldn’t help but sneer: "Sister, you’ve done nothing wrong, so why are you so scared? Oh, I almost forgot, that former fiancée of Xu Yin, didn’t she just die in a fire at Baihe Temple? It should have been a good marriage, but you instead ended up in Mrs. Xu’s position. Are you afraid she’ll come looking for you?"

Indeed, Yongping had done some things secretly behind Liang Ning, an issue only she and the Prince Rong couple knew about. The matter had already been embarrassingly exposed by Xu Yin previously, creating an emotional burden. With such an incident suddenly happening tonight, how could she not overthink?

Now, provoked by Mrs. Zhang’s words, she became instantly shocked and angry: "Mrs. Zhang, don’t slander me! What evidence do you have?"

Mrs. Zhang tilted her lips: "What evidence do I have? Even if there is, we’re all family. Would I report you to the Liang Family?"

Yongping’s face turned red with embarrassment.

"Shut up!" Princess Rong, hearing the quarrel, came over. "Mrs. Zhang, I think you should remember, you are someone from Prince Rong’s Mansion. You have a son who bears the surname Yang! If you stir up trouble now, I will make you regret it!"

Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth to speak, but Princess Rong continued: "I may not know what Zhang Shicheng has done, but I will find out sooner or later. Since the Princely Heir was able to take him down today, so can I in the future.

"You have only this brother. When your father passes, if even this brother is gone, let’s see how arrogant you can still be!"

Mrs. Zhang lowered her head: "Daughter-in-law dares not!"

"Get out!"

With Princess Rong’s angry shout, Mrs. Zhang exited the room.

The light under the door illuminated her left hand, which had bloody marks from being pinched by the nails of her right hand!

"Princely Heir’s Wife!"

The nanny immediately followed.

With a cold face, Mrs. Zhang went out of the corridor and suddenly stopped at the courtyard gate: "Had my inquiries found anything?"

The nanny said: "We have already sent someone, but due to the assassin’s news spreading earlier, the monks in the temple dare not show the entire list. We can only continue to investigate later."

Baihe Temple is a Royal temple, and they wouldn’t necessarily fear Prince Rong’s Mansion.

If they refused to provide the list, they could not forcibly seize it.

Mrs. Zhang gritted her back teeth: "Then keep an eye on it! Until they are willing to release the list!"

The anxiety over Zhang Shicheng was burning fiercely in Mrs. Zhang’s heart, along with the heavy anger from Princess Rong firmly pressed on top!

Xu Yin must have hidden a woman; if it were a man, there would be no need to hide them!

This person must be found. Only by finding her can the reason why Zhang Shicheng appeared in Xu Yin’s room be explained!

She had to save her brother!
