After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 186 - 185: Do you want her to have children for you in the future?

Chapter 186: Chapter 185: Do you want her to have children for you in the future?

The conflict between Mrs. Zhang and Yongping stems from a clash of interests. With such a significant General Pei around, it’s inevitable that Mrs. Zhang would want to ally with him.

The Zhang Family isn’t known for its niceties, yet at the moment, they can be utilized.

According to what Fu Zhen knows about Yongping, she won’t be able to swallow the insult of being hit, yet she can’t do anything against Pei Zhan, so she’ll undoubtedly go to the palace to complain to the Empress.

Liang Ning is well-connected with the palace; her nickname Taiping was bestowed by the Empress. Her move to the northwest was also sanctioned by the palace. Her minor achievements there have earned her recognition in the palace.

Yongping’s complaint provides Fu Zhen with an opportunity to meet the Empress.

The thought of meeting the Empress has lingered in her mind for a long time. But due to her status, she could only entertain the thought.

Despite the slap, Fu Zhen isn’t confident of emerging unscathed from the palace, but she’s at least sure it won’t cause serious harm.

Unexpectedly, Pei Zhan targeted Mrs. Zhang!

This is clearly more advantageous, dragging Mrs. Zhang into this mess, making her shield Fu Zhen, which is bound to deepen the conflict between Yongping and Mrs. Zhang. In other words, Mrs. Zhang will need to intensify her efforts against Xu Yin and Yongping from now on.

Once Fu Zhen realized Pei Zhan’s intention of using strength against strength, she immediately cooperated!

She said, "I didn’t expect the first time cooperating with General Pei would go so smoothly! Of course, it’s mainly due to General Pei’s foresight and strategic planning!"

Pei Zhan snorted lightly, "I don’t listen to flattery!"

"I’m serious," she replied.

Pei Zhan looked at her and then tossed a stone into the lake, causing gentle ripples on the calm surface.

A few cranes fluttered and took off.

Two pairs of mandarin ducks dove into the water plants.

He stood up and said, "Let’s go, it’s time to head down the mountain."

Fu Zhen matched his pace and asked, "Where did General Liang and the others go? I haven’t seen them all morning?"

Not only did Liang Chen and the others not show up, but Cheng Chili was also absent.

"Since you clashed with Yongping, it was inappropriate for them to appear, plus there’s no need for so many people."

This made Fu Zhen curious, so she glanced twice at Pei Zhan.

"What are you looking at?" Pei Zhan asked.

Fu Zhen gave a couple of dry laughs, "It’s nothing really."

Pei Zhan looked over, "If you’ve got something to say, just say it. This hemming and hawing isn’t like you."

"Alright, I’ll say it," Fu Zhen responded, "I heard from Junior General Cheng that recently your parents have been urging you to marry, which has been quite a bother for you."

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhan glanced at her again, "Yes, so what?"

"So, have you found any candidates recently? Are you discussing marriage?"

Pei Zhan stopped under a willow tree, putting his hands behind his back, "Not really. If I had someone in mind, I wouldn’t be troubled."

"What kind of person are you looking for?"

"That’s hard to say," Pei Zhan frowned, "It’s mostly about parental arrangements, matchmakers’ words. As long as the character is decent, I don’t have other requirements."

Fu Zhen nodded, "That makes sense."

Pei Zhan looked at the hairpin on her side facing him, a small tuft of fur shivering in the wind, "You’re not trying to set me up with someone, are you?"

Fu Zhen almost denied it but reconsidered and asked, "Since you have no demands for the bride and just want to give your parents an explanation, will you expect her to have children with you?"

A gust of wind brushed past Pei Zhan’s ear, painting the tip of his ears a shade of crimson.

Fu Zhen saw him stand silently for a long stretch and felt embarrassed, saying, "I was being presumptuous. Let’s go find General Liang and the others!"

With that, she took off walking forward.

Pei Zhan stood in the wind, the tips of his ears even hotter.

...

In fact, Fu Zhen isn’t a bashful person; the matters between men and women, though she hasn’t personally experienced them, she’s not ignorant either.

The men in the barracks often gather to talk lewdly, even though they try to avoid her, there’s always a slip sometimes.

Moreover, during her time in the capital city, she sneaked peeks at the novels sold under the table in major bookstores. Though she hadn’t read them all, she’s skimmed through at least sixty to seventy percent. Talking about having kids is nothing new to her.

But after she spoke, she recalled that Pei Zhan has always been an upright person since youth, very likely a virgin at twenty...

Discussing things like that with him was indeed inappropriate.

She didn’t even manage to succeed before falling into a pit!

Good thing she ran fast.

Ever since she took the Liang Family’s health tonic, her stamina improved significantly.

As long as she ran fast enough, awkwardness couldn’t catch her.

"Boss!"

Just after leaving the lakeside, Cheng Chili and Liang Zhi came up to her, both looking worried.

"Heard Yongping gave you trouble?"

"It’s fine. She didn’t gain any advantage and got slapped instead."

Fu Zhen quickly summarized what had happened, which put them at ease. After cursing Xu Yin and Yongping a few times, Pei Zhan arrived as well, and the group returned to their rooms in batches, preparing to head down the mountain.

Liang Chen and the others were concerned that Prince Rong’s Mansion might still cause trouble for Fu Zhen, so they had Cheng Chili accompany Fu Zhen down the mountain first while they covered the rear.

Before heading down, Fu Zhen took three bracelets to Cheng Kong for blessing and went straight to Wanbin Building once she reached the city.

Mrs. Ning had been staying at the shop for several days.

After much effort, Wanbin Building shot to fame in the capital city; it gained instant popularity with more and more high-ranking officials and nobles frequenting the place.

With fewer people in the afternoon, she stayed in the shop hall. The shopkeeper, surnamed Feng, made her a pot of tea and said, "Everything in the building is progressing smoothly, Master. You may take some rest."

Mrs. Ning waved her hand, "I’ll leave later, waiting for someone. Bring today’s ledger for me to review."

Cheng Chili dropped Fu Zhen off at the store entrance and left to inquire about Yang Zhan and Zhang Shicheng, who returned last night.

Fu Zhen was about to step through the door when she spotted a little girl leaning under a nearby window, having her maid help her up to peer inside.

Fu Zhen watched them and saw it was a young girl about fourteen or fifteen, wearing brocade clothing, not lavishly adorned but of fine quality.

From behind, her looks were unseen, but her voice was clear and crisp, "Lift me a bit more, I can’t see properly!"

The maid, younger than her, strained to push her up, her cheeks reddening with the effort.

Fu Zhen approached from behind and followed their gaze, noting that it was past mealtime, and the hall was sparsely populated, with Mrs. Ning seated within their line of sight, reviewing a ledger.

She curiously asked, "What are you looking at?"

Both the master and the servant jumped in fright, immediately tumbling together on the ground.

This allowed Fu Zhen to see the girl’s face, fair and tender, with plump, smooth skin, a round face, and a pair of sparkling, jet-black eyes.

Though clearly startled, upon seeing Fu Zhen, she couldn’t help showing a hint of surprise.

Fu Zhen crossed her arms, "Who are you? At such a young age, learning to peep?"
