Chapter 187: Chapter 186: She Even Thought About Having a Baby! (Second Release, Please Vote)

The young girl’s face turned beet red immediately: "I’m not a bad person, I just came to have a look..."

"What’s there to see?"

Such a tender young sprout that can be squeezed to juice, undoubtedly not a spy sent by any enemy.

But sneaking around by someone’s window, that’s just inappropriate behavior, isn’t it?

"I was looking at her." The girl pointed inside the room at Mrs. Ning, "I really didn’t do anything, just wanted to see what she looks like."

This left Fu Zhen puzzled. "With so many people on the street, why did you come to see her specifically?"

"Because she might just be my future stepmother." The girl’s face dropped as she spoke.

Fu Zhen almost choked on her own saliva!

How come she hadn’t heard that Mrs. Ning was about to embrace a new marriage?!

"Where did you hear that? Who’s your father?" she exclaimed, inadvertently stirring up the scene!

"No one told me, I guessed it myself." The girl’s face tightened with seriousness, "Over the years, countless proposals have been made to my father, but he has never formally responded to any.

"But this time, he actually sent me here to learn housekeeping and finance from this woman!

"I’ve already inquired, and this Mrs. Ning lives alone too. Doesn’t that make sense?

"If my father didn’t favor her as a future stepmother, why would he have me learn from her?"

Fu Zhen was taken aback, giving her another look: "You’re Mr. Xie’s daughter?!"

"Oh," the girl turned her serious face over, "Do you know me?"

Fu Zhen, who had been holding her breath for a good moment, nodded: "Now I do!"

Fu Zhen had heard that Mrs. Ning was supposed to teach Xie Zhang’s daughter household management, but the idea of Mrs. Ning becoming her future stepmother, she truly hadn’t heard of before!

She had only been away from home one night, could things progress this quickly?!

Fu Zhen took a breath: "So after you saw her, what do you think?"

The girl shrugged: "I don’t think it’ll happen."

"Why not?"

"My dad doesn’t match up to her."

"..."

"Look at her," the girl gestured inside the window, "I heard she already had two kids, but she’s still slim and beautiful. My father, though only thirty-five, has started to gain weight. His looks might be considered handsome among average folks, but next to her, wouldn’t he be outshined by a long shot?"

Fu Zhen recalled Xie Zhang, although his figure was not particularly slim, he hadn’t really let himself go. Indeed, he couldn’t be called exceptionally handsome, but his deep-set eyes and heavy brows gave him a dignified appearance, often seen as a symbol of reliability and earnestness by many.

She asked, "So are you going to attend the housekeeping and finance class or not?"

"Yeah, I’ll attend." The girl replied, "I just wanted to see if she was intimidating. She’s a big boss, after all; they say wealth brings arrogance. If she’s indeed to be my stepmother, wouldn’t it make sense to be cautious and act nice?

"Now that I see she’s like this, I’m relieved; she wouldn’t fancy my father."

Fu Zhen genuinely admired her crooked and roundabout way of thinking.

Now she understood why they couldn’t succeed in hiring so many female tutors; with her wild imagination, few could handle it!

"By the way," the girl looked up again, "What should I call you, sister?"

"Oh," Fu Zhen took a breath and raised an eyebrow, "My surname is Fu, and I’m called Fu Zhen."

"Miss Fu, why are you here too?"

"Me? I’m the young owner here," Fu Zhen smirked, pointing inside the room, "I’m the daughter of that big boss inside."

"!"

Xie Yu covered her mouth in surprise! ...

...

After Yang Zhan brought Zhang Shicheng down the mountain overnight, he took him directly to Prince Rong’s Mansion and hadn’t released him or shared any updates.

Cheng Chili waited until Prince Rong and everyone returned before arranging for a few people to keep watch, and then left.

Just as he entered his home, Pei Zhan was already waiting outside the door.

Cheng Chili got into his carriage: "How are things with Mrs. Zhang and Yongping at Prince Rong’s afterwards?"

Pei Zhan replied, "Yongping and Xu Yin were the last to leave and didn’t leave with Prince Rong’s group. But Mrs. Zhang stayed by Prince Rong’s side, and from the look on Princess Rong’s face, I would say Mrs. Zhang has already managed to persuade Prince Rong."

"That’s good." Cheng Chili nodded, "If it really escalated to the palace, what’s there to fear? Although Yongping hasn’t made any significant mistakes, her servants are notoriously arrogant, often using her influence to rampage outside. These faults are more than enough to offset Aunt’s mistakes!"

Pei Zhan glanced at her, "Has she spoken to you privately?"

Cheng Chili couldn’t grasp what he meant: "About what?"

"About discussing marriage."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Chili’s face turned sour: "She hasn’t!"

"Can you say that again?"

Cheng Chili turned back with a resentful face: "You better give up on that idea; Aunt marrying you would be a great loss for her!"

"That might not be the case." Pei Zhan said composedly, with an indelible smirk: "She’s even thought about having children."

Cheng Chili almost fell forward!

"Such foresight and strategic thinking indeed suit her personality." Pei Zhan smiled, slowly sipping his tea.

"I don’t believe it!" Cheng Chili couldn’t stand his smug look!

"Believe it or not, it’s up to you." Pei Zhan said, "I called you here to give you a task, find time to bring her out, I have something to say to her."

"You guys have even discussed having children, why do you need me to arrange the meeting?!"

"We discussed it, but before I could respond, she ran off." Pei Zhan said, adding a hint of melancholy to his smugness.

Cheng Chili wanted to hit him!

"You want me to betray Aunt again, I won’t do it!"

"Then why didn’t you show up during the incident at the dining hall today?" Pei Zhan glared at him, "Why didn’t you step out to protect her?"

Cheng Chili was at a loss for words...

"If you don’t help, then next time such an incident happens, she’ll just have to swallow her pride." Pei Zhan continued, "When Yongping orders people to call her over, she’ll have to go. When demanded to kneel, she’ll have to kneel. If they say her kneeling isn’t good enough, slaps will fall on her face.

"If I can’t be her husband, then no one can justifiably stand by her side, including the Liang Family."

Cheng Chili knew from the beginning of the conflict between Fu Zhen and Yongping that he hadn’t shown himself because Pei Zhan was there, and he believed Pei Zhan’s presence would suffice!

Having more people intervene at that moment would only complicate matters because no one could boldly defend Fu Zhen against Yongping!

"Then why don’t you speak directly? Since Aunt has feelings for you, why not just explain it to her?"

Cheng Chili was still unconvinced.

"How could I do that?"

Pei Zhan deeply gazed at the street scene outside the window: "That would be pressuring her to make a decision.

"She never liked making passive choices, nor being pushed along a path.

"She wants everything to be in her control.

"So, even if my schemes led her to consider me, whether this path is worth taking and whether I’m worth choosing, I want her to decide for herself.

"If I spoke up, it wouldn’t be equal."
