Exchange Fate! She Saved the whole family and the Short-Lived Marquis!-Chapter 134: Second Madam, Aren’t You Going to Greet Me?
Although Gu Yunze’s aunt has not remarried to this day, she lives a very comfortable life in the Gu family.
No one in the Gu family has ever looked down on her.
Just this point alone is something that many families cannot compare with.
It is evident that the Gu family is indeed a rare family worthy of entrusting one’s life to. If Fu Shinian marries into the Gu Mansion, it seems she would face fewer constraints.
Gu Yunze would not take concubines; he is devoted solely to Fu Shinian.
Xiao Chengyu thought it over and couldn’t think of anything bad about Gu Yunze; even the Gu family adds to his appeal.
It must be that he hasn’t thought long enough. When he returns, he will definitely be able to find something amiss about Gu Yunze.
"Did I just hear that Mrs. Gu is organizing a polo match?" Xiao Chengyu asked.
"Yes." Gu Yunze thought that an invitation to the Marquis’s residence should arrive soon as well.
It’s impossible not to send an invitation to the Marquis’s residence for such an event.
Although Xiao Chengyu’s health is not too good, isn’t Xiao Yingyue still there?
Therefore, Gu Yunze didn’t say any more.
Thinking that anyway, Xiao Chengyu would know after he returned to the mansion.
Xiao Chengyu: "..."
As expected, the Gu family intends to form a marital alliance with the Fu family, wanting to match Gu Yunze with Fu Shinian.
He has encountered Gu Yunze and Fu Shinian several times already.
Even Gu Lingyi always clings to Fu Shinian.
Now, bringing up polo, Gu Yunze didn’t even bother to formally invite him.
Xiao Chengyu adjusted his breathing so as not to get angry.
Seeing Xiao Chengyu still there, Gu Yunze asked, "Does the Marquis have any other concerns?"
Xiao Chengyu: "..."
Does he think I interrupted him with Fu Shinian?
"I’m here to find the Second Miss." Xiao Chengyu said.
"Looking for me?" Fu Shinian thought, there shouldn’t be any matters recently, right?
Fu Mingzhu chuckled lightly and turned her head to Fu Shinian, "Shinian, we’ve been out for a while today, we should head back soon. Brother’s spring exams are imminent; if we keep going out, it might disturb his mindset."
"Elder Sister is right." Fu Shinian nodded.
Fu Mingzhu’s smile became even more radiant.
Her sister is always so obedient, always listening to her elder sister.
Fu Shinian then said to Xiao Chengyu, "My Lord, we are heading back to the mansion. If it’s not urgent, we can talk later."
After that, Fu Shinian bade farewell to Gu Yunze and Gu Lingyi before boarding the carriage.
Xiao Chengyu: "..."
Xiao Chengyu could only return to the mansion, and as he turned, he heard Gu Lingyi softly say to Gu Yunze, "Stop looking; their carriage has left."
Xiao Chengyu couldn’t help it, clenching his teeth.
Gu Yunze is indeed making a move on Fu Shinian!
As night fell, Fu Shinian grew curious, not knowing the state of affairs between Xiao Fengxing and Lin Qingqing.
Given how today’s wedding went, how could Lin Qingqing not be angry?
Unexpectedly, what she thought about happened.
A sudden "ding" rang in her head.
[Xiao Fengxing’s fortune -10, Lin Qingqing’s fortune -20, Xiao Chengyu’s fortune +10, Fu family’s fortune +20]
Fu Shinian’s eyes lit up, thinking maybe those two are arguing, affecting their relationship!
In her dream, Xiao Fengxing and Lin Qingqing were like gold and stone.
Xiao Fengxing cherished Lin Qingqing for her sacrifices, and Lin Qingqing was moved by Xiao Fengxing’s unwavering promise.
But now, Xiao Fengxing didn’t even show up at the wedding.
And marrying Lin Qingqing only tarnished his reputation further.
The two blamed each other; how could their relationship remain unbroken like gold and stone?
In the following days, Fu Shinian comfortably stayed at home, as the whole family prepared Fu Changqin for the spring exams.
Until the day before the spring exams, Fu Shinian took a moment to visit the Marquis Changping Mansion.
Nothing much, just to ask the old lady if Xiao Fengxing’s face has healed.
"Not yet." The old lady’s happiness was visible to the naked eye, and she looked even better, "There are still scabs on his face that haven’t fallen off. The doctor said he can’t scratch them, or they will leave scars. So although he’s anxious, he doesn’t dare move recklessly. But with this, he will miss this spring exam!"
Fu Shinian felt at ease now.
Tomorrow, once it’s confirmed that Xiao Fengxing can’t attend the spring exams, she expected a great gain in fortune value. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
After bidding farewell to the old lady, as Fu Shinian was walking out, she suddenly heard someone call her, "Second Miss!"
Fu Shinian turned her head and saw Lin Qingqing approaching with Liu Yue.
Lin Qingqing was already sporting a married woman’s hairstyle and looked quite rosy, a sign of good health.
It seemed that they initially clashed, but over time, Xiao Fengxing had coaxed her well.
Fu Shinian stood still, waiting for Lin Qingqing to approach.
"Second Miss." Lin Qingqing approached and called out, but saw no reaction from Fu Shinian, just standing there.
Lin Qingqing felt displeased but heard Fu Shinian say, "Won’t the Second Madam greet me?"
Lin Qingqing was taken aback; where did Fu Shinian get the confidence that she should greet Fu Shinian?
Liu Yue said unhappily, "Second Miss, these words are unreasonable. My lady is not of a lower status than the Second Miss, why should she greet the Second Miss?"
Fu Shinian tilted her head in confusion and said, "But I am a County Princess."
"Even though the Second Madam is married to the second young master of the Marquis’s house, the second young master is still an unranked commoner. Even he, upon seeing me, must greet respectfully." Fu Shinian blinked innocently, "Why does the Second Madam think she can be an exception?"
Lin Qingqing’s eyelids trembled, saying, "I... This was a lapse on my part; I didn’t expect the Second Miss to assert the title of County Princess."
Fu Shinian was intentionally putting on airs in front of her!
"There’s no need to put on airs, why is it putting on airs?" Fu Shinian said in confusion, "I am indeed a County Princess!"
"The Second Madam seems to disdain my imperial title of County Princess."
"It’s not like that." Lin Qingqing bit her lip and said, "It’s just that I have always regarded the Second Miss as a friend; didn’t expect the Second Miss would now wield her status against me."
"However, I must remind the Second Miss, no matter what, this is still the Marquis’s residence." Lin Qingqing said, "You can look down on me, but not on the Marquis’s house."
"You act so domineeringly towards me at the Marquis’s house, isn’t it because you don’t respect the Marquis’s house?" Lin Qingqing straightened her back, "Although I have no title, as a daughter-in-law of the Marquis’s house, I must uphold its reputation."
Fu Shinian asked puzzledly, "Living in the Marquis’s house means you don’t follow the rules? If you see Her Majesty, would you also not greet her? You are the daughter-in-law of the Marquis’s house, so you can’t easily bow, is that it?"
"You’re being argumentative." Lin Qingqing gritted her teeth, it was absolutely impossible for her to bow to Fu Shinian.
Fu Shinian was deliberately humiliating her.
"The old lady is someone who values rules the most." Fu Shinian said, "The Second Madam’s behavior doesn’t really uphold the Marquis’s reputation."
"Second Young Master!" Liu Yue suddenly shouted loudly.
Turning around, it was none other than Xiao Fengxing approaching.
Xiao Fengxing’s face still had bandages on it to keep him from tearing off the scabby scars.
