Exchange Fate! She Saved the whole family and the Short-Lived Marquis!-Chapter 143: Fu Changqin’s Scathing Rebuke of the Despicable Pair
Madam Fu then brought Fu Shinian and Mrs. Gu to the central and most spacious seat in the stands.
Over by Xiao Chengyu, without Madam Fu and Fu Shinian, Lin Qingqing had lost interest in stirring trouble.
Originally, with her temperament, she would certainly have mocked Fu Changqin.
But Fu Changqin was rather unconventional, and after interacting with him several times, including just now, she found herself countered by Fu Changqin’s unusual ideas.
All the while, Fu Changqin spoke with a serious demeanor.
It raised doubts whether he was genuinely being cryptic or truly thought that way.
In any case, talking to Fu Changqin was truly frustrating, so Lin Qingqing was uninterested in dealing with him.
She hadn’t forgotten encountering him before the spring examination, when she kindly offered him knee pads, only to be accused by Fu Changqin of shamelessness.
This man, he is simply absurd!
Lin Qingqing spoke no words, and Xiao Chengyu naturally ignored her and Xiao Fengxing.
He only spoke more when he was with Fu Shinian, and at this moment he had no intention of truly discussing academic matters with Fu Changqin.
Fu Mingzhu was competing in the field, so Fu Changqin watched his sister’s match attentively, no longer interrupting.
Feeling bored at this time, Xiao Fengxing was still simmering with anger, blindly staring at the match in the field.
Unintentionally focused on the competition, he was soon captivated by Fu Mingzhu.
Fu Mingzhu’s dashing appearance on horseback was something he had never seen before.
And, he had never seen this on any other woman.
At this moment, Fu Mingzhu seemed to be glowing.
For convenience in playing polo, she had tied her long hair up into a high ponytail.
As she leaned on horseback to snatch the ball, jumped to dodge the incoming opponent’s pole, and swung to hit, her ponytail swung high in sync with her movements.
Just then, a rider from the opposing side rushed over, swinging his pole directly at Fu Mingzhu’s horse’s belly.
Unable to help himself, Xiao Fengxing shouted, "Watch out!"
But as the stands were elevated, Fu Mingzhu couldn’t possibly hear him.
Even if she could hear, she wouldn’t scoff at Xiao Fengxing’s reminder.
She wasn’t blind.
Squinting her eyes to ready her horse to jump over, Gu Yunze suddenly appeared beside Fu Mingzhu, swinging his pole to block the attack.
"Shameless!" Gu Yunze shouted, forcefully countering and flipping the opponent off the horse.
"Thank you!" Fu Mingzhu said to Gu Yunze, then rode forward, received a pass from her teammate, and scored with her pole.
Xiao Fengxing involuntarily let out a sigh of relief.
The match ended with a victory for the team of Fu Mingzhu and Gu Yunze.
Xiao Fengxing’s gaze couldn’t help but follow Fu Mingzhu.
Yet Gu Yunze quickly caught up with Fu Mingzhu, walking alongside her.
Seeing Gu Yunze lower his head to speak with Fu Mingzhu, though the stands were high, Xiao Fengxing watched Gu Yunze’s movements from afar and could already feel that Gu Yunze seemed to have eyes only for Fu Mingzhu.
Xiao Fengxing squinted, did Gu Yunze actually like Fu Mingzhu?
But would the Gu family agree to let him marry a concubine’s daughter?
"Husband." Lin Qingqing called to him, placing her hand on Xiao Fengxing’s shoulder.
Xiao Fengxing turned back, Lin Qingqing lowered her eyes, said sadly, "Husband, I’ve called you many times just now."
"Did you..." Lin Qingqing said in a low voice, "Are you watching Fu Mingzhu?"
"Second Madam!" Fu Changqin sprang up, pointing at Lin Qingqing, "Mind your words!"
Lin Qingqing was startled by Fu Changqin’s sudden voice, looking at him in shock.
"My sister and Xiao Fengxing have no connection anymore." Fu Changqin said solemnly, "He himself is amorous, manage him, and don’t involve innocent people."
"You’ve ruined your own reputation, don’t think about dragging others down with you!" Fu Changqin shouted angrily.
"Mr. Fu, how can you insult me like this!" Lin Qingqing retorted angrily, "How have I ruined my reputation!"
"You secretly met with Xiao Fengxing, without a matchmaker or betrothal, is that considered a good reputation?" Fu Changqin spoke venomously, with no intention of sparing her.
"Xiao Fengxing is watching the match, whoever he’s looking at, he’s only watching the match." Fu Changqin warned, "If I hear you involve my sister again, I won’t rest until it’s settled!"
"How will you refuse to rest?" Xiao Fengxing replied coldly, looking disdainfully at Fu Changqin.
Fu Changqin spoke harsh words as if he could truly back them.
Xiao Fengxing mocked, "I am truly scared."
Fu Changqin laughed coldly and suddenly raised his voice, loudly saying, "Xiao Fengxing, since you’re already married, manage Lin Qingqing, you two shameless people should be locked up. She shamelessly snatched her husband and now treats him like a treasure, you’re just watching a match and she suspects you’re looking at another woman."
"What? Are you usually this lecherous?" Fu Changqin’s raised voice almost spread across half of the stand.
Though he didn’t mention Fu Mingzhu, when people heard his last words, they couldn’t help but look toward the field.
Fu Changqin’s voice wasn’t loud enough to reach that far down, so Fu Mingzhu was unaware.
She was just walking alongside Gu Yunze.
Whatever Gu Yunze said, Fu Mingzhu merely listened in silence, occasionally nodding in response, not displaying intimacy, keeping decorum with propriety.
But Fu Mingzhu did not cast even a glance in Xiao Fengxing’s direction.
"Xiao Fengxing, is he watching Fu Mingzhu?"
"I think so, Fu Mingzhu just now playing polo looked so dashing, even as a woman, I found it appealing."
"Wonder if Xiao Fengxing regrets it?"
"How can he regret it? Fu Mingzhu broke off the engagement more than half a year ago, and I don’t think Fu Mingzhu even cared about Xiao Fengxing, showed no sadness after breaking off. On the contrary, he’s the one already married, and now starts yearning for his ex-fiancée? No wonder Fu Changqin calls him shameless."
"Fu Changqin said they are a shameless pair." Li Zhaohui laughed, covering her mouth.
"But maybe Lin Qingqing misunderstands? As Fu Changqin said, she snatched the husband herself, so she feels he could be snatched by others too, doubly suspicious."
"Whether she misunderstands or not, she involved Fu Mingzhu, can Fu Changqin let it rest?"
"But who would’ve thought ordinarily Fu Changqin has an average reputation, but at critical moments fiercely protects his sister."
"Indeed, before it was Fu Mingzhu and Fu Shinian with the notable reputations, but there was hardly any mention of Fu Changqin. Turns out, the Fu family truly has no coward."
"Fu Mingzhu may not have truly forgotten Xiao Fengxing, right?" Zhou Xiulin, who had previously been rebuked by the emperor and empress for gossiping about Fu Shinian and Xiao Chengyu, was present today, and upon hearing this, couldn’t help but speak.
After being rebuked, Zhou Xiulin blamed it entirely on Fu Mingzhu and Fu Shinian.
