Fu Zhen paused slightly and replied: "Let's sit down and talk first."

Pei Yu turned to Mrs. Pei and said, "Did you hear that? She didn't call me dad just now, she called me General!"

Mrs. Pei looked in disbelief and looked at Fu Zhen and said, "Girl, is it true what this bastard Zhan'er said? Do you really want to break up with him?"

Fu Zhen turned around and glanced at Pei Zhan, who was sitting squarely on the chair. He supported Mrs. Pei and said, "Sit down first. Actually, it's not what you two thought. We didn't break up."

"We didn't break up? Why did you abandon him when we didn't break up?" Pei Yu's face was full of shock.

Fu Zhen couldn't help but smile and comfort him: "You are serious. It's not abandonment. It's because——"

The real reason is too hot to say.

The couple stared at her closely: "Why, just tell me!"

"Why are you forcing her to do this?" Pei Zhan asked, "Didn't I tell you earlier? I don't want to let this go. She happened to agree, and we hit it off right away!"

"Isn't marriage just a child's play, where you can get together as soon as you want, or divorce as soon as you want?" Pei Yu yelled, "If you don't take back what you said today and make a good apology to you, you will never come out like this!..."

Fu Zhen said: "This marriage, in fact, General Pei is helping me. He is trying to help me get revenge."

Pei Yu and his wife suddenly became quiet when they heard this.

Pei Zhan couldn't help but sit up straight. Telling the facts can indeed be used as an explanation, but how can such a fact be suitable to be told to them as elders? No matter how reasonable Pei Yu and his wife are, they still find it difficult to accept that the person standing in front of them is Liang Ning, who has been dead for six years!

"Revenge?" Pei Yu asked, "What kind of revenge?"

"The general should remember my grandfather, right?" Fu Zhen avoided the gaze of Pei Zhan, who had stood up nervously, and said, "The general should already know that my mother was a witness to the murder of the emperor's eldest son. No. To tell you the truth, my grandfather’s death has an inexplicable relationship with this case.”

As a witness, Mrs. Ning has been invited to cooperate with the Third Division for several interrogations. This is not a secret. Even if Ning Bochi had given the letter to Mrs. Ning, Pei Yu had already heard from Pei Zhan that since the person who died in Baiyu Hutong was the emperor's eldest son, there is no doubt that Ning Bochi and the emperor's eldest son had known each other.

Pei Zhan stood there blankly.

Pei Yu and his wife immediately had questions because of Fu Zhen's words: "The old gentleman is said to have died of illness. How come his death is related to the death case?"

"Xu Yin once instigated He Qunying to borrow a boat from the Ning family and told us a clue that his grandfather's illness was caused by an accident at the Huzhou dock. A close friend who helped my grandfather after he was in danger also confirmed that it was indeed There is such a thing. Yesterday, General Pei helped me go to the prison to ask Prince Rong and his son, but they denied involvement in this matter. "

"Is there such a thing?" Pei Yu's anger turned to confusion, "Why haven't I heard you say it before?"

Fu Zhen smiled: "This is my Ning family's business, how can I disturb you, General?"

After all, the real reason for revenge is not suitable to be stated. Once it is stated, it becomes extremely complicated.

Pei Yu was about to scold her for not showing up, but when he thought about the quarrel between the two of them, he lowered his voice: "Girl, you are rambling here and there. What does your grandfather's matter have to do with you two? Do my old Pei family still have a relationship?" Can’t you afford the Ning family’s affairs? You want to leave us like this!”

"Please forgive me," Fu Zhen bowed first, and then said, "The cause of the matter is this: after I heard about the Baiyu Hutong case from my mother, I found out that it involved Miss Liang's Aunt, and also involved Prince Rong's Mansion. So he felt that this matter was not trivial, so he decided to investigate the case, firstly to redress Miss Liang's grievance, and secondly, to bring Prince Rong and his son to justice. Of course, the most important thing was because after my mother and father separated, the Ning family had a low status. To be honest, if King Rong finds out that there is a witness to their crimes in the world, he will definitely take revenge on us.

"I didn't want to sit back and watch my family being frightened day and night. General Pei found out about this, so he volunteered to marry me and become my support. So General Pei helped me out of kindness and was not at fault. On the contrary, I owed Pei The general still has feelings for the Pei family."

Pei Yu and his wife were stunned when they heard this, and they looked at Pei Zhan after a while: "Is that what happened?"

Pei Zhan didn't expect Fu Zhen to smooth things over like this. He turned away and cleared his throat vaguely: "Just take what she said."

Pei Yu and his wife sat down. After taking turns to look at the two people in front of them, they each exchanged a look and stood up again. Pei Yu motioned to Pei Zhan: "Follow me!"

Mrs. Pei also took Fu Zhen's hand: "Let's talk in another place!"

The two of them were pulled out of the hall separately!
Fu Zhen followed Mrs. Pei through the hall and into the open pavilion on the east side.

Mrs. Pei waved him away, and then pulled Fu Zhen to sit down. Having been pampered by her husband all her life, she patted Fu Zhen on the back seriously: "Girl, tell me honestly, you and Zhan'er can't get along. , but there are other reasons?”

Fu Zhen said: "It's really nothing else. He found me last night and asked me what my plans were? I thought it was time to have an explanation, so we just said we should follow the rules."

Mrs. Pei said: "Then you have been with him for so long, and you haven't seen the slightest improvement in him?"

Fu Zhen said with a smile: "He's more than half a good person? The benefits are too numerous to count. But now things are a bit complicated. I've thought about it, and that's all I can do now."

"How do you say this?" Mrs. Pei said, "He tried so hard to marry you, how could he be determined to break up? Girl, your attitude must determine everything in this matter. Tell me, Why on earth do you have to separate from him?"

Fu Zhen looked at her: "Don't you blame me for using the Pei family and General Pei to avenge myself?"

"What are you using?" Mrs. Pei straightened her body. "He decided on the marriage himself. We just showed our faces. If you use him again, it will be a fight and a fight. Besides, this is use. Our Pei family has not lost anything, and because of you, the court has a traitorous minister, which is a good thing in the big picture!
"I don't want to dwell on this now. I just know that his father and I finally waited until he got married and had a big event. But before the joy is over, you guys can't live with it anymore!"

Fu Zhen looked down the court, and after a long silence, he turned around and looked at Mrs. Pei face to face: "Now I am telling you the truth, are you willing to listen?"

Mrs. Pei paused: "Yes, why not? You tell me!"

Fu Zhen thought about it for a while and then said: "To tell you the truth, from the beginning I took the initiative to express that he did not want to get married and just wanted to find someone to deal with you and the general urging you to get married. I thought it was a mutually beneficial thing. That’s why I made this agreement with him.”

When Mrs. Pei wanted to speak when she heard this, Fu Zhen hurriedly said: "I know what you want to say. Yes, I really didn't know what he was thinking at the time. I think Mrs. Pei and the general must have been deceived by him, otherwise If so, we wouldn’t be able to agree to such a thing.”

At this point she stopped.

Mrs. Pei approached her: "What then?"

Fu Zhen held the tea cup. After a moment of pause, she put the tea down: "Last night he told me that he wanted to be an upright person. It suddenly occurred to me that this might not be a bad outcome."

Mrs. Pei's heart raised: "How do you say this?!" Fu Zhen said: "Madam is a person who has been here before. If I dare to ask something that offends me, have you ever seen him behave like that when I got married to him? He was the same when he was young. So outrageous?"

Mrs. Pei was stunned. Then she said, "The whole process of asking you to marry him was indeed different from what I and his father had ever seen. He had never done anything so disrespectful before."

"That's it." Fu Zhen stretched himself, "He is an upright man, and he was frivolous and dissolute just because he admired me. Admittedly, I don't think this is so extraordinary, but this kind of talk is Letting others hold him will ultimately damage his reputation. Now that he considers himself 'despicable', he has decided to end it 'honestly'. Isn't that a good thing?"

After all, the reason for this marriage was also calculated.

What does it sound like for General Pingxi, a dignified general, to let people talk behind his back and plan for a girl to marry him?

But if things are done in accordance with the original agreement, his so-called calculations and deceptions will have a reason, and they will become not worth mentioning.

Even if outsiders don't know it, Liang Zhi and Cheng Zhili are still talking about Pei Zhan's original behavior. Even if it is a joke, it is not malicious, but it is still in response.

To put it bluntly, Fu Zhen didn't want Pei Zhan to bear these words after helping her a lot, so ending the relationship like this was the best way.

From now on, even if someone discovers the truth about this marriage, it will completely become Pei Zhan's help to her, and no one will ever laugh at Pei Zhan for this reason, and it is impossible for anyone to laugh at Pei Zhan.

Mrs. Pei didn't speak for a long time.

She and Pei Yu are both informal people. In their opinion, only their children can find a good match, and the rest are nothing.

So Fu Zhen said that this marriage was just a matter of loyalty between Pei Zhan and she didn't think it was a big deal.

But when it comes to Pei Zhan's reputation, she as a mother cannot ignore it.

After all, if a person doesn't care about his character or reputation, how can he be considered a good person?

After looking at Fu Zhen for a while, she said, "But if you can stay, no matter how many stains he bears, I believe he will be willing to do so."

"How can I be so virtuous, Madam?" Fu Zhen smiled, "A well-matched marriage should not be unbalanced. If one party pays too much and sacrifices too much, it will not last long."

"Then you can respond to him. Tell me where he is not good enough and I will let him change it!"

Fu Zhen laughed again when he heard this: "How could he be bad? Your son is a great hero!"

Mrs. Pei was anxious: "Since it's okay, then don't leave!"

"Madam!" Fu Zhen sighed, and then looked deeply, "Do you think I'm stupid? Such a good man actually likes me and has a soft spot for me, and I am indifferent? Am I? What kind of god, no one is worthy of me? The key is that this matter is now tied, and this knot must be untied slowly!"

That's all in the past, she really didn't take Pei Zhan to heart.

But the human heart grows from flesh, and changes occur in every moment of getting along day and night. When it comes to facing each other, how can she still remain calm?
As Pei Zhan said, she knows what it feels like to be moved by someone's heart.

When he made a decision so neatly last night, she suddenly saw his responsibility. This was a man she admired from the bottom of her heart. And this man, no matter whether he put all the effort into marrying him or chose to let go now, he would never be married again. It's because I care about her.

The child in my heart who was reluctant to give up for a bunch of candied haws has disappeared. Now under the name "Pei Zhan", he is a mature and charming soul.

Maybe she wasn't sure yet that she had quietly fallen in love with him during their long relationship, but she could never erase the throbbing moment last night, as well as the tacit understanding and joy of being with him in the past few months. go.

These alone were enough reasons for her to face up to this relationship.

But there are still hidden dangers if this marriage continues like this. No matter how happy they are in the future, there will still be people who remember how dishonest Pei Zhan was in marrying her.

Pei Zhan, who is as proud as last night, is not a man who is accustomed to calculations. So who can guarantee that this matter will not become a thorn in his heart as time goes by?
If two people want to be together, they shouldn't have these grudges.

Mrs. Pei was convinced. She asked: "Then how do you want to solve it?"

Fu Zhen looked outside the fence: "Let's separate first."

Mrs. Pei sighed: "But he just urged us to go back to your mother to discuss the matter of reconciliation. This attitude must be settled immediately. With such a fuss, shouldn't it immediately cause a storm in the city? This will not be good for your future. ”

Fu Zhen said: "I thought about it before I came here. All I need to do is get a seal from the Shangguan Mansion. With the general and his wife, it shouldn't be difficult to suppress this matter so that no one knows about it."

"As for my dowry, I'm not in a hurry to use it. I can't worry about leaving it in Pei's house for the time being. It might as well be dealt with in the future when the time is right.

"If I move back to my parents' home and make up a reason to recuperate, no one will be suspicious."

Mrs. Pei thought for a moment and nodded: "Zhan'er arranged this marriage in a ridiculous way. Since you have thought about it, it is appropriate to deal with it this way.

"We will handle the He Li Shu, and it will be in your hands within three days.

"But what happens next?"

She had just admitted that she was not untouched by Pei Zhan, so she wouldn't really be so willing to let him go, and would she and Pei Zhan be on the same page from now on?
After this knot is opened, there must be a follow-up!

Whoever is a mother would wish that her son would have a bad outcome!
Fu Zhen put down his tea cup when he heard this: "Next, he and I are both free, and he will no longer have anything to plot against me."

Mrs. Pei tensed up: "What happens next?"

"After that," Fu Zhen folded his hands on the table and rested his chin on them, with a gentle light in his beautiful big eyes, "I'm going to turn my back and get to know General Pei again."
