After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 453 - 323: She is a Female Hero (Requesting Monthly Passes)

Chapter 453: Chapter 323: She is a Female Hero (Requesting Monthly Passes)
The cause of Mr. Ning’s death indeed lacked a clear explanation, but once Fu Zhen mentioned that the deceased was the Crown Prince, Mrs. Ning assumed it was the doing of Prince Rong and his son. She was quite surprised now: "Prince Rong and his son were ordered by the Crown Prince and had been secretly tracking the Crown Prince for months. Logically, the culprit should be them. According to you, is there more to it?"
"Not necessarily. I just feel Lian Rong played a crucial role in the whole incident."
If Yang Zhan had harmed Ning Pochi during his search for the Crown Prince, he wouldn’t have acted so indifferent in front of Fu Zhen and the Ning Family.
Moreover, if Mr. Ning secretly protected the Crown Prince’s journey to the capital, he should have known that the threat was from Prince Rong’s Mansion, and he ought to have made his protective measures more thorough.
However, these were just Fu Zhen’s vague feelings, without any concrete evidence, so there was no need to speak them aloud for now.
Mrs. Ning said, "Prince Rong’s great crimes are already confessed. The sin of killing your grandfather wouldn’t mean much to him now—he wouldn’t need to lie further."
"Exactly, which is why I plan to sort things out in the court first, and then have the Liang Family sent to the prison to confirm. If they confess and reveal that they were behind what happened to my grandfather, then naturally the case can be settled."
If it wasn’t Prince Rong and his son, then it’s even more necessary to thoroughly investigate Lian Rong’s side.
Fu Zhen sincerely wanted to give a clear explanation for the old man’s death. Otherwise, bearing the title of the old man’s granddaughter without doing anything for him left her heart unsettled.
The conversation had reached its natural end, and the mother and daughter both raised their tea.
Mrs. Ning held her cup to her lips but did not drink, looking affectionately at Fu Zhen: "If your grandfather’s spirit knows how much you miss him, who knows how comforted he would be."
This casual remark lightly touched Fu Zhen’s heartstrings.
She set her tea down and shook Mrs. Ning’s hand playfully: "So, can I finally change my surname now?"
Mrs. Ning composed herself: "You still haven’t given up?"
"How could I give up?" Fu Zhen said, "I’m not just saying it casually—I’m earnest about it.
"Jia Ge’er changed his long ago. If I don’t change mine, wouldn’t it seem inappropriate? Even if my grandfather’s spirit knows, he wouldn’t tolerate it."
Mrs. Ning blurted out: "But if you become a Ning Family girl, you’ll truly be the daughter of a merchant."
The statement sounded contradictory, but Fu Zhen didn’t seem to mind. She dismissively said: "So what? No matter what kind of person I become, does it necessarily mean I’ll be inferior to others?!"
She understood Mrs. Ning’s implication.
She had long suspected that Mrs. Ning saw through her origins, but since Mrs. Ning never exposed it, she would never admit it aloud. Because that would be too cruel for a mother.
In the past, it wasn’t mentioned because of the Baiyu Lane case that took precedence and didn’t allow for such distractions. Now that the major grudge had been avenged, she had the time to handle these pending matters one by one.
Mrs. Ning opened her lips several times but failed to speak.
Since Fu Zhen’s personality drastically changed these past few months, Mrs. Ning harbored a feeling of anxiety and loss.
The daughter she raised day and night had changed—others might not notice, but she absolutely could!
The moment the truth was confirmed, she couldn’t accept the loss of the daughter she had cared for over fifteen years!
However, Fu Zhen made a compelling case: no matter how her personality had transformed, this body was still her flesh and blood, born after ten months of pregnancy! How could she reject her, how could she not accept her?
But she knew this daughter shouldn’t end up in their kind of household. She had once defended the borders and fought on the battlefield—she should have a better future, even if she never returns to the battlefield.
She believed that as powerful as the Liang Family was, they surely would have a way to let her return with dignity, just as they convinced Cheng Chili that Fu Zhen was Liang Ning returned in disguise—they could certainly produce an explanation that would convince the world.
As for the surname change, she thought, there was no need to fuss over it.
Unexpectedly, after handling the major affairs today, Fu Zhen brought up the issue again, and with such determination!
"You—you—have you made up your mind?"
"Of course, I’ve long made up my mind."
Mrs. Ning looked at her calm face, her breathing fluctuated a few times before finally raising her hand to pat Fu Zhen’s arm: "You silly girl!..."
What virtues or capabilities did she have to have such good fortune!
That pat on Fu Zhen’s arm seemed to have broken the final barrier between them.
