After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 456 - 324: The Silly Son

Chapter 456: Chapter 324: The Silly Son
During the time when the court was abuzz with discussions about the conspiracy case involving the Crown Prince and Xu Yin, the palace and the court were bustling for several days.
Just as the Liang Brothers had little time to stay at home, Pei Zhan also left early and returned late. Fu Zhen relied on the guards to gather information about the progress of the case.
The truth of the Crown Prince’s case has been revealed, and since he is already dead, there’s no need for further trials. The interrogation of the involved brothers from the Li Family, members of the Chamberlain’s Office, and the palace attendants from the Eastern Palace was merely to complete the details.
Xu Yin was also edly interrogated several times. He confessed to the murder of Liang Ning and Princess Rong and provided evidence regarding Prince Rong and his son’s efforts to cover up the case, such as the extermination of several people while searching for the dagger.
The focus now lies on Prince Rong and the Zhang Family.
Fu Zhen got up an hour earlier specifically to catch Pei Zhan practicing martial arts in the courtyard and drag him to the Dali Temple to interrogate Prince Rong and his son, asking them to clarify if Mr. Ning’s death was related to them.
Pei Zhan planted his retrieved spear in front of her: "Such a small matter, is it necessary to get up early to tell me? Couldn’t you just ask Guo Song to say a word?"
Hearing this, Fu Zhen jumped onto the railing of the corridor and sat down: "When you ask someone to do something, you have to ask them properly. You’re a distinguished General Pei and a favorite of the emperor, how can I order you around like this?"
Pei Zhan smiled, raised his spear again, and performed a few moves, saying, "It’s only been a few days, and you’re already so distant?"
Fu Zhen raised her eyebrows and rested her chin on her hand, gazing at his mighty and upright figure.
Pei Zhan practiced for a while more thoughtfully, then suddenly stopped and looked back at her before returning to her and saying, "I heard you’re going to change your surname to the Ning Family?"
"That’s right, on the first day of next month, I’ll go to the ancestral hall to kneel and worship the ancestors of the Ning Family and officially change my surname," Fu Zhen nodded, "Did mother tell you?"
Pei Zhan said: "But from what I see, Shaoyang and the others seem to want to take you back to recognize your ancestry. As far as I know, your two sisters-in-law have already returned overnight, and they probably know about your existence by now. Are you willing not to go back?"
Even if she is willing, the two ladies of the Liang Family probably wouldn’t be.
Back then, returning as Liang Ning was fraught with concerns, but now those concerns no longer exist. If the Liang Family can outwardly concoct a suitable explanation to make Fu Zhen into Liang Ning, it wouldn’t be too difficult.
After all, besides these few close people, no one else can prove her authenticity.
"Indeed, I am reluctant," Liang Ning lowered her hand from her chin and gazed wistfully at the two rose bushes in front of her, "But one cannot solely think of oneself. If I return to the Liang Family, what about my mother?"
"Without her careful care of her daughter for so many years, I wouldn’t even have had the chance to return. She has the grace of nurturing and raising me."
She is indeed reluctant to part with the Liang Family, as it was where she lived from childhood, with all the kin from her previous life still caring for her.
However, she has also received love from Mrs. Ning and Ning Jia, and emotionally, this love is equally hard for her to relinquish. Logically, having completed her revenge with the help of Mrs. Ning’s care, it was time to repay the kindness, and she couldn’t just leave.
She made this decision after careful consideration.
Turning to Pei Zhan again, she playfully said, "If General Pei is concerned about me, how about helping me point out my merits to the emperor?"
"Having captured Xu Yin, surely my name will be among those rewarded?"
With that smile, it was as if the morning sun pierced through the fog, brightening the entire garden.
After capturing Xu Yin, she no longer needed to constantly scheme as she did before; her mind completely relaxed. Guo Song and the others said that recently she spends her days with Mrs. Pei, tending flowers, cooking, and enjoying leisure time. Soon, it seems she might roam the streets, toying with cats and dogs, as she did in her past life.
Such a free-spirited and brash woman, how could she not move someone who rarely had such moments of joy since childhood?
Pei Zhan, stirred by her teasing, muttered, "Who cares about you?"
Then he glanced at her, "With such great credits, how could they overlook you?"
"The emperor and empress have already inquired about you several times, saying that when they decree and announce rewards in the court, you must be summoned to receive it personally."
"That’s good!"
Fu Zhen smiled gently, "I must enter the palace this time."
