Chapter 467: Chapter 328: I Want to Turn the Tables (Seeking Monthly Votes)
Fu Zhen paused slightly and said, "Let’s sit down and talk first."
Pei Yu turned to Mrs. Pei and said, "Did you hear that? She just called me General, not Father!"
Mrs. Pei looked incredulously at Fu Zhen and said, "Girl, could it be that what Zhan Er, that rascal, said is true, that you really want to separate from him?"
Fu Zhen glanced at Pei Zhan, who was sitting steadily on the chair, then supported Mrs. Pei and said, "Please sit down first. It’s not as you both think; we’re not splitting up."
"Not splitting up? If not, why would you abandon him!" Pei Yu was completely shocked.
Fu Zhen couldn’t help but smile reassuringly, "You’re overreacting. It’s not abandonment. It’s because—"
The real reason was difficult to articulate, unable to be spoken.
The couple stared intently at her, "Because of what, do tell!"
"Why are you pressuring her?" Pei Zhan said, "I already told you, I don’t want to be in the relationship anymore. She just happened to agree, so it was a mutual decision!"
"Is marriage a child’s play, that you can come together and separate at will?" Pei Yu shouted, "If you don’t take back your words today and apologize properly, don’t even think about leaving this house!..."
Fu Zhen said, "This marriage, in reality, General Pei is helping me. He is assisting me in seeking revenge."
The Pei couple suddenly fell silent upon hearing this.
Pei Zhan also couldn’t help but sit up straight. Revealing the truth could indeed be an explanation, but such a truth was hardly suitable to be told to them as elders. No matter how understanding the Pei couple might be, it was difficult for them to accept that the person standing before them was Liang Ning, who had been dead for six years!
"Revenge?" Pei Yu said, "For what?"
"The Great General should remember my grandfather, right?" Fu Zhen avoided Pei Zhan’s already tense gaze and said, "Regarding my mother being a witness in the case of the Crown Prince’s murder, the General should already know. To be honest, my grandfather’s death is also inexplicably linked to this case."
Mrs. Ning, as a witness, had already been asked to cooperate with several interrogations by the three departments; this wasn’t a secret. Even if Ning Pochi had once given Mrs. Ning that letter, Pei Yu had already heard from Pei Zhan that since it was the Crown Prince who died in Baiyu Lane, it was undeniable that Ning Pochi had known the Crown Prince.
Pei Zhan stood frozen in place.
And Pei Yu and his wife immediately questioned Fu Zhen’s words: "The old gentleman was said to have died of illness. How was his death related to the murder case?"
"Xu Yin once instructed He Qunying to borrow a boat from the Ning Family, giving us a clue, saying that my grandfather’s illness was due to an accident at Huzhou Pier. A close friend who helped my grandfather during the incident confirmed that this was true. Yesterday, General Pei went to the Heavenly Prison to question Prince Rong and his son, but they denied involvement in this matter."
"Is this true?" Pei Yu, his anger turning to confusion, "Why hadn’t I heard about this before?"
Fu Zhen smiled slightly, "This is a matter concerning the Ning family, how could it trouble the Great General?"
Indeed, the true reason for revenge was not suitable to be spoken; once spoken, it would become immensely complicated.
Pei Yu was about to reprimand her for keeping things at a distance when he recalled the turmoil between the two, then softened his tone, "You’re going all over the place, what does your grandfather’s affair have to do with you two as a couple? Are you saying the Pei family can’t even handle the Ning family’s matters? Are you trying to sever our ties like this?"
"Please pardon me," Fu Zhen bowed first, then said, "The origin of the matter is this: After learning the details of the Baiyu Lane case from my mother, I discovered its connection to Miss Liang of the Liang Family and also to Prince Rong’s Mansion, so I realized the seriousness of the matter. I decided to investigate the case, firstly to exonerate Miss Liang, secondly to bring Prince Rong and his son to justice, and most importantly, because after my mother and father separated, the Ning family was lowly and their words insignificant. If Prince Rong found out there was still a witness to their crime, they would surely retaliate against us.
"I was unwilling to sit idly by and let my family live in fear day and night. This thought was discovered by General Pei, and he volunteered to marry me, becoming my support. So General Pei is righteously helping and blameless, but rather I owe a debt to General Pei and the Pei Mansion."
The Pei couple listened in shock, and after a moment, looked at Pei Zhan: "Is this true?"
Pei Zhan hadn’t expected Fu Zhen to explain things away like this, turned his head, and cleared his throat hesitantly: "Let’s go with what she said."
The Pei couple sat down. After exchanging several glances at the two of them in front of them, they exchanged a look with each other, then stood back up. Pei Yu signaled to Pei Zhan, "You come with me!"
