Chapter 468: Chapter 328: I Want to Turn the Tables (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2
Mrs. Pei also took Fu Zhen’s hand: "Let’s go somewhere else to talk!"
The two of them were thus separately pulled out of the hall!
Fu Zhen followed Mrs. Pei through the passageway to the open pavilion on the east side.
Mrs. Pei dismissed the others, then pulled Fu Zhen to sit down. A woman who had been pampered by her husband all her life, she sincerely patted Fu Zhen’s back: "Girl, be honest with me, is there any other reason you can’t continue with Zhan Er?"
Fu Zhen said: "There’s truly no other reason. He found me last night and asked about my plans. I thought it was time to conclude things, so I told him we’d proceed according to the rules."
Mrs. Pei said: "So after being with him for so long, you haven’t seen a single good thing about him?"
Fu Zhen laughed: "More than a single good thing? There are so many it’s uncountable. But now the situation is a bit complicated. I’ve thought long and hard, and for now, this is how it must be."
"What do you mean by that?" Mrs. Pei said, "Back then, he went through so much trouble to marry you. How could he be determined to separate? Girl, this matter is definitely decided by your attitude. So tell me, why do you insist on parting with him?"
Fu Zhen looked at her: "You don’t blame me for using the Pei family, using General Pei for my revenge?"
"Use what?" Mrs. Pei straightened up, "The marriage was his own decision. We just made an appearance. If you used him, it was mutual consent. Besides, even if it was used, our Pei family didn’t lose anything, and the court got rid of a treacherous official because of you, which is a good thing in a grand sense!
"Now, I don’t want to dwell on this. I only know that his father and I were so thrilled to see him get married, accomplishing such a significant matter. But before the joy has even faded, you two can’t continue!"
Fu Zhen looked out into the courtyard and, after a long silence, turned around to face Mrs. Pei: "Now I’ll tell you the truth. Do you want to hear it?"
Mrs. Pei paused: "Of course, I want to hear it. Why wouldn’t I? Go ahead!"
Fu Zhen gathered herself and said: "To tell you the truth, at the beginning, I agreed when he deliberately expressed that he didn’t want to marry but just wanted to find someone to appease you and the Great General’s urging. I thought this was a mutually beneficial arrangement, so we made this agreement."
Mrs. Pei was about to speak when Fu Zhen quickly continued: "I know what you want to say, and yes, at the time, I really didn’t know his true feelings. I think you and the Great General were also probably deceived by him. Otherwise, we surely wouldn’t have agreed to such a thing."
She stopped speaking at this point.
Mrs. Pei leaned closer to her: "And then?"
Fu Zhen held a teacup, paused for a moment, and then put the tea down: "Last night, he told me he wants to be a straightforward person. I suddenly thought, why not see this as a good outcome?"
Mrs. Pei’s heart tightened: "What do you mean by that?!"
Fu Zhen said: "Madam, you’ve lived through it. May I ask something potentially offensive? When I married him, did you ever see him behave as he did? Was he so outlandish when he was younger?"
Mrs. Pei was stunned. Then she said: "The entire process of him courting you was indeed something his father and I had never seen in him before. Before that, he never did anything so lacking in propriety."
"Exactly." Fu Zhen leaned back, "He is a principled man who merely acted recklessly this time because he had a fondness for me. Although I don’t think it’s a big deal, having such things held against him would ultimately damage his reputation. Now that he considers himself ’despicable’ and decides to end things ’honorably,’ isn’t that a good thing?"
No matter what, the beginning of this marriage did have elements of calculation.
How does it sound for someone as significant as General Pingxi to be discussed behind his back for scheming a girl into marriage?
But if we handle things according to the initial agreement, those so-called schemes and deceptions from the beginning would have a basis and become insignificant.
Even though outsiders won’t know, until now, people like Liang Zhi and Cheng Chili are still bringing up Pei Zhan’s past actions, even jokingly, without ill intent, but it’s irritating.
Frankly speaking, Fu Zhen doesn’t want Pei Zhan to have helped her greatly and then have to endure such talk, so ending this relationship seems the best option.
This way, even if someone later digs up the truth of this marriage, it fundamentally transforms into Pei Zhan having aided her, and no one will use it as a reason to mock him.
Mrs. Pei didn’t speak for a long time.
Both she and Pei Yu are not people who worry over small things; they believe that as long as their children find a suitable match, nothing else matters to them.
