Chapter 469: Chapter 328: I Want to Turn the Tables (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3
Therefore, Fu Zhen said this marriage was just Pei Zhan helping out of loyalty, and she didn’t think it was a big deal.
But since it concerned Pei Zhan’s reputation, as a mother, she couldn’t ignore it.
After all, if a person doesn’t care about both conduct and reputation, can he be considered a good person?
After looking at Fu Zhen for a while, she said, "But if you could stay, even if he bore more stains, I believe he would be willing."
"What virtues and abilities do I have, madam?" Fu Zhen smiled, "A matched marriage shouldn’t be unbalanced. If one side gives too much and sacrifices too much, it won’t last long."
"Then you can reciprocate him! Tell me where he isn’t good enough, and I’ll have him change!"
Fu Zhen laughed again upon hearing this: "How could he not be good? Your son is a top-notch hero!"
Mrs. Pei became anxious: "Since he’s good, then don’t leave!"
"Madam!" Fu Zhen sighed deeply and looked over intently, "Do you think I’m a fool? That such a good man is delighted with me and devoted solely to me, would I really be indifferent? Am I some fairy who no one is worthy of? The key issue now is this knot; it needs to be gradually untied!"
In the past it was fine; she indeed never had placed Pei Zhan in her heart.
But a human heart is made of flesh, and changes in the tiniest moments of day-to-day interactions. When faced with each other, how could she remain unruffled?
As Pei Zhan said, she knew what it felt like to be moved by someone.
Last night, when he made his decision so decisively, she suddenly saw his responsibility, the kind of man she admired from the bottom of her heart, and this man, whether he painstakingly wooed her at first or chose to let go now, was all because he cared for her.
The child in her mind, who once insisted stubbornly for a string of candied fruits, was gone. Now, under the name "Pei Zhan," he has become a mature and charming soul.
Perhaps she couldn’t yet be sure that over the long interactions, she had quietly developed feelings for him, but that moment of heart flutter last night, and the tacit understanding and joy with him over these months, she couldn’t erase no matter what.
Just based on these, it was enough reason for her to face this relationship honestly.
But continuing the marriage like this still posed hidden dangers. Even if their future ended well, people will still remember how Pei Zhan’s means of marrying her were far from honorable.
Just like Pei Zhan’s proud demeanor last night, he was never one to scheme, so who could guarantee that as time passes, this wouldn’t become a thorn in his heart?
Two people, to be together, shouldn’t have such barriers.
Mrs. Pei was convinced. She asked, "Then how do you intend to untie it?"
Fu Zhen looked outside the railing: "Let’s separate first."
Mrs. Pei sighed: "But he just urged us to turn around and seek your mother about the divorce paper, wanting to settle it immediately. Wouldn’t such a tumultuous affair instantly become the talk of the town? It’s not good for your future together."
Fu Zhen said, "Before coming here I thought about it. This divorce paper just needs a seal from the Shangguan Mansion. With the Great General and you, keeping this subdued from the public shouldn’t be difficult.
"As for my dowry, I’m not in a hurry to use it, so leaving it at the Pei Mansion is of no concern. When the time is right, we can decide what to do with it later.
"Thus, if I move back to my parents’ home, we can fabricate a reason for the public, like recuperating from illness, and there shouldn’t be suspicion raised."
Mrs. Pei thought deeply for a moment and nodded her head: "This marriage was indeed rashly handled by Zhan Er. Since you both have thought it through, this arrangement seems reasonable.
"We will handle the divorce papers, and you should have it in your hands within three days.
"But what then?"
She admitted just now that she wasn’t completely untouched by Pei Zhan, so she wouldn’t really just give up, from then on having nothing to do with Pei Zhan, would she?
Once this knot is untied, there must be a follow-up!
What mother wouldn’t hope for a good future for her son!
Fu Zhen set her teacup down upon hearing this: "Next, he and I will both be free, no longer will there be any scheming between us."
Mrs. Pei straightened up: "And then?"
"And then," Fu Zhen placed her hands on the table, resting her chin atop them, her beautiful big eyes filled with gentle light, "I will turn the tables and get to know General Pei all over again."
