After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 544 - 356 My Yulang

Chapter 544: Chapter 356 My Yulang
In response to Xie Yu’s question, Xie Zhang stammered, unable to speak, his old face turning as red as a beet.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I hold Mrs. Ning in the highest respect, how could I harbor such improper thoughts about her?"
"This can’t be considered improper thoughts. My mentor lives alone, and my mother passed away many years ago. Discussing marriage is reasonable and legal. You’re not a stubborn person; why are you being so obstinate?"
Xie Zhang became even more serious: "The reason I associate with Mrs. Ning is because she is your respected teacher. ’Once a teacher, forever a mother.’ Naturally, I cannot distance myself from her.
"She is already giving our Xie family face by taking the time and effort to nurture you. How can you make such reckless connections, isn’t it disrespectful to her?"
Xie Yu glanced at him: "My mentor is nothing like you."
With that, she clasped her hands together: "Enough, since you have no such intentions, let’s pretend I never mentioned it.
"In any case, many people admire my mentor. I noticed that the gentleman staying at Wanbin Building is very elegant and charming, and my mentor instructed Manager Su to take good care of him repeatedly, so she must be quite satisfied with him."
Having said that, she turned around and stepped up the mansion’s stairs.
"Stop!"
After hearing all this, Xie Zhang paused and then took a step forward: "What do you mean when you say someone is staying at Wanbin Building? Isn’t it Manager Feng from Huzhou?"
"It’s not Manager Feng. How could I not recognize Manager Feng?" Xie Yu turned under the corridor, "It’s a newcomer. I just met him this morning. He’s tall and strong, with very handsome features.
"Although he’s dressed in simple clothes with rough skin, he’s very courteous and polite. He seems to be about the same age as my mentor, but he calls her ’big sister,’ indicating a very close relationship!"
Xie Zhang frowned: "Is this true?"
"Of course it is!" Xie Yu’s voice heightened, "Didn’t you hear Manager Su mention the gentleman in the eastern courtyard while we were having tea earlier? That’s him!
"Father," Xie Yu walked down the stairs to him, "If you have no such intentions in your heart, why bother caring about these things? When my mentor shares joyous news in the future, we can just remember to give a generous gift!"
With that, she flitted towards the inner courtyard like a butterfly, leaving Xie Zhang standing still in place.
...
When Pei Zhan returned from the Dali Temple, Fu Zhen was already competing in archery with Liang Xuan in the rear garden.
Both were unyielding along the hundred-meter archery path.
Pei Zhan walked over, picked up a large bow, and shot three arrows at full draw, each hitting the bullseye, and even splitting one of Liang Xuan’s hard-earned bullseye arrows.
Liang Xuan was indignant and began to playfully accuse: "You two are ganging up on me! Uncle Five, just wait. When you have a son, I’ll bully him just like this!"
Pei Zhan turned to see Fu Zhen smiling without a hint of offense, and couldn’t help but grin as well. He grabbed Liang Xuan’s arms and taught him to draw the bow: "You brat, already plotting against my son! You rascal!"
Fu Zhen sat on the steps behind them, resting her chin in her hands as she watched them, the corners of her lips gradually curling up.
"Young Madam, what are you laughing at?"
Guo Song brought a few cups of tea over.
Fu Zhen lowered her hands, stretched a bit, and said: "Watching your General, who can fight battles and also take care of children."
Guo Song looked over, then handed her a cup of tea: "That’s because Young Madam has the foresight to recognize our General’s merits."
Fu Zhen glanced at him: "With such a slick tongue, how do you manage to work under his dull and taciturn personality?"
Guo Song chuckled: "I was specifically assigned to the General by the Master back then. The Master found the General too quiet and believed he needed people like us who talk a lot with him."
"That’s true," Fu Zhen spun the cup in her hands, looking at the father and son seriously practicing archery, "If your General had your gift of gab, that would be great."
Guo Song grew serious: "As long as Young Madam gives the General a chance, he will transform and make you see him in a new light! It’d be like an old house catching fire, unstoppable!"
Fu Zhen gave him a sidelong glance, sipped her tea, and asked casually: "Why are you bringing tea? Where are Ziyan and Bixi?"
"Bixi was indeed the one who brought tea earlier. It’s just that I happened to be coming back from Wanbin Building with news, so I brought it along on the way."
"Didn’t I instruct you to protect Mr. Yang at Wanbin Building? Why are you back?" Fu Zhen recalled.
"Mr. Yang plans to go out at night, so I came back to ask the General for instructions. Should we send people to accompany him, and how many?"
