That night, when she saw Pei Zhan drunk in the tofu shop after waiting in vain for her, Fu Zhen wondered if this kid had any feelings for her.
After all, she was no longer the sa as before. With such a captivating face, she almost entranced Liang Zhi at one point. Pei Zhan, being a young man full of vigor, might be montarily swayed by her looks—it wasn’t unusual.
But she knew well that relying on looks wouldn’t last. One day, all these young n who fancy her face would awaken from their fleeting infatuation, realizing how superficial they had been.
Besides, Pei Zhan hadn’t shown interest in anyone for so many years, nor were there any rumors. As a child, he was dull and introverted; as an adult, he was rigid and uninteresting. Fu Zhen was convinced that he hadn’t married all these years because his heart was set on soone. Soone who harbored deep feelings for years wouldn’t easily be swayed by her appearance.
So she felt at ease proposing marriage to him, and they proceeded as they were.
Yet, these days, she noticed sothing seed unusual about him, as if his actions were not that of a re friendly helper. She wondered if her identity as Liang Ning had been exposed.
Though "exposed" might not be the right word.
Because from the start, when he mistook her for a villain, she hinted to him many tis.
He just wouldn’t believe it!
After she confessed and reunited with the Liang Family, whether he believed it or not didn’t matter. To avoid complications, everyone consciously hid the truth.
Even if he knew, it wasn’t a big deal.
So last night, Fu Zhen planned to bring the matter up, but he kept avoiding the topic!
He even avoided it to the point of going to the Liang Family!
There he was, berating Xu Yin fiercely with Liang Chen in Liang Ning’s courtyard—
What did that imply?
It ant he definitely knew who she was and had already communicated with Liang Chen.
The worst part was, he was angry because Liang Ning still had sothing left with Xu Yin, indicating he had intentions toward Liang Ning for a long ti!
In this situation, shouldn’t Fu Zhen quickly distance herself from him?
Her previous grievances were still fresh and unresolved; how could she dare to ss with soone else?
She didn’t have the energy for that!
Besides, she couldn’t bring herself to act against soone she had always considered a nephew.
Rolling back and forth in bed, she couldn’t understand why sleep just wouldn’t co?
She then heard Liang Xuan’s voice outside: "Aunt Five! Aunt Five! Open the door quickly!"
Before the words even fell, she heard a knock on the door.
Fu Zhen was worried about this kid, jumped out of bed like a carp flipping over.
"Why are you shouting in the middle of the night?" When she opened the door, she saw the brat standing under it, panting and looking at her.
Liang Xuan said, "Aunt Five, I feel dizzy!"
After saying this, he fell to the ground, his body laying across her feet!
Fu Zhen was stunned, bent down to pick him up, but he was heavy as a winter lon, how could she lift him?
The maidens, Ziyan and others, ca over when they heard the noise, and at the sa ti, she heard Pei Zhan’s voice from outside: "Don’t move! I’ll co!"
After finishing, he squeezed his way in front, bent down, picked up the tightly shut-eyed Liang Xuan, and carried him straight into the room!
Fu Zhen instructed Ziyan: "Go and get a doctor!"
"No need for a doctor!" Pei Zhan laid Liang Xuan on the bed, "This is an old problem."
"Old problem?" Fu Zhen imdiately approached upon hearing that: "Since when does he have an old problem?"
She had raised this brat to almost a year old, strong and healthy like a bull, how hadn’t she heard about any old problem?
Doubtfully, she leaned in close to look at Liang Xuan, and reached out to pinch his eyelids.
Pei Zhan blocked her: "This problem was discovered suddenly, it only started flaring up in the past two years, before it happened once at our place too, he was scared by a cat, and collapsed just like that. The doctor said it’s nothing, just a seizure, he’ll be fine after a sleep."
"Scared by a cat?" Fu Zhen asked, "Then what scared him just now?"
After a pause, Pei Zhan replied, "Maybe a nightmare. You know how it is, kids, they’re timid."
Fu Zhen stared at the motionless Liang Xuan, after a while, she brought a lamp closer to take a look. The kid’s face was so delicate, making her want to give it a pinch, and his long eyelashes were like fans, fluttering like they were fanning the air.
Fu Zhen straightened up: "So you an, we let him sleep here for tonight?"
"If you don’t mind, that’s the only solution. After all, he’s too heavy, moving him might cause so discomfort."
