Shuang shuang finally choked back her tears and said, "Apart from my mother, my father likes another girl."
Fu Zhen and Du Min were both stunned.
Du Min looked at Fu Zhen and drew a sharp breath, "Didn’t Second Brother just send Guard Guo to Huzhou yesterday to bring back Doctor Lu, to nurse Second Sister-in-law back to health and maybe have another baby?
"Also, the martial arts examination is about to start soon. My elder brother said he’s been so busy with Second Brother that they barely have ti to eat, let alone find another girl?"
How Pei Zhan and Fu Zhen’s married life was, and their affection for each other, wasn’t it well known throughout the capital city?
It’s impossible for Pei Zhan to fall for soone else.
Yet, the fact that such a misunderstanding could arise is certainly peculiar.
Curiously, Fu Zhen looked at her daughter, who was crying bitterly, "How did you find out? Did your father tell you?"
Shuang shuang nodded vigorously, "Dad said so. Brother Xuan said so too."
"Brother Xuan?!"
Fu Zhen’s tone imdiately rose.
It’s already absurd for Pei Zhan to say such nonsense to his daughter, and dragging Liang Xuan into it makes it even more ridiculous!
Pei Xuan was already over twelve years old. Over the years, his Fifth Uncle had trained him so intensely in martial arts that he also had countless mischievous ideas!
The crucial part is that he even had his father Liang Chen backing him up, who was also corrupted by the not-so-serious Fifth Uncle Pei Zhan. Now he truly lived up to his notorious reputation in the capital city!
Even compared to the wild antics of Liang Ning and Liang Zhi in the past, they had nothing on him!
Su Xinger had already completely given up by now.
Only Fu Zhen and Pei Zhan could handle him.
Last month, after causing trouble, Su Xinger, exasperated, sent him to the Pei family for the couple’s education.
But Fu Zhen didn’t expect that this kid would aim at his Fifth Uncle this ti!
Recalling the recent days, when Pei Zhan started training day and night his martial arts and military tactics to ensure his stellar performance in the exam, Fu Zhen sowhat understood.
This kid was getting back at his Fifth Uncle!
Knowing all too well that Shuang shuang was young and easily swayed, he incited her to complain, clearly intending mischievously to have Fu Zhen take it out on Pei Zhan!
Thinking this, Fu Zhen pulled her daughter over, "What did Daddy say to you? Tell Mommy exactly."
Still in the latter half of her crying fit, although without tears, Shuang shuang, still breathless with hiccups, said, "Daddy taught to write nas, and he kept calling out repeatedly ’Ah Ning, Ah Ning,’ so I asked him why he kept calling ?
"Daddy said, the girl he liked back then was also called ’Ning.’
Fu Zhen suddenly realized and laughed.
Du Min, however, didn’t understand, "Why didn’t I know about this? Who is this Miss Ning?"
Fu Zhen laughed, looking at her, "My maiden na is Ning too. It’s nothing new."
Du Min clapped her hands and said "Oh" in realization, "So that’s how it is!"
Fu Zhen lifted the bewildered Shuang shuang onto her lap, "The person in Dad’s heart has always been Mom; Shuang shuang misunderstood."
Shuang shuang, now realizing, with her tears not yet dried, pouted angrily, "This Daddy, it was clearly Mom, yet he insisted it was another girl!"
Fu Zhen gently stroked her hair, "Now tell Mommy, what exactly did Brother Xuan say to you just now?"
So Shuang shuang, like a bamboo tube pouring beans, poured everything out truthfully.
Fu Zhen nodded as she listened, becoming more and more amused as she did.
Then she let Shuang shuang down, gently nudging her towards her second aunt, "Stay here with your aunt for a while; Mommy will be right back."
After saying that, she stood up, walked under the pogranate tree, and broke off a three-finger-long twig before heading toward the courtyard wall.
Liang Xuan lay outside the doorfra, craning his neck to peep at the lush greenery inside.
The little girl Shuang shuang had already gone in for a long ti. Based on his understanding of his Fifth Aunt, there should’ve been enough ti for her to co out and confront Fifth Uncle by now. Why was there still no movent?
He strained his ears to listen, unwilling to give up, then stepped over the threshold to take a closer look.
No sooner had his front foot crossed the door than a hand clasped onto his collar behind him.
Imdiately after, soone also grabbed one of his ears!
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!..."
As he cried out in pain and turned around, he saw standing before him the Fu Zhen he had been eagerly waiting for.
Now the latter squinted her eyes at him, with a freshly snapped whip tucked under her arm!
Liang Xuan mumbled, "Fifth Aunt, where did you co from? I didn’t even see you co out!"
What the heck, had she beco a celestial being or sothing!
"I, your aunt, am a previous martial arts scholar and a new-generation female General of Great Zhou; do I need to walk through the main door to get out?"
Fu Zhen glanced up at the top of the wall, the implication clear.
Liang Xuan resignedly lowered his head, completely out of ideas.
This troubled demon had fallen into the hands of the devil queen, and besides accepting fate, what else could he say?
