Exchange Fate! She Saved the whole family and the Short-Lived Marquis! Chapter 112: I’d Like to Steal Her for a Lifetime

Just thinking about how Xiao Chengyu actually thought I liked him made Fu Shinian’s whole body heat up.

Do I really co across as so easily misunderstood?

Fu Shinian let out a couple of humphs and simply wrapped her head in the quilt.

This Marquis’s residence is no longer a place to stay, otherwise, how awkward it would be.

So the next day, Fu Shinian packed up and, taking Chunmian and Chunyu, went to bid farewell to the old lady.

"Why do you want to leave?" the old lady asked urgently, "Is it that you’re not happy staying in the Marquis’s residence? Were the servants neglectful?"

"No, no." Fu Shinian quickly said, "It’s just that I’ve been at the Marquis’s residence for five days already, the Spring Festival is almost past, and I should be heading ho. Staying at the Marquis’s residence all the ti is a bit inappropriate."

"What’s inappropriate about it?" the old lady said, "Who said anything bad?"

"Of course, no one said anything." As for whether people outside would talk, Fu Shinian thought, they definitely would.

"Old lady, I miss ho too." Fu Shinian said softly, "I haven’t seen my family for many days, and I haven’t seen my eldest sister. I really miss them."

"Indeed." The old lady sighed. Fu Shinian has her own ho after all, and it’s not good to keep her here all the ti.

"So, have you been comfortable staying at the Marquis’s residence? No one was inattentive to you, right?" the old lady asked.

"Of course not." Fu Shinian said, "You’ve cared for every day, old lady, who would dare to neglect ? While staying here, everyone was very careful in their service, which actually made a bit embarrassed."

"As long as you were happy staying here, you can co and stay at the Marquis’s residence anyti in the future when there’s nothing else to do." The old lady laughed and quickly had soone bring over the gifts.

Each was packed in exquisite boxes, quite a number of them.

The old lady had prepared these long ago, planning to let Fu Shinian take them back to her ho when she left.

Fu Shinian didn’t expect the old lady to prepare so many gifts.

The old lady laughed and said, "Having taken your parents’ daughter for five days, this is not much."

In her heart, the old lady wished she could take her for a lifeti.

The old lady asked Nanny Wang, "Where’s the Marquis? Have him escort Shinian back ho."

"No need, no need." How could Fu Shinian dare to see Xiao Chengyu now? She was still embarrassed.

"The Marquis is busy with official duties, no need to trouble him." Fu Shinian hurriedly said.

But Nanny Wang had already gone to find Xiao Chengyu.

After a while, she returned saying, "The Marquis went to the palace early in the morning."

Only then did the old lady give up, arranging for a carriage, "Make sure to send the gifts onto the carriage with great fanfare."

Not to show off the Marquis’s residence, but to show people how much the Marquis’s residence valued Fu Shinian, to prevent people from gossiping about her.

People thought Fu Shinian’s good relations with the Marquis’s residence seed to hinder others, truly idle talk.

So, under the old lady’s instructions, many indeed saw the gifts from the Marquis’s residence filling a carriage, going with Fu Shinian back ho.

Everyone really couldn’t understand how Fu Shinian managed to gain the old lady’s favor.

Xiao Chengyu indeed had urgent matters at the palace today, or he wouldn’t have been busy until so late last night.

At noon, Emperor Jiawen even kept him for a al.

When Xiao Chengyu returned ho, he asked Shaoyao, "How was Miss Fu today? What did she do?"

He was worried that after their conversation last night, Fu Shinian might be dispirited today.

Shaoyao said with difficulty, "Miss Fu went back to the Fu Mansion early this morning."

Xiao Chengyu was stunned, "Already went back?"

"Yes." Shaoyao nodded, "The old lady originally wanted you to escort her back, but since you had gone to the palace, she prepared gifts and let soone escort her back."

Xiao Chengyu was silent for a while, then asked, "How was Miss Fu’s mood today? Did she seem fine?"

"This servant didn’t notice anything unusual about Miss Fu, she was still her usual cheerful self." Shaoyao said, "Her eyes weren’t red either."

Which ant she didn’t go ho and cry secretly out of sadness last night.

"Her eyelids weren’t swollen, she looked the sa as usual." Shaoyao said.

Thankfully, Fu Shinian wasn’t upset.

Shaoyao internally didn’t agree with Xiao Chengyu’s approach.

If you like her, why not give it a try?

No one knows what the future holds, or how his health will turn out.

At the very least, he shouldn’t let himself have regrets now.

"That’s good." Xiao Chengyu said in a low voice, "What gifts did mother prepare?"

Shaoyao listed them one by one for Xiao Chengyu.

The gifts were indeed generous, which put Xiao Chengyu at ease.

When Fu Shinian returned ho, Madam Fu said, "I figured you’d be back soon, you’ve been staying at the Marquis’s residence a bit too long."

"Madam just said, if you didn’t return today, she’d go to the Marquis’s residence for you tomorrow." Aunt Cheng said with a smile.

"How could I lack decorum like that?" Fu Shinian said, "I felt it was ti to co back too."

"It’s good that you’re back; there’s another joyous occasion at ho, we were planning to celebrate tomorrow, but since you returned today, we can celebrate today." Madam Fu brought it up with an uncontrollable joy on her face.

"What’s the joyous occasion?"

"Do you rember last year’s hunting season, when Marquis Changping said your father might get a promotion and there would be changes to the office of the Jingzhao Yin?" Madam Fu said happily, "Marquis Changping truly is close to the emperor, it’s exactly as he said!"

"The order ca down yesterday." Madam Fu said, "But your father wants to keep it low-key, so we’ll just celebrate within the family. You’ve recently been favored by both the emperor and the empress, and your father’s promotion attracts attention, so I feel the more high-profile we are now, the more we should keep a low profile to avoid drawing attention."

Fu Shinian nodded.

"Originally, your father thought, if you didn’t return today, we’d send a note to the Marquis’s residence tomorrow saying we miss you and want you to co back and celebrate." Madam Fu said, "But it’s perfect that you returned today, celebrating today is just right."

"Where’s father?" Fu Shinian asked.

"He’s gone to the palace to see the emperor, but he should be back by now." Madam Fu said.

Just as they say, speak of the devil.

No sooner had Madam Fu finished her sentence than Mr. Fu returned.

Upon seeing Fu Shinian, Mr. Fu bead with joy, "Oh, my dear daughter, I missed you so much."

"I missed you too, father." Fu Shinian said, "The old lady didn’t want to co back so soon, but I said I missed you all."

"Why did the emperor summon you?" Madam Fu hurriedly asked.

"He talked about his expectations for , and Mr. Chang whispered to that the Marquis praised in front of the emperor." Mr. Fu praised, "It’s thanks to Shinian’s good relationship with the Marquis that he often recomnds ."

"Should we find a chance to thank the Marquis?" Madam Fu said.

"A formal thanks would seem contrived; since Shinian and the Marquis get along well, and our family and the Marquis’s residence are becoming closer, we’ll naturally find opportunities to express our gratitude in our interactions." Mr. Fu said, "Otherwise, if we have to thank him formally, it might seem distant and disheartening."

"You’re right." Madam Fu nodded.
