Fu Zhao was confused and surprised, "Why can't I understand what the third sister said? When did I meet my cousin in private?"
"Don't lie! I saw it all with my own eyes, not just me, but my maid also saw it!" Fu Qingxin said aggressively.
As long as Fu Zhao admits to meeting Gao Zicen in private, then the fact that she made Mr. Cong so angry is nothing.
Fu Zhao bit his lip and said helplessly and sadly: "I don't know where I offended my sister. My sister wants to say these things to slander me? I really didn't go to see my cousin. Does my sister have any evidence?"
Hearing this, Fu Qingxin became angry, "If my sister-in-law hadn't fainted, I would have definitely gotten the evidence!"
"Oh? So how did the sister-in-law faint?" Fu Zhao's eyes were dark, staring at Fu Qingxin's face.
Unexpectedly, after going around and around, the reason why Cong fainted was mentioned again.
Fu Qingxin was very impatient and said indiscriminately, "You still have the nerve to ask, it's because you and your cousin had a secret affair that my sister-in-law fainted from your anger!"
Mr. Fu couldn't stand listening anymore and slammed the table, attracting everyone's attention.
Mr. Fu looked at Fu Qingxin with a critical look. In his mind, Fu Qingxin had always been well-controlled and courteous. This was the first time he saw Fu Qingxin's sarcastic look.
He didn't seem to recognize Fu Qingxin anymore, and a trace of disappointment flashed across his face.
Fu Qingxin's heart thumped. If she lost Mr. Fu's unconditional preference, she would have to have scruples in the Fu family in the future.
Fu Qingxin hurriedly explained: "Dad, I didn't lie. If you don't believe me, ask the second sister where she was just now and where she came from! The second sister must not dare to tell because she has something evil in her heart!"
Mr. Fu's eyes widened angrily, "Let me tell you, where was your second sister just now! She was with me and your aunt just now!"
"I don't believe it, dad. Is it because your second sister married into the Marquis's mansion that you can't tell right from wrong and you want to speak for your second sister?"
Aunt Kang saw that Mr. Fu became even more angry after hearing Fu Qingxin's words. She hurriedly pulled Fu Qingxin to her side, "Qingxin, your father did not lie. Your second sister has indeed been talking to us all the time."
"Really?" Fu Qingxin still didn't believe it.
"Really!" Aunt Kang nodded seriously, "How could I lie to you."
Fu Qingxin's mind was spinning rapidly. Fu Zhao had been staying with Mr. Fu and Aunt Kang and hadn't gone to see Gao Zicen?
That's not right, the person she called after seeing it with her own eyes also had someone keep guard at Gao Zicen's place.
What went wrong?
Fu Zhao picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes. Her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she said softly: "Third sister, you can finally believe me now. I did something like this as soon as I came back."
There are too many things to do, I'd better leave first when my sister-in-law wakes up."
As he spoke, Fu Zhao's tone was choked with sobs.
"You...stop pretending!" Fu Qingxin stamped her feet angrily.
"Have you had enough trouble?" Master Fu shouted.
Drunk again, Mr. Fu walked up to Fu Qingxin, raised his hand and slapped Fu Qingxin.
A crisp sound instantly silenced the room.
Fu Qingxin looked at Mr. Fu in disbelief, the pain in her heart was worse than the pain on her face.
Tears burst out of her eyes. She was so aggrieved that she rushed out with her head lowered.
Aunt Kang shouted anxiously, Qingxin. She looked at Mr. Fu, but still didn't chase him out.
Seeing that Mr. Fu was very angry, she hurriedly walked over to comfort him, "Master, don't be angry. Qingxin is young and she will definitely understand your painstaking efforts."
Aunt Kang helped Mr. Fu sit down. Fu Zhao personally brought the tea and said guiltily: "Father, please drink tea. It's all my fault. Don't be angry."
Mr. Fu was so angry that his chest was heaving violently. It took him a long time to take Fu Zhao's tea and drink several sips.
After a pause, Mr. Fu said: "I don't blame you, you are a sensible child."
Looking at the slim Fu Zhao standing in front of him, Mr. Fu was still satisfied.
It is precisely because of Fu Zhao that he can have the good life he has now.
Now, his superiors are always polite when they see him.
Fu Zhao said to Fu Wan: "Sister Wan, go check on Qingxin and don't let anything happen."
Then he said to Fu Shaonian: "Brother, go and see how my sister-in-law is doing."
The two people went out, and only Fu Zhao, Master Fu and Aunt Kang were left in the room.
Fu Zhao then said: "Father, aunt, I see clearly that my temper needs to be suppressed. If you continue to be like this after getting married, you will definitely suffer."
Both of them agreed.
Fu Zhao continued: "But Qingxin will get married soon, and her temper may not be able to be suppressed. Therefore, we must be more careful when choosing a family."
Fu Zhao's voice was clear and pleasant. Master Fu and Aunt Kang followed Fu Zhao's train of thought and both nodded solemnly.
Aunt Kang no longer had any worries. Fu Qingxin's marriage must be decided by Fu Zhao.
The Dingbei Hou Mansion has a wide network of contacts and knows many people, so they will definitely be able to choose a suitable marriage for Fu Qingxin.
Aunt Kang held Fu Zhao's hand with both hands, "Qingxin is not sensible. Don't take what she said to heart, Miss Second. Qingxin still has Miss Second as her sister in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't go out of her way to cook for Miss Second."
I have no ability, so I can only leave all the marriage affairs of Qingxin to the second lady."
The smile on Fu Zhao's lips grew deeper, "Don't worry, aunt, Qingxin and I grew up together, and I won't argue with her. I will definitely choose a lover for Qingxin."
Aunt Kang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "I'll leave everything to the second lady."
Seeing that Fu Zhao was so considerate, Mr. Fu's anger dissipated a lot.
He stroked his beard and said happily: "Among my children, Zhaozhao is still the most sensible and promising! Daddy is proud to have you!"
Fu Zhao smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "Father was so complimentary, I just did what a daughter of the Fu family should do."
No one could hear the indifference and alienation in her tone.
Mr. Fu was coaxed into submission by Fu Zhao, and he said a lot of heartfelt words before allowing Aunt Kang to help him go back.
Fu Zhao sat there and waited for a while. Fu Shaonian came over in person and told her that Mr. Cong was awake.
Fu Zhao happily went to the room next door.
Mrs. Cong could already sit up. She was holding a bowl of soup and drinking it slowly.
Fu Zhao quickly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Sister-in-law, you just woke up, how can you drink medicine by yourself? Why don't I feed you."
Of course Cong disagreed.
In the past, when Fu Zhao was still in the boudoir, Mrs. Cong never asked Fu Zhao to serve her.
Now that Fu Zhao is married to someone with a different status, he disagrees even more.
