Chapter 116: Stubborn
Chapter 116: Stubborn
Mrs. Fucha looked at Fuheng's pitiful appearance and couldn't bear it. She persuaded him again: "Master, the children have grown up and have their own ideas and plans. They like each other, isn't it much better than the matchmaker's words?"
Fu Cha Li Rongbao was somewhat reluctant after hearing this. He felt that he was being forced by his wife, daughter and son, and he felt very uncomfortable.
He was about to agree to Fu Heng, but after hearing his wife's persuasion, he was unwilling to change his mind immediately, otherwise where would his face be?
So he angrily shook his hands and said, "Humph, you guys teamed up to force me. Am I, Fu Cha Li Rongbao, such a person?"
Seeing her husband so stubborn, Mrs. Fucha couldn't help but get angry.
She placed the ginseng soup heavily on the table, making a "pa" sound, then glared at Fu Cha Li Rongbao angrily and said:
"Oh! I'm giving you face, old man? I'm telling you, if you don't let your son get married, you'll never have grandchildren again!"
After saying that, she pulled Fu Heng out without looking back.
Fu Cha Li Rongbao was left alone, dumbfounded and sighing repeatedly.
After a few days, although there was no news of approval from the Fucha Mansion, Fu Heng brought a letter on behalf of Wei Yingluo.
There was not only a letter from Wei Yingning, but also a letter from Zhou Yi.
Wei Yingluo was very excited after receiving the letter. She couldn't wait to open her sister's letter to see what it said.
“Yingluo, Zhan Xinjia, my sister is doing well at home. She is making money through embroidery and is very popular.
Father was very happy to hear that you were highly valued by the Queen.
Now, he also cares about me very much, you don't have to worry...
I went to see Zhiheng's family. Everything was fine with her family, but her sister had already entered the palace. Her name was Liu Baizhi.
If you are lucky, maybe you can take care of it.
——Wei Yingning"
Wei Yingluo read every line carefully. Her sister's letter made her feel extremely warm and kind.
However, when she read the last sentence, her brows frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
She couldn't help but think of a girl who had impressed her, the girl who had been staring at her on the day the concubine entered the palace.
If you think about it carefully, her appearance is indeed 80% similar to Zhiheng.
"Could this be her sister Liu Baizhi?" Wei Yingluo murmured to herself.
A complex emotion surged in her heart, with both curiosity and doubt. She didn't know what kind of person Liu Baizhi was, nor did she know whether she could really take care of her as her sister wished.
Wei Yingluo sighed softly. She knew that things in the Forbidden City were often full of variables and uncertainties.
But no matter what, she would try her best to understand Liu Baizhi and help her if possible. After all, she would take her sister's advice to heart.
But she couldn't help but wonder why Liu Baizhi came to the palace? Did she know about Zhiheng and Hongzhou's affairs?
A series of questions came to her mind, but Wei Yingluo knew that these questions could only be answered later.
Fu Heng looked at Wei Yingluo, who was in a daze and sighing, his eyes full of worry.
He gently patted Wei Yingluo's shoulder and asked softly, "Yingluo, what's wrong with you? Is your sister in trouble?"
Wei Yingluo came back to her senses, smiled faintly, shook her head and said, "No, sister is fine. I just saw some unexpected news and was a little surprised."
She carefully put the letter into her arms, as if it were a precious treasure.
Seeing this, Fu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wei Yingluo tenderly, and said, "That's good. If you need any help in the future, let Sister Yingning send someone to Fucha Mansion to tell me at any time."
Wei Yingluo nodded gratefully, secretly feeling lucky that she had someone by her side who would always support and understand her.
"That's good, Yingluo, you haven't told me who this Zhou Yi is." Fu Heng's tone sounded a little aggrieved.
He couldn't help but recall that when Wei Yingluo asked him to deliver a letter to a man, he was actually very reluctant in his heart, but he didn't want to appear ungenerous in front of his beloved, so he held back and didn't ask.
Now seeing that Wei Yingluo had received a reply, Fu Heng finally couldn't help but ask.
Wei Yingluo looked at Fu Heng's jealous look and couldn't help but feel playful.
She teased Fu Heng deliberately and said, "Oh! You mean Brother Zhou? He is my childhood sweetheart and neighbor! He took care of me when I was a child..."
After saying this, she winked at Fu Heng smugly, wanting to see how he would react.
When Fu Heng heard this, he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his heart. He originally thought that they were just ordinary friends, but he didn't expect that they were childhood sweethearts.
He felt very disappointed and a little jealous, and couldn't help asking, "Do you still keep in touch with each other now?"
Wei Yingluo found Fu Heng's anxious look very interesting, so she decided to tease him again. She said mysteriously, "Of course there are many! We often write to each other."
After hearing this, Fu Heng's expression became even uglier.
Seeing that Fu Heng was really angry, Wei Yingluo quickly explained, "Okay, Fu Heng, don't be so stingy. He is just my friend."
Then he leaned close to Fu Heng's ear and whispered with a smile, "Besides, the person I like now is you, Fu Cha Fu Heng."
After hearing what Wei Yingluo said, Fu Heng was so happy that he couldn't hide his smile. He also whispered, "Yingluo, I have always been fond of you."
But he was still a little curious and asked: "But why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Wei Yingluo smiled and replied, "Because I want you to be more jealous." As she spoke, she sticking out her tongue at Fu Heng mischievously.
Fu Heng shook his head helplessly, thinking that he really couldn't do anything with Wei Yingluo.
He watched Wei Yingluo eagerly open the letter, and was very curious about what was written in the letter.
Wei Yingluo began to carefully read the letter from Brother Zhou.
Fu Heng sat quietly aside, but his eyes were fixed on Wei Yingluo. When Wei Yingluo finished reading the letter, a gentle smile appeared on her face, which surprised Fu Heng very much.
Fu Heng couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently pulled Wei Yingluo's sleeve. He coughed and said softly, "Yingluo."
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, as if he was telling Wei Yingluo not to forget that he was still sitting beside her.
Wei Yingluo raised her head and looked at Fu Heng's lovely appearance. The corners of her mouth slightly raised and her smile became brighter.
She patted Fu Heng's shoulder gently and comforted him, "Okay, don't worry, I'm just reading the letter." After that, she took another look at the letter and couldn't help laughing out loud.
