Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master's Wife-Chasing Strategy

Chapter 207: The Third Master Defends Someone’s Shortcomings, The Little Monk Is Scheming and Likes to Trick Others

Yuncheng, Qiao residence…

When the group arrived home, Qiao Aiyun rubbed her aching temples and looked at Song Fengwan. “Wanwan, have breakfast before resting. Don’t go to the atelier today.”

“Okay.” Song Fengwan hadn’t thought that the matter Fu Chen had been hiding from her was actually this.

Ever since Song Jingren had planned the filiation banquet to when the media had slandered her and her mother and then later exposed the photos of her mother and Yan Wangchuan, she had understood that this father didn’t love her as much as she had thought.

Even so, she hadn’t expected him to be so crazy as to get someone to kidnap her.

On the way back, Qiao Wangbei had bought some vegetable porridge and steamed dumplings. Song Fengwan grabbed her chopsticks and just took a bite of the dumplings when her stomach churned badly. She ran to the bathroom and leaned against the sink to vomit for a while…

She hadn’t eaten anything since last night, so there was nothing in her stomach. The pain of dry retching irritated her throat.

Qiao Aiyun was about to go in to take a look when she heard weeping coming from the bathroom. It made her eyes redden.

When she was at the police station, the police had asked her to take a look at Jiang Zhiqiang and asked if she knew him. This man’s gaze was vulgar and obscene, and his actions were nauseating. Even at the police station, he was not behaving himself.

She didn’t dare imagine what kind of misfortune would have befallen Song Fengwan if something had really happened.

Song Fengwan squatted on the ground and reached out to cover her mouth, trying her best not to cry out loud. The more she held it back, the more uncomfortable it was in the ears of the people outside. It was even more upsetting than death by dismemberment.

“Damn it!” Qiao Wangbei took a pack of cigarettes and walked outside in merely a thin sweater. Yan Wangchuan followed him.

The fellow disciples stood at the door and smoked a cigarette.

“Even a vicious tiger will look after its cubs. This bastard is worse than a beast.” Qiao Wangbei smoked. When he was at the police station, he had nearly rushed in to beat Song Jingren up. Unfortunately, he had been stopped by the police and couldn’t lay a hand on him.

“She is his biological daughter, for god’s sake. Did you see that scumbag? He looked so lecherous. If Wanwan really fell into his hands, I… Fu Chen was too gentle. If it were me, I would have f*cking killed him.

“That son of a bitch!”

…

Qiao Wangbei’s fingers holding his cigarette were shaking slightly due to extreme rage.

Yan Wangchuan leaned against the wall and smoked with a lowered head. His actions were much more elegant than Qiao Wangbei’s. But after staying up all night, his eyes were bloodshot.

When dawn broke, the news of Song Jingren’s suspected crime of kidnapping and detainment instantly spread throughout Yuncheng. The media and debt collectors gathered at the police station. Even though the police didn’t announce the specific details of the case, everyone sensed something amiss.

Those who were more keen had already found out from various sources that the person he had wanted to kidnap was his own daughter.

When Old Madam Yan heard the news, she wanted to visit the Qiao residence. But she gave up on the idea when she thought that Song Fengwan might not have snapped out of the shock yet.

The two elders of the Fu family received the news at daybreak. After sighing, they called Fu Chen and told him to show her more concern.

***

Yuncheng, Fu residence…

When Fu Chen returned, the sky was slightly bright.

Sun Qionghua had planned to wait for Fu Chen to go to the Qiao residence to apologize yesterday. Little had she expected Qiao Wangbei to call ahead of time and ask her to pick up Huai Sheng. He hadn’t explained the reason. After picking Huai Sheng up and asking around, she found out that something had happened to the Song family.

Naturally, she had to lament over the incident.

“Third Brother, is this thing about the Song family… true?” Sun Qionghua was still in disbelief.

Fu Chen nodded.

“My god. Thankfully, we canceled the engagement back then. Otherwise, it would have implicated our family. I don’t even dare to think about it.” To her, the Song family were only people who had nearly become their in-laws. Naturally, she had no feelings for them.

Her tone carried the cold-bloodedness of an onlooker, making Fu Chen very uncomfortable listening to it.

“I wonder what that girl Song Fengwan will do in the future. After such a thing happened at home, in the future…”

Fu Chen’s fingers abruptly tightened around the prayer beads. “She’ll be fine.”

“Huh?” Sun Qionghua was taken aback. “Why are you suddenly so serious?”

Fu Chen tilted his head and looked at her. “Second Sister-in-Law, what do you think will happen to her in the future?”

His eyes were gentle but exuded a cold and sharp feel. He hadn’t slept the whole night, and the chilliness in the corners of his eyes was even stronger.

“I was just saying casually. As you know, this kind of thing can be hidden from ordinary people. But for families with a little ability, they only have to do a bit of investigation, and they’ll know that something like this happened to her family before. Naturally, they will also treat her…”

When choosing daughters-in-law, many families cared greatly about their backgrounds. For someone whose parents had divorced, and the father had been imprisoned… If word got out, it would probably be difficult for her to even find a partner in the future.

Fu Chen said in a low voice, “You’re talking too much.”

Sun Qionghua was baffled.

“Second Sister-in-Law, I’ve always felt that you’re different from ordinary women because you didn’t gossip about others in private. I didn’t expect you to talk about the troubles of others in private.”

“No, Third Brother…” Sun Qionghua frowned.?I only said a few words casually. Why is he angry?

“She will live better than anyone else in the future.”

Sun Qionghua barely squeezed a smile out from the corner of her mouth.

They had known each other for more than 20 years, and she could be considered to have watched Fu Chen grow up. This was the first time she saw him behave like this toward her.

He didn’t hide his emotions at all.

“Mother, Third Uncle, what are you guys talking about?” While she was deep in thought, Fu Yuxiu came downstairs. The news had yet to spread online, so he naturally didn’t know about it.

“It’s nothing. Where’s Huai Sheng?” Sun Qionghua’s thoughts were interrupted, so she changed the subject straight away.

Given Fu Chen’s temper, if she continued with this topic, it was likely that he might just embarrass her.

This younger brother-in-law of hers didn’t even give her husband face. She was his second sister-in-law, so he was usually more respectful. If she angered him… He even dared to talk back to Old Master Fu, let alone her.

“Huai Sheng…” Fu Yuxiu was fuming at the mention of this little monk.

When the little monk was brought over, Sun Qionghua had reminded him repeatedly that his grandmother and third uncle liked this child a lot and told him that he had to take good care of him.

The Fu family was about to leave the country, so many rooms had been tidied up, and no one was staying in them anymore. Since they were both boys, Sun Qionghua got Huai Sheng and Fu Yuxiu to stay in the same room. In any case, it would only be for a day or two.

When Sun Qionghua went out to play mahjong at night, the task of taking care of Huai Sheng naturally fell on Fu Yuxiu.

He watched him do his homework until past nine o’clock before he finally finished helping him bathe with much difficulty.

This little monk actually asked him, “Big Brother, can I recite scriptures? I have homework to do every day.”

Fu Yuxiu had never taken care of a child before, so he was exhausted. He dismissed him casually. “Do whatever you want.”

Then he took out a Buddhist scripture and a wooden fish from his small suitcase. The evening class lasted for an hour, and Fu Yuxiu nearly went crazy.

It was still easy to let it pass in the evening. He went to the living room downstairs to watch TV for a bit. When he went upstairs, Huai Sheng was already asleep.

But before daybreak, the sound of knocking on the wooden fish rang out again.

He was so angry that he only wanted to strangle him to death.

Who didn’t have an early morning temper?

The sky wasn’t even bright yet, and he was already meditating and knocking on the wooden fish. He had to be trying to kill him.

He couldn’t take it anymore. He jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom to take a shower. When he returned, the little monk actually wasn’t done yet.

“Didn’t you say your morning class is an hour?” Fu Yuxiu raised an eyebrow.

“Yes. But I went out to play a few days ago and fell behind in my studies. I want to make up for it.” Huai Sheng’s face looked innocent and guileless.

Fu Yuxiu’s face turned green with anger. He was also a person with a temper. How could he still be bullied by a brat in his own house? What a joke!

He dashed over to snatch the wooden fish, opened the window, and tried to throw it out.

Huai Sheng tilted his head. “Big Brother, go ahead and throw it away. I will get Third Uncle to buy me a new one later.”

Third Uncle?

This is a freaking curse.

Fu Yuxiu retracted his hand resentfully and shoved the wooden fish at him. “Kid, you’re not allowed to complain to Third Uncle.”

Huai Sheng reached out to clean the wooden fish silently.

***

Fu Yuxiu yawned as he walked downstairs.

Since Sun Qionghua said that it was nothing, he didn’t take it to heart.

Damn, that bald monk liked to wrap himself in a blanket in the middle of the night. I couldn’t sleep at all.

“Third Uncle.” Huai Sheng followed him downstairs. Seeing Fu Chen, he hurried down the stairs and rushed over to Fu Chen’s side.

“Did you sleep well last night?” Fu Chen reached out to help him adjust his clothes.

“Not really. This big brother isn’t well-behaved when he sleeps. He kept kicking me and liked to pull the blanket.” Huai Sheng’s expression was innocent.

Fu Yuxiu nearly vomited blood.?F*ck, who was the one who bundled himself in the blanket and slept restlessly? This little monk actually cried thief when he’s the culprit.

“Yuxiu’s sleeping posture isn’t very good.” Sun Qionghua smiled.

“That’s right. By the way, he also wanted to throw my wooden fish away. Third Uncle, does he not like me?”

Fu Yuxiu was dumbfounded. “Little monk, didn’t we agree not to tell Third Uncle?”

“You said it. I didn’t agree.” Huai Sheng snorted coldly.

The wooden fish is my precious treasure. He dared to touch it, yet he didn’t want me to complain about it?

No way.

I have to tell Grandma Fu too when I get back.

“He wasn’t thinking about throwing your wooden fish away. Big Brother was just playing around with you.” Sun Qionghua smiled as she reached out to touch his little bald head. “Right, Yuxiu? You were just playing around.”

What else could Fu Yuxiu say? His mother had already found an excuse for him, so he had to take it. “Yes, I was just joking.”

“Don’t joke with monks. I’ll take it seriously,” Huai Sheng said very earnestly. “We monks are very proper and serious.”

Fu Yuxiu clenched his fists.

Is this brat saying that I’m not proper or serious?

He’s making me so f*cking pissed this early in the morning.

Sun Qionghua looked embarrassed too, but she couldn’t argue with a child.

Fu Chen had initially felt upset because of Sun Qionghua’s words, but he felt extremely comfortable now. If he taught this child well, he would definitely become a very capable person in the future.
