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

Chapter 245: Third Master Was Stabbed, His Biological Sister Stabbed Him in the Back

Winter in the capital was cold and dry. Even though the sun was high in the sky, the cold wind still bombarded people…

Shen Jinye was sitting in a car, his eyes lifeless. His head was empty of thoughts, and he was leaning his head against the car window, wanting to jump out.

He had gone to the old Fu residence to have lunch. Shen Dongwen had accompanied Old Master Fu to the birds and flowers market, while Fu Wan had brought him with her. She had first sent Huai Sheng to his tutoring class and then sent Old Madam Fu to the Pear Garden to watch the opera.

Old Madam Fu was an opera fan, but Fu Wan wasn’t. She only entered the Pear Garden for a short while before soon coming out and saying straightforwardly, “Come with me to find your uncle. I’m looking for him for some business.”

“Mom, I want to accompany Grandma to watch the opera. I think the play today is pretty good.” Shen Jinye wanted to cry but had no tears. He had just escaped and didn’t want to go back.

“Do you even understand? Do you think I don’t know what kind of person you are?” Fu Wan sneered. “Stop trying to play dumb. Let’s go quickly.”

As soon as he had left the tiger’s den, his own mother stuffed him right back in.

When the two reached Yunjin Prime Manor, Song Fengwan was packing up her stuff in the studio.

Qiao Aiyun and Yan Wangchuan would arrive in the capital at around eight in the evening and stay for the night. Tomorrow morning, they would visit the two elders of the Fu Family and deliver some Lunar New Year gifts before bringing her home.

Fu Chen was copying Buddhist scriptures in the study, but he couldn’t calm down no matter what.

He felt agitated and depressed.

Upon hearing that Fu Wan was here, Song Fengwan hurriedly ran downstairs. “Hello, Auntie.”

“Hi, Wanwan. Are you busy?” Fu Wan smiled at her.

“No… Nothing much.” She didn’t have much luggage in the first place, so she packed very quickly. But she felt flustered that Fu Wan kept smiling at her.

“Then accompany me shopping. There’s no girl in our family, so I can’t find anyone to keep me company.” It was really difficult to turn down Fu Wan’s warm invitation. “If I get Jinye to shop with me, he’ll whine awfully after taking two steps.”

“Sure.” Song Fengwan glanced at Fu Chen, but he didn’t say anything.

Song Fengwan grabbed her coat, carried her sling bag, and followed Fu Wan out. Fu Chen and Shen Jinye were the ones left in the house again.

Fu Chen shot him a cold look.

Shen Jinye’s body trembled. “Little Uncle, I swear I didn’t say anything to anyone. Otherwise, when I go out, I’ll encounter a car…”

“There’s no need to be so cruel. If you reveal it, you’ll be impotent forever,” Fu Chen said in a low voice.

Shen Jinye was speechless.?That’s even more f*cking ruthless, okay?

“Come into the study and help me grind ink.”

Shen Jinye’s head hurt.

Why do old cows like to eat young grass…?

Is it because young grass doesn’t get stuck in their teeth?

***

Thousand Treasures Mall…

“Do you want something to drink?” Fu Wan pointed at the coffee shop by the side.

“No, thank you.” Song Fengwan and Fu Chen were secretly dating, so she felt guilty and flustered.

Fu Wan seemed not to hear her and ordered two cups, one with brown sugar added, and stuffed it into Song Fengwan’s hands. “Why do I feel like you’re a little afraid of me? Is it because I was too fierce yesterday that you got scared?”

“No.” Song Fengwan had truly been frightened.

Even someone as domineering as Sun Qionghua had been suppressed firmly.

She was domineering and valiant, and she even dared to criticize her Third Brother. Song Fengwan was in awe.

Moreover, she was too astute, and Song Fengwan was also afraid that she would notice something. Naturally, she behaved ever more carefully, for fear of offending her accidentally.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m a good person.” Fu Wan sized her up. When she chatted with her mother last night, Old Madam Fu had praised her for a long time. Now that she was taking her measure, she found that she was a pretty good young lady.

Yuxiu is simply blind. Why did he give up on such a nice young lady and fall in love with that illegitimate daughter?

People couldn’t decide their birth, and being an illegitimate daughter couldn’t decide her character. This was the sin of the previous generation and shouldn’t implicate a child.

But there was definitely no such coincidence in the world. It wasn’t like they were acting in a TV drama. The elder sister had met her younger sister’s fiancé by chance, and they fell in love with each other. And she also used this opportunity to enter the Song family.

Most coincidences were deliberate and premeditated.

Even though she hadn’t met Jiang Fengya, Fu Wan could still guess her character.

Hearing her say that she was a good person, Song Fengwan only smiled without saying anything.

Fu Wan was out to buy clothes for her parents. The two elders of the Fu family, like most elderly people, were used to tough times. They couldn’t bear to use the things their children bought, nor did they wear new clothes. They always liked to wear their few old styles.

Old Master Fu had been involved in foreign affairs in the past, so his face was still quite recognizable. If someone who didn’t know him saw him, he would simply appear to be an ordinary old man, just slightly smarter and more capable than ordinary people.

Fu Wan held an embroidered cotton shirt in front of her chest and turned her head to look at Song Fengwan. “Are you a bit bored shopping with me?”

“No.” It was rare for Song Fengwan to go out of the house, so it was a good chance for her to relax.

“Wanwan, you’ve been staying at Fu Chen’s place for a while. You two seem to get along pretty well.”

“It’s… okay.” Song Fengwan felt guilty. The elder sister of the Fu family was too shrewd.?Could she have found something?

“Then, do you know that our Fu Chen is wooing someone?”

Song Fengwan tightened her grip on the milk tea paper cup in her hand. “Wooing someone?”

“The two of you live under the same roof. Don’t tell me you don’t know. When I called him before, he said he was wooing a girl, and his tone was very earnest. I wonder which girl has such high standards that even my younger brother doesn’t satisfy her,” Fu Wan muttered.

“Did he tell you this?”

“Our San’er[1] has never been in love before. He hasn’t even held a girl’s hand before. I’m afraid he won’t know how to woo her and scare her away.”

Song Fengwan smiled awkwardly.?Third Brother doesn’t know how to woo girls?

He’s a king when it comes to flirting, okay?

When haven’t I been made weak in the knees?

“Actually, many young ladies pursued Third Brother when he was in school. I attended a parent-teacher meeting for him, and his desk was full of love letters, but he was slow at understanding them. He was still in school at the time, so our family wasn’t in a hurry either.

“But he’s already twenty-seven, nearly twenty-eight. If he doesn’t awaken soon, I’m really afraid that he’ll leave home to become a monk.”

Song Fengwan lowered her head and drank the milk tea.?Even if he leaves home, he’ll still be a non-vegetarian monk who eats meat and drinks alcohol.

“Do you really not know which girl our San’er likes? Or who he’s been getting close to?”

Fu Wan had specially looked for Song Fengwan to ask about this. She knew that Fu Chen’s lips were tight, and she couldn’t pry them open, so she wanted to strike from elsewhere. Song Fengwan had been living with him for a few months. Even if she wasn’t aware, she should have heard something.

“I was studying and taking exams, so I didn’t notice,” Song Fengwan lied casually.

After all, she couldn’t tell her directly that Fu Chen was wooing her.

“That’s true. This brat has always been scheming. I wonder which young lady is so unlucky to have caught his eye.”

“Unlucky?”

“This brat has a stubborn temper. Don’t look at how he smiles at others, looking gentle and harmless, but he’s actually devious and domineering. Whatever he wants, he will hold in his hands even till death. Others can’t even look at it.” Fu Wan couldn’t help complaining.

Song Fengwan nodded.?She’s indeed his biological sister. She knows him too well.

Third Brother has very strong jealousy.

“However, San’er has a flaw…” Fu Wan was speechless.

“What?”

“It’s too easy for him to get anything, so he’s not passionate about anything. It’s as though there’s nothing that can interest him for a long time and maintain his enthusiasm for too long.

“I’m just worried that if he woos her so fiercely now but isn’t able to bring her back… I’m afraid my mother will create difficulties for him.”

Fu Wan only mentioned it casually. But Song Fengwan bit her lip tightly, her heart throbbing as though it had been stabbed by a thorn.

Actually, their relationship had warmed up during the few days when they had gone overseas on New Year’s Eve. Their hearts and minds were connected, and they hadn’t explicitly said that they were dating or together. Everything had happened naturally.

The two of them were currently in the passionate stage of their relationship, so they wouldn’t consider other things at all.

Hearing Fu Wan’s words, she felt inexplicably flustered.

She would be taking the college entrance examination in June and would be returning to Yuncheng soon. She didn’t even check her phone in normal times, let alone maintain her relationship. Whether he would get to know someone else and how their relationship would develop in a few months was unknown.

“Hey—” Fu Wan suddenly patted her shoulder.

“Yes?”

“Why are you in a daze? Help me take a look and see which of these two clothes look better.” Fu Wan had initially wanted to find out who Fu Chen liked so that she could help too. Unexpectedly…

She had secretly ‘stabbed’ Fu Chen.

While Fu Chen was ‘torturing’ Shen Jinye on his end, he had been stabbed in the back by his sister.

What goes around comes around. Who would be spared by the heavens?

***

Fu Wan bought clothes for the two Fu elders and a tie for Fu Chen.

Fu Chen clearly realized that something was amiss with Song Fengwan after she returned. Even though their relationship had yet to be exposed, and they had to hide it, surely there was no need for her to hide from him.

Her face was very crestfallen. It was obvious that she had been wronged and was hiding something. Furthermore, it was definitely related to him.

Fu Chen took a look at Shen Jinye.

Shen Jinye really wanted to cry but had no tears.?What does this have to do with me? I really haven’t said anything. If you two have a conflict, why are you glaring at me? There’s no way I can live like this anymore.

[1] 三儿 San’er is an affectionate nickname derived from Third(San) Fu.
