Fu Hengyu held Shen Yuerong's hand with a gentle tone.
However, what he said made Shen Yuerong feel disgusted.
She pulled her hand back, wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said sadly: "My husband, what are you talking about? As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fu family, I will only swallow my anger if I am beaten. How dare I get angry?"
"Besides, my husband has spoken for Heng Jing, so I naturally have no objection."
"But from now on, the Fu family will only pay Heng Jing a tuition fee, and the daily food expenses and pocket money will be limited to one tael of silver each. All other expenses will be waived."
“Why?”
Before Shen Yuerong finished speaking, Fu Hengjing suddenly stood up, glared at Shen Yuerong, and said, “These silvers belong to the Fu family, why are you deducting them!”
When he roared, Shen Yuerong was startled, and a layer of mist filled her eyes.
She turned to look at Fu Hengyu and explained anxiously: "Husband, I do this for the future of Hengjing."
"Mother said that she wanted Hengjing to rank among the top three in the imperial examination next year, just like her husband, and serve the country and bring honor to the Fu family. But Hengjing's schoolwork is...sigh." Shen Yuerong looked at Fu Hengjing with a heartache, and continued, "It's all my fault as a sister-in-law. I didn't even know that Hengjing went out gambling and drinking all day."
Fu Hengyu suddenly looked at Fu Hengjing.
Fu Hengjing felt a little nervous and opened his eyes.
Even his body was not as straight as before when he was kneeling.
There was a coldness in Shen Yuerong's eyes, but her mouth was full of self-blame, and at the end, she even started to cry.
Fu Hengyu felt an inexplicable pang in his heart when he heard this.
He reached out and took Shen Yuerong into his arms, comforting her, "It's not your fault." He turned his head and glared at Fu Hengjing, saying unhappily, "You are such a low-spirited person, why don't you learn anything else but these unpresentable things!"
"Why can't I be on stage?" Fu Hengjing stood up angrily and said dissatisfiedly, "You can marry that dissolute woman as a concubine, why can't I be allowed to do so just for fun?"
Come to think of it, the eldest brother is even more unpresentable than him.
Fu Hengjing curled his lips.
Fu Hengyu was so angry that his face suddenly changed. He grabbed the teacup and smashed it hard on Fu Hengjing: "How can I be compared with you!"
No.
You are much more disgusting than him.
At least he was playing with women openly, while you were plotting against your savior in secret.
Shen Yuerong lowered her eyes with a sad expression, and tightened her grip on Yu's fingertips.
No matter how unhappy Fu Hengjing was, he was still afraid of Fu Hengyu. After being scolded by Fu Hengyu, he knelt on the ground indignantly and said, "But one tael of silver is too little. I can't even have a cup of tea in Chunyue Tower!"
Fu Hengyu also felt it was too little.
Although one or two ounces is enough for Fu Hengjing to eat delicious fish and meat.
But when the Fu family went out, they only had one or two taels of silver on them, and it would be really embarrassing if the news got out.
He turned his head, looked at Shen Yuerong gently, and said: "Rong'er, look..."
"Husband, it's not that I'm reluctant to part with the money."
Shen Yuerong sighed, held Fu Hengyu's hand with her backhand, and said earnestly: "Hengjing is as talented as you, but now the imperial examination is approaching, and he has fallen behind in his studies."
"Even though he is smart, he still has to work hard to win the first prize."
"If we are influenced by external factors while working hard and miss our future, wouldn't that be very bad?"
"Besides, when he wins the top three, he can serve the country and bring glory to the Fu family together with my husband. It would be a good thing if the word of two heroes in one family got out. My husband, what do you think?"
Every word that Shen Yuerong said was for the Fu family's consideration.
How could Fu Hengyu not be moved?
I had wanted to gain some more benefits for my brother, but after hearing this, I gradually gave up the idea.
Because Shen Yuerong had painted an excellent future for him, his brother, and the Fu family.
As long as Fu Hengjing gets the top three, the Fu family will have a place in the court in the future.
Fu Hengyu has always been very ambitious. Now that he has been stimulated by Shen Yuerong, his ambition has grown rapidly as if he had encountered a sweet rain. Even the look in his eyes when he looks at Fu Hengjing is full of expectation.
But he had been away from home for three years and had long forgotten that Fu Hengjing was an uneducated and unskilled playboy.
Without money, he would feel uncomfortable all over and would not be able to concentrate on his studies.
The so-called two heroes from one family is nothing but wishful thinking.
With Fu Hengyu's approval, Fu Hengjing didn't dare to say anything even if he was dissatisfied. He glared at Shen Yuerong angrily, snorted coldly, and stood up and left.
Without even a greeting.
He's been spoiled so much that he doesn't even know the rules.
Disdain flashed in Shen Yuerong's eyes, and she pulled her hand back from Fu Hengyu without leaving a trace.
"My husband has been working hard these past few days. Have you had dinner yet? There is some food in the small kitchen. If my husband wants to eat, I will ask them to bring it up."
"No need."
The reason I came here today was to ask for Fu Hengjing's tuition.
The matter had been resolved and he didn't want to stay any longer.
Fu Hengyu's eyes quickly swept across Shen Yuerong's legs, then quickly moved away.
No matter how you look at it, these legs are disgusting.
Even through the clothes, it made him feel sick.
But you still have to pretend.
Fu Hengyu said gently: "I have something else to do today, you can rest now."
"All right."
Fu Hengyu turned his back and walked quickly towards the door. The weakness on Shen Yuerong's face also disappeared.
She just asked casually and didn't expect Fu Hengyu to stay.
But the speed with which he rejected her was still so hurtful.
Shen Yuerong lowered her eyes, staring into the void, not knowing what she was thinking.
It was not until Qinghua called her twice that Shen Yuerong came back to her senses.
"What's the matter?" Shen Yuerong's voice was very soft.
It floats in the air, as if it will be blown away by the wind soon.
Qinghua felt sad when she heard this.
She bit her lip, and suddenly she didn't know whether she should tell Shen Yuerong about this.
Seeing her expression like this, Shen Yuerong pulled her lips, smiled bitterly, and said, "Did Fu Hengyu go to Du Wan's place?"
Qinghua's nose suddenly felt sore and he nodded heavily: "Yeah."
She had just seen it with her own eyes.
The yard is now full of laughter and joy, and it is very lively.
But it is so deserted here, young lady.
It was so cold that Qinghua's heart ached.
Shen Yuerong raised her eyes and looked towards the guest courtyard, as if she could see through countless high walls and see the scene in that courtyard.
"Go ahead."
"I can't keep it."
…
When dealing with Fu Hengjing, Shen Yuerong expected that the old lady would make trouble.
But she didn't expect that the other party would set his eyes on the shop she owned.
She was even so impatient that she brought it up immediately when she went to pay her respects to the old lady.
The other party has found a good excuse.
As soon as she entered the door, the old lady looked at her with eyes full of pity: "Rong'er, I heard from the servants in the mansion that the lights in your courtyard have been turned off after midnight these days. Is it because you are too busy?"
"Look, why didn't you tell me you were too busy? You're not in good health to begin with. If you get too exhausted, it will be very painful for me."
"Well, Yue'er will get married sooner or later, and she should learn how to take care of the housework. Let her help you."
