Chapter 51: Brother and Sister-in-law's Love
Cui Wanjun said with red eyes: "You are a weak woman, you must have been bullied a lot."
Fu Danjun didn't need to act tough with her brother and sister-in-law, so she admitted, "That marquis's mansion is indeed a bully. Lu Yu married the daughter of a thousand-household marquis and even wanted to divorce me. Fortunately, I was very stubborn and finally got a divorce."
Fu Xiaoshan was so angry that smoke came out of his head: "Lu Yu is so heartless, why was he so blind back then?"
Seeing her brother's agitation, Fu Danjun quickly said, "You've already divorced, why get angry anymore? It'll only cause you more trouble."
Cui Wanjun, who was always gentle and kind, supported her husband for the first time: "We can't let the Lu family bully us like this. Husband should find an opportunity to teach them a lesson."
Fu Danjun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sister-in-law's intentions are good, but no matter how rich we are, we are still merchants, and no matter how poor the Marquis' Mansion is, it is still the government. There is no benefit in trying to hit a stone with an egg."
Fu Xiaoshan agreed with his wife: "Madam, you are right. I will definitely find an opportunity to teach Lu a lesson. Sister, please don't stop me. You don't know how humble Lu Yu was in front of our father back then."
Then, Lu Yu recounted the scene of the past: "When Lu Yu came to ask for marriage, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed like a dog. As soon as my father agreed, he immediately said that the mansion was in decline and he was short of money, and he had no money to pay for the imperial examination. My father helped him spend ten thousand taels of silver without saying a word, hoping that he would treat you well in the future. Who knew that he was so cruel and let you down?"
After listening to this, Fu Danjun felt quite calm.
Because compared to Lu Yu's later evil deeds, these were nothing.
In fact, she didn't let her brother teach Lu Yu a lesson not because she was a coward, but because she was afraid that her brother would be implicated.
She hoped that Xie Changsheng would punish Lu Yu in the future, which would be like hitting the snake at its most vulnerable part.
"Oh, look, the soup is getting cold."
Fu Danjun changed the subject: "Lan Fang, bring it down and heat it up quickly."
Seeing his sister like this, Fu Xiaoshan could only shut up.
But he was feeling quite depressed and didn't even drink a sip of tea after dinner: "I'm going to take a walk outside. I feel really depressed."
Fu Danjun was afraid that he would go to Lu Yu to settle the score, so he quickly told two servants to follow him: "Brother, it will be more convenient if you take them with you than if you go alone."
Fu Xiaoshan agreed, but as soon as he left, he stuffed money into the servant's pocket and said, "No matter what happens, don't tell Danjun, so she won't worry."
The two servants had no choice but to agree, after all, they were siblings.
Seeing that his sister-in-law had gone to coax his niece to sleep, Fu Danjun said to Lan Fang, "We need to check out the new storefront at the clothing store today. Call Sister Yuan and we'll go together."
Lan Fang went to invite him with a smile, but she came back in shock: "Miss, please go and see, the lady is leaving."
Fu Danjun was startled and rushed over.
Yuan had already packed her things, and Jin Zhao had also changed into clothes for going out.
Fu Danjun asked anxiously, "Where did I neglect to do that? Did I let my sister leave?"
Yuan quickly smiled and said, "You are my benefactor. I am only grateful to you. I am thinking that I will not be short of money for the rest of my life, and it is time to find a quiet place to live with my children."
Fu Danjun disagreed with this reason: "Isn't it quiet here? There must be another reason."
Upon hearing this, Yuan could only smile bitterly and said, "Although Tang Caidie has let us go now, there's no telling if she'll start trouble again someday. If she gets you involved, I'll be really sorry."
Fu Danjun was so sad that she was speechless. Lan Fang said, "Madam, what you said makes sense. We are women after all. If the Tang family sends thugs to our door, how can we resist? So, young lady, please agree and let Madam find a place to rest."
Fu Danjun could only sigh and ask, "Where are you planning to go, sister?"
Yuan smiled and said, "I want to go back to my hometown and open a tavern there so that Jin Zhao can go to school."
Fu Danjun frowned and thought: "Although my hometown is good, it is still dangerous if Li Xiuyuan can find you."
After being reminded, Yuan sighed: "That's right. My mother passed away a long time ago, my relationship with my father is strained, and my relatives and friends are also alienated."
Fu Danjun laughed and said, "Now that you're rich, you and your widow won't be targeted by others. I'll help you find a safe place so you don't have to go back to your hometown."
When Yuan heard this, she was delighted: "Sister, please tell me quickly."
Fu Danjun quickly said with a smile: "Let's go to my hometown, Yuhang in Jiangnan. I'll write a letter and ask my father to take care of you."
Yuan was so moved that tears fell from her eyes, and she pulled Jin Zhao to kneel down and kowtow.
Fu Danjun quickly helped them up and said, "My sister and I are very close friends. I really don't want you to be away. If you stay in my hometown, there will be someone to take care of you, and you won't lose contact."
Yuan was even more grateful. Fu Danjun smiled and said, "You don't have to go on the road alone with the child. My brother will be back in Jiangnan in a few days. You can go together."
Lan Fang said with a smile: "Miss, you forgot that you had to go see the new store!"
Fu Danjun was reminded and smiled and invited Yuan: "Sister, there is no hurry to leave. How about accompanying me to see the new store?"
Yuan smiled and said, "Of course I'll accompany you."
Then the two of them went out hand in hand, got into the car, and headed to the new store.
The owner saw Fu Danjun coming and hurriedly invited her in with a smile: "Miss, please look, my shop is clean and spacious, and the price is right. You will definitely not regret it if you buy it."
Fu Danjun thought it was really good. The guy at home really didn't lie to her: "Sister, what do you think?"
Yuan looked around, frowned, and said, "It's good feng shui, it's good for gathering wealth."
