The next day, Rong Shang kept thinking about finding Fu Jingchen to ask him about the matter, but he went on a long trip during the day because of business, and Rong Shang couldn't see him.
By evening, Rong Shang asked the maid who delivered her dinner where Fu Jingchen lived. She learned that he lived in the Zitan Garden in the south, so she went there after dinner.
To everyone's surprise, Rong Shang still couldn't find Fu Jingchen in the empty courtyard, apart from the men guarding the place and the maids coming and going.
That's strange.
Has he not returned yet?
But the maidservant clearly said that Fu Jingchen returned from outside at dusk.
Unable to find anyone, Rong Chang had no choice but to return to the courtyard.
Who knew that at this moment, another sound came from the east, not too far from here.
Rong Chang paused as she was about to enter the small house.
She frowned slightly as she listened to the pitiful cries beside her.
Is Fu Beiyao punishing his servants again?
She didn't want to get involved, but then she thought about where Fu Jingchen had gone, so she decided to go and see if Fu Beiyao knew anything about it.
...
At night, candles flickered red in the Bright Moon Pavilion.
A woman in a pink floral dress knelt on the ground, her forehead turning red from kowtowing, but she still couldn't earn a single glance from the man.
"Tenth Master, Wanlan really knows she was wrong. Please, please forgive me."
She was blinded by love and lust, which is why she took the initiative to ask the old lady to give her to him as a concubine.
"Heh." Fu Beiyao sneered, and as his cold eyes flickered slightly, he suddenly asked, "Wanlan, how long have you been here?"
Wanlan's expression froze for a moment. "Tenth Master, Wanlan has been in the Fu residence for seventeen years."
She entered the household at the age of five and has been by the old lady's side ever since.
To the old lady, Wanlan was like her daughter.
While enjoying the favor bestowed upon her by the old lady, Jiang Wanlan secretly developed feelings for Fu Beiyao.
Today, taking advantage of Fu Beiyao's absence, she went to the old lady herself and begged her to grant her a marriage decree.
She even said that she wouldn't mind if he became her concubine.
But as it turns out, Fu Beiyao was never someone who could be manipulated at will.
"Oh?" Raising an eyebrow, Fu Beiyao suddenly turned around. In the instant his expression changed slightly, he kicked the woman in the lower abdomen.
"ah!"
Jiang Wanlan fell to the ground and cried out in pain again.
She was originally a delicate woman, but now, after being kicked hard by Fu Beiyao, she felt both pain and injustice, and tears streamed down her face.
The man in the armchair in front of her had already stood up, his black shadow falling. Jiang Wanlan heard him say coldly, "So, this is your reason for thinking you can be more unrestrained than others?"
Before, it was one thing for her to throw a tantrum and insist on living in Mingyue Pavilion, but now... she actually dares to ask him to marry her.
Ha, they're really pushing their luck.
His mother liked her, but he didn't.
Why should he settle for less?
He must have been angry, because Fu Beiyao ordered the servants to pack up all of Jiang Wanlan's belongings and make her get out of Mingyue Pavilion.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanlan broke down in tears, crying, "No, I don't want to move out."
"Tenth Master, you can scold me or punish me however you want, just please don't kick me out, okay?"
If she leaves Mingyue Pavilion, how will she be able to see him every day?
Jiang Wanlan was filled with remorse for not expecting such consequences.
Rong Shang stood outside the door, looking at the woman inside who was wailing loudly, her indifferent expression unmoved.
Clearly, she didn't feel sorry for Jiang Wanlan at all.
