However, after dark...
After eating and taking a bath, Rong Shang was about to change her clothes and lie down to rest.
Unexpectedly, a maid knocked on the door, saying that the old lady wanted to see her.
Having been here for several days, Rong Shang had heard about the old lady of the Fu family and knew that she was Fu Jingchen's mother.
But she didn't know where the old lady lived in Jingyang Tower, so she could only open the door and follow the maid.
Tonight, the sky is overcast and the night is dark; it looks like it's going to rain.
When Rong Shang arrived at the entrance of Jingyang Tower, a tall and perfect figure was just one step ahead of her and had already entered the main hall.
Just then, the old lady inside said in surprise, "Tenth Prince, what brings you here now?"
Tenth brother...
Rong Chang raised an eyebrow.
Fu Beiyao?
It seems that she has only encountered this man at night during the several days she has been here.
Knowing he was there, Rong Shang lost interest. She stood at the door until her maidservant reminded her, "Miss Mu, please."
Rong Shang glanced at her and hummed in agreement.
She then went inside, and Fu Beiyao, who was talking to the old lady, happened to turn around and look over.
Suddenly, a woman appeared in his line of sight, and Fu Beiyao's dark eyes lit up. "Mu Yunshu, what brings you here too?"
"Madam."
There was only one elderly woman in the hall, who was sitting in the main chair. Rong Shang glanced at her and, knowing her identity, greeted her politely.
The old man first glanced at her, then she smiled gently and politely gestured to the seat opposite Fu Beiyao, "Miss Mu, please sit down."
"Thank you, Madam."
Nodding, Rong Chang walked over, completely ignoring Fu Beiyao.
However, because her swollen ankle was still aching, Rong Shang's walking posture was not as natural as before.
The old lady saw it, raised an eyebrow in surprise, and was about to ask her something.
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, a figure walked past him.
Fu Beiyao got up from the seat opposite him and followed him, "What happened to your foot?"
In front of the old lady, he directly grabbed Rong Shang's arm.
With an indifferent expression, Rong Shang glanced back at him, then silently withdrew her hand. "It's just a sprain."
She had already sat down after saying that.
Fu Beiyao stood there and frowned, his sharp gaze fixed on Rong Shang's injured ankle.
He blocked her view, and the old lady said helplessly, "Alright, tenth brother, you sit down too."
"I understand, Mother."
Fu Beiyao finally came to his senses, but his gaze never left Rong Chang for a moment.
Even though he was initially seated opposite Rong Shang, he is now sitting next to her.
Rong Chang, “…”
The old lady paused upon seeing this.
After a few seconds of silence, she turned to Rong Shang with a kind smile on her lips. "Miss Mu, the reason I asked you to come here is to ask for your permission for something."
Their eyes met, and Rong Shang glimpsed the old lady's thoughts from her loving gaze.
What she didn't expect was that the old lady had called her over this time to propose marriage on behalf of Fu Jingchen.
Could it be that Fu Jingchen left in a hurry in the evening just for this?
With a flicker of her eyes, Rong Shang smiled gently, "Please speak, Madam."
"Wait a moment!"
