Lu Qingyan didn't know what he meant by the second half of his sentence, but she also disagreed with the first half.
Lu Qingyan tapped her index finger on the table: "Given Father's current status and the Fu family's situation back then, why would he need to put on an act for you? You say he's putting on an act for others, but who are those others?"
"Want to know?" Madam Fu chuckled. "I'm not going to tell you everything. Just keep guessing."
Lu Qingyan: Hehe, I don't want to guess.
Lu Qingyan twirled the jade thumb ring on her hand and smiled, "If Mother is unwilling to say, I, as her daughter, will not force her. However, there is something I would like to tell Mother. Although no one has come to tell Mother, Mother should still know."
Fu Li laughed loudly and threw a teacup at me: "You don't need to tell me anything, I don't care to know."
"Is that so? Father is going to take a concubine."
As Lu Qingyan spoke, she remained expressionless, as if she were talking about someone unrelated to her.
Fu Li was furious. She shouted, "He can't do this! He belongs to me alone and shouldn't have anything to do with anyone else. Go stop him! Go stop him!"
Lu Qingyan curled the corners of her lips: "Why is Mother so angry? Don't you care about Father at all? If that's the case, why do you interfere in what he does? My mother has been childless in the Fu family for many years. It's time for my father to have someone by his side."
"You wretched child! You wretched child!" Fu Li roared, throwing another teacup at Lu Qingyan. This time, Lu Qingyan didn't dodge. Perhaps she was too angry, because this time she didn't use much force; the teacup just landed on the ground without hitting Lu Qingyan.
She only had a teacup left, and at that moment she threw it at Lu Qingyan, but this time it went too far and missed.
"There's something I've always wanted you to answer. Was the arranged marriage your sister's idea or yours? Do you hate me so much just because I'm a girl?"
Lu Qingyan truly couldn't understand the latter matter, but the former stemmed from her suspicion of Fu Li Shi. Fu Zige was trained by Fu Li Shi, and no matter how capable she was, she couldn't hide the matter of the arranged marriage from Fu Li Shi unless Fu Li Shi was also involved.
Thinking that this mother had played a part in the original owner's torturous love affair in the first half of her life, Lu Qingyan didn't know what to say.
How did a biological mother and daughter end up like this?
A mother might wish her newborn daughter would die immediately.
Hearing Lu Qingyan's two questions, Fu Lishi panicked. Her lips trembled: "You...you know everything?"
Lu Qingyan concealed the mockery in her eyes and retorted, "How could I possibly guess such a flawless scheme as yours, which even Father didn't know about?"
"Haha, so you knew all along." Fu Li laughed until tears streamed down her face. "Yes, I hate you, I despise you! You're the one who came out of my belly, yet you look exactly like that person! She's clearly dead, I killed her with my own hands, how could she still appear!"
Lu Qingyan could guess from just this one sentence that it was related to a past love affair with Imperial Censor Fu.
Fu Li was deeply concerned about that person; her appearance was a nightmare for her. Because the living can never compare to the dead.
"Yes, why did you give me this appearance?" Lu Qingyan said quietly.
“It must be you, you are the reincarnation of that slut!” Fu Lishi affirmed.
