At this moment, Madam Fu Li hid behind Fu Zige and remained silent, and Granny Xu did not notice anything unusual. She simply assumed that Fu Zige was being silly and wanted her to release Madam Fu quickly.
Fu Zige shook off Xu Mama's grip on her sleeve: "Xu Mama, go then. I should also have a good talk with my father about how you, this lowly servant, have been abusing my mother."
“Young Miss, this old servant has nothing to fear, as I have nothing to be afraid of.” Just as Xu Mama finished speaking, Fu Li Shi, who was behind Fu Zige, ran out with a giggle and reached out to push Xu Mama, clapping her hands and laughing loudly, “Fatty, fall down, fall down!”
When Xu Mama saw Fu Li's condition, her heart skipped a beat: Could it be that the madam has really gone mad this time, and is not pretending?
"Granny Xu, I will remember everything you've done. I will make sure Father punishes you severely." A ruthless glint flashed in Fu Zige's eyes. She wanted this old hag dead.
"What do you want me to punish Granny Xu for?" Fu Jingzhi's voice came from outside, startling Fu Zige.
When Lu Qingyan left Linglong Pavilion, she instructed Xique to keep an eye on Fu Zige and to go to Imperial Censor Fu if Fu Zige made any unusual moves.
Magpie, with her sharp eyes and constant monitoring of Fu Zige, knew what had happened the moment she left Linglong Pavilion. She didn't foolishly accuse Fu Zige of secretly visiting Fu Li Shi against his wishes when she ran to find Imperial Censor Fu. Instead, she said, "Master, I accidentally saw the eldest young lady sneaking out of Linglong Pavilion just now, without anyone with her. I don't know what she's up to, but I think I should tell you, just in case something happens to her in her own courtyard."
The magpie didn't mention Fu Li Shi at all, but she was the first person Fu Jingzhi thought of.
Fu Jingzhi thought bitterly, it seems that even if that woman is locked in the courtyard, she still won't behave. He already said that she would only be allowed to reflect for a few days before her confinement was lifted, couldn't she just stay quietly in her own courtyard for a few days?
"Where is Ziwu?" Even now, Fu Jingzhi didn't forget to ask where Lu Qingyan was, just in case his daughter had secretly gone to see her mother.
"Master, Miss is exhausted these past two days and is taking a nap right now." Indeed, she was just staying in the courtyard when she insisted on checking the dowry with those servants. Her hands, which are usually untouched by worldly affairs, haven't stopped moving around these past two days.
The magpie's answer was innocent, but Fu Jingzhi still blushed. He coughed lightly, his fist to his mouth, and instructed, "Go tell Ziwu that although she and the prince are newly married, they should be more restrained. That kind of thing, cough, too often isn't good for her health."
The magpie blinked in confusion, then remembered what Fu Jingzhi had said.
“Go and call her over, let’s go to the Begonia Courtyard together. I’ll go see if Zige is there. She—she should also go see her mother, it seems they haven’t seen each other for a long time.”
The magpie responded and then left.
Fu Jingzhi glanced at his two sons-in-law locked in a fierce battle on the chessboard and said, "Something came up at home, so please excuse me."
Shangguan Li remained silent, tacitly agreeing with Fu Jingzhi's actions. Shangguan Ren, however, smiled and nodded at Fu Jingzhi: "Father-in-law, you are too kind. I feel right at home here. There is no need for you to be so reserved. Father-in-law, you need not be so polite either."
