Chapter 127 Are You Here to Pick a Husband?
"Miss, it's Miss Fang!"
Xiao Tao saw the girl running towards her and said to Fu Zhaoning in surprise.
Miss Fang?
Fu Zhaoning was a little confused at first, but only after seeing the girl did he dig it out from his memory.
Isn't this the person she used as a shield when she found a fake identity for Zhong Jian?
Fu Zhaoning's only friend before was Fang Shiqing, the daughter of Fang Dafu, a wealthy landlord in the suburbs.
She lied to Old Master Fu and said that Zhong Jian was the servant lent to her by Fang Shiqing, the same Fang Shiqing.
Fu Zhaoning didn't expect to meet her here.
Fang Shiqing was of average appearance, and could be considered a pretty lady. The Fang family was wealthy, so her clothes were always gorgeous, and her hair was covered with jewelry, making her look very noble.
In fact, such gorgeousness is somewhat incompatible with her own delicate appearance, so Fang Shiqing's friends are a little disliked by her taste and make sarcastic remarks about her from time to time.
At that time, only Fu Zhaoning really said to her with envy, "Can being rich be a bad thing? If the Fu family is rich, I will also wear gold and silver to show off. Anyway, I am happy and I am happy, so what's wrong with that?"
Because of this, Fang Shiqing really regarded Fu Zhaoning as a good friend.
She ran to Fu Zhaoning, reached out and held Fu Zhaoning's hand, and shouted excitedly.
"Zhao Ning, is it really you? I thought I was seeing things just now!"
Fu Zhaoning seems to be different from before. In the past, Fu Zhaoning always lowered her head and shrunk her neck when she was around a lot of people, as if she was afraid that others would pay too much attention to her. But now Fu Zhaoning stands straight and doesn't care about others at all.
"Shiqing..."
Fu Zhaoning was still a little uncomfortable with calling her name.
But Fang Shiqing hadn't seen her for a long time, so she ignored her unfamiliarity and asked anxiously, shaking her hand.
"Before, you said you would not leave the city, and that you would try your best to persuade Prince Xiao to marry you. You also said that if you failed, you would not look for me for the time being, and when we met, you would ask me to attend the wedding banquet."
Uh, is this even happening?
Fu Zhaoning felt a little ashamed, so when Miss Fu got married, Fang Shiqing was not invited at all.
At that time, people from Prince Xiao's mansion said that the girl's family did not have any relatives or friends who were presentable, so she should not invite any of them.
"I've been waiting!"
Fang Shiqing held her hand and kept talking, "My father has been keeping me under control recently. He hired a female teacher to teach me some etiquette and rules. I can't enter the city either. We haven't seen each other for a long time!"
Xiao Tao looked at Fu Zhaoning and opened her mouth.
Wasn’t Brother Zhong Jian sent by the Fang family?
"I didn't marry Xiao Yanjing." Fu Zhaoning said.
Fang Shiqing exclaimed, "You haven't gotten married yet? Why is Prince Xiao like this? Didn't he already have an engagement with you? Why hasn't he agreed to marry you? What about your grandfather? You mentioned your grandfather's health before."
Fu Zhaoning saw that Fang Shiqing's concern for him did not seem fake, so he said, "Grandfather has been taking medicine and is in much better shape recently. It's okay."
"Really? That's great!"
Fang Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief and looked genuinely happy.
"Shiqing, who is this?"
Several young men and girls came towards them.
They should all be staying at the mountain-viewing villa. Eating roasted lamb is also a part of the villa's program, and it's a good opportunity for everyone to chat and laugh together.
Everyone was dressed up carefully, and Fu Zhaoning's plain cloth skirt seemed to be the simplest and most inconspicuous one in the whole venue.
The girl who was talking to Fang Shiqing just now glanced at Fu Zhaoning with a look of disgust.
"This is my good friend Fu Zhaoning."
The smile on Fang Shiqing's face obviously faded a little.
"Ah?" The girl showed an exaggerated expression and raised her voice, "No way? Could it be that Miss Fu who chases after Master Xiao every day?"
Her friends all laughed.
"That should be it. Apart from Miss Fu, who else is so shameless? She doesn't even consider her own status and position and forces Prince Xiao to fulfill the engagement that he made as a joke."
"That's right. I've also heard of the Fu family. They are just a chicken with feathers all over the ground, yet they still dream of flying up to the tree and becoming a phoenix?"
As soon as these people arrived, they started to laugh at Fu Zhaoning without any hesitation.
Chen Shan and Xiao Tao were so angry that their faces changed.
Mr. Sun wanted to speak but couldn't get a word in.
"Ladies and gentlemen, that..."
"Just now I heard that Master Xiao didn't agree to the marriage?" The girl laughed again and looked Fu Zhaoning up and down. "Could it be that you were rejected by Master Xiao and you were so sad that you wanted to come here to pick a new husband?"
"Zhao Ru, don't go too far!" Fang Shiqing yelled at the girl angrily.
"I'm overdoing it?"
Fu Zhaoning smiled and was not angry.
"I came here to pick a new husband, so did Miss Zhao come here earlier than me? Did she pick a husband?"
"Who, who is here to pick a husband?" Zhao Ru was immediately ashamed and angry. If she said so openly that she was here to find a husband, her reputation would be very bad!
"Didn't you say that? You came here to pick a husband."
Fu Zhaoning looked at the three young men standing next to her, "Miss Zhao didn't pick three husbands at once, did she?"
These three people kept agreeing with what Zhao Ru said when she was talking about her just now.
"Fu Zhaoning, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhao Ru was so angry that she rushed towards her, "I'll tear your mouth apart and stop you from talking nonsense!"
She reached out and grabbed Fu Zhaoning's face.
If word got out that she had chosen three husbands, wouldn't her reputation be ruined? People would think she was so shameless!
Fu Zhaoning quickly grabbed her wrist and pushed her out.
Zhao Ru fell to the ground, her palms bruised and bleeding.
Everyone looked over here. She instantly felt that she had lost all her face. She was angry and resentful. She climbed up again, pointed at Fu Zhaoning and shouted, "Tear her mouth off for me! How dare you push me? I will never let you go today!"
The three young masters rolled up their sleeves and surrounded Fu Zhaoning.
"If you know what's best for you, kneel down and kowtow to Miss Zhao to apologize, otherwise we will throw you into the back hills!"
"Don't go too far!"
Fang Shiqing immediately opened her arms and stood in front of Fu Zhaoning, staring at these people.
It was obviously Zhao Ru who talked nonsense and had to come and provoke Fu Zhaoning. Why is she turning the tables now?
"Gentlemen and ladies, please stop making trouble, please do it for my sake."
Master Sun also hurried over to stop him.
"Your face? Mr. Sun, how much is your face worth? You'd better get out of the way, or I'll beat you up too!"
"Who dares to take action?" Chen Shan's tall and strong body also blocked Xiaotao and Fu Zhaoning.
