Chapter 327 I’m glad I didn’t marry him
At this time, Fu Zhaoning walked to the door, stamped the snow off his shoes, patted his clothes, and heard what he said, "Grandpa, you really don't know that the bad reputation has already spread."
"Has it spread?" Old Master Fu was stunned.
"Yes, Fu Jiaojiao said outside that I stole her chicken legs and ate them, and also stole a lot of eggs. As a result, their family had only white porridge with a little pickled cabbage and a little soup on New Year's Eve."
Fu Zhaoning also remembered something.
When those families were here before, every day was really a chaos.
Moreover, Fu Zhaoning's reputation had been ruined by them long ago, otherwise why would no other family want to propose to her?
After all, with her looks, even if the Fu family is poor, there will definitely be many people who like her.
Before her engagement with Prince Xiao was announced, no one came to propose marriage. Wasn't it because those families had spread a bad reputation about her?
They said she was lazy and good at nothing, and that she stole things at home and often snatched food from her younger brothers and sisters.
"There is something even more outrageous. It is said that the Third Madam seduced the Second and Third Masters." Fu Zhaoning came in and picked up a cup of tea to drink.
"What?" Old Master Fu was shocked and furious. "She is so vicious?"
Mrs. Xie was also shocked. "Such words can destroy you at any time! How dare she?"
Fu Zhaoning nodded, "Yes, she dared to do that. Because her man really looked at me with malicious eyes."
"Beast!" Old Master Fu slammed the table, his face turning red with anger.
"Grandfather, it's all in the past. Although I was angry before, I wasn't really so sad that I couldn't live."
Fu Zhaoning quickly comforted the old man.
She said all this in the hope that the old man would be a little harder-hearted, so that no relatives would come to visit during the time she was away, and he would be soft-hearted and take them in.
"Yes, old man, fortunately our Zhaoning doesn't take these things to heart." Xie felt sorry for Fu Zhaoning. She didn't know how much this child had endured in the past to develop such a fearless character now.
"Zhao Ning, it's all Grandpa's fault. Grandpa always wanted to have more people at home, to have someone to rely on and to make it more lively, but he didn't think about whether they were good people. In the past, Grandpa didn't go out often to listen to how they slandered and bullied you."
Old Master Fu's eyes turned red and his voice choked with sobs.
"Grandfather, how can I blame you for this? You are sick, and you don't want to do this." Fu Zhaoning held his hand, "But, Grandfather, if you feel sorry for me, you have to take good care of yourself and do what I tell you every day."
"Eat well, sleep well, exercise appropriately, and don't worry." Old Master Fu recited the words she always said.
With tears in her eyes, she smiled and said, "I'll remember. I'll definitely listen to you."
Xie also laughed.
"Don't worry, I will help you look after the old man."
"That's good. Aunt Xie, the same goes for you. Health is the most important thing. Don't stay up late embroidering anymore. I know you always want to do more to help support the family, but don't waste your time."
"Yes, yes, I'll listen to you too." Xie quickly nodded in response.
After they talked for a while, Old Master Fu suddenly coughed.
"Um, Zhaoning, who is that? Will he go to the palace for the New Year or stay alone in the palace?"
"Who then?"
Fu Zhaoning didn't react for a moment.
"Ahem." Old Master Fu's expression was not so natural.
Fu Zhaoning finally reacted, "Xiao Lanyuan? He should be alone in the palace. He won't be in the palace for the New Year."
Mrs. Xie was also a little curious. "I heard that the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress are not very kind to him. They are all on guard against him, right?"
She originally dared to discuss the affairs of the royal family, but now that she has lived with Fu Zhaoning for a while, and because Xiao Lanyuan is Fu Zhaoning's husband, she still cares a little and has long been unable to resist asking.
"His identity is a bit special, which is indeed easy to cause taboos. The emperor is not a broad-minded person." Fu Zhaoning said, "Besides, he was poisoned when he was so young, so his life must have been difficult."
Hearing this, Xie felt sorry for Prince Jun.
"Prince Jun used to live alone in Youqing Peak. He has lived like this for so many years. Isn't he lonely and helpless?"
"What do you mean he's lonely and helpless? He's very rich." said Fu Zhaoning.
"At a time like this, what good is money? I heard that he is not in good health and can't eat much, right?"
"Who told you that?" Fu Zhaoning was a little curious.
"Zhong Jian."
Fu Zhaoning suddenly felt that Zhong Jian’s role in the Fu family was not just to protect them. Could he have come with some other mission?
Look, this makes Aunt Xie feel sorry for Xiao Lanyuan.
"So, you say people, you only have a few pieces of clothes to wear, and you can't eat much. Even if you are a prince, what's the use of having money? Aren't you alone guarding the huge palace during the New Year? You don't know what to do."
Xie sighed.
"Zhao Ning, you should go to the palace today. I've been eating a lot of fish and meat for two days on New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year. I want to eat some vegetables and porridge today to ease my stomach." Old Master Fu said, "If you were here, Aunt Zhong and the others would have to prepare a large table of dishes again."
"ah?"
After leaving home and getting on the carriage on the way to Prince Jun's Mansion, Fu Zhaoning couldn't help laughing.
I don’t know what Zhong Jian has said to my grandfather these days.
Grandfather actually felt sorry for Xiao Lanyuan? This was a disguised way of asking her to accompany Xiao Lanyuan.
This transformation is too strange.
As soon as Fu Zhaoning left, Xie smiled at Old Master Fu and said, "Old Master, you are not going to stop Zhaoning and Prince Jun from being together?"
"well."
Old Master Fu let out a long sigh.
"I am worried, but you haven't seen Zhaoning these days. His spirit and the light in his eyes are different from before."
He didn't want to admit it, but the current Fu Zhaoning was really different from the previous Fu Zhaoning.
"When Zhao Ning and Xiao Yanjing were engaged, she always chased after Xiao Yanjing and tried to force him to get married, but I could see that she was never happy when she mentioned that boy. Instead, she was always uneasy and worried. She always asked me, Grandfather, what should I do to make Prince Xiao agree to marry me?"
"Prince Xiao is really not a good person."
Xie couldn't help but curse.
"Isn't it? It didn't seem like Zhao Ning liked Xiao Yanjing that much before. She just wanted to make me feel at ease. If she really wanted to marry Xiao Yanjing, how would the people in Prince Xiao's Mansion hurt her now?"
"The whole capital is talking about the scandals of Prince Xiao's mansion every other day. The Xiao prince and his wife, with the involvement of Doctor Li, are quarreling with each other every day." Xie also sighed, "I'm so glad that Zhaoning didn't marry into the family."
