The conversation between Fu Rongxin and Fu Wei went very smoothly. The Fu family was now hoping for someone to help them, but they didn't expect that their adopted daughter could actually marry Prince Cheng.
Although Prince Sheng is not as powerful as before, he is still a prince after all. With his protection, the Fu family will be able to survive the crisis. By then, he can take in a few young concubines and have a few sons, and then their Fu family will still have hope.
Fu Rongxin didn't think so. She still remembered the cold attitude of the Fu family when she was imprisoned. No one wanted to rescue her. Now they wanted to keep her and host a banquet for her. It was such a grand ceremony.
Treat her like a chess piece to be summoned and dismissed at will? Don't you even know what you are? When the time comes, use them to counterattack Prince Gong. When His Royal Highness Prince Sheng recovers, that will be their death.
When Fu Rongxin came out of Fu Wei's study, her expression under the veil was extremely cold. Fu Wei wanted to meet Prince Cheng, and once she conveyed this news to His Highness, her mission would be completed.
But suddenly, the veil was lifted unexpectedly.
The woman in front of Fu Rongxin was dressed much more simply than before, with all her elaborate jewelry. However, her face was still full of arrogance and domineering. It was Fu Jiamin.
Seeing Fu Rongxin's face, Fu Jiamin was so shocked that she couldn't speak: "You...how are you still alive? Didn't you die a long time ago?"
Fu Rongxin glanced at the frightened little maidservant beside Fu Jiamin, who was the one who had just waited with her, and immediately understood what was going on.
She couldn't help but sneer: "Don't worry, even if I die, I won't die before you."
Looking at Fu Rongxin's face, she didn't look like she had suffered at all. She was still as fair and slender as before, and even between her eyes and eyebrows, there was a bit of charm that she didn't have before... Fu Jiamin had been jealous of her before, and she felt extremely happy to know that she had died in disgrace. But now she saw Fu Rongxin coming back in such a radiant state, how could she not hate her?
Fu Rongxin smiled softly, "Third sister, please take care of yourself. After the incident at the Fu family, because we couldn't give the eldest sister enough dowry, she must be having a hard time in her husband's family now. Third sister is also of marriageable age. With the Fu family's current status, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to find a poor scholar. If she wastes her time because of this, what will she do?"
"That's not your turn to say!" Fu Jiamin screamed angrily, "You're a death row inmate, and you didn't die quietly, but you dared to come back and show off your power? Believe it or not, I'll report you to the government and make you die again!"
As she spoke, she was about to raise her hand to slap Fu Rongxin, but Fu Rongxin grabbed her hand and said, "Third sister, calm down. Whether the Fu family's status can be revived now depends entirely on me. I am the guest that father is going to host a banquet for. If you dare to tell on me, do you believe that father will skin you alive?"
Fu Rongxin's cold and smiling eyes made Fu Jiamin's heart tremble for no reason. She gritted her teeth and said, "What a big tone! I wonder if you have climbed up some high-ranking branch?"
Fu Rongxin just shook her hand off and slowly held her temples, nonchalantly and with a hint of boasting: "If you knew who my backer was, you would also think I'm lucky."
"..."Fu Jiamin suddenly felt a sour sensation in the roots of his teeth and a chill ran through his body.
She spat, "What are you so proud of? If you have the guts, go show off in front of Xue Zhiyi."
When Fu Rongxin heard Xue Zhiyi's name, her brows furrowed as if she had eaten a fly.
"No, no, no, I have to be called Jiang Wan now. I was taken away by mistake when I was little, and I've had enough of the blessings of a lady from an official family in the Shangshu Mansion. Then, in the blink of an eye, I found out that my own brother is the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple. Now, I'm going to marry the Marquis of Lin'an and will soon be the Marquis's wife. This is what we call endless wealth and glory. I can't enjoy it all!"
Fu Jiamin was also jealous of Xue Zhiyi, but she wanted to see Fu Rongxin's frustrated look even more. Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Fu Rongxin's expression changed.
Fu Rongxin couldn't help but laugh. She had heard that Xue Zhiyi's true identity was Jiang Wan, but so what? The Jiang family had no roots in Huajing, and who knew when it would collapse. But she had never imagined that Xue Zhiyi would marry Huo Wuyou instead of Gu Shichong... Was Xue Zhiyi crazy? Did he think that if she, Fu Rongxin, died, he could rest easy for the rest of his life?
Fu Rongxin's eyes turned red, and her nails dug into her palms unconsciously: How is she inferior to Xue Zhiyi! She hated why she had to hide and wander around, while Xue Zhiyi could live such a clean and decent life, and even get married to someone he loved?
Xue Zhiyi was dreaming! When she and Prince Cheng returned to Huajing together and seized the throne, what would Xue Zhiyi's expression be like when he discovered that she was not only still alive, but had fulfilled her destiny as a phoenix and become the most noble woman in the world? He would probably go crazy!
By then, she would definitely make Xue Zhiyi die! She wanted to make Xue Zhiyi understand that thinking he had changed his and Huo Wuyou's fate was ultimately in vain, and they would both still end up in the same tragic death as in their previous lives! Only she, the one with the Phoenix's destiny, would spread her wings and fly high after Nirvana!
Seeing Fu Rongxin's angry and embarrassed look, Fu Jiamin was finally satisfied. She made a few sarcastic remarks, but Fu Rongxin stared at her with red eyes and ignored her. Fu Jiamin felt bored and left.
The Fu family prepared a banquet with great care and prepared to entertain Fu Rongxin well. She was also taken to the courtyard where she used to live. Most of the furnishings in the courtyard had been sold off, and now it was clear that the house was bare.
The maid served her tea and then left.
In the evening, dusk fell and the room was a little dark. Fu Rongxin waited for a long time but the banquet did not start. Somehow, she suddenly felt sleepy and fell asleep leaning against the table.
Here, she dreamed of many childhood memories.
