Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Xiao Chengyu’s Face Suddenly Appeared in My Mind

Fu Shinian: “…”

What’s with Xiao Chengyu.

Luckily, she didn’t like him.

If she really liked him, he just rejected her, and now he remembers her preferences, even specially sending Fu Changqin home just so he could bring her freshly made osmanthus cake.

Wouldn’t that make her heart flutter for him, impossible to forget him?

Fu Shinian thought to herself, feeling a bit strange for some reason.

She couldn’t say what the feeling was, just that it felt a bit soft and a bit empty, as if she couldn’t let go of something.

Out of nowhere, Xiao Chengyu’s face appeared in her mind.

“You’re here just in time, try it while it’s hot.” Fu Changqin was full of Xiao Chengyu’s instructions, “I’ll be going to the Marquis’ residence tomorrow, and Marquis Changping will surely ask about it.”

Fu Shinian: “…”

Fu Changqin said as he opened the food box, taking out a piece of osmanthus cake and stuffing it into Fu Shinian’s hand.

Fu Shinian: “…”

The sweet and clear aroma of osmanthus cake reached Fu Shinian’s nose, truly making her crave it.

Taking a bite, it was soft and sticky yet refreshing, along with the sweet aroma of osmanthus, spreading between her lips and teeth, “Indeed, the ones from the Marquis’ residence are the best, perfectly soft; even the Taste Building can’t make this texture.”

As Fu Shinian spoke, she pinched it a few times, finding it very springy.

“Mother, you should try too.” Fu Shinian said.

With Fu Shinian’s words, Madam Fu got curious and took a piece to eat.

“It’s indeed delicious.” Madam Fu said, “Ting Qin, bring some for Aunt Cheng and Mingzhu to try.”

“Madam, we’ve come over.” Aunt Cheng said with a smile.

Upon looking, it was indeed Aunt Cheng and Fu Mingzhu coming together.

And so, a box of osmanthus cake was quickly finished.

Fu Shinian then asked, “However, the Marquis gave too much.”

“By the way, you were talking about something.” Madam Fu remembered, “You mentioned meeting Lin Qingqing at the Marquis’ gate?”

These words made Fu Shinian instantly forget about the second box of osmanthus cake, not caring if it was cold, grabbing a piece, eating while listening to Fu Changqin.

“Oh, right.” Fu Changqin sat down, took the tea brought over by the book artist, and pinched a piece of osmanthus cake, just wanting to take a bite first.

He hadn’t eaten yet; the hot ones had been shared by Madam Fu and the others.

Who knew, just as he opened his mouth, he would see Madam Fu’s urging gaze.

Fu Changqin had to take back his hand holding the osmanthus cake and said first, “Lin Qingqing, I don’t know what’s wrong with her, stopped me to give me kneepads, saying she gave them to the scholars of the Imperial College, saw me, and conveniently gave me some too.”

“That Lin Qingqing really doesn’t understand propriety, a girl, how can she casually give things to men, and even give to many at once.” Fu Changqin shook his head, “I see, Xiao Fengxing probably has a green field above his head.”

“How can you speak so inappropriately in front of the sisters?” Madam Fu scolded.

Fu Changqin paused, hurriedly said, “I spoke too fast, overlooked for a moment. Sisters must forget what I just said.”

Fu Shinian took a sip of tea, smiling warmly, “It’s fine, we don’t know nothing.”

“Brother, have some tea first.” Fu Shinian said, “And try the osmanthus cake.”

Fu Changqin nodded, Shinian knew how to care for people.

He took a bite of the osmanthus cake, indeed, the ones made by the Marquis’ residence were delicious.

Even when cold, they tasted good.

“I wonder what Lin Qingqing is up to.” Fu Changqin said.

“Did you accept it? The kneepads.” Madam Fu asked.

“Of course, I couldn’t accept them.” Fu Changqin said, “I’m hoping to pass the exams, have Mother help me a good marriage proposal, how can I casually accept things from a girl. Besides, the things I need for my studies, Mother and sisters will think about that for me, why would I need an outsider.”

“I just don’t know what Lin Qingqing is up to.”

Madam Fu was very surprised, seemed Fu Changqin learned well at the Marquis’ residence, became much smarter.

“Doesn’t matter what she’s thinking, as long as we don’t take the bait, it doesn’t matter what she plans.” Madam Fu said.

But Fu Shinian pondered, could Lin Qingqing be aiming for Fu Changqin?

In her dreams, Lin Qingqing captured Fu Changqin’s heart, making him devoted to her.

Later, when he knew Lin Qingqing had feelings for Xiao Fengxing, Fu Changqin still didn’t change his heart, willingly dedicating himself for Lin Qingqing.

Ultimately dying to save Lin Qingqing.

Fu Shinian shivered at this, turned to ask Fu Changqin, “Brother, what do you think of Lin Qingqing?”

“Naturally not good.” Fu Changqin said, “I don’t even know her, yet she stops me to give kneepads, truly improper. And, she has an affair with Xiao Fengxing, let alone that, even when Mingzhu and Xiao Fengxing had a match. Knowing Xiao Fengxing had a fiancée, she still did this, this woman really has no sense of shame.”

“Her kneepads, she even made many, to give to many men. Among those men, some would inevitably misunderstand she likes them. I don’t believe she doesn’t know this, clearly intentional.”

“And this person seems like a spendthrift. During the new year, just because of one word from her, Mrs. Lin had to sew a hundred pairs of cotton shoes at home. The Lin family wasn’t wealthy, this only made matters worse. Not contributing to the family is one thing, but being wasteful?”

“Look at you and Mingzhu, how much honor you’ve brought to our family, then look at her.” Fu Changqin scoffed, shook his head, “Not about bringing honor, just not dragging the family down is good.”

“You ask what I think of her?” Fu Changqin questioned, “I think she’s really not a good person.”

Fu Shinian exhaled a long sigh of relief.

In her dreams, she didn’t know Lin Qingqing’s matters, kept in the dark.

In reality, before these dreams, she knew nothing, agreed to nothing, just happily being her family’s apple of the eye.

Without these dreams, she would have muddled through like in the dream, until the downfall arrived.

Fortunately now, she let the family know Lin Qingqing’s true face early.

Now, Fu Changqin shouldn’t be fooled by Lin Qingqing, right?

Anyway, looking at Fu Changqin’s attitude towards Lin Qingqing now, it’s very annoyed.

[Ding! Lin Qingqing’s luck value -10, the Fu family’s luck value +10]

The reminder of luck value changes suddenly appeared in her mind, Lin Qingqing’s luck value suddenly decreased, Fu Shinian finally felt at ease.

It must be that Fu Changqin is truly very annoyed with Lin Qingqing, causing Lin Qingqing now unable to make Fu Changqin act beneath her skirt, so her luck value dropped.
