Chapter 119: Chapter 119: What Are You Arguing About Here?

“She wants to gain a good name by doing charity, to win the Emperor and Empress’s favor, but she lacks the capability.” Mrs. Chen sneered, “She truly wants to gain fame without spending money and drags us down with her. Every time, we haven’t spared any resources, yet all the benefits go to her alone. We have been merely making wedding clothes for her.”

Mrs. Chen sneered, “I am not so altruistic. Since we’ve already spent money to handle it, why shouldn’t we get some benefit ourselves?”

“Since you’ve come to tell me about this, I won’t treat you as an outsider and will share my true thoughts with you.” Mrs. Chen said, “I cannot tolerate others scheming against me like this.”

“If it weren’t for Miss Fu’s help before in the court, we would have been at the mercy of Lin Qingqing and unable to say ’no’.” Mrs. Chen said, “For this alone, I am grateful to Miss Fu.”

“Because Lin Qingqing’s scheme could never have reached Miss Fu. She completely didn’t have to say what she did.”

“But she said it, perhaps because of some discord with Lin Qingqing, but she certainly helped us.” Mrs. Chen said, “Even if it’s not about Lin Qingqing, I would have gone this time. Moreover, since it involves Lin Qingqing, I must lend a hand.”

“Lin Qingqing, because of her previous tactics, has offended quite a few people.” Mrs. Zheng said, “I have the same concern as you, worried that too many people might leak the news. It’s just right that a few of us go.”

“As for others, naturally they are willing to help spread the news together.”

They didn’t know how Fu Shinian planned to deal with Lin Qingqing, but they were sure it would surely disgrace Lin Qingqing.

But currently, apart from the Fu family and Marquis Changping’s residence, no one knew about Lin Qingqing and Xiao Fengxing.

The Fu family, where Fu Shinian found Fu Mingzhu, relayed the message from Xiao Chengyu.

“The day after tomorrow, will you be going personally?” Fu Shinian said, “If you don’t want to see those two scoundrels, leave it to mother and me, this time we guarantee to ruin Lin Qingqing.”

“There’s nothing unwilling about it.” Fu Mingzhu said, “I’ve long moved on, I don’t care about those two anymore.”

“Since they schemed against me, I won’t let them have it easy either.” Fu Mingzhu said, “I know, if I’m present the day after tomorrow, it will certainly achieve twice the result with half the effort.”

“Therefore, I will go.”

“Alright.” Fu Shinian nodded, “If you feel uneasy, tell me at any time, no need to make yourself uncomfortable for those lowlifes.”

Fu Mingzhu smiled, holding Fu Shinian’s hand, “Shinian, I am the elder sister, but it seems you are always the one protecting me, looking out for my feelings.”

“I was always protected at home, now that there’s something I can stand up for, I naturally won’t decline.”

Fu Mingzhu smiled and said, “Alright, but I’m not that fragile, don’t worry.”

Fu Shinian nodded, “Big sister is naturally very impressive.”

The day Lin Qingqing and Xiao Fengxing arranged to meet at the back of Law Temple, Madam Fu prepared everything meticulously and took Fu Mingzhu and Fu Shinian to Law Temple.

Old Madam Xiao also brought Xiao Yingyue along.

Zheng Sulan followed Mrs. Zheng, and Li Zhaohui followed Mrs. Li, along with Mrs. Chen who also brought her daughter.

Other girls who had a good relationship with Li Zhaohui and Zheng Sulan also invited their mothers to join them at Law Temple.

They didn’t know it was related to Lin Qingqing.

Li Zhaohui and Zheng Sulan concocted a good excuse.

With the spring examinations approaching, they planned to visit Law Temple to pray for blessings, hoping their brothers and younger brothers participating in the exams would succeed and make the list.

Who doesn’t have a son or two taking the exams?

Upon hearing this reason, they naturally didn’t think elsewhere and agreed to go.

Madam Fu, along with Fu Shinian and Fu Mingzhu, also prayed for Fu Changqin.

She even got him a string of blessed prayer beads.

Jing Lai came over and whispered, “Madam, Miss Fu, Miss Mingzhu, it’s time to go to the back mountain.”

Madam Fu smiled and said, “It’s rare to have such good weather today. The day before yesterday, the capital was very cold, and it’s been hard to wait for the warm spring, let’s stroll out the back?”

“Sure, before it was cold, and I didn’t like to go out.” Mrs. Zheng immediately responded, “Now there seems to be some blooms on the mountain, it’s a good omen.”

Mrs. Li smiled and said, “I heard there’s a hundred-year-old gingko tree behind Law Temple, don’t know if its leaves have sprouted. It’s said if you pray and hang your wish on it, it’s very effective.”

Fu Shinian didn’t know if this saying was true, but hearing this, everyone expressed a desire to go take a look.

Thus, everyone got prayer ribbons and headed to the back of Law Temple together.

“Huh? Old Madam, isn’t that Chang Tai?” Nanny Wang pointed out, noting that Chang Tai seemed to be arguing with someone outside the temple’s wing rooms.

“Chang Tai is always following the second young master, so is the second young master here too?” Nanny Wang said.

Hearing Nanny Wang’s words, those in the know, like Mrs. Zheng, were shocked and gasped.

They had only guessed that Fu Shinian was going to catch Lin Qingqing’s mistake, but never expected the mistake to involve Xiao Fengxing!

If it involves Xiao Fengxing…

Everyone’s gaze couldn’t help but fall on Fu Mingzhu.

Old Madam Xiao seemed not to notice, holding the hand of the Zhao Master’s wife, said, “You’ve never met, have you? I mentioned to you before, Chengyu’s younger brother, taking the exams this year.”

“Since we’ve met, let him greet you.” Old Madam Xiao said.

Everyone looked, it seemed the rumors these days that Old Madam Xiao wanted to arrange a marriage for Xiao Fengxing were true.

But did Old Madam Xiao know about today’s plan?

But seeing Old Madam Xiao’s reaction, it indeed did not seem like she knew.

At this moment, she was still delighted, pulling Old Madam Dong’s hand towards Chang Tai.

The crowd was eager to watch the drama, and seeing that Old Madam didn’t stop them, naturally followed closely.

Nanny Wang rushed ahead, fearing Chang Tai would injure the old madam during his argument, “Chang Tai, what are you arguing about here.”

Chang Tai froze, turning to see the old madam coming over with many ladies and girls.

“Old… Old Madam.” Chang Tai called.

He was guarding outside for Xiao Fengxing and Lin Qingqing.

Unexpectedly, this person suddenly bumped into him.

After walking a few steps, suddenly turned back, claiming his purse was missing, demanding Chang Tai to return it.

He hadn’t even touched it and was sure this person was trying to frame him, which led to the argument, only to encounter the old madam.

“Isn’t that Liu Yue? Lin Qingqing’s maid.” Zheng Sulan suddenly spoke, “Liu Yue, what are you doing here?”
