After rebirth, my elder sister wants to steal my husband!

Chapter 231 The truth of the matter

When Fu Yuzhang woke up, the morning light was already dim outside the window. Lu Zhiran was still immersed in her dreams. Her face was calm and peaceful, like a flower bud about to bloom, quietly waiting for the sunlight to shine.

He gently lifted the quilt, sat up, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Lu Zhiran's face.

Her eyebrows were as dark as distant mountains, her eyes were as affectionate as autumn water, her skin was as white as jade, her red lips were slightly closed, and her breathing was even and long.

Fu Yuzhang felt that every ounce of her was full of charm, which made him intoxicated.

Fu Yuzhang found Lu Zhiran's face as she slept peacefully so adorable just by looking at it.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a sudden knock on the door, followed by Zixiang's voice: "Madam, it's time to pay respects to the old lady."

Fu Yuzhang was startled by Zixiang's voice outside the door. He looked at Lu Zhiran, who had not yet woken up even after such a noise.

Look at the faint dark circles under her eyes.

I felt a pang of heartache.

Fu Yuzhang frowned slightly, feeling unhappy.

He stood up, put on his clothes, walked out the door, and said to Zixiang, "I'll go to your grandmother's place. Your wife was tired yesterday, so let her have a good rest. Don't bother her with such a small matter."

Zixiang was shocked and lowered her head to answer "yes". She didn't dare to ask any more questions. Looking at Fu Yuzhang's serious expression staring at her, she had to turn around and leave.

After Zixiang left.

Fu Yuzhang returned to the room, sat beside the bed, and looked at Lu Zhiran quietly.

Her sleeping face was so peaceful, as if the whole world had quieted down.

A tender feeling welled up in his heart, and he gently reached out his hand, wanting to touch her face.

However, his hand stopped halfway.

He was afraid that his actions would disturb her sweet dream and break this moment of peace and beauty.

He withdrew his hand and instead gently tucked the corner of the quilt to ensure that she would not be disturbed by the cold.

"Ran'er, I'll be back in a while."

He murmured in a low voice, as if it was a promise to her and a vow to himself.

He stood up, straightened his clothes, and prepared to go to Madam Fu's residence to pay his respects.

Speaking of which, since I have been studying seriously with the teacher these days, I haven’t had a good chat with my grandmother for some time.

Fu Yuzhang walked out of the room, leaving Lu Zhiran alone sleeping on the bed.

The sunlight shone through the window onto her, covering her with a layer of golden glow.

Fu Yuzhang was extremely familiar with going to Mrs. Fu's Shou'an Hall.

Therefore, Fu Yuzhang arrived very quickly.

When he walked into the old lady's residence, he saw that the old lady was already sitting in the hall, sipping tea, as if waiting for Lu Zhiran's arrival.

Before Fu Yuzhang walked in, he saw his grandmother speaking to Nanny Fang beside her.

"Speaking of which, the things I have entrusted to Zhiran to do have always been reassuring. The day before yesterday, she was asked to stop Yuzhang from studying, and yesterday she took her friends to go play again!"

"This kid, you don't need to worry so much. He got himself drunk yesterday. Sigh... Such a well-behaved child must be embarrassed to be drunk like this. It's really heartbreaking!"

Fu Yuzhang's steps to go in stopped instantly.

He knew all the words his grandmother said, so how did he put them together?

He was a little confused.

So, yesterday Lu Zhiran took him out for drinks and to the casino, which was unusual for him, all in order to stop him from studying.

But what is this for?

Why did grandma do that?

Nanny Fang smiled and said, "Young Madam, you did a very good job, which is why the old lady came to propose marriage in person."

After Mrs. Fu finished her sigh, she thought of her poor grandson and sighed again: "I just feel sorry for my Yu Zhang. I heard from the teacher that he is very accomplished in reading. If he studies hard, it is not impossible for him to pass the imperial examination in the future."

"It's a pity that he was born into such a family, so he can only be a playboy."

"otherwise……"

After hearing this, Fu Yuzhang could no longer bear it.

He walked straight in, scaring Madam Fu and Nanny Fang who were talking.

"Grandma, what did you mean by what you just said? What do you mean by I can't study and I can only be a gangster in this life? Why?"

Mrs. Fu and Nanny Fang were both surprised when they saw this.

Madam Fu stood up in a hurry and almost dropped the cane in her hand.

She looked at her grandson in front of her, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, including heartache for her grandson and helplessness towards reality.

"Yu Zhang, why...why are you here?" Mrs. Fu's voice trembled a little, and she was obviously frightened by Fu Yu Zhang's sudden appearance.

Fu Yuzhang walked up to Madam Fu, held her hand, and helped her sit back down.

"I haven't come to see grandma for several days. I want to come and see grandma. Is it strange for me to be here?"

After saying that, Fu Yuzhang changed the subject.

"Grandma, what did you mean by that? Why can't I study? Why can't I be a gangster all my life?"

Fu Yuzhang is a quick-tempered person and never keeps many things to himself.

Of course, this is inseparable from Mrs. Fu’s doting on him.

Old Madam Fu looked at her grandson standing in front of her and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

She knew very well that what she had just said might have hurt her grandson's heart, but she also knew that the truth of the matter was cruel.

Madam Fu took a deep breath.

Then he asked Nanny Fang to call all the servants out of Shou'an Hall.

Because what she was going to say to Fu Yuzhang next was very important.

It must not be heard by outsiders, otherwise it would lead to the extermination of all nine generations of the clan.

After all the servants left.

She sighed, looked at Fu Yuzhang and said, "Yuzhang, grandma wanted to keep it a secret from you so that you could be a happy and independent person."

"Ah... but you heard it all today. If I keep it from you, grandma is afraid you will think too much."

The more Fu Yuzhang listened, the more confused he became.

What on earth was going on that made my grandmother so troubled?

"Grandma, please explain to your grandson why this is causing you so much trouble."

Madam Fu looked at Fu Yuzhang lovingly and said, "Yuzhang, tell me, did your father and grandfather make great military achievements?"

Fu Yuzhang nodded.

He has always regarded the achievements of his father and grandfather as his pride.

Madam Fu touched Fu Yuzhang's head and said, "But it is precisely because of such great achievements that we must be more cautious. Otherwise, I am afraid that even you can't be protected."

Fu Yuzhang was shocked when he heard this: "This is impossible."

"The emperor has always taken good care of our family. How could it be like what grandma said!"

For Fu Yuzhang, their mansion has always been favored by the emperor. No one can do anything to them except the emperor, no matter who dares to provoke them.
