Chapter 317: Chapter 275
Fu Zhen was speechless for a long time after hearing this.
Pei Zhan raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes: "What’s the matter, turned silly?"
Fu Zhen slapped his hand away: "You’re the one who’s silly!"
Big fool!
Things that originally had nothing to do with him, he insisted on getting involved one after another.
She said, "Maybe I should just let Chen Er or Zhi Er handle it." After all, they’re family.
Pei Zhan replied, "If Chen Er and Zhi Er can do it, then why can’t Zhan Er?"
Fu Zhen clicked her tongue and didn’t want to deal with him anymore.
Pei Zhan said, "If you let them handle it, wouldn’t that directly make Xu Yin suspect the Liang family? Why drag them into this?"
Fu Zhen understood this reasoning; she just didn’t want to owe him too many favors.
"Alright, let’s do it this way then!" Pei Zhan said, looking up, "You can find some time to go see Zhe Yu."
...
Lu Chongyang didn’t want Fu Zhen to think he was bluffing. After taking over Zhe Yu’s treatment, he focused all his energy on healing him, constantly adjusting more effective herbs whenever he had time. After several days, Zhe Yu’s condition improved rapidly. Initially, he could sit up, then gradually move his arms, and eventually, he was able to lower his legs off the bed. The progress was remarkable.
After the Pei family’s guards were stationed in the Zhe household, the security of this residence became impenetrable. Forget about Xu Yin’s people entering with grandeur, even a sneaky approach wouldn’t work.
Fu Zhen arrived at the Zhe household at night without any obstacles.
Since Pei Zhan’s suggestion, he found Liang Chen and Liang Zhi the next day, explained the situation, and after a discussion, they also agreed to let Pei Zhan take Fu Zhen’s place. Fu Zhen didn’t have much to say to them either.
"Did you hear any news about what Xu Yin promised you recently?"
After sending everyone away, Fu Zhen directly asked Zhe Yu.
"No," Zhe Yu shook his head, "Xu’s thoughts are deep. He hasn’t gotten your exact identity from me, so it seems he doesn’t plan to make things easy for me."
"Then do you have any other ways to return to Prince Rong’s Mansion?"
"I don’t," Zhe Yu’s expression darkened, "To be honest, I’ve been racking my brain these past few days. But besides Princess Rong, I have no value to anyone else in Prince Rong’s Mansion. I can’t think of any other way."
He raised his head again and said, "I’m sorry, give me some more time to think of another solution."
Fu Zhen, arms crossed, raised an eyebrow: "Since you have no other way, why not listen to ours?"
Zhe Yu’s expression shifted slightly: "’Ours’?"
"That’s right," Fu Zhen nodded, "You only need to hand over the captured assassin, and Xu Yin will send you back to Prince Rong’s Mansion."
"How is that possible?" Zhe Yu straightened up involuntarily upon hearing this, "Even if I’m incompetent, I’m not an ungrateful person! I would never do such a thing."
"What if I’m the one asking you to do it?"
Just as Zhe Yu finished speaking, two figures strolled out from behind the screen. One was dressed in a dark robe, with wide sleeves and a majestic, dignified air. The other wore a moon-white brocade fitted robe, richly embroidered with silver thread, exuding both authority and a touch of elegance.
At the sound, Zhe Yu first showed a look of astonishment, and upon recognizing their faces, his expression exploded!
"...General Pei! Great General!"
As these titles came out, his body couldn’t help but sink to the ground, but Fu Zhen quickly supported his shoulder: "Why panic? Haven’t you seen them before?"
Zhe Yu would never have thought that his humble abode would welcome the most valiant young generals of the current dynasty!
These were General Pingxi, Pei Zhan, who reversed the situation in the northwest and defeated Dayue, which had entangled with Great Zhou for over a decade, and Great General Liang Chen!
Zhe Yu’s eyes widened, his gaze fixed on their faces, then he turned to Fu Zhen beside him, his voice barely like his own:
"Am I dreaming?"
How could these two step into his small residence?
And this woman, whose name he still didn’t know, what was her relationship with them? Why did they seem so familiar with each other?
"You’re not dreaming," Liang Chen stepped forward slowly, "Although this is my first time in your residence, General Pei has been here countless times."
Upon hearing his clear words once more, Zhe Yu steadied his expression but quickly looked surprised toward Pei Zhan: "General Pei... has also been here?"
"What else could I do?" Pei Zhan glanced at Fu Zhen, "My wife looks after you so much, I had to come and check in often."
