Chapter 51 She is not Fu Zhen, who is? (Second update, please vote)
Fu Zhen looked at Mrs. Fu in surprise, surprised by this answer, but this answer corresponded to the faint guess in his heart.

"The two people who died were the old friends that your grandfather promised to visit." Mrs. Fu held the soup bowl in her hand and spoke in a low voice. "They were never able to stay in the guest room I booked for them. When they were killed, they were waiting I was watching from the window upstairs as I was waiting for their arrival and wanted to entertain them with joy.

"Zhen'er, do you believe there is retribution in the world?"

The sound sounded like it was cutting Fu Zhen's intestines, which was very uncomfortable.

"I feel very guilty. I actually didn't really expect that person to give me anything in return. It was just because it was your grandfather's last wish, so I paid great attention to it. But I couldn't stop it from happening at the time, and I failed to live up to your grandfather's instructions.

"Later I always thought, if the person who saw all this from the window was Miss Liang, she would have bravely stepped forward, right?"

"No," Fu Zhen squeezed her hands, "This matter is weird and not something ordinary people can mess with. Even Miss Liang—she might not rush out.

"You are a weak woman, it is not easy to be able to stay calm and protect yourself in that situation!

"I believe there will be retribution, but this retribution will not fall on us. However," Fu Zhen paused and said, "Since the person who died is an old friend that my grandfather told us about, we may be able to find a way to make the truth of this case come to light. Bringing the murderer to justice will also comfort my grandfather, his old man, and the spirits of his two old friends in heaven!"

"It's not that I haven't thought about it, but -" Mrs. Fu sighed, "it's easier said than done without any clues. Even if they are the people I'm waiting for, I was able to determine from the clothes of the corpses when the people behind them were cleaning up the corpses. .

"With a family like ours, how can we shake the people behind it?"

Fu Zhen also fell silent after hearing this.

Mrs. Fu's words hit the key point.

The key to Xu Yin's death may be this case, but the prerequisite for solving this case is enough clues and strong enough strength, but right now they are too weak, and they don't even know the identity of the deceased.

The only thing she can control now is the dagger.

The reason why Liang Ning talked about this matter with Xu Yin at that time was firstly out of trust, and secondly because the place where the incident happened was close to Xu's house, and she had to remind him to pay attention to his safety.

Based on the fact that only Xu Yin and no one else came to ask Liang Ning for the dagger, it can be concluded that Xu Yin did not leak the matter.

Naturally, he had his own reasons for not leaking it. When he killed Liang Ning, in addition to wanting to leave the Liang family and climb a new branch, I'm afraid there was also a reason for silence.

After all, they were looking for the dagger to prevent the secret from being exposed, so they killed her as a witness. Wouldn't it be a clean slate?

It's just that they never expected that Mrs. Fu would also see it. Fortunately, she didn't want to implicate Mrs. Fu and hid this part from Xu Yin.

From this point of view, Xu Yin suddenly killed Liang Ning, but he may not have chosen the day to do it.

It is possible that the person or thing behind the dagger pushed him to this step.

The person who helped him plan the murder in Baihe Temple, and was able to deceive Dali Temple and the Liang family afterwards, must also be related to the owner of the dagger.

It's a pity that when I suddenly woke up that day, I suddenly encountered Fu Rou's plot to murder Fuzhen. It was impossible to think of going to the ruins to find whether the dagger was still there——

"Madam, Aunt Li is calling back from the kitchen."

At this time, the maid announced through the door curtain.Fu Zhen heard the sound and glanced at Mrs. Fu, then stood up and said, "I'm full, mother, you are busy."

When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped again. She looked back at Mrs. Fu, whose eyes had been glued to her body. She walked back and fell into her arms: "My body, hair and skin are all nourished by my mother's ten-month pregnancy with flesh and blood. Your kindness." It has been engraved in my flesh and blood and no one can change this fact."

After saying that, she straightened up and bowed before walking out.

Mrs. Fu sat cross-legged on the couch, and through the open window, she watched Fu Zhen go out with his back straight, down the corridor, and then out of the yard.

There was still the warmth of a girl in her arms and embrace.

When he heard what his servants were saying, he decisively stayed in bed to avoid it. When he saluted, he was straight and dignified. When he walked, he was as proud as a little peacock. When he acted, he was as confident as a little pony that is not afraid of wind and waves.

This is how Mrs. Fu hopes Fu Zhen will look like in her dreams, but it is not what Fu Zhen should have looked like in the past 15 years.

She held her hand on the edge of the window, tears rolling down her eyes.

Gradually, the silent crying turned into low whimpering, and finally turned into a wail deep in the robe.

She crossed her arms tightly, as if unwilling to let the remaining warmth dissipate.

Jin Zhu came in after hearing the sound and looked at her shaking shoulders under the candlelight in silence. After a long time, he gently placed his palm on her shoulders.

The night outside the window felt heavier.

The joys and sorrows of the world are just pages of a book in the long river of time. When you turn it over, it becomes a chapter in the past.

Fu Zhen walked under the quiet verandah and looked at the corridor above casting her shadow into a bamboo pole.

It was this body that passed by here countless times in the past, and all the things she had experienced in the past ten years were in her mind. She was not Fuzhen, who was?

……

Fu Yun returned to his home and went to Rongfu Hall first.

Mrs. Fu was so angry that her heart ached after being tricked by Fu Zhen a few days ago. However, none of her daughter-in-law or granddaughter paid attention to her. She sent people to the main courtyard to deliver the news. Instead, Mrs. Fu scolded her and said something like "unkind mother". The servants didn't believe in such nonsense as "Why should I blame my daughter-in-law for being unfilial" and refuted Mrs. Fu's words, but Jin Zhu even kicked her out.

Mrs. Fu became even more angry when she came.

Fu Yun said a lot of bad things about Mrs. Fu and her daughter in front of Fu Yun. Fu Yun originally changed his mind because of Xu Yin's harsh criticism, and his anger towards Fu Zhen was reduced a little.

Hearing what Mrs. Fu said, he couldn't help but think of the two beatings he received from Fu Zhen, and felt that even if Fu Zhen gave him an idea, it wouldn't be worth anything. How could he offset the previous beatings? Where is her arrogance?

In addition, he was humiliated by Du Su in public today on the street, and he is still ashamed and angry.

At one moment, she resented Mr. Ning's opinion for setting such a snobbish marriage for the Fu family. At another moment, she felt that the Du family had gone too far. They just didn't come to propose marriage, and they actually didn't even recognize him, an in-law with whom they had been engaged for many years. !It’s better not to have any!
After a while, I recalled the way Liang Chen was so sought after by others, and I couldn't help but feel envious and sighing. Why did he fail to get a good pregnancy and become a high-ranking official in this life?
Thinking back on his marriage to the Du family, he couldn't bear to let go!
