Imperial City Center Apartment.
Fu Zhiqing was placed in this place by Shen Qingyi after she moved out of Fu's house, and she has been living here for half a month.
She didn't leave her house, but she could hear the news she needed to know.
For example, she knew the news about the Fu family and Fu Yuheng's death.
However, the funeral was held in a hurry and she was not able to attend. However, Shen Qing later took her to the Fu family cemetery to pay homage.
Although Fu Yuheng was not good to her when he was alive, he was still the person she called her brother for so many years.
At this point, the head of the Fu family changed hands and Fu Dingfeng suffered a stroke. These news were also heard.
Fu Zhiqing sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and could see the bustling traffic below.
It was only now that she felt completely free. If her grandfather was seriously ill, Fu Zhining would be as crazy as the rumors said.
Then she and the Fu family will become further and further apart. From now on, no one will be able to remember her existence or that she is a member of the Fu family.
It was like dreaming, dreaming and dreaming, and she woke up.
Looking back, everything in the past was illusory, invisible and intangible.
As soon as Shen Qing opened the door and came in, he saw the person sitting cross-legged in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to him.
The little girl has a slender figure, much thinner than ordinary girls. If she stands there, she will be blown away by the wind.
"Come and have something to eat," he called.
Fu Zhiqing got up from the carpet, straightened her skirt and went to the dining table.
"Brother Shen, I have something to tell you."
Shen Qing placed the things he brought back one by one, "Let's talk after eating."
Fu Zhiqing pulled out the chair and sat down, taking the bowls and chopsticks handed over by Shen Qingyi.
"Brother Shen, I want to move out."
Now that everything has settled, she can't always stay by Shen Qingyi's side.
Moreover, Mrs. Shen came here a few days ago, held her hand and asked her what she wanted for the wedding.
These words completely frightened Fu Zhiqing.
She has already burdened Shen Qingyi, how can she still try to marry him? This is not okay.
It is not her nature to repay kindness with hatred.
"You can live here peacefully for now. The situation with the Fu family has not yet been determined. The entire imperial capital is still in chaos. It is not safe for girls to go out to live."
Fu Zhiqing wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Shen Qingyi.
"You said you were willing to do anything when you asked me to take you away from the Fu family. Why are you not listening to me now?"
This last sentence successfully interrupted Fu Zhiqing's thoughts.
Yes, she did say that she was willing to do anything as long as she could leave the Fu family.
Tang Rong came in with her servants carrying large and small bags. Shen Qing had a severe headache when she saw her mother, who still had a childlike heart.
If you don't give me the password, you'll cry, make trouble, or hang yourself. But if you give me the password, you don't come here very often.
"Where are you eating?" Tang Rong glanced at the two of them, "I brought some clothes for Zhiqing. Girls love to look beautiful this season, and she doesn't like to go out. Come over and see if she likes it?"
Fu Zhiqing was flattered. Looking at the rows of clothes bags released by the servant, she stood up in surprise.
"Mrs. Tang."
Tang Rong suddenly straightened her face and said, "Call me Aunt Rong."
Fu Zhiqing changed her title obediently, and Tang Rong's expression improved again.
"Try it and see. These clothes are all carefully selected by me!" Tang Rong put out the clothes in the bag as if to offer a treasure.
She had always wanted to have a daughter who could dress up well, but her health was not good, and she never gave birth to a second daughter after giving birth to Shen Qingyi.
This is also her biggest regret. That's why Tang Rong was particularly fond of Fu Zhiqing when she first saw her. She was such a pretty girl, so it was perfect for her to be her daughter-in-law.
"Go try on this skirt."
Fu Zhiqing was pushed into the room, and Tang Rong sat outside waiting with excitement on her face.
Shen Qing brought a glass of water and placed it in front of Tang Rong, "So happy?"
Tang Rong glanced at her son indifferently, "You have grown up and you have only done one thing that makes me happy, which is to bring Zhiqing back."
It was only at this time that she felt that giving birth to this boy was the right thing to do.
Shen Qing glanced at Tang Rong. She rarely wore such formal clothes.
"Who are you seeing?"
Tang Rong then turned around and looked at him, "The Fu family's mistress sent me a message a few days ago, saying that she wanted to meet and talk about your marriage to Zhiqing. I'm going to see her today."
Shen Qing raised his eyebrows, "Gu Shulan?"
"She means to let Zhiqing go back to Fu's house, and then take some time to arrange the marriage."
This was Gu Shulan's original intention.
Shen Qingyi looked down at her, "You agreed?"
"You think your mother is stupid. I know everything about the Fu family, but whether or not to go back to the Fu family is Zhiqing's own business. No one can make the decision for her."
Shen Qing smiled lightly and reminded his mother, "I thought you would be sure that this person will not be returned to the Fu family."
Tang Rong glared at him, "This is not a kitten or puppy. No matter how much I like her and want her to be my daughter-in-law, there is nothing I can do if they don't like you."
Tang Rong saw this very clearly.
"The Fu family wants to take her back now? Did Gu Shulan tell you?"
Tang Rong nodded, "She is very anxious, saying that she treats Zhiqing like her own daughter and wants to prepare a good marriage for her daughter."
It's no secret that Gu Shulan has no children. She also watched the four children of the Fu family grow up.
It is reasonable to have special feelings, and Tang Rong cannot use this to criticize her.
Now that Gu Shulan has become the powerful mistress of the Fu family, it is not surprising that she wants to take Fu Zhiqing back.
"But son, are you sure about Zhiqing's thoughts? I really want her to be my daughter-in-law." Tang Rong looked expectant.
Shen pressed his temple lightly, "You can ask yourself."
Tang Rong rolled her eyes, "You think I don't dare."
In the room, Fu Zhiqing, who had changed her clothes, heard Tang Rong's words clearly and put down the things in her hands.
His face was extremely pale, as if the curse he had just thought he had escaped had come back again.
The second aunt wants to take her back to Fu's house.
And now the second aunt is the mistress of the Fu family.
Tang Rong saw that Fu Zhiqing's face was not very good, and complained that her son did not take good care of her.
Father Shen's phone number over there was so busy that he couldn't wait to get one every quarter of an hour.
Tang Rong didn't wait long, and just asked Shen Qing to convey her intention. Whether she could go back to Fu's house or not would depend on Fu Zhiqing's intention.
Fu Zhiqing seemed to have thought for a long time before mustering up the courage to say this.
"Brother Shen, I heard that you will be stationed at the border soon? Can you take me with you?"
Shen Qing smiled and said, "If you want to get rid of the Fu family, getting married is the best way. If you don't want to marry me, then I can help you choose a husband..."
He is calm and would never force a woman to marry him.
He never wants anything that is not given willingly.
