The atmosphere in the room was a little subtle. Wang Yuzhen took a careful look at Fu Jinrou and then at Xue Ru.
Xue Ru was confused: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Zhou Yuchang saw something wrong with Fu Jinrou's expression, and quickly said: "Aru, you have misunderstood. Jinrou is from the Fu family. She just lived in her hometown in Lingnan and came to the capital not long ago, so you have never met Mr. Fu. Renren and Mrs. Fu both love Jinrou very much."
Xue Ru suddenly realized: "So that's the case. I just asked how could Mrs. Fu, such a beautiful sister, be hiding."
When she looked at Fu Jinrou, she smiled softly:
"Then will Sister Fu stay in the capital in the future?"
Fu Jinrou smiled softly and said softly: "I am not in good health. Lingnan has hot flashes and the climate is not suitable. My great-uncle said that I should stay in the capital."
Xue Ru tilted her head: "Then have you always been in the Fu family?"
Qian Qiyue laughed when she heard this and reached out to slap her on the forehead.
"Are you stupid? Jinrou wants to marry her, so how could she stay at Fu's house all the time? After she gets married, she will naturally go to live in her husband's house. But Mrs. Fu and the others love Jinrou so much, she must want to Married in the capital."
Xue Ru was stunned for a moment: "It turns out that Sister Fu hasn't said anything about getting married yet. I thought she was so good-looking and older than Sister Zhou, so she should have been settled by others. If she hadn't gotten engaged yet, then The threshold of the Fu family has to be trampled down."
"I was worried that Sister Fu would go back to Lingnan to stay with her parents and relatives and I wouldn't be able to see her again. It would be great if you married in the capital. My sister and I can often visit you to play in the future. I like Sister Fu very much."
Fu Jinrou: "..."
She kept looking at the smiling Xue Ru. It was obvious that her expression was intimate and her words were intimate, no one could fault her, but Fu Jinrou felt that there was something inexplicably familiar about her words.
Is this Xue Rou mocking her for being nearly 20 years old and not getting engaged yet, saying that she is greedy for wealth in the capital and unfilial to her elders?
Wang Yuzhen and Zhou Yuchang on the side were also stunned for a moment.
Among them, only Qian Qiyue and Zhou Yuchang were familiar with Fu Jinrou, but they had only known each other for three or four months. Qian Qiyue only knew why Fu Jinrou came to Beijing because of Fu Laiqing, but Zhou Yuchang did not know. Wang Yuzhen Don't even know the reason.
At this time, when listening to Xue Ru's words, both of them were a little confused.
Fu Jinrou is older than them all, she seems to be nineteen. No matter where she is at this age, she should have already announced the marriage, and maybe she has children. However, after Fu Jinrou came to Beijing, Mrs. Fu took care of her in Beijing. Looking at the marriage, it is obvious that he wants her to marry into the capital.
Then she won't go back to Fu's hometown, and her parents and relatives will disappear from now on?
Tang Ning saw that Zhou Yuchang and the others had doubts on their faces, while Fu Jinrou's eyes lost their previous softness and seemed to be sizing up Xue Ru.
She smiled and patted Xue Ru's forehead: "Your sister Fu is gentle and sensible. Even Mrs. Fu praised her highly. Naturally, everyone likes her, but you, a little girl, know how to tease people at a young age. , and I’m not afraid that Sister Fu will be angry.”
Tang Ning was a little embarrassed when she looked up at Fu Jinrou.
"Aru is young and speaks rashly. She just likes you so she asked a few more questions. Sister Fu, don't mind."
Fu Jinrou looked at Xue Ru, whose eyes were round and looked confused and happy, and then at Tang Ning, who had a sincere smile. She couldn't tell whether what they just said was intentional or unintentional.
But no matter what, she had to answer what Xue Ru and Tang Ning said.
"It's okay, I know sister Aru is just curious about me."
There was a hint of loneliness on Fu Jinrou's face when she spoke: "To tell you the truth, I actually got engaged when I was in Lingnan earlier. We were supposed to get married two years ago, but the family where we got engaged had a small funeral and it took two years. , when he passed Rexiao, he was supposed to discuss the wedding date, but who knew something happened again..."
Fu Jinrou's eyes were a little red. Although she never said what happened, anyone could see the embarrassment in her eyes when she bit her lip.
"My grandfather broke off the marriage there in anger, but it still caused gossip."
"There are still many sisters in the clan who are not married. My marriage was not going well, but their reputations were implicated. I originally planned to hang my hair and spend my whole life, but my great-uncle felt sorry for me, so she took me to the capital to live temporarily. "
She was already soft and beautiful, but when the red eye circles were stained with mist, she became even more fragile.
"My great-uncle doesn't allow me to mention these things to others, and I'm afraid that others will laugh at me and be renounced. It's normal for sister Aru not to know."
Zhou Yuchang was already soft-hearted, but when she saw her red eyes and low voice, she felt a little guilty. She quickly put her arms around Fu Jinrou and said:
"Aru didn't mean to bring up your sadness. Don't think too much about it. Being engaged to a good girl like you is something that no one can ask for. It's their loss for those people to break off the engagement."
"Don't worry about the past. Once you come to the capital, live with peace of mind. There are many good men in the capital, and Mrs. Fu will definitely find a better marriage for you."
Fu Jinrou lowered her eyes and said "hmm" in a low voice, but there was resentment in her eyes.
How could that old woman find a good marriage for her? She was just raising her to gain a good reputation as a loving younger member of the family, but she never wanted to take care of her in her heart.
Obviously Xiao Yan has already said that the Queen Mother intends to select girls from the Fu and Cao families to enter the palace, and it is most likely that the prince will be assigned to the position of concubine in the East Palace and enjoy the harem in the future.
However, Mrs. Fu never mentioned this matter. Even when she pretended to ask Xiao Yan about his purpose that day, Mrs. Fu ignored her and did not even mention the palace's decree.
She never thought about marrying into a good family from beginning to end.
Otherwise, not to mention becoming nobles in the palace, even Qi Cheng and He Jin, who are good friends with Fu Laiqing, are the eldest son of Zhennan General Mansion and the youngest son of the Minister of Punishment. They have good character and good family background. If If you can marry someone, you will definitely be envied and rich.
But Mrs. Fu never mentioned them, let alone asked about them. She didn't really love her at all. Otherwise, why would she find all those unworthy families for her? !
Zhou Yuchang didn't know what she was thinking, so she only comforted Fu Jinrou softly, feeling full of apologies for almost misunderstanding her because she shouldn't have thought wildly.
Qian Qiyue stood by and complained about Fu Jinrou's grievances. Even Wang Yuzhen felt pity for her.
Xue Ru looked a little colder in her eyes when she looked at Fu Jinrou, who had resolved the embarrassment in a few words and won the favor of several people.
This woman...
Her eyes flickered and she looked uneasy.
"Did I say something wrong? I didn't mean to mention Sister Fu's sadness..."
She stood up helplessly:
"Sister Fu, please don't cry. I didn't know you broke off the engagement and were bullied. I...I didn't mean to do it. I'm sorry..."
After one sentence, she also started to cry.
