Chapter 417: You Are the Most Beautiful When You Smile
Although the matter had ended, those who were fortunate enough to witness everything firsthand in the grand hall today could hardly calm the raging tide in their hearts.
The battle between the Fu family’s father and daughter was like a big drama with ups and downs in the plot.
Poisoning his legal wife, strangling his son, spoiling his concubine to ruin his legal wife, and finally pulling his own daughter into the mire!
The Fu family’s assets were searched and confiscated, then they were sent into exile. Fu Shuyuan even had to live with two lunatics for the rest of his life.
Fu Yuzheng, a daughter of the Fu family, won the battle beautifully, but not entirely.
She testified against her father in court and drove her father’s family to a miserable end. Even if such a person had an awe-inspiring and righteous reason and a grievance to be avenged, in Nanling, where filial piety was a priority, she was bound to be criticized by the world.
She would be called a vicious woman.
No one would dare to provoke such a woman. Even if she became the special supplier, and would later occupy the top in the cloth industry of Nanling, no one would dare to associate or marry her.
Her gains and losses were fifty-fifty, making people sigh.
After leaving the palace and the palace gates, Fu Yuzheng’s eyes locked on the carriage in front of the palace gates.
The Nanling King’s carriage was very recognizable. It was low-profile, without losing its grandeur, with the emblem of the Nanling King’s Palace hanging on the wall of the carriage.
The carriage was quietly parked there. The place where it stopped when it came hadn’t changed.
He really waited for her here, as he promised. He didn’t leave a single step.
Fu Yuzheng’s eyes burned, and she took a step toward it.
Slowly walking, sprinting, and finally running.
She lifted the curtain to get into the carriage and jumped into the man’s arms.
”Zhixia, I won.”
”I knew you could win. Congratulations.”
Four eyes faced each other with a lingering smile and a knot in each other’s eyes.
”They say I’m a poisonous woman. No one will dare to marry me,” she said.
”I’ll marry you,” he replied.
Fu Yuzheng once again threw herself into the man’s arms, smiled and shed silent tears.
His words were enough for the rest of her life.
Since she was back, the carriage set off.
Liu Zhixia did not immediately direct the carriage home, but diverted it to the Fu’s residence and stopped in front of it.
He lifted the curtain and they both looked out.
The Fu family was sentenced to banishment; a noble family in the capital fell in a second, fell irreparably.
The imperial decree at the city gates had rapidly generated buzz in the city, overshadowing the indecency of the Fu family’s mother and daughter a few days ago.
At the door of the Fu’s residence, people almost blocked the entrance, craning their necks to watch the excitement.
Officers and soldiers detained Fu Shuyuan, with shackles on his hands and feet. Together with the crazed mother and daughter of the Fu family and other family members, they stood at the door and watched as people in the mansion carried sealed big brocade boxes outside.
Those were all the family assets of the Fu family. Later, each would be stored in a corner of the treasury, filling the treasury.
Fu Shuyuan stood in the middle of the crowd, defeat and dejection across his face. Tears trickled down from his aged eyes as he muttered his grievances, cursing in a fury of grief.
The mother and daughter beside him was unaware of what was happening. They gathered together as if they were watching something interesting, and from time to time, they would burst into mad laughter and heckling.
Fu Yuzheng sat in the carriage and watched quietly. She remained expressionless, and not a ripple of emotion also surfaced in her eyes.
Her mother and her young brother should also be watching from heaven at this time, right?
Seeing those who murdered them, they finally got their due retribution.
Although the Fu family was incomparable to the first wealthy Liu family, they had been wealthy for many years. Their wealth was overflowing. There were at least a hundred of large boxes from the mansion, all of which contained precious jade, jewelry, gold and silver, as well as famous paintings and calligraphy. All kinds of antiques were presented. As for the unseen silver bills, the people simply couldn’t estimate how astronomical the number was.
After the Fu residence was emptied, the officials and soldiers began to disperse the people in front of the gate. They needed to escort the people out of the capital to their place of exile.
The Emperor explicitly ordered that the family wasn’t allowed to stay a moment longer.
”Zhixia, let’s go.” The family was about to be escorted, and the spectacle was over. The hatred that had been weighing in Fu Yuzheng’s her heart for more than a decade had been dispersed with the ending the Fu family was served.
There was nothing worth seeing.
Liu Zhixia hugged the woman in his arms and ordered, “Back to the royal residence.”
The carriage changed directions, moving slowly through the crowd of people and driving past the Fu residence.
Fu Shuyuan, who was driven away by the officials and soldiers, turned his head and saw the carriage. In an instant, his eyes glowed red and burst.
Fu Yuzheng!
It was Fu Yuzheng!
She was the b-i-t-c-h who reduced him to such a state!
”Fu Yuzheng, stop right there! You poisonous woman! You murdered your own father with your own hands and dragged your family to their knees. You’ll never die of natural death and will be struck by lightning! Anyone who touches you will die a horrible death! Doomed to death! The Heavens will strike you down! Tear you to shreds!”
He cursed at the carriage with all his might, but the person in the carriage did not seem to hear him, did not give him any response, and drifted away.
The response was more like ignoring him.
Fu Yuzheng never had him as a father in her eyes.
In the carriage, Fu Yuzheng closed her eyes, clinging to the man’s broad and solid embrace, hugging him tightly with her arms.
She unintentionally betrayed her dependence on him.
”Zhixia.”
”Hmm.”
”From now on, I really have no relatives.”
”I have a family.”
”There’s not even a place I can call home anymore.”
”I have a home, too.”
”I’m all alone with no identity, no family, no background, and no money.”
”That’s okay, I have all these,” he lowered his head and kissed her hair, “Yuzheng, after marrying me, I will give you everything I have. From now on, what is mine is yours, and I am yours. You have everything.”
She did not open her eyes, but only snuggled closer to him. The dense moisture in her between her closed eyelashes were suppressed with all her might and didn’t overflow.
”Yuzheng, after the spring exams, let’s get married.”
Above her head, the man proposed softly.
Fu Yuzheng shuddered instantaneously, and the moisture she held back within her eyelashes quickly burned her eyes.
He reached out and forcefully lifted her face from his arms, “Yuzheng, let’s get married.”
She didn’t answer, so he asked again.
She finally opened her eyes and gazed deeply at him through her blurred vision.
”Okay.”
She replied dumbly. She raised her lips and smiled brightly. As soon as she smiled, the shaky tears in her eyes rolled down her cheeks.
They left traces of cooling quickly after a slight scalding all the way.
He leaned down, “Don’t cry. Don’t cry when you’re happy.”
Yuzheng was inherently a beautiful woman.
He said early on, she deserved to be treated tenderly.
He would like to be the one to pour out all the tenderness for her.
Treat her well for the rest of her life.
