Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 39、Ms. Zhuo’s sideline: the time is full of romance (11)
Fu Zheng returned to the south a few years ago, and he came back only a month ago, and he spent less than half a month in the south even if he was on the road.
"Aren't you afraid that Governor Wang will get angry?" Zhuo Lin leaned on Fu Zheng's arms and flipped through the book. The two of them were leaning against the soft sofa, which was very comfortable and warm.
Fu Zheng is holding Zhuo Lin with one hand and resting on his chin with the other, thinking about something a little lost.
I found that Zhuo Lin had stopped flipping the book and looked up at herself before she came back to her senses, "Huh? What?"
Zhuolin put the book in her hand aside and looked at Fu Zheng seriously, "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?" She found that Fu Zheng was always in a trance when she came back this time.
Zhuolin knows that Fu Zheng is not a person who likes to think wildly. If there is any problem, he will solve it on the spot. It can make him feel so distracted, which means that this is probably not a trivial matter.
Fu Zheng said flatly: "No, what could be wrong?"
"..." That's it.
Zhuolin looked at him and said seriously: "If you have anything to tell me, I can also give you an idea, and if it's bad, I will discuss it with others."
Fu Zheng took her back into his arms, put his chin on her shoulder and nodded, "Well, I know."
But Fu Zheng still didn't say anything, and Zhuo Lin looked at him and didn't get to the bottom of it.
"Aline, will you leave me?" Fu Zheng asked suddenly.
Zhuo Lin was taken aback, "Okay, why are you asking such a question? Is it because of Zhang Bi or Xiao Zhu this time?" This is a bit of a joke. Although Fu Zheng is jealous from time to time, most of them are Just kidding. This is not only to believe in their relationship and Zhuo Lin's character, but also to believe in the character of Zhang Bi and Xiao Zhu.
If Fu Zheng was really worried about this, he would never just say a few words and never stop them from coming and going.
Fu Zheng didn't joke this time, holding Zhuo Lin's hand that wanted to take the book, "Will you leave me?"
Zero Lin thought for a while, "Probably not? Unless you have done something wrong to me."
Fu Zheng was silent, Zhuo Lin raised her eyebrows, "Don't you really do something?"
Fu Zheng chuckled, "How could it be? I just asked casually."
Zhuo Lin turned her head and looked at Fu Zheng, who looked as usual, "I'm just a little worried."
Zhuolin smiled, "What are you worried about? If I saw someone I liked, I wouldn't have gotten married in the first place."
Fu Zheng hugged her tighter, "Arlene, don't leave me."
Zhuolin was helpless, so she patted his vest comfortably, "Okay."
At that time, Zhuo Lin didn't know that her marriage was about to set off a storm.
One day half a month later, Zhuo Lin walked into the office after class and saw an unsigned envelope on her desk.
Zhuo Lin frowned, looking at the empty office around her before opening the envelope.
Several photos slipped out of the envelope and fell to the ground, Zhuo Lin leaned over to pick them up but shrank back abruptly before her fingers touched the photos.
The black and white photos are not good quality, but they are good enough for her to see who the people in the photos are and what they are doing.
The photo is of a man and a woman, the man is very familiar to her, and the woman looks pale and beautiful in the photo, but she is also vaguely familiar. The two people in the photo are intimately entangled together. In the four photos in total, the two people's postures and angles are different, but the same makes people feel nauseous.
Zhuolin snapped the photo down and couldn't help turning her head away and retching.
She was the only one in the office quietly, and Zhuo Lin finally calmed down for a while. She resisted the discomfort in her stomach and picked up the photos again with her fingers trembling slightly.
She was not mistaken, the person in the photo was indeed her husband...Fu Zheng.
" Vomit..." Strong desire to vomit, but nothing came out, Zhuo Lin almost choked out tears.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally put the photo in her carry-on bag, got up and walked out of the office.
Evening is when school is over, and there are still students who are not leaving late at the school gate leaving in twos and threes. When she saw Zhuo Lin, her classmates greeted her, "Hello, Mr. Zhuo."
"Mr. Zhuo."
This time, Zhuo Lin did not return the salute to them with a smile as usual, but walked out quickly with her eyes lowered slightly.
"Zhuo... Mrs. Fu?" Someone suddenly stopped in front of Zhuo Lin, and Zhuo Lin had to stop abruptly. In front of her was a middle-aged woman in her forties. The woman was wearing an outdated embroidered padded jacket and skirt. There were already many wrinkles on her face and she looked very sad. Zhuo Lin quickly determined that she did not know her. this person.
"Who are you?"
The woman stood in front of Zhuo Lin and suddenly fell to her knees with a plop.
This kneeling immediately attracted the attention of everyone around, and those who were about to leave also stopped and looked here curiously.
"Mrs. Fu." The woman sobbed, "Please, give our girls a way to live!"
"..." Zhuo Lin suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, "What?"
The woman covered her face and wept, but her mouth was not idle, "Mrs. Fu, please do well and give our girls a way to live."
"Who is your girl...?"
The woman raised her head and looked at Zhuo Lin in astonishment, as if Zhuo Lin asked some strange question. After a while, he said timidly, "Our girl...my daughter, is the person General Fu received in Jiangnan. Didn't he tell you?"
Zhuolin closed her eyes, took a deep breath and opened her eyes to look directly at each other, "I haven't heard of this."
The woman panicked: "What I said is true! I didn't lie, Mrs. Fu, you are also a woman, please save our girl for the sake of being a woman, she will die Yes! I promise, as long as she has a name, she will never have any unreasonable thoughts!"
Zhuolin said: "You should go to Fu Zheng about this."
The woman kept her mouth shut, but her expression became more and more sad.
"Mother!" A young woman stumbled over with the support of two people, and fell down in front of the woman who was kneeling on the ground, hugging her and crying.
There are more people watching the lively around, people whispering in twos and threes, looking at Zhuo Lin and the mother and daughter with curiosity.
Zhuo Lin lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Fu Zheng didn't tell me about this. If you need any explanation, let Fu Zheng say it in person in front of me."
The young woman looked at Zhuo Lin timidly with red eyes, "Mrs. Fu, I'm sorry... I looked for General Fu, but he ignored me. I... We couldn't find General Fu in Jiangnan, so... …”
Zhuo Lin smiled bitterly in her heart and couldn't find Fu Zheng, so she ran to the capital and the school to follow and peep at her.
She has already recognized that this woman is the young girl she saw with Zhang Zuo that day.
"What's your relationship with Xing Wei?" Zhuo Lin asked.
The young woman said, "Distant...a distant relative."
Zero Lin nodded and turned to leave.
"Mrs. Fu!"
Seeing that she was about to leave, the middle-aged woman said in a high voice, "My daughter...my daughter is pregnant! She has General Fu's child!!"
“…”
Fu Zheng came back from outside, and the moment he stepped into the hall, his face became particularly ugly.
In the hall, Zhuo Lin was leaning on the sofa with a book in a trance, and a mother and daughter were sitting on the sofa not far from her. The mother, Fu Zheng, didn't know him, but when he saw the woman, Fu Zheng's expression changed in an instant.
"Arlene..." Fu Zheng's voice was a little dry.
Zhuolin came back to her senses and looked up at the uneasy look of the man in front of her, and instantly understood everything.
With a slight hook on her lips, Zhuo Lin asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Fu Zheng's face was pale, and Zhuo Lin even felt a little laugh when she looked at his appearance. Fu Zheng had never had such an ugly face before, even if he had been detained with weapons before, he and his troops were almost on the verge of desperation. When Zhuo Lin passed by with a large number of weapons, Fu Zheng's appearance at the time was not as ugly as it is now.
However, at this time, she really couldn't smile.
Not waiting for Fu Zheng to say anything, the woman had already stood up and walked quickly to Fu Zheng, "Fu...General Fu..." She seemed to want to approach Fu Zheng and seemed afraid, so she only dared to take a few steps in front of Fu Zheng Wai Zhan looked at Fu Zheng timidly with red eyes.
The middle-aged woman didn't have so many worries, so she stood up and smiled apologetically: "General Fu, you are finally back, our girl has the flesh and blood of the general, general..." Before she could speak, Fu Zheng's sharp gaze had already fallen on her face, and the icy, furious gaze made the woman shut her mouth abruptly.
Fu Zheng didn't look at the two again, but walked quickly to Zhuo Lin who was sitting on the sofa.
"Alyn, listen to me...I..." Fu Zheng said a little anxiously.
Zhuolin nodded slightly: "I listen, you say."
Fu Zhengdao: "I didn't think...she was when I was drinking with people when I was in the south...I don't mean anything else, you believe me!"
Zhuolin didn't speak. She wanted to say that she believed in Fu Zheng. In fact, she really believed that Fu Zheng didn't want to take a concubine. But... looking at the woman who was wiping her tears while supporting her unrecognizable belly, and the middle-aged woman who started to pretend and cry again, she didn't want to say anything.
Reaching out to pick up the stack of photos from the table and hand them over, Zhuo Lin said sullenly, "Let's take a look."
Fu Zheng was startled, took the photo and glanced down, the expression on his face became more and more stiff.
The middle-aged woman standing next to her slapped her thigh and started crying again, "General Fu, you can't ignore our girl, she has your flesh and blood, if you ignore it, how will she live in the future? Fu. Madam, please give her a way out."
The woman cried and cried and knelt down in front of Zhuo Lin, and the young woman knelt down with a whimper when she saw her mother kneeling.
The voice of the middle-aged woman and the sobbing cry of the young woman made Zhuo Lin's forehead feel as if it was about to explode in pain. She raised her hand and rubbed her brows, the contents of the photos kept appearing in front of her eyes, and finally she couldn't help twisting herself on the sofa and retching.
"Arlene!" Fu Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to help her. Zhuo Lin reached out and pushed away his outstretched hand. Fu Zheng's outstretched hand froze in mid-air and was silent for a while.
"Shut up!" Fu Zheng rebuked irritably, disturbed by the cry.
The two cries of different heights stopped immediately, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
Fu Zheng stood stiffly to one side, and waited until Zhuo Lin calmed down a little before she whispered: "Arlene, that was really an accident, it's only that one time, can you forgive me? I promise to take this one. Clean things up!"
Zero Lin shook her head with a bitter smile, "You really only hid this thing from me?"
Fu Zhengdao: "Naturally."
Jolyn looked at him, "So, why did I never know...you have a daughter?"
Fu Zheng's heart jumped, "I...that's me, it's..."
"I know." Zhuo Lin said lightly: "The mother of that child is the girl your grandmother gave you when you were young, but... why did you lie to me?"
Fu Zheng is over the age of 10, and having children is not so unacceptable. Zhuo Lin felt that there were probably some omissions of her own. She asked Fu Zheng if he had a concubine, but she hadn't thought about asking him if he had children. If she asked clearly at the beginning, she believed that Fu Zheng would not lie to her.
Zhuolin herself is from a prestigious family, so she naturally knows that the elders in the family have the habit of giving the girls who are close to them to the juniors as adults when they become adults.
To a certain extent, this is also to prevent the young masters from making scandals or contracting diseases before they get married. Some of these women will become concubines after entering the main room, and some will be released for marriage. That's how the eldest girl from the Fu family came. She is now in her early ten years. It's just that Fu Zheng didn't marry a wife after all, and the concubine had a child without entering the house. This is not something that can be brought to the forefront in the conservative south. In addition to the fact that the eldest girl's biological mother passed away early, other than those who were very close, they didn't even know that there was such a girl in the Fu family.
It's fine if others don't know, but Zhuo Lin went back to Yongcheng with Fu Zheng, and she didn't know either, so it could only be that the Fu family deliberately concealed this matter.
They didn't stay in Fu's house for a long time, and Zhuo Lin never saw the big girl from beginning to end.
Fu Zheng knew that he was right, "Originally... my mother said that you and I just got married, it's not good to use this thing to block you, I want to wait for you to have a child, and then talk slowly..."
Fu Zheng really didn't hide Zhuo Lin on purpose. At first, he forgot that he still had a daughter. Fu Zheng has been wandering outside for a long time, not to mention his daughter, even his parents, who can't see both sides throughout the year. He didn't take part in the whole process of that child from conception to birth to growth. The first time he knew he had a daughter was when he returned home for the first time in three years away from home. The child was almost two years old.
When he remembered this, he was a little nervous. He didn't know if this child would affect his relationship with Zhuo Lin, so he just kept it hidden.
Zhuolin looked at him, "So...you think, do I still believe you? One woman, one child...no, two children. Fu Zheng, what are you going to surprise me next time?"
"I..."
Zhuo Lin stood up, glanced at the two women who were still kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "What to do is up to you, as for us... Fu Zheng, let's get a divorce."
"No!" Fu Zheng was startled, his voice resounded throughout the hall, and the two women kneeling on the ground were also startled.
Ignoring her rejection, Fu Zheng stepped forward and grabbed Zhuo Lin's arm and said, "I said it was really an accident this time, and it will never happen again in the future! Just for this, you will follow me. Divorce?! You said you won't leave me!"
Zhuo Lin slapped him away and took her hand, looked at him for a moment and said lightly: "You don't understand why I want a divorce at all, and you also said that you won't lie to me."
Fu Zheng said angrily: "If I don't understand, just tell me that! You tell me!"
Zhuo Lin's originally calm face was also stained with anger, she sneered: "Why should I say that?" After speaking, she turned and walked upstairs, and Fu Zheng quickly followed.
Zhuolin turned her head and said coldly, "Fu Zheng, don't follow me!"
Fu Zheng paused at his feet, not knowing whether it was stabbed by her indifferent eyes or why, he stood at the entrance of the stairs and stared at her back upstairs.
The hall was quiet, and the air was so oppressive that it was a little breathless.
The mother and daughter, who were kneeling on the ground, glanced at each other. The young woman looked up at her mother in surprise. When Fu Zhengzheng was looking at her gloomily, she wanted to hide herself behind her mother.
Fu Zheng stared at the mother and daughter on the ground, and the expression on his face became more and more gloomy.
He didn't expect a woman he didn't care about at all to cause him such a big trouble.
When I was in Jiangnan last year, it was just a very ordinary drinking session with my colleagues. Those people during the banquet got a few girls from somewhere, and it is said that those who came out of the building were not from innocent and good families. Fu Zheng didn't have any interest in these things and didn't take it to heart. How could a girl from a good family attend a party of a group of big men? No matter how nice it sounds, I'm afraid it's just another way of saying it, and the lining is still the same.
It's just that he didn't expect that he, who has always been a good drinker, would actually get drunk. What happened after that... Afterwards, those fellow comrades also admitted that they had deliberately drunk him, but they felt that he was too out of place to not be tainted by women. . Even if Fu Zheng was furious and beat people up, what would he do? When I went back to the south this time, this woman came to the door again, but Fu Zheng ignored her and drove her away. This woman only went once and disappeared. Fu Zheng thought she was interested and left by herself, but she did not expect that she would find the capital and find Arlene.
When something like this happened, he really didn't know what to do except to hide it from Zhuo Lin.
And this kind of thing...if you don't say it in the first place, you can't say it later.
"General..." The young woman tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes and shivered under Fu Zheng's gaze.
Fu Zheng pulled out the gun from his waist with a gloomy face, and loaded it with two clicks.
The two women screamed in horror and hugged, "General...General, spare your life."
Fu Zheng stared at the young woman, "You said you were pregnant?"
The woman's face was pale, and she nodded tremblingly: "Yes... I, I don't dare to lie to the general, please, please, the general."
The middle-aged woman also hurriedly said: "General Fu, we didn't dare to come to the door at first, but the general warned us, we all remember. But, but our girl is pregnant with a child, there is really no way. We know the rules, we just want the girl and the child to have a place to live, and never dare to compete with the lady. Please, for the sake of the child, the general will have pity on us. Otherwise... we really can't survive." Said He hugged his daughter and cried a lot.
Zhuo Lin came downstairs with a small suitcase and was shocked when she saw the suitcase in her hand, Fu Zheng, and hurriedly said, "Arlene, what are you going to do?"
Zhuolin said: "I just said it."
"I disagree!" Fu Zheng said coldly.
Zhuo Lin's face was frosty, "Did you forget what I said when we got married? Fu Zheng, let's get together and break up, don't make trouble too ugly." Pushing Fu Zheng away, Zhuo Lin shook her head. Go out without looking back.
Fu Zheng hurriedly chased after her. He knew that Zhuo Lin was in a fit of anger and did not dare to hold onto her. He did not block Zhuo Lin until the edge of the lawn outside the door.
"What do you have to do to forgive me? As long as you say it, I have nothing to say!" Fu Zheng said solemnly.
Zhuolin chuckled lightly, but water glittered in her eyes.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before reopening them to look at the tall man in front of her, "Enough, Fu Zheng. Marriage was my own choice at the beginning, and now I won't take responsibility for this ending. Throw it all to you. I believe you didn't want to cheat, and I believe you didn't mean to lie to me. But...I can't accept it, do you understand?"
Fu Zheng gritted his teeth: "I can't accept it... After all, you still don't believe me!"
Zhuolin said calmly, "Then do you mind if I find a man to have a baby?"
The expression on Fu Zheng's face was a little distorted, the hands hanging by his side were tightly clenched into fists, and the phalanx creaked.
Zhuolin said lightly: "Look, this is... unacceptable. I'll move out first, and go to the divorce tomorrow."
Seeing that Zhuo Lin was leaving, Fu Zheng stepped forward and hugged her tightly, "Alin, don't go, please..."
Zero Lin wanted to struggle, but she felt dizzy as soon as she moved, and the uncomfortable feeling of vomiting came again. She couldn't push Fu Zheng away with her strength, so she could only retire in Fu Zheng's arms.
Fu Zheng felt a chill in his heart.
"Arlene..."
