Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang
Chapter 236: The No. 21 Scholar’s Wife ()
However, Fu Yayun didn't dare to annoy Zhou Wenqing again, as that would only push him further away, which was not a good idea.
Forget it. I'll deal with that bitch Fu Qingning when I have some free time. Her marriage is still under the control of her mother, and she will never let Fu Qingning marry someone better than herself.
It would be best if he was a butcher in the East Street Vegetable Market, or a lowly official who couldn't even hold his head up.
She wanted Fu Qingning to never cross her path, and the couple would be in disharmony, the children would be in discord, and the grandchildren would be unfilial!
Fu Yayun saw that Zhou Wenqing was absent-minded. She coughed lightly and spoke softly.
"My dear husband, the autumn exam is over. I have been taking care of things at home these past two days. My mother-in-law is doing well recently. However, no matter how busy you are, you must come back to visit my mother-in-law and me."
There was some resentment in her eyes, but she didn't say it out loud. Zhou Wenqing was really good at pretending, so he withdrew his gaze and quickly got into the role.
"Yun'er, I've neglected you. After today, I'll go back home to be with you. How about that?"
Fu Yayun had a smile on her face. She looked at Zhou Wenqing coquettishly and nodded slightly.
"As long as my husband has me in his heart, everything will be fine."
As she spoke, Fu Yayun asked Xiu Wen to bring the prepared chicken soup. She placed it next to Zhou Wenqing and whispered.
"This is the chicken soup I made especially for you. Come and try it. It used to be your favorite."
Xiu Wen's face stiffened slightly. She lowered her eyes and stroked her arm which was burned while making soup. Her expression was puzzled, but her hands under her large sleeves were clenched tightly.
She had been cooking the chicken soup for several hours, and the young lady took it to please her brother-in-law.
She knew in her heart that she was not worthy of her handsome son-in-law.
However, Fu Yayun's behavior made Xiu Wen inexplicably unhappy.
A hint of mockery flashed in Zhou Wenqing's eyes. How could he not know that Fu Yayun didn't know how to cook, and sometimes she was just too lazy to care.
But that doesn't mean he is a fool.
The girl threw herself into his arms. She carried the strong scent of jasmine. However, compared to the mood he had when he first married her, it seemed that something had slowly changed.
Zhou Wenqing stroked Fu Yayun's cheek and said softly, "Yun'er, thank you for your hard work. Since it is your sincere love, I naturally cannot let you down."
As they talked, the two walked to the tea room hand in hand. Fu Yayun personally served him chicken soup. Looking at the golden chicken soup in the bowl, Zhou Wenqing's appetite was whetted and he drank two bowls of chicken soup.
He praised, "Yun'er's cooking skills are getting better and better. It's my blessing to marry a beauty like you who is both capable of housework and cooking."
Fu Yayun's cheeks blushed when she was praised, and her previous dissatisfaction disappeared. She was only looking forward to Zhou Wenqing's liking for her with satisfaction.
"As long as you like it."
That night, Fu Yayun stayed at Bailu Academy. Under the moon and flowers, the atmosphere was very good. Zhou Wenqing reluctantly had sex with her.
The moonlight was cold, falling on the two of them like a thin veil. After a passionate lovemaking session, Fu Yayun felt overwhelmed and fainted from exhaustion.
Zhou Wenqing held Fu Yayun's waist, his slender fingers caressing her skin, as if feeling her warmth and softness. However, his eyes were thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.
He stared at Fu Yayun quietly, looking at her closed eyes and slightly trembling eyelashes, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
He remembered her when he first met her. At that time, she was still a little bit spoiled and willful, but now she has become so gentle and obedient.
This change made him lose his sense of novelty.

It has been two months since Minister Fu left home, and the main courtyard has not stopped providing medicine. Shen was filled with anger, but had no way to vent it.
She ordered people to investigate the whereabouts of Minister Fu, but found nothing. While Shen was guessing in her heart, she received new information that someone had seen Minister Fu in a house in the north of the city.
I heard that Minister Fu was accompanied by a child of five or six years old, and also by a beautiful woman.
When the nanny brought the news back, Shen was so angry that she threw all the cups and expensive vases in the room to the ground.
The maidservant said with some distress, "Madam, you broke these things, and you still have to pay for it yourself. Why bother? We are not well off right now."
In order to be a good daughter-in-law, Shen not only used the money she had to fill the Marquis's Mansion over the years, but also spent a lot of money to please the old lady.
During this period of time, she spent some money to deal with Fu Yayun's matter. The old lady took back the housekeeper's power, and she really had no way to get the money.
Shen felt a little aggrieved and said this with deep sorrow.
"I gave birth to children for my master and took care of his household affairs, but I didn't receive any love from him. He kept a little goblin outside to avoid me. I am really heartbroken."
This matter cannot be made public yet. If there really is a mistress, she can only resolve the matter quietly.
If the matter gets out of hand and the old lady knows about the existence of that bitch mother and son, then I will be left with nothing!
Shen had been enjoying great success over the years. Not only had she risen to power, but she had also made a complete comeback. She thought that the past was far away.
However, too many times, the Shen family was on high alert, but this time, someone took advantage of the loophole.
"Liu'er, go to Yanliu Lane in the east of the city and investigate for me. I want to know the truth of this matter. Does the master have a concubine?"
Liu'er was specifically assigned to gather information for her. She was Shen's go-to informant. In the capital, there was nothing she couldn't find out as long as it was something she wanted to know.
It's just a matter of spending some money, which is not a big deal. However, the matter of the mistress is of great importance, so it must be investigated thoroughly.
"Yes, I will inquire more about it. However, my lady, I am a little short of money recently... Can you give me some money in advance?"
If it were any other time, Shen would have naturally scolded her and kicked Liu'er out, but now that she needed help, she naturally couldn't mobilize so many people.
Shen gave Liu'er three taels of silver with a sullen face, then sat down on the chaise longue with a bad look on her face. The nanny beside her gently shook the folding fan in her hand and comforted her.
"Madam, you are a blessed person. Those who stand in your way will eventually come back to bite you. You don't have to worry too much."
The nanny's words made Shen feel a little relieved. She only needed to wait for news from Liu'er before she could feel truly at ease.

Situ Jin brought Shi Qing back to his house, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then turned to leave.
Shi Qing bowed slightly towards him and saluted.
"Thank you, Lord Situ, for saving me today. Qingning is very grateful."
Situ Jin didn't like her arrogant look. She looked like a puppet and was not likable at all. It would be better if she was more playful and lovable.
"After using her, she distances herself from me. Miss Fu is really hard to understand."
Shi Qing raised her eyebrows and coughed lightly, then took out a tael of silver from her lapel. She gritted her teeth and gave the silver ingot to Situ Jin. The expression on her face became a little more lively, as if she was reluctant to part with it.
"Thank you for your help today, Lord Situ. This is a token of my gratitude. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, please feel free to ask."
After saying that, he stuffed the silver ingot into the hands of Situ Jin. This man was extremely sinister and had a reputation for being unlucky in marriage. Shi Qing thought it would be better for them to keep out of each other's way.
Situ Jin frowned unhappily and proudly stuffed the silver ingot back to Shi Qing.
"If anyone needs these, it would be a good idea to give them as a thank you gift."
As he spoke, Situ Jin's slender fingers passed over Shi Qing's face, took off the crabapple flower pinned on her bun, and played with it in his hand.
Shi Qing's black hair was loose, and he looked gentle and lovely, but his almond-shaped eyes were frowned unhappily, as if he was a little dissatisfied.
"The Begonia hairpin is quite nice. Consider it a thank you gift."
Mingyue originally thought that Situ Jin was quite reliable, but who knew that he actually wanted to snatch the young lady's hairpin, and the little maid was immediately unhappy.
"Master Situ, the hairpin is a token of love. If you take it away, our young lady Yunying will remain unmarried. What will we do if people misunderstand us?"
After saying that, he wanted to snatch the hairpin back. Although Mingyue looked delicate, she was very strong.
Situ Jin looked thin, but he avoided Mingyue without leaving a trace and put the hairpin into his sleeve. He looked at the master and servant calmly and said calmly.
"Don't panic. Just now, your young lady told Master Zhou about her marriage to me, but I didn't pursue the matter. Now it's just a hairpin, and you, a little maid, are so persistent?"
Mingyue coughed lightly, "After all, it's not easy for women. My Lord is in a high position of power, and with the Situ family's protection, he naturally doesn't know how difficult it is for my young lady. Reputation is very important to her."
Situ Jin secretly thought, wasn't his reputation also ruined by this girl Fu Qingning?
But when he met Shi Qing's clear eyes, Situ Jin felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, and his tone changed inadvertently.
"When Miss Fu gets married, I will personally return the Begonia Hairpin. Grandfather likes Miss Fu very much, and he will definitely give her a dowry when the time comes."
However, Situ Jin did not know that his words would come true. Now that he had taken the little girl's hairpin, he would personally put it on her next year.
After saying that, Situ Jin strode onto the carriage and left the Fu family.
Mingyue was still a little angry, "Miss, Master Situ is obviously the most polite person, why is it different here?"
Shi Qing raised her eyebrows. She didn't understand, "Perhaps Master Situ has taken a fancy to my Begonia hairpin?"
Thinking about how she spent more than ten taels of silver on this Begonia hairpin, and it was taken away by Situ Jin, she felt a little sad.
However, she was not embarrassed to use the hairpin to do someone else's favor by taking advantage of the other person's reputation.
Mingyue, “…”
After returning to Youlan Courtyard, Shi Qing washed up first, then lay down on the chaise longue and prepared to take a nap.
Mingyue knocked on the door gently, and after receiving a response, she walked from behind the bead curtain into the inner room.
The girl on the bed was bathed in moonlight, her skin was fair and translucent, and she looked very beautiful.
"Miss, you asked me to keep an eye on the maidservant next to Shen Shi a few days ago. I got some news. Would you like to hear it?"
Shi Qing stood up slowly and nodded slightly.
"Okay, it doesn't hurt to listen."
Mingyue found a small wooden stool and sat down, with an excited look on her face, and she chuckled.
"The master has been away from home recently. Shen Shi learned that the master was avoiding her, so she sent someone to follow him. They unexpectedly saw the master's secret mistress in Yanliu Lane in the east of the city.
I heard that the concubine's child is already five years old, no wonder the master is not anxious about having an heir."
Shi Qing raised her eyebrows. If she remembered correctly, this was not the original arrangement.
It seems that not only Mingyue's information was misleading, but Shen was also misled.
【Tuanzi, online! 】
The system's mechanical sound rang out, and Tuanzi's clear childish voice appeared.
[The handsome Dumpling-sama has appeared. What does the host need? ]
Shi Qing told Tuanzi the current plot, but Tuanzi laughed wildly.
[The host's guess was correct. The information Shen received was misleading. Furthermore, Minister Fu is infertile and cannot possibly have a child out of wedlock. The child was found by the old lady from the clan and has nothing to do with Minister Fu.]
However, this child has a great background.
Tuanzi concealed this sentence because the plot had not yet progressed to the later stage. If he revealed the spoiler, the Lord God would definitely punish him.
It felt aggrieved and could only secretly find an opportunity to remind Shi Qing.
Shi Qing got a definite answer, and the plan in her mind had already taken shape. Shen had set up a scheme to kill the original owner's mother. This time, she would personally frame Shen to make her collapse and go crazy.
Shi Qing raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly, as if this matter did not affect her mood at all. She frowned and spoke softly.
"It's not like someone comes to give me a pillow just when I doze off. It's quite a coincidence. If that's the case, I can make good use of it."
Looking at Shi Qing's confident look, Tuanzi knew that the host had already thought of a countermeasure. It seemed that this scene was becoming more and more exciting. Tuanzi was looking forward to the subsequent plot.
That night, Liu'er left the Shangshu Mansion and quietly went to inquire about the news. After a while, she got the news from the pawnshop.
It turned out that the woman in Yanliu Lane just lived there, and her meeting with their master was a coincidence. It must have been a misunderstanding.
But Liu'er always insisted on evidence when doing things. She wanted to see it with her own eyes. The money given by the mistress was not small, so she had to do a good job when she took the money.
In the Yanliu Lane, thick smoke could be seen billowing not far away.
Minister Fu came back from the teahouse and had a drink. He had been lying down for some time, ignoring state affairs, and his mood had improved a lot.
In the past, he regarded Shen as a beautiful woman who could talk to people, but beautiful women also had something to ask for, and the wine in his wine bag was not as good as the one that could relieve his sorrow.
At this moment, a voice came from the house across from him, "Oh no, there's a fire, help!"
Although Minister Fu had some personal flaws while serving as an official in the court, he could be considered a good official. When he heard someone calling for help, he sobered up for a moment and walked towards the house opposite with a staggering step.
He vaguely remembered that they were an orphan and a widowed mother, and they had only met twice during that period. He only remembered that the child was very cute.
He was holding a bucket of water and shouting, "Oh no! Come and help!"
As he spoke, Minister Fu had already rushed to the courtyard opposite. The woman who had originally called for help was lying on the ground with her eyes closed. The child beside her called out nervously.
"Mother Wang, please don't let anything happen to you."
The child cried, his eyes were bloodshot.
Minister Fu comforted the little boy, "Child, let's go find a doctor to check her out. She should be fine. Quickly pack up and follow me out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fire became even more intense.
