Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Xiao Zhu was very fast, and within two days he found out the origin of the man who intended to disfigure Zhuo Lin.

The truth is very tacky and unoriginal. A certain family who was determined to win the position of queen took advantage of Wenxin'er's impulsive and violent temper to instigate her to get into trouble with Zhuo Lin, and then had people sneak into the scene to wait for an opportunity to strike.

If Fu Zheng hadn't come to the rescue, everyone would have been frightened at that time, and if the other party took advantage of it and took the opportunity to escape, this matter would really have happened to Wen Xin'er.

In the end, the other party naturally got the punishment he deserved, and Zhuo Lin was not disturbed after receiving this news. However, Xiao Zhu publicly stated that the queen had just passed away and he had no plans to marry again and have a family in the short term.

Although some veterans strongly objected because His Majesty did not have an heir, Xiao Zhu was very open-minded and said that he was not yet thirty. Besides, even if there was really no heir, the royal family is flourishing now and there is no shortage of an heir.

As soon as these words came out, it naturally caused a sensation in both the government and the public, and people's attention immediately shifted. Except for a few people who were truly loyal to the emperor and interested in the position of queen, many people turned their attention to the younger princes and grandchildren.

The dignitaries in the court became busy, and since they were reclusive, all the people who found trouble with Zhuo Lin disappeared without a trace.

But Zhuo Lin still had no rest, and the chance of her meeting Fu Zheng rose to an outrageous level in a short period of time.

Zhuo Lin just came out of the publishing house that day, and stopped as soon as she walked out.

Looking at the tall man leaning against the pillar at the door, Zhuo Lin couldn't help but sigh.

"Mr. Fu."

Fu Zheng smiled and said, "Are you off work?"

Zhuo Lin said: "Mr. Fu stopped by the publishing house again today?"

Of course Fu Zheng also knew that this reason was quite nonsense, "How could it be? I came here specially to wait for Miss Zhuo to get off work."

Zhuo Lin said, "I still have something to do."

Fu Zhengdao, "If you have something to do, you have to eat. It's already six o'clock in the afternoon."

Zhuo Lin stopped walking forward and turned around to face Fu Zhengdao, "Mr. Fu, I don't believe you don't know that most girls are rejecting you when they say something is wrong."

Fu Zheng sighed and walked to Zhuo Lin, "Why did you reject me?"

Zhuo Lin said: "Do I need a reason to reject you?"

Fu Zheng nodded, "I understand."

Zhuo Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and the next second she heard Fu Zhengdao, "You are in a bad mood today, I will come back tomorrow."

"..." Zhuo Lin took a deep breath, "Mr. Fu, are you very free? I remember that you are not from the capital."

Fu Zhengdao, "Yes, but I have been studying and training in the capital these few months." He is now the most important young general under the governor of Jiangzhou, and this time he was also ordered to come to the military academy in the capital for further training.

Zhuo Lin said: "I will not leave the capital in the short term."

Fu Zheng blinked rarely, as if he didn't quite understand what Zhuo Lin meant.

Zhuo Lin turned around and walked out, saying to Fu Zheng who was following him, "I don't want to act stupid and show that I don't know what Mr. Fu means, but... we are not suitable. First, I have no ideas in this regard at the moment. , whether it is a romantic night or marriage. Secondly, it is impossible for me to leave the capital, and it is obviously impossible for Mr. Fu to stay in the capital. Thirdly..."

"What's third?" Fu Zheng didn't take the first and second seriously, but was more interested in what Zhuo Lin said next.

Zhuo Lin said, "I don't like Mr. Fu's type, and I don't think Mr. Fu likes my type. Hue can only deceive people for a moment, but Mr. Fu will understand after time."

Fu Zheng was dissatisfied, "Why do you say which type I like? And, which one do you like? Xiao Zhu's kind?"

Zhuo Lin raised her eyebrows lightly, noncommittal.

Fu Zheng raised his hands and hugged his neck and walked beside Zhuo Lin while saying, "What do you think of your eyes? What is there to like about a weakling like Xiao Zhu?"

Zhuo Lin corrected her, "He is a humble gentleman."

Fu Zheng sneered at this, "Gentleman? You haven't seen that guy's schemer, have you? He's more like a hypocrite."

Zhuo Lin was helpless, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Fu Zhengdao, "You have poor vision! Xiao Zhu has a lot of messy things that he can't solve. Do you think he can be with you? I'm different. I'm clean and have no trouble. I can help you with anything. . It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to leave the capital, I can come to the capital.”

Zhuo Lin laughed and looked at him, "Are you going to work for His Majesty as his subordinate?" She didn't know why, but when she thought of Fu Zheng treating Xiao Zhu respectfully and respectfully, she felt it was very inconsistent.

"..." Fu Zheng thought about it carefully and realized that this was wrong. If he and Xiao Zhu were love rivals, wouldn't he be inferior if he came to the capital?

After thinking for a while, Fu Zheng raised his head and said, "If you think my status is low, give me some time to wait until I kill Xue Huaiming before you propose marriage?"

"..." Zhuo Lin was speechless. She didn't even know how the topic of her conversation with him ended up in asking for marriage. as well as……

"Is it okay to say this casually?" If it reaches the ears of the Governor of Jiangzhou, Fu Zheng can die first.

Fu Zheng smiled and said: "I believe you, even if I die in your hands, I will be happy."

"..."

Zhuo Lin suddenly felt that this smile was a bit too dazzling. In terms of appearance, Fu Zheng was definitely not bad, but compared with Xiao Zhu, he was still a little more rough and a little less refined and elegant like the royal family.

But such a tall and heroic man has a heroism and appeal that the children of the royal family and aristocratic families like Xiao Zhu and Zhang Bi do not have.

One is as bright as the moon in the night sky, but the other is as bright as the sun at noon.

Since talking to Fu Zheng, Zhuo Lin found that Fu Zheng did not retreat despite the difficulties, but appeared in front of her more frequently.

Fu Zheng is currently studying at the Martial Arts Hall in Beijing. The school is not far from Beijing University. The people who come here to study are promising young officers from all over the country. The studies are not stressful, so Fu Zheng has quite a lot of time.

Zhuo Lin was helpless about this.

On the other hand, Zhuo Lin is in a lot of trouble herself, because she was so popular in the capital before, but now more people come to court her.

Originally, everyone was worried about whether His Majesty had any thoughts about Zhuo Lin, but since His Majesty said that he had no plans to establish a wife or concubine in the short term, others naturally no longer had such concerns.

It wasn't that Zhuo Lin couldn't handle these young talents who came to express their love, but she was worried that the Sheng family would come after such a big fight.

"Arlin." Zhuo Lin walked out of the dormitory yard and saw a tall young man in uniform standing under a tree not far away.

She was stunned and walked over, and the other party smiled at her and said, "It's really you."

An idea flashed in Zhuo Lin's mind, "You...are you, the cousin of the Long family?"

The young man smiled calmly and said, "I am Long Xiao. It seems that you have forgotten that we have met before."

Zhuo Lin recalled it carefully and said with a smile, "It was more than ten years ago." She actually didn't remember what Long Xiao looked like at all. After all, it was unlikely that Long Xiao, who was only a teenager more than ten years ago, would be what he is now. It's great that Zhuo Lin, who was only six or seven years old at the time, could remember this incident. Even if she was talented and smart, it was too difficult to remember her appearance.

Long Xiao nodded and said, "When your grandfather passed away twelve years ago, your sister was only eleven years old at that time."

Zhuo Lin looked at Long Xiao without saying a word. Long Xiao seemed to understand what she was worried about and smiled, "Don't worry, the Sheng family doesn't know you are here yet. It's also because your sister wrote a letter at the end of last year asking us to help keep an eye on you. News, it just so happens that during this time..."

Long Xiao looked at her meaningfully, "Arlin, that's good. Your grandfather would definitely be proud of you if he were still alive."

Zhuo Lin smiled helplessly and said, "I almost forgot what my grandfather looked like. Cousin, can I trouble you with something?"

"Don't tell the Sheng family about your whereabouts?" Long Xiao said clearly.

Zhuo Lin nodded, Long Xiao shook his head and said, "If you don't want them to find you, you shouldn't be so high-profile. Although the Sheng family has lived in the south for many years and has no information, it has not been truly isolated from the world. There are still people in the capital. Many of them are old friends. This time you have become famous in one fell swoop, don’t you think the Sheng family will notice?"

Zhuo Lin said, "I want to stay away from the Sheng family, but it's impossible for me to remain anonymous for more than ten years. I still have to go my own way. There's no need for my cousin to do anything. Just don't tell them. If they come to see you, …Let’s talk about it then.”

"Your sister didn't tell you either?" Long Xiao asked.

Zhuo Lin shook her head, "She has enough things to worry about. If she finds out but doesn't tell her family, they will probably blame her again. She can't live with it herself, but it would be better if she didn't know."

Long Xiao looked at Zhuo Lin and sighed, "You and your sister really don't look alike."

Sheng Zhuoyan, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, is a well-known lady in Jiangnan. She has outstanding talents, beautiful appearance, and gentle temperament. She has never made any mistakes in her behavior. On the contrary, Sheng Zhuolin, the second daughter of the Sheng family, has a low reputation. Now it seems that the Sheng family did this deliberately. After all, this master is obviously a deviant at heart.

Zhuo Lin frowned and said, "My sister just thinks too much. She is not in good health to begin with, and she is always worried. I'm just afraid of her..." As the saying goes, extreme wisdom will lead to injury, and deep love will not last long. Outsiders always think that the elder sister of the Sheng family is more worried about the younger sister. In fact, Zhuo Lin started to worry about her elder sister when she was only in her early teens.

She always felt that it was not a good thing for a person to suppress himself too much and think too much.

Long Xiao also knew that his eldest cousin had married into the Wei family, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. The eldest young master of the Wei family was said to be in poor health. Everyone in the Wei family had been hoping that Sheng Zhuoyan would give birth to an heir as soon as possible.

However, Sheng Zhuoyan married into the Wei family and there was no news for several years.

Of course, these were all told by his mother. Long Xiao himself was not familiar with either Sheng Zhuoyan or Sheng Zhuolin. Even the fact that Zhuo Lin ran away from home was only known to him after Sheng Zhuoyan wrote to his cousin, Mrs. Long, and Mrs. Long warned her son.

"Okay, just make sure you know what's going on. I'll be staying in the capital for another month. If you have anything to do, come to me at the Wushu Hall." Long Xiao warned.

Zhuo Lin nodded and thanked her cousin, then heard Long Xiao's voice change and suddenly asked, "By the way, what's going on between you and Fu Zheng?"

Zhuo Lin blinked, "What?"

Long Xiao smiled and said, "How do you think I suspected your identity?" But the name Zhuo Lin was not enough to remind Long Xiao of his cousin whom he had not seen for more than ten years.

"Two days ago, Fu Zheng beat up those who wanted to pursue you in the martial arts hall. Hasn't it been much quieter these two days?" Long Xiao teased with interest.

"..." Zhuo Lin didn't know what expression to put on for a moment. Among the people who blocked her before, there were indeed many young officers from the martial arts hall.

Long Xiao said: "Fu Zheng is now the son-in-law of Chenglong who is favored by the powerful families in the capital. Once he takes action, I don't know how many people will be disappointed."

Zhuo Lin couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't it my cousin too?" The students in this training class at Jiangwu Hall are all young and outstanding generals from all over the world, and Fu Zheng and Long Xiao are the most outstanding figures among them.

Although both of them now have direct bosses, as long as they are willing to stay in the capital, they still have a bright future. Aren't they the quick son-in-law in many people's minds?

Long Xiao shook his head and sighed, "My family has already agreed on each other, and we are going to get married this time when we go back."

"Congratulations to my cousin, I will definitely give you a gift when the time comes." Zhuo Lin said with a smile.

Long Xiao said, "Just a gift? Although we are not familiar with each other, my mother has been talking about you."

Mrs. Long lived in Jiangnan for a while due to health reasons in the early years, and she was very fond of both girls from the Sheng family. Especially Zhuo Lin, who was smart and alert at a young age, couldn't forget her and wished she could take him back to the north to be her daughter.

If not, Mrs. Long would not let Mrs. Long specifically warn her son about a cousin who is thousands of miles away from her.

Zhuo Lin was a little helpless, "I'm afraid the Sheng family will also go. If I go, won't it disturb my cousin's wedding?"

Long Xiao shook his head, "If you are willing to go, no one in the Long family can do anything to you. No... don't change the subject. What is going on between you and Fu Zheng?"

Zhuo Lin said, "It's really nothing."

Long Xiao gave her a "Do you think I believe it?" expression, touched his chin and said, "Actually, Fu Zheng is not bad."

"Where's good?" Zhuo Lin asked.

Long Xiao said: "He is very good at fighting. One person knocks down seven or eight people and only loses a little bit of glory. If it weren't for the fear that they would misunderstand, I would have wanted to compete with him."

Zhuo Lin's heart moved slightly when she heard that Fu Zheng had failed.

Suddenly he blinked and said, "Cousin, do you want to run away first?"

"Run?" Long Xiao was a little confused, "Run for what?"

Zhuo Lin pointed behind him, "Fu Zheng is here, I think he may have mistakenly..." Before she could finish her words, Fu Zheng had already blown to Long Xiao like a gust of wind.

He swung a punch unceremoniously, and Long Xiao quickly leaned back to avoid the punch.

"Fu Zheng, haven't you fought enough?"

Fu Zheng said coldly, "Just stretch your muscles."

Zhuo Lin took a long breath and said quickly, "Stop it! Fu Zheng, he is me..." Before she could finish her words, Long Xiao laughed and said, "Everyone has a love for beauty, what's wrong? Only you can chase me? Has Arlene agreed?"

A-Lin! !

"Long Xiao, you're looking for death!" Fu Zheng snorted coldly, using his fists and kicks with murderous intent.

Everyone was studying in the same place, so naturally he had heard that Long Xiao had been engaged for a long time. There was still talk in the martial arts hall two days ago that Long Xiao was going to get married when he returned from training this time.

I didn't take this guy seriously at first, but I didn't expect that this bastard would dare to lie to Arlene!

Long Xiao parried and said with a smile, "Arlin, what's the use of such a reckless man? Why don't you consider me?"

"..." Zhuo Lin smiled, I will tell my cousin and future cousin-in-law.

The two of them fought from the roadside to the nearby woods. They still felt that their uniforms were in the way, so they took off their coats and threw them to Zhuo Lin next to them.

Zhuo Lin hugged two coats and leaned against the tree trunk, watching the two people fight together. She thought expressionlessly: Let's fight. Only when they are all killed will they be clean.

The fight ended with Fu Zheng slightly gaining the upper hand.

It's not that Long Xiao can't defeat Fu Zheng, but it's not necessary. After all, the two of them don't really have any life-or-death feud.

Of course, Fu Zheng may indeed have a grudge, so he is particularly motivated.

"Is the beating over?" Seeing that both of them were sitting on the ground with no intention of fighting again, Zhuo Lin stood up and asked.

"Arlin..." Fu Zheng turned his head and looked at Zhuo Lin. His face, which was bruised a lot, looked a little pitiful.

Zhuo Lin couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth and looked at Long Xiao.

Long Xiao spread his hands to express that he was fine, reached out to catch the coat thrown by Zhuo Lin and stood up.

He put on his clothes and patted the dust off his body. Except for the bruise at the corner of his mouth, he was still elegant and elegant. "I have an appointment with someone, Arlene. Brother Fu Zheng, see you later?"

Zhuo Lin was speechless. She asked someone for a date with a hurt look on her face. You are really shameless.

Long Xiao walked to Zhuo Lin, chuckled and whispered close to her, "Arlin, will I treat you to coffee another time?"

Although it was a low voice, it was just loud enough for Fu Zheng to hear. It seemed that he was deliberately being heard.

Zhuo Lin looked up at Long Xiao, who smiled meaningfully at her, waved and left.

"..."

There were only two people left in the woods. Zhuo Lin stared at the person sitting on the ground for a while, raised her hand and threw her coat on him, "Get up."

Fu Zheng looked at her and said, "I can't get up."

Zhuo Lin raised her eyebrows slightly, with a somewhat suspicious look on her face.

This wasn't the first time Fu Zheng had played tricks on her.

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Fu Zheng curled his lips in disappointment, "Really, my legs hurt."

"Long Xiao didn't kick your leg just now." Zhuo Lin said.

Fu Zhengdao, "It's not him."

Zhuo Lin immediately remembered Long Xiao's words, Fu Zheng knocked down seven or eight young officers in the martial arts hall. Naturally, those who can enter the martial arts hall are not ordinary characters. It is almost impossible for Fu Zheng to defeat a group of people by himself without getting injured.

Zhuo Lin had a headache for a moment, "Why are you running around if you don't take a good rest when you're injured?"

Fu Zhengdao, "Long Xiao is getting married, don't let him lie to you."

"I know." Zhuo Lin said angrily, "He was joking."

Fu Zheng reached out and touched the injury on his cheekbone, and immediately gasped in pain, "I don't think he is joking. Be careful." Do you need such a heavy hand to joke? That bastard Long Xiao took advantage of his injury to do something evil!

"Can you leave? Do you want to see a doctor?" Zhuo Lin helped him up and asked with a frown.

Fu Zheng tried it, but nodded and said, "It's okay."

Only then did Zhuo Lin feel relieved and said, "Those classmates in the martial arts hall will be either your comrades or your opponents from now on. Don't fight with them casually. You are not an ignorant child anymore."

"Are you worried about me?" Fu Zheng looked down at her and smiled.

Zhuo Lin sneered, "If you have nothing to do, stop thinking about useless things. I'm afraid that if you beat someone to death or you are beaten to death, others will say that I am a beauty."

Fu Zheng was a little disappointed, "Don't you find it annoying? They won't dare to come to you in the future."

Zhuo Lin said, "I find you annoying too, why are you still here?"

Fu Zhengdao said, "That's not possible. You must not have discovered my advantages yet. Just take a closer look."

Zhuo Lin is speechless, I endure it.

Anyway, you have to go back to Jiangnan next month.

Although Fu Zheng is older than herself, Zhuo Lin feels that she cannot understand this kind of male creature that is so blinded by love that its IQ plummets.

When he leaves the capital and feels the inconvenience of being separated by two places and the close proximity of Yingge Yanwu, he will understand how boring it is to be obsessed with ghosts during this period.

Although she didn't agree with Fu Zheng's behavior, Zhuo Lin had to admit that Fu Zheng had indeed helped her a lot.

Since that day, the young officers in the martial arts hall never appeared in front of her again.

When the children of the aristocratic families in the capital heard that Zhuo Lin had such a fierce suitor, they all backed down. After all, beauty is very important, but if someone breaks a bone with a punch, the gain outweighs the loss.

As for the few who insist on retreating, Zhuo Lin can definitely handle it on her own.

In the blink of an eye, the time for Fu Zheng and other young officers to study in the capital was over. Long Xiao came one day in advance to say goodbye to Zhuo Lin and invited her to attend his wedding in the four northern provinces.

Zhuo Lin could only regretfully decline and gave the wedding gift she had prepared to Long Xiao in advance.

After Long Xiao left, Fu Zheng, who was hiding in the dark, came out. Looking at someone's retreating back, he snorted twice, and the air was filled with sourness.

How long has it been since these two people have reached the point of giving gifts? ! Although it was a wedding gift, Fu Zheng was still not very happy. He had not even received Arlene's gift.

Zhuo Lin was in a good mood and didn't care about him, "Are you here to say goodbye too? I wish you a safe journey?"

Fu Zheng secretly felt lucky, glared at Zhuo Lin and said, "I'm leaving, don't you have any indication?"

Zhuo Lin thought for a while, someone saved her, and although it made her a little annoyed during this period, it did help her. It was appropriate to send a parting gift, but thinking of Mr. Fu's unknown thoughts, Zhuo Lin said coldly, "No."

"You woman..." Fu Zheng was very depressed. Although he had never been in love before, he was from a wealthy family and had a smooth journey after joining the army. Fu Zheng still knew his conditions. Even if a bunch of girls pounced on her without hooking up, it's not like he was still indifferent after chasing her for so long, right?

The bees and butterflies of all kinds of beauties in the capital are proof of this.

Fu Zhengdao: "You already gave Long Xiao a gift, why don't you give it to me? Don't we have a better relationship than him?"

"..." He is my cousin, are you?

Zhuo Lin sighed, "Mr. Fu, please look at your age and stop pretending that you are still an ignorant child, okay?"

"You think I'm too old?!" Fu Zheng was greatly shocked.

Zhuo Lin said, "You can say that." It is indeed quite big.

Age is something that cannot be changed without regrets.

It's been nearly thirty years since he was born, and he can't be stuffed back into his mother's belly to be born again.

"..." Fu Zheng walked away feeling disappointed.

Zhuo Lin looked at his bleak back and blinked, was the blow so big?

After looking at someone's leaving figure for a long time, Zhuo Lin couldn't help but chuckle.
