Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Zhuo Lin and Fu Zheng walked all the way to the capital, but the road was very quiet. Zhuo Lin was a little surprised. In her impression, Fu Zheng talked a lot.

"Don't you have anything to ask?" Zhuo Lin said.

Fu Zheng was silent for a while and asked, "If I don't come, will you really commit suicide?"

Zhuo Lin smiled and said, "Of course not. Why would I commit suicide when I am living well? Of course I would just grab the carriage and run away. There were people from the Sheng family around me at the time. How could I run away without scaring them?"

Fu Zheng didn't answer. The two of them drove in the wind for a long time before they heard Fu Zheng's voice coming from behind, "Can you drive a carriage? What's the difference between a novice driving away and committing suicide?"

Zhuo Lin smiled and said nothing. She had to admit that there was indeed a moment when she had the thought of simply dying. After all, she is only an eighteen-year-old girl. When she is angry, she will inevitably have some extreme thoughts in her heart, but this only lasts for a moment.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Zhuo Lin asked.

Fu Zhengdao, "What are you afraid of?"

Zhuo Lin said: "For example, being unfilial to parents, disrespecting brothers, being bold, being treasonous, etc." What she did today can indeed be called treasonous in the eyes of many people.

Fu Zhengdao: "You did a good job."

"very good?"

"Very good, at least now I believe you can really protect yourself." People who are not cruel enough cannot survive in this world independently. If it were an ordinary lady being forced to get married by her parents, Fu Zheng would not have any idea at all, because in his opinion, most women in this era simply do not have the ability to survive independently.

The so-called struggle, the so-called pursuit of freedom, does not end well.

But he really believed that Zhuo Lin could live a good life no matter where she was.

However, with such a character... Fu Zheng frowned slightly and had to admit that as a woman, Zhuo Lin's character was a bit too strong, even though she clearly looked like a weak and beautiful woman. But perhaps it is precisely because of her personality that she appears particularly dazzling and charming.

"Arlin, will you marry me?" Fu Zheng suddenly said.

Zhuo Lin was startled and couldn't help turning her head to look at the man behind her.

Fu Zhengdao said, "As long as we get married, your mother will no longer be able to control your marriage."

Zhuo Lin smiled and said: "Are you so sure that my mother will not come to trouble you again? You are not the son-in-law she wants." Zhuo Lin studied at Anlan University and naturally heard of the Fu family. Although the Fu family is not short of money, they are only a small wealthy family and are by no means the kind of relatives Mrs. Sheng expected.

As for Fu Zheng himself, although he is also an outstanding young officer, he is nothing more than that.

In troubled times, life is like a straw. Someone who is unlucky may die on the battlefield tomorrow. It is not an exaggeration to say that the future is uncertain.

Fu Zhengdao, "So, let's get married immediately, won't she have no chance to trouble me?" As long as the rice is cooked, what can Mrs. Sheng do if she is dissatisfied?

"Besides, I think she's frightened by you. Even if she still wants to cause trouble for you, I'm afraid she'll have to wait a few days."

Zhuo Lin shook her head: "Forget it, I won't bother you if I have a lot of trouble myself."

Fu Zheng smiled and said, "As long as you don't get married for a day, your mother will never give up. But... apart from marrying me, don't think about finding anyone else to use as a shield for you."

Zhuo Lin said strangely, "Why should I find someone to use as a shield? Can't I get married seriously?"

Fu Zhengdao said, "That's even worse. I can only follow me."

"..."

"By the way, you haven't said why you are still in the capital?" Zhuo Lin asked, remembering her previous question.

Fu Zhengdao said, "I said I would pursue you. Of course I won't leave until I catch you."

"Are you crazy? Violating military regulations is a capital offense." Zhuo Lin was shocked. There are strict rules in the army. If you fail to return after the deadline, you will be treated as a deserter.

Fu Zheng chuckled, and Zhuo Lin understood immediately, "Are you lying to me?"

"..."

When Fu Zheng and Zhuo Lin returned to Beijing University, someone was waiting for her. Fu Zheng looked a little ugly when she saw him, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Zhu smiled and nodded at Zhuo Lin before answering Fu Zheng's question, "Of course I'm waiting for Arin."

Fu Zheng's expression turned even more ugly. When had Xiao Zhu become so familiar with her that he could call her Arlin?

Xiao Zhu didn't care about Fu Zheng's face, "Arlin, are you okay?"

Zhuo Lin smiled and said: "I didn't expect that a little thing would alarm His Majesty. Why is Your Majesty here?"

Xiao Zhu said: "Brother Fu and I were together in the morning. He left in a hurry and I had to wait here." At this point, Xiao Zhu looked at Zhuo Lin with a somewhat guilty look. Although he knew that something had happened to Zhuo Lin, he was not alone. As an emperor, you cannot act rashly. Because once he takes action, he will definitely cause more trouble to Zhuo Lin than what Zhuo Lin encountered today.

Xiao Zhu thought for a while and asked, "If Arin wants to avoid the Sheng family, would you like to go abroad for a while?"

Zhuo Lin was moved for a moment. She had also had this idea during this period, although it was somewhat different from her original plan. But thinking that she was only halfway through her studies, Zhuo Lin didn't want to give up halfway.

After pondering for a moment, Zhuo Lin shook her head and said, "Forget it for now. Your Majesty, please don't worry about it. I have ways to deal with these things." In fact, if something unexpected happened today, Mrs. Sheng would not be able to take Zhuo Lin away. Since this incident has made her wiser, Zhuo Lin will naturally not let such a thing happen again.

Xiao Zhu just nodded when he heard this, not reluctantly.

On the other hand, Fu Zheng next to him secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want Zhuo Lin to go abroad now. Thousands of miles away, he couldn't go out with Zhuo Lin. Who knew what would happen abroad?

The Sheng family did not show up again for the next two days. Zhuo Lin recorded all the expenses she had spent in the Sheng family over the years, multiplied by two, and sent the bill directly to the Sheng family in the south.

Although the Sheng family's girls spent far less than their son, and Zhuo Lin did not take away any of the Sheng family's jewelry and money when she left home, it was still a considerable amount of money.

After writing down the bill, Zhuo Lin began to think about her work again. After all, you have to make money before you can pay it back, right? If the money is not repaid, Zhuo Lin will not be qualified to say that she can completely leave the Sheng family.

Without the obstruction of Mrs. Sheng and the recommendation of the school professor, Zhuo Lin quickly found a new job. It was also because of this that she vaguely knew that the Sheng family had left the capital and gone to the Northeast, apparently rushing to attend Long Xiao's wedding.

Because Zhuo Lin became famous in the capital as a translator for the Duchess of Sassi, now Zhuo Lin can also receive a lot of translation work in the capital.

Her Ilya and Sasi languages ​​were both excellent. Not only did she do text translation work, but from time to time, people would ask her to translate business negotiations, so Zhuo Lin started to get busy again.

Fu Zheng still comes to Zhuo Lin often as before.

Now the whole capital knows that Fu Zheng is pursuing Zhuo Lin.

Under Fu Zheng's strong blow, the original suitors retreated one after another, and the original tranquility returned to Zhuo Lin, except for... Fu Zheng.

Zhuo Lin was used to Fu Zheng's presence and didn't feel bothered. After all, Fu Zheng was handsome and heroic, and he was indeed the type she admired. Although he is a bit tough, he is not annoying. Fu Zheng even talked about getting married in her ears every day, but Zhuo Lin was so used to hearing it that she didn't bother to refute it. Sometimes she even felt that getting married was nothing.

Occasionally, Fu Zheng would go back to the south to do business and not show up for several days, which made Zhuo Lin feel a little uncomfortable.

In the blink of an eye, it was August. Zhuo Lin had just returned from the post office and smelled the strong fragrance of osmanthus wafting from the campus before she walked into the school gate.

She just remitted this month's money back to the Sheng family.

Three months ago, she received a reply from her father. In the reply, her father told how angry her mother was after she returned, how much the family had sold to donate official posts to brother Shanda, and to pay off the debts of second brother. He also talked about how much his nephews were about to enter school and how much it would cost, how much the entire Sheng family needed to spend every day, how much the mother was worried about, and so on.

The letter never mentioned the bill, and Zhuo Lin didn't care and just regarded it as their acquiescence.

After that, Zhuo Lin would send 70% of her income back to the Sheng family on time every month, and the Sheng family never returned it. Zhuo Lin naturally assumed that her parents had agreed to this repayment method.

Zhuo Lin's current income is actually not low. She works as an editor, translator, writes articles for newspapers and publishing houses, and works as a translator for some companies. Her monthly income is even slightly higher than that of a professor at Beijing University.

According to her plan, her income will continue to rise in the future, and she will be more comfortable when she completes her studies and can work full-time. It is expected that all the money will be paid off within three years.

Only then can she really think about the future.

After flicking the sweet-scented osmanthus that had fallen from nowhere on her shoulder, Zhuo Lin looked up and saw a person standing at the school gate. She couldn't help but be startled and paused at her feet.

Fu Zheng was leaning lazily against the wall at the school entrance. His coat was casually draped in his arms, and his long sleeves were rolled up to his wrists. He looked a bit unruly.

Seeing Zhuo Lin approaching, Fu Zhengcai stood up straight and waved to her.

When he stood up straight, he looked a little taller. There was no one at the school gate at the moment, otherwise there would be a large group of people looking up to him even in the north.

Zhuo Lin walked over and said in confusion, "Why are you here? Why don't you go back to celebrate the festival?" Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the school has already closed a day early. Those who will stay in school are people like Zhuo Lin who are not in the capital and have no relatives to reunite with for the holidays. The professor and several classmates invited Zhuo Lin to their home for the holidays, but she declined them all.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for reunions, so what's the point of being an outsider involved in it?

Fu Zhengdao: "I told my mother that I would come to the capital."

"Mrs. Fu, don't you mind?" How could Fu Zheng, a mother who was away from home all year round and run around during the holidays, not mind?

Fu Zheng smiled and said, "I told her that I wanted to spend the holidays with her future daughter-in-law."

"..." Zhuo Lin was helpless, but she didn't refute.

She has known Fu Zheng for almost half a year. If she really didn't like him at all, it would be impossible for Fu Zheng to hang around her for so long. After coming to the capital for so long, many people have confessed to her, but there is no one who can hang around her for such a long time as Fu Zheng.

Of course, this is also related to Fu Zheng's ability to withstand blows and his extremely thick skin.

Zhuo Lin only hesitated for a moment, but Fu Zheng saw the difference in an instant.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. As an excellent general, Fu Zheng is naturally good at observing and grasping the situation.

"If you don't object, I'll take it as your promise? Why don't we get married now?" Fu Zhengxing said hurriedly.

Zhuo Lin was speechless, "What are you thinking about? Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Fu Zheng was stunned and patted his forehead with some regret, "Yeah, I almost forgot about today's holiday. Then tomorrow..."

Zhuo Lin couldn't help but roll her eyes, took out a piece of moon cake and put it in his hand and said: "It's getting late, go back to sleep, you can have everything in your dreams."

Fu Zheng happily took the moon cake and said, "You promised anyway and you can't go back on it. If it doesn't work tomorrow... no, I will send a telegram to my family tomorrow and ask my parents to come to the capital."

Zhuo Lin was a little strange, "What are you doing in the capital?"

Fu Zhengdao, "Don't you still want to study? It's quite troublesome to go back and forth. Let's get married in the capital. Don't worry, my parents are very easy to talk to and will never embarrass you."

In fact, at Fu Zheng's age, all children in Jiangnan should go to school. If they want to get married now, as long as they have a clean family background and good health, the Fu family really have no other requirements.

"..." Looking at the man in front of her who was thinking excitedly, Zhuo Lin suddenly had no intention of refusing.

Fu Zheng worked extremely quickly, and the Fu family and his wife had arrived in the capital half a month later.

Regarding Zhuo Lin, his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Fu was a little bit critical because she wanted to stay in the capital, but Mrs. Fu was very satisfied.

Mrs. Fu herself was married to Yongcheng from the southwest, and she knew very well the hardship of not being able to rely on her parents' family while away from home. In addition, Zhuo Lin is good-looking and is a rare "female champion". Mrs. Fu, who has always regretted that her son does not like to study, is even more satisfied with this future daughter-in-law who can read.

Although my son doesn't like reading, having a daughter-in-law who can read will prevent my grandson from growing up to be a big fat man in the future.

Regarding Zhuo Lin's intention to stay in the capital for further study and work, Mrs. Fu fully agreed, but only hinted insinuating that Fu Zheng was not young and should have a child earlier.

Regarding this...Zhuo Lin, who had never even had a relatively intimate move with someone, expressed a bit of embarrassment.

In fact, until now, she is still not sure whether her decision to marry Fu Zheng was the right one.

However, Zhuo Lin was moved by the two old people's profound righteousness. Fu Zheng said that the old people in the family didn't need her to worry about, so there really was nothing for her to worry about. This also makes Zhuo Lin, whose family is not very happy, somewhat envious.
