After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure Chapter 226 – You’re really good

These words caused the expressions of the servant girls present to change, especially those that Fu Wenzheng had brought from the Fu family.

They couldn’t wait to cover her mouth.

Could these words be said so carelessly?

Even if they thought so, they wouldn’t say it like that.

Otherwise, if the words spread, their young lady would be in trouble.

She immediately warned the servant girls, “After you leave the house, all of you must forget what I have just said.”

She added even more ruthlessly, “If anyone were to spread the word, not only will you die, but your entire family will also perish.”

Fu Wenzheng’s mind became clearer after seeing her servant girls’ response.

She snorted coldly and said, “That’s right, if anyone dares to spread the word of what I said today, they will be waiting for the death of their entire family.”

She had done this kind of thing before.

She would just hand it over to the second prince.

The servant girls present naturally knew what kind of master they were serving.

One after another, their faces changed and they knelt down. “I dare not, madam!”

The servant girl who lit the incense also knelt down with her head lowered.

The corners of her lips curled up into a mocking smile, and her eyes were filled with hatred.

Indeed, they would not spread the word.

However, if the third prince heard it himself, it would not concern them.

Her elder sister had once been a servant girl to Fu Wenzheng in the marquisdom.

Not sure how she had offended Fu Wenzheng, but she was whipped to death by Fu Wenzheng.

In addition, a fire was also set at her family’s house.

Her father, mother, and younger brother had all been burned to death.

If she had not gone out to relieve herself in the middle of the night, she would have also been burned to death.

Later on, she had concealed her identity and sold herself to the marquisdom as a servant girl for revenge.

She had also entered the third prince’s residence together with Fu Wenzheng’s marriage.

In the next few years, she found out that it was Fu Wenzheng who had asked their second young master to do it.

Just like today, when Fu Wenzheng and her threatened the other servant girls, she wasn’t just saying it casually, she would definitely dare to take action.

She wished that she could tear Fu Wenzheng into thousands of pieces.

She only hoped that the third prince would not be so useless.

“It’s really unlucky to be married into the third prince’s residence.”

Fu Wenzheng felt a little dizzy.

She stood up and said, “Help me wash up.”

“Yes!” Her personal servant immediately went forward.

The third prince was standing in the shadow of the door.

If one didn’t look carefully, it would be difficult to notice him.

Because of this, be it Fu Wenzheng or the other maids, none of them knew that the third prince had heard what they had just said.

Liang Hengxiao’s face was ashen.

He stood at the door with his hands clenched into fists.

He was the child of a palace maid and his mother had died in childbirth, so he was never taken seriously in the palace.

He was often bullied and treated coldly by the eunuchs.

He remembered that there was a day where the weather was particularly cold, he wore very thin clothes and his hands were full of frostbite.

It was not within his expectation that someone would send him a handheld stove.

A few days later, he even received a bottle of frostbite cream, his only source of warmth.

Hence, he still remembered that warmth in his heart.

He married Fu Wenzheng because of that warmth and he wanted to cherish her more.

It was undeniable that Fu Wenzheng’s family background did affect his status a little, but the reason he wanted that position was mainly because of her.

He hoped that she would not be manipulated by others in the future.

After all, she was so proud and flamboyant.

He really did not expect that the truth of the past would be so unbearable.

He had mistaken the person who had warmed him since that day.

No wonder Fu Wenzheng did not allow him to touch her.

He wanted to respect her, so he really did not have the impulse to touch her.

After hearing Fu Wenzheng’s words now, although he was very angry, he actually let out an inexplicable sigh of relief.

His heart did not ache.

So all these years, he might have been lying to himself about how much he liked her.

Otherwise, why would he have no other thoughts other than anger.

He closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, he walked forward and kicked the door open.

The people inside were all shocked.

Fu Wenzheng saw Liang Hengxiao’s ashen face and asked guiltily, “You, why are you here?”

Liang Hengxiao looked at her calmly. “I heard everything you said just now.”

Fu Wenzheng’s expression changed.

She did not want to be outdone and said, “So what?”

In the past few years, Liang Hengxiao had always indulged her, so she had a habit of thinking that he would still give in to her.

It was not the first time she despised his status.

Liang Hengxiao said to the servants in the room, “All of you are dismissed.”

Other than her personal servant, the rest all rushed out of the room.

They didn’t want to hear it at all.

Curiosity could get them killed.

This was the first time Fu Wenzheng had seen Liang Hengxiao like this.

She couldn’t help but pull her personal maid. “If you have something to say, just say it. She doesn’t have to leave.”

Liang Hengxiao didn’t force her.

After the others went out, he took the initiative to close the door.

The servant girl who had lit the incense pretended to go to the bathroom and slipped away.

Then, she quickly left the third prince’s residence with the help of Xiao Hanzheng’s people.

Otherwise, when Fu Wenzheng came to her senses, she, who had taken the initiative to bring up the past, would definitely not have a good ending.

In the room, Liang Hengxiao had actually calmed down.

After all, he had been treated coldly in the palace, and his patience had already been trained.

Fu Wenzheng looked at him. “What do you want?”

Liang Hengxiao did not mention what had happened before.

He suddenly asked, “You went to my study room the past few days. Are you looking for books and evidence?”

His words were too sudden.

Fu Wenzheng, whose senses were affected by the alcohol and incense, widened her eyes.

She blurted out, “How did you know?”

After saying that, she quivered, and her rationality was pulled back a lot.

She hurriedly retracted her expression and evaded. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Liang Hengxiao was not a fool. “You’ve already been demoted to a concubine, yet you’re still thinking of scheming against me. You’re really good!”

The angrier he was, the more rational he became.

Fu Wenzheng’s brother was actually the one who helped him to pull some strings in Jiangnan.

He really did not expect that the person who wanted to stab him in the back was also the Fu family.

There was definitely something his second brother had done, and the Fu family was definitely involved.

Otherwise, how would Fu Wenzheng know about all this?

Fu Wenzheng saw that he had made it clear, so she also threw caution to the wind. “So what? You were the one who begged to marry me.”

She felt that even now, she still had the confidence in front of Liang Hengxiao.

Liang Hengxiao was so angry that he laughed. “Do you know why I want to marry you?”

Fu Wenzheng said righteously, “Of course it’s because you like me. Also, I’m the eldest daughter of the Northern Jing marquis.”

The reason why she was still confident was because of Liang Hengxiao’s liking and her status as the eldest daughter of a marquis.

Liang Heng sneered. “You’re wrong. I only married you because of that handheld stove and a bottle of frostbite ointment.

“Now that I know I’ve recognised the wrong person, do you think you can still be as arrogant as before?

“Fu Wenzheng, you really need to wake up.”

He narrowed his eyes and said, “Even if my mother is a palace maid, my father is the current emperor. What right do you have to belittle my identity?

“Just because you are a legitimate daughter of the marquisdom?”

No wonder his father was so disappointed in him and did not let him do any more work.

Now that he thought about it, he deserved it!
