Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master's Wife-Chasing Strategy

Panda Novel

When Song Fengwan saw Qiao Wangbei, her entire body instantly turned cold, and she was scared out of her wits.

Black clouds pressed down on them, and it was as if two armies were confronting each other. The air was condensed and thin. It was only a few seconds, but it felt like an eternity. When Fu Xinhan saw Old Madam Fu coming over, he even wagged his tail and jumped at her. At this moment, he also felt that the atmosphere was amiss and obediently hid back into his doghouse.

“What are you doing?” Qiao Wangbei suppressed his voice. His entire body was tense, and his chest was trembling. His thin and cold face was pale and green from anger.

He didn’t expect the two of them to get together.

Logically speaking, Song Fengwan should call Fu Chen uncle. His family had entrusted her to the Fu family to take care of her before, but now he had taken care of her on the bed.

Most importantly, this kind of deception really made people furious.

Fu Chen reached out to hold Song Fengwan’s hand and pulled her behind him. He said bluntly, “We’re dating.”

Old Madam Fu stomped her feet in anxiety. Can’t this brat be more flexible at a time like this? Must he say it so bluntly?!

Actually, Fu Chen had already thought about it. It was fine if they didn’t find out. But if they did, he definitely would never shrink back.

He loved Song Fengwan and wanted to be with her!

This would never change.

Qiao Wangbei clenched his fists and glanced at Qiao Xiyan beside him. “Give me the knife. Listen to this brat speak self-righteously. We did get you to take care of Wanwan, but…

“Who asked you to take care of her on the bed?

“Besides, what is your relationship? You’re Fu Yuxiu’s uncle!”

Previously, when Fu Yuxiu had unilaterally broken off the engagement, it had already been very embarrassing. Qiao Wangbei had endured it for a long time and didn’t kill this brat directly because he thought that the Fu family treated Song Fengwan well and had sincerely made it up to them.

Considering the relationship between the two families, it would be fine to endure this matter and let it pass.

But while the Fu family was making up for it, Fu Chen had kidnapped her to his house.

How could he tolerate this?

Besides, after the incident with Fu Yuxiu, they had never thought of marrying the Fu family and becoming in-laws. But now…

After Fu Yuxiu had broken off the engagement with her, she was now his third aunt. This relationship was so messy that she would definitely be criticized in the future.

“Dad!” Qiao Xiyan pressed down on his shoulder, motioning him to calm down.

“Where’s my knife?!” Qiao Wangbei shouted.

When they arrived here just now, Qiao Xiyan had locked the car door and wouldn’t let him out unless he handed over his knife. He had no choice but to hand over the knife. Now that his temper was rising, he wished he could kill Fu Chen.

Qiao Xiyan refused. Someone would die otherwise.

Qiao Wangbei admitted that Fu Chen wasn’t Fu Yuxiu and that he was a good man. But when he thought about how he had treated him so well for so long and how it was all a deliberate, long-termed deception, the flames in his heart kept rising.

He rushed over and grabbed Fu Chen’s clothes…

He had been a knife-wielding craftsman for most of his life. His grip was very strong, and his fingers and palms were full of thick calluses. He raised his fist and was about to punch him.

The two Fu elders gasped.

“Uncle!” Song Fengwan hurriedly reached out to hold his arm.

Even if Fu Chen could withstand the punch, the corner of his mouth would definitely split open.

“How long have you two been dating?”

“Less than a year.”

Qiao Wangbei chuckled. “Who started it?”

Before Fu Chen could speak, Song Fengwan said directly, “I… I liked him first! If you want to hit someone, hit me.”

“Do you think I don’t know your personality? Are you protecting him?” Qiao Wangbei’s heart was quaking.

“I was the one who wooed her.” Fu Chen wasn’t afraid from beginning to end. At worst, he would be beaten up by him. It was worth it to be with her.

“If I didn’t like him, no one could force me to do it!” Song Fengwan gritted her teeth.

“You two…” Qiao Wangbei’s arm was grabbed by Song Fengwan, but he didn’t dare to shake her off. “Qiao Xiyan, pull your sister away.”

“Uncle…”

“Wangbei, listen to what I have to say.” Old Master Fu stepped forward.

Even though Qiao Wangbei was currently furious, he still had to give Old Master Fu face. They didn’t know either, so there was no need to vent his anger on Fu Chen’s parents.

He gritted his teeth in hatred but still let go of him for now.

“Fu Chen is indeed wrong in this matter. Moreover, he’s wrong for deceiving everyone for so long.

“Wanwan was still young at the time. If this brat really liked her and kept pestering her in every possible way to please her, Wanwan probably wouldn’t have been able to take it either. The whole thing is Fu Chen’s fault.

“Besides, even I can’t tolerate him lying to us for so long. You don’t have to do anything about this. I will teach him a lesson.”

Old Master Fu walked toward Fu Chen with the ferule in his hand.

The peach wood ferule was about a foot long, flat, and polished smooth.

Song Fengwan had seen him beat Fu Yuxiu with the ferule with her own eyes. He could really beat someone to a pulp. He had even sent Fu Yuxiu to the hospital that night.

Seeing Old Master Fu approaching, she said, “Grandpa Fu…”

Old Master Fu raised the ferule and whipped it at Fu Chen…

Song Fengwan’s heart skipped a beat, and she rushed over to help Fu Chen block this blow. Qiao Wangbei didn’t manage to hold her back, and he was very anxious when he saw the strike about to hit her.

Fu Chen grabbed her wrist and hugged her tightly.

Smack! The ferule struck his back hard.

Song Fengwan could clearly feel the person hugging her suddenly convulse, and her entire body stiffened.

“Third Brother!” She looked up slightly and saw cold sweat on Fu Chen’s forehead. His face was quickly paling.

Old Master Fu had used all his strength to his back. Fu Chen only felt his back instantly go numb. A few seconds later, his entire body went numb and convulsed in pain.

“Old Fu…” Old Madam Fu thought that it would be fine if he went through the motions, but she didn’t expect him to be so heavy-handed.

This was the first time Fu Chen had been reprimanded and hit by an elder in his life.

Old Madam Fu saw his face turn pale, and her eyes instantly reddened.

The Qiao father and son didn’t expect Old Master Fu to be so heavy-handed, and they were both shocked. Uncle Nian was standing at the side, and his heart was also palpitating.

He knew that when this matter was exposed, the Qiao family would definitely come to hold him accountable. They had entrusted the young lady in his care, but he had taken care of her to the bed.

“Third Brother…” Song Fengwan’s eyes were red from anxiety.

Fu Chen reached out to hold the back of her neck and pressed her face into his embrace. “Be good. Don’t look.”

“Fu Chen, they sent Wanwan here to let our Fu family take care of her. Not only did you take care of her on the bed, but you even kept it from us. Tell me yourself. Why did you do this?” Old Master Fu held the ferule, his wrist numb.

“I love Wanwan. I won’t admit I’m wrong in this matter. As for the rest…” Fu Chen’s backbones felt as if they had been shattered, and his skin and flesh were torn apart. It was painful.

“I will accept everything.”

“It’s fine if you don’t want to admit you’re wrong. But you have to give everyone an explanation no matter what. I won’t protect you in this matter!” Old Master Fu raised his ferule and was about to hit him again.

“Old Master, please show mercy. Third Master is bleeding.” Uncle Nian had watched Fu Chen grow up, so he naturally couldn’t bear to see him suffer like this. “Wasn’t Miss Song young at the start? Coupled with her relationship with Young Master Yuxiu, Third Master didn’t say anything…

“Later on, Ms. Qiao was pregnant again, and he didn’t dare to stimulate her. Otherwise, he would have said it long ago.

“Please show mercy. You really can’t hit him like this!

“I’ve taken care of Third Master for so long. After all these years, he only likes this young lady. Isn’t it because he loves her so much that he has so many considerations? Do you think Third Master didn’t want to bring her back to see you openly? Wasn’t this because he had no choice?

“Mr. Qiao, our Third Master has never curried favor with anyone before. When he knew that you were coming here, he specially bought a lot of books to read. He just wanted to talk with you more.

“It’s wrong for Third Master to hide it from you. But he has fallen in love with her. Moreover, this situation… What else do you think he can do?”

After Uncle Nian finished speaking, tears started falling.

“When love comes, there’s no such thing as age and seniority. It’s not easy for people who love each other to meet in their lives. Third Master really loves Miss Song…”

His words made Old Madam Fu’s eyes turn red. Song Fengwan lay in Fu Chen’s arms and hugged him tightly. They were a couple…

They were inseparable!

Old Master Fu raised the ferule, not knowing if it should fall.

Qiao Wangbei sighed and walked over. “Old Master Fu, forget it…”

When he recalled the situation just now, Fu Chen had protected Song Fengwan at the first moment. The two of them were hugging each other, making them look like evil people who came to break up an affectionate couple.

“Uncle!” Song Fengwan cried with red eyes.

“Why are you crying? He was only hit once. Does your heart ache so much? This brat hid so much from us. What’s wrong with being hit once? You’re really bold too. Who can’t you be with? But he’s…”

Fu Yuxiu’s biological uncle.

“Uncle, I didn’t mean to hide it from you!” Song Fengwan moved away from Fu Chen’s embrace and tugged at the corner of his shirt.

“Alright, stop crying!” Qiao Wangbei really couldn’t bear to see her red eyes and pitiful appearance.

“Uncle Qiao, I’m sorry.” Fu Chen endured the pain in his back and apologized to the Qiao family. “I still didn’t consider everything carefully. Dad, Mom, I…”

“What else can we say? Brat, we were so worry-free about you when you were young. Why did you become so worrisome after growing up…” Old Master Fu threw the ferule aside. When he saw that there was really some blood oozing from his back, his heart ached endlessly.

But he didn’t do anything. Qiao Wangbei was in a fit of anger just now. If he had punched Fu Chen, Fu Chen would have suffered even more.

Most importantly, if he didn’t take responsibility, he would probably have to suffer a few more blows.

“Why did you hide it from your father and me? You’re really daring!” Old Madam Fu walked over and saw his back. Her heart ached so much that tears came out.

Just as Uncle Nian had said, there was no way to reveal it at first. But later, Qiao Aiyun had an accident and then got pregnant, so there was no suitable opportunity.

“Sit down first. I’ll take a look at your back!” Fu Chen was the youngest in the family, and Old Madan Fu had given birth to him at a late age, so she naturally doted on him more.

He usually did things very steadily, and this was the first time he had been reprimanded like this.

Qiao Xiyan stood at the side with his arms crossed. He knew very well what the Fu family was up to. Actually, they couldn’t do anything to Fu Chen either. They just wanted to vent their anger about being deceived.

After Old Master Fu hit him with his ferule, it was not convenient for them to continue pursuing this matter.

Besides, at this point, it was impossible for them to separate the two of them forcefully. They were just angry.

As long as Qiao Xiyan thought about how he had personally sent his cousin step by step into a wolf’s den, the flames in his heart surged inch by inch.

He reached out to touch the carving knife in his pocket and gritted his teeth.

“Mom, you don’t have to look at it. I’ll take care of it myself later.” At this moment, some of the blood had dried and stuck to his clothes. Even when he moved slightly, it would hurt. The wound inside the clothes had to be hideous and scary. He reached out to stop Old Madam Fu from lifting his shirt.

“Show us when we get back in the house.” Song Fengwan was anxious too. She didn’t know how badly he was injured.

“The first-aid kit is here. Do you want to call a doctor?” Uncle Nian wiped his tears away, and his voice was hoarse.

“Give me the first-aid kit. I’ll help him take a look. I’m often injured, so I’m good at treating wounds.” Qiao Xiyan walked over.

Fu Chen looked at him…

He felt that his gaze was as sharp as a knife, as though he could kill him at any time.

“Okay, you help Third Son take a look. If it’s too serious, we’ll call a doctor or send him straight to the hospital.” Old Madam Fu was anxious.

“Third Master Fu, let’s go.” Qiao Xiyan raised his eyebrows.

“Cousin…” Song Fengwan looked at Qiao Xiyan guiltily.

“What’s wrong?”

“N-nothing.” Song Fengwan gritted her teeth. “Remember to be gentle when you apply medicine to him.”

“Okay,” Qiao Xiyan replied.

The two of them directly entered Fu Chen’s small study on the first floor. Uncle Nian brewed tea and served Qiao Wangbei and the two Fu elders.

“Don’t stand there. Come and sit.” Qiao Wangbei patted the seat beside him. He had been too shocked when he heard the news just now. Now that he thought about it, it wasn’t that difficult to accept. But this seniority was indeed a little…

People would probably gossip in the future.

“Thank you, Uncle.” Song Fengwan was still very cautious.

…

At this moment, in the study, Qiao Xiyan was helping Fu Chen treat the wound on his back. When he suddenly touched the wound, Fu Chen groaned in pain.

Qiao Xiyan raised his eyebrows. “Third Master Fu, I’m really sorry. I’m used to being rough, so I really don’t know what gentleness is.”

Fu Chen gritted his teeth. “It’s alright. Continue.”

“Then I…” Qiao Xiyan sneered. “You’re welcome!”
