Chapter 1049: Fourth Brother, You Lied to Me

Fu Yanwan heard her fourth sister-in-law's question and didn't hide it from her: "Her aunt arrived in the Capital City the day before yesterday. Ren Jiangfeng and I both took leave together; she even came to attend your wedding yesterday."

Liu Chuxue frowned slightly: "Why didn't I see him?"

Fu Yanwan glanced outside, seeing her fourth brother talking with her mother in the courtyard: "You've heard about his situation, right?"

Liu Chuxue nodded lightly: "Mm, I heard a little."

"He squeezed in time yesterday to register his gift, then rushed back to handle his family's affairs as soon as he saw Fourth Brother return from the wedding procession. He didn't even have time to attend the wedding banquet."

After speaking, she sighed: "I originally wanted to go over and check on him, but Mother wouldn't let me. She said it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go at this time."

Liu Chuxue had heard Fu Yan Cheng mention Ren Jiangfeng before, and had also spoken about the results the Xiao family had investigated: "Don't worry. I heard his uncle's position isn't low now. Even though they are far from the Capital, there must be acquaintances of theirs working here. I believe the Ren family won't dare to go too far."

Fu Yanwan said angrily: "You say those people in the Ren family are just too greedy. They took so many things and money from Jiangfeng's family, yet they didn't treat him well. Sending him to the countryside was bad enough, but they also schemed against him. It really makes me furious."

Liu Chuxue, however, laughed: "If there hadn't been that previous marriage fraud, how could his background have been revealed? With this incident, given his aunt's ability, she will surely seek justice for him. This can be considered a blessing in disguise."

After speaking, she leaned close to Fu Yanwan and whispered: "Just watch. This time, Jiangfeng's aunt will definitely make him cut ties with his adoptive parents' family. This will only benefit you in the future, with no downsides."

Fu Yanwan wasn't stupid; she naturally understood what her fourth sister-in-law meant: "Let's hope so. Just based on their attempt to scheme against me, I truly have no good feelings for them at all."

Thinking of what Ren Jiangfeng had told her after she returned last time, she had even less of a good impression of that family. Besides accepting Qi Shufang's bribe, they wanted to quickly connect Ren Jiangfeng with her, hoping to use her leverage to persuade Fu's father to arrange a job for their younger son.

Thinking about it now made her feel terrified. She immediately leaned onto Liu Chuxue's shoulder: "Fourth sister-in-law, thank you. If you hadn't been so alert, I dare not imagine what my life would be like in the future."

Liu Chuxue patted her shoulder: "Alright, it's over. Don't scare yourself."

"Even if it really came to that point, your brothers would surely be able to handle it for you. I believe they definitely have that capability."

Fu Yanwan hugged Liu Chuxue tightly: "Luckily I have you all. I feel I am truly very happy."

Just then, Fu Yan Cheng walked in. His face, which had been smiling, instantly darkened: "Fu Yanwan, what are you doing?"

Hearing her fourth brother's voice, Fu Yanwan only turned her head to look at him but didn't let go of her fourth sister-in-law. She wanted to deliberately annoy her fourth brother for shouting at her so loudly: "I'm being affectionate with Fourth Sister-in-law. Didn't you see?"

Watching the siblings spar, Liu Chuxue laughed outright.

Then she saw Fu Yan Cheng shout outside: "Mother, Xiao Wan is here."

Fu Yanwan thought her mother was looking for her. She instantly let go of Liu Chuxue, jumped up, and rushed toward the door: "Mother, what's wrong?"

But she saw the courtyard was empty. Not to mention her mother, even the two little nieces who had been playing in front of the main house were gone. Suddenly, she realized something: "Fourth Brother, you lied to me?"

Fu Yan Cheng rolled his eyes at her: "Mother really was looking for you. If you don't believe me, go ask her."

Fu Yanwan knew he was annoyed that she was clinging to her sister-in-law, but she still ran to find Fu's mother: "Mother, did you want me?"
