After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 6 - 005: What Play Is This?

Fu Yun's fall was truly undignified; there were no trees at the edge of the cliff, only rocks and dirt. Earlier he looked rather presentable, but now his hair was askew, his robe untied, and one side of his face was smeared with a large patch of yellow mud.

He trembled with anger, shakily instructing someone to chase after Fu Zhen, but how could they catch up?

The servants made a show of it but, seeing the ruins from afar, dared not go any further.

Fu Yun had lived for thirty-five years without anyone ever laying a finger on him! Even when he was young and didn't study properly, his father would raise the feather duster, but his mother would always rush over to shield him just before it struck.

He never imagined that now, as a father himself, he'd actually be beaten by his own daughter!

He was furious at Fu Zhen's audacity, her lack of filial piety. He was also embarrassed that a man of his standing had become a laughing stock! Furthermore, he was annoyed that his trip up the mountain, which was initially meant to bring about a fortunate encounter with a noble, came to nothing. His clothes were dirty, his hair was disheveled, and he had no chance to try his luck again.

If not for this unruly, unfilial daughter, how could he have ended up in such a situation?

Yet, aside from his anger, Fu Yun was also deeply bewildered.

His daughter had always been frail, but Fu Zhen earlier was intimidatingly fierce. She even had the strength to kick him over and managed to choke Fu Rou, rendering her unable to move!

What on earth was going on?

Earlier when they were climbing the mountain, she was panting with every few steps, so how could she suddenly become a different person?

"Father... Zhen, Zhen and the others, are coming back."

At this moment, Fu Rou pointed tremblingly at Fu Zhen and Mrs. Fu approaching from a distance, her face still bearing signs of fear.

Only after Fu Zhen had run off earlier did she catch her breath, but seeing her return, her heart leapt again.

Today's Fu Zhen seemed like a madwoman!

A fragile young lady who relied on her family's protection actually kicked over her own father just because of a disagreement—who would believe such a tale?

Thinking back to how she was nearly sent to death's door from being choked, she shivered again!

She was terrified!

Imagining herself living under the same roof with such a lunatic in the future frightened her even more!

As Fu Zhen drew nearer, Fu Rou grasped her hands tighter—

"Father."

Just as both father and daughter were extremely tense, Fu Zhen came forward and, surprisingly, greeted them courteously and politely!

Fu Rou, who was gritting her teeth and guarding against her, almost stumbled backward!

The Fu Zhen before her appeared calm and composed; the boundless resentment and fury from earlier were all but gone. If you looked closely, her eyes still held a hint of strange coldness, but compared to before, she now seemed quite amiable!

——What kind of act was this?

Fu Yun was stunned.

"Daughter was just startled and lost her composure, inadvertently offended Father, and I apologize for that."

What surprised him into silence even more was that she actually apologized to him next!

Fu Yun opened his eyes wide and scrutinized her—sure enough, Fu Zhen at this moment spoke energetically and stood with perfect posture.

Not only did she appear more dignified and graceful than before, but she also resembled a lady from a noble family accustomed to grand spectacles. Even her posture was commendable, completely unlike her previous self, who would wheeze after a few steps like an invalid!

"Father, have you forgiven me?"

At this moment, Fu Zhen watched him intently and spoke again.

Fu Yun steadied himself internally and, observing her serene expression and nonchalant tone, couldn't help but fume!

"Wicked daughter! You commit such a heinous crime and still dare to ask for my forgiveness? Kneel before me!"

She finally realized she made a huge mistake?

She knows she needs to apologize now?

She understands that ethics and morals cannot be disregarded?!

If he didn't punish her today, exhale this breath of anger, he wouldn't deserve to be called a father!

Fu Zhen sighed: "Father, I already apologized."

Fu Yun's eyes widened in disbelief; what did she mean by this?

Was she saying that publicly kicking over her own father and now apologizing was already giving him great face?

Having thought she realized her error, he now saw that she remained as arrogant as ever!

Fu Yun shook with rage, raising his hand: "Beast!"

Fu Zhen sidestepped and said, "Father, we're out in public—do you really intend to commit violence here?"

"What violence? This is the exercise of familial law!"

Fu Rou, who had been observing for a long time, couldn't help but step forward and back him up.

Today, she suffered great humiliation in front of Fu Zhen. Only the principles of ethics and morals could suppress her; she needed Fu Yun to punish her brutally to vent this anger from nearly being killed by Fu Zhen today!

"You shut up!"

Fu Zhen's unusual spirit also empowered Mrs. Fu. She retorted to Fu Rou and stepped forward: "Master! Whatever the issue, let's discuss it back at the residence!"

"You dare plead for her?" Fu Yun scolded angrily, "She dared to oppose me, dared to hit me—it's all because of your indulgence! Who am I? I'm her father! Even the king of heaven wouldn't forgive her! You step aside, after dealing with her, I'll punish you too!"

"Father, well said!" Fu Rou commented, "Madam, just last month you admonished me, saying without rules there can be no proper order. Why is it when it's about Sister, your tune changes? So only I have to follow the rules, and my sister doesn't? Aren't we all Fu Family members—what kind of rationale is this?"

After observing Fu Zhen for this long, she wasn't as scared anymore. The previous Fu Zhen seemed to have an overwhelming confidence, exuding arrogance and insolence which she didn't bother to hide. Now, although there was still an implicit intimidation that prevented anyone from acting rashly, she had reservations!

Whether it was scruples over ethics and morals or concerns for her own mother and young brother, as long as she had doubts, Fu Rou wasn't afraid of her!

Fu Zhen chose to let things go because they were in public, and it wouldn't benefit her or Mrs. Fu if the Fu Family lost face.

Yet, Fu Rou was foolish enough to still persist at this moment!

With such rotten family values, it's no wonder the Fu Family hasn't amounted to much in the capital city all these years!

She continued to smile amicably as she asked Fu Yun, "So Father, what do you think?"

Fu Yun saw in her eyes an unmistakable readiness to escalate matters if he agreed with Fu Rou, clenching his teeth repeatedly before finally turning away in anger: "Back to the residence!"

"Father!"

Fu Rou didn't want such an outcome, grabbing Fu Yun's sleeve, unwilling to let him leave.

Fu Yun turned back, surveyed the surroundings, and gritted his teeth, lowering his voice: "Don't forget the Du Family is also here today; don't be willful!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Rou immediately released her grip, instinctively looking around before straightening her attire and hair.

The Du Family was something she was determined to obtain. If their family witnessed this scene, it would certainly be a loss rather than a gain.
