"What does it matter if we part ways?" Zhao Family's Third Young Master insisted, "We've already been together; you can't back out now!"
Fu Qingqing's expression changed. "You..."
"Qingqing, come with me," Zhao Family's Third Young Master softened his tone. "You and my second brother have no future together; why not be with me? I may not have much to offer, but I will treat you well."
Fu Qingqing scoffed, "Who told you that I have no chance with Your Second Brother?"
Zhao Family's Third Young Master was taken aback. "What... what do you mean?"
Fu Qingqing shot him a glance. "Are you really that clueless? Of course, I will return to the Zhao Family in the future. You three sons of the Zhao Family, but your elder brother cannot marry me."
Zhao Family's Third Young Master's expression changed. "You... what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know in your heart," Fu Qingqing said calmly. "If your elder brother could marry me, I would have done so long ago instead of marrying Your Second Brother."
Zhao Family's Third Young Master was stunned. "You... you..."
"What about me?" Fu Qingqing rolled her eyes at him. "Let me tell you the truth: your elder brother is simply incapable. If he could marry me, why would I need to marry Your Second Brother?"
Zhao Family's Third Young Master turned pale. "How do you know..."
"Hmph," Fu Qingqing smiled smugly. "What is there that I don't know?"
She looked at Zhao Family's Third Young Master and softened her tone. "Xuan, deep down, you know your elder brother cannot marry me. Your Second Brother is useless; apart from you, I have no other options."
Zhao Family's Third Young Master's eyes lit up. "Qingqing, you..."
"Xuan, please help me," Fu Qingqing said softly. "Once everything is settled, I will marry you."
Zhao Family's Third Young Master was overjoyed. "Really?"
"Yes." Fu Qingqing shyly nodded.
Zhao Family's Third Young Master was ecstatic. "What do you want me to do?"
Fu Qingqing leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.
Zhao Family's Third Young Master widened his eyes in surprise. "This... this..."
"What? Are you unwilling?" Fu Qingqing glared at him. "Did you not just say that you'd do anything for me?"
"That's not it..." Zhao Family's Third Young Master hesitated a bit. "I just think that doing this might be too..."
"Are you feeling sorry for her?" Fu Qingqing's expression darkened. "If you're feeling sorry for her, then get lost right now!"
"Qingqing, don't be angry!" The Zhao Family's Third Young Master quickly reassured her, "I promise you I will do it."
Fu Qingqing's expression softened slightly, "That's more like it."
The Zhao Family's Third Young Master hesitated for a moment, "But my family..."
"Don't worry, I will talk to my family," Fu Qingqing said calmly. "Next month is your elder brother's birthday banquet, and we must return before that."
The Zhao Family's Third Young Master nodded, "I understand."
Fu Qingqing waved her hand, "You can go now; I have things to do."
The Zhao Family's Third Young Master looked at her reluctantly, "Qingqing, I..."
"Just go," Fu Qingqing said impatiently. "What if someone finds out?"
The Zhao Family's Third Young Master didn't dare to say more and turned to leave.
I was so startled that I quickly hid behind a tree.
After the Zhao Family's Third Young Master walked far away, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The conversation between Fu Qingqing and the Zhao Family's Third Young Master had too much information; I still hadn't processed it all.
I held the medicine and pushed the door open to enter.
Fu Qingqing was sitting in a chair with a very unpleasant expression.
Seeing me, she frowned, "What are you doing here?"
I smiled, "Auntie, I'm here to bring you medicine."
"You don't need to pretend to be kind!" Fu Qingqing snorted coldly. "Put the medicine down and go out."
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" I feigned confusion and asked. "Did someone make you angry?"
Fu Qingqing glared at me, "What does it have to do with you?"
I smiled sweetly and said, "Auntie, I'm your niece-in-law. If there's anything you need help with, just tell me; I'll definitely help if I can."
Fu Qingqing's expression changed, "You want to help me?"
