I shook my head. "You have no evidence, just your own guesses, and you assume that Mother is framing you. Do you really think of her that way?"
"You have always been sowing discord at home, criticizing Mother for this and that. The one who is truly bad is you."
"You have never liked Mother and have always wanted to drive her away so that Father could be with you. But you know very well that Father loves Mother; he would never divorce her."
"So you came up with this scheme to ruin Mother's reputation, thinking that would make Father abandon her."
"But what you didn't realize is that in the end, it is your own reputation that will be destroyed."
My words were sharp, exposing all of Fu Qingqing's misdeeds.
Fu Qingqing's face turned pale; she opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.
Because what I said was true, she had no way to refute it.
Fu Guanbai looked at Fu Qingqing, disappointment evident on his face.
"Qingqing, is this really how you feel?" he asked.
"No, no!" Fu Qingqing quickly shook her head. "Brother, believe me, I didn't—"
"You still won't admit it!" Fu Guanbai shouted sternly.
Fu Qingqing was stunned.
She looked at Fu Guanbai, tears streaming down her face.
"Brother, how did you become like this? You used to care for me the most!"
"You know I cared for you!" Fu Guanbai said angrily. "I tolerated you time and again because of how you were as a child. But what about you? You took my tolerance as your excuse for being willful!"
"I used to think you were kind, gentle, and considerate, but now it seems that was just my embellishment of you!"
"You have already become this person without me knowing!"
Fu Qingqing stared blankly at Fu Guanbai, her face as pale as paper.
Fu Guanbai closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"From today on, don't call me brother anymore. I no longer have a sister like you."
Fu Qingqing trembled all over.
She looked at Fu Guanbai as tears silently fell down her cheeks.
Fu Guanbai turned around and held Fu Guangbai's hand.
"Qing Dai," he said softly.
"It's nothing," Fu Guangbai shook his head.
"Let's go home," Fu Guanbai said gently.
"Okay," Fu Guangbai smiled slightly.
Fu Guanbai held Fu Guangbai's hand and walked outside.
As they passed by me, he glanced at me.
His gaze was complex and sharp, as if he could see through a person's heart.
I calmly met his eyes without flinching.
Fu Guanbai withdrew his gaze and left with Fu Guangbai.
I turned my head and watched their departing figures.
Fu Guanbai held onto Fu Guangbai's hand tightly, not letting go.
I knew that after this incident, his feelings for Fu Guangbai had changed.
If he used to love Fu Guangbai, now he trusted him even more.
Fu Qingqing had completely lost his trust, while Fu Guangbai had earned it.
From now on, Fu Guangbai would be his true family.
Fu Qingqing was ordered by the Head of the Fu Family to be locked up in the family temple of the Fu Family.
The Three Young Masters of the Zhao Family became a laughingstock in the noble circles of the capital due to this incident.
The second-generation heir of the Zhao Family had lost his qualification, and although the third-generation heir took over, their behavior was even worse, leading the Zhao Family towards decline.
The Zhao Family, once a prominent noble family in the capital, was gradually falling into obscurity.
Meanwhile, our family returned to tranquility.
Fu Bo had always spoiled me; whatever I wanted to do, he would support me unconditionally.
Grandma Fu Guangbai treated me very well; I felt as if she were my own mother.
In the early morning, sunlight streamed through the curtains, illuminating the entire room with warmth. I opened my eyes and was greeted by the handsome face of Fu Bo. His features were exquisite, with fair skin, a high nose bridge, and beautifully shaped lips. His eyes were closed, and his long eyelashes cast shadows on his cheeks like two small brushes.
As I looked at him, a wave of happiness surged within me. Ever since I married into the Fu family, my life had become incredibly joyful. Fu Bo pampered me and indulged my every whim, and my mother-in-law, Fu Guangbai, also adored me. I felt like the happiest woman in the world.
"Have you seen enough?" Fu Bo suddenly opened his eyes and asked with a smile.
My cheeks flushed slightly. "Who’s looking at you?"
"Is that so?" Fu Bo raised an eyebrow. "Then who was staring at me just now?"
"I..." My face turned as red as an apple. "I was admiring something beautiful!"
"Something beautiful?" Fu Bo chuckled. "What about me?"
"You?" I blinked. "You are beautiful too."
"Really?" Fu Bo looked at me with a teasing smile. "Just beautiful?"
I laughed softly and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Fu Bo, I love you," I whispered in his ear.
Fu Bo's body stiffened slightly before he embraced me tightly. "I love you too," he murmured in my ear.
We held each other quietly for a while before I finally got up to wash up. Today was the day of the court banquet, and I needed to enter the palace early.
