Chapter 254 Don’t believe it
Upon hearing this, Fu Yuzhang stood up abruptly, snatched the letter from the servant's hand, and began to read it eagerly.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiangxiu felt nervous. She raised her head quietly and her eyes fell on Fu Yuzhang's face.
Fu Yuzhang's expression changed with the content of the letter, sometimes angry, sometimes confused, and sometimes showing a bit of sadness.
After reading the letter, he held the paper tightly in his hands, as if he was going to crush it.
"Nonsense... This is simply nonsense..." Fu Yuzhang's voice trembled, and he seemed to be very unbelievable.
Zhang Xiangxiu was delighted, it seemed that Ding Liang had already started to act.
My hands are pretty fast.
These days, Fu Yuzhang has been going crazy trying to find Lu Zhiran, but he can't let any news leak out, for fear that others will know and it will be bad for Lu Zhiran. After all, she has disappeared for so many days.
Who knows if Lu Zhiran has been treated badly outside!
Fu Yuzhang's cheeks were twisted with anger and his eyes were red like two burning flames.
He ran his fingers across the letter, as if trying to erase the words one by one. However, no matter how hard he tried, the words on the letter were like a brand, deeply engraved in his heart.
The next second, Fu Yuzhang tore the envelope in his hand into pieces.
"This is just nonsense, this is all nonsense, Lu Zhiran can't be dead, bastard... How dare you lie to me!"
Fu Yuzhang spoke with gritted teeth, and the servants in the living room also felt panicked by the gloomy atmosphere.
It’s over, this little devil is angry!
I don’t know how to torture people next!
Just then, a steady sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and then an old woman in gorgeous brocade robe and with silver hair slowly walked in.
She was the old lady of the Fu family and Fu Yuzhang's grandmother.
Mrs. Fu.
The old lady had been in poor health these days and had been chanting sutras in the Buddhist temple every day, but after such a big incident involving Fu Zhong, she could no longer continue to chant sutras with peace of mind.
She walked in and saw Fu Yuzhang's mad look, frowned slightly, and said softly: "Yuzhang, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"
When Fu Yuzhang saw his grandmother coming, although he was still furious, he had to suppress his anger and replied respectfully: "Grandma, why are you here? I'm fine, just a little... a little..." He wanted to say "a little angry", but swallowed the words back.
The old lady saw Fu Yuzhang's hesitation. She walked forward, gently patted Fu Yuzhang's shoulder, and said softly: "Yuzhang, you are a descendant of the Fu family. You will inherit everything of the Fu family in the future."
"When encountering things, you need to be calm and composed, and you can't lose your composure like you did now."
"I know that Ran'er has been missing recently, which makes you a little anxious, but the more this happens, the more you need to stay calm."
Hearing this, Fu Yuzhang felt ashamed. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Grandma, you are right. I know I was wrong."
"What did the letter just say?"
The old lady smiled slightly and then asked.
"It says Lu Zhiran...she's dead!"
Fu Yuzhang looked angry.
The old lady was stunned after hearing this. After she came to her senses, she said to Fu Yuzhang in a serious tone: "Yuzhang, this letter must be fake. It is just to disturb your mind."
"However, although the words in the letter are fierce and incoherent, the information revealed in it cannot be ignored. Lu Zhiran has been missing for so many days, and now someone has sent a letter like this... There must be something fishy about it."
Fu Yuzhang was also shocked when he heard this. He raised his head, looked at the old lady with a firm gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Grandma, don't worry, your grandson will definitely find out the truth of this matter!"
The old lady nodded with satisfaction, and then instructed: "But you have to remember that this matter must be carried out in secret, and no news can leak out. Otherwise, once it gets out, it will be bad for Lu Zhiran."
Fu Yuzhang bowed and replied, "Grandson understands."
After watching Fu Yuzhang calm down.
The old lady then noticed Zhang Xiangxiu next to her and immediately expressed her disgust.
The old lady's originally warm gaze instantly became sharp and cold when it touched Zhang Xiangxiu.
Her eyes, which were once full of wisdom and kindness, now seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, which made Zhang Xiangxiu's heart tremble.
Zhang Xiangxiu looked uneasy under this cold gaze. Her originally fair face flushed, as if her cheeks were burned by a sudden fire.
She lowered her head, not daring to look the old lady in the eye, and her hands were tightly wrung together, revealing her inner tension and anxiety.
The old lady snorted coldly, with unquestionable majesty in her voice: "What are you doing here? Aren't you under house arrest?"
"Besides, what exactly do you mean by going out quietly tonight?"
Zhang Xiangxiu's head was buzzing. She never expected that her whereabouts would be completely known by the old lady.
She trembled, and quickly knelt on the ground, and replied in a trembling voice: "Old Madam, Xiangxiu knows her crime. Xiangxiu should not go out without permission during the confinement period, and should not disturb the old lady and the marquis at this moment."
She knew Madam Fu's character well, so at this moment she could only explain everything clearly.
Don't try to make excuses by hoping for luck.
Upon hearing this, the old lady frowned and spoke in a more severe voice, "Why did you go out without permission? And why are you here?"
Zhang Xiangxiu's heart tightened, knowing that the old lady was not so easy to fool. She took a deep breath, calmed down, then slowly raised her head, looked at the old lady and said, "Old lady, Xiangxiu went out privately this time to find Lu Zhiran's whereabouts."
"Lu Zhiran?" The old lady was slightly stunned, and then a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
Fu Yuzhang on the side was even more excited than the old lady.
Asked hurriedly.
"You went to find Lu Zhiran, do you have any news?"
Seeing this, Zhang Xiangxiu hurriedly explained, "Yes, Marquis, old lady. Lu Zhiran has been missing for many days, and the Marquis is worried about this day and night. Xiangxiu knows that the Marquis has deep feelings for Lu Zhiran, so she tried her best to find her whereabouts."
"Unfortunately, I am useless and cannot find any clues. So I dare not report it."
When the old lady heard this, a hint of speechlessness flashed in her eyes.
But Fu Yuzhang had already softened his heart.
"Grandma, Zhang Xiangxiu is also going to find Lu Zhiran, so please let her go this time."
Her stupid grandson was fooled by just a few words from this woman.
However, Fu Yuzhang was already annoyed enough by Lu Zhiran's disappearance.
It’s better to stimulate him less!
Madam Fu looked at Zhang Xiangxiu, was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "You are loyal to Yuzhang. However, it is an indisputable fact that you went out without permission and violated the family rules."
