Fang Yuhan's last rhetorical question made Fang Lihui feel cold sweat break out on his forehead.
Before coming here, my father had repeatedly warned me not to offend Fang Zilan. This woman had the determination to fight on the battlefield and the ruthlessness to step on the top of the Shangguan family. Moreover, she could only have someone to support her when she became a minister. This kind of person didn't know. Don't mess with the depths.
But Fang Yuhan's words were like a bucket of dirty water being poured over him. If Fang Zilan cared about them, could the two of them still get out of Yanzhou well?
Just when Fang Lihui was about to say something to save the situation, he heard Fang Zilan sneer, "Young master Fang is indeed a side branch master. He is used to doing whatever he wants. He doesn't know that in a high-ranking family, you can't help yourself."
She said and managed to stand up. Awan wanted to come over to help her, but she stopped him with a look.
She held the table to stand steady and said in a cold voice, "Master Fang thinks that only the two daughters of the Wang family are commodities. Isn't he too naive?"
Fang Yuhan choked back after Fang Zilan's two words, and looked at the person in front of him blankly. He looked sick and haggard, but he had a shocking aura.
Just listen to her saying word by word: "Let me put it bluntly, the three young masters who came to discuss marriage this time are not considered commodities? You have never seen the two daughters of the Wang family, but because of a word from your family, even if The two daughters are of average appearance, so they have to marry, isn’t it because of the Wang family’s family status?”
"The people in the high gates and deep courtyards may seem to have unlimited glory, but they are just commodities with a clearly marked price in every transaction. If you feel unfair for others, you might as well think about whether you are the same commodity. If so, you have not done anything for others. Qualification to complain."
Fang Zilan's voice became colder, and Fang Yuhan's face became paler. His lips moved but did not make any sound.
Fang Zilan ignored his reaction and continued, "What's more, marriage is a matter of parents ordering a matchmaker, and that's generally the case in the world. I'm just inviting a few people here for the thin-skinned Wang family. Whether it succeeds or not depends on both parties. , I don’t need to worry about the situation of the two daughters, as Young Master Fang said, that’s what their parents should do, not me.”
"As the Lord of the Northern Territory, I am in charge of the peace and happiness of Yanzhou and Changle. What I care about is the peace and security of the Northern Territory. I don't care about who makes goods."
After Fang Zilan finished speaking, she glanced at Fang Yuhan's gray face, and saw him bowing with slightly trembling hands, and whispered: "Master Fang is right, it is Fang Yuhan who is short-sighted and has been taught a lesson."
Fang Lihui also hurriedly echoed: "Master Fang's words are really enlightening, and Fang Lihui has benefited a lot."
Ouyang Juncheng also bowed respectfully, "Juncheng has always heard from my father that Mr. Fang is a woman guarding the northern border, so he must be a powerful person. Today I was fortunate enough to hear Mr. Fang's words, and he said that there is Mr. Fang in the northern border. It's true. It’s a great blessing.”
"You three gentlemen, you don't have to be like this." Fang Zilan looked indifferent. She said so much in one breath. At this time, she felt extremely tired and might collapse at any time.
In addition, she had no time to distinguish whether they were sincere or flattering, and she didn't want to get entangled with the three of them anymore, so she said indifferently: "I can't decide on the marriage of the daughter of the Wang family, and I will invite Mr. Wang to Jinxi Tower tonight. , you can talk to the three young gentlemen if you have anything to say then. Today I have just recovered from the cold, and I am really a little tired. I will talk to the three young gentlemen about the customs and customs of the north another day."
Fang Zilan's order to expel the guests was obvious, and the three of them were not ignorant of current affairs, so they immediately said a few words to leave.
At the end, Fang Zilan said again: "That plum sword is good. I still have some questions to ask. Can Mr. Sword Maker please leave a comment?"
She personally asked to keep people, but Fang Lihui didn't dare not to obey. He immediately asked Mr. Sword Builder to stay, and he left with Fang Yuhan and a group of servants and Ouyang Juncheng.
After everyone left, Fang Zilan breathed a sigh of relief. She could no longer hold on to her relaxation and fell down on the main seat.
Awan on the side quickly grabbed her wrist and made sure she was fine before putting her heart back in her stomach, "Why do you have to talk so much to such an ignorant young master from a wealthy family?"
A Wan frowned slightly and spoke with disdain, while Vice Admiral Cao also came up and nodded in agreement, "That kind of idiot, boss, if you can't stand it, I, Lao Cao, will teach him a lesson for you, there is no need to talk nonsense with him."
"It doesn't matter." Fang Zilan shook his head and told Deputy General Cao, "Old Cao, go and bring in the swordsmith."
Vice Admiral Cao hesitated for a moment, and wanted to persuade Fang Zilan to take a rest, but seeing her expression deep in thought, she still didn't say anything, so she obediently went out and brought the person in.
After Mr. Zhu Jian entered the door, Fang Zilan asked Vice General Cao to guard the outside and no one was allowed in. He also asked Awan to check all the doors and windows to make sure there was no one around before he could feel at ease.
"A-Wan has met the young master." A-Wan said and bowed, his expression serious and not as funny as usual.
The sword-maker ignored her, but walked step by step to Fang Zilan, who was sitting in the main seat. He knelt down and reached out to hold her hand, "Are you sick?"
"No, it was poisoning. There is no serious problem now." Fang Zilan let him hold her hand, with a complicated look in her eyes, "Why did you come to Yanzhou? If those people in Beijing find out..."
"Awan." He suddenly interrupted her and said coldly: "I want you to take care of Lan'er. Is this how you take care of her?"
A Wan was so frightened that she knelt down and said, "A Wan knows I was wrong."
"I was not careful, I don't blame A Wan." Fang Zilan patted the back of Mr. Sword Builder's hand reassuringly.
Even though he had a different face, she knew it was him as soon as she met those eyes.
Ji Ningtian was the only person in the world that she could never forget.
"You haven't answered me yet, why did you come to Yanzhou?" Fang Zilan frowned slightly, and his voice was a bit urgent, but Ji Ningtian smiled softly, "Lan'er doesn't like me coming here?"
"I..." Fang Zilan was stunned by his question and whispered: "No, I'm afraid that you will fall into someone else's trap."
"I couldn't worry about you, so I came to take a look." Ji Ningtian held her hand a little tighter, "You sent a message to me and asked me to help you persuade the Fang family and Ouyang family to propose marriage. I'm worried You can't handle it alone, and you are being bullied in Yanzhou. I can only feel at ease when I see you with my own eyes."
"If I will be bullied, how can I be the sharpest sword in your hand?" Although Fang Zilan looked helpless, she felt a little more warmth in her chest.
At this moment, she seemed to suddenly understand why Fang Zilan had a deep love for Ji Ningtian in ancient times. Even if it were herself, she couldn't completely reject Ji Ningtian in her heart.
