The woman said with sadness, "Every time my officials bring out one or two Shangguan women in the name of purchasing, they will be delivered to Huo Sanniang. Don't look at Huo Sanniang's face as the boss of Jinxi Tower. , but privately he is a flesh and blood businessman."
Awan was curious and couldn't help but interjected, "Even if it's a flower building, it's not illegal. Why doesn't Huo Sanniang do it openly?"
"Ordinary flower houses are indeed not illegal. But the business that Huo Sanniang does..." The woman paused, sighed and continued, "There are always some rich and powerful people who play different tricks. , it may cause death. Huo Sanniang’s business is with them. "
Hearing this, Fang Zilan and Awan felt their hearts tremble. No wonder the corpses of the women they saw in the court were covered with scars, and there was no good skin on them.
"The woman who had trouble with Huo Sanniang was handled by Zhang De and Zhao Jinqian. One of them works as an errand in a government office, and the other works as a retainer in a noble family. They certainly have some ideas." After the woman finished speaking, she looked at her expression. The three depressed people did not dare to say anything more.
It took a while before I heard Fang Zilan's voice, "Then why did they find you and your wife?"
"I'm not looking for him," the woman said cautiously, "Zhang De is my cousin. He was the one who recommended me when an official from my family came to work at Mr. Fang's house."
"After planning for so long, costing so many lives, and seeing that we are about to fall short, is it worth it?" The person who spoke was A Wan, her expression was dark and unclear, and she could not bear to feel sad.
The woman shook her head nonchalantly, "Even if you know it, there is no evidence, so it is not a failure. And this is just the beginning. There are so many people dissatisfied with Mr. Fang, how can it end so easily?"
As the woman spoke, she suddenly chuckled, "That's right, how can a woman sit in this position?"
"You are also a woman." Fang Zilan suddenly said.
The woman was still laughing, "So what? As a woman, shouldn't you keep to yourself? Can you stand firm when you climb so high?"
"Women should keep to themselves. Should men do what they do?" Fang Zilan's voice was cold and firm, "I don't like this statement."
As she spoke, she raised the corners of her lips and smiled wantonly and seductively, "All of you want to see me ruined, but I insist on standing in this high position and making you a joke."
"It's useless. It's useless what you do." The woman laughed louder and louder, and looked at Fang Zilan with a more pity look on her face. "They want to frame you, so everything has been prepared. No. It will keep you alive.”
"Really?" Fang Zilan stopped smiling a little and suddenly changed her voice, "Your official is dead a long time ago. I just lied to you."
"What did you say?" The woman froze on the spot, her smile that had no time to restrain, coupled with her shock and astonishment, was indescribably funny.
"But one thing, I didn't lie to you." Fang Zilan still had a smile on her face, but she had a bit more cruel killing intent, "I have always liked the beauty of adults, and now I will send you to meet your officials."
As soon as Fang Zilan finished speaking, Awan took a step forward with understanding and poured the medicine into the woman's mouth neatly. The woman struggled to no avail and finally fell over with her head tilted.
Shangguan Qi stared blankly at the woman lying on the ground, and asked in disbelief: "She...is dead?"
"You heard just now that her family member faked his death. Since I asked her to accompany my family member, do you think she is dead or alive?" Fang Zilan said, looking at the people on the ground with a bit of disdain in her eyes.
Seeing Shangguan Fei's confused look, Awan explained kindly: "It's just a fake death medicine. This medicine will make her lose her breath and become like a dead person, but in reality she will only be in a coma for seven hours. I also used it on the housekeeper to let him sleep. If it lasts longer, the effect should be good.”
"Well done." Fang Zilan nodded approvingly, but his eyes still stayed on the woman. His whole person was indescribably cold, "If you want to be a villain, you don't even have the consciousness to die. The loser is doomed. It’s you.”
Vice General Cao, who had just finished cleaning up the backyard, walked to the front hall and heard Fang Zilan's words. He couldn't help but stop and stood at the door, looking at the decisive man in the hall who was flicking his sleeves.
Her eyebrows showed indescribable determination, and just listening to her voice, she said word by word: "Now in the whole house, the only people I trust the most are you three. Therefore, if you don't want to go through this muddy world with me, People in the water, leave now. If you stay, you must not betray me. If you trust me, I will not betray you and will definitely take you out."
As soon as Fang Zilan finished speaking, she heard Shangguan Fei chuckle, "Don't you think it's a little late, Mr. Fang?"
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the person on the main seat with clear eyes, "Master Fang sealed the mansion just now when he came back. At this time, people with ulterior motives may have been waiting outside the mansion. In this dilemma, we have no choice, right?"
"Shangguan Fei, you are too underestimated by our Lord Fang." The person who responded to Shangguan Fei was A Wan, "As long as you open your mouth, she will definitely ensure that you leave the house safe and sound."
Awan raised her eyebrows, and there was an inexplicable willfulness in her beautiful eyebrows, "Even if it's a dilemma, so what?"
Only then did Shangguan Fei understand why this girl, who was similar to his own age, always had an aura of fearlessness.
A Wan's confidence was due to her deep belief in Zi Lan's strength.
Just like before the Shangguan family was destroyed, he was so confident. He always thought that with the Shangguan family behind him, even if he couldn't do whatever he wanted, he would at least be able to maintain Changning for the rest of his life.
It wasn't until the Shangguan family fell apart that he suddenly realized that nothing in this world was constant, and the only one he could rely on was himself.
"Do you really believe in Mr. Fang?" There was a hint of imperceptible sarcasm in Shangguan Fei's tone.
Awan curled her lips and said nonchalantly: "Believe it. Besides, even if she can't do anything, there are so many of us, we can always do something, and we can't rely on her alone."
Awan changed the subject as she spoke, "I just saw you react very unusually when you heard the name Zhao Jinqian. Do you know him?"
Shangguan Fei was stunned for a moment and did not answer.
Seeing this, Awan continued talking to herself, "If you don't say anything, I will take it as your acquiescence. The woman said that he is a disciple of a noble family. Do you know which noble family it is?"
"I..." Shangguan Fei moved his lips but said nothing.
Fang Zilan stood up and said calmly: "Awan, Shangguan Fei doesn't want to say it, so you don't have to embarrass him. This Zhao Jinqian is a disciple of the Wang family."
"Do you know?" Awan asked casually, and then patted his forehead as if he remembered something, "I remembered that I saw this person at the Wang family during the wedding of the daughter of the Wang family."
"He has indeed gone to the Wang family." Shangguan Fei whispered to himself, but attracted everyone's attention.
