However, under this situation, Fang Zilan didn't have time to think about it, and immediately pulled Pei Xiaoze over and said, "Master Pei got drunk at the Ouyang family today, why did he come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to play drunk and go crazy?"
"I..." As soon as Pei Xiaoze opened his mouth, he was pinched hard by Fang Zilan secretly, and he said calmly: "What happened today not only involves the reputation of Mr. Pei and Miss Fang, but also my face. My temper. No, if I hear a single word from you in the future, I will cut out the tongues of everyone present today and feed them to the dogs."
Her last words were so serious that the housekeeper and all the maids and servants were so frightened that they trembled and hurriedly bowed and said they didn't dare.
Pei Xiaoze pursed his lips into a straight line and stared closely at Fang Zitong, but saw that she remained silent and turned back to the inner courtyard.
"Master Pei, are you waiting to be invited out by the Prime Minister's Mansion, or are you going out with me?" Fang Zilan said and let go of his hand, straightening his sleeves unhurriedly.
Pei Xiaoze didn't say anything, just said goodbye, turned around and left.
Fang Zilan glanced around at the other people in the courtyard. Her cold eyes were an obvious warning, so they didn't dare to act rashly. It wasn't until she walked out of the house that the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief. His legs were so weak that he almost stumbled over.
"Master Fang, please stay." Pei Xiaoze called out to Fang Zilan. She stopped and looked sideways at him, "What does Master Pei want to tell me?"
"I just want to know why Miss Fang Er wants... to..." Pei Xiaoze couldn't say anything, and Fang Zilan said seriously: "If you want to know the answer, you need to answer me a question first."
Pei Xiaoze took a step forward, got closer to Fang Zilan, and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Fang."
"Before I entered the government office, why did you come to me to explain the official uniform?" Fang Zilan asked abruptly. Even Pei Xiaoze couldn't help but be stunned for a while before saying: "At that time, Mr. Fang was the Duke of Beiguo. After entering the government office, Even if he is not my direct boss..."
"That's enough, I understand." Fang Zilan interrupted Pei Xiaoze abruptly. He didn't know why and said, "Master Fang, what do you mean?"
Fang Zilan calmed her expression and said, "If Mr. Pei wants to know the answer, you might as well ask your good cousin, Duke Jun, and ask him what he did. I think it will be clear."
"My cousin..." Pei Xiaoze's expression was dark and unclear, and Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "If my guess is correct, if you came to the prime minister's house today, it was your cousin's person who leaked the news to you, right?"
A look of shock appeared on Pei Xiaoze's face. Fang Zilan ignored him and took the carriage back home.
More than half a day passed, but Fang Zilan only felt that her headache was getting worse. She didn't know whether it was because the hangover soup was of no use, or because she was too tired of the continuous farce.
First, Huangfu Xin called off his marriage to Ouyang Zirou, then Fang Zitong wanted to marry Pei Juiqing, and finally Pei Xiaoze...
Thinking of this, Fang Zilan couldn't help but curse inwardly, her taste in looking at people is really bad. When it came to the official uniform, she thought that Pei Xiaoze was a man who could think carefully about women, but she never thought that he was only so considerate because of his high position and power.
Speaking of that day at the back door of Pei's house, Pei Xiaoze kept claiming that he was deeply in love with the woman named Lianniang, but he hid her name in the room. He had the soft fragrance of soft jade in his arms, but he never thought about Lianniang at all. Isn't this selfish?
It makes sense. Pei Jueqing had long seen through Pei Xiaoze's selfishness, so she deliberately let him know the news, knowing that with his temperament, he would definitely come to the Prime Minister's Mansion and cause such a trouble.
The fire is already burning. If someone adds firewood, someone fans the wind, someone adds fuel to the fire...
Fang Zilan only heard a buzz in her head, and then she was left with chaos. Her intuition told her that this matter was like a fire, which would burn stronger and stronger, even...
She didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she had to urge the coachman to return home quickly. After returning home, she went straight to the Nuan Pavilion and sat beside the brazier.
After Mo Han heard that Fang Zilan had returned home, he came to Nuange to look for her, but saw her shrunk into a ball.
"Sister Lan, what's wrong with you?" Mo Han hurriedly walked to her side, and when he was about to reach out to check the temperature of her forehead, she suddenly raised her head, looked at him steadily and said, "Mo Han, I think something is going to happen. ”
The meaningless sentence made Mo Han stop his movements and frown slightly, "What do you mean?"
Fang Zilan told everything she saw and heard outside today. Mo Han looked a little more solemn after listening, "Sister Lan, your intuition is good. If I think correctly, the purpose of Duke Jun's move is to target the Fang family. Suppress the poor."
"Poor family?" Fang Zilan repeated the word and listened to him continue: "Everything can be traced back to its source. If we can kill it from the source, that is the best way. I remember Sister Lan, you once told me that the new person in your government office Officials enter the officialdom with the reputation of being disciples of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and most of the newly promoted students from poor families in various ministries and ministries come from the Prime Minister's Mansion School, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are disciples of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Fang Zilan said: "The reform of civil service emphasizes fairness, and relatively speaking, it favors poor families, and the Prime Minister's Academy is the best source of talent. If this source can be cut off, even if it cannot be completely suppressed, it will make it difficult for poor families to get ahead. "
"That's the truth." Mo Han nodded slightly, "But according to what you said, Miss Fang is not a good person. She especially likes soft things but not hard things. I think Jing Guogong took advantage of her weakness."
"Fang Zitong's weakness?" Fang Zilan thought for a moment and said, "She has two weaknesses. One is the Queen in the palace, and the other is the Fang family. The former will not lose even if she is up against the Empress Dowager. .the latter……"
She paused, "With the Prime Minister's support, who can do anything to the Fang family?"
Mo Han sighed, "The Fang family has the biggest handle. Once it is grasped by others, it is possible to destroy the entire Fang family, let alone the prime minister."
Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, only listening to his faint words: "Sister Lan, your true identity is the biggest handle of the Fang family."
Fang Zilan's expression changed. Now she is the person who stands tallest in the capital city. Her dual identity - Miss Fang San and the ghost family Zixiu. No matter which one is exposed, it will be a storm, and the Fang family will be caught up in it...
Mo Han raised his hand to hold her shoulder, "This is just my guess. What's more, even if Duke Guo Guo really knows that you are Miss Fang San, he will not rashly use this handle as a sword and come straight towards you. . Not to mention that the civil servants and generals are clearly distinguished, let’s just say that the number of people in your house is very small, and the entire Pei family is standing behind Duke Jun. If he cannot guarantee his escape, then there is no benefit in killing you. But if he turns his sword , if you go to the Fang family, it will be a big difference."
As he spoke, he took a breath and then said: "Dong Guo Jun used this as a leverage against the Fang family. I'm afraid he can get what he wants without even a single blow."
"But the Prime Minister is not a weak person and is easy to bully. He..." Fang Zilan did not continue, and Mo Han looked unbearable. "To put it bluntly, if you can't write two square characters in one stroke, it depends on how the Prime Minister chooses."
"No!" Fang Zilan stood up suddenly, "If this matter really has something to do with me, I..."
Mo Han suddenly spoke up and stopped her, "Sister Lan, what can you do?"
