After Fang Zilan returned home, she didn't see Xiao Xuan'er and couldn't help but frown slightly, "Where is Miss Xiao?"
"Didn't Sister Xiao listen to your order to go to Jiangnan to do something..." Awan muttered behind her, and she reacted suddenly, but still asked calmly: "Then what's going on with you two? "
Cong Rong bit her red lips lightly, "Master Fang, don't blame Miss Awan, it's all my fault. I was accidentally caught by the Pei family, and Miss Awan came back to save me..."
Her voice weakened as she spoke, and Awan added: "Yeah, fortunately I was smart and didn't get caught by them. Otherwise, there wouldn't even be a person to deliver the message. You don't have to die in a hurry..."
"Why am I anxious?" Fang Zilan interrupted her quietly, "If you are all arrested and no one reports to me, then I know that it will be a month before the news is released, so why worry?"
Awan curled her lips and Fang Zilan asked: "Why didn't Miss Xiao join you?"
"Well..." Awan leaned close to her ear and whispered: "We met the Wheel King on the road. I don't know what he said to Sister Xiao. Sister Xiao left in a hurry after hearing this."
Fang Zilan knew clearly in her heart that Xiao Xuan'er left in a hurry because of something happening in Qianjinfang. It seemed that A Wan and Cong Rong returned to Beijing not because they knew something, but because they were forced. If they had not been kidnapped by Pei's people, they would not have come back.
"Master Fang..." Cong Rong's voice sounded every now and then, "Am I causing trouble for you?"
Before Fang Zilan could speak, Awan waved her hands and said, "It's nothing. It's all Pei's people who use their power to bully others and do evil. Sister Cong, just be fine."
Mo Han, who had been silent until now, also echoed: "Don't worry, Miss Cong, this matter will be handled by the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and it will be fine with Sister Lan."
Cong Rong lowered her head and shed tears uncontrollably, "If I didn't have such a good skin, I wouldn't have killed my family, and wouldn't have implicate Mr. Fang and Miss Awan..."
family? Fang Zilan was stunned, and she finally understood where her weird feeling came from. When she was at Fang's house, Cong Rong suddenly fainted after hearing the bad news about her family. A Wan was present to check her pulse, so her reaction could not have been faked.
But later Xiao Xuan'er found out that her so-called family members were actually human traffickers. Logically speaking, how could she, a trafficked girl, have such deep feelings for her traffickers?
Thinking of this, Fang Zilan's eyes became more scrutinized, but she still comforted Cong Rong and said: "Miss Cong, you are such a good person, others can only ask for it. How can it be your fault? The fault is always those who harbor evil intentions."
She deliberately emphasized the word "harboring evil intentions", but Cong Rong didn't seem to hear it, and nodded gratefully, "I took note of it, thank you Mr. Fang."
"The Jingzhao Yin Mansion will definitely summon you to testify in the future. Don't be afraid, I will accompany you." Fang Zilan patted Cong Rong on the shoulder, tears glistening in her eyes, "I'm not afraid."
Seeing this, Fang Zilan comforted her, and then asked Awan to take her back to the house to rest. Mo Han watched the two people disappear and then said, "Sister Lan, what do you think of today's events?"
Fang Zilan was silent, and Mo Han continued talking to himself, "It seems that even though Pei Pening's subordinates did evil, Fang Zitong is actually the person behind it. If I guess correctly, this Fang The second lady wanted to use Pei Pening to fight back against the Pei family, so she made him and his subordinates become lawless, and then waited for an opportunity to push him into a place of eternal destruction."
Fang Zilan sighed, but still didn't make a sound, so Mo Han continued: "It was most likely Fang Zitong who facilitated Miss Cong's abduction. She wanted to use you, Sister Lan, as a knife..."
"I know." Fang Zilan suddenly stopped what he was saying, "If her marriage to the Pei family is indeed related to me, then what if I make a knife for her?"
"But Duke Jun is not an easy person. Sooner or later, he will find out what Fang Zitong has done. Then I'm afraid..." Before Mo Han finished speaking, Fang Zilan made a silent gesture and gestured to him, "Ah Wan is here."
Sure enough, Awan ran in jumping up and down after a while, "Fang Zilan..."
She opened her mouth hesitantly, and Fang Zilan looked at her amusedly, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Awan took a deep breath and said in one breath as if pouring beans: "I failed to save Sister Cong, do you blame me? But even if I use poison, it will be difficult for me to escape unscathed. I don't want to kill anyone and expose myself." Identity, that will implicate you. And are you hiding something from me? Otherwise, why did you send us all out? But why is brother Mo Han still here? Do you want him to die with you and are not willing to let me accompany you? Really? I’ve told you before, I’m not afraid of death!”
She said whatever came to her mind, and Fang Zilan listened quietly. It wasn't until she let out a long sigh of relief that she said, "Have you finished? Have a sip of tea."
Mo Han handed over some tea, and A Wan took it and drank it in one gulp. Then she blinked and asked, "Did I guess it right?"
Fang Zilan reached out and touched her head with a gentle expression, "Awan, I don't blame you. Remember, no matter when and where, the most important thing is to protect yourself. Only if you escape unharmed can you be a good person to others." Fight for a chance of survival, otherwise it will be a meaningless sacrifice and the entire army will be annihilated."
Awan pursed her lips thoughtfully, "Then you..."
As soon as she said this, she heard Fang Zilan say: "Awan, please help me bring a message to the young master."

When Awan told Ji Ningtian that the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was a scam, he was not surprised, but nodded to show that he knew.
After Awan left, Wu Qing walked into Hong'an Pavilion, bowed respectfully and said, "Sir, everything is as planned."
"Get up and talk." Ji Ningtian raised his hand, and Wu Qing stood up and said: "Wu Sheng is dead. Pei Pening is temporarily detained in the Jingzhao Yin Mansion. The matter of revising the law will be handed over to Mr. Gu naturally, no later than the Mid-Autumn Festival. After that, the revised law will be made public, and by then everyone, whether from aristocratic families or poor families, will attack in groups, and Li Shengxuan may not have time to take care of other things."
She paused and said, "Over in Persia, the head of the Anru family has agreed to form an alliance, but as long as the head of the Sasanian family is here, he cannot influence the situation in Persia. There is no news about Murong Qing. He was already worried about Mr. Zuo's incident. Ji Ji fell in love with Zi Xiu, and if he knew that Duke Yue and Zi Xiu of the Ghost Sect were the same person, he would definitely be unwilling to cooperate."
"If Murong Qing knew that Lan'er was Zixiu, how could he be so calm? Let him wait for a while before talking." A cold light appeared in Ji Ningtian's eyes, "Go tell Patriarch An Ru and ask him not to act rashly. When the time is right, I will give him a big gift."
He said as if he was remembering something, and asked: "Where is Cong Rong? Hasn't Lan'er noticed it?"
"No, Cong Rong had already guessed that something was going on in the capital. Before he could take any action, he met Pei's people and planned the trick back." Wu Qing thought for a while and said, "Fang Zitong did too deliberately about Pei Pening. , even if Zixiu is suspicious, she will only suspect that Fang Zitong made a knife out of her."
