Seeing Fang Zilan walking in a hurry, Chu Bin quickly followed him, "I'll go with you."
"No, just go back home and take care of Miss Dongxue." Fang Zilan kept walking and whispered: "If the Pei family really wants to go to court with Miss Fang Er in the future, Miss Dongxue will be the witness, and she may be the only Fang Er. Witness in Miss’s favor.”
"Okay." Chu Bin agreed, but had no intention of leaving.
Fang Zilan stopped, looked back at him, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You're injured..." Chu Bin said, moving his eyes down and landing on Fang Zilan's gray and black clothes.
"No." Fang Zilan straightened the hem of his clothes and said warmly: "It's just that the clothes were ruined, so it's okay."
Chu Bin pursed his lips and did not continue to ask. He only told him "be careful in everything" and then turned around and returned home.
Fang Zilan watched his figure disappear, then breathed a sigh of relief, moved a few steps towards the street, raised her hand to support the wall, and slowly leaned over.
The cold touch stung her, and the pain in her feet was suppressed a bit. She couldn't help but think of Fang Zitong, a young lady with such delicate skin and tender flesh who had been pampered and raised since childhood. She had never suffered or been injured, but now she was like this...
"Sister Lan." Mo Han's voice suddenly sounded, pulling Fang Zilan back from her thoughts. She had long noticed that someone was approaching, and after recognizing that it was Mo Han, she no longer had the strength to pretend.
"Didn't you go to see Mr. Fang off? Why are you back again?" Fang Zilan's voice was hoarse, revealing indescribable exhaustion.
"Because I know that there are people who are injured but still show off their strength." Mo Han walked up to her and stretched out his hand, "So I am here to be her crutch."
Fang Zilan lowered her eyes and said, "Just now Chu Bin also saw that I was injured."
"Sister Lan is injured. Even if she hides it well, there will always be people who can see it, but they may not say it out loud." Mo Han looked serious, but there was a hint of pride in his distressed tone, "They dare not expose you, but I’m different.”
"It's not that Chu Bin didn't dare to expose me." Fang Zilan raised the corners of her lips helplessly, "He's just used to it."
Chu Bin accepted her solitude, lies and truth, caution and trust. It is not only a habit, but also a tacit understanding between them.
"I understand." Mo Han still didn't take his hand back, Fang Zilan put his hand on it, letting him support her, and slowly walked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Not long after the two walked out, Mo Han found a carriage and helped Fang Zilan sit in it.
So just as Fang Zitong returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fang Zilan and Mo Han arrived. Fang Lixing, who heard that the butler had come to report, walked back and forth in the hall several times and finally invited them in.
"Master Yue Guo Gong, Mr. Mo." Fang Lixing hurried forward to greet him. His expression showed a hint of uneasiness, but he still said with a smile: "Thank you for your help today, otherwise my sister would have suffered a lot. I I would like to thank both of you."
He was about to salute as he spoke, but Fang Zilan stopped his movements, "Master Fang, there is no need to be polite. I know you have concerns, but now that your sister is back, the deal is settled and there is no going back on it."
Hearing this, Fang Lixing lowered his head and clenched his hands into fists. Fang Zilan revealed his thoughts with one word, and he simply said directly: "Your Majesty the Duke of Yue, my father has been away from the capital recently. Even though I want to protect my sister, I am really powerless..."
"Since I brought your sister from the Pei family, I will be responsible to the end." Fang Zilan said lightly: "Before your father, the Prime Minister, returns to the capital, I will stay at your residence, so Mr. Fang can rest assured."
Fang Lixing seemed to be relieved, "With the words of Duke Yue, I feel relieved."
Before he finished speaking, Fang Zilan saw the housekeeper walking in and said something in his ear. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he looked over and said, "Is Lord Yue Guoguo injured?"
"It doesn't matter." Fang Zilan waved his hand, and Fang Lixing hurriedly said: "There is a doctor in the house. If the Duke of Yue does not dislike it, I will invite him over right away."
"No need." Fang Zilan calmed down, "Master Fang, please get some medicine for me. Just find a side room. I can handle it myself."
Fang Lixing didn't say much, and ordered the housekeeper to take Fang Zilan and Mo Han to the side room and deliver them some medicine.
On one side of the screen in the room, Fang Zilan was applying medicine. On the other side, Mo Han hesitated, "Sister Lan..."
"You want to ask Fang Lixing?" Although it was a question, Fang Zilan was very sure.
Mo Han was silent, and Fang Zilan continued speaking, "You must be thinking, why are all the daughters of the Fang family in the prime minister's house outstanding, but all the sons are unknown, and they seem to be quite troubled when they meet today?"
"Yes." Mo Han's voice was very soft, and Fang Zilan heard it and sighed softly, "The Prime Minister knows that it is not easy for women to establish themselves, so he is a rare person in this era who favors girls over boys. The direct descendant of the Fang family of the Prime Minister's Office The eldest daughter, who is now the Queen, has been a famous young lady in Beijing since she was a child. With her supporting the family, others would not dare to underestimate the daughter of the Fang family of the prime minister's house. But because of this, the other children are protected Very good."
Mo Han said: "For example, Miss Fang Er and Master Fang?"
Fang Zilan whispered: "Second Miss Fang has been extremely dependent on her eldest sister since she was a child and respects her extremely. Master Fang is different. On the one hand, he admires his eldest sister, but on the other hand, he hopes that he can also take charge of his own role. However, the prime minister treats him very much. It was harsh, but over time he felt that he was not as good as his eldest sister in everything and was just a dispensable person in the Fang family of the prime minister's house, so he became mediocre and became what he is now."
"As a parent, it's really not easy to keep a bowl of water balanced." Mo Han sighed with emotion, and Fang Zilan moved out from behind the screen, "Even the prime minister always cares about one thing and neglects the other, let alone the parents of ordinary families? "
Mo Han said sadly: "Does the Prime Minister know?"
"I think I know it." Fang Zilan supported the screen and stood firmer, "The prime minister has been helping Mr. Fang do things intentionally or unintentionally in the past two years, but..."
She did not continue, but Mo Han understood clearly, "The Fang family has made many enemies, and Mr. Fang's career as an official may not be easy."
"That's right." Fang Zilan slowly walked towards the door with the support of Mo Han, "Earlier, Mr. Fang took over the water transportation and encountered the Ministry of Revenue's seizure of the Fang family's cargo ship. Although it was said that Jui Guo was behind this incident. The father put pressure on the Fang family to marry Second Miss Fang, but he was somewhat implicated and became a lot depressed."
"What about you, Sister Lan?" Mo Han couldn't help but ask. Fang Zilan smiled and said, "I don't remember."
She spoke lightly, and then quickly changed her tone, "I'll stay here, you go back."
After Mo Han left, Fang Zilan went to take a nap, but she never thought that she would sleep until dark.
After she woke up, she walked around. When passing by Fang Zitong's boudoir, she suddenly heard a scream coming from inside. It was disturbing. She was afraid that something would happen to Fang Zitong, so she rushed over quickly.
