"Master Wei is staying here, waiting for me?" Fang Zilan asked knowingly, and Wei Subaru snorted coldly, "Master Fang, I have fulfilled my promise to you, and you and I will have nothing to do with each other from now on."
Fang Zilan raised her lips noncommittally, "I'm very curious. Mr. Wei should understand better than anyone else what compromise means. If that's the case, why do you still agree to me?"
"Does Master Fang want me to reject you?" Wei Subaru suddenly turned cold, "Or do you want me to kill you to avoid future troubles?"
"Master Wei, you can't kill me." Fang Zilan smiled triumphantly, and Wei Subaru sneered, "Master Fang, you are very skilled, but after all, there is only one person."
Hearing this, Fang Zilan suppressed her smile and her expression became a little colder, "The desire is hard to satisfy, isn't Master Wei afraid that I will use this as a handle to blackmail you repeatedly?"
"Hand?" Wei Subaru repeated the word playfully and narrowed his eyes, "Does Mr. Fang think I am afraid of this kind of thing?"
"Since Mr. Wei will agree to me, it means you care." Fang Zilan said softly: "No matter what the handle or the weakness, you can't escape the word "care" after all. The more you care, the easier it is to worry about gains and losses, and ultimately create a cage of fear. Trapped people in it.”
Wei Subaru remained silent while Fang Zilan pushed forward, "I am a person who always does whatever it takes to achieve my goals. If necessary in the future, I will definitely use this as a threat."
"Really?" Wei Subaru didn't seem to believe it, but Fang Zilan nodded, with a dark and unclear look on his face that made Wei Subaru's face sink as he strode away.
Fang Zilan looked at Wei Subaru's back and leaned against the wall as if he had given up all his strength.
She originally thought about many possibilities, but no matter which one, this is an unsolvable game. Even if Mrs. Ouyang can risk everything, she is only one person and cannot compete with the entire Ouyang family.
If no one helps, the truth about Ouyang Zirou's harm will be covered up and buried by the Ouyang family on the grounds that their family scandal cannot be publicized.
Then she thought of Wei Subaru. If he was willing to come forward, the Ouyang family would be somewhat afraid. Plus, she was a witness, so she could fight for fairness for Ouyang Zirou no matter what.
But the most difficult thing is how to ask Wei Subaru to come forward? That day in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, he casually broke Mrs. Ouyang's jade pendant, severing the last relationship between him and Mrs. Ouyang. Such a cold-blooded person would not stand up for a life or a pair of hands.
She thought for a long time before she came up with a deviant strategy. She threatened Wei Subaru to raise a girl with the same appearance as Zhuge Shan, forcing him to support Mrs. Ouyang.
At first, when she threatened her facelessly, Wei Subaru thought it was ridiculous. However, she was well prepared and spoke out her plan calmly——
If Wei Subaru still refuses to agree, she will inform Zhuge Yu about the matter, and then attach the body of the woman who was killed under Xunfang Tower that night.
Based on her understanding of Zhuge Yu, she would not need to do anything by then, and he would personally deal with Wei Subaru until death.
Everyone understands the principle of losing both sides, let alone Wei Subaru. As long as he still has feelings for Zhuge Shan in his heart, he can't do anything to harm the Zhuge family. But he would not let Zhuge Yu torture him, so he compromised.
Everything was as expected, Wei Subaru finally came despite his reluctance. Although the words were stingy, they were enough to support Mrs. Ouyang, and that was enough.
Fang Zilan breathed a long sigh of relief, everything went well, but she did not feel relieved.
Perhaps it was because she didn't understand until just now that Wei Subaru's compromise was not because he felt troublesome or because he was afraid of facing Zhuge Yu, but because he was reluctant to give up. He cares more about the Zhuge family than his reputation or the infighting. Zhugeshan's death was a hurt to them. They had suffered it once and they shouldn't have to suffer it a second time.
The Zhuge family may not know about all the ridiculous things Wei Subaru does behind the scenes, and Zhuge Yu must not know about it. He is the future head of the Zhuge family, and he is destined to stand in the light instead of being caged in the gloom. There are some things he doesn't need to know in this life.
Or maybe it was because she didn't realize until just now that she was indeed an unscrupulous person. It was not the first time she had done this kind of thing, and it would not be the last time she would do it. As long as she can achieve her goal, no matter good or bad, she will use it.
"Lan Lan!" An urgent voice brought Fang Zilan back from her thoughts. She turned around and looked over, only to see Chu Bin standing at the entrance of the alley holding an umbrella. She felt a little isolated in the snow.
Chu Bin stretched out his hand towards Fang Zilan. She slowly walked towards him, held his hand, and then grabbed the handle of the umbrella. The fingers were clenched tightly, as if they were afraid of losing something.
"Lan Lan." Chu Bin's eyes flashed with worry, and his hand covered hers, "I'm here."
"I know." Fang Zilan murmured softly, then lowered his head and closed his eyes. The matter has come to this, no need to ask for forgiveness, as long as the final result is good, everything is worth it.
Chu Bin looked at the person in front of him steadily, and after a while he said: "Lan Lan, there is a new witness in the murder case of Duke Gui."
Fang Zilan suddenly opened her eyes and swept away the depressed look before, "Who is the new witness?"
"A concubine of Pei Pening, Mrs. Ding." Chu Bin deliberately lowered his voice. Fang Zilan was stunned after hearing this, "Then who did she identify as the murderer, Pei Pening?"
Chu Bin shook his head, and Fang Zilan's heart sank, "Is she identifying Fang Zitong?"
"None of them." Chu Bin leaned close to Fang Zilan's ear, "The person Ding identified was the maid of the Pei Mansion, Lianniang."
Fang Zilan felt that the name sounded very familiar, and she quickly thought of it, "You mean, the maid Lianniang who was hidden in the room by Pei Xiaoze?"
Chu Bin nodded slightly, and Fang Zilan asked doubtfully: "Is there any relationship between Lianniang and Duke Jun? Why did she commit such a murderous attack?"
"According to Mrs. Ding's account, Lianniang poisoned Duke Jun to frame Pei Pening." Chu Bin spoke concisely and concisely, and Fang Zilan became increasingly puzzled, "Placing blame on Pei Pening?"
Chu Bin explained: "Pei Pening has coveted the beauty of Lotus Lady for a long time, and took advantage of Pei Xiaoze's absence to take her away. This matter is not a secret in the Pei Mansion."
Fang Zilan's expression froze, "Don't Pei Xiaoze know about this?"
"No one knows about it." Chu Bin sighed softly, "But what is certain is that Fang Zitong knows."
"You mean..." Fang Zilan reacted suddenly, "Lian Niang not only hates Pei Pening for bullying her, but also hates Fang Zitong for knowing about it but turning a blind eye..."
"That's true." Chu Bin nodded and said, "Before, Pei Poming had a grudge against Duke Jui because he was imprisoned in the mansion. In a moment of anger, he sent someone to secretly buy poison, but he didn't have the guts to poison him. Instead, Lianniang did it. Lianniang knew that Duke Jun and Fang Zitong had many conflicts, so she originally wanted to put poison on Fang Zitong's sleeve arrows. However, Fang Zitong always carried the sleeve arrows with her, and she couldn't find a chance to do it, so she changed her method. Case After the report was made, the attention of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion was all on Fang Zitong and Pei Boning, and no one noticed her. If Ding had not taken the initiative to report her, it would have been difficult to find her. "
