"Master Fang, it's time to take the medicine." Xiao Xuan'er's voice brought Fang Zilan back from her thoughts. She raised her hand and lightly frowned, and asked casually: "How did Miss Xiao find out about Princess Rongan's selection of a son-in-law?"
"If my guess is correct, Princess Rongan has someone in her heart." Xiao Xuan'er put the medicine bowl next to Fang Zilan's hand and saw her frowning slightly, "Why did Miss Xiao say this?"
"Prince Rong'an entered the palace this morning and told His Majesty that Princess Rongan will make a decision in three days." Before Xiao Xuan'er finished speaking, Fang Zilan looked stern, "Are these the exact words of King Rong'an?"
"Yes." Xiao Xuan'er nodded slightly, "Since the princess has made the decision, I guess there is someone in the princess's heart. However, she cannot confirm the other party's intentions. We will have to wait until three days to find out."
"If so, things would be simple." Fang Zilan said thoughtfully: "But, will King Rongan really let the princess choose her own son-in-law and just sit back and watch?"
"Everyone in the southeast knows that King Rongan indulges women." Xiao Xuan'er said while thinking: "If Princess Rongan uses any extreme method, I'm afraid King Rongan may not let it go."
Fang Zilan nodded, "Can I please tell Miss Xiao to tell Zheng Yan that we will keep an eye on the Royal Post House for the past two days and report any trouble? I would like to see who Princess Rongan's sweetheart is?"
"Okay." Xiao Xuan'er watched Fang Zilan drink the medicine and comforted: "Master Fang is getting better now, so it's better not to worry too much. Miss Awan also said that Master Fang needs to rest in peace."
"Awan is still being held in Jingzhao Yin Mansion, can I feel at ease?" Fang Zilan shook his head helplessly, "Fortunately, Awan's medicine works. Apart from the occasional lethargy and fatigue these days, I have nothing else. By the way, Where is Mo Han? Speaking of which, I didn’t see him yesterday. What were you doing, why didn’t you even go home? "
"Although the case in Shiliang Town has been properly solved, it is not an isolated case. After Mr. Mo returned to Beijing, he has been discussing with all the adults in the Criminal Department. He is very busy every day." Xiao Xuan'er collected the medicine bowl and said: "Yesterday Master Mo sent someone back to deliver a message, saying that it was late, so he stayed at the Ministry of Punishment. By then, Master Fang, you had gone to bed, so I didn't disturb you."
Fang Zilan felt a little at ease, "As long as nothing happens. I'm going to see Princess Erya tomorrow, so you don't have to tell her."
Three days later, in the evening, after Ah Shi had dinner, Fang Lihui came to the side room to look for him, "Young Master, the three-day period has come. What do you think?"
Ah Shi was silent for a while, then asked without answering, "Does Mr. Fang want me to stay in the Fang family?"
"Of course I hope." Fang Lihui smiled slightly, but his hand holding the fan handle tightened involuntarily.
"In that case, let's make an offer." Ah Shi looked calm, "If Mr. Fang's offer satisfies me, I will stay in the Fang family."
"I don't need to make an offer." The smile on Fang Lihui's face faded a bit, "As long as your target is Mr. Fang, staying in the Fang family is the best choice."
Ah Shi met his gaze, completely free of the embarrassment of having her thoughts exposed. She was completely different from the obedient and shy young man next to Zi Lan in front of her. "I want to be someone who can stand side by side with Mr. Fang. I am not the only one from the Fang family." A choice."
"Yes." Fang Lihui's fingers caressed the folding fan inch by inch, and the shrewd look in his eyes was clearly visible, "But other options are not good enough."
As he spoke, he put the folding fan in his hand on the table and said word by word: "My young master, although you are extremely talented, you are now over sixteen, half an age. If you want to achieve success in learning in a short time, , or even being able to stand side by side with Mr. Fang, do you have any better choice besides the Fang family?"
"Young Master Fang, do you think you can convince me with just a few words?" Ah Shi smiled suddenly, his eyes still extremely clear, but with an inexplicable coldness, "I am not indispensable to the Fang family, but Young Master Fang is indispensable to me, right? "
Fang Lihui also smiled, and he indeed saw the right person. Just based on what I found in three days, I dared to negotiate terms with him. It's a pity that I don't have to use this kind of manipulation of people's minds in shopping malls.
He simply looked like he had been poked in a sore spot and said generously: "Young master, you might as well just tell me, what do you want?"
"Whether it's Mr. Fang or Mr. Fang, it's easy for you to check me out. I have nothing to hide." Ah Shi said to himself: "When my father was a thug in the past few years, I also secretly followed him to see him. At that time, I felt that human life was like an ant, and I didn’t want to be such an ant. Later, when I was sold to a flower house, I thought about how to climb a high branch to escape the fate of an ant."
He smiled self-deprecatingly, "But then I realized that it is a sin to be too good-looking. When I couldn't help myself, I wished I could destroy these eyes."
He tapped his eyes lightly, and Fang Lihui suddenly felt a chill rising up, and couldn't help but put away the folding fan in his hand.
"Fortunately, I endured it, but I was still tortured." Ah Shi pursed her lips, picked up the teacup at hand as if casually, and took a sip, "When life was worse than death, I met Mr. Fang. She She is willing to be my high branch, and I am willing to keep her evergreen forever."
He didn't put down the hand holding the teacup. When his sleeves slipped down, Fang Lihui could clearly see the deep and shallow scars on his arms. There were burns and cuts. The cause of the injuries could not be seen in the dense areas, only the new ones. The skin is wrinkled like a silent grievance.
It was not difficult for Fang Lihui to imagine what Ah Shi had gone through. After all, he was also a man who started out in a romantic business. He knew very well how to deal with such a disobedient young man. However, as his business grew, he no longer bothered with these matters.
Now that I suddenly see these injuries, I feel a little uncomfortable. The young man in front of him is indeed a good negotiator. Even he can use it mercilessly. There will be no limit to the future.
Fang Lihui thought this and felt a little regretful. He thought sadly, why didn't the Fang family have such a young man who was thoughtful, capable and courageous?
Finally, Mo Han broke the silence, "Sister Lan, everyone can see that A Shi is interested in you. Now that he has gone to the Fang family, it is not a bad thing."
However, Fang Zilan was rejected the next day, Princess Erya said she was ill, and Commander Di Rong also looked cold, unwilling to say a word other than basic politeness.
After understanding the other party's attitude, Fang Zilan didn't stay any longer and turned around to leave the post house.
Princess Erya looked indifferent when she heard the report, and then retreated, leaving only the maid beside her, who was also her cousin.
"Erya, do you really want to do this?" The cousin's voice was trembling. Princess Erya took out a wooden box from her sleeve and gently touched it with her fingers, "I will exchange my life for the prosperity of the Wu family. This deal , not a loss.”
