"I'm sorry? These are the three most useless words in the world." Fang Zilan said coldly: "Can your gentle apology erase the pain and hurt Zi Rou has suffered?"
Ouyang Zongrui struggled hard, his face flushed red and veins bulging, but he couldn't escape the feeling of suffocation, the murderous intent rushing towards him, and the imminent death. The fear of annihilation swallowed up all his senses and was a despair he had never experienced before.
Seeing Ouyang Zongrui's breath weakening, Fang Zilan let go of his hand, "Killing you will only dirty my hands. You don't deserve to die so easily."
Before she finished speaking, she heard a muffled sound. Looking back, she saw Ouyang Zirou kowtowing three times to Mrs. Ouyang's body. Her hands, wrapped in snow-white gauze, were folded in front of her forehead. In the blink of an eye, it was all red. .
"Zirou..." Fang Zilan's expression was dark and unclear. Before she could go over to help her, she saw Ouyang Zirou standing up and walking towards her.
She stretched out her hand, but didn't even touch the corner of Ouyang Zirou's clothes. She was stunned and a white gauze oozing with blood flashed past, falling directly on Ouyang Zongrui's face, leaving a red mark.
Ouyang Zirou bit her lips tightly, trying to speak but unable to make a sound. Fang Zilan recognized the shape of her mouth, which vaguely said, "From now on, you are no longer my brother."
Ouyang Zongrui seemed to notice it too. His eyes were red and he muttered sorry in a low voice. He was filled with regret but it didn't help.
He lost, he lost everything, only his hands were full of blood, which could not be washed away no matter what. For the rest of my life, I will live in the blood and light, and I will never be able to get out.
Ouyang Zirou turned her back and stopped looking at Ouyang Zongrui. Fang Zilan put his arms around her shoulders, blocking other people's eyes from looking at her, and led her out of the Ouyang family ancestral hall.
Huangfuxin and Shangguanmin followed quickly. Wang Lingyuan looked at their backs and hesitated to speak. Finally, she lowered her eyes, and under the gaze of everyone, she walked to Ouyang Juncheng in a compromising manner and called out "husband" softly.
I don’t know whether it was because of something in his heart or something else. Shangguan Min, who had already reached the door of the ancestral hall, suddenly stopped, turned back to look at Wang Lingyuan and said: "Madam, you are the daughter of the Wang family. The wind and sand in the north have not shaken you at all, let alone the capital." Yunyu?"
"Master Fang, wait a minute." Fang Lihui said to persuade him to stay, "It's rare that Master Fang is here today, so he might as well stay as a witness."
Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Witness?"
"Master Fang must have watched a play at our house." Fang Lihui raised his eyebrows and raised his lips, smiling gracefully. "If the play is not good, Lihui will let Mr. Fang do what he wants."
His words were so frivolous and ambiguous that Awan couldn't help but frown and said coldly: "Fang Lihui, do you know who you are talking to?"
"Of course I know." Fang Lihui nodded slightly, looked at Fang Zilan and asked, "I wonder what Master Fang wants?"
"Okay." Fang Zilan agreed without hesitation.
Awan tugged at her sleeves and winked at her, telling her not to meddle in her own business, but she ignored them and simply let them go and followed everyone into the front hall.
After a few people sat down, Fang Lihui looked at Fang Zilan and said straight to the point: "Master Fang came to visit in person, but for business in the north?"
"Exactly." Fang Zilan nodded and asked: "I think Mr. Fang already knows about the matter in the North. I wonder if the business I handed over to Mr. Fang will be damaged?"
"Master Fang is too unsure of me." Fang Lihui stroked his fan and chuckled. Fang Zilan said quietly: "If the money is delivered on time, I will have confidence in Mr. Fang."
She spoke so straightforwardly that even Fang Lihui was choked for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "The situation was still unclear a year ago. If money from the North flows into Mr. Fang's house, I'm afraid..."
He did not continue, but Fang Zilan knew what he meant. She nodded slightly and said, "Young Master Fang is considerate and considerate, and I am not a ungrateful person. Therefore, I am just here to ask for an account today, not to ask for an apology."
"Master Fang said this, I feel at ease." Fang Lihui shook the folding fan lightly, still looking like a swinger, "I will ask the accountant of the house to send the account book later, and after Master Fang looks over it, I will have all the money collected. Send it to Mr. Fang’s house.”
"Thank you, Mr. Fang." Fang Zilan said, taking the tea cup at hand and tasting it carefully, "This tea..."
"Sir, the law-enforcement elders are here." The housekeeper who came in a hurry interrupted Fang Zilan's unspoken words. She put the tea cup back to its place, glanced at the several law-enforcement elders who came in, and stopped talking. .
One of the law-enforcement elders rushed to Fang Lihui angrily and scolded him, "Fang Lihui, it's only been a few months and you've made such a fuss again. Do you think the Fang family has been embarrassed enough?"
Fang Lihui showed no reaction at all. He was playing with the folding fan as if no one was around, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.
The law-enforcement elder was immediately furious and reached out to grab Fang Lihui's collar, but was stopped by another law-enforcement elder behind him, motioning him to look at Fang Zilan, Awan and Cong Rong.
"Okay, there are more than one." The leader of the law enforcement elders laughed angrily, "Fang Lihui, you are indeed very good!"
"Uncle Clan, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense." Fang Lihui suddenly put away his folding fan, his expression became a little sharper, "This Lord Yue Kingdom is not something you and I can talk about casually."
"Master Yue Guo Gongfang?" The law-enforcing elder was stunned on the spot, and the others behind him were also stunned.
For a moment, everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on Fang Zilan, but she waved her hand nonchalantly, "This is your Fang family's family matter, don't worry about me."
Although she said this, she remained motionless and had no intention of leaving. Several elders of the Fang family could not figure out her intentions and did not dare to act rashly. They immediately sat down one by one in a polite manner.
The elder who initially launched the attack was obviously a bad-tempered person. He lost his temper as soon as he sat down and asked, "What's going on?"
Cong Rong, who was in the lower seat, slowly stood up and walked to the center of the hall to stand. She was pregnant with Liujia and had difficulty moving, so she could only bow to the elders who enforced the rules as a salute.
Just listen to her timid voice: "The little girl Cong Rong is the daughter of the Cong family in the suburbs of Beijing. Her family works on the Fang family's village. We originally had one-third of an acre of land, but for some reason last year, the head of the village said there was no harvest. Well, they wanted to lose my family's land and drive my whole family out of Zhuangzi. My father went to the Zhuangtou to argue, but he was beaten so hard that he became bedridden. I had no choice but to go to the Zhuangtou, and the Zhuangtou said yes. He had no choice but to obey Master Fang Lihui's orders. I was forced to surrender to Master Fang Lihui, and only then did Zhuangtou obey his orders and let my family go..."
