The wind is warm in the middle of the summer, the bustling market is noisy, and the shouts of vendors are mixed with the clatter of horse hooves.
There was silence in the Yongchenghou Mansion, filled with low pressure.
Fang Xu sat on the mahogany chair with her eyes closed tightly, holding her head with one hand and waving a fan with the other. If you look carefully, you can see the slight dark blue under her eyes.
"Mother, just fulfill your daughter's wish!"
There was a girl kneeling in front of her. She had a beautiful face and was dressed in brocade clothes. She was crying with tears in her eyes. She was so pitiful.
Fang Xu sighed, still closing his eyes and ignoring her.
She came through last night, and now she is in a mindless wife novel. She has become the heroine's mother-in-law, a snobbish and cruel mother who tries to separate her from the hero.
The original owner is thirty-two this year, and her husband is Marquis Yongcheng of the Yan Dynasty. He has made many military exploits. The original owner has three sons with him, two sons and one daughter.
She was originally a winner in life, but fate did not follow her wishes. Her husband died in battle, her children were rebellious and alienated, and all of them were not close to her. In the end, she was murdered by her three sons and died on the way home to worship their ancestors.
Kneeling in front of her now is Xie Shu'er, one of the three sons. She has been crying and fussing for an hour and a half in order to marry the poor scholar Pei Heng as she wished.
In the book, Xie Shuer used many insidious tricks to get rid of the mother who was blocking her from heading towards a happy life. It can be said that the death of the original body was directly related to her.
"Mother!" Seeing that Fang Xu was ignoring her, Xie Shu'er looked at her with tears in her eyes, her big eyes full of accusations, "Mother ignored Shu'er, is she still hating that Pei Lang's family is poor and cannot help the Hou Mansion? "
"Why do I disagree? Don't you have any idea?" Fang Xu still didn't open his eyes, his tone was lazy.
She was immersed in the shock of wearing a book last night and stayed up all night. Now she is really sleepy and has no time to talk to this waste with late stage love brain and mental retardation.
Moreover, I tried every means to obstruct my daughter's marriage with Pei Heng, not only because the man named Pei had no money, but because Pei Heng's father was drunk many years ago and beat his mother to death. He was imprisoned and has not been released yet.
The son of a domestic violence murderer came to ask to marry the legitimate daughter of the Hou family. This was really a big joke. It turned out that he only agreed to marry his daughter because he was out of his mind.
According to the laws of Dayan, if one person in the family is imprisoned, the next three generations will not be allowed to take the imperial examination, join the army, or engage in business. Only Xie Shu'er, a stupid fool with a confused mind, will believe that Pei Heng will succeed in the examination.
With such a mind, she is actually a daughter raised by a high-ranking family. It is really a disgrace to her family!
Xie Shuer gritted her teeth and looked like she had been greatly wronged. "My daughter knows in her heart that her mother doesn't like Pei Lang's family background, but...but mother! Her father has passed away, leaving her alone to take care of it. But Pei Lang's family still has the support of his grandfather, and there is still support. In comparison, it is our Hou family who is so high up..."
"Miss, please be careful what you say!" The maid beside Fang Xu took two steps forward and interrupted Xie Shu'er's words.
"Baiji." Fang Xu waved his hand and motioned for her to retreat.
Bai Ji glanced at Fang Xu, his eyes filled with distress. Seeing his wife's determination, he returned to his original position without saying a word.
Xie Shu'er was frightened, and it took her a moment to realize what treacherous words she had said. Her face turned pale, her body froze, and she knelt on the spot.
Fang Xu opened his eyes a little and looked at her slowly, "You have a marriage contract with Yao'er, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. That contract was made by your father before his death. If you want to break off the engagement, go underground and find it." Let’s talk to your father and leave me alone.”
It's best not to get involved with idiots of this level!
"Mother!" Xie Shuer was extremely angry, her face flushed, she clenched her skirt with both hands, and looked at Fang Xu in disbelief, "My daughter just wants to marry Pei Lang as her wife, why is the mother so aggressive?"
She couldn't understand that her mother, who had always loved her so much and responded to her every request, could be so cold today.
"The Marquis has raised you for many years, you might as well raise a pug." Fang Xu sat up straight, his tone and expression were surprisingly calm, and he didn't even frown, "After more than ten years of raising you, even a dog should know how to Thank you, you are blind, your heart and lungs are all black, if you leave the Marquis Mansion, what kind of success will you have?"
I'm afraid I will end up competing with stray dogs for food.
Fang Xu really didn't understand that she had always been charitable and charitable throughout her life, but it was not easy to do business. Even if she used some necessary means in the business world to bring down more than a dozen enemy companies, she still could not be guilty of this! Why did she have to deal with these three white-eyed wolves?
Did she violate any rules of heaven?
"Mother, how can you say this about me? I am your biological daughter..." Xie Shuer's voice choked up as if struck by lightning, and her tears fell like broken beads.
Fang Xu's expression did not change, and he raised his hand lightly. Bai Ji behind him instantly understood, and walked up to Xie Shu'er: "Madam is tired. Miss, please come back."
Fang Xu glanced at Baiji with admiration, feeling satisfied.
It turns out that this maid is quite discerning.
Xie Shuer looked at Fang Xu who had returned behind the screen, gritted her teeth with hatred, glared at Baiji, stood up with the help of the maid, turned around and left.
"Madam, the young lady seems determined..." The maid Su Zi stood beside her, squeezing Fang Xu's shoulders one after another.
"Let her go." Fang Xu closed his eyes to rest and calmly replied.
If there is no accident, she probably won't be able to go back. In this case, it is better to set rules as soon as possible.
He turned out to be a master who was beautiful but had a shrunken cerebellum. He allowed his children to behave like this and even lost their own children. It was a ridiculous life!
Now that she has taken over this mess, and the three patricide brothers and sisters have fallen into her hands, she wants to see what kind of splash they can make.
Fang Xu has been in the business world for many years. Who has he seen who is not a good person?
She didn't believe that she couldn't deal with these three scoundrels who picked up the bowl to eat and then cursed at their mother when they put the bowl down.
"My servant sees that Madam looks tired. She has nothing to do at the moment. Madam, would you like to rest for a while?" Su Zi was serving at the side and asked at the right time.
Fang Xu hummed, closed his eyes and took a nap.
Just as soon as the incense was burning, there was a noise outside the door, which made Fang Xu frown.
Damn it, do you know that disturbing people's dreams is seeking money and killing people?
"Madam! Something happened outside!" The boy rushed into the courtyard in a hurry. He stumbled because he was so anxious that his voice broke.
Bai Ji, who was guarding the door of the house, frowned and cursed in a low voice, "Heartless thing, what are you shouting for? If you disturb the lady's rest, I will have to skin you!"
The boy swallowed his saliva and shook his head like a rattle, wishing that his brains would come out, "Sister Baiji, something really happened outside!"
"What's up?"
It was no longer Bai Ji who responded to him, but Fang Xu.
When the young man saw Fang Xu coming out, his eyes lit up, as if he had seen a savior, "Back to Madam, Miss, she went to the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue alone and asked to cancel the engagement on the street. Many people gathered outside. This matter has spread and cannot be stopped! "
As soon as these words came out, many eyes in the room turned to Fang Xu. The latter's face instantly darkened, and the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point.
"Excellent." Fang Xu smiled instead of being angry, his brows relaxed, and his expression was surprisingly calm, "Bai Ji, Su Zi, prepare the carriage and go to the Shangshu Mansion to see my good daughter."
