"Mother... I'll accompany you." Xie Wanzhou also stood up, his eyes full of worry.
Fang Xu nodded in agreement and said softly, "Let's go."
Xie Wanzhou thought about it again and again, but slowly raised her hand and carefully supported Fang Xu's arm, as if she was afraid that Fang Xu would be displeased by the intimate gesture. His eyes were full of timidity and his fingertips were trembling.
After all, Madam had truly hated her.
Fortunately, Fang Xu noticed her sensitive emotions, patted the little girl's hand gently, and whispered, "Don't worry too much."
Xie Wanzhou hummed, as loud as a mosquito. After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke, "Mother, the Crown Princess... is a very good person. She must have encountered something that broke her down if she cruelly committed suicide today." .”
"Don't worry, if it's straightened out, I'll naturally make the decision for her." Fang Xu looked intently, having a rough idea of what was going to happen next.
Xie Wanzhou bit her lower lip and whispered, "My daughter once heard that there was a rumor in the pine garden that there was only an aunt in the garden and no concubine..."
Fang Xu's eyes darkened and his smile was cold, "Today my mother will teach you a truth, life is like a nine-link chain, one link after another. Don't look at the bright and beautiful things on the bright side, but look at the things accumulated in the dark. Those who betray their sincerity will definitely suffer the pain of swallowing needles."
Xie Wanzhou lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
The pine garden was lush and green, with the faint fragrance of flowers. It was originally a refreshing scene, but a burst of noise ruined the mood.
There were more than a dozen people kneeling in the courtyard. Only one woman had her back straight and looked out of place. The girl was well-born, with cherry lips and willow waist. She was a pretty girl, but she had her hair tied up in a hook-style bun and a brocade dress, which made her look like a pretty girl. A nouveau riche, he suddenly lost his temperament.
Directly opposite, sat a woman in plain clothes, with a gentle appearance. Although not as beautiful as the former, she was better than the former in temperament. Even though her face was pale now, she had not lost any of her rules and her sitting posture was still dignified.
"Sister, I'm not talking about you as a younger sister, and I don't seek a place where no one is around to commit suicide. If I die in the pine garden, it will be really hard to tell the prince from his sister!" Aunt Hua Qing stirred her handkerchief, her delicately made-up face Unable to hide my impatience.
Fang Xu stood still at the door, made a silent gesture to the boy who wanted to report, and stood at the door to watch the show.
The live version of house fighting is a waste of time if you don’t watch it!
Xie Wanzhou didn't know why and didn't dare to ask out loud, so he had to stand silently with his mother.
The woman sitting on the chair didn't say anything, but the nanny beside her couldn't stand listening any more, and said angrily, "Aunt Hua, our Crown Princess has a gentle temper, but you can't bully her at will! If it weren't for Hua My aunt has provoked her again and again, and the imperial concubine happened to be guarding the young lady, how could she suddenly commit suicide?"
"Hey, why are you pouring dirty water on me?" Hua Qing raised her red lips and said in a flamboyant manner, "Sister, I have no children now. Did I say something wrong? Childlessness means incompetence. Since she is incompetent, she still dominates the concubine. I refuse to give up my position, am I wrong? She is obviously a merchant's daughter and has no wealth, but she just relied on the old relationship between her father's family and the Marquis to get a real wife, am I wrong?"
"Everything, I'm not talking nonsense." Hua Qing looked a little more arrogant, raising her chin higher, "Since it's the truth, why should you blame me?"
"You!" The grandma's face turned red with anger, and the hand she pointed at Hua Qing trembled. "You are just a concubine. If you scream in front of the Crown Princess like this, if it reaches the ears of the lady, you... "
"So what, madam?" Hua Qing hummed and laughed twice, not afraid at all, "Sooner or later, this prince's mansion belongs to the prince, and the prince belongs to me."
There was a sneer from outside the hospital, Hua Qing's face froze, his eyes widened and he turned around, "Who is laughing? Are you looking for death?"
Turning his head, he met Fang Xu's smiling eyes.
"Mother." The woman sitting far away stood up and bowed politely. Her voice was hoarse and she could not hide her tiredness.
"Husband... Madam..." Hua Qing's legs softened and he knelt down on the ground. His originally rosy face instantly lost all color.
"I can't afford to be called Madam like you." Fang Xu walked very slowly, the corners of his skirt swayed slightly, and his watery eyes were calm, "I didn't know that the owner of the Hou Mansion was about to change his surname to Hua, so... It’s such a big deal, why didn’t anyone notify me, the former owner?”
Hua Qing froze, a chill rising on his back, and apologized hastily, "Madam, I didn't mean that, I..."
"Concubine? It turns out that you still know your identity." Fang Xu looked at her with a smile. Although his tone was calm, it was not difficult to hear the coldness.
"Liu Fanyin, are you usually such a good-tempered person?" Fang Xu's eyes slid into the distance and landed on the woman, with a faint smile on his lips, "As a master, you actually let a concubine crawl on your head. You should take it for granted." It really impressed me.”
Liu Fanyin, who maintained the saluting posture, turned paler, and his half-crouched body was teetering.
"Get up."
She heard her mother's voice in the distance, and she dared to straighten up, still with her lowered eyebrows and submissive look.
I'm a coward, I really can't hold myself up to the wall!
At this point, you have to rely on yourself.
Fang Xu cursed in his heart, his eyes fell back on Hua Qing, and he was thinking vaguely.
"As a concubine, you have done the same thing as your superiors, relying on the prince's favor to run rampant in the house and even treat me as nothing..."
"No, madam, please listen to my explanation!"
Before Fang Xu finished speaking, Hua Qing interrupted, saying something eloquently that he didn't mean to offend, it was just a quick comment.
Fang Xu's eyes suddenly turned cold, he lightly raised his eyelids and looked at Bai Ji aside.
Bai Ji had an epiphany in an instant, stepped forward quickly, grabbed Hua Qing's collar, raised his hand and slapped her across the face. Seeing that Hua Qing was stunned, he explained with a cold face, "Madam, you, a concubine, have no right to interrupt what I'm talking about! "
Fang Xu sat on the wooden chair, calm and relaxed, glancing at Liu Fanyin not far away from the corner of his eye, observing her expression.
Liu Fanyin didn't notice Fang Xu's gaze at all, and just stared at Hua Qing's instantly red and swollen face, as if she was frightened, and her expression froze on her face.
Fang Xu shook his head and sighed softly.
This is a long road to reform, and we have a long way to go.
"Mother...Qing'er!" Xie Changqing, who had just stepped into the pine garden, saw Fang Xu. He wanted to salute, but when he saw Hua Qing lying on the ground, his pupils widened, he rushed over quickly, completely He left his mother behind.
Fang Xu rolled his eyes in his heart and took it into consideration.
I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this white-eyed wolf.
Xie Changqing helped Hua Qing up, his expression was extremely ugly, he pointed at Bai Ji and shouted angrily, "Who are you, a slave girl, to dare to attack the master's family? I have to sell you today!"
"Bai Ji is mine. You can't touch her." Fang Xu sat upright, with a cold face and a calm look on his face. His dark eyes were fixed on Xie Changqing, "I asked her to beat this bitch." Maid, do you have any objections?"
"Mother!" Xie Changqing was shaking with anger and gritted her teeth, "Qing'er is not a cheap maid, she is the aunt chosen by her son!"
"What a personally chosen aunt." Fang Xu's tone was calm, but there was a dignity that could not be ignored. "She is an aunt, not your biological mother. You are yelling at me here, and you have no sense of being a son of man." conscious."
Xie Changqing clenched his fists and his eyes were red, "What about mother? I'm not worthy to be your son, are you worthy to be our mother?"
Xie Changqing raised his hand, pointed at Xie Wanzhou who was standing aside, and raised his voice and asked, "Are you not wrong if my mother drove away Shu'er and instead made this scoundrel her legitimate daughter?"
Fang Xu rubbed his fingertips, raised his eyes to look at Baiji, and whispered, "Baiji, fight."
