Liu Fanyin and Xie Wanzhou's expressions changed slightly, and they secretly observed Fang Xu's expression.
Fang Xu nodded as if nothing happened and said softly, "The rumor has spread that Yongcheng Hou Mansion will choose another legitimate daughter."
Su Zi agreed, turned and left.
"You two, go out. I'm tired too and want to rest for a while." Fang Xu closed the tea cup, lowered his head slightly, and couldn't see his expression clearly.
Liu Fanyin and Xie Wanzhou quickly agreed, saying a few words to ask Fang Duo to take care of themselves, and then turned around and left.
Fang Xu sat there, staring at his nails painted with red cinnamon, thoughtfully.
-
Early the next morning, Fang Xu was woken up by Su Zi, changed his clothes and washed his face, spit out the tea for gargling, and his breakfast was brought in.
There were warm porridge and side dishes in front of him, as well as tea and hot soup. Fang Xu held the spoon and ate the porridge in small bites.
"Madam." Bai Ji walked in, with mud on his skirt and a piece of hay hanging on his head.
Fang Xu was startled by her appearance, put down his spoon, frowned and asked, "Are you...going to blow up the bunker?"
Bai Ji was startled, scratched his head and asked, "Madam, what is a bunker?"
Fang Xu shook his head and laughed, "Tell me where you were, dressed like this, but were you bullied?"
Su Zi looked around, cleared his throat, and said to the other maids and servants, "You guys should step aside first."
"Back to Madam, this slave has not been bullied." Seeing all the irrelevant people in the room retreat, Bai Ji grinned and said happily, "Last night, didn't Madam order my slave to send someone to keep an eye on the Pei family... "
Fang Xu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "So...you went there in person?"
Bai Ji nodded, looking careless, "Yes, I leave this matter to others, I don't worry about it."
Fang Xu and Su Zi looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
"When will you change your fiery temper?" Su Zi glanced at her angrily and whispered.
Bai Ji giggled twice, then thought of something and hurriedly suppressed his smile, "The news released by Su Zi yesterday has spread throughout the capital. Xie Shu'er, who is in the Pei family on the outskirts of the capital, has also learned about it."
"Last night, Xie Shu'er seemed to have lost her temper. From time to time, the sound of smashing things could be heard." Bai Ji stood up straight and lowered his voice, "Madam's confrontation with her in the Shangshu Mansion was witnessed by many people. Now that Xie Shuer has been removed from the Hou Mansion, no one except the Pei family can complain for her."
"Baiji said this, madam, I also have something to tell you." Su Zi heard the words and also spoke, "After the rumors spread, a noble lady from aristocratic family sent a note to the young lady, hoping to invite the young lady to the house to talk about it."
"This matter is for Xie Wanzhou to make her own decision. If she is willing to establish diplomatic relations with those girls from aristocratic families, then that's up to her." Fang Xu took a sip of porridge, "Also, raise her monthly schedule a little, so as not to lose the air of a legitimate daughter. .”
"My slave, go now." Su Zi did things very neatly. He immediately moved when he heard the words. Then he stopped as if he thought of something and looked at Fang Xu cautiously.
Fang Xu was surprised, raised his eyebrows and said, "Just say what you want to say, no need to hide it."
Su Zi seemed to be unable to speak, and whispered, "Madam, when Princess Zhan heard about Xie Shuer's deposedness, she ordered someone to make a concession and wanted to meet you."
War princess?
When Fang Xu heard this, his hand holding the spoon paused, a trace of suspicion appeared in his eyes, and he quickly searched for the original memory.
"Princess Zhan...is my biological sister?" Fang Xu raised his eyelids and looked steadily at Su Zi.
Su Zi was startled, nodded subconsciously, and then said in surprise, "Madam, are you... willing to call Princess Zhan sister?"
Fang Xu remained silent and quietly stirred the porridge in front of him.
In the original memory, her father was hesitating between her and her sister Fang Lan, not knowing who to choose to marry the famous war king in the capital.
At that time, the War King was a young and talented man with outstanding military exploits. He could be said to be the dream lover of all the women in the capital. Everyone disliked the War King, and the original person was no exception. When he heard that the War King took the initiative to propose to marry the daughter of the Fang family, the original person Naturally overjoyed.
After much deliberation, the father decided to draw lots to determine the fate of his two daughters. Seeing this, his bad intentions suddenly emerged. When others were unprepared, he found the right opportunity to secretly change the note, and changed the original note with a hint of a hint. The note was replaced by two Xu.
But she didn't know that the King of War personally asked to marry the Fang family's daughter, not because of the power of the Fang family, but because he liked Fang Lan, the eldest daughter of the Fang family, and the two had already made a private decision for life.
King Zhan, who thought that the Fang family would choose their eldest daughter, did not write about the person he loved in the marriage letter. He came to the house and confessed that his dream of being a princess was shattered. Since then, he has hated the couple and has never interacted with them again.
Fang Xu came back to his senses and snorted lightly.
They are all sick, really.
"If she wants to come, then come." Fang Xu leaned back in the chair, with no trace of happiness, anger or sorrow on his face.
Su Zi and Bai Ji looked at each other, responded, turned around and went out.
After I returned the note, within half an hour, a carriage stopped at the door of Yongchenghou Mansion.
Fang Xu stood at the door, with two maids standing behind him. His eyes fell on the carriage in front of him, his expression unchanged.
A little girl with a round face jumped out of the carriage. When she saw Fang Xu, her eyes widened for a moment, then she knelt down and blessed her body, and said in a loud voice, "I have seen Mrs. Yongcheng Hou."
Upon hearing these words, a slight sound came from the carriage.
"Get up." Fang Xu didn't look at her, just stared at the car curtain.
The little round-faced man responded, stood up straight and faced the direction of the carriage, "Princess, it's time to get off the carriage."
As soon as the words fell, a small and white hand fell on the maid's palm.
The car curtain was raised, and the woman walked out of the car. She was dressed in low-key and elegant clothes. Her hair was neatly tied behind her head, and she had a hairpin on her bun. Perhaps the life in Prince Zhan's palace was good, and Fang Lan was not as the original owner remembered. Although he was so thin, he was round and round, and looked very friendly.
Seeing Fang Xu, Fang Lan tightened her hands and seemed very nervous. She twitched the corners of her mouth and called softly, "Xiao...Xiao Xu."
Fang Xu curled his lips and walked down the steps.
She is not her original self, she has no intention of enmity with Fang Lan, and she would be a fool not to hug Princess Zhan's thighs.
Fang Xu stood in front of her and said with a smile, "Sister."
The sound of sister made Fang Lan stunned for a long time. When he came back to his senses, his eyes were already moist, "Xiao Xu! You...are you willing..."
Fang Xu looked at her with a smile and nodded lightly, "I have been close to my sister since I was a child. We were separated from her for a long time because of trivial things. Now that I am sober, I hope that my sister will not be as knowledgeable as my little sister."
Fang Lan shook his head, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, lowered his head and said, "I have never blamed you for anything. After so many years, you are finally willing to see me. Naturally, I am happy in my heart."
Fang Xu had a smile on his lips, took two steps forward, held her arm, and said with a smile, "Sister is feeling depressed, so I feel relieved. You and I haven't been together for so many years, so we need to have a good chat today."
Fang Lan looked at Fang Xu with bright eyes, raised his hand and patted her hand, his eyes turning red again, "Indeed, I have a lot to ask you."
"Let's talk after we enter the house." Fang Xu hugged her and walked forward, squeezing her chubby hand.
Fang Lan was so flattered by this sudden intimacy that her body was so stiff that she didn't dare to move.
