It was still early, so Fang Xu finished dressing up and got into the carriage early.
She had a heavy task today. She had to accompany Fang Lan to the ancestral hall to select her stepson, so she couldn't be careless.
Bai Ji yawned and almost had a mental breakdown, "Madam, the chickens haven't woken up yet, why do we have to get up so early?"
Su Zi slapped her on the back of the head and frowned, "There are no rules. Madam naturally has her own rules for doing things."
It was so painful that I didn't dare to speak anymore.
Fang Xu was no better than Bai Ji, with sleepy eyes filled with tears, "She's not Sun Taifei yet! She's used to tormenting people. She has to go see those clan members, even if she gets up a little late!"
"Madam, please keep your voice down when you speak ill of others." Su Zi put his index finger to his mouth, quietly lifted the car curtain, and looked outside. When he saw no one around, he said with a distressed look, "These days It's been a rough day, I think it will still be some time before we get to Prince Zhan's Mansion, my lady, please take a nap first."
Fang Xu nodded and took Su Zi's advice without hesitation, leaning against the car wall and closing his eyes to take a nap.
Approaching Prince Zhan's mansion, Fang Xuqiang cheered up. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Fang Lan standing outside the mansion.
"Sister?" Fang Xu was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "Why aren't you waiting at the house?"
Fang Lan didn't say anything, just patted her hand.
Fang Xu had a rough guess in his mind. He glanced at the small round face behind Fang Lan and saw that she had an indignant look on her face. He immediately understood and asked in a low voice, "The old lady bullied you again, didn't she?"
Fang Lan shook his head, with a calm look on his face, "Don't say anything anymore, I'm afraid it will come out later."
Fang Xu closed his eyes and suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Isn't this Yongchenghou's family?"
There was movement behind her. Concubine Sun was wearing a gauze scarf to cover the horrific scars on her face. There were still many people following behind her, in full formation.
Concubine Sun walked up slowly, with her veil in front of her, so her expression could not be seen clearly, "I got up quite early."
How could Fang Xu not understand the overt sarcasm in these words?
Coincidentally, the thing she is least good at is suffering from boredom.
"The old concubine is old enough to get up, so how can I hold you back?" Fang Xu smiled, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.
"You!" Taifei Sun pointed at herself and asked with a frown, "You called me old?"
"Why are you scolding you? My wife is praising you!" Fang Xu looked at her with a smile, his dark eyes bright and clear, "I am praising you for being strong and your sword never grows old..."
"Presumptuous!" Concubine Sun pointed at Fang Xu, her eyes red with anger, and the beads on her head shook wildly, "You are so disrespectful! How unreasonable!"
"Old concubine, don't be angry." Fang Xu's tone was calm and his expression was calm, "It's not good for you if you're angry. If it delays my sister's choice of a son, wouldn't it be the old concubine's fault?"
Concubine Sun was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes and got into the carriage surrounded by a group of people.
"You, you!" Fang Lan poked Fang Xu's forehead, his tone was coquettish, but there was a smile on his face, "You are so old, but you still have such a bad temper."
"I said that I will not let my sister be wronged." Fang Xu raised the corners of his lips, without any fear on his face.
Fang Lan felt warm in her heart and took Fang Xu into the carriage prepared by Prince Zhan's Mansion.
Three carriages were running side by side, heading towards the ancestral hall at a constant speed.
The door of the ancestral hall opened, and several servants were walking around inside. The carriage stopped, and a woman came up.
The mother-in-law is on the fatter side, and most of her eyes are missing when she smiles. "I have seen a few nobles, and the servants are cleaning. The clan members have all been picked up and arranged to wait in the side room."
"When I arrive at the ancestral hall and meet my ancestors, I have to pay homage." Fang Lan sat side by side with her sister and whispered, "Just walk around and wait until I finish paying homage to you." you."
"Okay, sister, I'm busy with my own business." Fang Xu agreed with a smile and a dignified manner, "I'll just stay where I am."
She had no time to wander around other people's ancestral halls.
The Fang sisters got off the carriage, and when Taifei Sun saw the two of them, she snorted and walked forward.
Fang Lan was not annoyed, gave his sister a calm look, and then followed her.
There was no one around him, and Fang Xu looked around boredly, with a bleak look on his face.
"Is this the royal ancestral hall?" Bai Ji lowered his voice, but her excitement could still be heard.
"No." Su Zi stood beside her, whispering to her, "When Princess Sun was still a concubine, she was not favored and was not qualified to enter the royal ancestral hall. This is the ancestral hall of Princess Sun's mother's family."
Bai Ji's eyes widened, and he no longer had the same excitement as before. He whispered, "Then Mrs. Sun wants to..."
Fang Xu's eyes darkened, he turned his head and scolded, "Shut up, stop it right now!"
Bai Ji spoke for a moment and closed his mouth angrily.
Fang Xu rubbed his chin and stared at a place in a daze, his eyes dark and unclear.
She naturally knew exactly what Concubine Sun had planned.
I want to use my bloodline to consolidate her status and dream about her spring and autumn daydreams!
"Broom star, get out of here!"
"It's really disappointing to see him so early in the morning."
"Today the princess is choosing a son, is it possible that this evil star also wants to join in the fun?"
Children's laughter could be heard in the side room on one side, and there was even the sound of breaking things.
Fang Xu raised his eyebrows, as if he had discovered something interesting, and said softly, "Let's go and take a look."
The window of the side room was not closed, so the master and servant walked quietly to the window and looked inside quietly.
There were seven or eight teenagers standing in the room, gathered together, laughing and punching and kicking the ground.
Fang Xu frowned and looked intently, only to find that it was a boy curled up on the ground.
The boy was wearing ill-fitting gray clothes, and his exposed calves were covered in bruises. Even though he was being beaten, he did not say a word, but raised his arms to protect his head to prevent him from being beaten stupidly.
He looked like he was used to being beaten, which was very pitiful.
In the chaos, Fang Xu could not clearly see the boy's appearance, but he was not interested in looking at it. He lowered his eyelids, looked at the dusty window frame, and squinted his eyes.
"Madam." Bai Ji tugged on Fang Xu's clothes and whispered with an indignant look, "Do you need a slave..."
Bai Ji didn't finish his words, but quietly made a fist in front of Fang Xu.
Fang Xu shook his head, took two steps back, and whispered, "Let's go."
The two maids were stunned. It was obvious that in their hearts, their wife was definitely not a master who would not save her until death.
"Madam." Su Zi took two steps quickly to follow Fang Xu, "Why don't we save the child?"
"Save what?" Fang Xu glanced at her,
The two maids were stunned for a moment, both of them had their mouths wide open.
"But madam..." Bai Ji seemed to be unable to bear it and whispered, "This is too tragic."
Fang Xu snorted coldly, his expression as usual, "He brought this misfortune upon himself."
