Yongcheng Houfu
Chengyuan
The summer heat is so hot that the flowers planted outside are wilting.
Fang Xu was sitting in the hall, with the newly brought cold melons in front of him and an ice basin at his feet. The wind passing through the hall blew away some of the heat.
Fang Xu raised his bare hand, inserted a piece of melon flesh with a bamboo skewer, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.
"This weather is really hot!" Fang Xu looked helpless, looking like he was not interested in anything he did.
You need air conditioning but not air conditioning, you need fan but not fan, and you have to wear three layers inside and three layers outside!
"Madam, please be patient, Su Zi is going to make you something delicious to eat." Bai Ji waved his fan at the side, smiling softly and comforting her softly.
Fang Xu waved his hand, "It's too hot today, so don't be busy. Sit down and rest for a while."
Bai Ji shook his head and said with a smile, "How can any slave sit with the master?"
Fang Xu sighed softly and cursed secretly that there were too many rules in this place, "That's all, then you should go back and have a rest. Don't get a heat stroke."
"My slave is not tired yet." Bai Ji continued to shake his fan and said softly, "Madam, don't worry about this slave. If you are tired, I will go down by myself."
Fang Xu nodded, leaned back, breathed lightly, closed his eyelids, and prepared to calm down and cool down naturally.
"Madam, there is someone outside asking to see you, saying..." The boy walked into the hall with a hesitant look on his face.
The weather was hot, and Fang Xu, who was already upset, frowned slightly when he saw that the young man was silent.
Seeing this, Bai Ji immediately scolded, "You brat, you're only half-sentence. Do you want me to pull your tongue before you can say the other half?"
"No...no!" The boy shook his head repeatedly and whispered, "I don't know whether I should say anything, so I'm speechless."
"Who is here?" Fang Xu held his head, without moving his eyelids.
"He... claimed to be your father-in-law, and said he was from the Pei family." The boy knelt on the ground, his voice trembling.
"Father-in-law?" Fang Xu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Bai Ji beside him. After seeing the same shock in the latter's eyes, he waved his hand and said, "Bring him here."
"Yes." The boy retreated, leaving only the two of them.
"Madam, this..."
Before Fang Xu could ask questions, Bai Ji spoke first.
The little girl looked shocked and her eyes were full of suspicion, "Didn't you say that Pei Heng's father beat someone to death? How could he be released!"
Fang Xu rubbed his fingertips with an indifferent expression, "I guess it was the Pei family who stuffed the money and fished the person out."
"But how can the Pei family have money..."
As soon as he said this, Bai Ji immediately regretted it and secretly cursed himself for being brainless.
The Pei family has no money, but Xie Shuer has it!
Fang Xu sat quietly without much expression on his face.
After a while, the boy led Pei Guangzhi in.
Pei Guangzhi's eyes lit up when he saw Fang Xu.
It is said that wealth can nourish a person, and this is so true!
The demeanor and appearance of the hostess of the Hou Mansion are a bit more mature than Xie Shuer at home!
Pei Guangzhi swallowed and thought to himself, "Mom, this is the first time we meet. I am Pei Heng's father, Pei Guangzhi."
Fang Xu was only sitting in the seat, with a calm demeanor and a slight smile on his lips, without saying a word.
Bai Ji couldn't help but shudder when he looked at his wife's appearance.
Madam is like this... I'm afraid she's going to be a monster again!
Seeing that Fang Xu ignored him, Pei Guangzhi showed some rare patience and sat down carelessly on the wooden chair beside him, making the boy turn pale with fright.
Fang Xu raised his chin towards the boy, "You go down first."
"Yes." The young man hurriedly bowed and left as if he was being pardoned.
Pei Guangzhi crossed his legs, thinking that Fang Xu was hiding from everyone just to save face.
Seeing that there were no other people in the hall, Fang Xu lowered his eyes and looked at Pei Guangzhi, with a flash of interest in his eyes, "Pei family members?"
Pei Guangzhi waved his hand, "What's the Pei family? Let's talk about it, aren't we all one family?"
Fang Xu smiled lightly, stared at him for a while, and then said quietly, "You must have been out of prison for a long time, and the news is not widely accepted. I remember that I removed Xie Shu'er from the family tree."
Pei Guangzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, "We are a family after all. The bones are broken but the tendons are still connected. How can we deny it even if we don't recognize it?"
"Besides, our Xiao Heng is also a talented person. When the two of them have a child, Pei Heng also suffers."
Fang Xu was stunned, his eyes turned cold.
Bai Ji on the side was also dumbfounded, with surprise written all over his face.
This was the first time she heard that a man would suffer in this kind of thing!
"Just tell me what your purpose is for coming here today." Fang Xu twisted the bamboo stick and looked at him with a cold tone.
Pei Guangzhi grinned, and the flesh on his face trembled, "I don't have any intention, I just want to become your in-laws."
"What if I don't want to?" Fang Xu raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
"Don't want to?" Pei Guangzhi was stunned, and then a stern smile appeared on his face, "Then it's not up to you!"
"Presumptuous!" Bai Ji blushed angrily and took two steps forward to protect Fang Xu. "Who do you think you are? You are so bold to speak to our wife like this!"
"Say one more thing!" Pei Guangzhi slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Bai Ji, with an angry look on his face, and the veins on his neck throbbing, "You bitch, do you have a say in this?"
Bai Ji laughed angrily and put his fingers together, "You're rude to Madam. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't be able to learn the rules!"
After that, he was about to attack Pei Guangzhi.
"Baiji." Fang Xu raised his hand to stop her and scolded in a low voice, "Don't be rude."
"Madam!" Bai Ji was startled for a moment, looking at Fang Xu with big eyes without blinking.
Fang Xu had a strange look in his eyes and glanced at Bai Ji.
Bai Ji understood, and became angry like a puffer fish, and slowly walked back behind Fang Xu.
Seeing Fang Xu speak, Pei Guangzhi's face was filled with pride, but he was still angry in his heart. He pointed at Bai Ji and said, "You bitch, you will fall into my hands in the future. I want you to look good!"
Fang Xu's eyes darkened, he smiled half-heartedly, and changed the subject, "My father-in-law has been in prison for the past few years and has not been very happy, right?"
Hearing the words "father-in-law", Pei Guangzhi's face became visibly better. When he heard the second half of the sentence, his expression turned gloomy again, "Why do you ask this?"
"Of course..." Fang Xu held his chin and smiled sweetly, "I vented my anger on my father-in-law's behalf."
"Express your anger?" Pei Guangzhi's eyes lit up and suddenly became sharp, "How do you vent your anger?"
Fang Xu's beautiful eyes slightly opened and her lips parted slightly, "The soldiers guarding the prison are all a bit snobbish. If you don't have money in your hands, you will become their plaything. Am I right to say this?"
Pei Guangzhi's face turned cold and he didn't respond.
Fang Xu smiled brightly and his eyes were soft, "My father-in-law has just come out. Isn't the most urgent thing not the engagement of the two children but revenge?"
"After all the humiliation, how can you not feel resentful?" Fang Xu smiled lightly and said in a seductive tone, "How about we finish taking care of this matter and calmly deal with the two children?"
