Grandma Yuan's eyes were slightly red, and she didn't know what to say.
Fang Xu raised his bare hand, took the teacup from the table, picked up the teapot and made a cup of warm tea. He stood up and handed it to Granny Yuan, saying softly, "Mom, please drink tea."
"Xiao Xu..." Granny Yuan's expression moved slightly, a glint of light flashed in her eyes, she reached out to take the tea cup and took a sip of ginseng tea.
A tear fell into the tea, and Granny Yuan wiped the corners of her eyes randomly, fearing that Fang Xu would see her weakness.
Fang Xu sat back on the wooden chair with a natural expression and said openly, "The pine garden is still empty now. You can move there tomorrow."
Grandma Yuan paused and murmured, "Can't mother live with you?"
Fang Xucanran smiled and said softly, "How can the ancestors of the family live in a side house? At least it should be the main house in the same courtyard. Songyuan used to be the residence of Fanyin. It is very close to Chengyuan. I have taken a fancy to a little girl. , let her serve her mother tomorrow."
"That's OK." Granny Yuan nodded with a kind smile, "Just let the eldest daughter-in-law follow me there. I teach her more on weekdays. After all, she is also the eldest young lady of the Marquis. It's not a good idea to always squeeze in the Jingyuan with Wanzhou girl. thing."
"It's all up to you." Fang Xu agreed with a smile, then thought about it, "But today, why didn't I see Wanzhou?"
"Hey, Wanzhou girl goes to study every day, which is very taxing on her brain. I asked Su Zi to buy some soothing incense for her so that she can sleep early in the morning." Granny Yuan curled her lips and explained patiently. .
"Madam, I don't know. During the time you left the house, the old lady got along very well with the young masters!" Bai Ji grinned and said loudly, "The young lady and the young ladies come to Chengyuan every day to say hello. Woolen cloth."
Fang Xu felt more at ease and raised the corners of his mouth. He suddenly thought of something and softened his voice, "Mother, my daughter has something to ask for."
Grandma Yuan paused for a moment, then glared at her with a rather complaining look, and said angrily, "You call me mother, why do you have to be so disrespectful? If you have a problem, just say so!"
Fang Xu smiled helplessly and said softly, "In that case, my daughter will tell you straight away that the new fortune teller in the palace is not a disciple of Taoist Master Xuanzhen, but a charlatan whom Cui Shangshu found from nowhere."
"The mother-in-law whom my daughter brought home today is the one who learned from Xuanzhen. She begged for her daughter and wanted to come to the capital to expose the liar and keep her master's reputation."
"That's it." Granny Yuan mumbled and said seriously, "What do you want mother to do?"
Fang Xu lowered her long eyelashes and lowered her voice, "Mother has returned to Dayan, and the documents must have been sent to the palace. My daughter wants her mother to come back to the palace to have a look, and she just introduced Granny Miaoxuan to the Queen."
"I thought it was something difficult!" Granny Yuan's brows relaxed and she said nonchalantly, "Such a simple thing is all on my shoulders."
"Thank you, mother." Fang Xu curled his lips, and his smile was a little more meaningful.
At night, a light rain came suddenly, hitting the window in a steady patter.
The candles in several courtyards of the Houfu were extinguished, leaving only a few courtyard lights.
It rained all night, and in the morning it cleared up. There were a few drops of water on the treetops, and the ground was wet.
Fang Xu had already ordered someone to deliver the letter, and within half an hour, the palace documents were delivered to the Hou Mansion.
Granny Yuan got into the carriage with the help of Danyun, and Miao Xuan followed her, wearing a curtain hat on her head to cover herself tightly.
After Granny Yuan sat firmly, she opened the curtain on the car window, stared at Fang Xu and said, "Hey, it's cold outside, go back quickly."
Fang Xu nodded and whispered, "Mom, be careful."
Grandma Yuan waved her hands and smiled lovingly, "Your mother is not a vegetarian either. Given our status, who dares to bully me?"
Fang Xu couldn't help laughing, but just to be on the safe side, he asked in a low voice, "Mom, do you really don't need Su Zi to follow you?"
After all, Danyun has never been in the palace. It would be bad if she was too nervous and made mistakes in her hurry.
"You don't have to worry about this." Grandma Yuan shook her head slowly, with an easy-going look on her face, "Su Zi is not able to cover everything on the first day. Everyone needs to grow up, give Danyun a chance."
"With me in charge, no one can make things difficult for her."
Noble status means arrogance!
Fang Xu was speechless and could only nod helplessly and watch the carriage go away.
"Madam, do we have any other arrangements today?" Su Zi followed her and asked in a low voice.
Fang Xu hummed, a trace of gloom flashed across his face, "Go and check on Duke Qi. The more detailed the investigation, the better."
When Su Zi heard this, he immediately understood what the lady meant, "Yes, I know this."
"Madam, Princess Duanyang's matter has been settled." Bai Ji came close to her and lowered his voice, "Committing obscene things in public is unethical and incompetent. The emperor regarded her as a shame and ordered her to be demoted to a commoner."
Fang Xu raised his eyebrows and walked toward the mansion, "Is it that simple?"
"Of course not. The common people want to seek justice for Mr. Lu and propose that Princess Duanyang be immersed alive in a pig cage. The emperor did not respond before and only said that her identity was abolished. However, when the princess's mansion was sealed, something else was discovered... "
After saying this, Fang Xu became interested, looked sideways at Bai Ji, and said quietly, "What did you find?"
Bai Ji swallowed his saliva and his voice became softer, "There is an underground tunnel in Princess Duanyang's Mansion, which was discovered by Jing Zhaoyin. The evidence of the conspiracy and the correspondence with various forces were all searched out. There were also... "
It seemed that it was too difficult to say, Bai Ji's face turned red with embarrassment, "We also found a lot of items that can be used in sexual intercourse between men and women."
"Second Young Master said that the Emperor was so angry that he smashed a priceless Pihan Rhinoceros on the spot and ordered a thorough investigation of everyone mentioned in the letter. The three clans were punished. The prisons in the capital were so full that they could no longer accommodate them!"
"Princess Duanyang has not only become a commoner, but also has her hands and feet tied alive and dipped in a pig cage!"
Surprise flashed across Fang Xu's face, and then he sneered, his eyes gleaming, "When will the execution be carried out?"
"Two days later, by the Qingyun Lake."
Fang Xu nodded with a calm expression, "I understand. Go and inform Su Zi and ask her to allocate half of the people on hand to check on Qi Chong's wife, Zhu Yan."
"Check his wife?" Bai Ji was a little confused, blinked and asked in a low voice.
Fang Xu nodded and said quietly, "If you find out that Qi Chong has done anything disgusting, let Su Zi go to the Zhu family."
There was some hesitation on Bai Ji's face, and he whispered, "Madam, Duke Qi's wife is an honest person and has no power to tie a chicken. What can we expect from her?"
Fang Xu shook his head, with a faint smile on his lips, and said softly, "Rabbits will bite when they are anxious. Don't underestimate every woman who is forced to a desperate end."
"As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Bai Ji calmed down and nodded in agreement, "Yes, I understand."
Fang Xu's lips curled up slightly, his eyes fell on the dead trees in the courtyard, but he smiled without saying a word.
Since she took the initiative to provoke him, it was up to her to decide when the story would end. (End of chapter)
