After returning to Guanyue Tower from Li Fu's yard, Shangguan Xuerou held Xiao Man's hand and seemed not to regard her as a maid at all. She said affectionately like a sister: "Sister Xiao Man, my sister is simple-minded and temperamental. Be honest. From now on, if I do something wrong or out of line in the palace, I will ask for your help and advice."
"Miss Shangguan, you are very polite. You are the master and I am your servant. Since the young prince asked me to serve you, I will naturally do my best." Xiaoman said politely in a slow and soft voice, and then asked: "About Miss Gu. What do you want Miss Shangguan to do? If you have any requests, just ask and let the slave family arrange it."
Although Xiaoman grew up in the palace compound, he was not a stupid person who stayed away from home and was captured by Shangguan Xuerou's few kind words. Instead, he showed a businesslike and alienated attitude.
Shangguan Xuerou was not upset after being hit with a soft nail. She chuckled and arranged, "It is easiest to deal with a rich lady like Gu Dai'er who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world. Sister Xiaoman, please pick someone smarter first. The maid was sent to Gu Dai'er's yard to take care of her food and daily life. After gaining her trust, it will not only make it easier for us to understand Gu Dai'er's thoughts, but also influence her thoughts. In the future, this maid may need to be punished. She needs to be mentally prepared for the suffering..."
After the Xiao family was released, everything that happened to the Xiao family that day was spread out, making it known throughout the city. It became the favorite topic of conversation among the people of Yandi City after dinner.
Regarding this matter, although a small number of people were secretly scolding Li Fu for being arrogant and his patron, the Prince's Mansion, for acting overbearingly, more people were scolding Henry Zhang instead.
They scolded him for not overestimating his abilities, laughed at him for not being able to see clearly the situation, ridiculed him for hitting an egg with an egg... Among them, the Xiao family members were the ones who scolded him the most! After all, Henry Zhang almost implicated the entire Xiao family because of his personal behavior!
Therefore, on the day the Xiao family was released, the clan elders announced that Xiao Dou and his son would be expelled from the family and erased from the family tree, which caused everyone in the Xiao family to applaud!
You know, this is a world where there are serial crimes, where people are often executed and nine clans are implicated. No one will like someone like Henry Zhang who acts without scruples and does not consider the harm to his clan and family!
Normal people do have sympathy for the weak.
For example, if an adult hits a child, people will scold the adult for bullying the weak; if a strong man hits an old man, people will scold the strong man for bullying.
But what if a person provokes a tiger and is brutally eaten by the tiger? I'm afraid most people will scold that person for being brainless!
In the same way, the patron palace in Yandi City and Dayan is a big tiger that no one dares to mess with!
When no one dares to mess with it, the subjective consciousness in the heart will position it as an untouchable existence.
Everyone is avoiding him, why do you, Henry Zhang, dare to step forward and stroke the tiger’s beard? Isn't this stupid? Isn’t this seeking death? If nothing happens to Henry Zhang in the end, I’m afraid the world will find it incredible!
Naturally, Li Fu didn't know about the rumors outside.
For three days in a row, Li Fu stayed in the palace and was not in a hurry to go out and see this novel world. In addition to practicing every day, I also sort out the memories in my mind.
That afternoon, when Li Fu was lying on a rocking chair in the courtyard, basking in the sun with his eyes closed, his personal maid, Jing Zhe, came in from outside, leaned close to Li Fu and whispered: "Little prince, Master Fan is here. The Ronghua Hall is waiting for you."
The person who came to look for Li Fu did not have to wait in the concierge, but was directly led into the mansion by the servants. He must be Li Fu's former best friend.
After Li Fu thought about it for a moment, he knew who the "Master Fan" mentioned by Jingzhe was.
Fan Yongxian, the son of Zhongwu Marquis Fan Chu, was one of the few true friends among the many scoundrels around Li Fu.
Fan Chu, the loyal and brave lord, was also a military lord who rose from the bottom of the army bit by bit from a small soldier.
In the "Battle of Tuxingpo" fifteen years ago, Fan Chu, who was just an ordinary general at the time, led a small group of soldiers and took Li Fu, who was just born and still in his infancy, to kill Li Fu from the crowd of thousands of soldiers. come out!
When Fan Chu handed the intact Li Fu to Li Kai, all the more than 200 soldiers in the team were dead. Fan Chu himself was also covered with hundreds of wounds, large and small. He held out his last breath.
Fortunately, Li Kai was not a mean and ungrateful person, and he did not hesitate to use an extremely precious elixir to save Fan Chu, whose life was hanging by a thread.
From then on, Fan Chu got a blessing in disguise, not only because the magic pill changed his natural talent, but also because he improved his martial arts skills bravely and diligently, and his career in the officialdom was smooth. In less than ten years, he was promoted to the rank of Zhongyong Marquis, which can be regarded as the ultimate military commander.
As a direct descendant of Li Kai, there was frequent movement between the Zhongyong Hou Mansion and the Patron Prince's Mansion, and coupled with the relationship of life-saving grace, Li Fu was very close to the Fan family.
When he was a child, Li Fu, who disliked the desertedness of the palace, would often go to Fan's house to stay for several days, or let Fan Yong come to live in the palace first, so the two of them were very familiar with each other's houses.
When Li Fu came to the Ronghua Hall, Fan Yong was sitting crookedly on a chair, drinking tea and teasing the maid Han Lu.
Fan Yong first liked Hanlu very much. He mentioned it to Li Fu more than once and wanted to take Hanlu home as his concubine, but Li Fu refused.
In this world, a superior person would give his personal maid as a concubine to his subordinates as a sign of closeness and appreciation. This not only shortens the relationship with the subordinates, but also provides a source of support for the older personal maids. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.
Therefore, Fan Yong's behavior of asking Han Lu to marry him first was not considered an offense.
The reason why Li Fu's predecessor kept refusing was not that he was reluctant to part with Han Lu, but that Han Lu was unwilling to do so.
Fan Yongxian looks like an un-evolved ape-man, with extremely heavy body hair and a beard all over his face. His chest hair can even be vaguely seen through his collar. If it were placed on earth, I would probably not have to worry about playing Sun Wukong, so it’s no wonder Han Lu doesn’t want to follow him.
Although Li Fu was a playboy in the past, he treated the people around him well, so he followed Han Lu's wishes and did not promise her to Fan Yongxian.
However, Fan Yongxian didn't know it, and still refused to give up. Every time he came to the palace, he would specially find cold dew to tease him, claiming to be humorous.
Seeing that Li Fu had finally arrived, Han Lu, who was smiling at Fan Yongxian, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed and called: "Little Prince."
Fan Yong turned around first, then sat upright and said hello: "Little Prince."
"Yes." Li Fu responded, then waved his hand, indicating that Han Lu could leave.
Han Lu said goodbye and left. Fan Yongxian's eyes seemed to be glued to Han Lu's body, moving with Han Lu's figure until he walked out of the room, then he reluctantly took it back.
Li Fu glanced at Fan Yongxian, who was a little disappointed, and felt that he was like a gorilla who failed to court, so he couldn't help but laughed: "Dayong, are you in estrus? With the power of your Zhongwu Marquis Mansion, what? You can't find such a girl, so why do you always miss my Hanlu?"
