Fang Zilan had heard the name Fang Chongbai, and as far as she knew, this person was Fang Chongzheng's younger brother.
Rumor has it that this man had a vicious mind and many evil ways. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a vicious dog raised by the Ji family in the previous dynasty. Therefore, as early as the previous dynasty, his name was removed from the family tree by the Fang family, and he was no longer allowed to enter the lintel of the Fang family.
But even so, Fang Chongbai is still a member of the Fang family in the hearts of the world. It was not until shortly after the establishment of the Dajing Dynasty that Fang Chongzheng killed Fang Chongbai that the world drew a clear line between Fang Chongbai and the Fang family...
Speaking of which, Fang Chongbai died at the hands of Fang Chongzheng. Did Fang Chongzheng adopt her?
She didn't speak, and Mo Bin continued talking on his own, "As for the third question, everything that happened in Beijing later came from the mouth of the former Empress Shu. When the Li family captured the capital, Empress Shu It happened that she was found to be pregnant. After learning about this, people from the previous dynasty stepped forward to protect her. At that time, the world was not at peace, and the neighbors were watching eagerly. The Li family did not dare to easily kill Concubine Shu and the prince in her belly, which attracted the attention of her predecessors. They had to wait until Concubine Shu gave birth to His Highness Prince Ning, and then Fang Chongzheng came forward and personally broke one of His Highness Prince Ning's legs, in order to avoid the restoration of the old people..."
"His Royal Highness Prince Ning?" Fang Zilan interrupted him suddenly, "Prince Yuning, Ji Ningtian?"
"Yes." Mo Bin explained, "According to the old practice of the previous dynasty, it was originally His Highness Prince Ning. However, since the birth of the princes of the Li family in Dajing, in order not to attract attention, it was changed to Prince Yuning, which sounds similar to the original name. It’s no different than courting all the princes.”
Fang Zilan's emotions fluctuated in her chest, and she asked again after a long time: "Can the words of the former Concubine Shu be trusted?"
"You kid, why are you so suspicious?" Mrs. Hu frowned helplessly, looking tired.
"It concerns my parents. As a child, I must get to the bottom of it." Fang Zilan nodded slightly and said firmly: "I hope General Mo and his wife will forgive me."
Mo Bin sighed and said: "It seems that if I don't make it clear, you won't let it go. Anyway, after so many years, it's time to make it clear to the daughter of an old friend."
"Thank you." Fang Zilan saluted solemnly, and Mo Bin said in a deep voice, "I wonder if Miss Lan knows the gate of ghosts?"
Hearing this, Fang Zilan's heart skipped a beat, and Awan, who was sitting next to him, suddenly turned a little pale.
However, before Fang Zilan could answer, Mo Bin shook his head indifferently, as if he didn't notice anything strange between them at all, and asked himself: "How could you know about such a secretive organization?"
Fang Zilan didn't respond, and remained motionless in the saluting posture.
As if he was afraid that the walls had ears, Mo Bin's voice was much softer, "Guimen was originally a secret guard of the former royal family. After the fall of the previous dynasty, it was used by Empress Shu. The first thing that Concubine Shu did after she recovered from giving birth was to find available services. She sent people from the ghost sect to collect information about Princess Pingnan and Miss Qin Xuan. After she found out that Miss Qin Xuan had been humiliated by Fang Chongbai, she spared no effort to They sent people from the ghost sect to find the whereabouts of Miss Qin Xuan, and even issued a death order to take Fang Chongbai's life..."
"Fang Chongbai, wasn't Fang Chongzheng the one who killed him?" Fang Zilan slowly raised his head with a stern look on his face. She called Fang Chong by his first and last name in a cold voice, which made everyone present shudder.
"That's just a rumor in the market..." Mo Bin retorted subconsciously, but suddenly fell silent the moment he met her eyes.
Are all what Concubine Shu said about the deeds of the underworld true? Although Fang Zilan doubted it in her heart, she did not say this on her face.
Seeing her solemn expression, Mo Bin broke the deadlock with a cough and continued, "No matter what, Fang Chongbai died unexpectedly in the end. After his death, Concubine Shu searched for a long time and finally found Miss Qin Xuan's body. Return it to the Qin family in Gusu."
Mo Bin looked sad, "Miss Qin Xuan's matter is nothing more than a family scandal to the people in the Fang family, so they are silent about it, as if nothing happened. But I didn't expect that they could even hide it from you. It’s so watertight that I didn’t even tell you your mother’s name. No wonder no one knew until now that Miss Qin Xuan and a daughter like you were left in the Fang family.”
After he finished speaking, Fang Zilan calmed down, returned to her original look of lowered eyebrows, and sighed softly: "It turns out that the truth is like this. Thank you General Mo and Madam for informing me."
"Miss Lan, you..." Mrs. Hu was about to say something, but saw tears in her eyes and a tired look, so she couldn't help but stop talking.
"I will keep what General Mo and Madam Mo said in mind." Fang Zilan straightened up, "It's just that right now, I'm really exhausted both physically and mentally. I hope General Mo and Madam will let me go and rest for a while. I..." she said. Before he finished speaking, his body trembled.
Awan hurriedly walked over and supported her with quick eyes and hands, and said to Mo Bin and Mrs. Hu: "My sister is not in good health, and now these words have stimulated her too much. I think it will take more time to recover." , I hope General Mo and his wife will not blame you."
Seeing this, Mrs. Hu was about to call Yan's mother to come in, when she saw Mo Han stood up and said: "Father, mother, I will send Sister Lan back to rest first."
"Go." After Mo Bin agreed, Mrs. Hu asked Mo Han as if she remembered something: "Han'er, if Miss Lan needs anything, just tell your mother." Then she looked at Fang Zilan and said: " Miss Lan, just treat this place as your own home. Live in peace and don't be polite to us."
"Thank you, madam." Fang Zilan responded in a low voice, and then returned to the backyard room with Awan's support and Mo Han's company.
After they left, Mrs. Hu looked at Mo Bin with a complicated expression, "Master, what do you think?"
"This woman has a noble temperament, every move is powerful, and her identity is absolutely extraordinary. Maybe she is really the daughter of Miss Qin Xuan, or maybe..." Mo Bin looked dark and unclear, "She is a spy sent over there, for He grabbed hold of our Mo family and got this jade pendant from nowhere."
"But Master, Concubine Shu has passed away, and no one else will know the secret of the jade pendant except us and His Highness Prince Ning. What's more, this jade pendant cannot be fake..." Mrs. Hu said, looking at Mo Bin carefully. I saw him reaching out and holding her hand, and said comfortingly: "Yes. If you don't believe it, how could I tell her so much?"
After hearing what he said, Mrs. Hu felt a little relieved, but within a moment she became worried again: "But what if..."
"If anything happens..." A wry smile appeared on Mo Bin's face, "Then it will be my Mo family who deserves this disaster."
Mrs. Hu looked worried, "Master, now King Rongan is jealous of you in every possible way, and there are pirates outside who are eyeing you. There is no way for us to be on guard all the time. If the court is alarmed..."
"I heard that the imperial court is selecting a special envoy, and he will come to the southeast for inspection soon." Mo Bin sighed, "With internal and external troubles, what is supposed to come will eventually come. Madam, are you afraid?"
"As long as the master is here, I'm not afraid." Mrs. Hu shook her head and said with a smile in her eyes, "As long as our family is together, I'm not afraid of anything."
"Okay." Mo Bin took her into his arms, with a rare tenderness hidden in his eyes.
