"I overstepped my bounds." Pei Juqing said politely in the first sentence, but changed her tone in the second sentence, "However, although your sister's LAN character is related to the element of earth, it is still a bit forced. Strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as the character of the five elements. Your Majesty is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, how could you be so careless?"
"Your Excellency, Lord Guo Guo." Fang Zitong gritted his teeth and said word by word: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"These things about the Fang family seem to be unrelated, but if they are connected together, they are worth pondering. Is it possible that your father spent a lot of effort on a jade mine that is closely related to the previous dynasty to protect someone from the previous dynasty? The orphan of a big shot? For example, someone who doesn’t comply with the naming regulations of the Fang family—your sister Fang Zilan..."
Before Pei Juqing could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Fang Zitong, "I, Lord Jingjuan, are an important minister in the imperial court and a pillar of the capital. That's why I patiently listened to what you said, but I never thought that your Excellency would make unwarranted guesses. Our family is here to throw dirty water."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and said condescendingly: "Although our Fang family is not one of the nine noble families, we are by no means a chopping block fish to be slaughtered by others."
"Whether the Fang family secretly hides the orphans of the previous dynasty and is involved with the remnants of the previous dynasty, we will find out once we investigate." Pei Juqing looked at Fang Zitong amusedly and said, "The Fang family has always been open-minded, why is Second Miss Fang so angry?"
"Your Majesty Duke Guo Guo speaks lightly, don't you know that people's words can be feared?" Fang Zitong looked coldly, "My father was an official of the previous dynasty. Even though he was cautious in everything, he could not say that he had nothing to do with the previous dynasty. Everyone is talking about it. With so much money, it is unknown that the Fang family will be charged with unwarranted crimes."
"If the Fang family is really innocent, why should we be afraid of an investigation?" Pei Juqing said quietly: "In the face of facts, people's words are not enough to fear."
"What a person says is not enough to be afraid of." Fang Zitong said in a cold voice with a stern look on his face: "Since Mr. Guo Guo has already said this, we might as well open the sky and speak openly. What Duke Guo Jun said today is so aimed at the Fang family. In addition to testing me, it is also to add fuel to the flames when it comes to verification in the future, am I right?"
"That's right." Pei Juqing raised the corners of her lips, raised her hands and said, "Miss Fang, I really did not misjudge the person. Only you can handle my business."
"Why?" Fang Zitong looked a little ferocious, "There are many high-ranking families in the capital. Why is Mr. Pei targeting my Fang family alone?"
"Targeted?" Pei Juqing repeated the word, and said meaningfully: "Miss Fang Er is right, it is targeted. Your former dynasty, just because the seller wanted glory, suddenly turned into the prime minister of the dynasty. The origin He is not upright and his virtue is not worthy of his place, so he will attack in groups. Second Miss Fang, I am far from the only person in the capital who is waiting to see your father's reputation be ruined and the Fang family be ruined."
Fang Zitong was shocked by his words and took a step back, but still kept her face and said: "Master Junguo said he was talking about business, but in fact he was coercing and luring him. He has no sincerity at all. How can I believe it?"
"This information is my sincerity." Pei Juqing said solemnly: "As long as Miss Fang marries me as my wife, I guarantee that no one in the capital will reveal a word."
Fang Zitong sneered and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Jun, dares to ask me for a marriage certificate. You want to know more information than this, right?"
"It's true." Pei Juqing nodded slightly and said calmly, "But I'm afraid Miss Fang doesn't want to hear the other news."
"Is it because I don't want to hear it, or does Mr. Guo Guo have no other news?" Fang Zitong raised his eyebrows, and Pei Jueqing smiled, "Miss Fang, there is no need to provoke me. Just listen to what I say. Quan is expressing my gratitude. Marry your sincerity.”
Fang Zitong lowered his eyes and bit his lip, only to hear Pei Juqing say: "I heard that when His Majesty was still King Xiang, Princess Xiang was originally proposed to marry someone else, but she ended up marrying your sister. I wonder if Miss Fang knows the reason. ?”
Fang Zitong remained silent, and Pei Juqing continued talking on her own, "It is said that something unexpected happened and the originally scheduled Princess Xiang suddenly lost her mother, so your sister had no choice but to marry her instead."
He paused for a moment as he spoke, "By the way, you should be the only one who can marry your sister in your place, right? And the person your sister can marry in your place is your sister Fang Zilan. It's really interesting, why does everything have to do with your sister?" Related? What makes me even more curious is, why did the dignified Prince Xiang marry a concubine like your sister? And why did your biological mother die at such a coincidence..."
"That's enough." Fang Zitong quickly stopped what he was saying, and his expression became much calmer.
Pei Juqing knows too much, and coupled with his power and position, even if it cannot destroy the Fang family, it is enough to prevent the Fang family from ever getting ahead.
A strong man's wrist is cut off, but he still has the strength to fight. What's more, it's just a marriage contract, which is far from the end of the road.
However, she had never hated Fang Zilan so much. Because of her, her sister's marriage and her own were ruined.
She closed her eyes tightly, and when she opened them again, there was only a look of solemnity in her eyes.
She sat back again, looked at the person in front of her, and said slowly: "I can marry you, but I want you to agree to two requirements."
Pei Juqing met her gaze and said, "Second Miss Fang, it doesn't matter if you say so."
Fang Zitong said seriously: "Firstly, all the news about the Fang family that Mr. Guo Guo knows will not be revealed from anyone from now on. Secondly, in the future, Mr. Guo Guo, the Empress Dowager, and even the entire The Pei family must stand by the Fang family. My father will not be harmed in court, my sister will not be harmed in the harem, and the Fang family will not be touched outside. No hidden tricks are allowed."
Pei Juqing looked at the people in front of her with interest and couldn't help but smile, "Miss Fang, the first request is my sincerity, I will definitely agree to you. As for the second request, even if I agree to you now , would you believe it?”
"No." Fang Zitong answered neatly, "That's why I will marry you."
Pei Juanqing was stunned for a moment, only to hear her voice, which was like pearls and jade, clear and moving, but with a chill to the bone, "After I marry into the Pei family, I will stay by your side day and night. If you have any intention of going back on your word, I will kill you." you."
She spoke lightly, and Pei Jueqing's smile froze on her face, but it only lasted for a moment, and then the smile on his face became even brighter, "Second Miss Fang calls herself a weak girl, how can she kill me?"
"Your Excellency, Lord Guo Guo, you can give it a try." Fang Zitong's red lips curved slightly, and a smile escaped. She was born to be gorgeous, but now under the dim candlelight, she seemed to be born on the bank of the underworld, adding to the destructive charm.
For some reason, Pei Juqing's heart suddenly twitched, disrupting its original heartbeat rhythm. He calmly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and calmed down.
Everything is under his control, no one can become a variable.
After Fang Zitong left, Pei Juqing's confidant walked in and said, "Sir, Master Xiaoze has made arrangements."
"Okay." Pei Juqing relaxed and breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Let my cousin add more fuel to the fire and force Miss Fang until there is no way out."
"Your Excellency holds Miss Fang Er in your hands. Will the Prime Minister really be obedient?" A confidant looked hesitant, "When a student from a poor family becomes an official, your Majesty and the Zhuge family are standing behind the Prime Minister. I'm afraid..."
He did not continue. Pei Juqing half-squinted her eyes and said: "On one side are the world's noble family and my beloved daughter, on the other side are your majesty and the Zhuge family. Fang Chongzheng, please don't let me down."
