Before Pei Xuanchang could finish his words, he saw Fang Zilan's figure flash, hanging by the side of the charcoal fire road, and holding Fang Zitong firmly.
But in an instant, Fang Zilan's clothes were turned black by charcoal fire, but she still did not let go of her hand holding Fang Zitong, "Miss Fang, I won't stop you no matter what you want to do."
She paused as she spoke, then supported most of Fang Zitong's weight with her hands, "You have your own way, but since I said I would take you out, I will never let you fall here. Today. , if you want to go, let’s go together.”
"Fang Zilan, you..." Fang Zitong stared blankly at the person in front of her. Her expression was calm and firm, and her eyes revealed a decisive momentum, which eliminated a lot of her grievances and fears, giving her an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
"Thank you." Fang Zitong did not refuse Fang Zilan for the first time. It seemed like this was the first time he was so nice and angry.
Fang Zilan raised her lips, "I'm very happy." After saying this, she helped Fang Zitong walk forward from the charcoal road step by step.
The Pei family wanted to say something, but when they met Fang Zilan's frightening eyes, they couldn't say anything. They could only watch Fang Zitong walk the long road under her pull.
Fang Lihui stood at the end waiting for the two of them. When he took the last step, he helped Fang Zitong and carried her on his back.
"Cousin..." As soon as Fang Zitong opened his mouth, Fang Lihui stopped him, "Sister Tong, we have everything."
Hearing this, Fang Zitong buried her head on Fang Lihui's back. Fang Zilan stood behind the two of them, blocking in front of the Pei family, and said word by word: "Miss Fang did what she said. Now she is no longer the wife of the Duke of Jui. Hope Pei Everyone at home, take care of yourself."
"Master Fang..." Pei Xiaoze hesitated, but Fang Zilan gave him a cold look, "Master Pei, I have already given you enough face for helping me in the government office in the past. If you bother me, Don't blame me for being rude."
Pei Xiaoze opened his mouth, but in the end no sound came out. Pei Xuanchang took the opportunity to come over and timidly looked over Fang Zilan at Fang Zitong, "Mother, do you not want me anymore?"
Fang Zitong remained silent, with most of her face hidden behind Fang Lihui, so no one could see her expression clearly.
Seeing this, Fang Zilan pursed her lips and said to Pei Xuanchang: "Young Master Pei, she has never been your mother from the beginning to the end." She touched Pei Xuanchang's head, "You have recognized the wrong person."
"I didn't!" Pei Xuanchang burst into tears, and Fang Zilan couldn't bear it. She simply turned her head and stopped looking at him, and followed Fang Lihui and Fang Zitong out of the door of Pei's house.
However, the moment they stepped out of the Pei family's door, they saw Xie Yanping leading the people from the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and Zheng Yan leading the government soldiers. The two sides were facing each other, refusing to give in to each other.
Fang Zilan stepped forward, stood beside Zheng Yan, looked at Xie Yanping, and said calmly: "Master Xie, what are you doing?"
"Fang Zitong, the wife of the Duke of Gui, is suspected of murdering the Duke of Gui. The Jingzhao Yin Mansion is here to take the person." Xie Yanping was not afraid at all. He met Fang Zilan's gaze and said without being humble or arrogant: "Master Fang, please hand the person over to me."
"If I don't hand Miss Fang Er over to you, what can you do to me?" Fang Zilan snorted coldly, and Xie Yan saluted in parallel, "Then I will only be offended."
Fang Zilan's expression grew colder, "Mr. Xie, now you have seen with your own eyes that Miss Fang is seriously injured. If I hand her over to you, can you afford it if something happens?"
A flash of hesitation flashed in Xie Yanping's eyes, but he still insisted: "Master Fang, please don't make it difficult for me to resign."
"Master Xie, so far, no one has been able to take someone from me." Fang Zilan said coldly: "I advise you not to overestimate your capabilities."
"It is your duty to do so even if you die." Xie Yanping stood still as still as a mountain, while Fang Zilan clenched his fists, "Master Xie, don't force me to do anything to you."
Xie Yanping frowned, "Master Fang, you have nothing to do with Miss Fang, why..."
"It has nothing to do with her, what does it have to do with you?" Fang Zilan exuded a vague killing intent, "I will take her away even if I offend everyone today."
Before she finished speaking, she casually pulled out Zheng Yan's knife without waiting for Xie Yanping's reaction, "Mr. Xie, let me say this for the last time, get out of the way."
Xie Yanping refused to give in, and the crowd around him was already excited when he told him that Fang Zitong was suspected of murdering Pei Juqing. Now the discussion is getting louder and louder.
Fang Zilan knew that he couldn't stay long, so he simply patted Xie Yanping on the shoulder with the back of his knife, and threw him aside in a flash. While the people from Jingzhao Yin Mansion went to help him, the onlookers were disturbed by this unexpected situation. When the group was together, they left with the people.
Fang Lihui placed Fang Zitong on the carriage and was about to lower the curtain, but she stopped him with her hand. Her eyes fell on Fang Zilan, "Master Fang."
"What's wrong?" Fang Zilan turned around and saw Fang Zitong biting her lips tightly, her eyes turning red, "I didn't kill Duke Jun."
"I know." Fang Zilan smiled and said without hesitation, "I believe you. Even if you have a bad temper, you will never do anything harmful to others."
In an instant, Fang Zitong let out a long sigh of relief, the corners of his lips slightly curved, but he was about to cry. In such a long time, the first person to say that he believed in her was Fang Zilan.
"Tongmei!" Fang Lihui looked at the crumbling Fang Zitong, his voice was rare and panicked.
"Go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly." Fang Zilan ordered, and Zheng Yan personally drove Fang Zitong back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Fang Zilan turned to look at Xie Yanping, who was not far behind him, "Master Xie, I will not allow you to take Second Miss Fang to Jingzhao Yin Mansion until she recovers from her injuries."
Her tone was almost commanding, and Xie Yan's face was as calm as water, "Master Fang, do you know what you are doing?"
"I know." Fang Zilan calmed her expression and said softly: "Thank you, Mr. Xie, do you know what you are doing? Has the Jingzhao Yin Mansion found out the real cause of death of Mr. Guo Guo?"
Xie Yanping's expression froze, "No matter what, Mrs. Guo Guo needs to cooperate with the investigation."
"Second Miss Fang is at the Prime Minister's Mansion. After she recovers from her injury, I will accompany her to Jingzhao Yin Mansion." Fang Zilan left these words and left without looking back.
Chu Bin stood at the street corner waiting for her. When he saw her coming, he put his cloak on her shoulders, "Be careful if you catch a cold."
Only then did Fang Zilan remember that she had given Dong Xue her cloak. She was thinking about how to bring Fang Zitong out, but she didn't feel cold at all. Until now, the cloak on her shoulders carried Chu Bin's body temperature, sending waves of warmth. In comparison, she suddenly felt a chill rising inside her body, and she couldn't help but sneeze.
"You." Chu Bin sighed helplessly, and Fang Zilan warmed his hands, "I'm going to the Prime Minister's Mansion for two days. You go back first to see how Miss Dongxue is doing."
"General Zheng has gone, you..." Chu Bin was interrupted by Fang Zilan mid-sentence, "Zheng Yan may not be able to stop him. Before the Prime Minister comes back, someone needs to guard the Fang family for him."
