"It has never been my style to stay out of things." Fang Zilan straightened her sleeves carelessly, "What's more, the prime minister also said that someone will cause trouble for the third lady of the prime minister's house. At this juncture, I, the third lady of the prime minister's house, left the capital rashly, Aren't you going to cause trouble to the Fang family? I never like to cause trouble to others."
"Really?" Fang Chongzheng was noncommittal. He naturally knew that Fang Zilan was telling the truth, but with her temperament, she would never keep such words in her heart. This was the first time she said it so straightforwardly.
For some reason, even though he only met her a few times, he always felt that the person in front of him was different from the Fang Zilan before. So when Di Rong received the Feng Banquet, he believed Princess Erya's words in a daze - she was under this body. , in fact, he is already another person.
Fang Zilan raised the corners of her lips and said with a smile: "Dad, if you don't believe in my daughter, my daughter will be sad."
Her tone was quite coquettish, even if it was Fang Chongzheng, he coughed lightly and said, "Lan'er, don't make trouble."
Fang Zilan immediately changed back to her well-behaved ladylike appearance, gave a bow and said yes.
She paused for a moment and snorted disdainfully, as if she had some complaints about the actions of these Jianghu sects, but after a moment, she calmed down and said, "Ji Ningtian certainly doesn't want to see this kind of thing." situation, so my brother found Geng Nan from the Xiaojinghu Sect in order to share his worries."
Fang Zilan's heart sank, and Hong He continued talking to himself, "Geng Nan is a gambler. It's easy to lure him into the game. It's even easier to make him be at his mercy. All he needs is an IOU and a few threats. Then they will obey obediently. After all, among these so-called decent people, who don’t regard their reputation as more important than their lives?”
"Even if Geng Nan is willing to obey, it will be difficult for him to respond to everything at once." Fang Zilan's face was as dark as water, "I'm afraid he took advantage of your Feiling Mountain power to gain his own prestige..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly realized, "I guess it wasn't Geng Nan who took advantage of your Fei Lingshan momentum, but it was you who took the initiative to build momentum for him."
"Miss Zixiu is really smart. No wonder Ji Ningtian values you very much." Hong He took a deep look at Fang Zilan and said, "As long as Geng Nan brings him here, we will have a way to make him disappear. . Whether it’s the Wheel-turning King or the mainstays of the sects that don’t deal with him, it’s nothing more than this.”
Fang Zilan's other hand hidden in her sleeve clenched into a fist, and she said with a sullen face: "I don't understand, you just kill people, why do you have to get human bones and send them to Miluo? "
"We are just following orders, how do we know the reason?" Honghe lowered his eyes and said, "If Miss Zixiu wants to know, it is better to ask Ji Ningtian, and you may know faster."
"Miss Honghe, do you really want to reply to me like this?" Fang Zilan used hard force on her hands, forcing Honghe to kneel on the ground, "That's the Wheel King Chubin, and everyone in the world wants him dead, you Hong family Brothers and sisters can’t either…”
"Why?" Hong He frowned slightly. She always felt that the name Chu Bin was familiar, but when it was combined with the three words "Wang Chao Lun Wang", she had no clue.
"Wang Chubin, the king of the Wheel, is the son of Chu Xiang, the traitor general of the previous dynasty." As soon as Fang Zilan finished speaking, Hong He suddenly retorted: "Uncle Chu Xiang is not a traitor general!"
She didn't react until she finished speaking, and looked at Fang Zilan in disbelief, "You mean, the Wheel King is..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice trembled, "This is impossible..." She shook her head like a rattle and murmured "impossible".
"Nothing is impossible." Fang Zilan looked at it coldly and said word by word: "You have worked for Ji Ningtian for many years, and you have an idea of what kind of person he is. Why did he marry Princess Wuqing and want you to kill Chu Bin is for the same purpose."
The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, "Only the most obedient chess pieces will be left behind. Chu Bin's death will not be the end, and you may be next."
"I don't believe it." Hong He raised his head and stared at Fang Zilan closely, "Even if Ji Ningtian is ruthless, Princess Wuqing will not..."
"Nothing?" Fang Zilan intercepted Hong He's words unceremoniously, "The previous dynasty was reduced to ashes, Zhenbei General Pingnan Wang and his wife passed away, and today's Princess Wuqing is just a puppet in the hands of Ji Ningtian, regardless of Is she willing to stand with you, just saying that she doesn’t understand your past and loyalty, how can she do anything for you?”
"If the true identity of Feiling Mountain Bandit is revealed to the public today, I think your Hong clan will also be known to the world." Fang Zilan's words were obviously sarcastic, but Hong He was not angry after hearing this, "If so, you must The Li family knows that the old people from the previous dynasty are not yet dead..."
In the next few days, as Fang Chongzheng said, there were waves of people testing the third lady of the prime minister's house. How could the thin and sick third lady resist such kindness, so she fell ill within two days.
On the day Fang Zilan became ill, she happened to catch up with the flower party held by Mrs. Wang Quanrui, the Minister of Rites. In previous years, she would never be invited to such an occasion. Firstly, she was the concubine of the prime minister's house, and secondly, she was notoriously weak.
In fact, in the first two years when she turned ten, there were many aristocratic family activities such as flower parties and tea parties. I pretended to invite her once or twice. After being rejected every time, I never sent an invitation to Baoxiu Pavilion again. .
After all, with a young lady as famous as Fang Ziqin in the capital, and a charming and noble daughter like Fang Zitong, who would remember that there is such an incompetent third lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Over time, Fang Zilan, the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was forgotten by many aristocratic families in the capital. However, this year was different. A Yue Duke with the same name as her committed a heinous crime. Once he fell from the clouds and fell into the dust, the dignitaries of the high family remembered her, the young lady with the same name.
After participating in several activities, Fang Zilan gradually realized that perhaps it was the peace in the world in recent years or the prosperity and peace in the capital that made the nobles of these aristocratic families quite boring and lonely. They wanted to add some spice to this empty life, but were determined not to. If you are willing to sacrifice yourself to entertain others, you can only hope that something will happen to someone day and night, and then you can mock them arbitrarily. This can be regarded as a way to pass the time in life.
Therefore, as the target of criticism, Fang Zilan was surrounded by comments wherever she went. She dutifully played the role of a delicate rich lady, with a low eyebrow and a slight smile, as if she didn't understand what others were talking about.
But at the flower party hosted by Mrs. Wang Quanrui, Fang Zilan saw Mo Han, who was in despair, and A Wan, whose head was drooping. She watched the two of them being made things difficult for them, and she could no longer maintain her gentle appearance.
