The servants of the Fang family were surrounding the woman not far away, all looking like they were in a dilemma. They were afraid that something had happened to the woman, and that even if they jumped into the Yellow River in full view of the public, they would not be able to escape.
Fang Zilan patted a woman beside her who was watching the excitement and asked politely: "May I ask this lady, what happened to the Fang family?"
The woman waved her hand nonchalantly, "It's not a big deal. There has been such a commotion in front of the Fang family for a few months. It would be strange if it stopped one day."
Awan couldn't help but feel strange and asked: "This is the first time we have met. Madam, please explain in more detail."
"Do you know Mr. Fang Lihui of the Fang family?" The woman looked gossipy. Fang Zilan and Awan nodded and said, "Of course I know."
"This Mr. Fang is a well-known playboy. I don't know what the rest of the Fang family is thinking, but now such a playboy like him is allowed to take charge." The woman said with regret.
Another woman next to him spoke up: "I think the Fang family will be defeated by Fang Lihui sooner or later. A few days ago, a woman who looked like his wife came and caused trouble, and now there's another one, and she's still pregnant. …”
"What a crime..." The woman looked unbearable and whispered: "I just heard this girl say that she was coaxed by Young Master Fang and got pregnant and was kicked out by her family, so she had the shame to come to Fang's house to cause trouble. of."
Another woman said angrily: "What is this? Fang Lihui is really nothing!"
Fang Zilan and Awan roughly understood what the two of them said to each other, and couldn't help exchanging glances. They both saw the intention of coming back another day on each other's faces.
"Fang Zilan..." Awan called her timidly, and she pondered for a moment: "How about we go back today?"
Just as A Wan was about to nod, she was pushed aside by the crowd that gathered to watch the fun.
Fang Zilan subconsciously reached out to pull her, but he didn't even touch the corner of her clothes. He could only watch as she was squeezed further and further away.
"A Wan!" Fang Zilan immediately didn't care, broke away from the crowd, grabbed A Wan's wrist, and pulled her out.
However, as soon as she struggled, the crowd started to push and shove each other, and some people started yelling and cursing, pointing the finger at both of them.
Fang Zilan simply held Awan's hand and stood at the front of the crowd, walking toward the gate of Fang Mansion.
She walked dignifiedly step by step, not caring about the yelling behind her.
The servant at the door saw another woman coming to the door, one older and one younger, and couldn't help but panic.
But they saw the woman stop in front of them and said loudly: "The Duke of Yue, Fang Zilan, has come to visit Master Fang Lihui, and I hope you will inform him."
As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd watching around fell silent for a moment, and then the uproar became even fiercer.
"Is this the newly promoted Duke of Yue, Lord Zilanfang?"
"No, Mr. Fang actually had an affair with Fang Lihui. Now there's something exciting to watch!"
"Didn't you see that Mr. Fang is holding a little girl's hand? Could it be her daughter?"
"Daughter, with whom? If it were true, it would be even more exciting..."
There were a lot of rumors around, and Awan couldn't help but look at Fang Zilan, and said disdainfully: "Do you think they have enough to eat and have nothing to do? How old are you to have a daughter as old as me?"
Fang Zilan chuckled, "It's quite imaginative."
Zhuge Yu sighed: "It really cannot be underestimated."
"When it comes to fighting, I'm good at it. When it comes to tracking and exploring, Lao Cao is a good hand. As for practicing medicine and saving people, it goes without saying that A Wan is very capable." Fang Zilan raised the corners of her lips, with an obvious look of pride on her face, "Plus Let Ayu plan the strategy, and our trip will be extremely smooth."
"I hope so." Zhuge Yu smiled lightly and led the three of them into Xiguan City.
After entering the city, the four of them hurriedly changed their outfits, and then knocked on the door of Dugu Mansion.
After the boy at the door confirmed their identities, he led them to the living room and said as he walked: "You guys have arrived. My General Dugu knew that they were coming, and he has been waiting at the house since yesterday. I haven't even left my house, I'm just waiting for a few people to arrive."
The servant brought them to the door of the living room, made a respectful gesture of invitation, and then went down.
Fang Zilan looked directly into the hall and saw a person sitting on the main seat, dressed in black robes, quite solemn and solemn.
His hair on the temples was dyed a bit of snow color, and the wrinkles on his forehead were difficult to smooth out, but they still couldn't conceal the majesty of his whole body. His whole person exuded an aura of pride from top to bottom. He was none other than Dugu Xin, the head of the Dugu family.
Fang Zilan took a deep breath, stepped into the living room first, cupped her fists and saluted, "Fang Zilan has met General Dugu."
Zhuge Yu, who followed her in, also bowed respectfully, "Zhuge Yu has met General Dugu."
Dugu Xin stood up, held his hands in return and said, "You two don't need to be so polite. Mr. Fang is my equal, Mr. Zhuge is your Majesty's confidant, so Dugu Xin accepted this gift in vain."
Fang Zilan stood up straight and said solemnly: "General Dugu, you are polite. This time, Master Zhuge and I came to the Western Region on His Majesty's order. I think General Dugu also knows the reason, so I won't go into details. If General Dugu has no other Order, I want to meet Fang Liren first."
She got straight to the point and spoke clearly, without any hesitation. Duguxin was stunned, "Master Fang is more anxious than I thought."
"I can't say I'm anxious. It's just that the sooner the matter is resolved, the sooner I can return to your Majesty and the sooner I can return to the north." Fang Zilan looked indifferent, "Does General Dugu have any advice?"
"I can't talk about advice. It's just that Mr. Fang is young and might suffer a loss against a shrewd businessman like Fang Liren." Dugu Xin said his words kindly, but there was a hint of contempt in his tone that was not easy to detect.
Fang Zilan's lips curled up slightly, "General Dugu, are you trying to help me hold off the battle?"
Duguxin nodded and said, "If Mr. Fang doesn't mind, I will go with Mr. Fang."
Not long after, there was a creaking sound, and the central door of Fang's mansion opened wide, and Fang Lihui walked in. He bowed respectfully and said, "I don't know that Mr. Fang is here, but Li Hui was a bit disappointed to welcome you from afar. I hope Mr. Fang will forgive me."
"Mr. Fang's words are serious." Fang Zilan motioned to Fang Lihui not to be too polite, "I have nothing to do in the first month of the year. I just came here to take a walk and ask for a cup of tea. I wonder if Mr. Fang is free?" After saying this, she looked at the arms beside the beam. A woman from Liujia.
Fang Lihui followed her gaze and said calmly: "It's rare for Mr. Fang to come here, how can Li Hui not be free?"
He bowed and raised his hand in an inviting gesture, inviting Fang Zilan and Awan into the gate of Fang Mansion.
When the two of them entered, Fang Lihui glanced at the pregnant woman in front of the door, and then whispered, "Bring her in together."
