When Fang Zilan heard this, she already had some thoughts in her heart. She raised her head and looked at Fang Lihui, "I admit that Mr. Fang is right. A woman with beauty can always find a way out if she learns something. However, Miss Cong was born in a village. I'm afraid I can't learn anything except working every day. What's more, even if Miss Cong learns something, she probably won't be able to change today's situation."
Fang Lihui put away his folding fan and turned to look at Fang Zilan. Her eyes were filled with perseverance and loneliness, shining brightly.
Just listen to her serious words: "A person's destiny cannot be changed just by learning something. If you compare destiny to an opponent, you must keep moving forward step by step. The further you go, the more opportunities you have to compete with it. It’s good to learn whatever you want, but it only increases your chances of winning and cannot completely determine the final result.”
She sighed suddenly as she spoke, "The world is not easy, and Miss Cong's situation has already determined her status as a weakling. Under this status, her beauty is no longer an asset, but has become a reason to be fought over. I don’t think an ordinary man is innocent, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. I don’t think Mr. Fang doesn’t know this truth.”
Fang Lihui was slightly stunned, "Master Fang, are you speaking for her?"
"I'm not speaking for her." Fang Zilan put her hand on Cong Rong's shoulder and said firmly: "I just believe her."
Cong Rong turned her head in disbelief and stared at the person in front of her, her eyes full of surprise, "Master Fang, are you willing to believe me?"
Fang Zilan nodded, "However, it is one thing for me to believe you. It is another thing for you to have evidence to prove that what you are carrying in your belly is indeed Fang Yuhan's flesh and blood. Without evidence, I can't help you."
"Master Fang!" Fang Lihui's voice was full of suppressed anger. Fang Zilan stood up and looked directly into his eyes, and asked coldly: "Master Fang doesn't want to face the truth?"
"Even if what she said is true, let alone Mrs. Yuhan, the daughter of the Wang family is about to give birth. How will she react if she knows this. Let's just say that her father, the new Duke of Beiguo, and her uncle, who is an official in Beijing, will let her Is the Fang family better off?" Fang Lihui held the folding fan tightly in his palm, and there was an imperceptible tremor in his knuckled hands, "Master Fang, no matter what the truth is, I cannot give her this fairness, let alone give it to her."
"I will not let Mr. Fang trade the entire Fang family for this fairness." Fang Zilan's expression was very calm, but the look in his eyes was indescribable, "But if the truth is like this, then no one can erase it."
Fang Lihui lowered his head and remained silent. Fang Zilan looked at Cong Rong and said, "Do you have any evidence?"
"Yes." Cong Rong nodded hurriedly, and then carefully took out a jade pendant from her arms, "This was given to me by Fang Yuhan."
Fang Zilan took the jade pendant and felt it looked familiar. After looking over it over and over, Fang Lihui whispered: "It's Yuhan's jade pendant. He actually gave it to you, the jade pendant that symbolizes the status of the Fang family. It's really nice." .”
Hearing this, Fang Zilan suddenly understood where her familiarity came from. She also had a similar jade pendant. The carving pattern on it was almost the same as this jade pendant, but the word "LAN" was also engraved on it.
Thinking of this, she lifted up the jade pendant and looked at it towards the light. Sure enough, she saw the word "Han" under the pattern.
After a while, Fang Zilan spoke again: "Now that the matter has come to this, how do you plan to deal with it, Young Master Fang?"
Fang Lihui turned away, thought for a long time, and finally looked at Cong Rong and said: "Miss Cong, Yu Han is at fault in this matter, and the Fang family is ashamed of you. Now I will give you two choices: One, after you give birth, I will let Yu Han Han will accept you as my concubine; secondly, if the girl is willing, she can go to Wanhua Tower, where no one will dare to embarrass you."
Awan, who had been silent until now, couldn't help but say, "Mr. Fang, you actually asked Miss Cong to go to Wanhua Tower?"
Fang Lihui looked at Awan and said amusedly: "Little girl, at your young age, do you know what Wanhua Building does?"
A Wan looked disgusted and said: "Of course I know, isn't it a brothel?"
Fang Lihui raised the corners of his lips and smiled helplessly, "The girls in Wanhua Building are all prostitutes but not their bodies. If you want to leave one day, as long as the reason is innocent, the management in the building will not embarrass you."
However, when she got closer, Awan discovered that Fang Zilan did not smell of alcohol, but instead had a vague woody aroma that was refreshing.
She sniffed it carefully and found that it was not the incense they were used to in their house. It smelled like incense from the palace.
When Vice General Cao saw Awan coming, he stood aside with a wink and gave up his seat next to Fang Zilan.
Awan bent down and came closer to Fang Zilan. Looking at the unnatural blush on her face, she reached out and touched her forehead, "It turns out she has a fever. Why are you so crazy in the cold weather..."
She muttered as she tried to pull her up from the ground.
However, she was not strong enough, so she could only shout to Deputy General Cao next to her: "Come and help me."
"I don't have a fever." Fang Zilan glared at Awan displeasedly and allowed her and Deputy General Cao to drag her into the house.
Vice General Cao helped Fang Zilan to the main seat. Awan hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea for her, and then asked condescendingly: "Tell me, if you don't have a fever, what are you laughing at in the courtyard just now? And what else? What happened to your hand?"
Fang Zilan didn't care, "I got burned accidentally. I've already been given medicine."
Awan looked at the ointment on her hand with disgust on her face, and was about to say something when she saw her lowering her eyes and smiling slightly: "I found him."
Awan was confused, "Who did you find?"
"The little brother who took care of me when I was a child." Fang Zilan thought for a while and added, "The little brother who is as beautiful as fireworks."
Awan looked a little flustered. She turned to Deputy General Cao and asked, "Where has she been today?"
Vice General Cao replied hurriedly: "She was not here when I went to the government office to pick up the boss this afternoon. I asked the guard at the government office and she said that the boss came out of the government office in the afternoon and entered the palace. I have been waiting outside the palace, waiting. As soon as the boss came out of the palace, we went directly back to the house and didn’t go anywhere else.”
After hearing this, Awan frowned slightly and waved her hand in front of Fang Zilan's eyes, "Fang Zilan, do you still know who I am?"
Fang Zilan raised the corners of her lips and said amusedly: "Awan, do you really think I'm crazy?"
Awan saw that her eyes were clear and she didn't look like she was suffering from a fever, so she sat down next to her and said, "You're fine, why do you have a fever?"
"I was walking in a hurry this morning and didn't have time to put on my cloak." Fang Zilan said nonchalantly: "Later, I was admiring the snow in the palace. The charcoal fire in the room was full of fire. I thought about the alternation of cold and heat, and I got a fever."
