Fang Zilan picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, and said happily: "It's great to have festivals to celebrate, banquets to eat, fun to play and rewards to do, what to do with all that."
"I find that you are really big-hearted now." Awan fished out a melon seed, and Fang Zilan smiled, "If you go to hell a few more times, I guarantee that your heart will be bigger than mine."
A Wan shook her head and said: "Who can compare with you..."
"Eat less melon seeds, it's easy to get angry." Fang Zilan said, putting Awan's tea cup into her hand, "Drink tea. And you, Lao Cao, too, drink more tea."
"Boss, I'll do it myself." Vice General Cao poured several cups of tea in succession. Mo Han poured tea and water for him and said, "Vice General Cao, drink slowly, be careful not to burn it."
Vice General Cao put down the tea cup, and before he could speak, he saw the butler hurried in again, "Sir Fang, people from the palace said they can bring their relatives, but they can't bring more than six relatives and followers."
"I understand." Fang Zilan responded, and the housekeeper said again: "Master Fang is here, do you want to invite him in?"
"Mr. Fang?" Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, then responded, "Mr. Fang Lihui? Please invite him in."
After a while, the housekeeper came with Fang Lihui. When Fang Lihui saw Fang Zilan, he was about to salute when she stopped him, "Mr. Fang, there is no need to be polite between you and me."
"Since Mr. Fang said so, I won't be polite." Fang Lihui said and sat down on the empty seat gracefully.
After Fang Zilan signaled the housekeeper to step back, she asked, "Young Master Fang came here today. Why do you know why?"
Fang Lihui coughed lightly and said, "I'm ashamed to say that I came here today just for this year's money."
"Tell me, how long do you want my grace this time?" Fang Zilan looked like he was very talkative. Fang Lihui pursed his lips and said pitifully: "Can two years be enough?"
Hearing this, Awan choked on his tea and coughed several times, "Mr. Fang, are you going too far?"
Fang Zilan took a sip of tea and asked calmly: "How much did the Fang family pay for the battle with Miluo?"
Fang Lihui said nothing, and Fang Zilan glanced at him, "I heard from Miss Ouyang that the Fang family sold the jade mine?"
Fang Lihui sighed softly and said: "The jade mine was originally in my uncle's name and was not included in the Fang family's property. After my uncle sold it, he donated it to the national treasury in the name of the Queen."
"The Queen has donated a jade mine, and the Fang family will only have more, not less." Fang Zilan knew it in her heart, and calmly asked: "The Fang family has been exhausted, so they just changed their name to Huangshang. Is it worth it?"
"Master Fang, don't you understand this?" Fang Lihui curled his lips slightly, waved his folding fan and said: "With the name of Huangshang, the business of Fangfang family will be a real golden sign, and there will be no other brand in the world." People can match each other.”
Fang Zilan said without comment: "Seventy percent of the world's business is in the hands of the Fang family. Mr. Fang, what do you mean by lying to me?"
Fang Zilan followed Fang Ziqin into the inner courtyard, thinking secretly all the way, fearing that her sister's tea drinking was a lie, and what she said was true.
But what will he say to her? Is it to reveal her true identity or to test her purpose of following King Xiang? She thought about it, but she didn't have a clue.
The original owner of Fang Zilan's body probably had the deepest impression of her eldest sister Fang Ziqin when she was summoned by her second sister Fang Zitong to look at flowers in the garden when she was twelve years old.
Fang Zitong said that the tribute peonies were valuable and asked her to take care of them all the time, which was a clear sign of bullying her.
She originally thought that Fang Ziqin would help Fang Zitong bully her, the unpopular doormat of the Fang Mansion, or simply ignore him as if he didn't see it. Who would have expected that Fang Ziqin actually reprimanded Fang Zitong in a few words, and even when he got into trouble in front of his father Fang Chongzheng, he still told the truth clearly and unabashedly. Later, Fang Zitong's resentment towards her grew even more as she was forced to kneel down in the ancestral hall.
Thinking about it now, Fang Zilan can't figure out whether Fang Ziqin did it out of good intentions or deliberately. If she had put it aside in the past, she would not have thought so much and just assumed it was the former, but now...
She couldn't help but sigh as she thought about this.
"Miss Xiu sighed, but you think the punishment I just imposed was too severe?" Fang Ziqin's voice rang in her ears, pulling her somewhat wandering thoughts back, "This is the princess's housework, I dare not say anything. "
"You haven't changed at all." Fang Ziqin smiled faintly, "At best, it sounds indifferent and uncontroversial. At worst, you don't know what to say. Sometimes I also wonder what do you care about?"
"I don't quite understand what the princess said, but I know very well that there are very few people in this world who are truly indifferent, at least not me." Fang Zilan said, taking the teacup handed over by Fang Ziqin, and looked at With wisps of white smoke rising, he couldn't help but continue, "It's just that some people have a hard time just being wise enough to protect themselves, let alone caring."
"If you really wanted to protect yourself wisely, you wouldn't have hesitated just now." Fang Ziqin put the tea cup in his hand on the table and looked at the person in front of him steadily, "You are just overestimating your capabilities. I want to protect others, but I don’t even have the ability to protect myself.”
"Protecting yourself is not something you can do only by hurting others." Fang Zilan's expression became a bit colder, "The princess is so high up that she doesn't know how difficult it is for an ant to survive."
"Since you know it's hard, you should stay calm." Fang Ziqin's smile disappeared. "Do you know what would happen if I let those two girls go just now? People's words are scary, maybe tomorrow there will be news in the capital With the news that His Royal Highness Prince Benxiang has lost his Sacred Heart, who will know what will happen when the current situation is unstable and people's hearts are changing? If you want to keep the high position you say about me, you can't do it with just a few beautiful words."
"The princess is very resourceful, I admire her very much." Fang Zilan's lips curled up slightly with a cold smile, "It's just a pity for those two little girls."
"I know you are not convinced. It doesn't matter, you have such a temper anyway." Fang Ziqin said, taking the tea cup on the table and taking a sip, "But let me remind you, be careful when doing things around His Highness, don't Cause trouble to His Highness."
Fang Zilan was a little confused. From the first words she heard from Fang Ziqin, she knew that she was convinced that she was Fang Zilan from the Fang family - her third sister. She originally thought that Fang Ziqin would test her purpose by insinuations, but who knew that she was actually Fang Zilan from the Fang family? She was told not to cause trouble to Prince Xiang, which made her a little bit uncontrollable. She couldn't help but ask: "The princess cares so much about His Highness Prince Xiang, doesn't she want to know why I am with His Highness?"
"Your Highness has his own reasons for doing things. I only need to do my part. What does other people do have nothing to do with me?" Fang Ziqin answered happily, but Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment.
