Fang Qianxue had been married for five years, with both a son and a daughter. She believed she would live a harmonious life with Lu Changqing until old age. However, one day, Lu Changqing brought b...
Chapter 118: There is hope as long as you live
Yang Yunwan's only request was to stay in the Beining Palace, but the sky fell! The Beining King wanted to move away, and he would not take her with him!
"You said the prince won't take you away, so you should go and beg the prince. What's the use of begging me?" Fang Qianxue carefully observed the beauty in front of her and found that she was kneeling straight. It was obvious that she had received an excellent education in the Yang Mansion.
"I dare not!" Yang Yunwan lowered his head and said, "I know that as long as the Yang family is still there, the prince will never favor me. He has the intention to kill me. If I hadn't kept a low profile these days, I would have died long ago. It's a pity that my father and uncles don't understand. They think that I can get nothing good by staying with the King of Beining."
Listening to the gong sounds and noise coming from outside the door, Fang Qianxue casually took out a black piece from the chess basket beside her and rubbed it in her hand: "How do you want me to help you?"
This woman had a clear understanding of her situation, but unfortunately she was born in a humble family, so although she could see clearly, she could not control her own destiny.
"Princess, please keep me!" Yang Yunwan raised her head and looked at her hopefully. "I am willing to do any dirty or tiring work. You can also give me anything that is inconvenient for you to do. As long as Princess, keep me, I will be yours from now on! I have no other request, just to survive, please let me survive!"
Her mother told her that as long as she was alive there was hope, but if she died there was no hope.
"If you want to stay and be my man, you must first prove that you are useful. Do you hear the gongs and noise outside?" Fang Qianxue asked.
"I heard it." Yang Yunwan knew that she was testing him, but he did not panic at all.
"Do you know what it is for?"
"I know. The old lady of the Lu family has brought people to take away the young master and young lady." Yang Yunwan had just been at the side door when he heard several servants at the gate tell him about Chen coming to ring the gong.
"Go to the main gate now. If you can drive them away without sacrificing any soldiers, I will keep you." Fang Qianxue threw the chess piece in her hand back into the chess basket. "If you can't do it, you can leave."
"I can do it!" Yang Yunwan clenched his fists with confidence.
Isn't it just to drive away an old woman? She can!
As a result, as soon as she walked out of the Fang Mansion’s gate, she was staggered by the sound of a gong.
"Dang!" Madam Zhao banged the gong against her ear and shouted, "Damn little whore? Go in there and tell Fang Qianxue to come out!"
Yang Yunwan held onto the door frame and managed to stand. She glanced at the mob in front of the door and found that things were much more complicated than she had imagined.
She had learned poetry, accounting, and the "Yonglu Shuyi" at home since she was a child. If she were to reason, she could talk until the sky collapsed and the earth split, and these old women would not be her opponents. However, she suddenly found that these old women and the onlookers all had faces that looked like they were watching the fun and didn't mind making trouble. The three words "unreasonable" were written all over their faces.
It's over. I underestimated the difficulty and took the enemy lightly.
No wonder Fang Qianxue didn’t come out herself. When a scholar meets a soldier, it’s hard for him to explain himself!
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Madam Zhao started to shout at the crowd again, "Fang Qianxue is not a faithful wife. She hooked up with Young Marquis Jiang and then hooked up with Prince Beining. Such a fickle woman is not worthy of raising our Lu family's children! Please be our witnesses."
People in the crowd began to whisper. The voices were not very loud, but Yang Yunwan could just hear them.
"Tsk tsk, there are always gossips around a widow. This is Young Marquis Jiang and the King of Beining..."
"Any man would be tempted by Fang Qianxue's coquettish look, right? There's nothing wrong with a man and a woman making love."
"But she has a child with her. If she is not a decent person, what if she corrupts the child? I have heard that all the children who grow up in brothels are... thieves and prostitutes!"
Chen stood nearby, wearing a light brown jacket and with her hair neatly combed. She pressed her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Our Lu family is a family that values its reputation. If Fang Qianxue hadn't taken my grandchildren and refused to give them back, I wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure. Today, I ask all the villagers to save my grandchildren!"
"Dang! Dang! De..." There were a few more gong sounds.
Yang Yunwan took a quick step forward, snatched the gong from Madam Zhao's hand, and threw it into the door. Immediately, a servant picked up the gong and ran away.
"Why are you knocking? Is your old lady having a funeral?"
"..." Madam Zhao pointed at her with a trembling finger, "You little whore, you look like a decent person, but you dare to snatch my gong and curse my old lady?!"
"I'm not cursing," Yang Yunwan sneered and glanced at Chen, "If you dare to fart again, wait for Prince Beining to come and let the horse kick your old lady to death, just in time for the funeral."
She didn't dare to say "a scholar can bring peace to the world with a pen, and a warrior can decide the outcome on horseback", but her mother told her that "the stronger you are, the stronger you become", and she must never lose an argument!
"You! What's wrong with us wanting to take back our Lu family's descendants?" Aunt Zhao sneered, "If you don't believe me, go ask. Lu Qingyao and Lu Qingyuan are still listed in our Lu family's household registration book!"
"Pah!" Yang Yun gave her a big smack with his hand, "Fuck you!"
"You! You are the one who let go..." Nanny Zhao was stunned and wanted to fight back, but when she saw the soldiers in front of Fang's mansion, she gave up.
"I forgot to tell you that our young lady and young master have changed their names a long time ago. They are now Fang Qingyao and Fang Qingyuan." Yang Yunwan knew that the Prince of Beining had been busy changing the household registration of the Prince of Beining's Palace recently, but he didn't know whether the change was successful, so he could only bluff first. "Their household registration is now registered in the Prince of Beining's Palace. If you have the guts, go check it out!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd of onlookers immediately began to bubble like boiling water.
"The Prince of Beining actually allowed Fang to live with her two children in the Prince of Beining's mansion? Is this true?"
"Aren't they the little prince and princess of the Beining Palace? They are so successful!"
Chen took a deep breath, looked Yang Yunwan up and down, and asked angrily, "Who are you? This is a personal grudge between Fang Qianxue and me. It has nothing to do with you. Go and get Fang to come out..."
"You old lady look kind, but why are you talking nonsense? It doesn't matter who I am, but you are dogs!" Yang Yunwan looked at Chen coldly, "Why don't you get out? Are you really waiting to be kicked to death by a horse?"
"My grandson..." Chen was so angry that her heart ached. She held on to Liansheng's hand and barely managed to stand steady.
The maids and old women who followed her all looked at Yang Yunwan in a daze.
This girl clearly looks like a small cabbage, how could she be a big poisonous flower?
"Wake up!" Yang Yun patted the old lady who almost fainted in Liansheng's arms, "Where did you get your grandchildren? Your Lu family has done too many immoral things, you deserve to be extinct."
"Ah!!" Chen opened and closed his eyes and then fainted.
"Madam! Madam!" Liansheng shouted in panic, "Hurry up and find a doctor!"
