At this moment, Fang Kui suddenly shouted, "What are you all standing there for! Your sister-in-law is going to be beaten to death!"

Not far from them were other branches of the Fang family, each eating separately. Upon seeing this scene, they slowly gathered around.

Jian Xiaoyu suddenly turned her head: "What? Does everyone in the Fang family want to bully me?"

The Fang family members looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.

Fang Kui shouted, "Has no manners? You saw a junior hitting your sister-in-law and didn't even help?"

Suddenly enraged, Jian Xiaoyu raised her hand and used all her fighting spirit to slap Fang's mother. Fang's mother's face turned to the side and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing the Fang family approaching, Jian Xiaoyu glanced unwillingly at Fang Congyun, who was staring straight at her, and then ran away.

"Keep watching! Keep chasing!" Fang Kui said with difficulty.

However, the Fang family, led by the second branch, watched helplessly as Jian Xiaoyu escaped. The middle-aged man at the front looked at Fang Kui and said, "Brother, you've implicated us. This debt... should be settled."

"What are you doing? Are you going to rebel?" Fang Kui realized what was happening and was suddenly filled with fear. He wanted to resist, but he had just taken a lot of the dispelling powder and was now powerless.

"Don't think I don't know you're hiding a huge sum of money, are you?" The other person narrowed their eyes.

Fang Congyun looked at his father in surprise. In just one glance, he understood that what his second uncle said was true, and his father's expression was obviously a little flustered.

It was a long night.

Fang Kui, however, did not live to see dawn.

Disliking Jian Xiaoyu's terrible cooking, Fang Congyun fled as soon as he recovered a little. Hearing his father's screams and pleas for help behind him, he dared not stop. He could even hear footsteps following closely behind him.

When the road ended, Fang Congyun jumped down, causing those who had been chasing him to retreat in frustration.

Fang Congyun, who had just emerged from the pool, was filled with hatred.

"Jian! Xiao! Yu!"

"Wow, that was so exciting! It's a shame you missed it." After watching the excitement, Xiao Hei ran back to Fang Zhiyi, excitedly recounting the whole thing. "How did you know they would turn on each other?"

"It was bound to happen sooner or later. I just gave it a push and sped things up." Fang Zhiyi was busy with the parts in her hands. "I even suspect that Fang Congyun has some special preferences. He clearly prefers those who don't have to take responsibility over those who are married in a proper manner and those who are stolen."

“But he’s not dead… huh?” Xiao Hei suddenly turned around.

Fang Zhiyi was still busy installing the last piece, then picked up the jade pendant and compared it to her own.

"Please, Your Majesty, do not make things difficult for the people."

A person who was completely covered up suddenly walked in. He was obviously taken aback, then burst into laughter and took off his mask: "You really are not a fool. I knew back then that a fool wouldn't have as much courage as you."

Fang Zhiyi turned her head slightly: "Your Majesty, I did not mean to deceive you, I was just asking for a way to survive."

Outside the door, Fang Zhiyi's men were surrounded by four imperial guards. Li San and the others clutched their chests, their faces filled with fear. Was this what imperial guards were like? Were Dou Zongs this terrifying?

"I just wanted to see what you were up to." The emperor casually picked up a glass vessel beside him, examined it, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, and then carefully put it back.

"You should thank me for cleaning up your mess," he said, stroking the sturdy wall. "With your father's abilities, he wouldn't have been seen by a few beggars just leaving the city. Do you think I'm a fool like those noble families?"
