The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Fang Weiyan brought back the finished jewelry from Baoqinglou. Mi Niang opened the box and said to him happily, "They are really beautiful. The colors are bright and the workmanship is exquisite. Every one of them is good."

Fang Weiyan smiled and said, "As long as you are happy."

However, Mi Niang immediately calmed down and said to him, "Pixiu, I went to the upper room to get tea and met someone close to the old lady. She told me that the girl smelled like medicine. Do you think the old lady is not feeling well?"

"You guessed right. Last time, the old lady seemed to have recovered as before, but in fact, she was weak inside. I'm afraid it has something to do with her age." In fact, the old lady in the previous life had passed away at this time. Now she can take medicine to maintain her health, which is already very good.

Mi Niang nodded: "In fact, if the illness keeps getting smaller, it won't be a serious illness. But if the patient is in good health, a flare-up can be a serious illness. I think the old lady still has some time to live, so don't worry."

She pulled him to sit down, and Fang Weiyan said, "I went to your mother's house yesterday to give her a holiday gift. Yu Han is a good student, but a little lazy. Your parents asked me to say a few more words, so I said a few words. Yu Heng is okay. He was naughty when he was young, but now he can hardly be quiet when studying."

"It's hard for you. For a family like ours, how can we have a future if we don't study hard? It's a pity that they are too young to understand many things. Fortunately, you are here to share these with me." Mi Niang was very emotional. She knew that she had to study hard because she had tasted the bitter fruit a long time ago, including her father who studied so hard, and it was also because suffering can make people grow.

But my younger brothers had much better conditions when they were young, and now they are from an official family. I'm sure Second Grandma has doted on my younger brothers even more since she left.

This makes it easy for people to slack off.

Fang Weiyan shook his head: "Your brother is also my brother, so why bother? There is no trouble. Children are like this, they have unyielding perseverance to study hard regardless of the season. So, on the road to study, regardless of whether you are rich or poor, you must be able to endure loneliness and hardship."

Mi Niang agreed with this statement. Although she and Fang Wei Yan came from different backgrounds, they were both extremely hardworking and able to endure hardships. This was also their similarity, so they got along very well.

"Let me ask you, if we have a son in the future, will you blame me if I am very strict with him?" In her previous life, when she gave birth to a prince, she did not spoil him but was very strict with him.

Fang Weiyan also recalled that in his previous life, Empress Dowager Ruan had a severe temper, so the emperor was always afraid of the empress dowager. Even at such an old age, he was still frightened when he heard that the empress dowager was coming, so the empress dowager ruled the country from behind the curtain for many years.

But I remembered that the son of Weijun whom I adopted in my previous life was disobedient because he was over-pampered.

He shuddered and immediately said, "The stricter you are, the better. It's better not to let my mother take care of the child. Elderly people like to show affection to grandparents, you know."

What is this called?

Mi Niang laughed and said, "No matter how much you like me, you can't exclude your mother. You are so stupid. If someone hears, what will they say?"

Then, Fang Weiyan asked Fang Yaqing how she was doing. Mi Niang nodded and said, "Your sister used to be lazy, but now she is smart. She came to learn painting from me and painted for several hours without saying a word. She is a cheerful and open-minded girl. I told her about Aunt Xu's behavior and she was very angry. I am also glad that she is not a fool."

If she were a fool, she would surely blame the person who stood up for her, and then both she and Fang Weiyan would end up losing more than they gained.

It was getting late, and when the two were preparing to rest, they saw Linglong, a maid from the second house, Yu, coming over. This maid was as her name suggested, she was very smart and appeared much more shrewd than Yu.

Mi Niang said to Fang Wei Yan, "Take the box in, I want to see what she wants."

Linglong came in soon and said, "Fourth Madam, our grandma caught a cold yesterday and didn't sleep all night. She didn't feel well this morning. We asked a doctor to come over. She took two pills, but she didn't get better. Grandma has always taken ginseng soup when she was sick since she was a child. Unfortunately, the few ginseng branches in our house were not well kept. I went to the upper room to ask the madam, and the madam said that she sent you a branch the other day and sent me to get it from you."

It turned out that they wanted ginseng. Mi Niang immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll have someone pack it and send it over. But I don't know if it's anything serious."

"It's not a big deal. This is a problem our grandmother has had since she was a child. Whenever she gets cold, she has to drink ginseng soup to keep it safe."

Chuntao quickly packed the ginseng, and Mi Niang said, "I'll go see my second sister-in-law tomorrow."

Linglong was Yu's maid who came with her as a dowry. She had her hair combed up. It was said that Yu was originally planning to marry the servant who came with her as a dowry, but because Linglong was pretty, she was taken in by the second master.

Almost all of Yu's maids who came with her as dowry were taken in by the Second Master, some died and some were killed, leaving only her.

"Thank you for your concern, Grandma Four. Our grandma always said that you were the closest to her."

"Is second brother not at home?" Mi Niang asked casually.

Linglong showed an embarrassed and resentful expression on her face, but she still forced a smile and said, "Second Master is busy."

"Okay, you can go back soon." Mi Niang didn't ask any more questions.

After Linglong left, Mi Niang went into the inner room and said to Fang Weiyan, "Your second brother is really something. It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, but he's not home yet. He wants to possess any of the pretty girls in the family, and he even talks about money and gold. He's greedy. I heard that he wants to donate money to get an official position, but he doesn't want to take it if it's a small position. He doesn't even think about it. If he uses his connections to get a real job, he'll have to pay 7,000 to 8,000 taels. So, that's 10,000 taels. Who has the spare money to give him?"

Yu's dowry totaled sixty-six pieces. Although she came from a wealthy family, she had many sisters, so naturally her dowry wouldn't be much, otherwise it would cause gossip.

If we give him 10,000 taels, then we also have to give 10,000 taels to other families. How could the Xu family afford this?

Anyone who has managed a household knows that the problem is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth.

Fang Weiyan lowered his eyes. This was probably why they wanted to kill his aunt.

Old Madam Weng had money but she didn't give it to the Fang family's descendants. Instead, she gave it to the young aunt, so they naturally had evil intentions.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone's clothes and heads are all brand new. Mi Niang wears a rose purple top with a thousand-petal chrysanthemum pattern, and a red skirt with bright red embroidery and small sunflower flowers and a gold belt. On her head, she wears a jade seven-gold hairpin with silver silk tassels, making her look like a fairy from heaven.

However, she had no time to admire herself now, but was busy doing Fang Yaqing's makeup.

"Your eyes are big, but they look a bit dull. So, you need to use eyebrow pencil to draw them. Also, you need to take care of your hair where it splits. Also, it's too tight here. You need to loosen it a little."

She skillfully fiddled with Fang Yaqing's hair, and dressed her up, even selecting her clothes carefully. After a while, she stood out, and even Fang Weiyan was surprised to see his own sister.

Fang Yaqing said shyly: "Sister-in-law, am I really that beautiful?"

Fang Yaqing is naturally good-looking, but she is not a great beauty. Today, after being dressed up by Mi Niang, she looks different.

Mi Niang nodded: "Of course, but you have to learn these techniques to make the best use of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. However, this is external. The most important thing is to be well-read and elegant. Even when you are alone, you will have plenty of entertainment and will not be lonely."

She and Fang Weiyan have a very good relationship as a couple, but she is still alone at home most of the time. If she doesn't have any hobbies of her own, she will easily become anxious and worried.

Even when everyone in this house gets together on weekdays, they just play mahjong or visit each other. At most, the women just chat with each other. People, if you talk too much, you will make mistakes. It is better to do more of your own things.

"Many ignorant people think that needlework is the most important thing and that studying and painting are not important. However, they do not know that if you cannot paint, how can you make good embroidery? Otherwise, most people's embroidery is just copying others'."

"If you don't read, how can you benefit from other people's wisdom? As the saying goes, understanding the world is knowledge, and understanding human nature is writing. The two are inseparable."

Fang Weiyan couldn't help but nod: "That's very well said."

However, Fang Yaqing was very curious: "Sister-in-law, why are you so good at dressing up?"

Actually, she is called sister-in-law, but Mi Niang is a few months younger than her.

Mi Niang smiled and said, "You haven't heard that Hunan women are affectionate and Chu women are good at dressing up. Besides, there's nothing wrong with us women dressing ourselves up beautifully."

That's true. My sister-in-law doesn't dress up much on ordinary days, but she always manages to dazzle everyone in big occasions.

Today, Weijun also returned home from the academy and met with brother Fang Weiyan. Naturally, they talked about the past. Soon, Fang Weiyan saw the girl following Fang Weijun and thought of the child left behind by his younger brother in his previous life.

At this time, Fang Weijun's eldest maid Bihong knew nothing about it. Because Fang Weijun had a somewhat violent temper, all the maids Xu gave him were gentle as water.

Especially Bihong, who was always serving Fang Weijun.

The female family members went to Songhe Hall together to pay their respects to Old Madam Weng. Xu stood in the middle, followed in order by the Crown Prince's wife Shen, the second wife Yu, the third wife Xiangjun, and then Mi Niang.

In fact, even if Shen Shi was not named the Crown Prince's wife, she would still be considered as such according to the order of seniority. After they finished their ceremony, Old Lady Weng smiled and said, "Get up quickly."

Both Shen and Yu brought their sons and daughters. Fortunately, Shen had two sons and one daughter, but Yu had a lot of legitimate sons, illegitimate sons, legitimate daughters and illegitimate daughters, which made people dizzy.

Old Madam Weng was even happier to see her grandchildren. At this moment, Aunt Fang Furong came over. Her face was as rosy as peach blossoms and her eyes were as clear as spring water. She looked very different from her previous state of being like a dead tree with green buds sprouting.

In the past, she would fly into a rage when she saw newlyweds being a little intimate, but now she is like she is soaking in a honey pot. Even a normal person would notice the difference, not to mention someone as shrewd as Mi Niang.

Everyone pretended to be confused. When Old Lady Weng saw Fang Furong, she was indifferent. She just let her sit below Xu and said nothing.

"Grandma, this year our mooncakes have an extra filling. Your daughter-in-law will cut some for you to taste."

"well."

Xu cut a little and gave it to Old Lady Weng to taste. After she ate it, she smiled and said, "This is rose halogen with sesame seeds. I used to eat it when I was a child, but later everyone said it was greasy. Now it's become popular again."

"After all, she is an old lady and knows a lot. We don't know those things." Mrs. Xu smiled.

Fang Furong also made a few rare jokes: "When I was a child, my mother taught us to make dumplings every Mid-Autumn Festival. The taste is still good when I think about it now."

"Thank goodness you still remember."

"How come you don't remember your mother's affairs?"

Mrs. Weng suddenly said something meaningful: "I hope you will always remember it."

Fang Furong's face suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

The young female members of the family, however, had no interest in these affairs. The lady was feeling embarrassed. She had been married for more than a year. As they had no children, both Madam Weng and her mother-in-law, Lady Xu, had given away a daughter. Not to mention that Fang Weiting was also a playboy. In the past, she had been a little cautious about him because of her status.

Now that he knew that she was just a not very favored lady, he became even more unscrupulous.

I heard that he has a girlfriend outside and often doesn't come home.

Among the daughters-in-law of the same generation, Shen is able to rest easy. The new daughter-in-law Ruan, who has just entered the mansion, is in harmony with her husband. When she first entered the house, she secretly vowed not to be like Yu, but now she is no different from Yu. The only slightly better thing is that Fang Weiting does not favor his concubine over his wife.

But Yu has sons and daughters, and she has nothing. If she cannot have children, will she be no match for Yu in the future?

While Mi Niang was paying attention to the movements of Old Lady Weng, she was also wondering why Fang Weiyan didn't let her go to the Nanping Marquis's Mansion. She couldn't figure it out, but at the same time she thought of her cousin. In her previous life, she didn't care much about how Ruan Siniang was doing.

In this life, she heard that Ruan Siniang's life after marrying He Tinglan was not very happy. It was said that He Tinglan was not a particular person and his backyard was full of all kinds of monsters and demons. Her life was worse than that of Wu Niang who married Zhang Jingzhi.

However, what she missed most were her parents and younger brothers. She used to feel that she was not adapting well after getting married, but now her relationship with Fang Weiyan was getting better and better, and she was actually gradually adapting.

Today's moon worship was very lively. Xu invited storytellers and children to perform acrobatics. Everyone was terrified, but couldn't help watching them. Mi Niang didn't want to think about anything else. Fang Yaqing and Ye Jiayin sat together, and Fang Yaqing whispered to Ye Jiayin: "Cousin Ye, congratulations."

In fact, Fang Yaqing also knew Ye Jiayin's difficulties. She had always liked her brother when she was a child. It was not because her brother was so good, but because her grandmother liked him and her brother was the best in the Fang family in terms of character and talent. But later, her mother chose her sister-in-law to marry in, and Ye Jiayin, who had been regarded as Yan Si's grandmother since she was a child, was very embarrassed.

Fortunately, in the end, her mother found a marriage for her.

Ye Jiayin whispered: "Thank you very much, and I wish you all the best in the future."

Fang Yaqing nodded in agreement.

Now no one in her family knows that she has been broken off from engagement, and they still think she will marry her cousin.

But she no longer had any resentment, especially when she thought of the way her sister-in-law talked about her aunt, she was afraid. Although she hated Jin Shuqin, her aunt's behavior of aborting her niece's baby for her own benefit was too chilling.

The only reason she could speak so recklessly was because the Jin family was in decline. What would they do if their Fang family also fell into decline one day?

Everyone has their own thoughts, including those in the palace.

Queen Ruan looked at Zhou Furou lovingly and said, "Perhaps life in the palace is too restrictive for you. Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your wish."

Zhou Furou felt that Queen Ruan was like a fairy from heaven. Liusu also looked at her with a smile: "You are so lucky, girl. Look how good the Queen is to you."

She was the youngest among the Empress' ladies-in-waiting and came from the common people, but she was sincere, which was rare among people, and everyone liked her very much.

Especially when Queen Ruan accompanied the Queen Mother to worship Buddha, everyone knew that the Prince of Jinxiang was interested in her and the two of them were in love with each other. The Queen seemed to have placed her hopes on her.

"Sister Liusu, I know that the Queen treats me well, and I also want the Queen to be well."

Liu Su pouted: "It's a pity that Dou Niang can't leave the palace. The Queen has chosen a man for her, but the Emperor doesn't agree."

This was also a regret for Queen Nguyen. Zheng Dou Niang was very loyal and did not want to marry the emperor at all. She wanted to leave the palace, but the emperor tried his best to stop her and not let her get married.

Speak of the devil, and here comes the devil. Zheng Dou Niang came over with a smile and said, "Your Highness, your carriage is waiting outside. We should go to Zhaoming Palace now."

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Queen should arrive first. Queen Ruan also stood up and let the palace maids help her over.

"The other day, the imperial concubine was reprimanded. It was all thanks to Dou Niang. Let's see if she dares to act rudely in front of our queen in the future." Liusu believed that Zheng Dou Niang was as loyal as she was, so she respected her very much.

Zheng Dou Niang smiled and said, "We can't be careless."

After saying that, she looked at Zhou Furou again. This Zhou Furou was really favored. Not long after, she was asked to serve in front of the empress and was also rewarded with many cakes. This girl was sweet-talker, and as soon as she entered the palace, the empress treated her like her own sister.

Liusu continued to introduce Zhou Furou: "Cui Guifei is the most favored concubine in the palace, followed by Li Zhaoyi."

Li Zhaoyi is Fan Yuzhen's title. It can be said that apart from Cui Guifei, Fan Yuzhen is the most favored. Unfortunately, Fan Yuzhen has a flat belly and no children. Instead, she does not pose a threat. She often has to take medicine to maintain her health. Cui Guifei is still polite to her.

"It seems that Ruan Mi Niang, who entered the palace with Li Zhao Yi before, also got married this year?" asked the Queen.

Liu Su replied: "She married the fourth son of the Marquis of Dong'an. She was engaged when she entered the palace."

Hearing Ruan Mi Niang's name, Zhou Furou said "Huh" for a moment, then patted her head and couldn't help laughing: "When I first came to Beijing, it seemed like she was getting married. The ceremony was so grand that it would not be an exaggeration to say that there were ten miles of red makeup."

Queen Ruan said gently to Zhou Furou: "Don't worry, you will be the same as her. I will make the decision for you."

At the palace banquet, Concubine Cui presented generous gifts to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the Empress. The Empress Dowager was only in her forties this year and looked very young. The Emperor looked like his mother and was handsome. He was sitting at the top at this moment, like the moon surrounded by stars.

Concubine Cui was playful in her words and generous in her gifts, and she gave birth to three sons, but even so, she still had to sit below Queen Ruan. She had long been fed up with this cowardly queen, but because of Zheng Dou Niang she could not succeed.

But the opportunity soon came.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I assist you in managing the six palaces. This autumn is a festive season, and I would like to inform you of a happy event regarding Li Zhaoyi."

Of course the emperor was good to Fan Yuzhen. Fan Yuzhen was a rare talented woman with a quick temper. She came from a prominent family and was truly beautiful, but she was also very well-educated.

Therefore, when Emperor Yonglong heard that it was about Li Zhaoyi's happy event, he hurriedly asked, "I wonder what the happy event is?"

Concubine Cui smiled and said, "Li Zhaoyi is pregnant."

She showed no jealousy at all, because she knew a secret: the wife of Duke Cheng'en secretly instructed to take the child away from the mother. Even if the mother was not taken away, Fan Yuzhen's child would definitely be given to the Empress.

This move is a bit risky, but after so many years, she is still good at killing people by borrowing a knife.

As expected, the emperor and the empress dowager were very happy. The empress dowager smiled and said, "It has been a long time since we heard a baby cry in the palace. Li Zhaoyi comes from a famous family, is well versed in etiquette, and is always with me. Emperor, you must not treat her badly."

Fan Yuzhen stroked her belly, quickly adjusted her expression, stood up and saluted, saying, "My pregnancy is unstable and my health has always been poor, so I wanted to stabilize the pregnancy before informing the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. I didn't expect that the Concubine knew it first."

She had finally gotten pregnant when Concubine Cui was losing power. This child might help her rise in status, and she would then be able to raise her own child.

I never thought that it would be suddenly exposed by Concubine Cui.

But she is no longer the Fan Yuzhen who had just entered the palace. She used to be afraid of Concubine Cui like a tiger, but now she feels that she has shown signs of losing favor.

Fan Yuzhen was hinting to everyone that she herself had kept it a secret, but Concubine Cui actually revealed it, and no one knew what her intention was.

The Empress Dowager had obviously heard the hidden meaning behind Fan Yuzhen's words.

She smiled and said to Emperor Yonglong: "Your Majesty, Li Zhaoyi has never been in good health. It is rare for her to be pregnant. Your Majesty must take good care of her."

Emperor Yonglong nodded with a smile and said, "Then let Li Zhaoyi live in Zhaoming Palace."

Fan Yuzhen had never expected that the emperor would grant her the Zhaoming Palace to live in. However, she had heard that Concubine Cui wanted to live there and had requested several times but was not granted permission. Fan Yuzhen quickly stood up to thank him.

Concubine Cui looked at her with a smile, her eyes almost poisonous.

Let you be proud of yourself for now.

Liusu and Zheng Dou Niang looked at each other, and Liusu whispered to Zheng Dou Niang, "Yesterday, Li Zhaoyi came over and complained that she was not feeling well. I didn't expect that she was pregnant."

"Keep your voice down and don't say anything. She is going to become your Majesty's favorite concubine. You know that the Empress has always been kind." Zheng Douniang narrowed her eyes at Fan Yuzhen.

By the end of the Mid-Autumn Festival at the Dong'an Marquis's Mansion, most people had left. Fang Furong left early, but Old Madam Weng was the last to stay. She looked at Xu and said, "You've worked hard."

Xu smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Grandfather? Since I married into your family, I have always been under your care. It is not hard work at all."

"Forget it. After traveling thousands of miles, the day will come when we have to dismantle this shed. I feel relieved to leave the house to you." Old Lady Weng said with a smile.

Shen Shi still insisted on staying here, Yu Shi went back first because her son was crying, Xiang Jun and Mi Niang did not hold on to the end and left first.

Somehow, Shen seemed to have a bad premonition.

She wondered why the old lady told Madam that she had handed everything over to her. Wasn't the old lady the best for her? Shen was more diligent in visiting the old lady than Xu.

"Grandma, let your daughter-in-law take you home." Xu thought to herself that the old lady knew how her daughter was doing, but she was powerless to do anything about it.

Mi Niang came back early. Fang Weiyan saw her yawning and rubbing her eyes, so he came over and asked, "What's wrong? Did your eyelashes fall into your eyes again?"

I don't know if it's because my eyelashes are too long and fall out easily, but they always fall into my eyes easily and I have to spend a long time looking for them every time.

Mi Niang nodded: "Yes, help me get my eyelashes out."

"Wait a minute, I'll wash my hands first, don't rub it randomly, it will turn red, which is not good."

Fang Weiyan asked someone to fetch some water and came in. He wiped his hands clean before carefully picking out her eyelashes with a cotton swab. Mi Niang heaved a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "I feel much more comfortable now."

Seeing her like this, Fang Weiyan couldn't help but ask, "Why did you come back so soon?"

"Alas, almost everyone has left. My aunt left first, followed by my cousin Ye and my younger sister. Later, my second and third sisters-in-law left. I saw that there were not many people left, so I left first too."

In small families, the relationships between sisters-in-law are easily bad, but in large families, each person basically has his or her own yard and lives quite far away. The mother-in-law is now in charge of the household, and receives a monthly salary, has their clothes made by the same person, and has no worries about food and drink, and there aren't any major conflicts of interest.

Fang Weiyan smiled and said, "It's good that you came back early. We can ask them to put the fruit tray in the yard and you can enjoy the moon by yourselves."

He was in a good mood. Mi Niang shook her head and said, "Leave me alone. I can't even open my mouth to yawn."

"Then let's open the window and look through the lattice."

Mi Niang smiled and said, "Okay."

The two of them sat together at the window, looking at the bright moon and sparse stars, a natural scene.

But Fang Weiyan said, "Today my aunt is going to take all the money and run away."

Mi Niang looked at him: "How come?"

Is Fang Furong so stupid? She is a single woman taking so much money out. Isn't she afraid that someone will take away her money and run away without caring about her? In this mansion, everyone treats her very well and she has a superior status.

"Well, so I want to coax you to sleep, and then go see, who knows that people who yawn can never fall asleep."

Mi Niang didn't expect him to say this. Now that he said this, she was no longer sleepy.

"I want to go see it, too."

"My dear, you can't ride a horse, so forget it. Besides, my wife is following this matter, so it doesn't matter if I know about it. If you go, it will attract attention."

Mi Niang said anxiously: "Then go and come back soon, and I will tell you what the situation is."

Fang Weiyan nodded vigorously.

In a corner of the temple, inside a room with an extremely voluptuous atmosphere, Fang Furong was lying on the ground with her delicate body spread out, with the sweat of a man dripping on her. The man had an oily hair and powdered face, and was very good at being humble and submissive. After the deed was over, he even wiped Fang Furong's body.

"From now on, we can fly far away and live the life we want." Fang Furong smiled foolishly.

She and Zou Pingzhi had never had a good relationship, and Zou Pingzhi was not in good health, leaving her alone in her prime years. She finally fell in love with a man, but her mother would not agree.

She always wanted to find a widower for her. Could it be that Fang Furong could only be a concubine?

Those people are already 45 years old, with big bellies, and their sons are so old. She is so rich, why does she still have to look at the mood of her daughter-in-law?

At this time, Shenlang appeared. Wang Anshen was handsome and considerate. He treated her with care and obeyed her in everything. She didn't even need to say what she wanted to say because Wang Anshen already knew it.

"Furong, let's go tonight. Let's take the small road." Wang Anshen hugged Fang Furong and couldn't help but felt moved.

Fang Furong said: "Yes, I know. We have also cleaned up all traces here and will not let anyone else know."

The two of them came again because of □□, but Wang Anshen said, "Let's go, let's go quickly."

Wang Anshen couldn't wait any longer. He didn't know how much money this woman had on her. He could give the big portion to others and take the small portion for himself. The small portion alone would be enough for him to live on for ten lifetimes. In the future, he could use the money to build bridges and roads, do some charity work, clear his reputation, and marry a new wife. Then who would know who he was?

It was rare that they stayed up so late, so the Marquis of Dong'an did not go to other concubines' rooms. When he came to Xu's room, he saw that Xu had dark circles under her eyes, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and get some rest."

"I can finally have a good sleep tomorrow." Xu said with a smile.

The ladies of noble families all liked this. After a busy banquet, they would get up very late the next day.

Dong'an Hou nodded: "Well, you can sleep more tomorrow. As for Yaqing's matter, I'm looking for her recently, don't worry."

Xu said gratefully, "How can I not feel at ease when you always take care of me?" Then she added, "Go to bed quickly. You are tired today."

The Marquis of Dong'an fell asleep quickly and soon began to snore loudly. However, Xu opened her eyes in the dark night.

She thought that Fang Furong would never have imagined that night that she would die at the hands of her beloved nephews, and those bastards would never have thought that she had already held evidence against them for what they had done.

After tonight, when everything is settled, everything in this mansion will belong to her and her son.

At this time, Fang Weijun was following the carriage of Wang Anshen and Fang Furong. The reason why he came here was very simple. He was just passing by. He must pass by here on his way to the academy. His mother had already found a reason for him to return to the academy overnight.

As a witness, he might have seen his second brother coming here to kill people and steal money.

In fact, he didn't understand why his mother wanted to give him this important task. His mother only said: "Your brother told me a long time ago that he didn't want to be a noble. He was already a Jinshi and wanted to join the civil service system in the future. But you are not good at studying. Do you want to be a commoner for the rest of your life? This mansion should be inherited by you. Now they have made a mistake. They want to kill people for money. What does it have to do with us? They are greedy."

Although Fang Weijun disliked Fang Furong and did not want to see Fang Weichang, the eldest son of a concubine, obtain the title, he still felt a little bit reluctant when he thought that Fang Furong might be pushed off the cliff.

People are all made of flesh and blood, and he couldn't bear to watch others die.

Wang Anshen brought Fang Furong out of the temple. Behind them were several large boxes of treasures. Fang Furong had a thick stack of banknotes on her body. This money was enough for them to go south.

However, she never expected that she would be stopped by a group of masked bandits on the road, and Fang Furong was shocked.

Wang Anshen knew very well that it was the people sent by Mr. Fang Weishi, the Second Master Fang, who came here. He was the only one who knew all those people. Wang Anshen tried his best to push Fang Furong out of the car, but Fang Furong looked at him in shock.

Wang Anshen was too lazy to pretend: "They want your life."

"You...you are in cahoots with them." Fang Furong pointed at him and the robbers.

Wang Anshen said with a smile: "Then you should ask your good nephews Fang Weichang and Fang Weishi. Pah, what noble sons of noble families, they are just a bunch of greedy people."

Fang Furong was pushed out of the car by him. Those masked men obviously didn't want her to live, so they just killed her and dumped her body in the wilderness. Anyway, the woman had money on her, so no one would be at a loss.

Fang Furong was terrified. She might lose her life here...

At the critical moment, a group of soldiers with torches came over. Fang Weiyan was riding a horse behind them. The robbers were scared and wanted to run away, but Fang Weiyan said, "Don't let them run away. Catch them one by one."

Fang Furong ran over and said to Fang Weiyan, "Weiyan, it was Fang Weichang and Fang Weishi, those two little bastards, who hired someone to harm me. Hurry up and avenge me."

"Okay, I'll avenge you, aunt." Fang Weiyan smiled warmly.

In his previous life, Fang Weijun witnessed Fang Furong's death with his own eyes, so he was still disturbed even after he sued Fang Weichang. Fang Weichang and his people's revenge made him even more disturbed, and he later died tragically.

In this life, Fang Weiyan let Fang Furong, the victim, personally sue the prince. This can not only save Xia Weijun, but also bring down Fang Weichang and his brothers. This is truly killing two birds with one stone.

As for Fang Furong, she won't have an easy time either.

But at this moment, he smiled like a Bodhisattva, like a savior.
