"There's no one here!" Fang Zhili widened his eyes, trying to bluff his way out.
Fang Shengtang raised his hand.
Fang Zhili instinctively covered his head and hid.
"Tell me the truth, and I won't hit you."
"There's nobody here!"
Fang Zhili was heartbroken.
In public, his sisters act like goddesses, but in front of him, they all turn into tigresses.
"Will you talk or not? If you don't, I'll have someone bring your third sister back right now."
"No, no, no, I'll talk, I'll talk!" Fang Zhili was scared.
The older sister hit him, mainly to scare him each time.
Raise it high, then lower it gently.
But the third sister was different; she was truly ruthless, the kind who would chase him around with a rattan cane and whip him.
"It's just... it's just a classmate! I felt sorry for him, so I wanted to help him."
"Heh..." Fang Shengtang let out a cold laugh.
Fang Zhili immediately explained, "Really, it's not what he wanted. He and I are the closest. He just envies me for having such a good memory, while he can't remember anything even after reading it many times. I heard him mutter a few words and took it to heart, wanting to help him."
Fang Shengtang's face darkened.
Are you stupid?
"Really, he didn't ask me for it. He just said disappointedly after failing the exam last time that if he had a good memory like mine, he would definitely have a better chance of getting into high school."
Fang Zhili was still explaining.
Everyone in the room fell silent, looking at him with meaningful expressions.
After all, Fang Zhili had mentioned this good friend many times before. He was always among the top students in the academy and was a student whom the teacher favored and focused on cultivating.
Fang Zhili took a step back in a bit of panic.
What are you doing?
Fang Shengtang sneered, "This family only needs Xiao Liu. You don't need to be like her."
Fang Ruotang tilted her head. "Big sister, what you said doesn't sound like a nice thing to me?"
"Don't overthink it. How could your older sister say anything bad about you?"
"Oh, that's true!"
Fang Ruotang was completely fooled.
Fang Zhili understood what he meant, and his face turned pale and then flushed.
He stubbornly pursed his lips, and after a moment of hesitation, he explained, "We've always had a good relationship; it's not like we suddenly became close in the last few months."
Since Sixth Sister became famous, wave after wave of people have come under the guise of befriending her, hoping to curry favor with her or gain some benefits through her.
No matter how deeply these people hid their thoughts, he was never fooled.
But he didn't believe that even his best friend was like that.
"Has anyone ever said something similar to you?" Fang Shengtang suddenly asked Fang Zhixing.
He gave Fang Zhili a complicated look and nodded.
He also felt somewhat ashamed, as he hadn't known that his seventh brother had been tricked away while they were both at the academy.
"How did you do it?"
"……keep away."
Fang Zhixing was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Fang Zhili.
Fang Zhili said loudly, "Fifth Brother! This is different. This is A-Yu, my best friend A-Yu. You know him. We've known each other since we entered the academy and have always lived together."
Fang Zhili and Fang Zhixing are at different academic progress.
Even brothers wouldn't be in the same class or dormitory at the academy.
“Some of my roommates have also hinted at it to me.”
Fang Zhixing's implication was that he had known his friends for a longer time than Fang Zhili's friends.
“Ayu is different,” Fang Zhili retorted, sticking out his neck.
Fang Ruotang looked around and finally understood what they were arguing about.
She spoke weakly, "It's just a pill. If Xiao Qi wants to give it to his friend, he can! It's not like I don't have any, and it's not something valuable."
She didn't follow any set pattern when giving out pills; she just gave them to whoever she liked.
Her things are hers to decide.
If you don't give it to someone who can please her, are you going to give it to someone she hates?
"Shut up!" Fang Shengtang snapped.
Fang Ruotang immediately shrank back, took a step back, and gave Fang Zhili a helpless look.
[It's not that Sixth Sister doesn't want to help you, it's just that Eldest Sister is too ruthless. Hang in there, I'll secretly give you the medicine tonight.]
Fang Ruotang was thinking to herself, unaware that her family could hear her thoughts.
It's unclear why Fang Zhili, who was just feeling resentful because his family suspected his friend, suddenly calmed down.
"Don't even mention one pill, even if it's ten or a hundred, as long as you want it, your sixth sister will definitely give it to you," Fang Shengtang said, emphasizing her words.
Fang Ruotang awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth and silently looked up.
Ah, the carvings on the roof beams are so beautiful!
"It's not that I forbid you from helping your friends, but the premise is that the friend is sincere to you and there is no exploitation involved. If he is seriously ill and not long for life, or if his family is in trouble and he comes to you for help, I will not say anything if you want to help him. But now, taking advantage of our two years of friendship, he is bullying you because you are young and using this as a pretext to ask you for pills. What kind of behavior is that?"
When Fang Shengtang was teaching his younger brother, no one else in the family interrupted; instead, they all watched with great interest.
It's like watching a famous actor perform a grand opera.
"When you ask for a favor, you should act like one. Judging from your expression, you genuinely consider him a good friend. If he had just come to you directly asking for it, you would have asked your sixth sister for it too. But what did he do? He acted like a prostitute trying to maintain a virtuous image. What? You have to beg him to take such a good elixir?"
Fang Zhili was suddenly taken aback.
The elders in the family spoke in unison.
"Fang Shengtang!"
Madam Cui looked doubtful. As a noblewoman of the Cui family, she had never taught her daughter to be two-faced.
