Since we can't avoid it, let's face it head-on.
Since we can't preserve it, we might as well destroy it.
Fang Heng's agreement was met with great joy by the maid, who hurriedly scrambled to her feet and led the way. "Young master, come with me. The young lady will tell you everything. She won't harm you, young master, please rest assured."
Whether it causes harm or not is no longer important.
Fang Heng followed with his hands behind his back and a blank expression.
As they turned the corner, they encountered the imposing Prefect He and his entourage. When Prefect He saw the maid of the Wang family leading the way for him, he was taken aback and then gave Fang Heng a deep look.
Even after they had gone far away, Prefect He still did not move.
The advisor couldn't help but ask, "Sir, aren't you going to the Flower-Piercing Courtyard? You should at least kick a table, otherwise how are you going to explain this to the Fang family?"
He Chengzhang put his hands behind his back and sighed, "No need to explain anymore. The Fang family must have more than one backup plan."
Perhaps they sensed the prefect's perfunctory attitude, or perhaps they didn't want to put all their eggs in one basket.
In short, the Fang family changed their approach.
At the entrance of the courtyard with flowers in hand.
Jiang Sheng was also worried, "If we follow the brothers' analysis, that sister is like a weasel paying respects to a chicken. If Third Brother goes there, won't he be walking into a trap? That won't do. Eldest Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, you have to help Third Brother."
Xu Mo patted her little bun head reassuringly, "Don't be afraid, Jiang Si has already gone to find someone."
Apart from Jiang San, who went back to Xieyang County to visit his family, the other seven servants were all safe and sound.
Wen Zhiyun took out bottles and jars from his pocket. "I have given Jiang Yi several commonly used medicines to ensure that Third Brother will return healthy."
Changyan turned and got into the carriage. "Go to the Wang family. I want to see Brother Fufeng."
As the head of the Wang family, Wang Fufeng had long noticed the unusual behavior of the eldest branch of the family these past few days.
The reason for holding back is simply to avoid alerting the enemy.
When he learned that Wang Yuyao had taken the initiative to approach Fang Heng and said she wanted to help him, he couldn't help but smile.
“My cousin, sometimes you think she’s shrewd, but she’ll show you how stupid she can be. Conversely, if you think she’s stupid, she might actually be a bit shrewd.” Wang Fufeng propped himself up with one hand, leaning back in the head of the family’s chair. “But she’s overlooked one thing.”
The six siblings living in the small courtyard with the hairpin flower were people whom the entire Wang family had never been able to defeat.
What makes Wang Yuyao think she can do it all by herself?
Outside Anshui County.
Fang Heng followed the little maid all the way to the west of the city.
There is a small hill right next to the city gate, with a small cliff on it. Because it is not very high, falling off would at most result in a sprain, but there would be no danger to life.
Fang Heng never expected that Wang Yuyao would meet him in such a place, and he subconsciously frowned.
Upon seeing the pale yellow figure standing on the outside of the cliff, facing the wind as if about to drift away at any moment, their confusion deepened.
"Brother Heng."
Wang Yuyao sighed deeply, as if she had expressed all the bitterness of her life. "You've finally come. I've waited for you for so long. Do you know that the Fang family forced me to harm you? They wanted me to lure you out and then kill you silently."
"But I can't. For so many years, seeing Mother so ruthlessly try to kill you has kept my heart in my throat. Seeing you escape and still manage to fight back, I breathed a sigh of relief for you. To be honest, I'm really not a filial person, but I only want you to be well, Heng-gege. I hope you can live a good life..."
These words, spoken with genuine emotion, revealed the truest feelings of a young girl, and were the words she had kept hidden for three whole years.
“If I could, I really wish my aunt and uncle hadn’t had that accident, I wish my father hadn’t passed away, and I wish everything could be as beautiful as before.” Wang Yuyao’s voice was broken. “But the most powerless thing in the world is ‘if’.”
"You and I both know we can't go back. Did Brother Heng come here because he knew Yu Yao was going to deal with him?" She raised her head, tears welling in her eyes. "If you know that, why did you still come? Is it because you still care about your Yu Yao sister?"
Fang Heng pursed his lips.
He hasn't spoken a word since he arrived; it's all Wang Yuyao's monologue.
Even now, despite Wang Yuyao's earnest question, he still hasn't spoken.
"Hahaha." Wang Yuyao suddenly laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.
The servants hiding in the shadows, Xu Mo, Chang Yan, Wen Zhiyun, and Jiang Sheng sitting on Jiang Si's shoulders were all on tenterhooks, fearing that a group of villains would suddenly appear or that they would be poisoned.
"Fine, if you won't talk, then so be it. I'm the one begging you for help anyway." Wang Yuyao straightened her appearance and suddenly knelt down in front of Fang Heng. "Brother Heng, Yuyao begs you... please disappear, please die, okay?"
The faces of everyone in the shadows changed.
Fang Heng stared at her blankly, then finally opened his mouth, "You're asking me for this?"
"Yes, please disappear, disappear from this world." Wang Yuyao's eyes changed drastically, from weak to cold. "Do you know how many people have paid the price for you? Do you know that the Fang family will not let this go until you die? Now you are just the governor of Anshui County, but in the future there will be more people, more officials, who will travel thousands of miles to Anshui County just to deal with you."
"Your entire life, your money, along with your brothers and that sister you cherish, will all be lost."
"But what if you leave? What if you die? What if you disappear? The world will be at peace, everything will be safe, and everyone will return to their original lives. They will live happily and joyfully, without having to live in fear or worry about each day that comes next."
"It's all your fault, Fang Heng. It's all your fault. You brought this disaster. If you were smarter, why didn't you die sooner? Disappear from this world and never come back, the sooner the better."
Wang Yuyao's voice grew louder and louder, and Fang Heng's face grew paler and paler.
The once steady boy paused slightly and took a half step back.
"Damn it." Xu Mo, who was hiding in the shadows, reacted the fastest and immediately stepped forward, ordering his servants, "Gag this woman and throw her off the cliff."
But it was too late.
Of all schemes, winning hearts and minds is the best strategy.
The people of Zanhua Courtyard took precautions against all possible harm. Even Wang Fufeng sent more than a dozen servants to surround the area to prevent robbery and beatings.
Unexpectedly, the Fang family switched to a softer approach.
Moreover, the stabbing was done by her once closest cousin, which can only be described as ruthless.
Even though Fang Heng had honed his willpower through wandering, and even though he thought he was as strong as iron, at this moment, as he took a step back, his heart, which was originally as hard as a rock, still collapsed.
