Chapter 491 Madam Fang's Test
The assassin was a man of principle. He had just lost his brother and was now being insulted. He immediately took out the silver that Young Master Tang had given them and said, "Young Master Tang, you should ask someone more capable."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Young Master Tang chased after him, asking, "Are you really not going to take this money?"
The assassin stopped and turned around, saying, "Young Master Tang, compared to money, I still think life is more important. I advise you to think twice before you take action against the Zhou family."
Young Master Tang was furious. He put away the silver on the table and said sternly, "Fine, if you won't do it, someone else will."
After saying that, he angrily told the assassin to get lost.
This assassin was a shrewd man. If the Zhou family were really so easy to deal with, there would be no need for him, the eldest son of the Tang family, to be targeted.
There's also Zhou Ruiyuan's background.
It gave him a sense of foreboding, especially when he saw his brother's corpse. He thought of a saying: the more you know, the faster you die.
Now that the Zhou family knows that assassins are trying to kill them, they certainly won't sit idly by and wait to die in order to avoid the emperor's eyes and ears.
He had a wife and children to support, and it wasn't worth losing his life for someone like Young Master Tang. So he left Cheng'an County without knowing anything else.
Young Master Tang had plenty of silver, and before long, he found several more assassins.
This time, he had confirmed Zhou Ruiyuan's background, so he did not tell the assassins this secret. He only instructed them to take the heads of all the male members of the Zhou family within three days.
The assassins readily agreed, drawn by the promise of silver.
After the assassins left, Young Master Tang began to look forward to his sister giving birth to a prince soon, so that he could become the emperor's brother-in-law.
The next day, Young Master Tang pretended to feed Miss Fang's medicine, acting like a lovesick fool, either wiping away tears or choking back sobs as he spoke sweet nothings.
After the bowl of medicine was finished, guests arrived at the Fang residence.
A maid entered the room and called out, "Young master, we have a guest at the manor. She says she is a cousin."
"A cousin?" Young Master Tang's expression changed drastically, and he quickly stood up, saying, "What cousin?"
The maidservant lowered her head and replied, "They said they came from the capital and are the daughter of the young master and his aunt."
Young Master Tang's expression was solemn. "Go and tell Miss Biao to wait for me outside the mansion."
The maid replied, "Young master, Miss Cousin has already entered the manor, and the master is currently entertaining her."
Young Master Tang immediately became anxious, stopped talking to the maid, and rushed to the front yard.
At this moment, Fang Xiaoyue, who was lying on the bed in a daze, also realized that something was wrong. She quickly sent her trusted maid to the front yard to see what was going on.
The maid responded softly and secretly followed behind Young Master Tang.
When Young Master Tang arrived at the front yard, Miss Biao was chatting and laughing with Master Fang.
When Master Fang saw Young Master Tang arrive, he waved and said, "Your cousin is here. She said your mother is worried about Xiaoyue's illness, so she sent her to take a look."
Young Master Tang's face turned ashen. He slowly walked over and complained to Miss Biao, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
Miss Cousin raised her eyes and gave a meaningful smile, "I was worried that my cousin would be too busy taking care of his wife, so I came to your residence first."
At this point, Mr. Fang had not yet realized the problem and simply assumed that they were siblings with a good relationship.
"Miss, you must be tired from your journey. I'll have someone arrange a room for you right away."
Miss Biao smiled and bowed to Mr. Fang to express her gratitude.
Young Master Tang watched her every move with trepidation, fearing she might give herself away.
Mr. Fang was a formidable figure in the past, and although he is now old, he is not someone who is easily fooled.
He doesn't dare to look at his cousin even once now.
Miss Biao finally breathed a sigh of relief after she went to the guest room with the servants.
Master Fang thanked him, saying, "I am very grateful that your mother remembers Xiaoyue. I will have a servant prepare a gift for your mother later."
Young Master Tang was flattered and quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Grandfather."
Old Master Fang slowly turned around and sat down in the armchair, bending over. He said meaningfully, "I only have one granddaughter. As long as your Tang family treats her well, our Fang family will naturally treat your Tang family well in return."
"Otherwise, you know the consequences."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Tang was startled and quickly bowed, saying, "Yes, Grandfather, your son-in-law understands."
With his eyes slightly closed, Mr. Fang said slowly, "You continue to take care of Xiaoyue. Your grandmother is taking care of Miss Biao."
"Yes, Grandfather." Young Master Tang bowed and carefully withdrew.
After Miss Biao was led into the guest room.
Then Madam Fang arrived. Although she hadn't shown her face for the past few days, she was fully aware of her granddaughter's condition.
In particular, after hearing what Dr. Xu said, she specifically sent someone to investigate people with the same symptoms as Fang Xiaoyue.
There is always one answer: after a person dies from this disease, their husband will remarry.
Women and men naturally have different perspectives on things.
Madam Fang instinctively became suspicious of this cousin who had suddenly arrived.
"Miss, thank you for making this special trip." She said with a smile as she looked the woman in front of her up and down.
Miss Cousin isn't particularly beautiful, but she has a curvaceous figure that's much better than her granddaughter's.
Mrs. Fang's heart sank as she looked at her, and she became increasingly suspicious of her.
Miss Cousin smiled and said, "Madam, it's no trouble at all. My cousin-in-law has something to attend to, so it's only right that I come and check on her."
Madam Fang smiled slowly, her gaze remaining calm as she continued to secretly observe her.
After chatting for a while, Madam Fang asked her, "Is Miss Fang married?"
Miss Biao paused for a moment, then replied, "In response to Madam, I am not married at home."
Madam Fang's eyes flickered, and she smiled, "Miss Cousin is outstanding in appearance and talent, why is she still unmarried?"
