Chapter 16: The Angry Old Woman
Fu Danjun took Lan Fang's hand and said, "Let's go."
The ruffians were all interested in Lanxiang, and Fu Danjun was already gone.
"She pushed you, but you were the one who bumped into me, too. Come with me, girl!"
The ruffian tried to drag Lanxiang but was stopped by the maid.
As a result, the maid was knocked down by a slap, but then the rogue was punched on the head.
Lanxiang took a closer look and shouted joyfully, "My Lord!"

Fu Danjun bought some cured pork trotters and said he would make soup at home. Lan Fang said happily, "Miss, you know I like this soup, so you made it."
Fu Danjun refused to admit it: "It's obviously me who likes it."
On the way home, Lan Fang said that she came out to look for Xie Changsheng.
Fu Danjun complained, "How could we meet on the street? If I hadn't shown up in time, you would have been bullied by Lanxiang. Don't run around alone next time."
Lan Fang felt a little guilty because she failed to get things done and caused trouble for the young lady.
As a result, when the two got off the car at the door of their house, Lu Yu brought Lanxiang with him.
Lanxiang was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and she timidly snuggled up to Lu Yu.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Fu Danjun laughed angrily: "Is my home a vegetable market? Come whenever you want."
Lu Yu was filled with indignation: "How can I tolerate you bullying my concubine?"
Fu Danjun burst out laughing and said, "I have tolerated her many times. I hit her today. What can you do?"
Lu Yu was about to attack, but Lan Xiang hugged his arms and cried, "My Lord, please don't get angry on my behalf. Besides, the one who bullied me was mainly Lan Fang. I will only settle accounts with Lan Fang."
When Fu Danjun heard that she was coming for Lan Fang, she handed her a bag of cured pork trotters and said, "Go to the kitchen and make some soup. Don't come out until I tell you to."
Lan Fang was not willing to listen: "Miss, let me deal with this bitch. I'm dirtying your eyes."
This sentence made Lanxiang burst into tears. Lu Yu was furious: "Like master, like servant! Each one is more cunning and outrageous than the other!"
After saying that, he pulled Lanxiang and forced his way into the house.
He even threatened: "If you don't give us a proper apology today, I won't leave."
Lan Fang was so angry that her heart ached, but Fu Danjun pulled her towards the kitchen: "Ignore them and just make the soup."
Lu Yu knew that he could not win the argument with Fu Danjun, and he couldn't get over it.
Therefore, he urged Lanxiang to go to the battlefield: "You are my beloved concubine, and you have my support. What are you afraid of? Just go ahead and make trouble!"
Lanxiang finally understood Lu Yu's intention, which was to let her make a fuss instead of crying.
"My Lord, please sit down. I'm going to settle accounts with Lan Fang!"
She returned to her original nature of loving her dog and relying on others for power, and rushed to the kitchen to scold Lan Fang.
"You little bitch! You got into trouble and you still want to hide so I can't tear your mouth apart!"
While he was speaking, he had already rolled up his sleeves and rushed over.
Fu Danjun went to the garden toilet to relieve himself, and only Lan Fang was in the kitchen.
Seeing Lanxiang rushing over, he scooped up the hot water from the pot and poured it on her: "Scald you to death, you bitch!"
Lanxiang was splashed with hot water on her head and face, and screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
Fu Danjun thought it was Lan Fang calling him, so he ran back in two steps.
Lu Yu had already grabbed Lan Fang and slapped her twice. Lan Fang couldn't bear it anymore and fell backwards, hitting her head against the wall and passed out.
"Lan Fang!"
Fu Danjun ran in and was shocked when he saw this. He hurriedly called out, "Guardians! Get these two people out of here!"
At a command, the guards came with their men.
Lu Yu knew that he could not win, but he had to protect Lanxiang, so he ran away without fighting.
Although Lan Fang was unconscious during the fight during the day, it was only a minor injury. She was fine after the doctor came to treat her.
But when she woke up and saw Fu Danjun's red and swollen eyes, she knew that the young lady had cried.
"I'm fine, the most important thing is to think about how we can ensure our safety."
Lan Fang was extremely worried: "Even if the Marquis doesn't attack at night, but just comes to cause trouble in broad daylight, we won't be able to live like this."
Fu Danjun sighed: "Don't worry, take care of your injuries first. When you're better, we'll go to the Marquis' Mansion and make trouble. It's a tit-for-tat fight."
Lan Fang was amused: "You know what, this is a method."
Fu Danjun smiled bitterly: "Lanxiang will not give up after being treated like that. Instead of them coming, why don't we go."
On the other side, Lu Yu took Lanxiang back to the inn.
He didn't want to go back to the Marquis' Mansion and didn't know what to say.
My mother and sister both hope that Fu Danjun will die, because if I fail to complete the task, I will only be scolded when I return.
Lanxiang's face and neck were scalded by boiling water, and many blisters appeared.
Lu Yu was a person with trypophobia. He felt sick when he saw Lanxiang's face, so he had to ask someone to send her back home for treatment.
Lanxiang saw that the Marquis disliked her, and she hated Lan Fang and Fu Danjun even more.
I swore in my heart that this matter was not over and I would take revenge after I recovered my dignity.
When the people in the Marquis' Mansion saw Lanxiang like this, they naturally asked the reason.
Lanxiang told everyone what happened, and everyone was shocked.
Pei felt sorry for Lanxiang and shed tears: "My poor sister, such a pretty face was burned. How could they do that?"
Seeing Pei's expression, Lanxiang was deeply moved. "Thank you for your concern, Madam. The doctor said it's nothing serious. If you apply the medicine carefully, it will be back to normal."
Pei Xi felt amused and thought that this slave girl was really interesting. She was looking at herself and seemed to really care about her.
When the old lady of the Marquisate asked why Lu Yu hadn't returned, Lanxiang lied: "The Fu family said that they would come to seek revenge on the Marquis, so the Marquis stayed away to avoid bringing trouble to the people in the mansion."
Everyone believed it when they heard it. The old lady said angrily: "How can this be tolerated? Are we afraid of her?"
Two days later, Fu Danjun brought Lan Fang to the house as expected.
She was dressed in mourning clothes and a hat, just as if her mother-in-law had died. Lan Fang was also wearing mourning clothes, the way a maidservant should wear.
Everyone could see that this was a deliberate act of seeking misfortune, and Old Madam Hou was so angry that she was shaking all over.
"Fu Danjun, you're the daughter of a wealthy family, but how could you curse your mother-in-law to death? Are you just worried about me dying?"
Madam Hou had never been so angry before. She was so exhausted that she had to rely on her maid to support her.
Fu Danjun held her long black hair on her shoulders, and her eyes looked even clearer and brighter under the white mourning hat.
"You said I cursed you, but you misunderstood. What relationship do I have with you now?" Madam Hou pointed at her nose and trembled angrily: "Then what do you mean by entering the house in mourning clothes?"
Fu Danjun blinked and smiled: "I heard that Lu Yuan's baby is gone, so I'm wearing mourning for the baby. The Marquis keeps saying that I killed the Prime Minister's grandson. Since I killed him, I should wear mourning."
Madam Hou was already furious before she even finished listening: "Yuan'er's stomachache is gone, and you're cursing again! Cursing again!"
Seeing that the old lady was about to die of anger, Pei winked at Cangbai and asked her to call for help.
As a result, Lu Zhao and his wife Yuan came running over.
"Is this woman crazy?"
Lu Zhao was so angry that he came over to hit Fu Danjun.
Lan Fang shouted anxiously: "Aren't you afraid of being beheaded, Second Young Master?"
