Chapter 48: Tea should be 80% hot
When Lan Fang arrived, she was already ready to leave the palace.
The nanny led her outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where a sedan chair was waiting.
Then Wanyan Qi suddenly appeared and said, "Miss asked me to wait for you."
Fu Danjun asked in surprise: "Have you been waiting for me?"
Wanyan Qi laughed and said, "I just heard this morning that the young lady had not left the palace, but I couldn't sleep at night thinking about her."
Fu Danjun covered his mouth and laughed: "Do people from your place always speak so bluntly?"
Wanyan Qi continued to smile and said, "My lady is leaving the palace now, and I just happened to see her off."
Fu Danjun didn't want him to send it. If Xie Changsheng knew about it, wouldn't he pick a fight with him?
"Go back and rest quickly. There's no need to send me off."
However, Wanyan Qi didn't listen at all. After Fu Danjun got into the sedan chair, he followed behind.
When Xie Changsheng heard the news, he dropped the tea in his hand to the ground with a strange feeling: "The tea I drink is eight points hot, and this is already six points!"
Chang Le quickly knelt down and apologized, knowing that there was nothing wrong with the tea.
"I deserve to die. I slap myself in the face."
The carriage had already entered the alley when Fu Danjun called a halt: "Wanyan Jun, please return. According to the customs of the Dagan people, a man cannot enter a woman's home before marriage. Not only will outsiders gossip about him, but it's also unlucky."
Wanyan Qi had no choice but to return the whip to the coachman, jumped off the carriage and watched it leave.
Lan Fang patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh my God, I finally got rid of him."
Then he asked, "Miss, are you really going to marry in Northern Xinjiang?"
Fu Danjun burst out laughing: "How is that possible? I'll just try to escape when the time comes."
Lan Fang nodded, then frowned and said, "What is the emperor thinking? If he wants to please Beijiang, can't he find another woman? Why is he targeting us?"
Fu Danjun couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your heart is as deep as the sea. We don't need to waste time guessing. We should just act according to the circumstances."
When the carriage arrived at the door, the nanny came out anxiously: "Miss, you are back. Madam Li just arrived."
Upon hearing this, Fu Danjun hurried in.
It turned out that Tang Caidie came in person to deliver the money, and the servant said that Fu Danjun was not at home and asked her to wait.
She suddenly wanted to meet Yuan while Fu Danjun was away.
But before she could open her mouth, Fu Danjun had already returned.
"Mrs. Li, have you been waiting for a long time? I went out to do something."
Tang Caidie didn't care where she was going. She smiled and said, "I'm a man of my word. I brought 10,000 taels of silver."
After saying this, he asked the maid to take it out and put it on the table.
Fu Danjun took it and handed it to Lan Fang: "Put it away carefully."
Lan Fang saw the hint in the lady's eyes and knew that she wanted her to quickly determine whether it was real or not.
Tang Caidie smiled and said, "Don't rush to take it away, I have something else to say."
After listening to this, Lan Fang looked at Fu Danjun and put the banknotes back on the table.
Tang Caidie smiled meaningfully: "I gave you a banknote, and you have to sign it to avoid trouble in the future."
Fu Danjun smiled suddenly and said, "Madam, you are very thoughtful. I will just sign and seal it."
After saying that, he asked Lan Fang to prepare ink, brushes, and other items.
Tang Caidie said, "Since the money is for Yuan, Yuan must also sign and seal it. Miss Fu is a trustworthy person, but Yuan may not be."
Seeing her attitude, Fu Danjun knew that she would not give up until she met Yuan.
"Lan Fang, go and ask Sister Yuan to come over."
Yuan was just told that Tang Caidie had arrived and wanted to see her?
"Great! I'll just meet her!"
Seeing that Yuan was gritting her teeth as if she was seeking revenge, Lan Fang quickly tried to persuade her: "Tang is here to give you some money. Madam, please accept the money first."
Yuan agreed and put on the brocade clothes given by Fu Danjun and put on the hairpins and rings.
Now she is in good health and her complexion is fair and rosy.
Then after dressing up, she looked like a complete lady.
Lan Fang was amazed and said with a smile: "Madam is really elegant."
Jin Zhao ran over and said, "Mom, I'm going too."
Yuan said hurriedly: "Children should not act recklessly."
Tang Caidie had never seen what Yuan Shi looked like, so she was stunned when she saw her. "Oh, our Lord Li really has good taste. She's such a beauty! How come I heard you were dying of illness?"
Fu Danjun couldn't help but feel nervous, fearing that his previous lie would be exposed.
Yuan quickly covered her mouth with her handkerchief and coughed twice: "I am dying of illness. Madam, do you think I don't look like a patient?"
Tang Caidie frowned when she heard her coughing: "Oh, you have tuberculosis, please don't infect me!"
Fu Danjun took the opportunity to say, "Sister Yuan and I will sign the agreement right away, and tell her to leave as soon as we're done."
How could Tang Caidie let Yuan go? Finally, she caught an opportunity and said, "Then please kneel down quickly, Yuan, and kowtow to me three times."
This statement stunned everyone present, and Fu Danjun was particularly angry: "Madam Li, what are you doing? You promised to pay me before, and there was no question of whether I should kneel or not. Why are you suddenly bringing this up now?"
Yuan also angrily retorted: "Don't even think of asking me to bow down to you, even if you offer me another 100,000 taels of silver and your life!"
Tang Caidie couldn't help but cover her mouth with her handkerchief and giggled: "Don't you think about it, why should I give you ten thousand taels of silver for free?"
Yuan waved her hand and said, "Go away! I don't want the money anymore!"
Tang Caidie didn't leave either, curling her lips and sneering: "Are you planning to take the silver, dress up fancy, and then go back to my master to relive the old days?"
Fu Danjun was very unhappy when she saw Tang's cheating: "Madam Li, today we are mainly discussing money."
Tang Caidie couldn't help but slam the table in anger: "I didn't say I wouldn't give you the money? Why are you so anxious?"
The atmosphere became extremely awkward for a moment, and Yuan suddenly hesitated.
She was afraid that Tang would transfer her anger to Fu Danjun, so she might as well kneel down and kowtow as soon as possible.
Tang Caidie began to insult Yuan: "Do you think my master doesn't know you're dying of illness? He even claimed to be an orphan to gain sympathy for his career. Even if he liked a woman like you with no family background, he wouldn't accept her, so stop dreaming."
Yuan smiled bitterly: "How could I be dreaming? I have long seen through Li Xiuyuan's character. Even if she came to pick me up in a sedan chair, I would not pay any attention to her."
Tang Caidie sneered: "I wish you really had this kind of courage, but you're not just acting, are you?"
Just as she finished speaking, Jin Zhao rushed in and pointed at Tang Caidie's nose: "Stinky woman, shameless stinky woman!"
Tang Caidie was shocked, and Fu Danjun pretended to be stern: "Don't be unreasonable, this is the Shangshu's wife."
In fact, Fu Danjun was reminding her children that she was an official’s wife.
No matter how tough she and Yuan were, they couldn't resist the official's wife. But how could the child understand? He just defended his mother: "You bully my mother, I will fight you today."
Yuan scolded Jin Zhao, but Tang Caidie grabbed Jin Zhao's ear and scolded him: "You bastard are so arrogant?"
