Chapter 144: True and False, a Restless Night



With the departure of Manager Song and Imperial Physician Jiang, dusk fell over the mansion.

When night fell, the Fang family was as quiet as usual.

Two maids who were in charge of checking the lights met in a corner and came closer while checking the oil.

"Have you heard about what happened today?" one said in a low voice.

The other one smiled with a frown.

"I've not only heard about it, I saw it with my own eyes." She laughed softly.

First, a maid's eyes lit up.

"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, did the Madam really rape the Young Master and cause him to die of exhaustion?" she whispered.

The maid pursed her lips and put her hands in her sleeves.

"Let me tell you, at that time I saw that girl Mai Dong standing..." She lowered her voice, and just as she said this, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps behind her.

The two maids were startled and turned around quickly, only to see a group of guards appearing out of nowhere.

"Are you on night patrol?" a maid asked with a forced smile, and was about to make way.

The guards did not move forward.

"What are you doing?" the leader asked with a sullen face.

The two maids couldn't help but take a few steps apart.

"We are looking at the lights," they said in unison.

The guard sneered.

"Take it away." He said with a wave of his hand.

The two maids turned pale with horror.

"Grandpa, grandpa, what's wrong with us? We are looking at the lights carefully, not being lazy." They said hurriedly.

But the guards carried the two of them away without saying anything, and the maid's screams soon disappeared, apparently because her mouth was blocked.

Such things were happening everywhere in the Fang family at night.

A woman screamed in pain from a small room.

"You little bitch, why don't you tell me?" a maid said harshly, swung the whip in her hand fiercely.

The girl tied to the wooden stake let out a cry of pain.

"Mom, it was Aunt Yuan who asked me to go find the First Madam. I didn't mean to bring up the matter of the Young Master." She cried weakly.

"You're still being stubborn." The maid shouted fiercely and was about to raise the whip again.

"That's enough." Mrs. Fang's voice sounded from behind.

The maid hurriedly lowered her hands and replied yes.

Mrs. Fang stood up and glanced at the tied-up girl.

"Heal her wounds and send her to the manor," she said.

Better than being sold out.

"Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am." The girl said crying, with a glimmer of joy in her eyes.

Mrs. Fang ignored her and walked out. The courtyard was brightly lit. Guards were standing inside and outside the courtyard.

Guards were coming in and out, and from time to time they brought in crying and panicked maids and servants and threw them into the dark rooms.

Mrs. Fang looked for a moment, then passed through a moon-shaped door and arrived at a brightly lit courtyard.

It turns out that this is where Old Mrs. Fang lives.

Unlike before, although there were still many girls standing inside and outside, they looked nervous and not as relaxed and cheerful as before.

Seeing Mrs. Fang coming over, she was busy reporting and drawing the curtains at the same time.

Yuanshi stood trembling under the eaves and bowed.

Mrs. Fang didn't look at her and walked straight in.

Old Mrs. Fang leaned on the kang by the window with her eyes closed, resting.

"Mother, I can't get anything out of her. It was Yuan who asked her to go." Mrs. Fang said. "Yuan also said it was her negligence. She just asked her to go and inform me. She didn't tell her to look after the people and the occasion and not to say anything nonsense."

Old Mrs. Fang nodded.

"Let her say whatever she wants." She said, opening her eyes. "We're not here to find out anything. We just want to find an excuse to clean out everyone in the house."

Mrs. Fang replied yes.

"We have arrested almost all the criminals today, and we cannot clear them all out, so as to avoid arousing their suspicion," she said.

Old Mrs. Fang nodded.

Mrs. Fang looked somewhat sad.

"Mother, Uncle Song really..." she said in a low voice.

Old Mrs. Fang looked up at her and sneered. Mrs. Fang said nothing more.

"Whether he was used intentionally or unintentionally, no one among us believes it now," said Mrs. Fang.

Mrs. Fang replied with tears in her eyes.

"Don't be sad, this is a good thing." Old Lady Fang continued, "If you stick your head out, you'll get a knife. If you shrink your head, you'll get a knife too. We've been fooled for so many years, and finally we can get to know our enemy. Isn't this a happy thing?"

Mrs. Fang nodded.

"Yes, I'm very happy." She gritted her teeth and said, "I have been looking forward to this day day and night. I would rather die knowingly than be a confused ghost."

Old Mrs. Fang nodded.

"So we are not afraid, let's cheer up." She said, "Okay, I'll take care of the housework, you just take care of Chengyu with all your heart."

Thinking of Chengyu, Mrs. Fang couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Miss Jun, is Chengyu really okay like this?" she asked.

Old Madam Fang did not tell Madam Fang Chengyu that Jun Zhenzhen had deliberately created this situation, but of course she explained that Jun Zhenzhen had not really forced anything on Fang Chengyu.

All of this is to make everyone believe the rumor that Chengyu was drugged to continue the future generations.

And she told Mrs. Fang that Miss Jun said that Chengyu's condition was concealed by her using medicine, so it looked serious, and he would be fine after taking some medicine to recuperate for a while.

Mrs. Fang originally didn't believe that there was a medicine that could make a person look like a dead person, and that it could be hidden from a doctor like Imperial Physician Jiang. But with the living example of Fang Chengyu, a paralyzed man, who could stand up and have sex with a little girl, right in front of her, it was hard for her not to believe it.

"It's okay, don't worry." Mrs. Fang said, "Although it seems that this matter has been fooled for the time being, you still have to be careful."

Who can guarantee that these people will kill people directly if they don't want to tease anymore?

Mrs. Fang replied with a serious expression.

This time she would never let her son get hurt again.

Mrs. Fang left Old Lady Fang's place, and Yuan followed her anxiously.

On Madam Fang's side, Mrs. Su and the three sisters Fang Yunxiu were guarding Fang Chengyu. When they saw Madam Fang coming back, the four of them hurried to greet her.

"Okay, it's getting late, you all should go back." Mrs. Fang said tiredly.

Fang Jinxiu wanted to speak, but Fang Yuxiu glared at her to stop her, and Su also waved her hand at her.

"I am tired, you are all sensible children." Mrs. Su said with a serious expression.

Fang Jinxiu lowered her head and answered yes, and the three sisters retreated.

Yuan stepped forward cautiously.

"Madam, you should also go to bed early..." she said, reaching out to tentatively untie Madam Fang's cloak.

Mrs. Fang let her go.

"You should also go to bed early." She said, and then looked at Su, "The house needs to be tidied up in the next few days, you take care of it."

Su replied yes, bowed and left, and Yuan had to follow him out embarrassedly.

"Are you okay?"

As soon as he came out, Su asked.

Yuan was still feeling uneasy.

"It should be fine." She said, "I really didn't mean to make a fuss about the young master."

Su nodded.

"The madam and the old lady are wise, don't worry," she said.

Yuan patted his chest.

"What happened today really scared me to death." She whispered, "Who would have thought that the young master would do such a thing, and who would have thought that the young mistress would do such a thing. I didn't expect that the young master would be so silent and stubborn, pretending to be honest for so long, and actually played such a trick. He is really mean..."

Su stared at her.

"I don't think you can be frightened to death." She frowned and whispered, "Do you really want to be driven out? Do you think your wife can't bear to let you go?"

Yuan smiled awkwardly and put her hand on her mouth to make a sewing gesture.

Su glanced at her and walked forward. When she reached the door, she looked back and saw that Mrs. Fang had already walked to the next room, where Fang Chengyu was staying.

I don’t know if he woke up.

Fang Chengyu has woken up, and the first feeling he had when he looked around was that he was not used to it.

It turns out he is a person who is particular about his bed.
