Chapter 7: The Elegant Young Master
The tabby cat leaning over the table nodded obediently, rubbing its furry head against her hand twice: "That faker said that only by killing you can she replace all your luck and become a phoenix!"
Fang Qianxue only felt a chill on her spine and her fingers trembled slightly.
Although she had a good understanding of the plot, many parts of the book were only mentioned briefly, so she thought it was really her own blood that cured her heart disease.
Exchanging lives or borrowing lives is the most important method of winning. Our dynasty has already banned it. I never thought it would happen to me!
In order to prevent her from being selected into the palace, her grandfather never publicized her fate as a phoenix girl and sealed her with a golden hairpin early on.
How did Xu Miaoyan know all this?
It turns out that she came to Shangjing not for the treatment of her heart disease, nor for Lu Changqing. She had only one purpose in coming to Shangjing from the beginning to the end - to kill her in exchange for his life!
"Well done, these are your reward." Fang Qianxue picked up the spoon, scooped the fish from the bowl and placed it on a small white porcelain plate.
The tabby cat finished eating in a few bites and called out twice softly.
"You want to follow me?" Fang Qianxue looked into Mao'er's eyes and shook her head. "How do I know you won't betray me? Maybe you told that Xu everything I said."
"Meow!" The fat cat suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted, "She doesn't deserve it! Meow's fake is not even as good as Xuexue's finger! Lu Changqing is a waste, stupid and blind!"
"..." Fang Qianxue didn't expect that this cat could be so gratifying when scolding people. She couldn't help laughing, "Okay, go back when you're full. I'll call you if I need anything next time."
The cat rubbed its furry head on her hand twice and suddenly jumped off the windowsill.
"Madam! Lord Yan is here and said he has a letter from the eldest young master!" Cui Shuang walked in quickly, unable to hide the joy on her face.
"My second brother has written to me?" Fang Qianxue stood up excitedly. "Where is he?"
"Wait in the flower hall in the outer courtyard."
"Come on, follow me to meet him." Fang Qianxue gathered her hair and led Cuishuang out.
Yan Fenghua, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, was a student of my grandfather and also a good friend of Lu Changqing. Since the Fang family got into trouble, Lu Changqing had not said a word for the Fang family. Instead, Yan Fenghua helped to smooth things over and saved the Fang family from suffering on the road to exile.
In the flower hall.
The stern man in a green gown blew tea mist while asking the maid next to him, "I heard that your master brought a woman back from Jiangning?"
The "deeds" of Xu Miaoyan have been widely spread. A few days ago, Lu Changqing brought her into the palace to meet the queen, and the fact that Xu was conferred the title of "Silkworm Female Official" of the sixth rank was known to everyone in the court and the country.
There were some rumors in the capital that Lu Changqing was behaving intimately with the female official in charge of silkworms, and that he was going to divorce his wife and remarry. Yan Fenghua did not believe it.
When several of their disciples asked to marry Fang Qianxue at the same time, Lu Changqing almost knelt on the doorstep of the Fang family to get this marriage. Divorcing his wife and marrying again? How is that possible!
"My Lord, you are talking about Miss Xu, right? Miss Xu is really an amazing woman!" The maid secretly looked at the man in front of her and couldn't help but stare at him in amazement. "She can understand animal language. Our old lady likes her very much."
He is worthy of being the famous "Elegant Young Man" in Beijing. I never get tired of looking at him.
White tea mist lingered between the man's eyebrows, making his sharp-edged face look even more handsome and dignified. However, having been in charge of the prison for such a long time, he was accustomed to frowning slightly, looking a little cold and solemn.
"It's a pity that your uncle is gone, otherwise Xu could have been your first wife." Yan Fenghua said casually.
The maid smiled awkwardly: "Now...it's okay."
The man frowned, and immediately felt that the matter was not simple: "What do you mean?"
"Master Yan, you don't know yet?" The maid thought that Master Yan was a good friend of the Second Master, so she did not hide it, "Our Second Master plans to marry into both houses and welcome Miss Xu into the family..."
Yan Fenghua was shocked at first, then with a "bang", he suddenly put down the teacup in his hand: "Ridiculous!"
"Master Yan, please calm down!" The maid hurriedly cleaned up the spilled tea.
Fang Qianxue walked into the hall at this moment: "What happened? Why are you so angry?"
When she was young, Yan Fenghua often visited Fang's house, and the two were as close as brother and sister.
"This girl said that Changqing was planning to marry the two families and Xu from Jiangning!" Yan Fenghua said, "What nonsense!"
"So it's about this matter. You're not talking nonsense. It's true." Fang Qianxue smiled bitterly and sat down on the chair opposite him.
The maid served tea to Fang Qianxue, replaced the tea for Yan Fenghua, and then left in a hurry.
"Master Yan, you have to take charge of our Madam!" Cui Shuang said loudly, "Our Madam has been working hard and never made any mistakes over the years, but now she is being bullied! If that witch comes in, our Madam will have to call her sister-in-law and bow her head in greeting!"
