Chapter 87: Living Alone in a Separate Residence
That was the house where she and Lu Changqing once lived. The couple had many memories in it. Fang Qianxue didn't want to live there anymore. She didn't want to think about anything about this man at all, so she had someone buy a big house in Shangjing East City early on, close to the original Fang Mansion, so that she could move in after divorcing her husband.
"Qianxue," Lu Changqing looked at her with tears in his eyes and said, "You and I have sworn to each other, and we have two children who are related by blood. Are you really going to be so heartless?"
"It's you, Lord Lu, who is heartless, not me." Fang Qianxue folded the document written by the clerk and put it into her sleeve. "In your eyes, the lives of me and my two children are not worth Xu Miaoyan alone. If that's the case, you can go and live with her forever."
After Fang Qianxue finished speaking, she called out to the two children and said, "Yao'er, Yuan'er, you are here today to bid farewell to your biological father. From now on, this man is no longer your father, and you have no relationship with him at all."
Lu Qingyuan was still confused, but Lu Qingyao had already knelt down with a plop, kowtowed to Lu Changqing, and stood up and said, "I know. He is a bad man and wants to kill us. I will never call him daddy again."
Fang Qianxue nodded with relief.
Lu Qingyuan also followed Lu Qingyao's example and kowtowed before standing up. He hid behind Fang Qianxue and said, "From now on, we only want our mother, not our father."
Fang Qianxue felt sad again when she heard this: "Good boy, let's go."
"Don't leave!" Chen stopped the two children. "They have the blood of our Lu family flowing in their veins. Where are you taking them? Changqing, stop them quickly!"
She only has these two grandchildren, and Xu Miaoyan is infertile. Does that mean the Lu family will have no descendants?
Lu Changqing pursed his lips, lowered his head and remained silent.
Fang Qianxue glanced at Chen with contempt: "Madam Lu, the letter of release clearly states that the two children will no longer be related to the Lu family. Are you going to disobey the order?"
"You...you have such a cruel heart!" The old woman gnashed her teeth in hatred, but in the end she did not dare to pounce on her and beat her.
"Master Bai, Prince Beining, thank you for your justice today," Fang Qianxue held the two children and saluted to Bai Changlin and Prince Beining first, then to the people outside the door. "I will remember your kindness today. Thank you very much. Take care!"
Ever since Lu Changqing changed his heart, Fang Qianxue felt that the world was cruel and there was nothing worth cherishing except the two children. There were no sincere people, and they were not even as sincere as kittens and puppies.
But today, these strangers helped her, and Fang Qianxue suddenly felt that there was still a little warmth in this world.
She will definitely return this warmth.
"Take care, Lord Fang!" The people were so moved.
No noble lady has ever bowed to common people like them!
After Fang Qianxue finished speaking, she led Cui Shuang and Mei Huaao's servants out of the court.
When they first moved into the newly bought house, the two children were very excited and ran around in the house, showing no melancholy at all about leaving their old home.
"Madam! The plaque has been made. When will it be hung up?" Accountant Yang had someone carry up a plaque with green characters on a black background. On the plaque were two large and flowing characters: "Fang Mansion".
Fang Qianxue raised her hand and gently stroked the words on the plaque, and thought of the once prominent Fang family, and couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
"Hang it up now. From now on, this is our home. You have all been with me for many years. From now on, your monthly salary will be doubled. If there is anything that the Lu family has but not here, you can tell me." Fang Qianxue said, "I will buy it for you."
"Yes, thank you, ma'am." Accountant Yang led everyone to salute her.
After the servants left, Fang Qianxue called Lu Qingyao and Lu Qingyuan, who were running madly, over and wiped the sweat off their foreheads: "From now on, you will call me Fang Qingyao and Fang Qingyuan, remember?"
“Remember!”
"That sounds good!" the two children exclaimed.
"Don't just run around like crazy, be careful not to fall." Fang Qianxue smiled slightly, thinking that the two children were almost old enough to start elementary school, and they couldn't play foolishly like this every day anymore.
She is now a female official of the second rank. She has her own salary, and she still has the shop from her dowry, so she has some money. It is not difficult for her to support her two children, but it is really a problem to give them an education.
If she invites a teacher to her home, since there is no male owner in her house, people will inevitably gossip. If she sends her to a private school, or to another family's clan school, that's another matter. Anyway, each has its own troubles.
Another problem is registering a household. She wanted to register the household in Fang Qingyuan's name, but the child was still young after all, and she didn't know whether the clerk in charge of household registration would agree.
"Don't think too much about it for now." Fang Qianxue let out a long sigh and said to the maid next to her, "Today is the first day we move into our new home, it's worth commemorating. Cuishuang, go ask the kitchen to prepare a table of delicious food so we can celebrate."
"Yes!" Cui Shuang skipped to the kitchen.
Today is the first day that Madam, the young lady and the young master have escaped. It is a cause for celebration and we must prepare a delicious meal.
The Princess's Mansion.
The sun is shining and the weather is getting warmer these days.
Xiao Mingzhe was sitting in the pavilion, fanning himself with a folding fan and watching Lin Xingchen and Lin Baoyue eating melon across from him.
Lin Xingchen's face was covered with melon seeds. He suddenly raised his head and laughed, "Grandma's birthday will be in a few days. We can go to the palace to play again."
Xiao Mingzhe stroked the bright yellow fan pendant and frowned slightly.
This nephew has been a troubled person since he was young. Although he looks good, he is frivolous and unkempt, which is really annoying to look at.
Lin Baoyue rolled her eyes at her brother and said, "Is eating, drinking and having fun all you think about? Have you studied these days?"
Xiao Mingzhe looked at his niece and sighed softly.
Lin Baoyue is easy to worry about and looks cute, but she has a whiny personality and is a face lover with no brains, which makes her a pain to look at.
He looked left and right and felt that Lin Xingchen and Lin Baoyue had different noses and eyes. Why wasn't the person in front of him his other niece, Fang Qianxue?
Lin Xingchen spat out a mouthful of melon seeds and rolled his eyes at his sister.
Eating, drinking and having fun were not the only things on his mind. He heard about a big event a while ago: his grandmother's sister, the female official who held the seal of the emperor, divorced her husband, and now she lives alone in a separate house.
Lin Xingchen only had a superficial impression of Fang Qianxue.
Speaking of the fate between the Princess's Mansion and the Fang family, it was all because of him.
When Lin Xingchen was young, he once got into trouble and severely injured someone. He did not admit his mistake and was almost arrested by the Dali Temple and thrown into prison. Later, the eldest princess asked Master Fang for help, and Master Fang rescued him. Master Fang also accepted him as his apprentice and personally took him to apologize and compensate the family, and only then did the matter get settled.
