Not only did he hate a woman like Su Man for daring to set her sights on Fang Junye, but he also hated the fact that Fang Junye's fiancée was the prince's daughter.
Although she wasn't the eldest daughter, she was still the daughter of the princess. This marriage was originally a marriage of theirs, and if Su Man caused any problems, she would be furious.
Mo Niang had been in the Fang Mansion for many years and naturally knew the seriousness of the situation. She glanced at Madam Fang and whispered softly, "Perhaps it's because my status is too low that Miss Xia doesn't think highly of me, so she doesn't take my words seriously. It would be better if Madam herself gave her a few words of warning."
"Then call her over to me now."
"Hey, I'll be right there."
...
Mo Niang came back not long after she left. Seeing that she was alone, Madam Fang frowned and asked, "Where is she?"
Mo Niang looked embarrassed, "Miss Xia said she was not feeling well and would not come."
"presumptuous!"
Madam Fang slammed her hand on the coffee table. "How dare a merchant's daughter act so arrogantly towards me? Call some maids and drag her here!"
"Ma'am, please don't."
Mo Niang advised, "When I went there just now, she kept talking about her affairs with the eldest young master. Her words were extremely unbearable to hear. If we force her to come here, her shouting will be known to everyone. What if it damages the eldest young master's reputation and affects the marriage..."
Madam Fang clearly realized the seriousness of the situation. She took a deep breath and said, "Since she's so ungrateful, I'm going to teach her a lesson myself today! Let's go!"
“…”
When Mrs. Fang stormed into Su Man's residence, both Chunyu and Dongyu were frightened.
Perhaps Mo Niang's words worked, and Mrs. Fang was afraid that Su Man would make a fuss, so she only brought the head maid.
Mo Niang asked Chunyu and Dongyu to guard outside, while she went in with Madam Fang. Even the head maid was left outside.
After Mrs. Fang entered, she soon heard a commotion and even the sound of things being thrown.
The head maid skillfully asked the spring rain and winter rain in the yard to go far away, leaving her alone to guard outside.
inside the house
Mo Niang and Su Man looked at Mrs. Fang who was lying on the ground, panting. They looked at each other. Su Man was holding the pillow that had just covered her face to prevent her from making any sound, while Mo Niang was holding a vase.
Just now, while Mrs. Fang's attention was focused on teaching Su Man a lesson, the two of them suddenly attacked and knocked Mrs. Fang down together. To make it more realistic, they kept arguing so that people outside could not hear what was going on inside.
However, this was just the beginning. After Mo Niang tidied her clothes, she walked to the door and pushed it halfway open. "Sister Jiayue, the Madam wants you to come in."
“…”
At the same time, in the study, Fang Qingshan was confronting Fang Junyi.
Fang Junyi had just been beaten with a stick yesterday, and was now being carried in by two servants.
As soon as the servant let go of him, he fell to the ground like a puddle of mud, groaning and beads of sweat the size of beans falling from his face.
Looking at his gray and blue face, Fang Qingshan not only did not have a trace of pity, but his face was gloomy. He looked down at Fang Junyi and said coldly, "You have thought about it all night, have you figured it out?"
Fang Junyi forced himself to stand up, looking up stubbornly, "Father, why don't you believe me? Everything I do is for the Fang family."
"For the Fang family?"
Fang Qingshan's voice suddenly rose, "Are you secretly investigating me and Mr. Zhou for the Fang family?"
"How did you..."
Fang Junyi understood that it must be that the servants around him could not bear the torture and confessed all the things he had investigated openly and secretly before.
Fang Qingshan gritted his teeth, "I never thought that the person who wanted to stab me would be my own son!"
Fang Junyi hadn't figured out the situation yet and thought Fang Qingshan had misunderstood him. He anxiously explained, "Father, you misunderstood. I'm the second son of the Fang family. How could I possibly harm you or the Fang family? I just want to help you."
Fang Qingshan laughed in anger, "Help me? Then tell me, how are you going to help me?"
Fang Junyi didn't realize the seriousness of the problem and was still trying to defend himself, "I just couldn't bear to see my father being controlled by others and being dragged down by Master Zhou, so I wanted to help you."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
“It’s true!”
Afraid that Fang Qingshan wouldn't believe him, Fang Junyi said anxiously, "Father used ten times the gold and silver to exchange for Master Zhou's treasures. Wasn't it because Master Zhou's things were not clean, but he was afraid of getting into trouble?"
"You...are talking nonsense!"
Fang Qingshan was almost suffocated by Fang Junyi, "I want you to mind your own business! Mr. Zhou and I..."
The voice stopped abruptly. Fang Qingshan suddenly thought of something and looked at Fang Junyi with suspicion. "No, how did you know we were paying ten times the ransom in exchange for those things? Also, how did you guess there was something wrong with those things?"
"I..."
Fang Junyi was speechless for a moment. He didn't want to expose Su Man, but even though he tried his best to hide it, the flash of panic did not escape Fang Qingshan's eyes.
Fang Qingshan's face was gloomy. "You don't want to tell me, right? I can, but there is one thing: my Fang family will not tolerate those who betray their own people. From today on, you are no longer my son, Fang Qingshan. No one in the Fang family, from top to bottom, will recognize you as the second young master!"
"No, Father!"
Fang Junyi tried to mediate, but Fang Qingshan was completely determined. Although he desperately didn't want to betray his "Xia Luoran", the current situation forced him to do nothing. He believed that Luoran, who was so understanding, would not blame him.
So, he made up his mind, "Xia Luoran told me."
"Charlotte?"
Fang Qingshan realized something. He jumped up from his chair and called out repeatedly, "Butler!"
"The servant is here."
"Bring Charlotte to me!"
"Yes, sir..."

South Garden
Mo Niang was walking out quickly, supporting "Mrs. Fang", while Mrs. Fang was covering her face with the fan in her hand.
Thanks to Madam Fang's past reputation, maids, servants, and errand boys, when they saw Madam Fang from afar, they all hid, for fear of offending her.
In this way, the two of them successfully left the South Garden, walked through the corridor, and headed towards the gate.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
The tension and fatigue made Mo Niang's breathing louder and louder. She wanted to turn her head to look back, but Su Man, who was shielding her face with a fan, whispered to her, "Don't look back."
Yes, this "Mrs. Fang" was Su Man in disguise.
Last night, they discussed it for half the night and decided to take a risk.
Last night, Mo Niang said that she would let Su Man wear her clothes and pretend to be her to escape, but she forgot one thing. Even if she was not free in the Fang Mansion, she could not run far even if she pretended to be her.
At the moment, the only person who can enter and leave the Fang family freely, besides Fang Qingshan, is Mrs. Fang.
So, the two of them decided to let Su Man dress up as Mrs. Fang, while Mo Niang would still use her own identity.
The plan is there, but whether it will succeed depends on two variables.
