Qing Xing was somewhat rational. Seeing Fang Yanran so angry, she advised, "Master is not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong. Since Taozhi has been sentenced, she must have done something excessive. The county lady should calm down and not harbor grudges against you because of a maid."
Fang Yanran naturally knew that Xu Zekun was not a person who could not distinguish right from wrong, but she just couldn't accept the fact that he asked Tongfu to convey the message so coldly.
She snorted coldly, "What could Taozhi have done that was too extreme? She just heard some gossip from that concubine. And you, sister, still say Xu Zekun is chaste! Bah! All men are the same cheap bones!"
She said this to Xu Zekun, which scared Qingxing half to death. This was the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion. Even though Fang Yanran was of noble status, she would not speak of the master of the mansion like this.
Moreover, nowadays, every male among the princes and nobles has three wives and four concubines. It would be strange for someone like Xu Zekun not to have a concubine before.
Even if he took a concubine now, it was for the purpose of continuing the family line. It was also a fact that the county lady had been childless for three years after marriage.
Even the imperial concubine didn't say anything about taking a concubine, did she?
Why? Because they knew the Fang family was in the wrong!
"County Princess..." Qing Xing swallowed and wanted to persuade Fang Yanran again.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yanran became more and more angry as she spoke. She remembered that since Xu Zekun took a concubine, he had never come to her yard again. When she went out to meet with sisters in the past, she just enjoyed the envy of others.
Now she always feels that others are laughing at her, so she dares only stay in Huanfangyuan!
The more she thought about it, the more unhappy she felt. Fang Yanran gritted her teeth and asked the maidservant below, "Where is the young master?"
In her heart, Yao Susu was not even worthy of carrying her shoes. Although she was furious now, Yao was not worthy of bearing her anger. The person she wanted to find was Xu Zekun!
_
Xu Zekun came back from his work today and came to Yingxue Pavilion again.
Yao is still sick, so she needs to be seen.
Yao Susu was naturally very surprised to see Xu Zekun coming, and asked the kitchen to prepare a few dishes that Xu Zekun liked. The two were having dinner when Fang Yanran came in with her servants in a threatening manner.
She was wearing a fiery red dress, her hair was combed high, her eyes were sharp, and she was full of momentum.
Yao Susu's heart trembled. Fang Yanran was indeed domineering. Sometimes she was very curious about what made her so arrogant.
As soon as Fang Yanran came in, she saw Yao Susu sitting next to Xu Zekun and serving him food. The two of them were snuggling very close. She suddenly felt a pang in her heart and her face looked very ugly.
Yao Susu's face turned pale, with a hint of panic on her face. She stood up and saluted: "Greetings to the county lady."
Fang Yanran ignored Yao Susu and did not call out, but kept staring at Xu Zekun: "Xu Zekun, I have something to ask you."
Xu Zekun frowned, raised his eyes, and said calmly, "What's the matter?"
"Taozhi is my girl, why did you sell her out?!"
Yao Susu maintained the posture of saluting, feeling uncomfortable, and her body trembled slightly when she heard the words.
Xu Zekun's gaze fell on her and he said, "You stand up first."
Then he looked at Fang Yanran again. He looked at the woman in front of him. Her eyes were vicious, full of accusations and complaints against him.
In fact, Fang Yanran was pretty, especially with her bright eyes. He still remembered her bright smile when they first met. Unfortunately, she had never shown him such a smile.
Now she was yelling at him in front of everyone, just for a maid.
Xu Zekun felt numb. Something in the depths of his eyes was extinguished, and he became calm and composed. "I am the prince of the Marquisate, and she is a servant. Can't I deal with her?"
His tone was not harsh, but Fang Yanran felt a little panic for no reason, simply because Xu Zekun's eyes were too calm. He had never looked at her with such indifferent eyes!
She was speechless for a moment, and didn't know what to say in the face of Xu Zekun's questioning.
Yes, she is just a maid, and there is a huge difference between her and the prince of a marquisate.
For him, dealing with a maid was simply a trivial matter.
Yao Susu was listening nearby and felt that Fang Yanran not only disliked Xu Zekun, she had absolutely no respect for him at all.
Who was Xu Zekun? He was the heir apparent of a marquisate and a general, yet Fang Yanran dared to question him over such a trivial matter?
Simply... simply... Yao Susu didn't know what to say. She felt that Fang Yanran was not very smart either.
However, although Xu Zekun acted quite indifferent now, just seeing Fang Yanran yelling at him so confidently, and Xu Zekun was just indifferent, it was also known that Xu Zekun did still have some feelings for Fang Yanran.
After all, Fang Yanran is Xu Zekun's first love, and Xu Zekun fell in love with her at first sight. In addition, because of the absurdity of that banquet, Xu Zekun still feels guilty towards Fang Yanran. She is simply full of buffs.
Yao Susu thought to herself, this is so difficult.
Seeing the two of them deadlocked, Yao Susu whispered, "Master, don't sell Taozhi. It's fine with me."
Her innocent appearance successfully angered Fang Yanran. She immediately turned her gaze towards Yao, her eyes blazing with fire. She pointed her finger at Yao Susu and shouted, "You slut! You have no right to speak here!"
Yao Susu shuddered, her eyes already filled with tears. She knelt hurriedly: "I was wrong, please calm down, my lady."
She was slender and frail, and her shoulders were trembling slightly, making her look indescribably pitiful and weak.
Xu Zekun felt an inexplicable stab in his heart, but Fang Yanran was still not satisfied. She vented all her frustration and anger on Yao Susu and said, "Aunt Yao is so ignorant of the rules. Qingxing, slap her in the face."
Yao Susu became even more frightened, and her face turned pale when she looked up.
"That's enough!" Xu Zekun's face darkened. He stood up and walked to Fang Yanran, saying, "Have you had enough?"
He actually protected this bitch so much!
Fang Yanran raised her head and looked at Xu Zekun, her eyes full of contempt: "Why, you can deal with my maid, but I can't deal with your concubine?"
Xu Zekun's forehead was throbbing with anger, and his fists at his sides were clenched so tightly that they were making a crackling sound.
"Fang Yanran, don't challenge my bottom line again."
Fang Yanran couldn't believe it. She revealed her final trump card: "Xu Zekun, you favor your concubine over your wife. I'm going to the palace to ask my sister to make the decision!"
Xu Zekun closed his eyes. He was already very tired and felt powerless from the cracks in his bones.
Did Fang Yanran think that his previous indulgence and concessions to her were because he was afraid of the imperial concubine?
It's ridiculous.
"It's all up to you."
_
Fang Yanran finally played all her cards, but still failed to change Xu Zekun's attitude.
She left without looking back, carrying with her the arrogance of a county lady and resentment towards Xu Zekun.
Xu Zekun calmed down for a while and helped Yao Susu, who was kneeling on the ground, up.
Yao Susu's eyes were slightly red, but she was concerned, and she asked carefully: "Are you okay?"
Is he okay?
Xu Zekun smiled bitterly in his heart. After experiencing such a farce, it was hard to say that he was okay.
My original mood was messed up and it was hard to muster any interest anymore.
He shook his head and said, "You should rest early."
