Even with Fang Xiaoshuan protecting him, Shi Gen was still kicked a few times by Fang Zhu.
"Stop hitting him, Fang Zhu, you're going to kill him!"
Fang Zhu stopped, his eyes still filled with hostility.
He was a man who had fought on the battlefield, and his eyes held a fierce look.
After being beaten up, Shi Gen no longer dared to argue with Fang Zhu. He was now cowering on the ground, barely daring to breathe.
Fang Zhu straightened her clothes.
"Today is a lesson. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will take your lives."
He was absolutely not joking; his icy gaze sent chills down the spines of the family of four.
Fang Xiaoshuan dared not say anything more.
I've completely lost face today.
When Fang Zhu looked at Fang Qing again, the expression in his eyes had returned to normal.
"let's go."
Fang Qing glanced at Fang Xiaoshuan and the others, then left with Fang Zhu.
"Compared to back then, you've become more lenient."
Fang Qing said with a smile.
Back then, Fang Zhu almost killed Fang Xiaoshuan and his wife.
Fang Zhu couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing her words.
"I acted impulsively back then, but thankfully you persuaded me to stop, otherwise, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today."
"You earned this yourself, I wouldn't dare take credit for it."
Fang Zhu glanced at her.
She smiled, giving off a very approachable vibe.
Fang Zhusheng felt a surge of impulse.
He suddenly stopped and called out Fang Qing's name.
Do you still remember the jade pendant you gave me when I left?
If Fang Zhu hadn't suddenly brought it up, Fang Qing would have completely forgotten.
Back then, I was just worried that he wouldn't have enough money, so I exchanged a decent jade pendant for him in the system shop, so he could pawn it for money.
"I still have some impressions."
Then, the next moment, Fang Zhu took out a handkerchief from his bosom. When he opened the handkerchief, a jade pendant lay quietly inside.
Fang Qing couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"You redeemed it?"
It's wrapped up so carefully, and it seems to be no different from what it was back then.
Fang Zhu chuckled softly.
"I've always kept it with me."
Fang Qing was even more surprised.
"You... I'm giving it to you as travel expenses."
I didn't expect him to still have it.
"How could I bear to?"
As he spoke, he took the jade pendant in his hand and shook it, then took Fang Qing's hand and placed the jade pendant in her palm.
"Fang Qing, I have always been grateful to you, and I have never forgotten you over the years. Would you be willing to be the general's wife?"
Fang Qing isn't stupid; how could she not understand what Fang Zhu meant?
She quickly withdrew her hand.
"No, it was just a small favor I did back then. Brother Fangzhu just remembered me as his little sister."
Her retreating movement paused the smile on Fang Zhu's face.
“I used to treat you like a little sister, but now that you’ve grown up, I haven’t been able to forget you since I last saw you. I’m not a child anymore, and I know that this feeling isn’t the kind between siblings.”
Fang Qing really didn't know what to do.
She tried to give the jade pendant to Fang Zhu, but Fang Zhu dodged it.
"Think it over again. I can provide you and your family with a very good life right now, I..."
"Brother Fangzhu, stop talking. I've always thought of you as my older brother."
Fang Zhu pursed her lips and looked at Fang Qing.
Looking into Fang Qing's sincere eyes, Fang Zhu knew she had no chance.
He gave a wry smile.
"Do you have someone you like? Otherwise, why would you reject me without even thinking it through?"
Fang Qing was taken aback.
"No."
"Really? Then I still have a chance?"
He said this with a forced, lighthearted smile.
"Brother Fangzhu, you're kidding! From now on, you're my brother, my real brother!"
Fang Zhu couldn't laugh at all.
"Alright, since you're my brother, it's only right that I give you something. I brought you some gifts from the capital, and they should have arrived by now."
Who is it?
"You've met my lieutenant, Qianjin."
A face with a thick beard appeared in Fang Qing's mind.
"Let's go back."
Fang Qing followed Fang Zhu home.
As she approached the alley entrance, she saw red paper pasted in the bamboo grove in the distance, and Fang Qing thought of Zhao Shi'an again.
"This was given to my brother by the villagers to celebrate his achievement of winning the 'Little Three Scholars' award a while ago. He is currently studying in Fucheng."
"You probably don't remember him. We'll introduce you to him when we have the chance."
Speaking of Zhao Shi'an, she couldn't help but smile.
Fang Zhu glanced at her, then seemed to realize something but didn't tell Fang Qing.
When they got home, Xiang Qian was already sitting inside drinking tea with Fang Daniu. He quickly got up when he saw them return.
"Boss, little..."
Before she could even utter the word "little sister-in-law," she received a warning look from Fang Zhu.
“...Miss Fang”.
He hurriedly changed his tune.
"General Xiang."
"No, just call me Xiangqian."
The big man scratched his head sheepishly.
Where is the stuff?
"They're in the carriage outside."
Xiangqian hurriedly called for people to unload the things from the carriage.
Fang Zhu said it was just a little bit, but Fang Qing saw that it was almost a whole carriage full.
From small, storeable pastries to large, precious jewelry.
"No, this is too valuable, I can't accept it."
Fang Zhu sighed.
"These things were originally used for other purposes... You can keep them. Don't you treat me like a brother? That's how generous I am to my sister."
He glanced at the boxes of various sizes with nonchalant indifference.
