"I know you don't see me as a good person, and what kind of good person is Zhao Shi'an anyway? Otherwise, go and find out how the Gao family was treated by him back then..."
"Master Gao."
Xiao Liu interrupted Gao Ren and used his unsheathed sword to separate Fang Qing and Gao Ren.
Gao Ren glanced at Xiao Liu, released Fang Qing, and took a step back.
"I'm leaving now. Once you see clearly what kind of person Zhao Shi'an is, and you regret leaving him, you're welcome to stay anytime."
He waved and stepped down the stairs.
Fang Qing watched him walk onto the street, and his figure disappeared into the crowd in a short while.
Fang Qing entered the mansion, recalling his words.
Dinner was ready in the kitchen. Fang Qing took the handkerchief handed to her by the maid to wipe her hands, sat down and waited for Zhao Shi'an for a while before starting the meal.
"I just saw Gao Ren at the door. Did he come here because of Gao Wancheng?"
Zhao Shi'an responded.
"Gao Wancheng was indeed kidnapped by his men at first, but before he could see Gao Wancheng again, Gao Wancheng was kidnapped by another group of people. This group should be Gao Wancheng's men."
Fang Qing asked suspiciously, "Why did he kidnap Gao Wancheng in the first place?"
"Revenge, like Gao Wancheng treated his mother back then, but I never expected Gao Wancheng would have someone else."
"So Gao Ren doesn't know where Gao Wancheng is now?" Fang Qing asked.
"It won't be long before he tells the truth."
It seems that Zhao Shi'an had other ways to get Gao Ren to tell the truth, but he didn't, and Fang Qing didn't ask either.
While eating, Fang Qing thought of what Gao Ren had said at the door earlier, and couldn't help but ask.
"What is he trying to say? How did you treat the Gao family back then?"
Fang Qing clearly noticed that Zhao Shi'an paused while picking up food.
"I don't know what he means, but I guess being kept in the capital is a form of imprisonment, and he's probably feeling bad about it."
Fang Qing glanced at Zhao Shi'an a few more times. Just then, the maid served another dish, fried lotus root, which Fang Qing liked. Zhao Shi'an changed the subject.
Fang Qing didn't pay attention to it at the time, but the next day at the Royal Farm, she remembered it and asked a worker next to her about it.
"The Gao family? You don't know? The Gao family was wiped out by their enemies. It was only when the patrol battalion and the Imperial Guards arrived at the scene that they discovered the evidence of the Gao family's crimes, which confirmed their treason."
Fang Qing was stunned for a moment again.
"Exterminate the entire family?"
