It was simply because the evidence Old Lady Fang had presented today was so shocking that the situation was truly unfavorable for Fang Yacun. Therefore, he and his people had discussed it for a while but hadn't come up with any good strategy to turn the tables immediately. Judging from Old Lady Fang's attitude today, it was clear that she wouldn't give them a chance to counterattack.
The last young man, who had received many favors from Fang Yacun, hesitated and said, "The old lady said that you were the one who poisoned Fang Yaxun, but there is not enough evidence. After all, there was no one else who could have done it except you."
When the man said this, he glanced at Fang Yacun and did not continue.
Another person suddenly realized, "That's right, the fourth aunt hadn't married yet! And I heard that the fourth aunt also learned to make medicinal food from Concubine Fang. She knows a little about pharmacology, and before she got married, she often made medicinal food for the old lady. Speaking of which, she had always been in the inner courtyard. She had a better chance of going down than the fourth master..."
The man was halfway through his speech when the person next to him pulled his sleeve.
The man who spoke looked up and saw that Fang Yacun's face had turned ashen.
"no!"
Everyone looked at each other after hearing this. The person who had spoken earlier tried to persuade him, "Fourth Master. Fourth Aunt is already married, and she married far away in Yanbei. Even if all the charges are put on her, the Fang family can't call her back to punish her. With her husband's family protecting her, what else can she do? But you are different. If the charges against you cannot be completely cleared, I'm afraid the position of the head of this family will be..."
Someone else chimed in, "Yes, Fourth Brother. And I heard Fourth Sister disappeared a while ago, and she hasn't been found yet. Honestly, even if she's found in the end, it might be worse than never. Given the situation, using Fourth Sister as a buffer might be a good idea."
"Yes, Fourth Master."
Fang Yacun angrily said, "Shut up! As a man, how can I let a weak woman take the blame? She's my own sister! All of you get out!"
The people from Fang Yacun's faction shook their heads and walked away.
Fang Yacun drank a whole cup of herbal tea in one breath. At this time, Liu came in with her son.
When Fang Yacun saw Liu, he asked, "How is it? What did the people on my uncle's side say?"
Liu sighed and said nothing.
Fang Yacun became more and more annoyed when she saw this.
Liu looked at Fang Yacun walking back and forth for a long time, and then suddenly knelt down in front of Fang Yacun with her son.
Fang Yacun was stunned: "What are you doing?" He reached out to help Liu.
However, Liu dodged his hand. Fang Shuzhou looked at his mother and then at his father, then knelt without moving.
Liu lowered her head and said, "Master, I have been married to you for over ten years and have never asked you for anything, but today I want to ask you for one thing."
Fang Yacun frowned: "Why can't you just stand up and talk it out nicely?"
Liu gave a bitter laugh and whispered, "If it were just you and me, then no matter what the outcome, I would be willing to stand by you, through thick and thin, and never abandon you, even in life or death."
Fang Yacun couldn't help but be stunned.
Liu patted her son's head and continued, "But I am a mother. I really can't bear to see my child being cursed and criticized in the future, saying that his future is ruined. So even though I know this is selfish, I still can't help being selfish this time."
