Unable to bear it any longer, Yao Yufang turned cold and waved goodbye, saying, "Young Master, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."
The woman brought by Yao Yufang was startled by Yao Yufang's cold expression and was at a loss. However, neither Jiang Xuelin nor Fu Hanlai were afraid of Yao Yufang's expression.
"So what if I'm leaving first? Who are you trying to scare, Young Master Yao?" Seeing the gloom in Yao Yufang's eyes, Jiang Xuelin was worried that he would lose control and give Fu Ashou a good beating. She stepped forward with her arms crossed and said calmly.
Just this morning, when Fu Ashou looked like he would fall over at the slightest touch, Jiang Xuelin was worried that he would be easily defeated.
Her position was perfect in blocking Yao Yufang from attacking Fu Hanlai, and she could stop Yao Yufang in time if he did make a move.
But even if she hadn't said it, Fu Ashou really does know how to stab people in the heart.
No matter what Fu Ashou is going crazy about, he is now her man. And what Fu Ashou said is not wrong, it just doesn't sound good. Yao Yufang dared to do it back then, so what others wouldn't dare to say?
Yao Yufang simply cupped his hands in greeting, then turned and left.
The woman who had been brought with him saw Yao Yufang leave without looking back, so she quickly followed him, but dared not get too close lest she incur his wrath.
Watching Yao Yufang leave with the woman, Fu Hanlai remained leaning against the carriage. When Jiang Xuelin looked over, he shrugged innocently, "He seems angry."
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
Anyone would be angry in that situation.
She's now thinking of calling Yao Yufang back to beat up Fu Ashou, since he really looks like he deserves a beating.
“This Yao Yufang is no good,” Fu Hanlai suddenly said as the two boarded the carriage.
Yao Yufang thought he had concealed it very well, but Fu Hanlai still saw the hatred and scheming in his eyes from inside the carriage.
"Of course, he probably thinks that the reason he hasn't gotten engaged in the past few years is because of me, and he's bound to hold me responsible. Yao Yufang gives me the feeling of a venomous snake," Jiang Xuelin commented after Fu Hanlai's assessment.
She truly felt as if she were facing a silent, venomous snake.
The two exchanged a glance, each having made their own decision.
Having roughly figured out what to do next, Fu Hanlai slumped down, his lazy demeanor returning, as if he wanted nothing more than to lie down in the carriage.
Jiang Xuelin glanced at it with disdain and then looked away. She took out a storybook from the hidden compartment and began to talk about what happened yesterday while reading the storybook.
“Our tabloid is extremely popular in the capital, and it’s normal for some people to want to sell it to more distant places, but we can’t rule out the possibility that some people are not doing legitimate business.”
"I think this is another trap. After all, since our joking 'The Sun Shines Brightly' came out, there are still a lot of people talking about it. Those ministers wish they could impeach it every day."
"So, it turns out someone has targeted that tabloid again, trying to sabotage it, right?"
Fu Hanlai also pulled out a storybook he hadn't read before from the hidden compartment, and chuckled as he spoke.
"Who knows? I've already sent people to investigate that wealthy businessman's background and identity. I expect to have the results soon."
Neither of them took Yao Yufang's matter to heart today. Since he was bound to be an enemy anyway, one more or one less wouldn't make a difference. They just needed to keep that in mind.
"By the way, did you notice the woman Yao Yufang brought back this time?"
Jiang Xuelin suddenly remembered something she had overlooked and asked about it.
"Jiang Xuelin, what do you mean? Do you think I'm the kind of person who stares at women when I'm out in public?"
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
do not you?
Have you forgotten why I beat you up when we first met? Have you forgotten your identity as a bully? Don't act like you're so rule-abiding!
"...Okay, you're not, so did you notice that woman?"
Fu Hanlai: "..."
I'm a little angry.
He thought of the fact that Jiang Xuelin treated women better.
This is the experience he has accumulated over the years. Among the same people, Jiang Xuelin is obviously more friendly to women and always behaves like a gentleman. For example, he still remembers Dou Niangzi and her daughter, and he also remembered the time he saved Fei Qing.
However, Fu Hanlai was still very unhappy when he thought that Jiang Xuelin was looking at the woman next to Yao Yufang while he was talking to Yao Yufang.
He hasn't even seen it yet!
"Didn't notice!" The voice was a little stiff. If Ping An Kangtai had heard Fu Hanlai's voice, he would probably have been trying to recall when he had angered the young master. Unfortunately, it was Jiang Xuelin sitting here.
"I am not the kind of lecherous man who can't take his eyes off a woman."
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
You make it sound like I'm just an ordinary person.
I won't argue with him; I have important business to attend to.
“I noticed it.” Jiang Xuelin frowned as she thought about what she had discovered, her mood not too good. “The woman walked with a graceful and swaying gait, which was extremely captivating.”
Fu Hanlai: "..."
Jiang Xuelin, you @#￥%@￥￥#%！
His face darkened, but Fu Hanlai remained silent, wanting to hear what else Jiang Xuelin might say.
He had never seen anyone like this before!
How could Jiang Xuelin do this!
Shameless!
"I won't even mention her demeanor; to be noticed by Yao Yufang, she must be quite good..."
Jiang Xuelin was completely unaware that Fu Hanlai was emanating a chilling aura. She stroked her chin, deep in thought, recalling what she had just seen.
"I have no interest in a woman's manners, nor do I want to know why Yao Yufang would take a liking to her. Jiang Xuelin, you're actually staring at that woman!"
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
What's wrong with me, a woman, staring at another woman? Should I stare at a man? That would be truly indecent, wouldn't it?
"That's not what I meant." After being interrupted by Fu Han's long speech, Jiang Xue almost forgot what she was originally going to say. Fortunately, she managed to pull her thoughts back from the wrong path in time. "I noticed that the woman's feet have some problems."
"The woman's foot was injured, and the bone appeared to be broken, twisted, and deformed."
Upon hearing this, Fu Hanlai suddenly sat up straight. "You mean Yao Yufang harmed women?"
“No.” Jiang Xuelin looked intently at Fu Hanlai. “My brother once said that the literati in Jiangnan nowadays like three-inch golden lotuses. It seems that the woman’s feet are what is called three-inch golden lotuses.”
The practice of foot binding is not yet widespread, but it has begun to become popular in the south. Jiang Xuelin heard about it from her younger brother, Jiang Xuetao, and today is the first time she has actually seen it.
As someone who practices martial arts, Jiang Xuelin could immediately spot the problem with the woman's posture.
That's truly outrageous.
