"Mom's telling you, our family can't do things like repaying evil with good."
Huo Xiaolong tilted his head and stared at her, asking questioningly.
"ah?"
Every parent needs to have a broad perspective and know how to be tolerant and forgiving when raising children. Luckily, she's pretending to be four years old. If she were really four, this child would definitely be raised by her parents to be a second-generation bear cub, acting like a bear alongside her!
"If someone gives me honey, I'll return the favor with sweet dates. But if someone gives me bitter herbs, what should I do?" Cen Ang asked the little dumpling in front of him.
"I'll slap him back!"
"Ha ha ha ha"
Huo Xiaolong's childlike words amused the two women. Ruyi hefted the little bundle in her arms a couple of times and said...
"Yes, I will repay you with bitter soup!"
Cen's mother poked her forehead twice and said...
"It's time for you to start studying; all you do is play around all day."
Wei Ci is leaving, and he wants to take her with him. This is the news Fanghua heard from the servant during the day. The young lady sat blankly by the bed all day.
She didn't want to go with him. Her health wasn't good from breathing in all sorts of aphrodisiacs every day at Fanghua Tower. If she stayed with Wei Ci for a while longer, she probably wouldn't last more than a few days before meeting her maker.
Fanghua tore a strip of cloth from her undergarments and was about to write when, with a loud bang, Wei Ci pushed open the door and walked in.
"What are you doing?"
There was nothing on the strip of cloth, but the fact that such a secretive thing was done for no apparent reason aroused Wei Ci's suspicion.
Who are you trying to inform?
The man grabbed Fanghua's chin, forcing her to look at him.
Nobody's a fool. Since Wei Ci asked that question, he must be suspicious. Even if he didn't do anything and just scribbled on the cloth, Wei Ci wouldn't let him off the hook.
The young woman turned her head away and didn't speak, not wanting to look at him. Fanghua had truly had enough of that face; looking at it again made her feel utterly disgusted.
"Hasn't Master treated you well?" Wei Ci asked.
His large hand gripped the woman's slender neck, his eyes bloodshot, as he coaxed her.
"I've been so good to you, I didn't mind your past as a prostitute and wanted to take you back to the capital, and this is how you treat me? Huh?"
Wei Ci exerted force with his palm, Fanghua's face turned red, tears uncontrollably slid down her cheeks, she tried to open her mouth to breathe the little air she had left, and used all her strength to pull the man's hand off her neck.
However, the difference in strength was too great; in Wei Ci's eyes, her strength was no different from that of a kitten or puppy.
"Then... I... thank... you?" Fanghua stared intently at him, uttering these words haltingly.
Wei Ci suddenly released his grip and asked...
"What do you mean?"
The young woman slumped to the ground, a few strands of hair falling loosely beside her cheek. Fanghua turned to look at him and said...
"No one has ever asked me if I wanted to?"
Wei Ci raised an eyebrow, looking astonished. Did she even know what she was talking about? He had brought her out of the brothel and redeemed her, yet this woman in front of him was actually resenting him.
Fanghua continued speaking
"No one has asked me if I'm willing to serve you, nor has anyone asked me if I'm willing to go to the capital with you!"
The woman, determined to die, stood up and stared at Wei Ci.
"Wei Ci, you are stubborn and self-willed, treating the lives of ordinary people like dirt. You drag your lame leg around and still dream of doing great things every day! Let me tell you, you're delusional!" Fanghua whispered the last four words in Wei Ci's ear.
wishful thinking
The man felt as if a thunderclap had struck his ear, and he kicked Fanghua away.
"You wretch! You ungrateful wretch!"
Wei Ci grabbed the woman's hair, dragged her to the table, drew a dagger from his waist, and plunged it straight into her palm. The dagger pierced through her hand and embedded itself in the tabletop, and Fanghua let out a wail.
"ah!"
"Does it hurt?"
The young woman gritted her teeth and remained silent, turning back to glare fiercely at Wei Ci.
So this was the true nature of the woman in front of him. Wei Ci felt that he had been played by her all this time. All her submissiveness, gentleness and kindness were just an act!
He couldn't accept being manipulated by a woman.
Miao Cuifang, perched in the tree, craned her neck to listen to the sounds inside the house, muttering to herself: "Oh my god, when are the people in this building coming? If they don't come soon, this young girl will be completely worn out."
The screams coming from inside the house sent chills down the spines of the Miao youth. Honestly, compared to this man, the people of their Miao region were far too kind.
The few young girls who weren't in the building today, along with Huo Xiaocheng and Erhei, dressed in black, sneaked into Wei Ci's residence under the cover of night, accompanied by several martial arts masters.
"Meow~"
Hearing the cat meow, Miao Cuifang responded, and the others followed the sound to find where he was hiding.
"He really knows how to hide," Liu Xu thought. Such a tall man was completely buried by the branches.
"Is that Fanghua inside?" Chunying asked.
Miao Cuifang nodded and replied.
“Yes, it’s the one who looks similar to you.” Miao Cuifang’s description, though strange, was not hard to understand.
Hearing the woman's screams from inside, Liu Xu tugged at her master's sleeve and asked...
"Master, when are we going to make our move?"
"Wait a minute, we have to wait until they set the fire on fire. We can't burn down the entire county government office; burning down just this courtyard will be a delicate task."
Fanghua's voice grew fainter and fainter, and finally, flames broke out in the backyard of the county government office.
"Fire! Fire!"
Hearing the servant's shouts outside, Wei Ci put on his clothes and went out of the room.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Young master, there's a fire in the backyard!"
"How could it have suddenly caught fire?"
Just as he was asking the servant the reason, a guard from the Wei family ran over and said...
"Young Master, the luggage is packed. Let's leave under the cover of night."
Wei Ci nodded, glanced back at the room, and gave instructions to the servant.
