Chapter 465 Fan Yong and his son return to the Princess's residence
Seeing that the matter was settled, Fan Yong didn't want to stay and watch how they divided his things. He put away his declaration of excommunication and his testimony, and kowtowed three times to Old Master Fan. He stood up and pulled up Fan Houyang, who was still immersed in a book, and said, "Son, let's go home."
Upon hearing this, Fan Houyang put the book away and let Fan Yong hold his hand and walk outside.
When they arrived at the gate of the Fan Mansion, Old Madam Fan heard the noise and ran out, "Yong'er, are you really so cruel?"
Fan Yong didn't want to argue. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, then pulled Fan Houyang into the carriage.
Yang Chengchen looked at Old Madam Fan, who was still trying to get close to her, and taunted her, "You, the Fan family, are truly a double-crosser. This is the first time I've seen a son being kicked out of the house and asked to hand over all his private property. How cruel!"
After Yang Chengchen finished mocking him, he rode away on his horse. He was a prince now, and he was not afraid of offending anyone. After all, with his father and elder brother around, who could do anything to him?
The prince and the brother Yang Chengchen separated from Fan Yong and his son at an intersection. After all, they had seen the excitement today, so they decided not to go to the princess's mansion to disturb her. Today was not the right time.
When Mrs. Fan saw Fan Yong and his companions leave and hand over all their personal property, she immediately went back inside. She was afraid that if she arrived too late, all the property would be divided. She completely forgot that she had come out specifically to keep her son.
Fan Yong opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the scenery outside. He felt a little relieved.
Seeing his father like this, Fan Houyang thought he was worried about his future property, so he comforted him, "Don't worry, Dad. I will earn money to support you in the future."
Fan Yong reached out and patted Fan Houyang on the shoulder, not wanting to discourage him. "Okay, then you have to work hard. I'm not easy to support."
"Yeah!" Fan Houyang nodded vigorously, and immediately took out the book that Yang Chengchen had given him and started reading it in the car.
Fan Yong looked at his son, who had temporarily become his patron saint, with amusement. He helplessly reached out and pulled out his book, casually placing it on the small table beside him. "Don't read in the carriage. Have you forgotten what your mother said? It's bad for your eyes."
Upon hearing this, Fan Houyang smiled ingratiatingly at Fan Yong and said, "Hehe, I forgot for a moment."
Fan Yong looked at his son who was acting cute and spoiled. In the end, he didn't want him to worry about these things at such a young age, so he explained, "Don't worry! Your father and I are rich, so raising you won't be a problem."
"Dad, you still have money?" This surprised Fan Houyang. The money he just gave was already a lot. Otherwise, those people in Fan Mansion would not believe it.
Fan Yong rubbed his silly son's head vigorously. "Who would put all their eggs in one basket? This is half of your father's property! I have made many contributions over the years.
Since I married your mother, I have moved all my private treasury to the Princess's residence. The ones in the Fan residence are only a small part of it."
What Fan Yong hadn't mentioned was how he could possibly have all the land and houses under his own name. Some of it was also in the names of his trusted aides. It was just that he hadn't spent much time in the Fan Mansion over the years, and what they considered to be trusted aides were different from Fan Yong's true trusted aides.
The most important thing is silver bills and silver. Who can prove how much he actually has? It's just how much he says.
Moreover, after he married the eldest princess, he gave her a lot. Now it seems that he was really smart, otherwise these people would have gotten it for nothing.
Although what Fan Yong said was true, Fan Houyang didn't believe it!
Fan Houyang felt that his father must be showing off, and he thought silently in his heart that when he got good things in the future, he must save more for his parents.
So Fan Houyang nodded perfunctorily to comfort his father who had lost a huge fortune.
Although Fan Houyang himself has no needs, he feels unfair for his father!
"It's really a bargain for them. They can get such a huge fortune for free without doing anything."
"Sometimes, more family property isn't always better. I'm afraid those people in the Fan family won't be able to get along well after today. A family with a divided heart is more terrifying than a lack of money."
When Fan Yong talked about this, he also wanted to comfort his son and give him some advice.
Fan Houyang has lived two lives, so he must have understood everything. He nodded thoughtfully, "Don't worry, Dad! With Mom around, Big Brother wouldn't dare to act recklessly."
Besides, my eldest brother likes to bully people at home, but he can still be very intimidating when he goes out. Who in Yuanjing doesn't praise the eldest son of Princess Funing's family for his poetry and literature? Anyway, he is a bully at home, and my second brother and I don't let him, so he can only hold it in. "
Seeing that his son understood, Fan Yong said nothing more. Any more would be seen as an attempt to sow discord among the brothers. Even if a conflict arose, he wouldn't let this kid suffer.
Fan Yong and Fan Houyang chatted all the way and soon returned to the princess's mansion.
Zhao Lingmeng, Zhao Houjing, Zhao Houming, and Zhao Zhili were all busy in the vegetable garden when they saw Fan Yong and his son return.
Zhao Lingmeng joked from a distance, "Oh, the money-giving boy is back!"
Fan Yong also joked with Zhao Lingmeng casually, "From now on, both my father and I will be dependent on His Highness for support. Can His Highness afford it?"
"Don't worry! It's just the two of you, you can support him as you like." Zhao Lingmeng didn't care about this at all. First, she was rich enough, and second, she understood the personality of the man next to her. How could she really give everything to Fan Yong, who was so cunning?
Seeing this, Fan Yong didn't go back to change his clothes. He just put on his clothes and went to the field to pull weeds with Zhao Lingmeng. "Didn't I tell you to leave this kind of thing aside and let me do it!"
Zhao Lingmeng felt that it was more fulfilling to do this kind of thing by herself. "What's the fun in growing vegetables without weeding them?"
Fan Yong smiled upon hearing this and agreed, "Your Highness is right."
Here, Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong were chatting while weeding in the field, while Zhao Houjing and the others surrounded Fan Houyang and asked him to talk about what happened today.
After Fan Houyang finished his vivid account, they all felt that their father had made the right decision. Although they had lost a large sum of family property, they had prevented all kinds of troubles in the future.
Especially since Fan Houyang no longer has to take care of the Fan family anymore, it's a good deal. Otherwise, who wouldn't be upset if an elder popped up every now and then?
At this time, all the nobles and ministers in Yuanjing had received the news. There were all kinds of opinions. Some thought it was a good deal, while others felt it was a loss.
But those with real insight felt that the Fan family was simply obsessed with money. Such a wonderful offspring had simply landed in their family's cup for nothing. If they didn't quickly cover it up and let the offspring escape completely, it would be a complete failure.
Regardless of what everyone thought, time passed as usual. Soon it was the day when the results of Fan Houyang and Yang Chengchen's examinations were announced.
In fact, both Fan Houyang and Yang Chengchen felt they had no chance of making it this time. After the exams, they completely let go. They were like homeless people, wandering the streets every day.
