Chapter 773 Fang Luxue's Request
"Is anyone home? Open the door..."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.
Immediately following was a hurried and familiar voice.
Wan Qiqi's eyes widened in surprise, and she hurriedly walked towards the courtyard gate.
Doukou had never seen Wan Qiqi like this before, so she quickly chased after her and helped open the door.
The door opened, and a pink figure rushed in.
Doukou tried to protect Wan Qiqi, but Wan Qiqi grabbed the person who had barged in and hugged him.
"Doukou, close the door." Wan Qiqi led the crying person in her arms inside.
Doukou stood there stunned for a while before she reacted, then quickly closed the door and bolted it shut.
Turning back, she saw that Wan Qiqi and that person had already sat down.
"Xiao Xue'er, what brings you here?" Wan Qiqi asked cautiously.
She reached out and pulled back the strands of hair that had fallen across Fang Luxue's forehead, her eyes full of concern.
Fang Luxue's eyes were red and swollen, and tears were welling up in her eyes.
"Sister Qi, you must help me... I really can't think of anyone else who can help me besides you..." She was almost sobbing uncontrollably.
Even after Fang Ziming's death, Wan Qiqi had never seen Fang Luxue in such a sorry state.
Fang Luxue was now like a frightened rabbit, curled up and trembling.
"Okay, I'll help you, but you have to tell me what happened to you first before I can help you!" Wan Qiqi coaxed gently.
At this moment, Doukou served hot tea and placed it on the stone table.
Wan Qiqi handed the tea to Fang Luxue and said in a low voice, "There's nothing we can't handle. Have some tea and calm down, okay?"
Fang Luxue looked at Wan Qiqi, pouted, and reached out her trembling hand to grasp the teacup.
The water in the teacup overflowed due to the shaking.
Wan Qiqi glanced at Fang Luxue for two seconds, then quickly grasped her hand, her eyes turning cold.
"Feng Zhi, go. Don't come back until you find out!"
Her tone was cold, even tinged with anger.
Doukou had known Wan Qiqi for a while, and this was the first time she had ever seen Wan Qiqi so angry.
I had heard Wu Gousheng mention Fang Luxue's friendship with his wife before, but today was the first time I had seen it for myself.
She could tell that her mistress really cared about Fang Luxue.
At this moment, Fang Luxue seemed to finally come to her senses, no longer flustered as before, but tears still flowed uncontrollably.
"Sister Qi..." she cried out.
"I'm here, say whatever you want to say," Wan Qiqi comforted her.
Just then, there was another knock on the door outside the courtyard.
Fang Luxue would immediately become wary and fearful, as if the creature outside the door was not a person, but some kind of wild beast.
Doukou immediately became alert, grabbed the wood-chopping axe from the side, and carefully moved towards the door.
"Sister, it's me, Wu Gousheng, open the door..."
Wu Gousheng's voice came from the doorway.
Doukou finally breathed a sigh of relief, but dared not make any rash moves.
She looked at Wan Qiqi and asked if she should open the door.
Wan Qiqi nodded.
She never suspected that it was someone from the Tang family knocking on the door.
Because the Tang family members won't show up here directly, nor will they be polite enough to knock on the door.
A moment later, Wu Gousheng came in from outside.
"Sister Qi, what happened?" he asked as he walked, his gaze fixed on Fang Luxue.
Wan Qiqi glanced at him and gestured for him to come and sit down.
"Want to know? Come and listen."
Wu Gousheng sat down and noticed Fang Luxue's red and swollen eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.
He was used to Fang Luxue's arrogant manner, pointing her finger at him and lecturing him.
Seeing Fang Luxue now, he felt uneasy.
"Oh, don't cry. What can't you get over? My sister is here. She'll definitely be able to solve your problem."
Wan Qiqi: "..."
She really wanted to tell Wu Gousheng that if she couldn't do it, then Wu Gousheng should solve it himself.
Even if you have a cheat code, it doesn't mean you're truly omnipotent.
Even if you have your own space, you are powerless to change many things in the face of the harsh reality.
"Yes, tell me what's wrong, and I'll do my best to help you," Wan Qiqi comforted her.
Perhaps it was because the two of them worked together, but Fang Luxue finally calmed down after crying for a while.
She looked at Wan Qiqi and pleaded, "Sister Qiqi, please help my mother get rid of my uncle's control."
Wan Qiqi frowned slightly. "Explain in more detail."
“It’s like this…” Fang Luxue began to describe her life after going to the Tang family.
Her return to the Tang family with her mother, Tang Rong, was controversial, but fortunately, her grandmother would say a few words in her defense.
But she later learned that her grandmother's kindness towards her and her mother was merely a ploy to use her to secure better benefits for the Tang family.
The Tang family was a prominent family in Liangzhou, and some members of the family were serving in the capital, making them extremely prestigious.
Her uncle, Tang Bingfeng, wanted to marry her into that prestigious family so that Tang Qiwen could obtain an official position through marriage and thus boost the Tang family's development.
The man she was to marry was almost ten years older than her, had lost his wife early in life, and had so many concubines that they could fill twelve hours of the day!
As Fang Luxue finished speaking, Wu Gousheng angrily slammed his fist on the stone table.
"The Tang family has gone too far. How could they do this? Aren't they pushing you into a fire pit?"
As he spoke, he got up and walked out, seemingly wanting to rush to the Tang family to settle scores with Tang Bingfeng.
Doukou hesitated whether to stop her, but saw that her master did not react at all.
Wan Qiqi was furious about Fang Luxue's plight, but she also knew that even if she were to get involved, she would need to find a suitable reason.
Otherwise, not only will they fail to help Fang Luxue, they will also push her into the abyss.
Although Wu Gousheng was cursing and swearing that he was going to settle accounts with the Tang family, he stopped after taking only a few steps.
