Chapter 20

That old account book was made by Shuhuai himself three years ago. He recognized that there were two sets of account books, one true and one false.

The one that appears on the desk today is the real one. Many of the real account books have been reduced to ashes with the fire in the Xu family. The one that appears now is one and only one, and he took it to the Jade Palace back then.

Beijing, used to threaten Wang Yanqing.

At that time, he didn't care about the whereabouts of this account book. The overall situation had been decided, and an account book could not threaten him.

But now, it was put in front of Xu Miaoyin as evidence.

The only one who can do this is Fang Zhiyuan. What exactly does he want to do?

What Fang Zhiyuan did would only remind Xu Miaoyin of everything. Why would he do this?

After Fang Zhiyuan came out of the study, he went straight to Lanyin Academy. A huge feeling of fear enveloped him, but when he walked to the door of Lanyin Academy, he gradually calmed down.

If Xu Miaoyin had already remembered, she would never have reacted like this and she could still treat him as usual.

She marked the ledger and reminded him to read it, just to test herself.

In other words, she just knew that the account books were fake and doubted his identity.

Fang Shuhuai lingered at the gate of Lanyin Academy, but he couldn't muster the courage to take a step forward. He had a lot of thoughts in his heart. The most important thing now was to find out the person who was inserted by Fang Zhiyuan and understand what his purpose was.

Gritting his teeth, Fang Shuhuai glanced at Lanyin Academy again, turned around and returned to Minghui Hall.

When he finds out that person, he will come to see her again.

Yuqiu came out of the house and happened to see Fang Shuhuai's back as he turned to leave. Then he looked at the closed door of the inner room. What happened to the master and the girl? One had the door closed tightly, and the other did not enter.

Fang Shuhuai returned to the study room in Minghuitang.

Chen Fengling didn't leave. When she saw Fang Shuhuai walking into the study with a gloomy face, she didn't dare to ask any more questions. At this time, it was best not to tease the tiger's beard.

Fang Shuhuai entered the study room, and Qiao Zhi followed suit. He ordered Qiao Zhi to close the door. Fang Shuhuai said coldly, "Who sent the account books to Lanyin Academy during this period?"

Qiao Zhi said: "Xu Ming sorted it out and handed it over to the Lanyin Courtyard by the boy from Minghui Hall."

Qiao Zhi stood respectfully and raised his eyes to look at Fang Shuhuai who looked above him with a cold expression. His heart trembled and he did not dare to look again.

No wonder Chen Fengling stood beside her calmly. It seems that the master is in a bad mood today. I wonder what happened?

"Here comes someone." Fang Shuhuai said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black appeared in the study.

"Go and bring that boy and Xu Ming." Fang Shuhuai ordered.

The man in black took the order and left, and the study suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

I don’t know how long it took, but the man in black returned to the study alone and reported: “Master, that boy is dead and Xu Ming has not been found.”

When Fang Shuhuai heard this, his face turned a little colder, he snorted coldly and said, "Go and call Shadow."

The man in black took the order and went away. Fang Shuhuai glanced at Chen Fengling and Qiao Zhi and said nothing, but the two men's hair stood up because of that light glance.

Both of them honestly acted like quails.

After a while, the shadow also came. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground and said: "Master, the dead boy was the shadow guard of the Bingzi number. Xu Ming was the shadow guard of the Dingzi number. His subordinates searched his

In the room, his mask, Xu Ming's mask, and the T-shaped token were found. If my subordinates guessed correctly, the shadow guard named Ding was also dead, and now there is someone else pretending to be Xu Ming.

"

Fang Shuhuai laughed angrily, looked at the three of them and sneered: "That's great. When did an outsider sneak into the house, you three didn't notice it at all."

Chen Fengling and Qiao Zhi also knelt down, and the three of them said in unison: "I know my mistake."

Fang Shuhuai had a gloomy face, but didn't say anything else. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then ordered in a cold voice: "Shadow, go and check everyone carefully. If there is anyone with different intentions, kill them on the spot."

The shadow took the order and left.

Fang Shuhuai looked down at the two people kneeling on the ground and did not speak again, but they felt invisible pressure.

Fang Shuhuai leaned back in his armchair, thought over what happened today, and asked, "When Xu Ming and his wife came into contact, could you clearly hear what they said?"

Chen Fengling said: "The secret guard said that Xu Ming just pulled the lady who was about to fall and asked her to be careful, and didn't say anything."

Hearing this, Fang Shuhuai looked at Qiao Zhi and asked, "Qiao Zhi, what about you?"

Qiao Zhi thought about it, and his heart froze. There was indeed one thing that he had not reported. Now that he thought about it, it was indeed his negligence.

Feeling a little uneasy, I gritted my teeth and reported: "Xu Ming had contact with his wife alone in the study. They spoke too quietly, and the secret guard did not hear what they said. I did not doubt Xu Ming at that time, so this matter

I haven’t reported it yet.”

The study became eerily quiet for a moment, and Fang Shuhuai just kept staring at Qiao Zhi without saying anything.

Qiao Zhi felt a murderous aura lingering around him, which almost made his kneeling legs tremble. He could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Fang Shuhuai stood up from the armchair, walked to Qiao Zhi, and said softly: "Qiao Zhi, please go. This is my last tolerance for you."

After Fang Shuhuai said this, he went straight out of the study.

In the study, Qiao Zhi had collapsed on the ground. For a moment, he even felt that Fang Shuhuai was going to kill him, but what he said before leaving made Qiao Zhi feel like he was facing an abyss.

Chen Fengling stood up and patted Qiao Zhi on the shoulder, sighed softly, and left the study.

Fang Shuhuai walked very slowly, but no matter how slowly he walked, he still returned to Lanyin Academy.

The sun was already setting in the west, and in Lanyin Courtyard only the corridors were shining with mottled light and shadow, as if his mood had become much darker.

He looked around the courtyard, but there was no one there. He walked into Lanyin Courtyard, but didn't hear a single sound.

He looked at the closed door, a little afraid to move forward. He was a little afraid to face Xu Miaoyin now.

With a "squeak" sound, the closed door opened. Xu Miaoyin stood inside the door, looking at Fang Shuhuai who was a few steps away from her, and said lightly: "Come in."

After saying that, she turned around and went back to the inner room, sitting on the soft couch and waiting for Fang Shuhuai.

Fang Shuhuai walked in slowly and closed the door to the inner room, but did not dare to take a step closer to her.

Xu Miaoyin turned her head to look at his panic-stricken look, and sneered in her heart, saying sarcastically: "Since Mr. Fang has the courage to enter my Xu family as his son-in-law alone, why do you have to pretend to be like this now?"

Fang Shuhuai wanted to explain, but suddenly stopped and looked at her with his lips pursed.

Xu Miaoyin looked at his aggrieved eyebrows and burst into tears. Did he think that if he looked at her with such an expression, she would become soft-hearted?

She turned her head away, not looking at him again, and said coldly: "Who else are you trying to deceive with such an expression, me or yourself?"

She closed her eyes, then turned to look at him, "You deliberately entered the Xu family, and you got the property. I don't want to argue with you anymore. I just ask you to leave the Xu family and take your thoughts with you."

Go far away from what you want, and I don’t want to see you again.”

Fang Shuhuai was stunned for a moment, then slowly approached her and wanted to hold her hand, but Xu Miaoyin waved her away.

"You don't want me anymore?" Fang Shuhuai looked at his hand that was waved away and said blankly.

Xu Miaoyin mocked: "How long do you want to pretend?"

Fang Shuhuai looked at her tenderly, "Miaomiao, I'm not pretending. I treat you sincerely. I know I was wrong. You believe me."

Xu Miaoyin smiled at him, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She said coldly: "You are trying to seize my Xu family's property. If someone hadn't reminded me, I would still be in the dark. Will you do it then?"

Are you going to kill my father and wipe out the Xu family?"

She stood up and approached him, and said: "You said you wanted me to believe you, then tell me who you are? Why do you have to keep an eye on our Xu family?"

Fang Shuhuai didn't take a step back. He watched her step by step approaching him with stern eyes, and felt his heart tremble.

It wasn't until she stood still in front of him that he made up his mind.

He had always hoped that she could regain her memory, but was also afraid that she would regain her memory, so he had been avoiding her. When he saw her speaking so harshly to him, the dull pain in his heart became stronger and stronger.

He also wanted her to be an ordinary couple with her like before.

He had done many wrong things in the past, and he would beg for her forgiveness, hoping that she would never leave him again.

Now she hasn't remembered what happened after the fire, so as long as she can't remember it, he will still have room to turn around.

As long as she thinks those tragedies haven't happened yet and her relatives haven't died yet, then what's the point of pretending for the rest of her life?

Lu Shifang must have a way to seal her memory forever. Yes, he can seal her memory so that she will never leave him.

Crazy thoughts gradually arose in Fang Shuhuai's heart, and his eyes lit up more and more because of his crazy thoughts.

"Miaomiao, as long as you don't think about leaving me, I can tell you everything. Come, let's sit down and I'll tell you slowly."

Fang Shuhuai tried to pull her with trembling hands, but she sided away and no longer faced him.

Fang Shuhuai smiled and said flatteringly: "Okay, let's just say this."

"My name is Xiao Qi. My mother's surname is Fang. My maternal grandfather was a general in Taiyuan. Because of the defeat in the battle, the Fang family was confiscated and the female family members were sent to Yeting as slaves. One time, my mother went to deliver a change of clothes.

, was caught by the drunken father, so he took her by force, and then I was born, and then my mother was taken into the palace."

Xu Miaoyin slowly turned her head to look at him, her eyes full of disbelief.

Fang Shuhuai took advantage of her daze, took her hand, held it firmly, and continued: "My father had many concubines, and my mother was forgotten by him in a blink of an eye. Because she was pregnant with me, she was feared by others.

I was framed and was thrown into the cold palace. I was born in the cold palace. I never had a name after I was born. It wasn’t until a year later that I got my own name, and it was given by one of my father’s favorite concubines.”

He smiled self-deprecatingly, as if immersed in his own memories, "The life in the cold palace was not easy, not to mention that my mother still took me with her. We, mother and son, had been living together for five years, and my mother's health was getting worse and worse.
