: The Year of the Year

Deputy General Cao waved his hand, Fang Zilan held his cheek with one hand and said lazily: "Don't worry, I've prepared the gift I gave you long ago. It's only a few days before I can deliver it. But you have to do something for me before collecting it."

"Follow the boss's orders." Deputy General Cao was serious and Fang Zilan curled his lips slightly, "Don't worry, you'll know then."

Deputy General Cao responded happily, Fang Zilan ate, drank and joked with him. Mo Han and the King of Wheels gathered together and didn't know what they were saying. Shangguan Min looked around with his crossbow in his arms. After a while, Awan pulled Wen Ya out to watch the fireworks. Xiao Xuan'er and Cong Rong helped to arrange the plate and add tea... There was a festive and peaceful scene in the whole mansion.

Fang Zilan got up, put on a cloak, walked under the eaves, and stood beside Wen Ya, "It's rare that we can get together for the New Year."

"Yes." Wen Ya didn't look at her, her eyes still stayed on Awan who was setting off fireworks in the yard. "What else do you want to ask? You might as well ask."

Fang Zilan shrugged, "I didn't want to be so disgusting, but..."

"I know. Although Lord Fang is in a high position and is in the limelight, he cannot stay in the imperial physician order for many days." Wen Ya said, "Even if you don't speak, I will say goodbye tomorrow."

"Since you said everything, I'll ask." Fang Zilan leaned closer to him and lowered her voice: "Is the poison on my body related to the Yin-Yang spell?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Wen Ya's eyes, "How did you know?"

"I guessed." Fang Zilan said leisurely: "You said that this Gu is divided into the main and deputy, and this statement sounds very much like the argument of the Yin and Yang family."

Wen Ya didn't say anything, Fang Zilan continued to ask, "Do you know the Yin-Yang spell? Or do you have any relationship with the Miluo Yin-Yang family or the high priest?"

"The Yin-Yang family has been destroyed for more than a hundred years, and the only bloodline is the high priest." Wen Ya said in a faint voice: "As for the Yin-Yang spell, it is a secret technique that has never been passed down. Except for the High Priest himself, no one in the world can practice it."

Fang Zilan thoughtfully and said, "So this Gu was not made by you, but was from the hands of the Miluo High Priest?"

"I don't know whether this Gu was brought back from Miluo by my master. I don't know whether it was made by the High Priest Miluo himself, or after the witch doctor made it, he asked the High Priest Miluo to bless him with Yin-Yang spell." Wen Ya said calmly: "I only know the casting and effect of this Gu."

"Is your master?" Fang Zilan's voice became much softer, with a sense of indescribable meaning.

Wen Ya looked at her, "Have you checked me?"

Fang Zilan nodded, Wen Ya's expression was dim and unclear, "When will you find out all the people in the Ghost Sect clearly, maybe you will know the answer you want."

"Do you know what the answer I want?" Fang Zilan couldn't help asking, and Wen Ya said quietly: "I don't know. But there is one thing I haven't figured out - why did your mother die back then?"

"What do you know about my mother's death?" Fang Zilan's voice was filled with a hint of imperceptible tremor. Wen Ya whispered: "When the incident happened, a noble man in the Ghost Sect was burning incense at Baiye Temple."

Fang Zilan's heart tightened, which means that the so-called ghost killer was just to protect the noble man and burn incense? She took a deep breath and said, "Aren't we arranged the action in advance?"

"No." Wen Ya calmed down, "What is Baiye Temple? If it weren't for natural disasters, how dare they take action?"

Fang Zilan clenched her lips, and what Wen Ya said was almost consistent with her judgment, which was an accident. But what kind of accident could make the Ghost Sect killer abandon nobleman and even start a fight in Baiye Temple?

However, except for Ji Ningtian, there are only Concubine Shu and Princess Wu Qing of the previous dynasty. Who would be the one in Baiye Temple at that time?

"The snow has stopped." Wen Ya's voice interrupted Fang Zilan's thoughts. She looked up and saw that the sky after the snow has stopped is much cleaner, which makes the fireworks in the sky become more gorgeous.

"Thank you, Mr. Wen." Fang Zilan bowed solemnly, "In the future, I will never make things difficult for you, and I will try not to make things difficult for you."

"Okay." Wen Ya nodded slightly, "I have received the gift from Lord Fang."

"Sister Lan, Mr. Wen, it's cold, you'd better come in." Mo Han's voice came from behind the two of them, Fang Zilan responded, and Wen Ya looked at Awan and said, "I want to watch the fireworks for a while, Lord Fang will go in first."

Seeing this, Fang Zilan walked in and said to everyone: "There are no rules tonight, just have fun."

Everyone applauded and heard Fang Zilan say, "There is a custom in my hometown that I have to bow to my ancestors on New Year's Eve. Therefore, Mo Han and I left first and went to the quiet room to stay up to the New Year, and everyone would do it."

After saying that, she helped Mo Han to go to the quiet room on the mansion. Mo Han looked around and found a tablet without words in the quiet room, "This is..."

"The Buddhas are worshipped in the Great Jing, and there are quiet rooms for all the prefectures to worship Buddhas." Fang Zilan smiled, "You know, I don't believe in gods and Buddhas, and there are no ancestors in my family here, so I set up such a tablet without words." As soon as she finished speaking, a servant knocked on the door and sent a brazier and a response of refreshments.

Fang Zilan sent the servant and ordered no one to disturb him, and asked Mo Han: "What have you learned about this trip to Gusu?"

"I found the nanny who was in the Qin Mansion back then." Mo Han's expression was inexplicably sad, "She did have some friendship with my mother, but..."

He didn't continue to say that, Fang Zilan had a conspiracy in his mind, "Is there something else in the matter back then?"

Mo Han was silent for a moment before saying, "Sister Lan still remembers that my mother said that Miss Qin Xuan not only redeems their sisters, but also allowed their sisters to move into the Qin Mansion as cousins, and tried her best to promote the marriage between Mrs. Qin Ji and King Pingnan?"

"Remember." Fang Zilan nodded, "Did you find something wrong?"

Mo Han sighed, "Miss Qin Xuan loved King Pingnan for a long time, but King Pingnan had no intention of her, but instead fell in love with Mrs. Qin Ji. So her mother, Mrs. Qin, made a trick for her - to let her pretend to be friendly with the two sisters, and then asked them to enter the Qin Mansion as cousins. In this way, when Mrs. Qin Ji got married in the future, she would be married from the Qin Mansion."

Fang Zilan was stunned and said in disbelief: "You mean, Miss Qin Xuan's actions were all false, and her purpose was to marry a substitute?"

"Yes." Mo Han said in a deep voice: "Miss Qin Xuan wants to hold Mrs. Qin Ji in the mansion on the day of marriage, and she will marry King Pingnan instead of Mrs. Qin Ji."

"Whoever wanted your mother to remember the kindness that she never forgets was actually a scam." Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "If you have such a scheming, I think the Qin family of Gusu is not a good thing."

The originally celebrating the peaceful New Year has become a night of mystery-

Fang Zilan: It seems that it is difficult to have real peace before you find out the truth.
