Chapter 375 Reason
After Fang Zilan came out of Ouyang's house, she did not return home, but went directly to Fang's house in the prime minister's house.
After hearing her purpose, the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion apologized and said, "It's really a coincidence that my grandfather came. My grandfather went to the Duke of the Lord, and I'm afraid I won't come back for a while. The second lady closed her door to thank the guests, and I'm afraid she won't see you..."
Fang Zilan said in a gentle voice: "No matter what, please inform me, just say that I was entrusted by Miss Ouyang Zirou. If Miss Fang Er really doesn't want to meet, that's all."
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Please wait here, I will inform you now."
"Thank you." Fang Zilan sat in the front hall, and a maid came to serve tea. However, when the maid saw her, she accidentally knocked over the teacup in her hand, and her face was full of panic, "You..."
Fang Zilan frowned slightly. When she was in Fang's mansion, she lived in seclusion. Except for her personal maid, the servants in the mansion had little impression of her. In addition, for some reason, there is indeed another third lady in Fang Zilan. So when she came to the banquet a few days ago, the servants didn't react much when they saw her. This maid...
She looked up and down, but felt familiar. She thought she had a lot of contact with her before, so she was shocked.
"What's wrong with you?" The housekeeper rushed over and happened to see this scene. Fang Zilan was covered with broken pieces of porcelain, with tea splashing on her clothes, and the maid stood there at a loss.
"I..." The maid was so scared that she was about to kneel down immediately, but Fang Zilan grabbed her arm and pulled it aside, "It's not a big deal, just clean up. But you, be careful not to hurt you."
The maid then realized that if she had just knelt down, she would kneel straight on the broken porcelain pieces. She hurriedly apologized and thanked Fang Zilan, and then squatted down to clean up the mess.
Seeing Fang Zilan's expression was calm and not angry, the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Fang, my second lady is willing to see you, please follow me."
"I'm working." Fang Zilan stood up and followed the housekeeper into the inner courtyard. As soon as she entered the courtyard wall, she saw Fang Zitong's personal maid Dongxue.
The housekeeper stopped outside the wall, and Dongxue bowed and made a call, "Please, Lord Fang." After she said that, she glanced at Fang Zilan, but saw her looking at her and quickly withdrew her gaze.
Dongxue led the way forward and said as she walked: "Mr. Fang, my lady suffered a cold last night and was not in good spirits. She might have a temper. I hope Mr. Fang will not blame her."
"If a person is uncomfortable, he will have a temper in his body and heart." Fang Zilan said in a faint voice: "What's more, I haven't seen your lady before. I always know a little bit of temper. If there is anything wrong with her words and deeds, I won't take it to my heart."
"Thank you, Lord Fang." Dongxue's voice was a little more grateful. She took two steps and took Fang Zilan into Fang Zitong's boudoir.
This was the first time Fang Zilan entered Fang Zitong's boudoir. When she was still in the Fang family, she didn't like Fang Zitong's domineeringness and had few contacts. In addition, her concubine's status was low, Fang Zitong didn't like her, so Fang Zitong never entered her boudoir, and she had never entered Fang Zitong's boudoir.
Dongxue said carefully: "Miss, Lord Fang is here."
Fang Zilan looked over and saw Fang Zitong standing against them with her back against her, and she didn't look back when she heard the sound, and didn't know what she was thinking.
Seeing this, she coughed lightly and just as she was about to speak, she heard Fang Zitong say, "Dongxue, you go out first."
"Yes." Dongxue retreated and took the door casually.
For a moment, only Fang Zilan and Fang Zitong were left in the pavilion, and neither of them made any sound. It seemed as if the tranquility before the storm was uneasy.
After a long time, Fang Zilan couldn't help but say first: "Zi Rou invites me over and give this to you." She said as she walked to the table and gently placed the wooden box on it.
Fang Zitong slowly turned around and said with a blank expression: "I'll let Lord Fang go, thank you."
Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment. I wonder if it was her illusion, but she always felt that although Fang Zitong was not gritting her teeth when she spoke, she felt a faint hatred.
She was puzzled and thought that she hadn't provoked this young lady recently. It's impossible that her marriage to Pei Qingqing was related to her, right? But if she thought about it carefully, the only thing she had said a few polite words on the city tower on New Year's Eve was that she could touch Fang Zitong?
If you really want to say it, the biggest possibility should be related to Pei Xiaoze. However, no matter what you think, Pei Xiaoqing would not compete with Pei Xiaoze for a woman, not to mention that his original wife has passed away for some time. How could Fang Zitong agree to be her second wife?
Wait, Pei Xiaoze's original wife seems to have passed away from labor for a long time. The one who passed away the previous year was the second wife, which means there are more than one second wife, Fang Zitong...
"Mr. Fang is so tragic, have you figured it out?" Fang Zitong's joking voice interrupted Fang Zilan's thoughts. She calmed down and shook her head and said, "No, please ask Miss Fang Er to solve the problem."
"Sometimes, the most direct reason is the result." Fang Zitong moved over and sat down, tapped his fingers on the table, and signaled Fang Zilan to sit.
Fang Zilan sat opposite her and listened to her, saying, "I know how you view me. As long as you love others, you will not care about anything. I admit that it is true."
She paused, and a small curve was bent on the corner of her lips, "I originally admired Duke Yan, and I was just playing tricks with Master Pei Xiaoze, and I wanted to make Duke Jing anxious. Now, my goal has been achieved."
Fang Zilan took a deep breath, "Miss Fang Er, if you want to deceive yourself like this, I have nothing to say. I just heard that Ling Zun went to Pei Mansion, I don't know if he proposed marriage for you or..."
"Of course I went to propose marriage for me." Fang Zitong's expression became a little more impatient. She casually opened the wooden box on the table, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, "It's great, Zirou is indeed the person who knows me the most."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zilan's heart tightened, and her hands hidden in her sleeves clenched into fists, "Miss Fang Er, what are you going to do? Or what did the Duke of the Ninthians do to you?"
Fang Zitong lowered her eyes and stared at the sleeve arrow in the box, and unceremoniously sent the order to expel guests, "Be entrusted by others to be loyal to others. The matter of loyalty to Lord Fang has been completed, so don't meddle in other people's business. As for this gift, I will personally thank Ziru."
"But..." Fang Zilan wanted to say something else, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Fang Zitong stopped her words, "That day you were covered in blood, I knew that people were killed by you. I kept my secret for you, so don't ruin my affairs. If it weren't for you, I..."
She stopped halfway through her words, biting her red lips, and her eyes were filled with indescribable anger.
Fang Zilan looked at her steadily and said word by word: "Which day was that day? Did I fall into the water?"
Fang Zilan: The puzzle I encountered was like a ball of yarn. I thought I could be at ease when I was a cat, but the ball of yarn was getting bigger and bigger, and I was entangled in it and couldn't move.
