Chapter 5 Farce
The most inconspicuous laundry yard of the Fang family has become the busiest yard today. Twenty lanterns are hung in every corner of the yard to drive away the darkness.
Fang Xiu looked at Fang Ming and the eldest lady with anger. The bad guy complained first, right? Then let's show some shameful things. Let everyone see how you bullied me and my mother these years.
How vicious you are.
"Mom, please don't stop me. We've made such a fuss today. If you don't speak clearly, who knows the grievances you feel."
The more Lu Yaqin is so forbearing, the angrier and more useless Fang Xiu feels. He looks down on others, right? He looks down on us, right?
"Yaqin, please leave him alone and let him speak!" Fang Jingwu was also angry. If he hadn't been worried about his identity, he would have taught Fang Xiu a lesson. He wanted to see what his third son could do.
With Fang Jingwu's words, Lu Yaqin no longer stopped her son, and could only sit on the stone bench aside and secretly wipe her tears. She looked extremely thin and pitiful under the candlelight.
"Have you ever looked at my mother in the eyes in the past few years? Just let her do the laundry late at night, and you will have to starve if you miss dinner? When my mother fell ill with a cold last month, where were you? Where is the Fang family's medical hospital?
How to do it, they said that the Lu family is in dire straits now, and it would be a waste to give the third lady medicine."
"This... I was busy with state affairs last month... I feel sorry for you two." Fang Jingwu became angry when he heard these words, "Drag housekeeper Liu from the laundry hospital and the doctor from the medical hospital. If
If this really happens, the family will deal with it!"
Fang Xiu saw Fang Jingwu's angry look and suddenly felt funny. You owe my mother so much and you think you can just deal with their family's problems?
"why are you laughing?"
Fang Jingwu frowned, Fang Xiu's laughter made him particularly uncomfortable.
For a moment, he really wanted to teach Fang a lesson.
So rude.
"Let's not talk about the eldest lady deducting my mother's monthly payment. Today, I asked the old woman to arrange for my mother to go to the back mountain to chop wood and feed the wild animals tomorrow. Tell me how you want to deal with them."
"You fart! Third brother, I think you are still young and must have been deceived by bad people." After Fang Ming finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and said, "Everything must be based on evidence. Where is your evidence?"
Fang Ming suppressed his composure, but when he saw the old woman and Manager Liu being arrested, his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
He failed to accomplish anything but failed, and he couldn't handle even this little thing, which caused his mother to be implicated.
"The evidence is right, today I happened to bump into Manager Liu and Grandma Liu planning this matter." After Fang Xiu finished speaking, he came to the old woman and Manager Liu and said with a cold expression, "You can speak for yourself, or let me help you.
Woolen cloth?"
The eldest lady gestured to the old woman and Manager Liu who were slumped on the ground, folded her arms, turned to look at Fang Jingwu, who was in anger, squeezed her handkerchief and said first: "Just tell the truth, as long as I am here, they can't rest."
I dare not force you."
The old woman wailed loudly and sensibly: "Master, madam, you have to make the decision for me. The old woman has been working for my wife since she was seven years old. When she arrived at the Fang family, she never did anything to disrespect the master or his wife.
Tomorrow is a family meeting. It is such an important day. I am really happy for my wife and the eldest young master, so I came to the laundry room to reminisce about old times and talk with my brother. Maybe I saw that the third lady was too pitiful, so I suggested that my brother take care of the third lady.
But who knew that the third young master has such a hot temper, he always beats and scolds her when he comes up. If grandma is at fault, she should be punished by the master and his wife. I am wronged!"
When Lu Yaqin heard what her old lady said, she was so clumsy that she started to tremble with anger, and finally started coughing violently. She didn't know what these people meant. They wanted to force the old man to cure the crime.
"Ahem, you bad guys! My son is innocent to begin with, so why do you want to accuse him? We both are like this, what else do you want!"
Lu Yaqin's eyes were red with anger, and her voice became hoarse under the stimulation of coughing.
"Yaqin, why are you doing this? Before the truth comes out, don't let your anger break your body."
Fang Jingwu, who was already feeling guilty towards Lu Yaqin, couldn't bear the thought of her hurting him like this, so he hurried over to help Lu Yaqin and use his spiritual energy to help her calm down.
"Go away and don't touch my mother."
Fang Xiu was also scared. My mother was not good at arguing with others, so don't let her get so angry because of this.
From beginning to end, it was him, the father, who ignored them and made their mother fall into this state.
Fang Xiu pushed Jingwu's hand away, came to Lu Yaqin and comforted him: "Mom, don't get so angry that your body is so angry. Your child has just become a spiritual practitioner. You will still enjoy the blessings of your child in the future."
This Fang family is not a sensible place at all. Why doesn't my mother leave with me? What on earth is she missing!
Before Fang Jingwu could get angry, he saw a group of guards wearing armor and pressing an old man with majestic expressions into the laundry yard.
"General, Dr. Liu from the Medical College has been pressured by us. General, please make it clear."
An old man in ragged clothes and a beard was seen kneeling on the ground. When he looked up and saw Fang Jingwu, the confusion in his eyes was instantly replaced by panic.
It's over, it's over, will General Fang find out that I am making money in the Fang family? No, I'm almost pretending to be a beggar.
Could it be that that good-for-nothing Fang Xiu caught me having a private meeting with the maid? He filed a lawsuit?
"Doctor Wang, tell me how you did it when the third wife of the Fang family fell ill and went to your place to get medicine last month. I want you to tell me everything. If you tell a lie, you will be responsible for the consequences!
"Is Fang Jingwu really angry and emboldened by his ambition? He dares to treat people of the Fang family like this.
Although Dr. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, when he heard about the last visit to the doctor by the third lady, his eyes rolled and he immediately kowtowed on the ground and shouted: "General Fang, there must be a misunderstanding. I just want to break my head."
I can’t even remember what happened last month. I am already very old and just want to spend the rest of my life peacefully. How dare I cause trouble? If the third lady really came to the hospital to see a doctor and get medicine,
Regardless of medical ethics or the status of the third wife, I would not dare to turn away patients."
Dr. Wang, who was very successful in various situations, lied with ease, pretending to be confused without blushing and out of breath.
Fang Xiu helped Lu Yaqin stand aside silently, holding back the anger in his heart and feeling his mother's trembling arms.
"Sir, what Dr. Wang said is right. He is already half dead. Don't let the misunderstanding chill the doctor's heart. I think there is something hidden about the third lady." After listening to Dr. Wang's words, the eldest lady suddenly
He breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly explained, "This matter needs long-term consideration."
Fang Jingwu didn't know what the eldest lady meant. Although he didn't know whether Dr. Wang had done this before, what he said was so perfect. He simply wiped himself clean and pushed the root of the problem back to Lu Yaqin and Lu Yaqin.
Fang rests here.
This seems too deliberate.
"Don't think that I don't know the good things you have done over the years." Fang Jingwu glanced at the first lady coldly, then stared at Dr. Wang and threatened, "Doctor Wang, I hope what you said is true. Otherwise,
If so, you will look good."
Manager Liu was frightened at this time. He had seen such a big scene before, especially the big scene that happened to him. He was trembling and didn't know what to do, so he began to make up an excuse for himself in his mind.
"Dad, I don't think Fang Xiu and his mother are happy with me. I can enter the Qi Refining Realm tomorrow. They must be jealous of me and want to use this matter to sow discord between you and my mother." Fang Ming
Finally, he thought of Fang Xiu's intention. Didn't he just want to use his becoming a spiritual practitioner to show off his presence in front of his father?
Fang Xiu waited until Lu Yaqin's cough subsided and stopped talking. Doctor Wang and the eldest lady must have discussed it. The old woman was playing the emotional card and slandering herself, making the situation unfavorable to him. Of course, the most important thing is Fang Xiu.
I don't bother to argue with them, it's no longer necessary. Anyone with a discerning eye can see who is lying. It's just that some people are pretending to be stupid.
It’s really not worth the rush for my mother.
"Today's farce ends here, but I will continue to investigate this matter." Fang Jingwu knew that if the trouble continued, the Fang family would lose face, so he added, "Yaqin, I have been sorry for you two for these years. From today onwards
, Lu Yaqin resumes her status as the third wife of the Fang family and moves back to her own courtyard. The monthly payment will be paid as usual. Tomorrow, two more chairs will be added for you two to attend the family meeting together."
Fang Jingwu, who had been in the court for many years and became the emperor's favorite, was no fool, so he had to suppress the matter first and wait until the family meeting was over to settle the accounts.
