15. Chapter 14(1/2)
Let’s settle down Xie Yao and his wife for the time being, and Jiang and his brother and sister-in-law gathered together to discuss solutions.
Without saying a few words, Mama Liu also came with a sad face and brought Fang Ze's words.
Jiang Qin raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Jiang stood up directly, stared at Madam Liu and asked, "Why did he suddenly make a fuss to this point? He doesn't want his biological daughter?"
Madam Liu avoided the important things and only said in grief and anger that Du Ying'er intended to harm others, hiding her master's ruthless revenge.
Jiang looked at her brother, she didn't believe Du Ying'er, an orphan, had such courage.
Jiang Qin frowned and said to his wife Li, "You can watch at home first, I will go to the Fang family with Jizhou."
Fang Ze is so decisive that Xie Yao must have offended him completely. Xie Yao defected to his home at this time, and he must explain.
He sent someone to prepare the gift quickly, and the father and son went to the Fang family without stopping.
Fang Zehan came out to see the guests with a face and said coldly: "If Mr. Jiang wants to persuade me to take them back, I will forgive me for losing my companion."
When Jiang Qin heard that he claimed to be his official, he understood Fang Ze's meaning and smiled apologized: "I dare not, she dared not, she took her daughter out of the mansion without calling her. If she were an inner child, I would be furious. This was wronged by the adults, and Jiang had no intention of speaking for her. Today, I came here just to explain to the adults that the Jiang family took her in was really a helpless move due to the in-laws. Please don't misunderstand what you should do."
Fang Ze's face looked a little better, and reached out to invite the father and son to sit down, sighed: "I know her temper best. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have come to this point, let alone let her cause trouble for you. Jizhou's wedding date is approaching, and everything at home is ready?"
"It's almost done," Jiang Qin replied with a smile, looking at him expectantly, "I wonder if you have time to have a wedding banquet?"
Fang Ze smiled bitterly, put down the tea bowl and said, "Forget it, I'm afraid it will cause criticism if I go there. I'll be spared this time. I'll be a student in the Jiang family next year, so I'll join in the fun again."
The implication is that he is willing to continue walking with the Jiang family.
Jiang Qin was relieved, gave him a carefully prepared gift, and discussed when he would come to move Xie Yao's dowry, so he said goodbye.
Fang Ze personally saw them off and watched the Jiang family's carriage go away. There was a meaningful smile on the man's face.
"Master, cousin is awake." The servant ran over and reported.
Fang Ze's smile was calm and he strode to Wenshengyuan.
When Du Ying'er was in a coma, the doctor had already treated her wounds. Such injuries were not easy to bandage, so Du Ying'er woke up and asked the maid for a mirror, so she could see the two hideous scars on her face clearly. She was arrogant and the most important beauty was gone now, and Du Ying'er angrily smashed the mirror down.
The harsh sound of breaking shocked Fang Ze paused, and he was sure there was no more movement inside, so he lifted the curtain.
"cousin……"
Du Ying'er cried aggrievedly when she saw him, and then she wanted to continue complaining. Realizing that her appearance was gone, she turned her back in a hurry, blocking her hands on both sides, and refused to show it to him. Her head was lowered, and tears fell like rain, and she cried out loud.
Fang Ze admitted that he was not infatuated with his cousin so much that he would not marry her, but he really liked this beautiful and cunning cousin. If it weren't for this accident, he would have really married her. At this moment, his cousin hid in the bed and cried pitifully. Fang Ze felt uncomfortable and signaled the maids to retreat with his eyes. He sat on the bed, did not force her to put down his hand, but moved the person to his arms, "Cousin, I know you are wronged..."
"Cousin, where is her? I want to return it back!" Du Ying'er looked at the mattress and gritted her teeth. She didn't want Xie Yao to die, but she wanted Xie Yao to taste the taste of life worse than death!
Fang Ze's eyes changed slightly, and he was silent for a moment before telling her the reason why Xie Yao could not be touched. "In the final analysis, this matter is still our fault. If the matter is big, it will reach my enemy's ears. If I don't work hard to manage my family, I will not only not be able to go up, but I am afraid that even this prefect can't continue..."
"What do you mean is that my face will be white and ruined?" Du Ying'er couldn't believe her ears, forgot to cover up her appearance, turned around suddenly, staring at the man in front of her, "Don't you want to avenge me?"
Her eyes were sharp, and the wound on her face was gloomy and terrifying. Fang Ze's back felt cold inexplicably. He knew that she was very hated. He held Du Ying'er's shoulder and whispered: "It's not that you don't take revenge, but you can't repay it immediately. Cousin, now is the time for me to rise, and I must be cautious in every word and action. Cousin, think about it, she will never be able to give birth to her in this life. As long as I send someone to spread the matter, she will never be able to marry again. Be an old girl for the rest of my life. Isn't this a revenge?"
He said so much, but in fact he was just a sentence, and he would not take revenge on Xie Yao again.
Looking at the man's fair and handsome face, Du Ying'er burst into tears, "She wants to be an old girl for the rest of her life, what about me? Cousin, my face is ruined, will you still marry me?" Madam Liu stabbed so hard and her wounds are so deep that she could not comfort herself that her face was still in danger of recovery.
Fang Ze couldn't bear it and held her hand and said, "Cousin, I've separated from her for you. You know my heart. But as an official, I will have to socialize in the future. My wife will also deal with other officials and ladies. Your face..."
"You can't marry me anymore, right?" Du Ying'er asked with a wry smile. Because her face was ugly, her tears made her eyes look charming.
Fang Ze couldn't explain why, facing such a poor cousin, he actually made some noise.
My cousin is only fifteen years old, her face is ruined, her body is still fresh, just cover her face with a veil...
"Cousin, it's not that my cousin dislikes you, but you are no longer suitable for showing up in public. If you feel wronged, be a concubine for me?" Fang Ze hugged the person who was crying more and more pitiful and kissed her head gently. "Although you are my concubine, in my heart, you are my wife. In the future, if the second wife comes in, she will only go out to deal with others. I still like you more in my heart and will also value the offspring you gave birth to for me, okay?"
Du Ying'er's forehead was pressed against the man's shoulder, unable to stop her tears, but she wanted to break him into pieces!
Xie Yao ruined her, and he refused to avenge her for his future!
Isn’t it that coaxing her to be a concubine, and that she has no choice but to believe that there is no one in her family and that she has no choice?
But she really had no choice. Follow Fang Ze, she still had a chance to take revenge on her son. After she left, where could she, a disfigured weak woman, go?
"Cousin, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you will ignore me if you have a newcomer..." Du Ying'er cried heartbrokenly.
Fang Ze was really distressed and promised repeatedly: "No, Ying'er, don't cry, I'll find good medicine to remove scars for you first, and maybe I can recover as soon as I'll marry you again!"
"What if I can't get better? How long are you willing to wait for me?" Du Ying'er raised her head, her eyes dim.
Fang Ze kissed her eyes, "Don't say anything discouraged, cure it first. I'll send more people out and I will definitely cure you."
Du Ying'er lowered her eyes and felt cold all over her body.
She believed his words, she was a fool.
Two days later.
In the house on the back street of Qin Wangfu, Ge Jin nodded after hearing the secret reply from the royal mansion, and went to the room to find his master.
Xiao Yuan was wearing a homely robe and was standing at the desk to draw a yellow oriole. A peach blossom on the rice paper was blooming, and the yellow oriole bird was not yet formed.
Ge Jin did not dare to disturb his master Yaxing, and stood beside him and waited silently. After the master put down his ink pen, he smiled and praised: "Young master's peach blossom painting is really good, it looks better than the ones blooming outside. It's just that a bird is too lonely. Why not draw another one? It's a pair and a couple to celebrate."
"I'll match you with it?" Xiao Yuan glanced at him and walked towards the washing rack.
Ge Jin laughed, bent over and followed, and while rolling his sleeves, he replied in a low voice, "Young Master, Xie Yao moved to the Jiang family and completely separated from Fang Ze. Du Ying'er ruined her appearance. Fang Ze sent people to search for famous doctors everywhere. It seems that he is really concerned about this cousin."
Fang Ze is the prefect of Xi'an, and when his master came, he sent someone to stare at him.
"Are you sure to cure her?" Xiao Yuan shook his hands with a frown, his expression indifferent.
Ge Jin smiled confidently, "I promise to help her recover from this kind of injury within two years."
As for the scars that last too long in two years, I am afraid it will not work.
Xiao Yuan nodded, "Give me instructions. Fang Ze will not be allowed to successfully discuss marriage within two years. If Du is there, don't tell her that she is pregnant."
"I understand, don't worry, young master." Ge Jin said solemnly when talking about the serious matter.
If Fang Ze does not discuss relatives for a day, Du Ying'er will not be able to take the initiative to ask for being a concubine. When the time is right, the master will throw out the bait. Du Ying'er will naturally become the master's pawn beside Fang Ze. Fang Ze obediently kept him. Fang Ze was not tactful, and Du Ying'er was enough to change Xi'an to the prefect.
"By the way, the Jiang family will hold a wedding tomorrow. Will you go?" Ge Jin asked curiously. Jiang Huaizhou invited his master in Mingyue Tower that day.
Xiao Yuan took the scarf and lowered his eyes and said, "Send a gift to you."
It was noisy, so he stopped going, and his friendship was not enough.
Ge Jin had already guessed this answer. After all, he would definitely not see the fifth girl of the Xie family when he went to a wedding banquet. The master was not the one who wronged him to do something he didn't like to win over. When talking about the gift, Ge Jin remembered the matter and his voice became frivolous again, "Young master, Miss Xie Wu wants to buy Jade Lotus Frost so much, why don't we send a few bottles?"
"Okay, let the Jiang family know that I am staring at them." Xiao Yuan said calmly, and after saying that, he went to the study.
Ge Jin stopped in place, wishing he could slap himself.
Even though he knew that his master liked to be slutty, he would not open the pot and would sooner or later break it down.
On the other side, Xiao Yuan entered the study alone. After sitting down, he did not read the news sent by secret whistles from various places, but was rarely stunned.
The fifth girl of the Xie family, Xie Lanyin...
He really missed her voice a little. It felt like he knew that there was a yellow oriole bird that sounded the best in the city, but he couldn't go over and tease him because it was from someone else's house. If he really went there, the "yellow oriole" would definitely be unhappy to call him, and the people who raised her would drive him out of the door.
The most important thing is that he can't do anything to openly steal birds.

Just as dawn, the Jiang family became busy.
Today, when the newcomer entered the door, Xie Lanyin got up early. She put on the red begonia flower croaker specially prepared for wedding reception. She also had a crabapple flower on her head, and went to greet the elders with a smile.
The little girl was so cute and charming that Li liked her so much that she pulled her niece to her and told her again: "After your cousin and sister-in-law finished drinking, remember to hand them the candy water, don't forget!"
The bride and groom drink sugar water, which means sweetness. According to custom, the sugar water is delivered by my sister-in-law. Li has no daughter or a cousin's niece, so he arranged the job to his niece.
On the day of a big happy day, my aunt was even more nervous than my cousin and had to explain everything several times. Xie Lanyin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will prepare sugar water when the firecrackers in the front yard, and I will never forget it."
Li touched his niece's head and was about to praise her, but suddenly she saw Madam Liu leading Fang Ling over, and her smile couldn't help but stiffen.
When entering the door, Mama Liu gently pushed Fang Ling.
Fang Ling wore a red dress, her parents were pretty good, and the little girl looked pink and jade-like. She dressed up like this very festively. Remembering her mother's advice, Fang Ling obediently said to Li: "Auntie, my mother can't go out, so she asked me to come and greet her cousin's wife. This is what my mother asked me to give to you."
A Feng Hong was taken out from his sleeve and handed it to Li.
Xie Lanyin's eyes turned around the peng red and lowered his eyes.
When Xie Yao was not making trouble, she didn't come to see her when her mother came. Now Xie Yao has requests from them, and she has not missed the etiquette she should do. She just wonders if Xie Yao will turn against each other immediately after returning to Hangzhou.
"Hey, why are your mother doing so politely? It's enough for A Ling to come." Li didn't want Xie Yao's gift money. Knowing that Fang Ling couldn't make the decision, he handed Feng Hong to Mama Liu and whispered: "Your girl is fine, I will definitely accept this gift. Now she has passed it herself and still brings her daughter. It's better to save money. They are all family members, so there is no need to pay attention to false gifts."
Mama Liu knew that her master was not short of this amount of money, and she was confident that she would live in the Jiang family after giving the gift, so she refused to accept anything.
Li looked down and stared at her, "I'll continue to pass my words to your girl. Could you still make decisions for her?" She was very busy and had no time to waste her time with a nanny.
After being scolded, Madam Liu didn't dare to take Qiao anymore, took Feng Hong and told Fang Ling to obey and not to run around, and she went back to report her life.
Jiang looked at his youngest daughter, "Lanyin takes care of A Ling, don't be naughty, you sisters, wait in the backyard honestly."
He pushed her to coax the child...
Xie Lanyin looked back at her mother complainingly. After being perfunctory with an encouragement smile, she could only accept her fate.
To be continued...
