Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1317 Indulgence

Madam Fu snorted coldly, "The Crown Prince's wife is so curious, could it be that she and Ouyang Wei are not just acquainted once, but have a close relationship?"

Fang Zilan was not annoyed, "My sister Fang Zitong and Ouyang Wei's daughter Ouyang Zirou are close friends."

"If that's the case, why did the Crown Prince's wife call her Ouyang Wei like I did?" Madam Fu's expression turned cold. "The daughters of the Fang family are all well-educated and well-mannered. They shouldn't be so ignorant as to lack basic respect."

"I am different from my two sisters. I am usually rude and reckless." Fang Zilan smiled slightly, "Besides, I don't have to answer every question from Madam."

Madam Fu's expression grew colder. "Then the Crown Prince's wife should know that I don't have to answer every question you ask."

"Mrs. Fu, I hope you understand that you are the one who needs my help now." Fang Zilan suppressed her smile, "What I said before, that the entire Fu family must die, was never a joke."

"I am a lowly person and cannot persuade Lord Wei Mao. This is not a joke." Madam Fu said in a deep voice, "Is the Crown Prince's wife satisfied with this answer?"

"Satisfied." Fang Zilan stood up. "With Madam Fu's words, I don't need to consider anyone's face. I will just do it."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. Madam Fu's voice came from behind her, "Then I'll wait and see. I just hope that the Crown Prince's wife won't let me down."

Fang Zilan stopped walking but did not look back. If she wanted to compete with Madam Fu in cruelty, she should just walk out of this door.

But for some reason, there was a voice in my heart clamoring that I couldn't just leave like this, and I had to at least find out the hidden story behind it.

"How sincere are you, Madam Fu?" Fang Zilan couldn't help but ask when she heard her own voice.

There was no one in the world who was more suitable to compete with her in cruelty, but at this moment, she could feel that Mrs. Fu was not competing with her in cruelty, but was just stating the facts.

If in Mrs. Fu's mind, the life and death of the Fu family are irrelevant, then her move today would be in vain.

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Zilan heard Madam Fu's voice behind her, "Madam, how sincere do you think I am in saying this?"

Fang Zilan turned her head and looked at Madam Fu intently, as if she wanted to see something from her face. However, her expression was as calm as an ancient well, with only silence.

"At least five points." Fang Zilan's voice had no hesitation. Mrs. Fu did not answer, but stood up and walked over, then raised her hand to open the door.

"Please look, Madam Prince." Mrs. Fu said, raising her chin slightly and motioning Fang Zilan to look at the room on the side.

Fang Zilan looked over and heard Madam Fu say, "The young master of the Fu family lives there. A few years ago, I felt that Fen'er didn't know how to take care of him, so I asked for the child to come over."

She paused, "The child is only two years old and has not seen the dangers of the world. It would not be a bad thing if he went with the Fu family."

Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked at Madam Fu, "The young master of the Fu family is also Madam's grandson..."

"It's just in name only." Madam Fu interrupted Fang Zilan, "I have no children and I'm far away from my hometown. It's really meaningless to be alone in this big house."

Fang Zilan pursed her lips, and before she could speak, she heard Madam Fu say, "Now, how sincere do you think the prince's wife is?"

"Five points." Fang Zilan still did not hesitate. "If Madam is really as cold and indifferent as she said, why did her eyes turn red when she mentioned Ouyang Wei just now?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Fu laughed to herself, and after a while she choked up and said, "I feel it's not worth it for my sister." She looked up at the sky and murmured like a dream, "Sister, did you see it? What happened to the person who caused you to risk your life? It's retribution... It's all retribution..."

Fang Zilan felt a chill down her spine, "What did the Madam say?"

"Do you know why Ouyang Wei has been so cautious all her life?" Madam Fu suddenly turned her head and stared at Fang Zilan, saying, "That's because before she even got married, a sister in her family was beaten to death because of rumors about her."

Wei Yi snorted coldly, "Lord Liang Fang does not have the courage to openly challenge my Wei... Ministry of War." He said halfway and changed the subject almost abruptly.

Fang Zilan felt indescribably strange, and immediately tried to test him: "Lord Wei Yi, I am the Duke of Yue, and my position is much higher than yours. Your attitude towards me is not too much of an insubordination, right?"

Wei Yi endured it and said nothing. Fang Zilan said to herself, "It was Lord Wei Mao, the Duke of Weiguo, who saw me..."

"Shut up!" Wei Yi's face was filled with resentment, "That bastard, is he worthy of being called a master?"

Fang Zilan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She finally knew where her strange feeling came from.

Wei Yi is arrogant, not only because he is the Minister of War Wei Yi who treats the Ministry of War as his own territory, but also because he imagines himself as the head of the Wei family. His every word and action represents the honor of the Wei family, and naturally he does not tolerate others.

In his mind, the Duke of Wei should have been him, not someone of humble origin like Wei Mao.

Fang Zilan restrained her expression. Even if she said nothing more, Wei Yi would not be able to suppress the soldiers in the courtyard.

As expected, Wei Yi's words had just come out for a moment when the soldiers in the courtyard looked at each other, and then they seemed to be in an uproar, with every voice filled with dissatisfaction.

Most of the soldiers in the army were not of noble birth. In their eyes, the achievements gained through fighting with real swords and guns were far more important than bloodline and background. Even if there were only palace soldiers in the courtyard, they were no exception.

  What's more, they are the palace soldiers of the Wei family. How can they allow someone to openly insult their head, Duke Weiguo Wei Mao?

Wei Yi had the military token in his hand, so it was not difficult for him to mobilize troops, but if he wanted the soldiers to obey him, he simply couldn't do it.

Fang Zilan looked at the noise in the yard coldly and pulled Awan back to the door.

A Wan looked at the situation in the courtyard in disbelief and said, "How brainless a person must be to say such a thing in public? Is Lord Wei Yi a fool?"

"He's not stupid at all." Fang Zilan commented, "He's more like a madman who can't get what he wants."

A Wan pondered for a while before she understood what she meant, "Are you talking about the title and position of Duke Wei?"

Fang Zilan nodded, and Awan frowned and said, "But he is already the Minister of War. Even among the children of aristocratic families, this is a very high official rank."

"Human hearts are easily moved, and greed is boundless." Fang Zilan's eyes were full of coldness. "In your eyes, the Minister of War is an important official in the court, but in Wei Yi's eyes, I'm afraid it's nothing."

Awan couldn't help but exclaimed, "How could it be?"

"The Wei family has controlled the Ministry of War for a long time. Wei Yi is the legitimate son of the late Duke of Wei and the most favored of all the children of the Wei family." Fang Zilan said calmly, "In his mind, the Duke of Wei is a natural choice for him, let alone a mere Minister of War?"
