Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1365 Punishment

"Lan'er..." Fang Chong was speaking hesitantly, but was stopped by Fang Zilan, "Is everyone present for the gathering tonight?"

"You know everything?" Fang Chongzheng sighed softly. Fang Zilan turned to look at him and said to herself, "It will be easier to start now that everyone is here."

Fang Chong was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Fang Zilan curl her lips, a smile spreading across her pale face, "You don't think that I can do whatever I want just because I have the Queen's decree, do you?"

"Lan'er, what on earth did you do?" Fang Chongzheng felt a chill on his spine. He vaguely guessed what had happened, but couldn't believe it.

"Zhongling Temple is just a lure, but without this lure, we can't lure them out." Fang Zilan stroked the things in her hand, and Fang Chongzheng noticed that she was holding half of the token she had taken from Murong Qing during the day.

"You have already guessed that the Xiahou family would join in." Fang Chongzheng seemed to be thinking about something. Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "I can make a knife, but it is far from enough. In the southeast, the Xiahou family's knife is more useful than mine."

She paused, then changed the subject, "I think Lord Wu is also at the gathering. His sister, Wu Ying, is Xiahou Mingxun's legal wife..."

"Wu Ying may not know about the Wu family's affairs, but what about the Xiahou family..." Fang Chongzheng interrupted Fang Zilan, but was interrupted again by Fang Zilan halfway through his sentence, "You should know better than me that marriage is a union of two families. It doesn't matter whether Wu Ying knows about it or not, and it doesn't matter whether Xiahou Mingxun is involved or not. What matters is that as long as the Wu family does it, they can drag the Xiahou family into the water."

Fang Chongzheng remained silent until Fang Zilan chuckled, "Come to think of it, I've always been curious about why Li Shengxuan asked to marry me. Marrying into the Fang family won't do him any good."

"If the Fang family is really as despicable as you said, then what is it that you are risking your life to protect today?" Fang Chong looked annoyed and almost deliberately blurred Fang Zilan's question.

"I've heard a lot of reasons, so many that they sound like excuses." Fang Zilan insisted, "Until recently, I suddenly thought that maybe I made things too complicated."

"What do you want to say?" Fang Chong was looking at the person in front of her steadily. She said word by word, "Xiahou Yunzhao and Xie Chen, did you know who I am a long time ago?"

Fang Chongzheng was stunned for a moment. He had thought of many possibilities and was even afraid that she would guess the truth from the clues, but he never expected that she would guess this.

"If you don't answer, I'll just assume that my guess is right." Fang Zilan continued, "Whether it's Ji Ningtian or Li Shengxuan, they knew my value from the beginning..."

"Lan'er." Fang Chongzheng couldn't help but interrupt her, "Have you ever thought that when Li Shengxuan asked to marry you, it was out of love and affection, and what he did now is also due to love?"

This time it was Fang Zilan's turn to be stunned. If someone else had said this, she would have probably just laughed it off. After all, in the world of fame and fortune, talking about love is as easy as drinking water.

But when these words came out of Fang Chongzheng's mouth, the meaning was completely different.

Seeing Fang Zilan wavering, Fang Chong was about to say something else when he heard her say, "Perhaps, he was really affectionate back then, but it was all wasted in the end. Wasted in intrigue, power and wealth, and now, it's completely changed. There is no affection between him and me anymore."

"But..." Fang Chongzheng opened his mouth and was interrupted by Fang Zilan, "I am not a person who is content with love and water. How do you know that I don't have ambitions?"

As she spoke, her eyes were filled with sternness. "Today's measure is just a temporary solution. The Fang family will only be safe for a short time. From now on, I will be with Murong Qing. As the wife of the loyal prince of Miluo, I may not be able to take care of him. You, take care of yourself."

There was a knock on the door, "Excuse me, is Miss Zhen in there? I am a disciple of the Huo family of Daomen, and I have something to ask you." Fang Zilan's expression froze. When the person outside the door asked for the third time, she finally stood up and walked over and opened the door.

"What's up?" The sudden and cold words made the person outside the door freeze in place, and before he could even put down his hand that was knocking on the door, he said, "I..."

"Do the disciples of the Dao Sect Huo Family feel free to disturb others' peace?" Fang Zilan snorted, "I should have told Master Fang that no one would be seen in the past two days."

"I know that Miss Zhen is trying to avoid suspicion. After all, the grand finale of this Spring Festival..." The outsider was interrupted by Fang Zilan halfway through his words, "You know everything, why did you come here so tactlessly?"

"It's not that I don't know what's good for me, it's just that..." The man outside the door opened his mouth and said as if he had made up his mind: "There are some things I must know."

Fang Zilan sneered and looked the outsider up and down. The boy looked to be about the same age as Ah Shi. Although his green face looked a little immature and his facial features had not yet fully developed, he had an upright posture and exuded a heroic air from head to toe.

"What are you laughing at?" The man outside the door was a little embarrassed and turned his head to avoid Fang Zilan's gaze. However, she showed no intention of restraining herself and stared at him unscrupulously, saying, "The news about Qianjinfang is very expensive. Can you afford it?"

The person outside the door pursed his lips and said, "I heard that when you ask Qianjinfang for information, you don't necessarily have to pay money, you can also pay..."

"Okay, let me ask it another way." Fang Zilan interrupted the person outside the door rudely, "Can you afford the price?"

"What price?" The voice of the person outside the door became a little softer, and Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows, "Then it depends on what you have."

The person outside the door stayed there in thought. Seeing this, Mingxiang came out and bowed to Fang Zilan and said, "Master, leave the ordinary business to me."

"This is not an ordinary business." The outsider waved his hand hurriedly, "What I want to ask is not ordinary news. The master of the sect has asked Qianjinfang before, but never got a reply. It's rare that Miss Zhen is here, I want to ask clearly at once."

When Fang Zilan heard the master of the sect, she suddenly remembered what Huo Chun'er had said to her that night. In the operation to encircle and suppress the Wheel King Chu Bin, people from all the major sects disappeared, including the eldest brother of the Huo family of the Dao Sect. However, when the head of the Huo family asked Qianjinfang, he never got an answer.

Thinking of this, she roughly understood what the outsider wanted, so she stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly, "You came to me to ask about your senior brother?"

The person outside the door was delighted, "Miss Zhen knows?"

"I can give you an answer." Fang Zilan showed a meaningful smile, "The key is, what price can you pay for it?"

"What does Miss Zhen want?" The person outside the door couldn't wait to ask, and Fang Zilan's smile became even brighter, "Can you do anything?"

The person outside the door said without hesitation: "Anything is fine."

"Okay." Fang Zilan nodded with satisfaction. "I want you to help me do something. If you do it, you will know the answer when the Spring Festival is over."
