Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1398 Helping Relatives

The servants of the Fang family were standing not far from the woman, all of them looking like they were in a dilemma, fearing that something had happened to the woman, which would not be cleared even if she jumped into the Yellow River in front of so many people.

Fang Zilan patted a woman who was watching the fun next to her and asked politely, "Excuse me, Madam, what happened to the Fang family?"

The woman waved her hand nonchalantly, "It's not a big deal. The Fang family has this kind of thing going on every few months. It would be strange if it didn't happen one day."

Ah Wan couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "This is the first time we have met. Madam, please tell us in more detail."

"Do you know Mr. Fang Lihui from the Fang family?" The woman looked gossipy. Fang Zilan and Awan nodded and said, "Of course we know him."

"This Young Master Fang is a well-known playboy. I don't know what the other members of the Fang family are thinking. Now they let a playboy like him be in charge." The woman said with a sigh.

Another woman nearby said, "I think the Fang family will be defeated by Fang Lihui sooner or later. A few days ago, a woman who looked like his mistress came and caused a commotion, and now another one has come, and she's pregnant..."

"What a sin..." The woman looked reluctant and whispered, "Just now I heard this girl say that she was deceived by Mr. Fang and got pregnant and was kicked out by her family. That's why she had the nerve to come to the Fang family and make trouble."

Another woman said indignantly: "What is going on? Fang Lihui is such a piece of shit!"

The two of them talked back and forth, and Fang Zilan and Awan roughly understood what they heard. They couldn't help but exchange glances, and they both saw on each other's faces that they would come back another day.

"Fang Zilan..." A Wan called her timidly. She hesitated for a moment and said, "How about we go back today?"

Just as Awan was about to nod, she was pushed aside by the crowd that was rushing to watch the fun.

Fang Zilan subconsciously reached out to pull her, but didn't even touch the corner of her clothes. She could only watch her being pushed further and further away.

"Awan!" Fang Zilan didn't care about anything else, broke through the crowd, grabbed Awan's wrist and pulled her out.

However, after she struggled like this, the crowd started pushing and shoving each other, and immediately someone started cursing and pointing the finger at her and the other two.

Fang Zilan simply took Awan's hand and stood at the front of the crowd, walking towards the gate of Fang Mansion.

She walked up the stairs step by step, dignified and steady, not paying any attention to the shouting and cursing behind her.

The servant at the door saw two women coming, one big and one small, and he couldn't help but panic.

But the woman stopped in front of them and said loudly: "Duke Fang Zilan of Yue is here to visit Master Fang Lihui. I hope you can inform him."

As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd around her fell silent for a moment, and then the noise became even louder.

"Is this the newly promoted Duke of Yue, Lord Fang Zilan?"

"No way! Lord Fang is actually having an affair with Fang Lihui. This is going to be a good show!"

"Didn't you see that Lord Fang was holding a little girl? Could it be her daughter?"

"Daughter, with whom? If that's true, it will be even more lively..."

There were rumors all around. A Wan couldn't help but look at Fang Zilan and said with contempt, "Do you think they have nothing to do? How old are you to have a daughter as old as me?" Fang Zilan chuckled, "You are quite imaginative."

Zhuge Yu sighed: "It really can't be underestimated."

"I'm good at fighting, Lao Cao is an expert at tracking and exploring, and Awan is even better at medical treatment." Fang Zilan raised the corners of her lips, with an obvious look of pride on her face, "With Ayu's planning, our trip will be extremely smooth."

"I hope so." Zhuge Yu smiled faintly and led the three people into Xiguan City.

After entering the city, the four of them hurriedly changed their clothes and then knocked on the door of Dugu Mansion.

After the servant at the door confirmed their identities, he led them to the reception room and said as they walked, "You are finally here. My general Dugu knew you were coming and has been waiting at the mansion since yesterday. He has not left the mansion even a step, just waiting for you to come."

The servant brought them to the door of the reception room, made a respectful gesture of invitation, and then went downstairs.

Fang Zilan looked straight into the hall and saw a person sitting on the main seat in a black robe, looking quite solemn and dignified.

His temples were dyed a bit snowy, and the wrinkles on his forehead were hard to smooth out, but they still couldn't hide his majestic demeanor. An air of pride emanated from his entire body. He was none other than Dugu Xin, the head of the Dugu family.

Fang Zilan took a deep breath, stepped into the reception room first, clasped her fists and bowed, "Fang Zilan greets General Dugu."

Zhuge Yu, who followed her in, also bowed respectfully, "Zhuge Yu greets General Dugu."

Dugu Xin stood up, bowed and returned the greeting, saying, "You two don't need to be so polite. Lord Fang is of the same rank as me, and Master Zhuge is your majesty's confidant. Dugu Xin accepts this gift in vain."

Fang Zilan stood up straight and said solemnly, "General Dugu, you are too polite. This time, Master Zhuge and I came to the Western Territory on the orders of His Majesty. I think General Dugu knows the reason, so I will not elaborate. If General Dugu has no other instructions, I would like to meet Fang Liren first."

She came straight to the point and spoke fluently without any hesitation, which made Dugu Xin stunned. "Master Fang is more anxious than I thought."

"I'm not in a hurry, but the sooner the matter is resolved, the sooner I can report to His Majesty and return to the northern border." Fang Zilan said indifferently, "General Dugu, do you have any other advice?"

"It's not so much about giving you advice, but Lord Fang is so young that I'm afraid he'll suffer a loss against a shrewd businessman like Fang Liren." Dugu Xin said this with good intentions, but there was a subtle hint of contempt in his tone.

Fang Zilan's lips curled slightly, "General Dugu, are you going to help me hold the fort?"

Dugu Xin nodded and said, "If Lord Fang doesn't mind, I will go with you."

Not long after, there was a creaking sound, and the door of Fang's house opened. Fang Lihui walked in and bowed respectfully, saying, "I didn't know Lord Fang was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope Lord Fang will forgive me."

"Mr. Fang, you are too polite." Fang Zilan signaled Fang Lihui not to be polite. "I have nothing to do in the first month of the year. I just came here to take a look and have a cup of tea. I wonder if Mr. Fang is free?" After she said that, she looked at the pregnant woman beside the beam.

Fang Lihui followed her line of sight and said calmly, "It's rare for Lord Fang to come here, so how could Lihui not be available?"

He bowed and raised his hand as a gesture of invitation, inviting Fang Zilan and Awan into the gate of Fang Mansion.

After the two entered the door, Fang Lihui glanced at the pregnant woman in front of the door and said in a calm voice, "Bring her in as well."
