Chapter 1403 Instigation

"Master, what are you going to do?" Mingxiang interrupted the master without any hesitation, "Now that my master and I are in Zuiyue Tower, everything we say and do is reasonable and legal. Master, please don't exaggerate."

"You are exaggerating?" The lawyer's expression suddenly changed. "You are a maid of Qianjinfang. Even if I put you in the government prison for questioning, what can you do?"

Seeing this, Fang Lihui was about to smooth things over, but Mingxiang stepped forward and said fearlessly, "It's true that I'm a maid in Qianjinfang, but I'm also a citizen of Dajing and I'm protected by Dajing. I don't know if the master is acting so arrogantly out of habit or deliberately trying to discredit Lord Yin and ruin the reputation of Lord Yin's parents..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" The lawyer was about to take action when he saw that he couldn't win the argument, but was stopped by Fang Lihui, "Sir, for the sake of my Fang family, please don't embarrass Miss Mingxiang."

Hearing this, the master sneered, "Okay, since Master Fang said that I made things difficult for her, then today I will..."

"Today is a clear and sunny day. It turns out to be a good and harmonious day. Why is this lady so angry?" Fang Zilan finished her words before she arrived. Although she walked slowly, she took every step steadily, making it difficult for people to see. Leg injury.

Mingxiang quickly walked to Fang Zilan and held her arm, "Master, why are you here?"

"Someone is interested in the news about my Qianjinfang, so I naturally want to take a look." Fang Zilan walked slowly in front of everyone and looked at the bossing master next to Fang Lihui, "This is the gentleman who wants to talk to me about Qianjinfang. Talking about business?”

The master's expression was stagnant. Before he could speak, Fang Zilan continued to ask, "But business is business. I don't know what my Mingxiang did wrong. I offended this gentleman, and I want you to embarrass yourself in public." Is she a weak woman?"

"I didn't..." As soon as the master's rebuttal came out, Fang Zilan stopped him, "Since this gentleman has said no, I will treat it as a misunderstanding. Today's incident will overshadow it. In the future, We just talk business.”

The master looked relieved, "Is this Miss Zhen from Qianjinfang? She is indeed sensible..."

"Your Excellency, you are ridiculous." Fang Zilan interrupted the master's words without politeness and asked directly: "Your Excellency, do you want to discuss business with me, Qianjinfang?"

The master hesitated for a moment, and then Fang Zilan said: "The Jianghu is the Jianghu, Qianjinfang acts according to the rules of the Jianghu. As a member of the court, if you want to discuss business with Qianjinfang, you have to abide by different rules."

"Miss Zhen, you..." The master was stunned, Fang Zilan curled his lips and said with a smile: "I guess this master can't make the decision. Well, if Master Yin really wants to discuss business with our Qianjinfang, you might as well invite him Come and see me in person.”

When she said this, she was looking at Fang Lihui next to her. He understood it and quickly spread the steps: "What did Miss Zhen say? Mr. Yin is busy with official duties. How can you see him if you want to?"

"Really?" Fang Zilan did not comment. "From what Master Fang implied, when the finale Dabao appears, Lord Yin will not come either?"

"This..." Fang Lihui looked embarrassed. Fang Zilan smiled meaningfully, "What a pity. I originally left a surprise for Lord Yin in the finale. It seems that he won't be able to see it." After she said that, she turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the master, "Miss Zhen, please stay. What do you mean by this?"

"Nothing." Fang Zilan restrained her expression. "When the time comes, whoever buys the final treasure will understand what I mean today."

Her words, which only made things more obvious, made everyone excited. Immediately, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and everyone was guessing what the three pieces of news about Dabao would be.

"Duke Yan is not Madam Pei's biological son. His mother was originally the daughter of a prince of the previous dynasty, but she fell in love with the then-married head of the Pei family. At that time, the Pei family was still unknown and inconspicuous in the capital city full of wealthy families." Xiao Xuan'er said, her expression seemed to be reminiscing, but more like regret, "The previous dynasty was in turmoil, and the head of the Pei family wanted to seek glory for his family, so he had the intention of rebellion and followed the then-most powerful Li family."

Fang Zilan frowned, "But at that time, Li was in the northern border, not the capital. Could it be..."

She didn't say anything more. Xiao Xuan'er said softly, "Master Fang guessed correctly. The Pei family had few descendants since then. The head of the Pei family offered his sister to the Li family in exchange for a place in the family. However, the previous ruler was tyrannical. How could he tolerate such a blatant betrayal? If it weren't for the mother of Duke Yan marrying down and protecting the Pei family, I'm afraid there would be no Pei family in the capital today."

"Later, the Li family took over the capital, and Emperor Tai'an ascended the throne. As a founding hero, the Pei family naturally became one of the nine nobles, and the sister of the head of the Pei family was named queen, who is now the Empress Dowager." Xiao Xuan'er lowered her eyes and said, "At that time, the capital was just established and was still unstable. It happened that General Xia Yunzhao of Baiyue led the Xia family army to surrender. In order to win the hearts of the people, Emperor Tai'an married General Xia Yunzhao's sister, Concubine Yu. However, the remnants of the previous dynasty still did not give up, and tried to assassinate Concubine Yu and sow discord between the two sides. It was at that time that the mother of Duke Ran appeared and died to block the knife for Concubine Yu."

Fang Zilan reacted, "So the reason why Duke Ran is Duke Ran is because his mother sacrificed herself to save Concubine Yu?"

"You can say that." Xiao Xuan'er nodded. "Originally, General Xia Yunzhao requested that Concubine Yu be on equal footing with Empress Pei, but that was left unresolved. Emperor Tai'an even changed Pei's title of Duke to Ran, forcing the head of the Pei family to appoint Duke Ran as the next head of the family."

She paused, "After Duke Yan succeeded to the throne, he worked diligently and was impeccable in his official duties. However, due to his mother's death, he had a deep prejudice against women in the world, believing that they were weak and incompetent, and even had no opinions of their own, and could be sacrificed at any time. Most people in the Pei Mansion were like this, so he had always turned a blind eye to Pei Poming's behavior. He never thought that letting it go would cost him his life."

"There must be something hateful about pitiful people." Fang Zilan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Xuan'er, "If there is no Lian Niang, there will be other women. Maybe it is Miss Fang, or maybe it is other people who can no longer tolerate it..."

"Master Fang, do you think Lord Ran deserves what he got?" Xiao Xuan'er asked subconsciously. Fang Zilan casually put the teapot on the table. "People will mostly lose to those they despise the most. It's just like that. It's a good thing for Pei Xiaoze. In such a big Pei family, he is the only one who looks innocent."

Xiao Xuan'er took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice: "But if Pei Xiaoze had married Lian Niang earlier, with a legitimate status, Pei Poming would not dare to lay a hand on my sister-in-law even if he had lustful intentions."

"This is the most ridiculous thing." Fang Zilan straightened her sleeves and said coldly, "The instigator actually became the beneficiary."
