Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1422 Waiting and Seeing
"Sure enough, it's not feasible." Fang Zilan curled up the corners of her lips, and the haze on her face was swept away, which made Hong Tai's expression stagnate, and a storm seemed to be brewing in her eyes, "Little beauty, are you kidding me?"

"Why, just one sentence, the boss can't stand it?" Fang Zilan's smile became even wider, "Then the boss, have you ever thought about how I can bear your little beauty's troubles along the way?"

Hong Tai was stunned for a moment, Fang Zilan smiled and said solemnly: "I am not holding a grudge, nor do I want to rebuke you for being frivolous, but since I want to cooperate with you, I should be sincere in cooperation."

"What do you mean?" Hong Tai became more serious. Fang Zilan said seriously, "I never expected you to be loyal to me and follow the footsteps of the people in Cangjian Villa, the Chu family father and son, and the second in command. If you want to help me, you can only be my partner, sharing life and death with me."

"Fang Zilan." This was the first time Hong Tai called out Fang Zilan's name in such a formal way. Even she herself was stunned for a moment when she heard it. "What did you call me?"

"My little beauty, when did you like to be a thief?" Hong Tai turned over lightly and sat beside Fang Zilan, blocking the wind for her without making a sound.

"Is it all resolved?" Fang Zilan turned her head to look over. Hong Tai squinted leisurely, "It's resolved. But this Lord Pei's life is quite valuable. More than one group of people want it."

"Normal." Fang Zilan said in an ambiguous tone, "He is a member of the Pei family after all, so he has some worth."

"A mere Lord Pei is worth so much?" Hong Tai raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, saying without comment: "Isn't the value of His Royal Highness King Yucheng even higher?"

Fang Zilan nodded, "Yes. Otherwise, why would I bother you?"

"It's rare for a little beauty to be so sweet." Hong Tai moved closer to Fang Zilan, "Just for what the little beauty said, I will work hard without complaint."

Fang Zilan slightly pushed Hongtai away, restrained her expression and said, "Let's go."

After she finished speaking, she climbed down the roof and returned to the inn quietly. Hongtai followed her, and the bloody smell on his hands dissipated in the night wind.

"You're finally back." A Wan leaned against the pillar and waved to Fang Zilan. She walked over quickly and said, "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

"Your little prince has woken up and is looking for you everywhere." Awan yawned unhappily, "I don't like his noise, so I secretly gave him some medicine. He will probably come to bother you tomorrow morning. But..."

She paused deliberately, and Fang Zilan asked, "But what?"

"The general surnamed Meng beside your young master must have discovered something is wrong." A Wan opened her sleepy eyes, "Even I can see that this is not the way back to the capital, let alone them? I don't care what you want to do, but the young master may not, and the general surnamed Meng is not an easy person to deal with. You should think about how to deal with them."

"You waited for me just to tell me this?" Fang Zilan reached out to gather the cloak around Awan's shoulders. Her cold fingertips brushed against her neck, causing her to shudder and sober up a little. "What else could it be?"

"If taking a detour delays our time..." Fang Zilan did not continue, but her deep tone was an obvious doubt.

A Wan pursed her lips and said, "My master suffered a lot to send me out of the capital. Now his life is in the hands of the young master, and he is the bargaining chip to order me around. If I fail to return on time and the young master becomes suspicious... From now on, I may not have a master anymore."

Fang Zilan said thoughtfully, "Is he really willing to take your master's life?" "Will he?" A Wan snorted coldly, "If he is willing to kill you, how could he be unwilling to kill my master?"

"It's different." Fang Zilan said calmly: "His hidden illness is only known by your master. If you kill your master, unless..."

He recovered.

"Lord Pei, long time no see." Fang Zilan's voice suddenly rang out, like a thunderclap in the middle of the night, leaving Pei Xiaoze unable to react for a long time.

Pei Xiaoze was stunned for a long time before he called out tentatively, "Miss Fang San?" Then he seemed to remember something and changed his address, "Madam, I am sorry to see you so late at night. What can I do for you?"

"I was just passing by." Fang Zilan said as a matter of course, but Pei Xiaoze's eyes showed obvious suspicion, "Even if the wife of the prince is lying, she should have lied in a decent way."

"When it comes to lying, how can I be as experienced as Lord Pei?" Fang Zilan curled the corners of her lips and smiled meaningfully, but there was no smile in her eyes.

"Madam, I don't understand what you are saying." Pei Xiaoze stood up and ordered them to leave. "Madam, you are already a married woman. You really shouldn't be here at this moment..."

"Master Pei wants to chase me away?" Fang Zilan sat down in front of Pei Xiaoze, "That's impossible."

"Madam, the Crown Prince..." Pei Xiaoze gritted his teeth. Fang Zilan smiled coldly, "I thought that Lord Pei had made some progress since he invited himself to the southeast, but I never thought that he was still so indecisive."

After she finished speaking, without waiting for Pei Xiaoze to react, she reached out and grabbed the document on his desk, "Sir Pei, even if this is a bad debt, it is also a bad debt that cannot be covered up. You can't make it up, and the Pei family can't make it up either. Instead of lying and making things out of control, it's better to report the truth..."

“Madam, do you know what you are saying?” Pei Xiaoze’s voice was a little trembling. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, “There are more than one or two powerful people involved in this account. King Rong’an has passed away. Even if it is just for the dignity of the royal family, we must leave a good name for him after his death…”

"Reputation after death?" Fang Zilan sneered, "That belongs to King Rong'an, not you. Pei Xiaoze, you are asking for trouble. If you can't even save your own life, how can you protect King Rong'an's reputation after death?"

"This is my business, so don't worry about it, Madam." Pei Xiaoze turned his face away. His righteous look made Fang Zilan feel even more ridiculous. "Okay, I want to see what you have to settle this mess, Master Pei."

She stood up suddenly, and before she could leave, she heard Pei Xiaoze say, "Madam, who are you so impatient about? As far as I know, this account is closely related to the Fang family, and there is also..."

He paused, "The bandits who colluded with the Fang family were also involved. As for the people behind the scenes..."

"If you have the courage, Master Pei, you may as well continue investigating." Fang Zilan glanced over, "But I don't know, who will lose patience, me or you, Master Pei?"

"What do you mean?" Pei Xiaoze was stunned, Fang Zilan's face was as cold as ice, "Master Pei, considering your old relationship with our Fang family, I advise you to do things within your ability, and don't take on things beyond your ability."
