Chapter 1479 Calculation
Only Mr. Liu Canghai, who was hiding upstairs, had a gloomy expression. He could never have imagined that the skinny and weak girl who called herself Qianjinfang Zhen was actually the ruthless killer Zixiu in the rumors, and the little manager among the mountain bandits was actually the big shopkeeper behind Zuiyue Tower, Fang Lihui, the head of the Fang family.

Now they are singing the same tune and want to use the news of Qianjinfang as the finale of Fang Jiachun Party. I wonder what the real Zhen of Qianjinfang would think when she finds out?
Thinking of this, Mr. Liu couldn't help but shook his head. He was a person of low status and his words didn't carry much weight. Even if he knew some things, he had to keep them to himself and take them to his grave. He couldn't tell them in this lifetime.

This was the case with the Huo family of Daomen before, and it is also the case with Zixiu and Fang Lihui now.

Awan and Mingxiang, who were not far away, saw Fang Zilan talking and laughing downstairs, and their hearts finally settled down, but they soon discovered Mr. Liu who was watching secretly.

"He..." A Wan was about to say something, but Ming Xiang's eyes were still on Fang Zi Lan. She seemed to have not noticed Mr. Liu at all, and said softly: "Just wait and see. As long as he keeps his mouth shut, you don't have to pay any attention to him."

"But what if he..." Awan started to speak, but was interrupted by Mingxiang, "He won't. Everyone has secrets. He can't afford the price of telling everything."

Awan frowned as if she understood, and didn't ask any more questions until the guests left and Fang Zilan said goodbye to Fang Lihui and went upstairs with Li Shengxuan. She couldn't wait to greet them.

"You're finally back." Awan said, and she climbed onto Fang Zilan's arm like a spoiled child, refusing to let go.

"It's only been a few days since we last met?" Fang Zilan smiled and tapped Awan's forehead. Seeing her dissatisfaction, she said, "Do you know that a day without seeing you feels like a long time?"

Fang Zilan nodded in agreement. "So, so many autumns have passed. If Master Fang hadn't reminded me just now, I would have thought this was the Fang family's autumn party, not the spring party."

A Wan curled her lips and was about to say something, but Li Shengxuan beat her to the punch and said, "Excuse me Miss A Wan, where is Xia... my Er now?"

"I don't know either." A Wan waved her hand, and then, when no one was around, she deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Didn't he go to rescue Master A Shi? Don't you know?"

Li Shengxuan's expression froze and he looked at Fang Zilan, both seeing a serious look in each other's eyes.

Logically speaking, if Xiahou Zhang had brought secret guards with him, he shouldn't have disappeared without a trace. Either his identity would be exposed, and he would be accused of failing to protect the emperor, and then the disappearance of Li Shengxuan would be exposed. Or he would rescue Ah Shi, and the streets and alleys of Suzhou would be covered with wanted posters...

No matter which possibility it is, it shouldn't be such a silent result.

Unless something had happened to Xiahou Zhang and the secret guard.

"Let's not think too much about it. What if we were just delayed on the road..." Fang Zilan stopped talking halfway. She couldn't continue with such a poor excuse.

Li Shengxuan hesitated for a moment, and before he could speak, he saw Fang Zilan's eyes fixed on him, "No news is good news. You must not act rashly at a time like this. We can't afford to lose any more people."

After she finished speaking, she felt ironic. She had been busy for several days but did not have any decent evidence. She could not even convict anyone, and instead two people, or perhaps more, were imprisoned.

After all, she didn't believe that Li Shengxuan, who was so meticulous in his planning, would only bring Xiahou Zhang with him. He must have other trusted people around him, but...

"I won't act rashly." Li Shengxuan said seriously, "We've agreed. I'll listen to you." "Master Fang, I'll say this one last time." Fang Zitong struggled to shake off Fang Zilan's hand, but to no avail. So she took a deep breath and shouted with all her might, "I don't want to see you. Get out!"

"Tongmei..." Fang Lihui stopped not far away from her, with a worried look on his face but he hesitated to speak.

Fang Zilan slowly took her hand away, the corners of her lips curled up into a playful yet sad smile, "Fang Zitong, look at what you look like now?"

Hearing this, Fang Zitong seemed to be crumbling as if he couldn't hold on anymore, but he still said stubbornly: "Does my appearance have anything to do with Mr. Fang? If Mr. Fang came to see my joke, now that he has seen it, you can leave."

Fang Zilan pursed her lips and said solemnly: "I knew it a long time ago. You don't need to protect me."

"Protecting you?" Fang Zitong's eyes turned red, "Who protected you?"

In just one sentence, she gritted her teeth and seemed to have countless resentments, but her trembling voice revealed her emotions. Like a little beast licking its wounds, even if it showed its sharp claws to defend itself, its wet eyes could not hide its fragility.

"No matter what you say." Fang Zilan stepped forward and grabbed Fang Zitong's arm tightly, "I will take you away today."

"Master Fang, do you know what you are doing?" Mrs. Pei was so angry that she coughed. "The soldiers surrounded Pei's house, forced their way in, and even took away Mrs. Guo Guo. No matter what happened, it would be enough for you to lose. He was dismissed from office, and more..."

"So what?" Fang Zilan interrupted her unceremoniously, "When this matter is over, I will leave it to Your Majesty's disposal. Until then, no one is qualified to comment. Including you, Mrs. Pei."

Her voice became colder as she spoke, "I respect you as an elder, so I will treat you with courtesy. But if you insist on blocking my way, I will not show mercy."

"Master Fang, how dare you..." Pei Pening's wife looked at the person in front of her who looked like a hellish Shura in disbelief. She had no weapons in her hands, but her whole body exuded the aura of killing gods and Buddhas. It's so overwhelming that people are speechless.

"Fang Zilan, you are simply lawless!" Mrs. Pei clutched her chest tightly and ordered, "Stop them. No one can leave Pei's house today."

"Who dares..." As soon as Fang Zilan spoke, Fang Zitong held her wrist, "I will do it myself."

"You..." Fang Zilan looked at Fang Zitong steadily. Her cheeks were a little shriveled, her face was almost bloodless, and her eyes looked big and empty, no longer as beautiful as before. However, there was an unprecedented firmness in his dark pupils.

After a long while, Fang Zilan said "Okay" in a low voice. She finally compromised, probably because she didn't want to see Fang Zitong dripping with blood while pretending to be desperate and struggling.

Seeing this, Madam Pei let out a long sigh of relief. Before she could speak, Fang Zitong said, "I didn't kill Duke Ran. I won't plead guilty, and I won't remain a widow. Today, I will cut off all ties with your Pei family. From now on, we can be strangers or go to court. It's up to you."
