Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1495 Return

"I've checked this month's accounts, there's nothing wrong with them." Ah Shi's voice interrupted the housekeeper's thoughts, and she nodded hurriedly, "That's good..."

"Have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare?" Ah Shi stood up and said, "Everything is ready, but I don't know..."

"There are some things that are not good for you to know too much." Ah Shi glanced at the person in front of her, and she immediately fell silent.

Fang Zilan saw this scene as soon as she entered Xunfang Tower. After not seeing him for a long time, the young man's eyes and brows became more gloomy, as if covered with a layer of dust, no longer as clear as before.

In an instant, she suddenly felt a little more regretful. Was it wrong to push Ah Shi into the Fang family?

"Master Fang." Ah Shi's eyes lit up when he saw her. He walked over, bowed, and said, "Master Fang, how are you? Since you are here, why are you standing at the door instead of coming in?"

"I'm just here to get Chu Bin's indenture, and I'll leave after I get it." Fang Zilan still stood there, and the light in Ah Shi's eyes suddenly dimmed, "Master Fang, is there anything else you want to do?"

Fang Zilan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not very busy."

Ah Shi curled the corners of his lips, raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and Fang Zilan followed him to the private room on the second floor.

There were not many guests in Xunfanglou in the afternoon. In the quiet atmosphere, Fang Zilan's stomach rumbled at an inopportune time. Ah Shi led the way and said, "Master Fang, you haven't had time to have lunch yet, right?"

Fang Zilan nodded, and saw Ah Shi push open the door of a private room facing the street. Inside, the table was filled with lunch.

"This..." Fang Zilan's face flashed with surprise, and Ah Shi explained: "I heard that His Majesty summoned Lord Fang to the palace early in the morning. I thought that if Lord Fang came here, it would be at least around noon. I know that Lord Fang always eats late breakfast when he is on leave, and I am afraid it will be the same today, so I asked people to prepare it in advance."

Fang Zilan pursed her lips and said, "What if I go back home first after leaving the palace and come back later?"

Ah Shi opened his mouth and swallowed back the words "You won't" that he was about to say. He knew Fang Zilan was swift and decisive and would never allow such a long and complicated matter to be delayed for no reason, but he also knew that the person who required her to go to so much trouble to fake his identity must be no simple person. He didn't want her to doubt him, so he simply didn't point it out and changed his words: "That's fine, it's just a lunch, nothing."

Fang Zilan didn't say much, she walked in and sat down, picked up the chopsticks and tasted the food, and stopped after a few bites, "Ah, are you living well in the Fang family?"

Ah Shi was stunned for a while before he said, "Very good."

"I heard everything you said just now about the conversation between you and the housekeeper." Fang Zilan's grip on the chopsticks gradually tightened. "I heard everything. You are now the housekeeper of Wanhua Tower. The Fang family..."

"Master Fang." Ah Shi interrupted her abruptly, his voice trembling, "Miss Lingyu is dead."

Lingyu? Fang Zilan repeated the name inwardly, and felt that it sounded indescribably familiar. Then she remembered that Xiao Xuan'er had told her that after Ah Shi took over Wanhua Tower, a girl hanged herself. Her name was Lingyu.

It caused quite a stir at that time, and Xiao Xuan'er even asked her if she wanted to say hello to the Fang family and take care of Ah Shi.

She refused after hearing this. In her mind, Ah Shi was the kind of bastard who would drive the girl to death. If she stretched her hand too far, it would easily cause trouble for Ah Shi. If others mistakenly thought that Ah Shi was able to gain a foothold in the Fang family because of her, she would probably have a hard time in the future.

But now seeing Ah Shi like this, it seems that Ling Yu’s death is indeed related to him... Fang Zilan took a deep breath and put down the chopsticks in her hand, "Ah Shi, are you willing to tell me?"

After the crisp sound of chopsticks fell, the young man's dull voice was tinged with bitterness, "I just want to know what happened in Wanhua Tower seven years ago. I never thought it would cause Miss Lingyu to commit suicide."

Fang Zilan's lips curled slightly, "Awan, if you want to go back to Guimen, inform Wen Ya in advance and see his reaction. Remember not to tell the young master directly."

"What do you mean?" Awan looked confused, but Fang Zilan still just smiled, "If you want to live, just do as I say."

Awan took a breath of air, "You mean, if you let the young master know that I have returned to the ghost gate, you will kill me?"

"What else?" Fang Zilan tapped her forehead with her finger, "I thought you had learned a lot in the past two years, but why are you so unclear about your own affairs? You bet your life on my life and death, just to be tied to me. With the temperament of the young master, do you think you can live alone after breaking your promise and getting rich?"

"You're fine, I don't think I gained weight by breaking my promise." Awan turned her head away and retorted harshly, but she knew in her heart that her words were very true. If she wanted to go back, regardless of whether the master agreed or not, the young master would be the first one not to Let her go.

"Little Awan, I know you were speaking out of anger that day..." Fang Zilan was interrupted as soon as she started speaking, "I'm not speaking out of anger, I'm really scared. There's a wolf in front of me and a tiger in back, how could I No matter what choice you make, there is no way to survive.”

"What's the use of being afraid? The way to survive is not given by others." Fang Zilan calmed her expression and said in a colder voice, "Since there are tigers and wolves everywhere, then either kill the tigers or the wolves, you can always find a way to survive."

Awan smiled mockingly, "Slaying tigers and wolves, can I do it just by myself?"

"Why not?" Fang Zilan asked back, with an almost matter-of-fact tone, revealing unspeakable ambition.

"Awan, from the moment we walked out of the ghost gate and stood under the sun, we were destined to fight." She sat up straight and said solemnly: "Fight with the enemy, fight with the same kind, fight openly and secretly, bones and blood, Fang Mountains and rivers.”

Awan seemed to understand, "They are all fighting, how is it different from us in the ghost gate?"

"With the sun shining, you can be more upright." Fang Zilan said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "The reason for fighting in the ghost gate is to protect yourself. The reason for fighting here is to fight for it. Isn't that how I came to talk about the power of one and two? ?”

"You still have to fight for the right to speak?" Awan put his chin on his hands and said thoughtfully: "It's too tiring to live under the sun, so it's better to go back to the ghost gate."

Fang Zilan came up to her and asked: "Little Awan, would you rather cower in fear and live in a ghost gate without seeing the light of day than risk your life and stand in the sun and take a good look at the mountains and rivers in this world? "

Awan couldn't help being stunned, and blurted out without thinking: "Didn't I gamble my life on you?"

"That's right." Fang Zilan suddenly laughed, "In this case, it's not up to you. You can only choose with me."

Awan glared at her and said angrily: "Why did I just fall in love with you?"
