Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1533 Hesitation

Fang Zilan said calmly: "It's a threat."

Before she finished her words, Murong Qing suddenly remembered her first reaction when she saw the gold-inlaid jade - it was something from the Western Regions.

"Duke Xianyue... has an old relationship with Persia?" Murong Qing asked tentatively. Fang Zilan did not answer but asked, "Why does the prince think it is Persia?"

"Vanus, the daughter of the head of the Sassan family, was rescued by Duke Xianyue." Murong Qing stared at Fang Zilan, as if trying to see something from her face, but there was still no expression on her face.

"Since the prince is so curious, I might as well give him some hints." Fang Zilan's tone was a little teasing, but Murong Qing didn't care. "Please teach me, sister."

"Beyond the Western Regions, there are not only the covetous Western countries, but also the rampant bandits." Fang Zilan said in a lower voice, "But these two have never appeared at the same time."

"Sister suspects the Dugu family..." Murong Qing did not continue. After all, whether it was collaborating with the enemy or collaborating with bandits, it was a heinous crime, let alone a family that guarded the border?

"It's not suspicion." Fang Zilan's voice was very soft, and Murong Qing didn't hear it clearly. "What did sister say?"

"I will not go to the court hearing these days, and Awan will not go either, so as not to be implicated." Fang Zilan said loudly, "We will talk about it after we get a response from the Dugu family."

"But if my sister is absent suddenly, it will inevitably arouse people's suspicion." Murong Qing frowned, Fang Zilan curled her lips, "I am going to listen to the lecture on behalf of the Fang family. As long as someone from the Fang family is present, what does it matter whether I am there or not?"

Murong Qing did not speak, Fang Zilan's smile became wider, "My father and second sister are unwilling to show up recently, so I can only trouble you, the son-in-law of the Fang family, to listen in on this matter."

"Me?" Murong Qing was speechless for a moment, "Sister, aren't you afraid that I will become a living target in court?"

"Those dirty things were done by Mr. Zuo. What does the prince have to do with it?" Fang Zilan said as if it was a matter of course. Murong Qing clenched her hands into fists in her sleeves. Before she could say anything, she heard her say, "Could it be that the prince was also involved?"

"Of course... no." Murong Qing said each word very harshly. Fang Zilan pretended to be polite and let out a long sigh, "Then I feel relieved. After all, the letters proving the prince's innocence were all written by me, and I don't want to be charged with perjury."

Murong Qing's expression was gloomy and unclear. Fang Zilan took a step back to advance, "If the prince really doesn't want to, I can't force him..."

"I'll go on behalf of my sister." Murong Qing interrupted Fang Zilan's words. She took advantage of the situation and acted like a good girl. "Thank you, Prince." After she said that, she grabbed Murong Qing's wrist and went back with him.

Fang Zilan looked at her carefully and suddenly found that Mrs. Fu was 70% similar to Ouyang Wei whom she had met before.

Could it be that Madam Fu and Ouyang Wei are sisters? Fang Zilan was thinking this when she heard Madam Fu say, "Madam, I heard that Lord Zhuge came to the mansion on the orders of His Royal Highness Prince Yucheng. I wonder whose orders you came on?"

Fang Zilan did not answer but asked, "Madam, whose orders do you think I followed?"

"Madam, since you have married into the Prince Zhongzheng's Mansion in Miluo, you have nothing to do with Dajing anymore." Madam Fu said sarcastically, "Why bother with so much effort? Be careful not to get yourself into trouble."

Fang Zilan was not annoyed. "Hearing what Madam Fu said, I guess she also thinks that I came here on the orders of King Yucheng?"

Madam Fu did not speak, but her attitude was clearly saying "Isn't it?" Seeing this, Fang Zilan said directly, "His Royal Highness Prince Yucheng did not ask me to do anything. I came here to ask you a question." Madam Fu sneered, "What the Crown Prince's wife said is very interesting. You and I are just women hiding in the boudoir. What can His Royal Highness Prince Yucheng ask of you?"

"Mrs. Fu, I came here today just to ask you a question." Fang Zilan raised her hand and lightly frowned, impatiently asking, "Will the Wei family intervene in the Fu Congnan case?"

"The Crown Prince's wife thinks too highly of me." Madam Fu shook her head. "How can I know what Wei thinks?"

Fang Zilan looked at Madam Fu steadily for a long while before she said, "It seems that Madam is unwilling to tell me the truth. In this case, there is no need for me to waste my efforts. From now on, the life and death of the entire Fu family will be…"

She deliberately dragged out the words, and Madam Fu sneered, "How can the wife of the Crown Prince decide the life and death of the entire Fu family? Even if His Royal Highness Prince Yucheng obeys your orders, you can't do such things as confiscate the family property and exterminate the clan..."

"I don't know whether the entire Fu family is dead or alive, and what His Royal Highness Prince Yucheng is thinking." Fang Zilan interrupted Madam Fu and said word by word: "But I want the entire Fu family to die."

"The Crown Prince's wife is so arrogant!" Madam Fu slammed the table, and the teacup on the table shook, making a crisp sound, as if she was dissatisfied with her host.

"The Fang family has always been protective of their shortcomings, and I am the worst among them." Fang Zilan curled her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes, and her tone was chilling, "Fu Congnan severely injured my cousin Lihui, so I will not let him off."

Mrs. Fu blurted out subconsciously: "That's Fu Congnan's business. What does it have to do with the entire Fu family?"

"My cousin Lihui's limbs are crippled, and he will have to stay in bed for the rest of his life." Fang Zilan tapped the table with her fingers and said calmly, "How can a mere Fu Congnan afford to compensate for such a loss?"

"Does what you say count?" Madam Fu glared at me. "Now that your father is no longer an official in the capital, the Empress in the palace is just a nominal position. You..."

"That's right. I'm just a wife of a prince." Fang Zilan said the rest of the words for Madam Fu, "Madam Fu, whether you believe it or not, I have the ability to kill the entire Fu family. Unless..."

Fang Zilan paused, and Mrs. Fu couldn't help but ask, "Unless what?"

"Unless the Wei family intervenes." Fang Zilan took the teacup from the table and took a sip. "For the sake of the head of the Wei family, Lord Wei Mao, I can protect the madam and her family. As for the other members of the Fu family..."

She did not finish her words, but casually put the teacup back on the table with a sound that sounded like a meaningful knock.

Madam Fu said in disbelief, "I didn't expect the Crown Prince's wife to be so arrogant. Lord Wei Mao, the head of the Wei family, is such a great man. How can you be worthy of his respect?"

"How can I be so worthy? This is my business." Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows. "Whether I can persuade Lord Wei Mao to intercede for Madam's family depends on your ability."

She paused as she spoke, "However, Madam's implication is that you believe I have the ability to kill the entire Fu family."

Mrs. Fu then realized that the two of them had dragged the irrelevant Wei family into the conversation. After all, in the eyes of others, as long as she was named Wei, it was impossible for her to sever her relationship with the Wei family.
