Chapter 1544 Choice

"The prince is joking, how can I dare to teach the prince?" Zhuge Yu said with a smile on his lips: "Your Majesty has not explained it, so naturally we dare not deal with it at will. Moreover, Mr. Fang promised that the Mo family will make up for the mistakes. , I don’t know the inside story very well. But Mr. Su came here one step ahead of me, so he must know something about it?”

Seeing that he was causing trouble, Su Yun threw the words to him unceremoniously. He was secretly annoyed but still had a smile on his face, "I'm just a civil servant. I don't know anything about dispatching troops and generals. How could Mr. Fang do this?" Let me know? If you say you know the inside story, let me be Deputy General Cao who is next to Mr. Fang."

King Rong'an saw Zhuge Yu and Su Yun dismissing each other with every word, and simply asked: "Vice General Cao has been guarding Mr. Fang these two days. I heard that he questioned the bodyguard who entered the village with Mr. Fang." Sir, have you ever asked me anything?"

"The escort leader said that when he and Lord Fang entered the village, there were only a few seriously ill people left in the village. They died within a few days." Zhuge Yu suppressed his smile and said in a calm voice, "Lord Fang was afraid that the stench of corpses would spread and the plague would spread, so he resorted to the desperate measure of setting fire to the village."

He stared at Prince Rong'an as he spoke, and at the end he pretended to be casual and asked, "But how did Your Majesty know that the man who entered the village with Lord Fang was a bodyguard?"

Prince Rong An was stunned for a moment, and instead of answering, he asked, "Isn't it?"

Zhuge Yu did not answer. King Rong'an frowned and looked at the people around him. He knelt down before asking the culprit. "Your Majesty, please calm down. I just heard General Xiahou talking to his men a few days ago. I just found out about this. I thought that since it was General Xiahou who said this, it must be correct. That's why I dared to report it to you..."

"General Xiahou?" Su Yun repeated softly, and King Rong'an's expression became colder. "General Xiahou cares about Miss Yan'er, so it's understandable that he asks more questions, but you actually dared to eavesdrop on General Xiahou's conversation. Come, drag him away!"

"Your Highness, spare my life!" The people around Prince Rong'an were dragged away. Prince Rong'an said guiltily, "It's all because I didn't control my subordinates well. I raised such a sneaky thing. I'm sorry to make you two laugh. If I had known that he got the news from eavesdropping, I would not listen to a word even if my ears were cut off."

"Your Highness, there is no need to blame yourself so much." Zhuge Yu said indifferently, "Now that His Majesty's order has not been delivered, Lord Fang is unable to take charge. I hope Your Highness will not worry too much. It will be bad if you get hurt."

Prince Rong'an's expression was stern. "Thank you, Master Zhuge, for reminding me. It's getting late today, so I'll take my leave now. If Master Zhuge and Lord Su need me for anything, just let me know. I will not refuse."

After Prince Rong'an left, Zhuge Yu and Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They smiled at each other and then their faces turned cold again.

Su Yun said in a deep voice: "Master Zhuge, we agreed to hold out for Lord Fang for half a month, what are you doing now?"

"The half-month period has passed." Zhuge Yu took the teacup from the table and took a sip. "You and I can keep it together for a while, but not for a lifetime. After all, it won't be long."

"What do you mean?" Su Yun pursed his lips into a straight line. Zhuge Yu looked at him and suddenly smiled. "Originally, Lord Su insisted on replacing me and coming to this southeastern land. I thought Lord Su was a capable person. Why is he so impatient?"

Su Yun snorted coldly, "Master Zhuge, are you holding a grudge against me for taking your place?"

"I'm not a stingy person." Zhuge Yu put the teacup back and tapped the table with his fingers. "Why did Lord Su have to come?"

Su Yun's expression was cold, "Mr. Zhuge, what do you want to say?"

Fang Zilan stood still in the pavilion, "How is it, have you two figured it out?"

"Understood." The person who answered her was Fang Lihui. He raised the corners of his lips and returned to his usual cynicism. "My cousin owes the Fang family money. He can't leave until he pays it back."

As if she had not expected this result, Fang Zilan asked blankly, "How much do you owe?" "A total of 540,000 taels, 2 qian and 8 fen of silver." Fang Lihui reported it straightforwardly, but Fang Zilan could not believe it, "So much?"

"Most of my cousin's business relies on the Fang family, so this amount is considered small." Fang Lihui's smug tone made her frown. "Your cousin relies on the Fang family, so you are the same, so what is there to be proud of?"

"Not really." Fang Lihui took out his folding fan again without knowing when, and opened it with a rustling sound, looking more like showing off, "If you want me to leave the Fang family, I'm afraid the Fang family will have to pay me a sum of money."

Fang Zilan looked at Fang Liren with doubt, "What do you want to do with such a large sum of money, Master Fang?"

Fang Liren remained silent, but Fang Lihui spoke up for him, "If Miss Sasan knew that you were going back to Persia with her, I think she would be willing to pay for you. I just don't know if you are willing to do that."

"Fang Lihui!" Fang Liren clenched his fists, his eyes filled with uncontrollable anger. "This is my business. It has nothing to do with Warners."

"Really?" Fang Lihui's smile was filled with a subtle hint of sarcasm. "But my cousin is leaving the Fang family for Miss Sasan. He has such deep feelings for her..."

"Shut up!" Fang Liren interrupted Fang Lihui coldly, his expression changed from anger to sadness, but in just a moment he returned to his previous elegant appearance, "I will pay back all the money I owe you, and I will not go back to the Fang family with you."

"My cousin has great ambitions, but what can you give me now?" Fang Lihui put away his folding fan, with a fierce look in his eyes, "Why is my cousin so stubborn?"

Fang Liren did not answer, but raised his chin slightly and looked at the person in front of him.

He is about the same height as Fang Lihui, and from this angle one can just see the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, which are made even more angular by the light and shadow.

The little boy who had followed him closely at first had grown up so big that he could now safely leave the Fang family to him.

Seeing Fang Liren's smile, Fang Lihui felt the fire in his chest burning more and more fiercely. He took a step forward and grabbed his collar, "What are you laughing at?"

Fang Liren gently patted Fang Lihui's hand that was holding his collar, and smiled dotingly and helplessly, "Lihui, you are the one who is stubborn and rebellious."

Fang Lihui's grip gradually loosened. He took a step back and stood still, saying in a low voice, "Let's talk business. Cousin, if you can't pay back the money, I won't let you leave the Fang family."

"I said I would return it in full." Fang Liren's calm and peaceful appearance made people feel at ease. Fang Lihui still insisted, "When?"

Fang Liren was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I won't leave until I pay it off."

"Okay, I'll remember what my cousin said." Fang Lihui nodded heavily. "It's getting late today, so I won't bother you any more. I'll take my leave first."
