Chapter 377 Handle
However, under this situation, Fang Zilan didn't have time to think about it, and immediately said to Pei Xiaoze: "Master Pei got drunk at the banquet at Ouyang's house today, why did he come to the Prime Minister's mansion to play drunk?"

"I..." As soon as Pei Xiaoze opened his mouth, Fang Zilan pinched him secretly, and said without anger: "Today's incident not only involves the reputation of Mr. Pei and Miss Fang, but also my face. My temper Not good, if I hear any words in the future, I will cut off the tongues of the other people present today and feed them to the dogs."

Her last words were so emphatic that the housekeeper and all the maids and servants trembled in fright, and hurriedly saluted and said no.

Pei Xiaoze pursed his lips into a straight line, staring at Fang Zitong closely, but saw her turn her head back to the inner courtyard in silence.

"Master Pei, are you waiting to be invited out by the Prime Minister, or are you going out with me?" Fang Zilan let go of her hand as she spoke, and straightened her sleeves at a leisurely pace.

Pei Xiaoze didn't speak, but just said goodbye, then turned and left.

Fang Zilan glanced at the other people in the courtyard, her cold eyes were an obvious warning, and they were so overwhelmed that they did not dare to act rashly.It wasn't until she walked out of the mansion that the housekeeper heaved a sigh of relief, his legs were so weak that he almost staggered and fell over.

"Master Fang, please stop." Pei Xiaoze called Fang Zilan, she stopped and looked at him sideways, "What does Master Pei want to tell me?"

"I just want to know why Second Miss Fang...why..." Pei Xiaoze couldn't say anything, Fang Zilan said seriously: "If you want to know the answer, you need to answer me a question first."

Pei Xiaoze took a step forward, getting closer to Fang Zilan, and said, "Master Fang, please ask me."

"Before I entered the government office, why did you ask me to explain the official uniform?" Fang Zilan asked abruptly, even Pei Xiaoze couldn't help being stunned for a while, and then said: "At that time, Mr. Fang was the Duke of Beiguo. Even if it's not my immediate superior..."

"Enough, I understand." Fang Zilan abruptly interrupted Pei Xiaoze, he didn't understand, so he said: "Master Fang, what do you mean?"

Fang Zilan turned her face back, "If you want to know the answer, Mr. Pei, you might as well ask your good cousin——Gong Gong, and ask him what he has done. I think it will be clear."

"My cousin..." Pei Xiaoze's expression was gloomy, Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "If I guess right, if you come to the Prime Minister's mansion today, someone from your cousin will give you the news, right?"

A look of shock appeared on Pei Xiaoze's face, Fang Zilan ignored him, and took the carriage back home.

A whole half a day passed, but Fang Zilan felt more and more headaches, and she didn't know if the hangover soup was useless, or because she was tossed enough by this series of farces.

First Huangfuxin resigned from his marriage with Ouyang Zirou, then Fang Zitong wanted to marry Pei Juanqing, and finally Pei Xiaoze...

Thinking of this, Fang Zilan couldn't help cursing inwardly, she really has a bad sense of seeing people.Back then when it came to official uniforms, she thought that Pei Xiaoze was a man who was considerate for women, but she never thought that he was only so considerate for the sake of his position and authority.

Speaking of that day at the back door of Pei's mansion, Pei Xiaoze kept claiming that he had a deep relationship with the woman named Lianniang, but he hid her name in the room in a dishonest manner.He was soft and warm, but he didn't think about Lianniang at all. Isn't this selfish?

This made sense, Pei Juanqing had seen through Pei Xiaoze's selfishness long ago, so she intentionally sent the news to him, because she knew that with his temperament, he would definitely come to the Prime Minister's house and make trouble like this.

The fire is already on fire, if someone is adding firewood, someone is fanning the wind, someone is stoking the fire...

Fang Zilan only heard a buzzing in his head, and then he was left in chaos.Intuition told her that this matter is like a fire, which will burn more and more, and even...

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she had to urge the coachman to return home quickly.After returning home, she went straight to the Nuan Pavilion and sat by the brazier.

After Mo Han heard that Fang Zilan had returned home, he came to the Nuan Pavilion to look for her, but saw her shrunk into a ball.

"Sister Lan, what's wrong with you?" Mo Han hurried to her side, and just as she was about to reach out to feel the temperature of her forehead, she suddenly raised her head, looked at him firmly and said, "Mo Han, I think something is going to happen. gone."

The nonsensical words made Mo Han stop his movements, his brows were slightly frowned, "What do you mean?"

Fang Zilan described what he had seen and heard outside today, and Mo Han's expression became a little more serious after listening, "Sister Lan, your intuition is good. If I think right, the purpose of Duke Ping's move is to target the Fang family. Suppress the poor."

"A poor family?" Fang Zilan repeated the word, and heard him continue: "Everything can be traced back to the source. If it can be killed from the source, it is the best way. I remember, sister Lan, you once told me that the newcomer in your government office Officials have entered the officialdom under the name of students of the Xiangfu, and most of the newly promoted students from poor families in the various ministries come from the schools of the Xiangfu, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are students of the Xiangfu."

Fang Zilan interjected: "Official reform emphasizes fairness, and relatively speaking, it favors poor families, and the Prime Minister's Xiangfu Academy is the best source of talent. If this source can be cut off, even if it cannot be completely suppressed, it will make it difficult for poor families to stand out. "

"That's the reason." Mo Han nodded slightly, "However, according to what you said, Second Miss Fang is not a kind person, especially if she prefers softness to toughness. It seems that Jing Guogong took advantage of her weakness."

"Fang Zitong's weakness?" Fang Zilan thought for a while and said: "She has two weaknesses, one is the empress in the palace, and the other is the Fang family. Even if the former is against the empress dowager, she will not lose .the latter……"

She paused, "With the support of the prime minister, who can do anything to the Fang family?"

Mo Han sighed, "The Fang family has the biggest trick. Once it is grasped, let alone the Prime Minister, it is possible to ruin the entire Fang family."

Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, and only listened to him saying quietly: "Sister Lan, your real identity is the biggest handle of the Fang family."

Fang Zilan's expression changed. Now she is the tallest person standing on the cusp of the storm in the capital. She has two identities—Miss Fang San and Zixiu from the ghost family.

Mo Han raised his hand to support her shoulder, "This is just my guess. What's more, even if Duke Ping really knew that you were Miss Fang San, he would not rashly use this handle as a sword and come straight at you Not to mention the clear distinction between ministers and generals, just say that your family is weak, and the entire Pei family stands behind Gong Guogong. If he can't guarantee to get out of the body, then killing you will be of no benefit. But if he turns the sword , going to Fang's house, it will be quite different."

He breathed a sigh of relief as he spoke, and then said: "Grand Duke Jue used this to deal with the Fang family, I'm afraid that he would get what he wanted without bloodshed."

"But the Prime Minister is not a weak and easy to bully person, he..." Fang Zilan did not continue, Mo Han looked unbearable, "To put it bluntly, if you can't write two square characters in one stroke, it depends on how the Prime Minister chooses."

"No!" Fang Zilan stood up suddenly, "If this matter is really related to me, I..."

Mo Han suddenly uttered and cut her off, "Sister Lan, what can you do?"

 First impressions become stereotypes—

  Fang Ziqin: You must be cautious in dealing with people, and you must investigate and employ people, and the examination must be strict.

  Fang Zilan: I reflect on...
