Chapter 401 Implicated
"What you said makes sense." Fang Zilan nodded slightly, and said to Cao Hong: "Old Cao, don't go directly to Miss Bai's family, just pay attention secretly. If there is any trouble, just report it to me."

"Okay." Cao Hong nodded in response, "I'll arrange it right away." After saying that, he got up and left.

A Wan, who had been quiet all this time, dared to speak at this moment: "This is Sister Bai, right? Are you okay?"

"Please ask me, I'm fine." Bai Xiuniang's voice was still trembling, and A Wan stepped forward and squatted in front of her and said, "Sister Bai, don't force me, I'll take you to get the medicine."

Hearing this, Fang Zilan looked at Bai Xiuniang suddenly, she didn't pay much attention just now, but now she found that there were red marks on Bai Xiuniang's wrists drawn by the rope, and some places had already scratched the skin.In addition, Bai Xiuniang was always hugging her arms and curled up into a ball, presumably there were other injuries on her body, but she was negligent.

Thinking of this, she looked at Bai Xiuniang who waved her hand to refuse, and said, "Miss Bai, you can go with Awan."

"Master Fang, don't bother me, I..." Bai Xiuniang wanted to say something more, but Fang Zilan smiled reassuringly, "Miss Bai, don't be afraid, stay at home with peace of mind, and I will definitely try my best to help you."

"Thank you, Master Fang..." Bai Xiuniang was about to kneel down, but Awan hurriedly supported her, "Sister Bai, you..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Zheng Yan who came in a hurry, "Master Fang."

Fang Zilan frowned slightly, "Didn't you help Miss Xiao to send someone away, why did you come back so soon?"

"Everyone in the house, after learning about Miss Bai, has to ask themselves to leave the house, even the accountant." Zheng Yan said in a low voice: "Now Miss Xiao settles the money in person in the accountant. Let me come and inform Mr. Fang first."

Fang Zilan's expression was gloomy, and Zheng Yan saluted, "If Mr. Fang has no other orders, I'll go back and watch over Miss Xiao first, in case the situation can't be suppressed..."

"Can't hold it down?" Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "Can I still be threatened by them? If you want to leave, just leave. But you and Miss Xiao must make it clear to them that if I hear anything outside the mansion in the future, I shouldn't listen to it." If they arrive, they won’t even want to stay in the capital.”

"Yes." Zheng Yan took the order to leave, and Bai Xiuniang said with tears: "Master Fang, you should let me go. I will only drag you down if I stay at your house."

Fang Zilan pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

Seeing this, A Wan said cautiously: "Master Fang, although the people in our house are a mixed bag, although their positions are unknown, they were always set up by His Royal Highness Yucheng Wang. Now driving them all out, will it hurt His Highness Yucheng King's face?"

"They asked to leave the mansion, how can it be regarded as my dismissal?" Fang Zilan's expression became colder, and Awan could only keep silent.

"Even though there is no problem with His Highness King Yucheng's face, but with so many people leaving the mansion suddenly, others can more or less guess that something happened in the mansion." Mo Han said thoughtfully: "It is not right to let them leave the mansion. Just think of a suitable title."

"No matter what name it is, I'm afraid it can't stop the rumors outside." Fang Zilan sighed faintly, "I'll figure it out on my own, you all go away."

Bai Xiuniang wanted to say something more, but was dragged away by Awan, saying that the wound would get worse if the medicine was not applied.

Mo Han said that he was going to help Miss Xiao in the accountant, so he also got up and left.Cong Rong, on the other hand, did not move for a long time.

"Miss Cong, do you want to tell me something?" Fang Zilan looked at Cong Rong, only to see that she was hesitant and did not speak.

Fang Zilan calmed down a little, and said: "We are the only ones left here now, if Miss Cong has something to say, you may as well speak directly."

"I..." Cong Rong bit her lip and said after a long while: "I used to have a sister I knew who was sold to a rich family as a concubine. After the adult died, she... was driven crazy..."

"Don't be afraid, Miss Cong, I will handle this matter properly." Fang Zilan said seriously: "I will not just watch Miss Bai fall into the fire pit."

"That's not what I meant..." Cong Rong looked anxious, and said incoherently, "It's not that I don't believe Mr. Fang, nor that I'm afraid... no, I'm still a little afraid..."

"Ms. Cong." Fang Zilan interrupted Cong Rong in a low voice, walked in front of her, leaned over and held her hand, as expected, it was extremely cold, "I'm here, don't be afraid."

Cong Rong took a deep breath to calm herself down, "I want to say that after the adult of my sister's family passed away, his original wife remarried."

Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, not daring to say anything: "What did you say?"

"It's true." Cong Rong nodded firmly and said: "I heard that the original wife was very scheming, and she had a big handle on her husband's family. She was threatened by her husband's family and dared not speak up, so she went away. Remarried to someone else."

Fang Zilan thought for a moment, and asked, "What's the name of your sister? Which adult is she married to?"

Cong Rong gave her name and surname neatly, Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "Thank you Miss Cong for reminding me."

Cong Rong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "I just suddenly remembered this matter, it would be great if I could help Master Fang."

"Ms. Cong..." Fang Zilan hesitated: "If you are afraid of being implicated, you might as well go to live in Zhuangzi outside the city for a while."

"I'm not afraid of being implicated!" Cong Rong hurriedly said: "Master Fang, although I'm a little scared, it's not that I'm afraid of being implicated. I'm just worried about you..."

She paused as she spoke, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I got pregnant first when I was out of marriage, and then I lost my baby. I have no scruples for a long time. Fame is something that doesn't exist to me."

"Ms. Cong, don't think so." Fang Zilan said softly, "Fame is earned by people. I believe you will always get what you want."

Cong Rong's eyes were red, and she hummed heavily, "Master Fang, I'm fine, you'd better go and see Miss Xiao and the others."

Fang Zilan didn't say anything more, went straight to the cashier, and sent everyone away with Mo Han and Xiao Xuan'er.Zheng Yan mobilized the government soldiers to suppress the formation, and everyone took the money honestly and left.

After finally sending it off, Xiao Xuan'er reconciled the account, with a worried expression on her face, "Master Fang, the money in our family may not be enough. If we want to hire someone again..."

She didn't continue, Fang Zilan raised her hand and frowned slightly, "Don't hire people for now, use the ones you need first, and I'll figure out the rest."

"Lord Fang." Zheng Yan took the initiative to say: "When I recruited soldiers, there was still a lot of money from the treasury, so I'll take it here."

"Wait a minute." Fang Zilan said strangely: "It shouldn't be, did you make a mistake?"

Zheng Yan shook his head, "I have recorded all the expenditure details, so I will show it to Mr. Fang for review."

After he finished speaking, he brought the account book over. Fang Zilan glanced at it roughly, and handed it to Xiao Xuaner, "Miss Xiao, please check it out."

Mo Han looked at Fang Zilan, and saw her expression was gloomy, "The money approved by the treasury is at least enough for three princes to support soldiers."

 Xiao Xuan'er: Sure enough, everyone is afraid of being implicated.Now it's all right, those who should run or not should run away...
