Chapter 151 It’s too early to draw conclusions
Fan Mansion.
After Fan Xian had breakfast, Fan Jian called him to the study.
Outside the study, at a corner, Teng Zijing, who had changed his clothes, stood there quietly waiting with his hands folded in front of him.
Versace, who was passing by him, glanced at him casually and continued walking forward. As he walked, he felt something was wrong, so he stepped back, turned to look at Teng Zijing, looked him up and down, and asked.
"Why are you here again? Didn't Fan Xian say you were leaving?"
Teng Zijing said expressionlessly.
"We renegotiated the price and came back."
Versace said "oh" and asked another question casually.
"Where is Fan Xian?"
Teng Zijing pointed to the study.
Versace took a look and whispered.
"My father called him?"
Teng Zijing nodded.
Versace glanced at the sky and felt something strange.
"What could possibly happen this early in the morning?"
Teng Zijing asked back.
"How should I know?"
Versace was immediately delighted when he heard this, and glanced at Teng Zijing and said.
"Yeah, hey, let me ask you something, Fan Xian..." After taking a look at the study, Versace lowered his voice a little, "How much money does Fan Xian give you every month?"
Teng Zijing curled the corners of his mouth.
……
In the study room.
"Why did you call me here so early in the morning?"
Fan Jian sat down calmly and said.
"The news came out from the palace. The princess persuaded the queen mother by saying that you were not respectful to the crown prince in court. Now, not only is the princess dissatisfied with you, but the queen mother is also quite displeased with you. She even sent someone to tell His Majesty to reconsider this marriage."
Fan Xian was shocked when he heard this, his heart rose to his throat, and he asked hurriedly.
"Marriage, the marriage won't change, right?!"
Fan Jian glanced at him.
"Are you panicking now?"
"I…"
Fan Xian looked anxious.
"I admit that I was impulsive, isn't that enough? Oh, please stop keeping me in suspense. Has His Majesty changed his mind?"
Fan Jian snorted and bowed in the direction of the imperial palace.
"Your Majesty orally."
He put his hands down, shook his sleeves and held the handle.
"The marriage remains unchanged!"
Fan Jian spoke so slowly that Fan Xian was almost anxious to death. Until he heard the last four words, Fan Xian felt relieved. He closed his eyes and kept patting his chest, muttering to himself.
"It scared me to death. It scared me to death."
Fan Jian poured himself a cup of tea with a smile, then took a sip.
After Fan Xian recovered, he looked at Fan Jian with resentment.
"Next time you encounter something like this, can you please tell me the result directly? I can't bear your heavy breathing."
Fan Jian put down the teacup and laughed.
"This incident is a reminder for you. Be more cautious in the future, do less shocking things, and do not impose on others what you do not want others to do to you. Your heart can't bear it, but I can bear it?"
"..."
Fan Xian was speechless and helpless.
……
Outside the study.
Versace was dumbfounded.
"How much? Fifty taels? Is that true? You are not kidding me, are you?"
Teng Zijing smiled with the corners of his mouth curved but said nothing.
Versace was about to say something when Fan Xian came out of the study.
Versace jumped and pointed the gun at Fan Xian.
"Fan Xian, give him fifty taels of silver a month."
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, exclaimed, and walked up to the two of them.
"Yeah, why are you asking this suddenly?"
Versace looked at Fan Xian as if he was a fool.
"And buy him land and cattle?"
Fan Xian was a little confused. He glanced at Teng Zijing and asked in a low voice.
"What's going on?"
Teng Zijing shrugged, spread his hands, tilted his head and pouted, indicating that he didn't understand either.
Fan Xian looked at Versace.
"Yes what's the matter?"
Versace's eyes widened.
"What's wrong? I, a young master, can barely make fifty taels a month, and you're giving him, a bodyguard, so much?"
"Forehead…"
Fan Xian scratched his head, glanced at Teng Zijing, thought for a while and found a reason.
"Um...his situation is a little special."
Versace didn't care whether it was special or not. He just smiled ingratiatingly and took two steps towards Fan Xian, suggesting in a low voice.
"Well, brother, how about this? Let him be your young master, and I will be your bodyguard. You give me the money, land, and cattle you gave him. What do you think?"
"..."
Fan Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Don't mess around. Are you done with the shop?"
When it comes to shops, Versace has no time to talk nonsense.
"Almost. All that's left is to order the printing paper. I'm just about to go out to pick some paper. Do you have anything to do? If not, let's go together."
Fan Xian thought about it and smiled embarrassedly.
"Sorry, I'm busy!"
Versace wondered.
"What can you do?"
Fan Xian laughed.
"I plan to go to the Royal Villa to meet your future sister-in-law."
Versace suddenly realized.
"Well, this is serious business. Okay, let's just go about our own business." After looking at Teng Zijing with jealousy, Versace turned and left.
Looking at Versace's departing back, Teng Zijing smiled.
"Your brother is really interesting."
Fan Xian nodded.
"I think so."
After saying that, he looked at him.
"Let's go, go find Ruoruo first, and then go out with me."
Teng Zijing nodded.
……
On the way to the Royal Court.
Inside the carriage.
Fan Xian asked Fan Ruoruo.
"Ruoruo, have you known your sister-in-law before?"
Fan Ruoruo thought for a moment and said.
"We've met a few times and exchanged a few words."
Fan Xian asked again.
"What about Ye Ling'er?"
"Same, I know her, but not very well. Brother, are we going to meet my sister-in-law?"
Fan Xian smiled and nodded.
Fan Ruoruo didn't understand.
"Since my brother is going to see my sister-in-law, is it appropriate for me to go?"
Fan Xian laughed.
"The last time we met briefly doesn't count. This is our first official meeting. I'm afraid your sister-in-law is too shy to see me alone. With you by her side, she might feel more comfortable."
After a pause, Fan Xian continued.
"Besides, I'm worried that Ye Ling'er might be there too. The last time I met her, it wasn't a pleasant experience. If she's there this time, I'm afraid she'll cause me trouble again. You can help me block her then."
Fan Ruoruo was stunned for a moment, then nodded cautiously.
"Don't worry, brother. I will definitely hold her tightly. You can just chat with sister-in-law."
Fan Xian looked at her and suddenly asked.
"Aren't you curious about why we are unhappy?"
Fan Ruoruo said without even thinking.
"It's obvious that it was Ye Ling'er who took the initiative to cause trouble for me. She has a good personal relationship with my sister-in-law. I guess she heard the rumors about me and doesn't want my sister-in-law to marry me."
Fan Xian gave her a thumbs up.
"As expected of my sister, you can see the big picture from the details. You are smart and insightful!"
Fan Ruoruo smiled smugly at Fan Xian.
Fan Xian couldn't help laughing.
……
Royal Villa.
When Li Roujia walked into Lin Wan'er's bedroom, Lin Wan'er was taking medicine.
Seeing her pinching her nose and drinking the medicine in one gulp, and then her whole face wrinkled, Li Roujia couldn't help but laugh.
"Take your medicine, cousin."
The maid Xiaoxi took the medicine bowl, stood up, bowed to Li Roujia, and then went out.
Hearing the voice, Lin Wan'er glanced at her, covered her mouth with a handkerchief with one hand, and waved at her with the other hand. After a long while, her expression relaxed, leaving only a slight frown on her brows. She put down her hand and said.
"It's really too hard. Drinking medicine every day is like going to the execution ground. I don't know when this will end."
Li Roujia slowly sat down in front of her and smiled.
"Since it's so bitter, why not add some sugar to it?"
Lin Wan'er sighed, her voice soft.
"It's still bitter even after adding it."
Li Roujia thought about it.
"Did you add too little?"
Lin Wan'er gestured.
"I added a full spoonful, which was quite a bit, and even added honey, but I don't know why this medicine is still so bitter."
Li Roujia found it a little strange.
"Is it so exaggerated? Then I'll go back and ask Brother Cheng'an to see if he has any good ideas."
Lin Wan'er nodded repeatedly.
"That's great. This problem has been bothering me for a long time. By the way, why did you come so early? Have you had breakfast at home?"
Li Roujia nodded, then leaned forward, put her arms on the table, and moved closer to Lin Wan'er.
"Cousin, I'm here to give you a heads-up."
Lin Wan'er was stunned for a moment.
"Tip off? What's going on?"
Li Roujia nodded seriously.
"I just found out from Brother Cheng'an's letter last night that Jingdu Prefecture tried more than one case yesterday. In addition to the case Ye Ling'er mentioned yesterday, there was another more serious case that was also related to your Fan Xian!"
Lin Wan'er's heart skipped a beat. She didn't bother to correct the address and asked nervously.
"What's the more serious case?"
Li Roujia then recounted the case from beginning to end in which the Prince's court had challenged Fan Xian.
Lin Wan'er was fine with the first part, but when she heard that the man who assassinated Fan Xian was back from the dead, she frowned and couldn't help but worry about Fan Xian's safety. Then she remembered that this man had been captured by the prince, and she felt relieved.
When she heard the prince say that this person had been following Fan Xian all along, and it was confirmed by Prince Jing, a lot of question marks appeared in Lin Wan'er's head. The person who was assassinated brought the person who assassinated him with him?
When Dang Ting heard the prince say that Fan Xian was guilty of deceiving the emperor, Lin Wan'er stood up suddenly with a look of horror on her face.
"Bully bully bully... bully the Lord?"
Li Roujia nodded.
"Yes, that's what the prince said, but don't be anxious, cousin. Sit down and listen to me."
Seeing that Li Roujia's expression was very calm, Lin Wan'er thought for a moment that if the result was not favorable to Fan Xian, her cousin's expression would be more cautious and serious. Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved and sat down again.
Li Roujia continued speaking.
The more Lin Wan'er listened, the more frightened she became, until the moment the governor of Kyoto ordered the torture, her heart was in her throat.
What about the reversal? What about the reversal?
The situation turned around, Eunuch Hou appeared in time and rescued Fan Xian. Lin Wan'er patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"so far so good!"
Li Roujia said with a strange expression.
"Well? It's too early to draw conclusions, cousin. Your Fan Xian is going to go crazy soon!"
"..."
