Siheyuan: The more excited you are, the more excited I am

"Whether they tricked you or you came here voluntarily, I will keep my word. Since you are here, you must be punished. How about this, drag this adulterous couple out and parade them through the streets!"

The first half of Lin Fan's words were addressed to Fu Xinggui, and the second half was addressed to Captain Zhang.

"And these people, let them pick up their tongues and get out of here!"

Then Lin Fan waved to a dozen constables, signaling them to take away all the members of the Fu family and the tongues on the ground.

Soon the detectives and the Fu family all left Zhao's Teahouse, and peace returned to the courtyard.

Sun Sanniang brought a plate of fruit to Lin Fan's table, and stood beside him with Zhao Pan'er, watching Lin Fan drink tea and taste the fruit.

"Sit down and talk. There's no need to be so reserved. After going through this, we are now friends. There's no need to be so distant!"

Lin Fan waved his hand, motioning Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang to sit down. They felt something was weird standing there watching.

"Mr. Lin, who are you exactly? Why do I feel like you do whatever you want without any scruples? Are you a member of the royal family?"

Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang looked at each other without any pretense and sat down. Then Sun Sanniang asked curiously.

"Status doesn't allow people to do whatever they want. Even if you are an emperor, you have to accept the supervision of the censors. If you overstep the boundaries, you will be called a tyrant, a tyrant, or a king who ruined the country. But strength does. As long as you are strong enough, there are no taboos and you can do whatever you want."

Lin Fan smiled and shook his head when he heard this. The Song Dynasty had a unique rule that no official could be punished, so the real important officials were not afraid of the emperor.

Even if one pointed at the emperor and cursed him, angering him, generally the only options were dismissal from office or exile. Very rarely was one sentenced to death.

This was to encourage the literati to actively offer advice and participate in national affairs, but it also restricted the imperial power. The emperor could not have everything he wanted and had to be careful about the consequences.

Therefore, even if he was an emperor, it was impossible for him to be so unscrupulous and disregard the law as he was, let alone a member of the royal family.

"Strength? What kind of strength can be as unrestrained as Master Lin? Can he defeat ten people? A hundred people? Or a thousand people?"

Sun Sanniang felt it was a little unbelievable. In this era when martial arts were almost extinct, no matter how powerful a person was, could he defeat ten, a hundred or a thousand people?

"You can guess higher!"

"I have only heard that Overlord Xiang Yu had the strength to defeat ten thousand men. Could it be that Master Lin is also born with supernatural power and can defeat ten thousand men?"

Sun Sanniang laughed and said something when she heard it, but it was obviously a joke. She didn't think Lin Fan was that powerful.

Ten thousand people, if they were to form an army formation, their momentum would be enough to scare the timid to death, let alone fight with them.

"Ten thousand enemies are nothing, I am invincible below the immortals."

Lin Fan saw that Sun Sanniang doubted her own strength, so he said with a smile.

"Mr. Lin is really good at joking."

"What about above the immortals?"

Sun Sanniang took what Lin Fan said as a joke, while Zhao Paner asked with interest.

"I am invincible even above the immortals!"

"Then Master Lin might as well just say that he is an immortal!"

Hearing Lin Fan's words, Sun Sanniang couldn't help but roll her eyes. She felt that Lin Fan was getting more and more outrageous. He was invincible above the immortals, which meant that Lin Fan was also an immortal.

"mother!"

Just then, a little boy ran in from outside the yard. He was Fu Zifang, the son of Sun Sanniang and Fu Xingui.

As soon as the school was over, he ran out of the school and saw the Fu family members whose tongues had been cut off and Fu Xingui and Tao who were paraded through the streets. After asking around and finding out what had happened, he ran to find Sun Sanniang.

"Zifang!"

Seeing Fu Zifang, Sun Sanniang quickly stood up to greet him. It was obvious that she had forgotten what Fu Xinggui had said before.

"Mom, why did you divorce my dad? Why did you make such a big fuss? Why did you let them parade through the streets? Do you know that this will make me ashamed to face my classmates in the future?"

Sun Sanniang had just walked halfway when she was stunned by Fu Zifang's sudden accusation.

She didn't expect that after experiencing her husband's betrayal today, she would still be blamed by her son.

Sun Sanniang's body swayed, but Zhao Pan'er noticed something was wrong and quickly stood up to support her, so she did not fall down.

"What do you want mother to do? Act as if nothing happened? And then watch your father give you up to the Tao family as an adoptive mother?"

Sun Sanniang took a long time to calm down, then asked Fu Zifang in a deep voice.

"These things can be discussed. If nothing works, we can hold a clan meeting to resolve them! Is it necessary for our Fu family's affairs to be known to everyone? Now my father has been paraded through the streets for committing adultery. The whole Qiantang knows about it. How can I go out and see people?"

Fu Zifang did not notice that Sun Sanniang looked very pale and ugly, or maybe he noticed it but did not care. After all, in their family, the father has always been kind and the mother has always been strict, so he has a better relationship with his father.

Sun Sanniang was very strict with him, hoping that he would study hard, pass the imperial examinations and become successful in the future. Fu Xingui himself was not ambitious, and he had the same attitude towards Fu Zifang, thinking that he could study if he could, but if he couldn't, it would be fine for him to do business with her when he grew up.

Therefore, Fu Zixiang and Fu Xingui have always been on the same side and are not close to Sun Sanniang at all.

"I just want to make this matter known to the whole Qiantang, so that Fu Xingui will be ruined. It's good that you know the shame, and you can be brave after knowing the shame. If you are as shameless as your father, then you'd better not see anyone in the future!"

Sun Sanniang was deeply hurt by Fu Zifang, so it was the first time she said such harsh words to him.

"Confucius was right. It is true that only women and villains are difficult to raise. I hate you!"

Fu Zifang stood there in a daze for a while, his face changing. Then he shouted at Sun Sanniang and ran out.

He has always been uneducated and rarely remembers a word of Confucius. Regardless of whether the meaning is right or wrong, he directly applies it to Sun Sanniang.

"Sanniang!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Sanniang's body softened and she collapsed on Zhao Pan'er, looking lonely and heartbroken.

Zhao Pan'er felt very distressed when she saw this, but she didn't know how to comfort her. She could only hold her in her arms and give her some support.

Lin Fan was eating the fruit leisurely. He was mentally prepared for Fu Zifang's ungrateful attitude, so he didn't feel surprised at all.

When Sun Sanniang caught the adulterer before, Fu Xingui actually revealed that Fu Zifang was heartless.

But Sun Sanniang didn't take it to heart. She thought she had raised her child well and the child was very close to her.

Now that Fu Zifang's true colors have been revealed, Sun Sanniang naturally cannot bear this blow.

"Mr. Lin, why don't you help persuade them?"

Zhao Pan'er helped Sun Sanniang sit down, and then asked Lin Fan for help.
