After hearing Granny Yuan's words, King Runan paused, with a hint of guilt in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "What can Yuanning do, an idiot? It's clear that they took advantage of my son's unpreparedness and carried out this murderous attack!"

"If you, a father, can't figure it out, how can you teach a decent next generation?" Granny Yuan looked at him with a cold tone, "You took advantage of the darkness of the night and swaggered into the door, scaring me so much. I I don’t want to say much, just take your people and retreat, don’t cause any more trouble.”

"aunt!"

"Old Twelve, I don't want to say what I said a second time."

King Runan clenched his fists, anger welling up in his heart, and he looked at Fang Xu with sinister eyes.

Fang Xu raised his eyebrows and met his gaze, without a trace of fear in his eyes.

"Good... very good!" King Runan gritted his teeth and sneered, saying in a deep voice, "My son will not be wronged in vain. When I find out the real culprit, I will skin her alive!"

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened, Your Majesty!" A man dressed as a servant rushed in from outside the door and shouted, "Our palace is in trouble!"

"What?" King Runan's eyebrows jumped and he subconsciously looked at Fang Xu.

Fang Xu frowned slightly, pretending to be innocent, "Why does the prince look at me so much? Could it be that he wants to blame this matter on our Marquis?"

Xie Li's face was as dark as ink, his eyes were cold, and he said in a low voice, "King Runan, you can see clearly, our whole family is standing in front of you, every one of us."

King Runan narrowed his eyes, and the fists hidden in his long sleeves clenched loudly, "You didn't do it? Do you dare to swear?"

"Is the prince suspicious of us?" Fang Xu chuckled, a dark light flashing in his eyes, "We have a number of servants in the house. Do you need to bring the name list to the prince for review?"

"The prince is afraid that he got into trouble because of someone he shouldn't have messed with." Fang Xu said softly, with a calm face, "If you have time to question us here, why not go back to the house and have a look. "

"We'll see!" King Runan walked away with anger in his heart.

Seeing him leading people away, Zeng Tianya rushed over and closed the door.

Granny Yuan put her hand on Miao Xuan's palm and whispered, "Old Twelve has a lot on his mind. Pay more attention to him in the future."

Fang Xu nodded, "My daughter understands that I am disturbing my mother tonight."

"Why are we talking about this as a family?" Grandma Yuan glared at her with a look on her face and said with a smile, "Can I watch him touch his two wives with my own eyes?"

Fang Xu curled his lips and winked at Liu Fanyin, "Why don't you help your grandmother back to rest soon?"

"Yes." Liu Fanyin hurriedly responded, walked to Granny Yuan's side, and helped her walk towards the pine garden.

"Mother..." Song Huixin opened her mouth, looking miserable.

Fang Xu's eyes were soft and his voice was calm, "You guys should go back too. It's getting late and we have to go to court tomorrow."

"Yes." Song Huixin nodded in agreement and returned to Jingyuan with Xie Li.

Su Zi looked worried and whispered, "Madam, Baiji hasn't come back yet."

"I told Yun Heng to stay behind. Let's go back to the garden and wait for her."

About two quarters of an hour passed before Bai Ji's figure appeared in Chengyuan.

"Madam, this slave is back."

Hearing the sound, Fang Xu looked up quietly and saw Bai Ji's face that looked like a little cat, "How could it be like this?"

<divclass="contentadv">"It was cold and the torch couldn't light, so it took a lot of effort." Bai Ji wiped his face carelessly with his sleeves and whispered, "Otherwise, this slave would have been back a long time ago. Is the madam not injured?"

"I'm very fine." Fang Xu shook his head and asked softly, "Has anyone discovered his whereabouts?"

"Madam, don't worry, I'm very cautious." Bai Ji straightened his expression and lowered his voice, "During the fire, I saw King Runan's Yao'er rushing out of a room with a woman in his arms. He was disheveled and didn't care about that. A woman is called Xiaoniang.”

Fang Xu was shocked for a moment, "Seriously?"

Bai Ji nodded heavily and whispered, "What I heard with my own ears is unmistakable."

Fang Xu narrowed his eyes with an incomprehensible expression, "I didn't expect this kid to be quite playful..."

Baiji came closer and whispered, "Madam, look at it...can you do something on it?"

"Of course." Fang Xu pinched the beads on the string with a calm expression, "It would look good if the father and son bite each other."

Bai Ji nodded lightly, "Madam, just give your orders, and I will take care of it."

"Go to bed first and let me think about it." Fang Xu raised his eyes and looked at her with a smile, "Remember to wash your face."

Bai Ji grinned and looked careless, "Yes."

next day

The news of the leakage of the Runan Palace spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, and became the talk of the people after dinner.

"I heard that even the door was burnt. King Runan was so angry yesterday that he led most of the people to our house. The palace was on fire, and there were less than thirty people who could get involved." Su Zi covered her mouth and said, He said softly, "This is a typical example of not caring about the future. I feel so happy!"

Bai Ji snorted and raised his chin, "Who told him to go against our wife? This is what will happen!"

Fang Xu chuckled, but before she could say anything, Ye Ming rushed in hurriedly, "Madam, something happened in Nongyuntang!"

Fang Xu's expression froze, and the hand holding the tea cup suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What went wrong?"

Ye Ming had a sullen face and whispered, "There are many patients today, and the hall is overwhelmed. A few men came and stood at the door to block business. Zhiyu wanted to reason with them, but unexpectedly, he only touched them once, and a few grown men stopped him. He was lying on the ground whining in pain, saying he had been beaten and had broken bones."

"Fucking fart!" Bai Ji put his hands on his hips and blushed angrily, "Zhiyu can't even carry a hundred kilograms of medicinal materials, how can he break several grown men into pieces?"

Ye Ming shook his head, "Those men didn't know where they came from. They asked for five thousand gold or they would destroy our medicine hall. Several young girls were already scared to tears, and the shopkeeper was helpless and ran away. I came to my house for help.”

Fang Xu lowered his head slightly, his eyes dim and unclear. He was silent for a while, then chuckled, "Five thousand gold... this is obviously for me."

"Madam, tell the slaves to go." Bai Ji clenched his fists and couldn't bear his temper, "If you dare to blame the Houfu, it will be bad luck for them!"

"No." Fang Xu shook his head, with a calm expression, "This was done deliberately, not just a ploy."

"My arm was broken before they came. If you touch him, he will lie on the ground and blackmail you. If you are afraid of them, you owe countless debts. If you report it to the official, you will not have a shred of evidence, so you can only Admit defeat.”

Fang Xu sneered, "This is the most disgusting method in the business world. I don't need to say more about who is behind the scenes, right?"

Bai Ji was stunned, and Su Zi also turned dark.

"Madam, can we just put up with this bad breath?" Bai Ji gritted his teeth, his face full of dissatisfaction.

Fang Xu held the tea cup, and the hot air spread upward, covering her expression. All she could hear was her calm voice, "I have never been angry before in my life."
