When he arrived at the government office, he was told that Chen Yuanjing was meeting guests. After waiting for a while, he saw a middle-aged man with a slightly stout figure walking out. When he saw Fang Lian'er, his face suddenly darkened, and he took two steps in three steps.
He walked over, grabbed her wrist, and said coldly: "Let's go back with me!"
Fang Lian'er seemed to be quite afraid of this middle-aged man. When he was caught, he didn't dare to resist. It wasn't until he was about to step out of the threshold that he seemed to come to his senses. He held on to the door knocker and said stubbornly: "No! I
If I don’t go back, I won’t go back until I overturn the case for Chen Yi and restore his innocence!”
The middle-aged man's face became more and more ugly, and he shouted angrily: "Chen Yi Chen Yi! I think you are obsessed with ghosts. You don't even return home and don't recognize your parents because of a vicious murderer!"
"He didn't kill anyone, you wronged him!" Fang Lian'er screamed. The middle-aged man was so strong that he pulled her wrist so hard that it felt like it was about to break. Cold sweat broke out on her head.
"You rebellious girl!" The middle-aged man was so angry that he slapped Fang Lian'er on the face, "I have raised you for so many years in vain, and yet you don't trust your parents to trust an outsider. For him, the rich daughter of the Weaving House went everywhere
When you show up in public, wearing clothes that look like a mourning heir, people who don't know about it will think that your parents are dead!"
Hearing this, Yinzhen vaguely guessed the identity of the middle-aged man, who must be Fang Ping, a weaver from Hangzhou. He didn't expect that Fang Lian'er's relationship with her father was so bad.
"Brother Fang, if you have something to say, please speak slowly and don't do anything." Chen Yuanjing heard the commotion outside and hurried out to take a look. He saw such a scene and quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.
Fang Ping threw his hands away angrily and said: "What else is there to say? This rebellious girl wants to piss me off to death! The draft will be held next year, but here she is involved with the death row prisoner named Zhao. If word spreads to the capital,
, it doesn’t matter if my old face is gone, the whole Fang family will be implicated by her!"
"That's enough!" Fang Lian'er screamed and said angrily: "Don't take out the Fang family at every turn. I am your daughter, not a tool in your hands. I have my own thoughts and I don't want to participate in the draft.
I don’t want to be a concubine, I just want to live the life I want. Is this luxurious? Or do you just care about your own future, and you can sacrifice your daughter’s happiness for the sake of a high official and a good salary!"
"A rebellious girl! A rebellious girl!" Fang Ping's heart ached when he heard Fang Lian'er's words. He didn't know what else to say besides these words.
Chen Yuanjing saw Yinzhen, but it was really inconvenient to say more in this situation. He took Fang Ping's arm and half dragged him to the flower hall where he was sitting before, "Brother Fang, please calm down, my niece is still young and immature.
Don't argue with him."
"Fifteen years old is not a young age. It's all my fault that my wife and I spoiled her rotten, making her so ignorant that the Fang family may be destroyed in her hands." Fang Ping said sadly.
"Brother Fang, there is no need to be so pessimistic. In my opinion, my niece still understands the truth. It's just that she is obsessed with love at the moment and can't tell right from wrong. It will be fine when this obsession is over." At this point, Chen Yuanjing patted him.
He said sincerely over his shoulder: "You are two fathers and daughters after all. Don't act like enemies as soon as you meet. Take your time!"
"Take your time?" Fang Ping said with a bitter smile: "I'm afraid she hasn't figured it out yet, but the Fang family has already caused a huge disaster!" He stopped Chen Yuanjing who was still talking, "Brother, we are the same age and good friends.
You also see how dangerous what Lian'er is doing now is, so in short, I just want to say, since we have encountered her today, even if she is kidnapped, she will be kidnapped back home, so don't worry about her."
Chen Yuanjing smiled bitterly and said: "I don't care, but someone has to." Under Fang Ping's confused eyes, he whispered: "Have you seen the man who came with Lian'er?"
Fang Ping was slightly startled, and subconsciously glanced outside. Although he was just standing quietly, there was a mysterious aura that made it difficult for people to understand, "Who is he?"
Chen Yuanjing hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't say who he is, but I call him Fourth Master. Just think about it, how many Fourth Masters there are in this world."
Fang Ping was not a fool, and with Chen Yuanjing's deliberate prompting, he suddenly thought of Yinzhen's identity. His surprise was extraordinary, and he widened his eyes and said, "The one in Beijing?"
As Chen Yuanjing nodded, Fang Ping lost even the last trace of doubt. He believed that this man of the same year would not be innocent, but he never expected that the Fourth Master, known as the cold-faced brother, would come to Hangzhou quietly. There was no news about it before.
I haven’t heard of it, so why would Lian’er end up walking with him?
Chen Yuanjing saw the doubt in his heart, shook his head and said: "I don't know how Lian'er met him, but looking at Lian'er's appearance, it seems that he still doesn't know his true identity."
"Did Lian'er ask Fourth Master to reverse the case for that brat named Zhao?!" The anger that had finally been suppressed rose again with these words.
"A while ago, Fourth Master came to ask about the Zhao family's case. However, I didn't want to overturn the case. I just wanted to conduct a thorough investigation again." At this point, Chen Yuanjing suddenly showed a smile, "Brother Fang, there is no need to be angry in a hurry.
, in fact, this is not a bad thing for you
Do you think that Zhao Chenyi's murder of eleven members of the Zhao family has been proven by both witnesses and materials, and it is conclusive. Only my niece does not believe it. If the fourth master proves Zhao Chenyi's crime again, her niece will not be able to admit it even if she wants to.
Just enough to make her give up on Zhao Chenyi."
Fang Ping grinded it carefully and realized that this was really the case. He felt a little better, but he was also worried that if Fang Lian'er's words just now were heard by Yinzhen, it would bring some hidden danger to the Fang family. After all, Yinzhen
But the emperor's son.
Chen Yuanjing thought for a while and said: "In my opinion, the fourth master is not as ruthless as the rumors say. On the contrary, he is very affectionate and righteous, otherwise he would not have helped his niece to investigate the case; and I have been here just now.
Pay attention to his words, deeds, and expressions. There is no anger or displeasure. It should not be a problem. It's okay. Just relax. Now, you sit down for a while, and I'll go talk to my niece and the others."
"Oh, this rebellious girl really wanted to make me and her mother angry to death before she would give up." Fang Ping sighed, with unspeakable bitterness. If Lian'er hadn't gotten sick in the forty-sixth year of Kangxi's reign, nothing would have changed.
It has to be as out of control as it is now. No matter whether it is selected or returned to the family, at least there is no need to be as worried as it is now.
Let's say that after Chen Yuanjing comforted Fang Ping, he came to the main hall. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yinzhen sitting at the top and Ling Ruo sitting beside him, whispering to comfort Fang Lian'er who couldn't help crying.
There was a large bruise on it, probably from the minor injury caused by the tugging between Fang Ping and Cai Cai just now.
