Chapter 17

Everyone present was shocked by Fang Xu's words, and the spacious hall was silent for a long time.

Xie Li looked at Fang Xu with deep eyes and lost all reaction.

My mother just said that my eldest brother is useless, does that mean... that I can fight for it?
Fang Lan blinked her eyes, pursed her lips and smiled, "You are the mistress here, and you have the final say on the rules and regulations."

"Please sister." Fang Xu nodded, his eyes fell on Xie Li not far away, and whispered, "Remember your aunt's love, study hard, and don't let down our expectations of you."

Xie Li's body trembled slightly, and it took him a while before he responded, "My son knows."

Fang Lan pinched Fang Xu's fingertips and smiled lightly, "Xiao Xu, I see that the children are a little tired. If we don't let them do their own thing, let's tie the children here and ask them to listen to the adults. It’s really boring.”

Fang Xu knew that her sister had some secret words to tell her.

Fang Xu raised the corners of his mouth, waved his hands towards Xie Li and Xie Wanzhou, and said softly, "Since my aunt has spoken, you all can go down."

The two were obedient. After hearing this, they stood up, bowed, and walked out side by side.

It wasn't until the two of them were no longer visible that Fang Xu turned back to look at her and whispered, "Sister...but you have something to tell me?"

"Xiao Xu is still so smart." Fang Lan grinned. Even though he was only in his early thirties, he was still well-maintained. "Marquis Yongcheng is gone. My sister knows that your life is difficult. If there is anything in short supply in the house, feel free to come to my sister. "

"Of course I won't be polite to my sister." Fang Xu shrugged, with an easy-going expression, "Sister and I have to take care of each other."

As soon as the words fell, Fang Lan's face changed in vain. The smile on his face was no longer there, but was filled with sadness, "Actually speaking... I also want to ask my sister for help with something."

Since getting off the carriage, Fang Lan has been like a heartless little sun. This is the first time Fang Xu has seen her frown. It must be something serious.

"What's on your mind, sister? It's okay to say it." Fang Xu heard this, moved closer, and asked in a low voice, "But the King of War is not good to you?"

Hearing this, Fang Lan shook his head like a rattle. He was afraid that his sister would misunderstand his brother-in-law, so he gesticulated hurriedly, "No, no, the prince is naturally very good to me!"

"It's just..." Fang Lan frowned even more tightly, touched his lower abdomen with his fingertips, and whispered, "It's just that I'm not up to par. I haven't been able to give the prince a son and a half for so many years. It's useless. I drank a lot but still couldn’t change anything..."

"During this period, the old concubine was clamoring to take a concubine for the prince. The noise gave the prince a headache, so he took me to another courtyard." Fang Lan's heart was filled with sadness, and he lowered his head and said, "A few days ago, the prince's soldiers brought their children When I came to visit, I watched with my own eyes the prince teasing the little boy with a smile on his face..."

Halfway through the words, Xu mentioned his sadness, and Fang Lan stopped talking.

At this time, the little round-faced man suddenly ran to the center of the hall, knelt down in front of the two of them, and said in a choked voice, "Madam, please save our princess!"

When Fang Xu saw this, he paused and said slowly, "Get up first and tell me in detail what happened."

The little round-faced man responded, stood up, tears falling down his cheeks, "In reply to Madam, because of the heir, the princess is walking on thin ice in the house. Except for the prince, everyone else listens to the old concubine and doesn't care much about the princess... "

"Madam, our princess only has you as her relative, please help her!"

Fang Lan's face turned pale and he just looked down at his fingertips.

"Sister, what do you need me to do?" Fang Xu raised his eyes and looked at Fang Lan to one side. "I don't know either." Fang Lan shook his head and said softly, "Right now, the old concubine has pointed out two ways for me. One is to take a concubine for the prince, and the other... is to choose a concubine from among the clan's children. Keep it under your knees.”

Fang Xu raised his chin slightly, sat quietly, and opened his lips slightly when he heard the words, "What do you think, sister?"

"Which woman is willing to take a concubine for her husband?" Fang Lan bit her lower lip, hatred bursting out of her eyes, "I have to choose the second one!"

Fang Xu took a sip of tea, slowly put down the tea cup, and moved his hands and feet without losing everyone's style, "I have an idea."

Fang Lan was startled, surprise flashed across his face, "What method?"

"Sister doesn't need to know, just watch the show." Fang Xu calmly said in a calm tone, "Tonight, my sister persuaded the prince to return to the main house. Early tomorrow morning, he pretended to be sick and refused to see the guests."

Fang Xu turned his head to look at Su Zi behind him and said softly, "Write a envelope and deliver it to Prince Zhan's Mansion tomorrow morning. Just say that I am here to visit my sister because of my dear sister."

After instructing Su Zi, Fang Xu turned around, looked at Fang Lan with a smile, patted the back of her hand, and said comfortingly, "Sister, just hand over the family rights to me. Give me three days, and I will give my sister some peace." 's home."

"Don't worry, my father left early. You and I will depend on each other in the future, and I won't make you suffer in vain."

Fang Xu's words rang in her ears, and for a moment, her face overlapped with that of the little girl who would only follow behind her when she was young.

Fang Lan's eyes heated up, she turned around and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, choking and saying, "Xiao Xu, you have changed so much that my sister almost doesn't recognize you anymore."

Fang Xu's heart tightened, and he loosened his hold on her hand, "Really?"

Fang Lan nodded and said with a smile, "In the past, you would only follow me and cry when you encountered difficulties. You were like a little crybaby. You would cry and ask your father and me to help you solve anything."

"Now," Fang Lan's eyes were bright and she had regained her previous vitality, "You can protect your sister. If your father knows about it, your spirit in heaven will also be comforted."

Fang Xu lowered his eyes, his original mean face flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.

The Fang sisters chatted for a full hour and a half. From relatives of the emperor to a yellow-skinned dog raised by Dongcheng Baozi Shop, no living creature could escape the lips of the two sisters.

Fang Lan liked to inquire about gossip, but Fang Xu also liked to listen. The two hit it off and talked to many people. Thanks to Fang Lan's mouth, Fang Xu, who was not very familiar with Beijing, seemed to have started a strategy. It suddenly opened up a lot.

It wasn't until Bai Ji served the two of them tea for the sixth time that the War King sent someone to pick them up.

Fang Lan reluctantly said goodbye to her sister, and got into the carriage with three turns.

"Sister, don't forget about tomorrow morning." Fang Xu stood in front of the mansion and waved towards the carriage.

"Don't worry, I won't forget it!" Fang Lan sat in the car, stuck his head out, and waved his hands vigorously, "I didn't have enough fun chatting today. Come find me tomorrow and we can continue chatting!"

Hearing this, the maids beside them all turned pale.

Still talking? !
The house is running out of tea!
