Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 287: Worrying

"It's you, haha, have you had breakfast? Let's eat together?" Yang Qian recognized the woman beside him as a student from the academy who had worked in the porridge shop when he caught Tan Wen and the other two a few days ago. She served him pickles and thanked him.

The woman bowed, then sat down on a stool beside her and introduced herself, "Sir, my name is Fang Yuan, and I came here to talk to you about something."

Fang Yuan mustered up a lot of courage to come here. After all, this was the first time in her life that she had taken the initiative to talk to a man. If she hadn't been so anxious, she wouldn't have been so impulsive.

Yang Qian could naturally see the anxiety in the eyes of the woman named Fang Yuan, but he didn't think much about her identity. He thought she was in trouble and wanted his help.

Looking at her carefully, she has delicate features with a little makeup on, not that frail and sickly look, but full of energy, with a tall and well-proportioned figure. Although she cannot be called stunning, she can be called beautiful.

But the woman's next words made Yang Qian a little stunned.

"My lord, someone wants to harm you!"

"Huh?" Yang Qian didn't come to his senses for a moment.

After the woman said it a second time, she smiled and said, "Miss Fang, what do you mean by that? Where did you hear that from?"

Fang Yuan saw Yang Qian eating breakfast while smiling nonchalantly and not panicking at all, so she said anxiously: "Sir, what I said is absolutely true. I saw it in my father's letter."

"Your father?" Yang Qian looked over curiously at this time.

Fang Yuan nodded and began to speak, saying, "Sir, my father is Fang Ce, the judge of the academy."

Strategy?!
As soon as this name came out, Yang Qian suddenly remembered that when he first went to Fang's house, a woman came to him and took the orphan Zhu Yun from his arms. At that time, the woman was dressed in palace clothes, and he did not associate her with the woman in school clothes in front of him, but now he realized it.

It turns out that this Fang Yuan is Fang Ce’s daughter!
Is this the marriage my mother arranged for me?

It's not Yang Qian's fault for being slow to react. He had really given up the idea of ​​getting married a long time ago, and he had completely forgotten about it because of all the recent troubles. Thinking about it now, he felt quite caught off guard.

As Fang Yuan continued to talk, Yang Qian finally understood what was going on.

The cause was a letter Fang Ce received. After reading the letter, Fang Ce flew into a rage and cursed some high-ranking officials in the imperial court and the aristocratic families in the imperial city in his study. He mentioned Yang Qian's name many times.

This made Fang Yuan a little worried, so she sneaked into the study when Fang Ce went to the academy and found the letter. After reading it, she hurriedly went to Yang Qian to inform him.

Fang Yuan saw that Yang Qian did not look angry or worried, and he did not even stop eating his breakfast. When she finished speaking, Yang Qian had even finished his breakfast and was wiping his mouth.

He wasn't panicked or angry at all? Fang Yuan was surprised. Then she remembered what the book said: "The mountain collapsed in front of him, but his expression remained unchanged." Maybe this was what Lord Yang was like?

Isn't this much better than my dad's constant surprise? Fang Yuan couldn't help but think.

Yang Qian smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Is there something on my face?"

"Ah! No, it's me. Sir, don't you want to think of a solution?" Fang Yuan's pretty face flushed, her neck was red, and she stuttered for a long time before she got back to the topic. Yang Qian didn't think much about it. He just felt that this woman was a little impetuous and well-behaved. He smiled and said, "Solution? There is a corresponding price for doing everything. It doesn't mean that you can avoid the price if you do the right thing. Other people's jealousy, hatred, suspicion, these are unavoidable. I had expected what you said before.

It doesn't matter, they are just a bunch of clowns, they can only disgust people in the gutter, they dare not face me directly. Even if you really give me a promotion as you said, it won't affect anything, it's nothing more than changing my job.

But I still want to thank Miss Fang. This incident also made me understand the general situation, and I will be more comfortable dealing with it in the future."

Yang Qian bowed his hands in thanks. Since the other person was kind, he naturally had to accept it. Besides, he had a good impression of this woman. She didn't have the slightest bit of the arrogance of a rich family. It was true that a family of scholars was very different from aristocratic families.

Fang Yuan quickly returned the greeting. She wanted to talk more with Yang Qian, but she found that more and more people were curious about her sitting next to Yang Qian, so her cheeks were hot, she hummed, stood up and said goodbye, taking small steps without even turning her head.

Fang Yuan jogged all the way back to the Fang Mansion through the back door.

Her chest was heaving violently, she was gasping for breath, and her face was red and sweaty. This look was inconsistent with her upbringing. At least, it was definitely not the elegance and indifference that a lady should have.

"Huff, huff, huff." Fang Yuan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself as quickly as possible, worried that she would be scolded if her mother or father saw her.

But maybe she came in too hastily, or maybe her mind was not on the present at all, and she was still somewhere else and couldn't get it back. Fang Yuan didn't notice that a woman in her fifties was looking at her with a half-smile, only a few feet away from her.

"Where have you been? Why are you running so early in the morning?"

The woman's words frightened Fang Yuan, who was trying to calm her breathing, so much that her whole body stiffened. She turned her head and looked at the other person, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Didn't I tell you to stay at home these few days? You left through the back door early in the morning and came back drenched in sweat. Look at you now. How do you look like a lady from a wealthy family? Tell me, where have you been?"

"Mom! I, I just went out for a walk! I didn't want to disturb you, so I left through the back door. The weather is getting hot now, and it's normal to sweat a little when walking fast. Besides, I'm wearing a school shirt, so I didn't embarrass my family!"

The woman was both angry and amused. Her daughter had been hanging out in the academy since she was young, and had acquired many of the stubbornness of scholars. She had her own ideas, and was always bold and reckless and dared to do whatever she thought of. As a mother, she sometimes really didn't know how to discipline her, especially as she watched her grow up day by day, and the feeling of being out of control and helpless became more and more serious.

"How dare you say that! Believe it or not, I will hit you!" The woman pretended to hit him.

Fang Yuan immediately ran over and hugged her mother, resting her head on her shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Mom, I know I'm wrong, please don't hit me!"

"Tsk! You know how to act like a spoiled child now? Weren't you lying enthusiastically just now?"

"Humph! I didn't lie!"

"Still being stubborn!" The woman tapped Fang Yuan on the forehead and continued, "You sneaked out this morning, and Lao Chen and Li San at home were worried that something might happen to you, so they followed you. Li San came back early and told me what you did! Why don't you tell me the truth?"

"Ah?!" Fang Yuan's pretty face flushed red, knowing that she couldn't get away with it today.
