Competing

Chapter 420 Disaster on Xiao Qiang
"You have all prepared meticulously. There should be no mistakes in the dinner party. Be careful!"

Because of the family association, there are a lot of things in the Fan family's mansion. Fan Yilan's mother is not in good condition, and Yilan takes care of the big things. As for the small things like preparing the dinner party, I leave them to Fan Wenxuan's favorite concubine Ji Ruxue host.

Although the difference between the Fan family and the concubine is very clear, it was to the master at that time.After all, Ruxue is regarded as the concubine of the master of the family, and is very favored, so she is definitely regarded as the master to the servants.At this time, after some training, a group of servants did not dare to make a sound.

"Aunt Ruxue, what made you angry?"

"It's nothing, the uncle is going to entertain the third master and some stewards tonight, so be stricter." Ruxue's attitude changed suddenly, and all the servants saw it in their hearts, it was jealousy in their hearts!

They are both servants, but Cai'er is Miss Yilan's personal maid, so the treatment is naturally different.It's no wonder, according to the dignity in the mansion, even Ruxue would bend her head and bow her head when she saw Miss Yilan.

"Oh, thank you, Auntie, I'll drop by to pick up the young lady's dinner!"

A cook had already brought a food box and said, "Miss Cai'er, Missy's meal is ready!"

"Farewell first, don't bother Auntie!"

"Cai'er, go slowly, and say hello to the eldest lady for me!"

Seeing Cai'er's leaving back, Ruxue's face suddenly turned cold, and she humbly apologized that the smiling face had a hard time, not to mention that the woman was just a maid.Let's be proud first, let's see who is the real master after today, there is a cold smile on the corner of Ruxue's mouth, no one noticed.

But Cai Er took the food box and walked back, Fan Yilan's residence is closer to the high place behind the villa.One is that Miss Fan likes to be quiet, and the other is that standing there can see the shore of Penglize Lake. People often see Miss Yilan leaning on the building to look into the distance.I always thought that she liked the scenery of Zhenze, but I didn't know that she was looking forward to someone, waiting for a memory that belonged to her alone.

Cai'er walked a long way, but when she passed the bamboo forest, she heard someone rustling, followed by someone calling.

"Cai'er..."

"Who?" Cai'er stopped involuntarily, looked around, looking for the source of the voice.

"Cai'er, come here!"

Cai'er walked to the edge of the bamboo forest, only to see a person waving to her among the thick green bamboos, so she walked over.When he saw the face of the visitor clearly, his eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth to say hello: "Fan...Zi..."

Who knew that just as he opened his mouth, he saw the man make a silent movement.

Cai'er hastily lowered her voice and said, "Brother Fan Zi, why are you here? The young master is back?"

This person is Fan Zi, the chief steward, and he shook his head and said, "Cai'er, don't ask so many questions, find a way to take me to see the eldest lady, there is a very important matter."

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Cai'er soon realized that Fan Zi's clothes were a little downcast, which was not suitable for the status of the manager of the Fan family.Even if you want to see the eldest lady, you just have to ask for it openly, so why be so sneaky?
Fan Zi said: "The matter is very important. I can't say a word or two clearly. Let me see the eldest lady quickly, otherwise something serious will happen."

"Uh……"

Fan Zi said: "It is related to the safety of the young master and the master...don't delay any longer."

Seeing Fan Zi's serious words, Cai'er was apprehensive, and nodded in agreement.

Fan Zi added: "Don't let people know that I'm back, don't let the wind out!"

Cai Er couldn't help showing a perplexed look on her face, what happened today, although she had doubts in her heart, she could see that something serious happened, so she followed Fan Zi's request.

Fan Yilan met Fan Zi in the small building with a puzzled face, only her maid Caier was by her side.

When seeing Fan Yilan, Fan Zi immediately fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face.

Fan Yilan is an extremely intelligent woman. Fan Zi came to see her in such an abnormal way, and at this moment, she had this reaction again, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart, and asked, "Fan Zi, where's the elder brother?"

Fan Zi broke down in tears and said after a long time: "Miss, Fan Zi is incompetent and failed to protect the young master, the young master is no longer here!"

"What?" Fan Yilan felt as though struck by lightning, and immediately slumped on the couch, eyes full of shock and sadness.

"Is this not true? Brother Fan Zi, are you confused?" The news was indeed so unexpected that even Cai Er who was standing aside couldn't believe it.

Fan Zi sobbed in a low voice: "The young master really left!"

Fan Wenxuan's direct children are only Fan Yang and Fan Yilan. The two of them can be said to be brothers and sisters. Now hearing the news of her brother's death, Fan Yilan is very sad and feels extremely heavy. Two lines of tears have already hung on her face at some point .

"Tell me, what happened?" Although Fan Yilan was sad, she knew that things would not be so simple, otherwise Fan Zi could have reported the funeral openly instead of meeting her in such a secret way.

"Miss, there is a mole in the Fan family..."

One sentence shocked Fan Yilan's heart, and Cai'er, who was on the side, was convinced that something serious had really happened.

"That day..."

On that day, Fan Yang used his last strength to let the carriage fall off the cliff. It was the second day that Fan Elin found the carriage under the cliff. There were only two corpses among the wreckage of the carriage.In other words, Fan Zi was still alive, and this incident terrified Fan Elin, who immediately began to hunt him down.

At this time, Fan Zi had already headed south with the child in his arms. The goal of a big man with a child was too obvious, and Fan Elin's hands had spotted him several times. Fortunately, he escaped cleverly.Moreover, the child is too young, and feeding and daily care are very difficult.When Fan Zi was helpless, he found some fleeing teams.

They are people whose hometown was destroyed because of the Battle of Pengcheng, and they are really tired of the frequent wars in the north.I heard that the Yue Kingdom in the east of the Yangtze River took in refugees from the north and distributed them houses and land.So they wanted to try it. Fan Zi found a woman who had just died and her family was short of food and clothing. She was very poor.

Fan Zi wanted to pay a lot of money, and promised to give a generous reward after arriving in Jiangdong, so he persuaded the woman to take care of the child.He also mixed in among the refugees, deceived Fan Elin's pursuit, and then hurried back to Jiangdong. Fortunately, the clan meeting has not yet been held.

He originally wanted to go to see Fan Wenxuan directly, but he randomly thought that Fan Wenke was the head of the family, and he would be very busy when the clan meeting was held, so it would not be easy to meet him.Moreover, Fan Wenxuan's target was too big, and it was easy to expose his tracks. When the opponent was not fully confirmed, it was not appropriate to startle the enemy.

He remembered Fan Yang's last words and came to see Fan Yilan.It would be more convenient to tell Fan Wenxuan in this way, even if there was something to do, the eldest lady would come to make up her mind.

As the top four confidantes of the Fan family, they were once in charge of the defense of Zhenze Villa and were very familiar with every corner of the villa, so they sneaked in to see Fan Yilan.

Although it was easy to enter the villa, how to avoid other people and meet Fan Yilan was a bit difficult.When he was anxious, he happened to see Cai Er passing by.Fan Zi knew that Cai'er was a confidant maid who had followed the eldest lady for many years, and she had some relationship with her, so she tried to find a way to meet Fan Yilan.

Fan Yilan listened to Fan Zi's report calmly, and saw Fan Yang's blood-stained code before he died. Only she and her father could understand it, and she was convinced that what Fan Zi said was true.Shen Sheng asked: "Where is the eldest brother's child?"

Fan Yang was dead, and that child was his eldest brother's only blood, that is, the only eldest grandson of the Fan family. She had an obligation to protect that child.

Fan Zi said: "It has been properly placed in Wuzhong City, no one knows the identity of the young master, nothing will happen."

"Okay!" Fan Yilan responded, and then asked: "You mean that there are spies in the Fan family, and you suspect that there is something wrong with Dingtao?"

Fan Zi nodded and said, "Yes, only Fan Bai and Fan Jin know about the young master's whereabouts, and the problem probably lies with them."

"Bai and Jin?" Fan Yilan restrained his anger and said in a low voice, "Then why are they? Why did they kill Big Brother? What good is it for them?"

Fan Zi shook his head and said: "This is exactly what my subordinates don't understand. I have tried it in the Dingtao area, and some contact points of the family are no longer reliable. Those are under the jurisdiction of the two of them. Over the years, they have been Their confidants..."

"It seems that something is wrong with Dingtao. What are they going to do with Fan Bai or Fan Jin?" Fan Yilan was very puzzled. Now she wanted to find out who the other party was and what he wanted to do.
"Brother is gone, who benefits the most?" Fan Yilan couldn't figure out what the platinum and gold were thinking for a while, so she had to reason in reverse from the perspective of benefit.

There should be no vendetta. There must be something wrong with it. Since there are traces of the participation of the Fan family, it means that the beneficiary is within the Fan family.

Fan Yang is the eldest son. If he dies, then the Fan family's inheritance rights...Fan Yilan has several concubine younger brothers, but they are all mediocre. They cannot do such a thing.What's more, the head of the family presumably is inherited by the legitimate son, and then the difference between the elder and the younger is discussed.

Young or old?Fan Yilan's heart suddenly trembled, remembering the fight for power in the tribe from the youngest son a few years ago.Later, the third uncle Fan Wenke took over the affairs of Qidi to calm down.

Third Uncle...Fan Yilan thought of Fan Wenke.

The third uncle has always been very dissatisfied with his father, and perhaps he has resented him for a long time. Now that he has been in business for several years, he has cultivated his own influence.Fan Yilan clearly realized that her father's supervision had gotten out of control.

Judging from various sources of information, the third uncle has hooked up with Liu Bang, the King of Han, and his father has also taken a fancy to Liu Bang. Competition and conflicts have reappeared, and it is entirely possible for Fan Wenke to do anything to leave the cabinet.

Disaster caused Xiao Qiang!
Fan Yang is dead, if anything happens to Fan Wenxuan, and there is support from his confidantes and stewards, then...

Fan Yilan's tender body suddenly trembled, worrying about her father's safety...
