Don't ask where people go

Chapter 1265 Showers

Fang Zilan's eyes finally fell on the wooden box, but it only stayed for a moment before falling back on Ah Shi, "Ah Shi, you used me to escape from the world, used me to enter the Fang family, and now you can give me back, how about it?"

Ah Shi pursed her lips and said, "But it depends on Miss Fang San's orders."

"You take these back to the north, and it's up to you to decide how to deal with them. But..." Fang Zilan paused and said decisively: "Don't appear in front of me again."

Ah Shi looked at Fang Zilan in disbelief, but saw her raise her hand and push the wooden box into her arms, "Since you chose the Fang family, I don't have to choose you anymore.

Fang Zilan roughly went through the documents on the case, and then assigned them to different people to handle. It was already past noon when the work was completed. She felt hungry in her belly and was about to go out to eat something when she saw Zhuge Yu walking in with lunch.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but sigh, "Ayu, you are so considerate."

Zhuge Yu put the lunch on the table while listening to her sigh: "I thought that the youngest son in the family like A Yu would be treated as a treasure and raised with incomparable wealth. I never thought that he could be so good at taking care of others. "

"In my generation, apart from my elder brother, I am the only one of the Zhuge clan in the capital." Zhuge Yu said with an indifferent expression, "My elder brothers are often away from home, so naturally I can only take care of my grandfather and elders at home. As time goes by, I will get used to it."

Fang Zilan was keenly aware that she might have said something she shouldn't have said, so she was silent for a moment before speaking again and said, "Speaking of which, these days when I have been closed down, the government has accumulated a lot of official work. I'm afraid they have to be busy. It’s been a while.”

Zhuge Yu didn't say anything, he just looked at her steadily until her hand holding the chopsticks stopped, "A Yu?"

"Sister Lan, do you really want to keep Mo Han in the capital?" Zhuge Yu asked suddenly. Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment and whispered: "That kid Mo Han has always had good ideas, I'm afraid he can't help me."

A flash of astonishment flashed in Zhuge Yu's eyes, "Can't you help me?"

"Yes." Fang Zilan smiled and said helplessly: "He relies on me to pamper him. He has been like this since he was a child. As long as he opens his mouth, I can't do anything to him."

"Since childhood?" Zhuge Yu repeated the word, and Fang Zilan looked a little more nostalgic, "We grew up together since childhood, but unfortunately we got separated later. Now that I find him again, I can't bear to push him away. "

"The land of tigers and wolves is not suitable for a white rabbit to live." Zhuge Yu looked away and said coldly: "If he stays, he will die without a burial place."

Hearing this, Fang Zilan murmured as if to herself: "I'm here, can't I protect him?"

Zhuge Yu glanced at her and shook his head gently, "If you continue to break up, you will suffer." After saying that, he turned and left.

Fang Zilan finished her lunch without any taste, stood up and planned to go for a walk in the courtyard, when she heard reports from subordinate officials that the verification part had been completed.

She checked it again, made sure there was nothing wrong, and left for the Ministry of Finance. The current Minister of Hubu was originally a disciple of the Pei family. He entered the Hubu when he first entered the officialdom. He was promoted by Pei Juqing, Duke of Jui.

Although the Pei family is standing behind the Secretary of the Household Department, he is not rigid and strong. On the contrary, he has a smiling face and is surprisingly easy to talk to. No matter what Fang Zilan says, he nods in agreement, but when the topic comes to the topic, he looks away from him. After a whole hour, Fang Zilan was so thirsty with him, but he still smiled and handed her tea and water to persuade her not to get angry. His smile was like a friendly lucky cat, which made her lose her temper. Losing his temper, he could only go home in the end.

Zhuge Yu was not surprised to see her return without success, but comforted him: "The Minister of the Ministry of Finance is a smooth man, and it is not easy to deal with him. This matter cannot be rushed, and must be discussed in the long run."

Fang Zilan thought that she really couldn't deal with someone who was as slippery as a loach. He immediately put the documents back and said exhaustedly: "Ayu, I'll be here today. You can let everyone go. I'll think of a solution tomorrow."

Zhuge Yu agreed and after dismissing everyone, he saw Fang Zilan walking out of the government office alone, dragging a long shadow. He thought for a while but didn't catch up after all.

Li Shengxuan didn't speak. Fang Zilan put away the dagger and said solemnly: "It is foolish to cut one's heart out and prove it by oneself. Even if I cut out my heart today and put it in His Majesty's hands, I'm afraid His Majesty won't believe me. By then I will not only lose He lost his life and proved nothing.”

She puffed up her sleeves and continued speaking to herself, "I remember His Majesty once told me that the word trust should be applied to the situation rather than the person. Since Your Majesty thinks that I am trustworthy, you might as well give me more time. I can't do anything to King Rong'an today, but given time I will be able to bring him to justice."

Li Shengxuan whispered to himself: "How long does it take to see people's hearts?" However, the only answer he received was silence.

Fang Zilan stopped talking. She handed over the Tiger Talisman and confessed every word. She had put her life in Li Shengxuan's hands. Believe it or not, it was all in his mind. Her life and death were just a matter of his words.

She didn't know how long it had passed before she heard Li Shengxuan's voice, which was cold and lonely, "I don't blame you for your selfishness. But you know, since ancient times, it's hard to have both loyalty and justice, and you have to make a choice after all."

Fang Zilan said without giving up a word: "No matter what, I will take up the responsibility as the Duke of the Kingdom of Yue. But Mo Han is my only relative in this world, and I must protect him even if I risk my life." "

"Fang Zilan, what kind of situation have you put me in?" Li Shengxuan clenched his hands in his sleeves into fists and said angrily: "Or do you think I will tolerate you again and again?"

"Whether His Majesty will tolerate me or not is your Majesty's business. I dare not comment on it." Fang Zilan had no expression on her face, but her words were stubborn and cold, "But what I have done is worthy of my conscience."

"What a clear conscience." Li Shengxuan walked up to her and looked at her condescendingly, "The Duke of Yue, Zi Lan, has no intention of repenting. From now on, he is banned from the house and is not allowed to step out of the house. If he violates the rules, he will be killed without mercy. "

Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, I have received the decree to express my gratitude. Thank you very much, Your Majesty." After saying that, she stood up and left without looking back.

Li Shengxuan lowered his eyes and looked at the half piece of white jade tiger talisman placed on the ground, and a voice in his heart kept shouting - kill her and you will not lose. But there was another voice saying - if you kill her, you will definitely lose.

If I had known this, I should have listened to Zhuge Yu's advice from the beginning, be cautious, and not gamble on this game, otherwise I would not be in such a difficult situation today.

At this point, even if he is deceiving others, he cannot deceive himself. His heart was shaken even more.
