female catcher

Chapter 82

Seeing Fang Jian's remorse and helplessness, Xia Chu felt pity in his heart.Because of the investigation of the case, she also got to know Fang Jian a little bit.

Back then, Fang Jian was bitten by Yuan Weizhen for impeaching the current emperor's uncle Yuan Weizhen.Fortunately, the late emperor had already had the idea of ​​rectifying Yuan Weizhen in his heart, so he didn't kill him, he was just demoted and assigned.

Fang Jian is a loyal minister with a very tough bone, but when facing Fang Yi and Fang Ruolan, she couldn't be tough.From Fang Yi's narration, it can be seen that he was even a little flattering to these two children.

Xia Chu was a little distracted, Jiang Xiyuan waited for a while without hearing Xia Chu's question again, looked at her suspiciously, pushed her elbow, and then called Xia Chu's attention back.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Xiyuan asked her in a low voice.

Xia Chu was a little embarrassed, shook his head, and continued to cheer up and asked, "Master Fang, why are your son and your daughter not engaged?"

"After I returned to Beijing, I separated the family, and then I started to make an engagement for them. Ruolan was still very hostile to me at that time, saying that I wanted to break up their siblings and drive her away as soon as I came back. Fang Yi's marriage The decision has not been smooth, but there are quite a few people who want to marry Ruo Lan. But the child is very stubborn, saying that her brother will not decide to kiss her. I..., alas, I really have no choice in front of these two children. What kind of father's majesty is the qualification?" Fang Jian lowered her head and sighed.

Jiang Xiyuan and Xia Chu exchanged a look, thinking that things might really be as they had guessed.

Just as he was talking, Fang Yi came back. When he came in and saw the two of Xia Chu, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, and frowned slightly, "Master Jiang, Butou Xia, you two are..."

"They came to Ruo Lan to ask something." Fang Jian said, "Where is Ruo Lan? Why didn't you come back with you?"

"Ruolan? Has she not come back yet?"

Several people in the room were stunned. Fang Jian stood up first and said in a panic, "Didn't she go out with you?"

"That's right. I'm going to return the book I borrowed to my friend. I was supposed to go there in the morning." Fang Yi glanced at Jiang Xiyuan, "Ruo Lan said when he was going out that he was going to the Rouge Shop to choose a gift for his friend's birthday. So go with me. How..."

Halfway through the conversation, Fang Yi stopped talking, turned around and walked out, "I'll look for it."

Jiang Xiyuan and Xia Chu also got up, bid farewell to Fang Jian in a hurry, and left Fang Mansion with Fang Yi.The three of them went to the rouge shop in Dongshi first, and described it to the clerk of the shop. The clerk said that there was indeed a girl in purple clothes who came to buy a box of face powder in the afternoon.

A few people calculated the time, and it was more than an hour ago, so they should have gone home long ago.

Fang Yi's face turned pale, and sweat dripped from his forehead, "Where can Ruolan go?"

"Mr. Fang, don't worry. Let's look separately. If you don't know, you met some friends, where to drink tea and chat, and forget the time." Xia Chu said reassuringly.

"But it's getting dark today!" Fang Yi said quickly, taking breath after speaking, "Sorry, I'm just impatient."

"I understand, we..."

At this time, Jiang Xiyuan tugged on Xia Chu's sleeve, Xia Chu turned his head, but saw Jiang Xiyuan said with a serious expression, "Go and see the Liu residence."

Xia Chu's heart skipped a beat, "You mean, Liu Rong?"

"Liu Rong?" Fang Yi heard what they said, frowned and said, "Okay. The two officials go to work, and I will find Ruo Lan myself."

"Young Master Fang, come with us. I hope Liu Rong is still at home." After Jiang Xiyuan finished speaking, he walked towards Liu's residence.

Fang Yi looked at Jiang Xiyuan incomprehensibly, and asked Xia Chu what he meant. Xia Chu pursed his lips and didn't know how to explain, so he had to persuade him to come with him.

When they arrived at Liu's Mansion, Jiang Xiyuan knocked on the door and asked the person who opened the door if Liu Rong was at home. The person said that Liu Rong had gone out in the afternoon, but he couldn't tell anything else, so he asked them to wait.After a while, the concubine of the Liu family, that is, Liu Rong's mother, came out, greeted Jiang Xiyuan with a trace of surprise in her expression, and asked, "Is there something wrong with Rong'er?"

"Why do you ask madam?" Jiang Xiyuan asked.

"Aren't you the official of the government office? People from this government office are here to find..."

"Don't panic." Jiang Xiyuan stabilized her emotions, "When did Liu Rong go out? Did she say where she was going? Or who did she meet?"

"You are looking for her..."

Seeing Liu Rongniang's ambiguous words, as if she was hiding something, Xia Chu couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "Madam, we are worried that Liu Rong will be in danger now, no matter what you know, please tell the truth."

Fang Yi was originally standing at the foot of the wall outside the door, thinking about Ruo Lan's whereabouts. Now that he heard that Liu Rong was in danger, he went to the door and asked Xia Chu: "Xia Butou, what do you mean Liu Rong is in danger?" mean?"

When Liu Rongniang saw Fang Yi, she couldn't help gasping, pointing at him stammeringly, "Fang... Mr. Fang? You, why are you here?! Where is Rong'er?"

The three of them looked at Liu Rongniang inexplicably, and Fang Yi replied, "The two adults and I went out to look for my younger sister. They said they wanted to come to Liu's residence, so I followed them."

"No! No!" Liu Rongniang rushed out, grabbed Fang Yi's arm, and asked cryingly, "Where did you take Rong'er! Where is Rong'er!"

"Me? I don't know..." Fang Yi was confused.

Liu Rongniang's face turned pale, she grabbed Fang Yi's arm vigorously, and shouted, "Rong'er said she left with you! She said she left with you! Where is my Rong'er! Why don't you know!"

Xia Chu broke Liu Rongniang's hand, and pulled Fang Yi aside, "Madam, calm down, and speak slowly, what's going on?"

Where did Liu Rongniang calm down, she trembled all over, "Rong'er came to see me in the afternoon, and she said she was leaving. When she came back from Wanfo Temple, she said she was leaving and made an appointment with Mr. Fang. Why don't you know , why do you say you don't know now?" She stared at Fang Yi, "Didn't you want to take her away? How could you not know?"

Both Xia Chu and Jiang Xiyuan turned their heads to look at Fang Yi, but Fang Yi's face became extremely ugly.

Liu Rongniang burst into tears, supporting Xia Chu's arm as if unable to stand up, "My poor Rong'er, my Rong'er! I know it's wrong for my daughter to elope, but she has no way out in this family. Madame treats her like an enemy, I thought maybe I could make a comeback if I left. Why don't you know anything now..."

"You want to elope with Liu Rong?" Jiang Xiyuan asked Fang Yi.

Fang Yi's lips trembled, he hesitated for a moment and nodded lightly, then hurriedly explained: "It's not now. I always have to wait for the matter of Ms. Liu to settle, and for my sister to engage in a kiss..., Me, I didn't ask Liu Rong today."

"Why are you planning to elope?"

Fang Yi smiled wryly, "Mrs. Liu's current attitude towards Liu Rong, how could she betroth Liu Rong to me again? If we don't elope, do we have other options?"

Xia Chu recalled the last time she asked Liu Rong, when she asked about Liu Rong's future plans, Liu Rong seemed to want to say something, but it was a helpless response when the words rushed to her lips.

It turned out to be this plan...

"Did you tell anyone other than Liu Rong about the elopement?"

Fang Yi shook his head, "Since it's an elopement, why would you talk about it with others?"

"Think about it again!" Xia Chu asked sharply.Although she already had an answer in her heart, she was still a little lucky, hoping that Fang Ruolan did not do Liu Ying's case, and that what happened to Liu Rong today had nothing to do with Fang Ruolan.

If Jiang Xiyuan could hear her thoughts, he would definitely talk about her kindness as a woman.Yes, the benevolence of her woman, who made her a woman in the first place.

She knows the feeling of loneliness too well, and the feeling of longing for dependence in the endless loneliness.The brothers and sisters of the Fang family had an unfortunate childhood, but fortunately they still have family ties and depend on each other.If Fang Ruolan did the thing, I really don't know how Fang Yi would face such a result.

Xia Chu really didn't want the precious brother-sister relationship to be full of blood in the end.

After all, Fang Yi is a smart person. When Xia Chu asked him this, he understood.The person who knew that he was going to elope with Liu Rong was the one who asked Liu Rong away today.And looking at Xia Chu's gaze, he also knew that Xia Chu knew who this person was in his heart.

If blue.

After Xia Chu and Jiang Xiyuan looked for Fang Yi in the morning, Fang Ruolan came and asked him if it was true that he liked Liu Rong. She heard everything outside.

"Brother, your fate is hard. If you really like Liu Rong, don't hurt her." Fang Ruolan said.

Fang Yi smiled wryly, "Even you believe the fortune-telling nonsense? If you could believe the fortune-telling, you would have been sent back to your hometown long ago."

Fang Ruolan was silent for a while, "The Liu family won't let Liu Rong marry you. Brother, you should give up your mind as soon as possible."

"I know……"

"That's good."

Fang Yi bowed his head and thought for a while, then changed his gentle tone, and said to Fang Ruolan with some sincerity, "Ruolan, Dad and I are very worried about your marriage, I know you don't want to be at home, but you can't just delay it like this The marriage will be decided sooner or later."

"I told you, if you don't decide to kiss me, then I will!" Fang Ruolan raised her voice a little bit, shaking Fang Yi's arm, "Brother, when Dad didn't come back, the two of us lived a good life." Is it? Why do you want to drive me out of the house as soon as dad comes back? "

"Why did you kick you out of the house? Of course a girl will marry when she grows up. When your marriage is settled, I won't have any worries." Fang Yi patted Ruolan's hand, "Be obedient, brother will definitely Find you a good home."

"No!" Fang Ruolan stood up, blushing, "My parents and grandmother can leave me alone, how can there be any good family! Brother, I won't marry, I won't marry! I won't leave you!"

"Ruolan!" Fang Yi's tone was a little impatient, "Father will be sad when he hears this. You are sixteen, you should be sensible."

"You are afraid that Dad will be sad, but you don't care whether I will be sad or not. When I was young, Dad became his servant and threw me to Mother, but Mother couldn't bear anything. She left and threw me to you again. Now You don't even want to take care of me anymore, and you're going to throw me to someone else..." Fang Ruolan looked at Fang Yi intently, tears streaming down her face.
