Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 61 The Hidden Man
The house that Fang's family bought with half of their financial resources in Jinling is just across the wall from the Fugui Lane, which is full of high-ranking officials. Therefore, even though it is not half the size of the old house, as long as it is close to the root of the imperial city, even the air you breathe is extraordinarily expensive.

Mrs. Fang sat on the soft couch, swept away the gloom on her face when she was in Sucheng, smiled and looked at the three children below, "Zhong An, quickly bring out the rich orange that the eldest prince rewarded."

Fang Zhongan waved his hand, and someone brought out the rich oranges placed in the warm pavilion and put them on the altar.

"Zhong'an, after the New Year's Eve, you are going to participate in Chunwei. Mother believes that with your ingenuity, you will definitely win the top spot and make the Fang family honorable."

"Mother." Fang Zhong'an glanced around the table, unable to explain why he was so lonely in his heart.It was he who wrote a letter a few years ago to let his mother stop worrying about Su Tiange's taking away the Fang family's wealth, and come to Jinling as soon as possible.

Thinking of Su Tiange, Fang Zhongan felt mixed feelings of disappointment and anger.His mother told him that Su Tiange already knew what happened ten years ago, and that she endured humiliation and stayed at Fang's house just for revenge
.

But he still had a little luck in his heart, hoping that this was just a prank done by Su Tiange, that she would apologize to him when they met, and that she would come back.

Fang Zhong'an sighed in his heart, his mother asked him to pretend to be interested in Su Tiange, but he didn't care, she gave her a cold face.Originally, he thought it would be good to marry her just like this, because she has good looks and good character.Even if she doesn't smile a little all day, he doesn't care, he is willing to support her, and he has other women who will come to please him.

Su Tiange just needs to stay where he can see, but now that she has escaped and plotted against Fang's family, he can't bear this kind of uncontrollability.

"Brother, what's the matter with you?" Fang Qiyu sat on Fang Zhongan's right hand, looking up at his elder brother's uncertain face.

"Nothing, let's eat."

Fang Qilan glanced at Fang Zhongan, and lowered her eyebrows in understanding.

After a preoccupied New Year's Eve dinner, Mrs. Fang waited until Fang Zhong'an finished offering sacrifices to the ancestors, then dismissed the people and went back to the house to rest.

Fang Qilan led the maid back to her yard, where there were flashing figures and shadows left by flickering candles.She waved her hand to let the servant girl back down, and entered the room by herself.

There was a person sitting at the table, dressed in black and wearing a hood, covering his whole body from head to toe, except for his eyes, which were as cold as ice.

"Why are you here?" Fang Qilan turned around and closed the door, not daring to move forward.

"Don't think it's safe to hide in this deep house."

"I didn't hide." Fang Qilan put his hands behind his back and was ready to flee through the door at any time.

Hmph, the man sneered, "I brought something you didn't have in your heart that time, and I asked someone to get it back later. But the person who went there didn't come back and the letter disappeared. Do you know who stole it? ?”

Fang Qilan looked at him in surprise, "I don't know, I was beaten by the people you sent as soon as I got the letter, and I don't know anything after that."

"Who else went with you that day?"

"Su Tiange, originally the adopted daughter of the Fang family, took revenge on the Fang family because of old grievances, and almost evacuated the Fang family. Then she disappeared, and the Fang family was also looking for her."

After Fang Qilan finished speaking, she was silent for a while, looked at the man and asked, "Do you suspect that the letter was taken by Su Tiange?"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't." The man in black stood up, "You develop the antidote as soon as possible, the master doesn't want it to go out of control."

"Let's ask what's in it that shouldn't be there."

The man in black didn't answer, turned around and jumped out of the window.

Fang Qilan looked at the window panes swaying in the wind, her expression was in a daze, she didn't remember to move until her feet were numb.The cold wind whimpered and ran past the window, and the rice paper pasted on the window pane was torn off, and the part that was still attached crackled.

She finally walked over and closed the window with a bang. Knowing that she was destined to be dominated by others, she still couldn't help but want to fight.It can be said that she didn't want to take that letter at all, and she even secretly rejoiced when she found out that it was taken away.

But now she really wants to know what is in it?She remembered that she had written a letter to him before that, so could this undeserved entrainment be a reply?
Thinking of this, Fang Qilan's heart beat like a drum, excited and nervous.

She didn't want to accept her fate like her mother, marry someone she didn't like, and spend her whole life in a home that wasn't favored by others.Her mother was a master of poison, and she had to bloom with such amazing and brilliant methods, but in the end she died under the plot of the woman.

So she studied hard, hoping to surpass her mother and live a life of free choice, but... Fang Qilan sighed.She sadly found that she would probably be unable to escape the control of those people for the rest of her life, just like her mother, whose body could not be free because of coercion, but her whole heart was trapped by that person and could not survive the catastrophe.

She envied and even envied Su Tiange, why could she leave whenever she wanted.

The man in black quietly jumped down from the courtyard wall, only going forward cautiously but didn't realize that he was being followed.

Shen Yu's New Year's Eve was not easy. News came from the hidden piles that had been buried earlier. Almost half of the shadow people came to Jinling. After entering, they all quickly turned into ordinary people, with innocent backgrounds.

Most of the shadows in Jinling choose to stay dormant, only a few seem to be connected to another mysterious organization that is plotting.

Shen Yu only felt a headache, could it be that this year was troubled, why did one or two organizations and gangs pop up?After all, he followed these clues to a person, and followed him from the north of the city to the entrance of the Fangzhai on the north side of Fugui Lane. Shen Yu watched the black shadow jump into the courtyard of the Fang family.

what happened?Could it be that the Fang family had a connection with these shadows? Thinking carefully about this connection, he thought that in the prefect's mansion of Suzhou City, Fang Qilan had been knocked out by the shadows for stealthily gaining trust, and later this shadow was killed by Su Tiange.

So what is the person going in now going to do?Is he and Fang Qilan hostile or cooperative?

Half an hour later, the black figure came out of the house again, and Shen Yu quietly followed him, following the man around Fugui Lane, presumably the other party noticed him?

In an alley, both of them stopped.

"Who are you going to? Why? Tell me quickly, and I may choose a more comfortable cell for you."

"Why does Mr. Shen think he can catch me?"

Shen Yu sneered, "Why, you'll know soon." As soon as he finished speaking, he flew over like an arrow from the string, and the man in black didn't even move, only a weird smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The palm that Shen Yu struck out suddenly retracted when it barely hit the face of the man in black, and then the whole person kicked off the wall to take the opportunity to retreat, because inexplicably he remembered that overbearing poison and what Su Tiange told him to do. Be careful in everything.

Just as Shen Yu stabilized his body, he heard a muffled sound, boom, it was like the muffled sound of gunpowder exploding underground.Then there was the smell of blood.

The man in black blew himself up and died, Shen Yu jumped onto the wall and frowned. Are these things really related to Fang Qilan?
