Chapter 23 The Beginning of the Trap
In the eyes of Mrs. Fang, Xu Jiatong was still a down-and-out daughter just a moment ago, but now she is a transparent woman who understands the world and knows how to give her face.She didn't bother to face Fang Xinniang's chilly face, so leaving Xu Jiatong as her companion was a relief, and she wished they could talk for a while, so that Fang Xinniang could change her mind.

Xu Jiatong also couldn't wish for it, and enthusiastically helped to choose two more horses from the shop, and said with a smile: "My daughter's life's hope is to marry a good man. It's like rebirth. Fang's family is rich, and you have parents and elder brothers who love you, so you will definitely find a lover."

Fang Xinniang's face was still grim, but it was obviously not aimed at Xu Jiatong: "My beloved? It's just a pit of fire. They only have my brother Fang Rui in their hearts. How can they have a daughter like me. Besides...my biological mother left early, they just It’s just that you don’t want me to be an eyesore at home.”

Only then did Xu Jiatong realize that Fang Xinniang was born to Mrs. Fang's second wife, and now Mrs. Fang is already the third to fill in the house.

Both she and Fang Xinniang lost their biological mothers at a young age, but she didn't sympathize with Fang Xinniang.At least Fang Xinniang has no shortage of food and clothing in Fang's family, unlike her and Cao's who have to suffer from hunger and cold. Such a person has understood her situation early, but failed to fight for herself. It is not pitiful but pathetic.

"As a parent, you love your children all the time, how could you be willing to push you into the fire pit?" Xu Jiatong said in disbelief.

Two people listened to the same words, but because they had different thoughts in their hearts, they naturally had two meanings.

Naturally, Fang Xinniang would not think of "no need to work hard" in Xu Jiatong's words like Mrs. Fang did, thinking that she can enjoy wealth without being a wife or bothering to take care of things.Obviously, she only felt that Xu Jiatong was an outsider who didn't know the inside story, and was deceived by Fang's family.

Fang Xinniang sneered and said, "In the Fang family, a daughter's life is always worthless, and only a man is precious. For my brother, there is nothing they can't do. I don't hide it from my fourth sister, and I don't plan to hide it from anyone, anyway. It won't be long before they all know. They are going to send me to be a child of the crippled second master of the county magistrate's house, so that I can exchange an errand for my brother."

Regretted after finishing speaking, Fang Xinniang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked away.

Xu Jiatong was silent for a moment, took out the silk handkerchief and handed it to her, and when she took it, Fang said: "It seems that every family has a difficult scripture to recite, to be honest, I also lost my biological mother, and this time I went to the Western Capital As outsiders think, he can rise to the top. But life has to go on, and you can't get stuck in a dead end, can you?"

Twisting the silk handkerchief in her slender hands, Fang Xinniang looked at her, and said with red eyes sadly: "Thinking about the beautiful days when I was a child, my brother and Xu brother often took me to play. But now, my brother knows I got my father's arrangement for me, instead of stopping, he urged me to nod my head quickly. Ever since Brother Xu heard the news from my brother, he never came to see me when he came to Fang's house. "

After hearing these words, Xu Jiatong felt that something was weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird.According to the original plan, we can only find out the basics first, to see how well Fang Xinniang and Xu Lianping have known each other, and how much Fang Rui trusts Xu Lianping.

"My cousin said last time that he wanted to visit your brother at Fang's house. If you want to see him, just go talk to your brother." Xu Jiatong smiled nonchalantly.

Fang Xinniang gave her a grievous look: "He must have known that I have a husband's family, and because he wanted to make a fool of others, that's why he looked down on me. It's useless if I go."

No matter how stupid Xu Jiatong is in matters of love, he has finally figured out the way. There is nowhere to find it after breaking through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. It seems that Fang Xinniang is not easy to Xu Lianping, and I am afraid she already has the intention of admiring him.

"You grew up together, and he is on good terms with Young Master Fang. He must treat you like a younger sister, so he won't look down on you." Xu Jiatong explained.

"No, it's not..." Fang Xinniang looked at her in embarrassment, and made up her mind for a while, but she still didn't dare to say it out loud, "Once you go through the door, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even go out, and I don't know if there will be a chance to see him again."

Xu Jiatong secretly grabbed the jade pendant in her sleeve pocket through her sleeve. She originally planned to find a way to put Xu Lianping's jade pendant on Fang Xinniang, and then planned Fang Rui's discovery of the jade pendant to cause a dispute between him and Xu Lianping.

Now the opportunity is in front of her eyes, but she always feels that it is too smooth.

"What's so difficult about this? My cousin has caused a little trouble outside recently. He has been living in the academy for the past few days, and he is afraid of being reprimanded by the old lady when he returns home. If you can help him, he will naturally be grateful to you. I saw you thanking you in person." Xu Jiatong suggested.

The so-called troubles are gambling debts, Xu Lianping comes here every now and then.In the beginning, Li Shi and Xu Xiaoxian would not take out the money, let him learn a lesson.

But every time they end up with money to fill this bottomless pit, so this kind of thing happens seven or eight times a year, and Fang Xinniang must know about it.

"Did he get into something like that again? He can't return home anymore." Fang Xinniang's tears just stopped rolling down the next moment.

"You don't know, this time the old lady and my third uncle were really angry. They refused to save him with money, and insisted on teaching him a big lesson. My cousin has no savings on weekdays, so he can only sell the money in his house. Seeing that they don't have enough collections, they actually want to pawn the jade pendant." Xu Jiatong said regretfully.

"Ah? How could it be? I remember that jade pendant was given by an elder of your Xu family, and he kept it carefully. He would never sell it if he had no choice." Fang Xinniang looked firm, as if Xu Lianping should be her brother.

Xu Jiatong smiled and said jokingly: "It's not for sale, it's not for sale, don't worry. His precious jade pendant was mixed in with other things. When the housekeeper took it out for pawning, I saw it and withheld it."

Recently, Xu Lianping had indeed pawned a batch of porcelain, jewelry and jade, and it was a broken pawn.If she finds out that she stole his jade pendant and made troubles in Fang's house, she can reason that the jade pendant got mixed up in the pile of pawned things.

With Xu Lianping's usual way of doing things, others will not believe it.What's more, even Xu Lianping himself didn't pay much attention to this jade pendant, otherwise he wouldn't have lost it for a few days, and he wouldn't be looking for it.

"If news of his appearance spreads out, Mr. Xu and his wife will be even more angry. I still have some savings, or I can take it some other day, and ask my fourth sister to bring it to him for me, and it will also save him money. Pawn some." Fang Xinniang looked away, looking at her inadvertently as she fiddled with samples of clothing.

"This..." Xu Jiatong was in a dilemma, and persuaded instead, "Sister Fang personally sent someone to send the jade pendant back together, and said that she accidentally saw it in the pawn shop, and entrusted favors to redeem it for him. When he sees the jade pendant, he will definitely accept your kindness, maybe he will come to thank you in a few days."

Fang Xinniang regained her spirits, and finally had a soothing smile on her face, and said coyly, "That's it... I'll bother Fourth Sister, but if Brother Xu asks, I'm afraid he will be angry if we have different opinions. "
