Fairy, I really am a villain!

"it is good."

After making a pot of tea, the two sat down in the house.

In order to explain what had just happened, he recounted from the beginning everything that had happened in the Fang Mansion since he arrived in the Divine Capital.

"They always think that I value the family property very much...but actually I really don't care." Fang Xiwen said.

After hearing this, Fang Tianyu didn't show any surprise. He just lowered his head and drank a sip of tea. "Thank you for your hard work."

"You said that, which shows that you know the fighting going on down there, right?"

"Well, I didn't care. I think that the three of you have achieved something out there, and you don't have to be tied down by these things in the capital."

After saying that, he added, "Oh, if you want anything, just tell Dad and I'll get it for you."

"It's okay, Dad, as long as you have your own plans."

"Really?" Fang Tianyu smiled, "Xiwen, I've always thought that this position will be yours sooner or later.

But now that we have really met in the capital, I am beginning to feel uncertain again."

"how?"

"To put it bluntly, I am willing to give you the title of head of this family, but you may not be willing to accept it."

Hearing this, Fang Xiwen poured him a cup of tea without saying anything.

"If it were someone else, they would definitely be jealous of this family fortune. You were granted a fiefdom in Mozhou, two large mansions on Tianjie Street, and you were promoted to the rank of marquis, with your influence heard by the emperor... But I think you are different."

"No, no, no, I'm jealous too." He smiled bitterly.

"That's good," Fang Tianyu touched his chin, "In fact, I have a vague feeling that one day you will leave me and the entire Fang family... Not traveling abroad like you did before, but never coming back."

"...Don't let your imagination run wild."

Fang Xiwen poured herself a cup of tea, held it in her hands, and looked at her reflection in the water.

"Maybe I've been trapped in the capital for so many years that my heart has grown old and I can't bear to see you leave again... That's all. I won't say such nagging words."

Fang Tianyu leaned back, with his arms and legs spread wide, and said with a smile, "Do you have anything to say to Dad? As soon as I entered the capital, Dad heard several people calling your name. What do you want to do?"

"Nothing..."

Looking at the marquis who was stroking his beard and smiling, Fang Xiwen shook off his complicated thoughts and told him some of his plans.

~~

At the family dinner, Fang Tianyu looked very happy.

This was the first time he had such a reunion dinner with his children since he was granted the title of nobility at a young age. For someone's sake, Li Muyu also attended, but as usual he said very little.

All the dishes were made by Fang Xiwen himself. He remembered everyone's taste and put different seasonings in small plates to distribute.

"You kid, you can cook such delicious dishes after being exiled for a few years?" Fang Tianyu was shocked. He touched his chin and muttered, "I should have known that I shouldn't have let him come back so soon. I like to eat northern dishes with lighter flavors..."

"Xiwen, use more oil and salt when cooking from now on, do you hear me?" Fang Qingxiao got angry when she heard it and said immediately.

"Go talk to Uncle Liang. It's not like I cook often."

"Hey, I cook for my sister every day when I'm out."

Click!

Li Muyou, who was sitting at the bottom, broke a pair of chopsticks, then replaced them as if nothing had happened, without saying a word. Fang Xiwen was so scared that she kept picking up food for her.

After chatting about some family matters, the Marquis then said he wanted to hear about his experiences living abroad.

Since being exiled from the Divine Capital, he has passed through Yiling, Jiangzhou, Longchuan, Dingjun... Although his footprints have covered half of the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, he did not feel that he had traveled very far.

It seems like I'm just changing places to live.

"...Have you messed around with too many women?" After pondering for a while, Fang Tianyu finally asked the question in his mind, counting on his fingers and said, "Roughly speaking, there should be four or five, right?

Having three wives and four concubines is not too much, but can you control the harem?"

Lord Guang knew that, first, there was the disciple of the Mingyue Sword Sect's patriarch, the Water Moon Fairy who was the most famous of her time; second, there was the next Palace Master of the Xing Palace, a ruthless and resourceful evil witch; and third, there was the daughter of a general who was already officially engaged and had risen to prominence overnight.

"Should, should be possible."

"Won't they fight?" Fang Tianyu looked like he was enjoying himself, and then he said excitedly, "If you marry them all, won't I have to be toasted three or four times?"

"Dad, calm down." Fang Xiwen was sweating.

As luck would have it, he saw Fang Qingxiao as if she was about to raise her hand in protest, as if she wanted to say that she didn't count him, so he started to wink at her frantically -

'You want me to die?!'

At least she understood the look in his eyes. Fang Qingxiao pouted slightly indignantly, holding her chopsticks, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Yes, by the way, Dad, are you and His Majesty going hunting? Why does it take so long?" He quickly changed the subject.

"Yes, but I stayed in the palace for a while," Fang Tianyu nodded, raised his eyebrows, "Are you so hot? Why are you sweating all over?"

"Ah, ahahaha, it's been a while since it's been this lively..."

Chapter 347: Half a letter of love?

With Fang Tianyu's return, the Marquis' Mansion finally has a backbone.

After that severe beating, the restless hearts of most of the young people below have calmed down.

However, in this situation, Fang Xiwen took the initiative to find the two people who were beaten.

The sun shines on the stone table in the courtyard of Fang Mansion.

On one side was the arrogant young man in brocade clothes, and on the other side were two angry and fearful siblings. Neither of them touched the tea in front of them.

Fang Xiwen drank his cup directly and said with a smile: "Do you understand now? Fang Ziqing, those so-called conspiracies are just tricks in my opinion. They don't seem as dangerous as a cricket fight between young children."

Someone bit his lower lip hard.

"And you, Fang Tinghao, even if I stand there and let you chop me, you may not be able to break my defense, believe it or not?"

"Then come!"

The young man roared angrily and was about to explode, but was pressed back by Fang Ziqing.

She stared at Fang Xiwen for a while, wanting to say something, but in the end, like a deflated balloon, she drank the tea in front of her unhappily: "If that's the case, why did you come to us?"

It was clear that they had no chance of winning.

He doesn't need to rely on the so-called senior sister of the Sword Sect, he can handle the two of them in obedience by himself.

"Let me tell you something," Fang Xiwen casually threw the teacup into the air, "You have no right or ability to compete with me for the Fang family's things—"

Snapped!

He took it casually, and the cup turned into powder and fell from between his fingers. He smiled at the two of them and said, "If I want it."

Wordless silence.

"But I don't need it," Fang Xiwen changed the subject and leaned back: "Be it cultivation resources, money, or real estate... I can give you everything.

After I’ve done what I need to do.”

"I don't believe it!" Fang Ziqing retorted subconsciously, then her face turned dark when she reacted.

"Yes, that's the expression," he clapped his hands and laughed, "So what if you don't believe it? The choice is not in your hands. But I really don't need to lie to you."

Then he said something else and finally left, while the two of them stood there in a stalemate for a long time.

When the sun shone on her body, Fang Ziqing seemed to come back to her senses. She turned around and asked, "Tinghao, do you believe what he said?"

"I don't want to believe this."

"I don't want to either, but..." She shook her head, "Anyway, we'd better not try any more tricks. We can't beat Third Brother."

"Too."

Fang Tinghao also agreed. Although he was a little scared by the kick, what he cared about more was Fang Xiwen's words before he left:

'It doesn't matter if I tell you, my goal is to pursue martial arts.

The limit of heaven and man is not the end, and entering and leaving the azure is only halfway. Compared with the long road, what is a small city of gods? '

If he really had that kind of ambition, a small mansion would really mean nothing, he thought.

~~

The internal problems of the Fang family have been resolved.

In fact, Fang Xiwen doesn't need these people to be on the same page with him. As long as they don't hold him back and just lie down and wait for him to take action, everything will be fine.

After wandering around the street for a few laps, he headed towards his office.

Now that Fang Tianyu has returned from hunting, some things can be pushed back.

Fang Xiwen walked into the half-open yamen and could hear the morning drum starting to beat from the drum tower, one dull beat after another; a few petty officials hurried past him, as if they didn't see him.

Before entering the inner chamber, two people came up from the corridor and bowed to each other. They were the brothers Kong Hongcai and Kong Yucai.

After witnessing Liu Zhuo's death, these two men became his confidants: the elder brother Kong Hongcai was more honest and down-to-earth; the younger brother Kong Yucai was a little smart and knew how to take shortcuts.

Recently, these two people have been responsible for handling some miscellaneous tasks he sent out: Fang Xiwen plans to observe them for a while longer, and finally let one of them take over Liu Zhuo's position and become his direct subordinate.

"How are you doing with the tasks assigned to you?"

He walked to the table, flicked his sleeves, looked at the two of them and said.

The two brothers looked at each other, and Kong Hongcai said, "We have visited the families mentioned on the adults' list, and many of them have indeed done so. The families are willing to testify, but..."

"It's just that Mr. Liu's case can't be pushed forward at the moment, so it's put on hold."

Kong Yucai took over the conversation, and then both of them seemed a little embarrassed.

"So that's how it is." Fang Xiwen pondered.

Before, after snatching several false testimonies given to him by Liu Zhuo, he immediately asked Li Muyu to investigate the origins of these things. He found several related workshops and villas inside and outside the Divine Capital, but because of the tight security, they were always under surveillance.

As soon as Liu Zhuo died that day, Li Muyu, who got the news, immediately rushed into a stronghold outside the city. Not only did he not leave any survivors of the evil "black gloves", he also found a lot of "interesting" things in the stronghold.

Although Yang Tianxiu reacted quickly later and either destroyed or transferred the evidence, some of the evidence still fell into Fang Xiwen's hands.

The reason why it had been kept on hold before was because the great detective Li Wuji had been dawdling and he could not move; now that the Marquis has finally returned home, the time has come.

"There is a solution for Liu Zhuo's case. You don't have to worry about others, just do it according to the plan. If someone comes to drive you away, just take shelter temporarily and don't conflict with them. I will take care of the rest.
