Fairy, I really am a villain!

"Yes!"

The two brothers responded in unison and left immediately. After they stepped out of the door, they paused at the same time, as if they had seen someone, and then bowed.

After sorting out the documents on the desk for a while, Fang Xiwen said leisurely: "Master Liu, since you are here, why don't you come in and see me?

Logically speaking, I should go find you."

"What a 'minister'!"

A few hearty laughs were heard from outside the door, and a tall Tibetan man with dark skin stepped in. His green official uniform was bulging, making him look quite imposing.

Liu Xiwang, the Imperial Censor, was his superior.

The man in front of him had helped in his case of "raping a woman", and at first Fang Xiwen thought he was in cahoots with the Yang party, but after taking office, he came over and openly made friends with him, which made him a little unsure.

"From the tone of Fang Zhubu, are you sure that I will help you succeed?"

Walking all the way to the table, Liu Xiwang restrained his smile, and there was a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"Of course, I'll take the risk, but the credit will be shared by you and me. I can't think of any reason to refuse." Fang Xiwen put the pen on the table and said with a smile, "Many people have come to me recently, but Lord Liu is quite patient."

"Because I don't know if you are fighting against a rock with an egg, so I am waiting."

"So what? How long can you wait?"

"...Don't bother," Liu Xiwang took the paper and pen from him and signed quickly, "I just hope you won't let down the people who bet on you."

"nature."

~~

"That's unreasonable!"

Shendu, Longshoufang, Li’s Residence.

Li Wuji had to interrupt the important matter at hand when his spiritual sense detected his men coming in a hurry. He pushed away Meiji, whose face was unnaturally flushed, put on his coat and got out of bed.

In the courtyard, after listening to the report from his subordinates, no matter how good his temper was, he couldn't help but curse.

"What a jerk Fang Xingyun is! How dare he report this to his superiors without my knowledge? At first I thought he was sensible, but I didn't expect that he didn't even understand the rules of the officialdom!"

After coughing a few times, Li Wuji suffered some backlash due to the sudden interruption of his martial arts, and his complexion became a little worse.

According to the news he received, Fang Xiwen said that there has been significant progress in Liu Zhuo's case. He found out that he and the Song family had been colluding for many years and had a lot of evidence in his hands.

In other words, the essence of the murder was an internal conflict. Whether it was due to uneven distribution of spoils or discord among the people requires further investigation.

"Sir, several of his men have posted a notice in the government office, saying that they are looking for someone who knows about Liu Zhuo's case to serve as a witness, and there is a reward..."

"Bullshit! If he keeps investigating like this, it's only a matter of time before he finds the Yang family. By then, it will be a huge mess!" Li Wuji was no longer calm. He quickly got dressed and prepared to go out.

Before leaving, he turned around and asked his subordinates, "No. Who did Fang Xingyun co-sign the letter with?"

"It seems to be Liu Xiwang, and you."

"...What?"

"He said he had received your message, but because you were busy with family affairs, he overstepped his authority..." "How ridiculous!"

When Li Wuji hurried out, the spies from various families also got the news, and they were all gloating over each other's misfortune.

Although many people have now joined the Yang Party, the means used in the process are really disgraceful. Things like framing and slandering others are commonplace, and Liu Zhuo is one of those who specializes in doing these dirty jobs.

"It's unlikely that the Third Young Master will be able to uncover the truth about these people, but since the matter has been exposed, there must be a scapegoat."

'Now comes the fun.'

Every family was waiting to watch the fireworks.

Although they won't end up in trouble, they are happy to add fuel to the fire...

"Hey, hey~"

After pushing the stone blocking the road aside, Xiaodie stood up straight, wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, and smiled towards the clean yard.

Although Sister Muyou came to her before and said that she was deceived;

But after carefully inquiring with the surrounding residents, Xiaodie confirmed that this was the property under the name of her own son, so instead of taking a rest, she worked even harder.

Yesterday she accidentally worked too late, so she rested here. The next day she got up and continued working until now.

"This is a two-story courtyard. Although it's not too big, it's in the capital after all..." Xiaodie put her hands on her hips and thought.

She finally understood how rich Mr. Fang must be, but she was even more confused: it was impossible to tell from his food, clothing and other expenses. Even his clothes were the same ones he wore over and over again. Could it be that his family had been strict with him since he was a child?

Xiaodie was really busy, so she went to clean the windows again. Soon there was a knock on the door.

So she quickly put down her things and opened the door to the front yard, only to see a handsome young man standing tall with something in his hands.

"Sir!" Xiaodie laughed and pulled him in. "Come and see, I've cleaned it up."

The front yard is not very big. The main hall for receiving guests on the central axis, the small bamboo forest leaning against the wall, and the stone corridor leading to the backyard are now spotlessly clean, and the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the hall face the main door.

After letting her walk around by herself, Fang Xiwen frowned at Xiaodie's dirty appearance and said, "You are so stupid. I told you to take a break before. How could I ask you to clean this place by yourself?

It's obvious that someone has deceived you, and you don't even know how to come back."

"So what? I'm happy with it."

Xiaodie became unhappy when she heard him lecturing her.

After working so hard to clean up for so long, it would be fine if she didn't get any praise, but she was actually blamed. Angry.

"...I was worried that you were exhausted," he said soothingly, and handed over the things in his hand, "Here, lunch."

"If you don't eat, a fool won't be hungry."

"Okay, then take a look at what this is?" Seeing the girl pouting and acting awkward, Fang Xiwen took out a letter from his arms and waved it in front of her.

Xiaodie recognized the handwriting, "Did the young lady write this?"

"Yes, it's written to me." He put the letter back in a flash. "Put your things away and come over to rest. I will be merciful and read it with you."

Xiaodie puffed up her cheeks. She was worried about home, so she followed his instructions, washed her hands and face, and sat down at the table.

Moving a stool to sit next to her, Fang Xiwen opened the several food boxes he brought, which were steaming hot.

"Eat, eat, and then read the letter."

"Why don't you eat, sir?"

"I've eaten at the government office. This is the food there. How is it? Pretty good, right?"

"So much meat? People in Liushenmen eat this every day?" Xiaodie was a little surprised. "How much does it cost in a year?"

"I don't know, it's the people's money anyway." He spread his hands.

Not knowing how to respond, Xiaodie ate by herself and pointed at the small courtyard that had been unused for a long time: "By the way, sir, isn't there usually anyone living here?"

"I lived there before, but I don't live there now."

This is actually the place where the Third Young Master hides his concubines. In the past, there should have been a bunch of women kept here, dancing and playing music, and having parties. After being exiled from the capital, it naturally became empty.

As for Fang Xiwen, he had no such need, so no one lived in this house.

Seeing Xiaodie's eyes sparkling, he smiled and said, "Why, are you not used to living in the Fang Mansion?"

"No...wait, Sir, are you willing to let me live here alone?"

"I am willing, but it is not safe here."

"Then, when the young lady comes, we can live here, okay?" Xiaodie put her hands together while holding the chopsticks.

For her, the Fang Mansion was naturally very good, but the days when the three of them lived in the small courtyard were more comfortable, and they could also eat the meals cooked by the young master...

"That's fine. Let Ningzhu choose for herself when she arrives."

After Xiaodie finished lunch, he unfolded the letter and read it with her.

Miss Wang's handwriting is not beautiful, but it is concise, neat and powerful.

The letter omitted greetings and mainly talked about two things: First, something went wrong with the Wang family and they had a conflict with the local chamber of commerce.

She is helping to deal with it, so I'm afraid she won't be able to get to the capital so soon.

Second, she heard about what Fang Xiwen had done and guessed that he would speak for the Wang family, so she asked her father to make a list of people who were friendly to the Wang family, emphasizing one person, the old man of the Yun family, Yun Wenjing, the current director of the Imperial Observatory.

"He and Grandpa have been good friends for many years. If you have any problem, you can go find him. The token of trust is the Mingde Zhishan sword in your body, Xiwen."

Xiaodie said, "The Yun family? They are the family that inherited the Tianyan magician tradition, right? If we can have a relationship with them, it seems that we were once very powerful in the Divine Capital."

"You just know?"

"Xiaodie was adopted. At that time, the Wang family had already moved to Dingjun. I don't know if it's normal."

Xiaodie put the chopsticks and food box together and said.

"Adopted? Where are your parents?"

"I don't know," she shook her head, "I seem to have seen them, but I don't have any impression of them. Xiaodie grew up in the Wang family."

"Sorry, sorry, I was not thoughtful in what I said." Fang Xiwen slapped his head.

"It's okay. If the young master was worried about me because of this, Xiaodie would be uncomfortable," she laughed, "If not for this, I wouldn't have met the Wang family, wouldn't have met the young lady, and wouldn't be here.

Besides, I also believe that my parents don’t want me, they must have their own difficulties.”

Seeing this, Fang Xiwen couldn't help but touch her head, and Xiaodie lowered her head with a red face.

He read half of a letter and pointed: "Here, your young lady also wants you to work less, and said that if you lose weight, you will settle accounts with me. Did you see it?"

"Then I can just eat more, right?"

"Yes, it's better to eat until you become a big fat pig. This is safer."

"I don't want it!" She glared at him angrily. Xiaodie was stunned when she saw him start to fold the envelope: "Sir, there are still so many left?"

"The rest is written by Ningzhu specifically for me," Fang Xiwen touched his chin and said with a wicked smile, "Why, do you want to read it? It's very corny."

“Is it, is it that long?!”
