The good-looking Mrs. Liu has always deliberately carried that hidden nobility in Fan's residence, but today she no longer cares about her appearance and temperament, her face is pale and haggard, hugging the master's legs, hissing Weeping loudly: "Master, you are just talking... Zhe'er is still young, but he can't help being beaten like this."
Fan Shangshu looked at the woman in front of him and couldn't help sighing. After the death of Fan Jian's wife, Mrs. Liu followed him. Even though Fan Jian had been conferred the title of Sinanbo back then, the holy family was still in the dark, and still did not show the dew. The other party, as the granddaughter of the Duke, married him, a side branch of the Fan family. I don’t know how many capitals were shocked. people. After marriage, the Liu family took good care of him, cared for him, and pulled him back from the Liujing River abruptly.
So no matter from which point of view, he has a feeling of affection and guilt for the Liu family, not to mention that the one who was beaten in that study at this time... is also his own son, Fan Shangshu is not young, how could he Don't feel bad? But no matter what he was thinking in his heart, his facial expression was very good, he shook his head and reprimanded: "If a jade is not cut, it will not be a weapon, if a son does not teach his father's faults, a loving mother often loses her son..."
At this moment, another scream came from the study in the distance, and it was Fan Sizhe who could vaguely hear calling his mother in pain.
Fan Jian's brows twitched slightly, his heart twitched slightly, and he could no longer speak the words of admonition that were already incoherent.
Seeing that the master had been silent all this time, determination was revealed in his tears-filled eyes, and she straightened her slightly disheveled skirt, and was about to turn around and leave the study.
"Come back!" Fan Jian reprimanded in a low voice: "As the eldest brother, Fan Xian should teach Sizhe a lesson. You ran over at this time, what does that child think?"
"What do you think, child?" Miss Liu turned around sadly, with tears in her eyes, "Master, you only think about what Fan Xian thinks, but you don't want what I think? I'm just such a sweetheart, don't you Can you bear to watch him being beaten to death?"
She bit her lower lip and cried in a hissed voice: "Yes, I did something wrong back then, but after he came from Danzhou, I was patient and cautious, lest he would be unhappy. According to you, I will go around I am afraid that I will drag the young master back. How can I say that I have a part in his current status in Beijing. Of course, as a mother, I take these things for granted, and I will not go in front of him. Asking for credit... But... But what's going on now? How could he bear such a heavy hand?... If he remembered what happened back then... At worst, I'll give him my life back! Don't touch my son! I my son..."
Fan Jian looked at Liu's sobbing and sobbing, and anger rose in his chest, and he scolded: "What does this look like? You still don't know what kind of person Fan Xian is? Since he put that matter aside Although he is young, he has a heart... Sizhe has gone too far in this matter. If he doesn't teach some lessons, he will drag the whole family with him in the future. Don't you think so? Are you willing?"
Mrs. Liu was not an ordinary woman, she knew about Baoyue Building being raided today, but after a second thought, she realized that there was a shadow of wrestling between the young master of the Fan family and the second prince behind it. Raising his sleeves and dipping the tears from the corners of his eyes, he cried and said, "It's not a big deal at all, it's just that the Second Highness has caught the handle, and that's why Fan Xian is so angry."
The woman and her son had very consistent judgments about Fan Xian's anger.
Fan Jian lowered his face and said, "It's not a big deal? It's not like you haven't seen the things sent over from the study in the back house just now. Sizhe is so young...so bold and ruthless. Although he didn't do it himself, but with him What's the difference if you do it yourself? Is it a big deal if your accomplished son kills someone himself?"
Mrs. Liu couldn't help explaining to her son: "Is there less of this kind of thing in Beijing? No one has any troubles..."
Before she could finish speaking, Fan Jian stopped her and said coldly, "Stop talking about this matter."
Liushi stopped her mouth obediently, but the tears in the corners of her eyes were gone, and the tears in her eyes were still glistening. The painful howls in the study room in the distance gradually subsided, which made her, a mother, even more frightened and terrified. Did Zhe'er pass away or something happened
Looking at her appearance, Fan Jian couldn't help sighing again, thinking about what he had agreed with Fan Xian last night, his heart darkened slightly.
In fact, it's not that Fan Sizhe didn't hear any news about his business in Beijing in the past few months, but he didn't care too much. Unexpectedly, even as a father, he seemed to underestimate Fan Sizhe's ability and means.
"Let Fan Xian take care of it." Fan Jian comforted Liu Shi in a harmonious voice, "You should understand this truth. The more he manages to avoid suspicion, it means that he really regards Sizhe as his own flesh and blood brother. Fan Xian then Even if the child can smile at the enemy, the reason why he is so tyrannical today is not because he used to hurt Sizhe. If it wasn't someone close to him, he would kill him with a knife. How could he be so angry? … Once you understand this truth, you should feel at ease. To be honest, you know exactly who our family can rely on in the future. "
Of course the Liu family understands this truth, Fan's mansion is too powerful now, it has become a tiger riding a tiger, it can only go up but not down. After all, Fan Jian is getting old, not to mention leaving this world, but there will always be a day when he will resign. Whether it is her or Sizhe, what will happen in the future, can this whole mansion be safe forever? It's just to see what the young master of Fuchu can do in this country.
But it hurts the son's body and the mother's heart, no matter what, Liu Shi will always feel a little bit of resentment towards Fan Xian today.
Fan Jian shook his head, motioning for her to follow him out of the study, and head to the study next to the garden of the back house.
Liu Shi was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed behind. Even the big maids with hot towels behind her didn't care about discipline, and waved their hands to make them retreat.
Turning and turning, the servants couldn't help being a little surprised to see the master and wife walking so fast in the mansion. But thinking of the "sound of pig killing" coming from the back and back houses before, it suddenly dawned on me, and I started to feel uneasy again, thinking that the eldest young master beat the second young master so hard, the old lady rushed over, maybe she was going to make a fuss? The Fan Mansion has been going smoothly in the past few years, even with the family tradition of being extremely serious and lively, the servants have a great sense of belonging, and they really don't want anything to happen in the house.
Mrs. Liu walked towards the garden in small steps with a look of panic on her face, wishing she could fly over with her wings, but looking at her master's calm and generous back as usual, she never dared to be the first.
When we reached the gate of the garden where the front house and the back house communicated, we heard another miserable howl in the garden, the sound of countless boards falling on the skin and flesh, crackling, and the sound was shocking!
At this time, Liu's mind was confused, and when she heard this sound, she didn't even understand if it was her precious son who was howling, a sorrowful air was blocked in her chest, and she actually wailed, and passed out!
Fortunately, the big maids behind her didn't dare to leave because of her repulsion, and followed behind in a well-behaved manner, so they supported the trembling madam.
※※※
The quietest one among the three study rooms is in a secluded place next to the rockery. It is the place where Fan Xian handles court affairs at home, and his servants are always strictly forbidden to approach it. At this time, there were three people sitting in the study. The person sitting behind the book desk was unexpectedly that Mr. Xiaoyan, Yan Bingyun, who had just taken up his post, and the ones sitting behind him were Fan Xian's protégé Shi Chanli and a chief bookkeeper, Mu Tie.
Except for Teng Zijing and Deng Ziyue who were imprisoned in the garden, these three people are Fan Xian's confidantes, and Yan Bingyun's status is naturally the most special one. Friendship. At this time, frowning and listening to the sound of crackling boards in the garden, I couldn't help but shook my head and said: "Why did you leave it at home to practice family law when you should send it to the capital? The law doesn't match."
Among the three, only he dared to question Fan Xian's decision. Shi Chanli smiled, and explained to Master Xiaoyan: "This matter can't be a big deal for the time being, it's really sent to the capital, and if the second young master and the man in the palace are found out... there is no room for everyone to change things. Mr. Tisi had no choice but to fight face-to-face with the second prince, but no matter whether he wins or loses, the second young master of the Fan family will always have no good fruit to eat. Based on the evidence that the capital can grasp, let alone sentence him to be executed At that time, it must flow at least three thousand miles to the south."
Mu Tie smiled awkwardly, not daring to answer. After all, he was the one who secretly woke up Fan Tisi for the matter of Baoyuelou, which means that he was responsible for the current fate of the second young master of the Fan family. Although Fan Tisi is very satisfied with his performance, who knows that most of the Fan family are What do you think
Yan Bingyun shook his head again, obviously disapproving of Fan Xian's method of replacing national law with family law, but he also knew that he could only do so at present, so he couldn't help but slightly sarcastically said: "Our lord Tisi...is really a crystal He is a darling person, his family law has been strictly dealt with, even if the Baoyuelou case is discovered in the future, he will have an excuse to His Majesty in the palace... At least the Second Highness wants to investigate Fan's family for being lax and his younger brother to commit murder crime, that is impossible."
Shi Chanli was taken aback when he heard the words, he knew that Fan Xian made the whole family aware of the slap in the face, the purpose was to spread the word, and to silence the officials in advance, it's just...Fan Sizhe committed a criminal case , this solution will definitely not work.
Yan Bingyun glanced at him with a smile, knowing what he was worried about, and said, "Don't worry about it, your master has already made arrangements." Shi Chanli thought, this matter has nothing to do with Si Chu, If the adults call you here, there must be some arrangements, but it is not convenient to continue to ask.
Mu Tie walked to the window and looked at the man in the garden with his buttocks trembling from a distance across the rockery, his flesh was splattered with blood, and he wailed again and again. Even though he was an official of the Overwatch Council, he couldn't help being a little frightened by Fan Xian's hard-hearted hands. Ruthless, looking at the two children of Fan and Liu who were suffering under the board, I couldn't help but gently patted my butt...
Shi Chanli started busy copying some documents that will be used soon on the desk.
…
…
Mrs. Liu woke up and was about to find Fan Xian desperately. She rubbed her eyes, only to realize that the people who were beating in the garden were all her dandy relatives. Although the board was slamming extremely hard, the blood spattered extremely high, and the boys screamed in pain, but as long as it wasn't her own cub suffering, Mrs. Liu had no objection at all, and she regained Mrs. Fan's nobility. With dignity, he glanced at the room coldly.
In the woman's heart, her son Fan Sizhe is good at making small troubles, but he was definitely lured by some demons and heretics to engage in such incidents in the capital. , is naturally the culprit. The more she looked, the angrier she became, and she didn't listen to the cries of her natal relatives calling for help. She gritted her teeth and shouted to the protector of Fujiko Jingagan's family: "The young master told you to beat me, just give me some strength, and it won't heal." How could these little bastards be so angry!"
While talking, the couple entered the study. Seeing Fan Sizhe lying on the bench in the corner of the room with his lower body naked, Mrs. Liu became confused and jumped on it. Looking at the bloodstains on his son's back and buttocks with distress, he couldn't help crying softly, pointing his fingers. Carefully stroking the stick marks that were swollen into blue and red: "My son..."
A hand stretched out, holding a handkerchief on it, and wiped away the tears on her face.
When Liu saw it, it was Fan Xian... She gritted her teeth and didn't show resentment, but she still couldn't stop her resentment.
Fan Xian had already regained his composure. After the beating, he was almost out of breath. He comforted him and said, "It's okay, just let me go, and I'll give my brother some medicine."
Reluctantly, Liu stepped aside, watching Fan Xian wipe the medicine on Fan Sizhe's body. At this time, Fan Sizhe was out of breath and dying, and might faint at any moment.
Fan Jian looked to the side and saw that his daughter-in-law and daughter were standing obediently in the corner. Wan'er's eyes were full of traces of panic. Thinking about it, the previous beating was really terrifying, but Ruoruo's eyes were full of terror. With tear stains, it's not because I feel sorry for my younger brother's body and skin, but because I feel sad for my younger brother's failure to succeed. He shook his head, coughed, and first attracted everyone's attention, before asking Fan Xian in a harmonious voice, "How's the arrangement going?"
"According to your wishes, Sizhe will leave tonight." Fan Xian said respectfully, "It has been arranged."
