Fang Shaoyu had no idea what happened last night, and was quite happy to see his parents: "Dad, Mom, good morning."
Looking at his son's happy face, Fang's father suddenly felt relieved. Yes, if he continued to live here, he would only get more and more involved.
His sons and daughters are capable and can earn their own future. As for the Marquis's Mansion, he should just treat them as ordinary relatives. He doesn't ask for anything from them anyway. No matter how powerful they are, what does it have to do with him? Thinking of this, he suddenly felt open-minded.
When they arrived at the old lady's yard, she had already woken up and was looking at the door, waiting for someone to come in! Seeing Father Fang and others coming in, she couldn't help laughing.
Just looking at Fang's mother and others behind, a hint of doubt flashed in the old lady's eyes again. Didn't she say that she had arranged people to scare Fang's mother last night
According to her idea, shouldn't Fang's mother be acting crazy and making a scene at Fang's father this morning and want to leave here
Although she had just met her son, she had already figured out his character. He was a gentle and honest man, and he would definitely be soft-hearted towards her, his own mother.
"Meet the old lady."
This is the unified name for the family. We used to call her mother and grandmother, but today it has become old lady. Something must have happened here
The old lady looked at Father Fang in disbelief: "Son, what did you call me?"
Father Fang touched his head, feeling a little uncomfortable, and looked at the person in front of him: "Oh, mother, I forgot."
The old lady's face was full of black lines. She had forgotten this. She looked at Father Fang with a bit of a smile and tears: "You, don't be so confused in the future. You haven't had breakfast yet, let's have breakfast together. After breakfast, it's time to meet your nephews and nieces."
Father Fang was thinking about how to ask his wife to move out. Thinking about this, he didn't even have a good breakfast.
The Marquis brought his wife and his children to pay their respects to the old lady. There were seven girls in total, and Ling Qiniang was the youngest.
Well, now Fang Xiaoxi is here, Fang Xiaoxi can be regarded as Ling Ba Niang of the Ling family. Fang Xiaoxi shuddered when she thought of this, fortunately, she had no intention of coming back.
The old lady was still very happy: "I came up to meet your second uncle."
A group of little girls came up to greet Father Fang with laughter: "Hello, Second Uncle."
Everyone's eyes moved back and forth between Fang Shaoyu and Fang Xiaoxi. The two were well dressed and didn't look like they were from the country.
Fang Xiaoxi really hated being stared at like this, and couldn't help but frown. Fang's father had already nodded: "Okay, there are quite a lot of people, it's more lively than our house."
This was funny to hear. The Marquis's wife was followed by a large group of concubines! These people also came forward to greet Father Fang: "Hello, Second Master."
Father Fang had a lot of question marks in his mind. Looking at this group of women, he suddenly realized that this might be the Marquis's backyard that Xiao Xi mentioned.
Ahem, three women make a play, how many plays can the women in this backyard perform? And these children, after paying their respects, all returned to their own aunts. Wow, each aunt only gave birth to one child.
The old lady took out some purses and distributed them to each of her grandchildren: "These are the gifts your second uncle gave you. Your second uncle just came back and doesn't know much about etiquette yet. You must respect him."
During this meeting, the old lady was the only one who was talking. Until she said, "Your second uncle will live in the mansion from now on. You must respect your second uncle and his family..."
Before she could finish her words, Father Fang spoke up: "Mom, let me interrupt you. We don't live in the Marquis' Mansion."
What does it mean to not live in the Marquis' Mansion? The old lady looked at Father Fang in confusion: "If you don't live in the Marquis' Mansion, where are you going to live?"
Father Fang took a deep breath and looked at the old lady: "Mom, I grew up in Xianyou Town. I came to Kyoto this time because I heard that you wanted to see me, so I came to see you. I didn't plan to stay. After meeting you, I plan to take my child back to Xianyou Town tomorrow."
Just came to see me. The old lady was stunned: "You mean, you are leaving? Just to see me?"
Father Fang nodded: "Yes, I just came to see mother, and I don't plan to stay. Mother, if you can't bear to leave me, you can come back to Xianyou Town with me."
The old lady smiled and followed her youngest son to the countryside to suffer: "I am old and cannot travel long distances. If you have this intention, why don't you stay?"
The Marquis was also a little confused: "Didn't you agree to stay yesterday?"
The old lady really couldn't understand how a rural area like Xianyou Town could be compared to Kyoto? There were actually people willing to live in the countryside.
Seeing the three people arguing, the others stood aside and didn't dare to speak. After all, this was the old lady's business. If they angered the old lady, no one would be happy.
Fang Xiaoxi couldn't bear to hear these people quarreling there, and looked at the old lady: "Old lady, my father came to recognize his relatives, and he has already recognized them. Isn't it good for everyone to be relatives in the future? In the current Marquis' Mansion, everything belongs to the Marquis. My father is so old, it's not appropriate for him to stay in the Marquis' Mansion."
The old lady frowned and said, "Shut up. You are just a junior, how can you be qualified to speak here?"
Father Fang frowned when he saw Fang Xiaoxi being scolded by the old lady. "Mom, what Xiaoxi said also represents my opinion. I am a country girl, and this mansion is too luxurious. I am not used to it. But I just recognized you as my mother. If you can't bear to leave me, I will stay for a few more days."
"Let the child's mother live with the child in her own home. There's no need to bother Big Brother here. It's not appropriate for me to live with Big Brother's family at my age."
The old lady's face darkened: "You know everything that happened last night."
This was an affirmative sentence. Father Fang knew that he couldn't hide it any longer, so he just concealed it: "Yes. I know everything, mother. I am an unfilial son and cannot live the life you arranged. I can't live without my child's mother, and I don't want other women. We are well matched, so what's the point of me?"
"The second branch of the Marquis's Mansion? I have no interest in staying. My eldest brother has descendants in his backyard. There are so many people, and it's not enough for you to plan for them. I don't need it. As I said, if mother is reluctant to let go, I will stay and accompany her for a few more days. The others can live in their own homes."
The Marquis had an ugly expression, but since it was the old lady's turn to speak, he held back. The old lady had something to say that was hard to say, but Aunt Lin understood the old lady very well and spoke directly.
"My own home? What place are you talking about? This is Kyoto, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. Even a country bumpkin like you can afford it."
Fang Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows: "Of course I can afford it, but for someone like you who can only survive by being a concubine, you probably can't imagine that others can make money."
Aunt Lin blushed at these words: "What do you mean by that? I am your elder after all."
Fang Xiaoxi sneered: "Since when can a concubine in another room call her an elder in front of me? Not everyone can be my elder. Dad, if you want to stay, then stay. Mother, brother and I will go home first. Anyway, you know where our home is, so come back in a few days."
Then he took his mother's hand and turned to walk outside. Fang Shaoyu naturally followed behind his mother and sister. Father Fang looked at the three of them and said, "I'll go with you."
Fang Xiaoxi smiled. She felt that she had won. "The old lady's house has a large population. She doesn't need you to provide family happiness or anything like that."
When he was about to leave, he couldn't help but say that Father Fang really didn't know before that there were so many children in Linghou Mansion. He understood when he saw so many girls.
There is only one girl in their family, so the whole family spoils her. But his elder brother is just the opposite. There is only one boy in the family, so everyone spoils the boy.
But today, Father Fang did not see the boy, that is, Ling Shizi, because Ling Shizi went to the camp outside the capital for training.
The old lady looked at the backs of Fang's father and his family as they left. They were so determined that she didn't stop them for a moment. Just like that, the Fang family left directly from the Marquis' Mansion.
The Marquis was also stunned: "Do they really not care about our power at all? How could this be?"
Could it be that Fang Xiaoxi really thought that she no longer needed the Marquis' Mansion after relying on the Prince's Mansion? However, compared with the Prince's Mansion, the difference between the Marquis' Mansion and the Prince's Mansion is really not even a little bit.
"Mom, what's going on? What did you do last night?"
The old lady did not hide anything and directly told him what happened last night. The Marquis could not help but sigh: "Mother, you are acting too early. You should at least wait a little longer until my second brother has seen the prosperity of Kyoto before taking action."
That's true, we are all too anxious. But now he is still in Kyoto, it's not like there is no chance. The Marquis narrowed his eyes and said, "Didn't he say that if you ask, he would stay in the Marquis' Mansion for a few days? Just invite him back to stay for a few days."
The old lady nodded: "This is the only way now."
On the other side, Fang Xiaoxi brought her parents and brother back to the small yard they bought, and looked at her parents with a smile: "Dad, Mom, second brother, this is our own home. We don't have to look at other people's faces here. I happen to have time today, so I'll take you out to play."
Fang's mother still remembered that her daughter had to go to the palace for classes during the day: "Aren't you going to class?"
Fang Xiaoxi blinked her eyes and said, "If you don't want to go, you can still take a day off. You can go with me to the palace. After we get here, how can we not go to pay our respects?"
That's true. After all, the princess gave them two people to take care of them! After putting down the gift, he headed towards the Bingjian Palace.
