"If all the elders of the Fang family in Ji County want to force me out of the Fang family ancestral hall, Yuhuan has nothing to say. This is a family matter, and Shengyuan has no right to interfere. But everything in the Fang family, inside and outside, belongs to my husband. My husband is dead, and these things are not important to Yuhuan, but I can't give up my husband's things. If you want to take them by force, I will go to the palace to beat the drum to complain. If Jingguo doesn't care, I will go to Shengyuan. If Shengyuan doesn't care, I will try the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea."
Fang Li shouted angrily: "Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit! If you voluntarily hand over the power of the Fang family, we will give you endless wealth for your whole life. If you continue to be stubborn, you will be kicked out and live in humiliation for the rest of your life!"
Wei Huangan suddenly asked, "If I kill Fang Li, what will be the punishment according to Jingguo Law?"
Nanyuan fell silent, and everyone looked towards Wei Huangan.
"How dare you!" Cha Wenyi shouted loudly, showing his official authority.
Chen Jing glanced at the Minister of Personnel and said, "In Shengyuan Continent, when judging murder cases, we often examine whether it is a 'righteous act'. It is the same murder, but the evil killing the good and the good killing the evil are different. Fang Li's action is unrighteous even if it is to deal with family affairs. If a clean-handed scholar kills him, he will be exiled to the ancient land for five to ten years. Wei is a pillar of the human race and provides a large amount of dragon-patterned rice to the Holy Academy. According to convention, the punishment will be lighter."
"Well, Fang Li, remember, the day Yang Yuhuan is expelled from the Fang family is the day you will die!" Wei Huangan's tone was quite kind, and he even smiled, but the expression of treating Fang Li like a pig and dog was clearly visible on his face.
Fang Li was so frightened that his legs were shaking. After all, the other party was a real Grand Secretary. Not to mention him, even the Left Prime Minister would have been unable to sleep or eat well facing the Grand Secretary's assassination attempt.
"You are worthy of being a traitor to the ancient land of Xuemang. Killing our human race is like killing monsters and barbarians." Cha Wenyi said sarcastically.
"Well, the damage this man has caused to our human race is no less than that of a barbarian king. It is reasonable to regard him as a monster." Wei Huangan said.
Cha Wenyi looked at Yang Yuhuan and said, "We have obtained the documents from the Zongzheng Temple. Since Fang Xusheng has passed away, all of you must leave Quanyuan immediately to avoid tarnishing the royal reputation. As for the Prince Ji's Mansion, it is still under construction. Because the Spring Festival is approaching, the construction has been stopped. You can find a place to live by yourselves! I will give you two hours to pack up."
"despicable!"
"The left prime minister and his party are completely devoid of conscience. Only beasts would bully a weak woman."
"Bah! Traitors!"
Cha Wenyi's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Yang Yuhuan quietly.
Chen Jing said: "Aristocratic families are not allowed to interfere in state affairs. I will not comment on the affairs of the Zongzheng Temple. However, since Madam Fang is leaving Quanyuan, why not stay at my Chen family temporarily? My Chen family has nothing else, but we can still vacate a few rooms."
Yang Yuhuan looked at Chen Jing gratefully.
Meng Jingye nodded, looked at Yang Yuhuan and said, "Madam Fang, Fang Xusheng and I are friends for life and death, and this Chen Jing is the grandson of the head of the Chen family. Instead of being bullied here, it is better to move to the Chen family for the time being. As for the future, we will plan it in the long run."
Yang Yuhuan sighed softly and said, "Thank you all for your care. I will pack up and go to Chen's house to stay temporarily."
Fang Li looked at Cha Wenyi with an embarrassed expression.
Cha Wenyi said nothing. The left prime minister and his party could indeed make things difficult for Fang Yun. They could indeed use official means to do many things. The Jingguo families could only talk about it at most and would not directly stop it. Because that would violate the law, and the Dongsheng Pavilion would have an excuse to punish severely.
But now that Yang Yuhuan is going to the Chen family, no one can stop her unless they frame her. But that is a risky move, or even a wrong move. Once used, it will inevitably trigger a civil uprising. Zuo Xiang and his party will definitely not be that stupid.
Cha Wenyi bowed to Yang Yuhuan and said, "Mrs. Fang is so reasonable, so we are relieved. But you can only bring your personal belongings and personal property. All the manuscripts, treasures or wealth related to Fang Xusheng must be recorded one by one. Whether it is handed over to the Holy Court, the national treasury, the Fang family or you, it needs to go through the legal process. Please don't misunderstand us."
Fang Daniu said angrily, "My master's things cannot be taken away? If they should belong to my wife, when can she take them?"
Cha Wenyi said helplessly: "This is embarrassing for me. You have to know that this involves Jingguo, Jixian Fang family and Shengyuan. Many documents need to be circulated between the three places. Some documents are not suitable for delivery and can only be sent by post. So, if it is not resolved in three to five years, please don't misunderstand. It is really because Shengyuan Continent is too vast and has nothing to do with us."
"Bastard official!" Fang Daniu spat on the ground angrily.
Cha Wenyi smiled and said, "Sir, I have always advised you kindly and never responded to your insults. If you continue to do this, I will protect my reputation as a scholar and let you know the serious consequences..."
"Dog official!" Wei Huangan cursed loudly, interrupting Cha Wenyi's words.
"Dog official!" Meng Jingye shouted.
"Dog official!" Chen Jing looked at Cha Wenyi with contempt.
"Dog official..."
The same shouts and curses were heard one after another, continuously. Some people even felt that cursing once was not enough, so they kept cursing.
Cha Wenyi's face flushed red, and for a moment he didn't know how to face it. Not to mention him, even the smartest person would be helpless if being cursed by so many people.
Some servants could not help but lower their heads, because if they continued to watch, they would probably laugh out loud.
"Hmph!" Cha Wenyi could no longer stand, and he swung his sleeves, saying as he walked away, "I'll go to the door and check all the property you want to take away!"
Fang Li hurried to catch up, but Fang Zhongyong walked up to Yang Yuhuan, bowed three times, said nothing, and left in shame.
Wei Huangan and others stood here, waiting for Yang Yuhuan to finish packing and then left together to go to Chen's house.
The Chen family was extremely warm and welcoming. Chen Mingding led the whole family to show concern for Yang Yuhuan and found the best courtyard for her to live in.
After finishing his chores, Meng Jingye went to Wei Huangan's courtyard and saw Wei Huangan reading in the pavilion. He smiled as he walked and said, "I heard from the people in Xuemang Ancient Land that you are lazy and don't like reading the most. It seems that the rumor is wrong."
Wei Huangan put down the book in his hand, stood up and looked at Meng Jingye, sighed and said: "The rumors are true, I was like that before. But things are different now. My responsibility back then was just to protect a city. As for the ancestral path, it was just my highest goal, even if I couldn't complete it, it didn't matter. But now, I may be carrying the entire Blood Mang Ancient Land, or the entire Blood Mang Realm on my shoulders. When I was reading just now, I suddenly realized that perhaps, in Fang Xusheng's heart, what he carried on his shoulders was the entire Shengyuan Continent, all the human race."
Meng Jingye sighed and said, "Fang Xusheng has been studying like crazy in recent years. Even the most diligent people would not sleep only one hour a day like him. It's not a big deal if he does this occasionally, but he doesn't take a break even on holidays, and even turned down many literary gatherings and banquets, offending many people. It's really unusual."
"Let's not talk about Fang Xusheng for now. Do you have something to say?" Wei Huangan said.
"Well, I have some friends to meet in the capital. You stay here first. If the Holy Academy has any results, the Chen family will send you back to the Holy Academy."
"Excuse me, is this related to Fang Xusheng?"
"It is inconvenient to tell you this." Meng Jingye said.
