"Don't expect forgiveness. However, the death penalty can be spared." She still wanted to make more trouble. It would be boring to kill him with one blow. If she was bored, she might think too much. It was obviously because of the Fan family that she had a rift with her mother. She couldn't vent her original depression and current anger on irrelevant people.
"Death penalty" may not be a real death penalty, but Master Fan still breathed a sigh of relief, even though he knew that Princess Fukang would not let her go easily. Master Fan spoke cautiously, "Princess, please give your instructions."
"Let's not talk about anything else for now. Just return all the benefits that your husband has directly or indirectly obtained from me over the years. This is very simple, right? After all, I have always been kind." Princess Fukang spoke slowly.
Young Master Fan almost couldn't hold back his laughter. It seemed like it was really nothing. After all, the Fan family was doing very well before his mother married into the family. But in fact, his mother's influence on the Fan family over the past nearly twenty years was absolutely beyond the imagination of outsiders. The reason for this was that the Fan family was too greedy.
Although his parents had long been strangers, and his father rarely set foot in the Princess's Mansion, when he occasionally went there, it was probably to "ask for something", and the so-called request was very much taken for granted. Since his mother didn't care or take it seriously, she usually agreed to it casually. Of course, these were just small things. The Fan family gained more benefits by acting in the name of his mother.
This involved many aspects, some business, some conveniences, and even the transfer of certain official positions. The head of the Fan family still had a sense of propriety, and he handled it just right every time. It was okay to fulfill their wishes. After all, Princess Fukang had informed Emperor Xuanren in advance, and Emperor Xuanren did not take it seriously, so naturally it didn't matter.
That is why the Fan family really believed that Princess Fukang owed them a lot and could let them get whatever they wanted. As a result, today, the entire Fan family is closely connected with Princess Fukang. Therefore, if all the benefits obtained through Princess Fukang are returned, the entire Fan family will be seriously damaged.
There are some things that it can't pay back. For some business matters, the worst that can happen is that the money is given to Princess Fukang, but what about the official positions? Can they just be taken away? And for those things that were accomplished through Princess Fukang, do they have to return all the benefits? Then how far is the Fan family from ruin
Most people probably don't realize this, only the head of the Fan family and a few others felt their eyes go dark. This is still her kindness. If she is not kind, is she really going to destroy the entire Fan family
"Fukang, don't go too far!" Prince Consort Fan was furious.
Although Prince Fan was extremely surprised by the problem with the Fan family's bloodline, he just couldn't believe it. After all, he now had more than ten illegitimate children, and all of them were healthy, so he expressed doubts about this point. However, what happened later forced him to admit that if this was really the case, then it was their Fan family who was sorry for her, and his father's behavior was understandable. His father was responsible for the rise and fall of the entire family, so of course he had to make choices and someone had to make sacrifices for it. Since Fu Kang married into the Fan family, she was a part of the Fan family. Isn't it natural for her to contribute something to this family
Besides, she is a princess and is favored by the emperor. She will not lose anything if she suffers a little injustice. On the contrary, she will be pitied by the emperor. She might have gained her current status in this way. How dare she argue with the Fan family and be so cruel!
"It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime! But you are a princess, high up in the world, and the Fan family has nothing to say about you. But you are so cruel and you dare to call yourself kind. If you are kind, there is probably no kind person in the world.
I thought you were a gentle and kind person, but I don't know if you have changed, or if you are just like this by nature and you are used to pretending. I am afraid it is the latter. I was blind at the time. If I had known you were like this, I would rather die than marry you!"
Looking at her expression of extreme shame and indignation, those who didn't know might have thought that Princess Fukang was cheating people of both money and women.
Xiao Cao didn't know that she would actually hear such blatant words from a scumbag. "Now that the prince consort knows, why don't you write a letter to ask the emperor to let you and the princess divorce? If the emperor disagrees, you can just die. Anyway, according to your thinking, if you knew the princess's 'true nature' back then, you would have died to resist the order. It's just a death anyway, and this will fulfill your integrity. Now that you've found out, you should cut your losses in time and go to hell early."
At other times, Xiaocao might be able to watch from the sidelines, but when faced with such a scumbag, she could hardly control her temper.
Prince Consort Fan was choked by Xiao Cao and looked very angry. He pointed at Xiao Cao angrily and said, "Where did this ignorant little girl come from? How dare she talk to this Prince Consort like that?"
Xiao Cao laughed sarcastically, "The husband of a princess is a consort. Only when there is a princess can there be a consort. You are so disdainful of the eldest princess, but you feel good about your status as a consort. This is like that, you curse your mother after drinking milk, you are worse than an animal."
Prince Consort Fan was so angry that he almost fell over.
Fortunately, Xiaocao didn’t know the disgusting thoughts in his mind, otherwise it wouldn’t have been over with just a few words.
Princess Fukang was almost killed by Prince Consort Fan's words. She was truly blind to have chosen such a thing from so many people. The sweetness and beauty at the beginning of their marriage might have been one of the reasons why Princess Fukang tolerated Prince Consort Fan. But thinking about it now, she just wanted to vomit.
But before she could open her mouth, the girl Xuan retorted. Before, she really didn't know that this girl was so jealous of evil and so eloquent. To be honest, she was not the majority. Although she was of high status, it seemed that she could not give her much benefit. This girl, really was... The anger in her heart was extinguished with a hiss. Perhaps when she was defended so directly, she would always feel happy unconsciously.
Young Master Fan was not a good-tempered person to begin with. His face was gloomy and he almost lost control and rushed forward to fight with his biological father. After all, because the other party was his biological father, he hesitated and restrained himself for a moment, and then let Xiaocao take the lead. He was not as reserved as Princess Fukang. After hearing what Xiaocao said, he clapped his hands and laughed, "Well said, mother, if you ask me, don't talk about divorce, just divorce your husband directly."
Fan Wuguo said that her mother should have divorced her long ago, and it would be a simple matter for her to remarry. If she didn't want to get married, she could keep a few lovers around her, and he, as her son, would never say a word against it. It was inexplicable to him that she didn't divorce him for a bunch of reasons. Now, she is definitely divorcing her husband.
"Fan Wuguo, I am your father, how dare you be so rebellious? Don't forget, your last name is Fan!" Being bullied by the little girl who came out of nowhere and by his own son, Prince Consort Fan even felt that decades of unhappiness were concentrated on this day.
"So what? I have been a traitor for a long time, what can you do to me? Besides, if I want to take my mother's surname, do you think the emperor will not agree? Even if I still have the surname Fan, I am a duke personally appointed by the emperor. What can the Fan family do to me? It's you, Fourth Master Fan, who has been living a smooth life for too long that you can't even understand the basic situation! Where do you get the confidence to yell at my mother now? Or do you really think my mother is too kind, and taking back those things is not enough for you, and there are so many things left that you forget the hierarchy!"
Prince Consort Fan's face turned the color of liver. He used to be so glorious in the Fan family, but now his reputation was torn off and thrown on the ground to be trampled on. How could he survive in the future? This evil creature, this evil creature—
Obviously, Prince Consort Fan is still selectively forgetful. His so-called glory still depends on Princess Fukang. Without Princess Fukang, he is nothing. He is jumping up and down in front of his "parents who provide him with food and clothing". Is it because things were too smooth in the past that he has not yet come to his senses, or is he too stupid
To be honest, many people have tried various methods to signal Prince Consort Fan, but he is like a blind man who can't feel or see anything. Fortunately, some people just close their eyes to pretend they don't see anything, but closing their eyes won't bring peace of mind, after all, they still have ears. Closing their eyes is fine, but covering their ears directly would be too inappropriate.
Another person who almost got hurt was the head of the Fan family. Facing the criticism from Princess Fukang, he was still trying his best to deal with it, thinking about how to minimize the losses of the Fan family. Before he could sort out his thoughts, his son actually added fuel to the fire, making him almost suffocate.
Patriarch Fan had always believed that his fourth son, although not very capable, was quite smart, and most importantly, had a nice face and could coax people with his mouth. Patriarch Fan had always believed that his son's relationship with Princess Fukang still existed. He was also loyal to the family and very useful. However, he did not expect that his hand would be severely cut today.
The head of the Fan family really wanted to jump up and slap this evildoer in the face to make him shut up.
"Wuguo, there are some things that grandpa did wrong. Grandpa was wrong. I apologize to your mother, but we can quarrel as much as we want as a family, but there are some things that cannot be said. If we say them, it will hurt feelings. As the eldest princess said, we will return everything. However, Wuguo is the entire Fan family. If we return it to the eldest princess, it will be like transferring from the left hand to the right hand. Isn't it necessary?" The head of the Fan family said sincerely.
Many people, including the Fan family, were stunned because of the shamelessness of the head of the Fan family!
To be honest, the entire Fan family, apart from the large number of people, what else can compare to Fan Wuguo's Duke's Mansion? Moreover, with Fan Wuguo's status, when he wants to do something, there are many people rushing to help him, so, is he lacking anything? No. To him, these messy people in the Fan family are just a burden.
Before, Fan Wuguo had no chance of becoming the heir of the Fan family in any way. Now that the Fan family's foundation is being shaken by Princess Fukang, he wants to tie the Fan family to Fan Wuguo. He is shameless and has good ideas, but he doesn't even consider whether Fan Wuguo wants it or not.
"Grandfather, what you mean is that you want me to inherit the Fan family. Is that true?" Fan Wuguo asked with interest.
"Of course it's true. In fact, my grandfather had this idea a long time ago." The head of the Fan family looked at Fan Wuguo with extraordinary kindness, and his words were truly sincere.
Even many people present believed it.
"Is that so?" Fan Wuguo showed some hesitation on his face, "Does my uncle know about this? Do my cousins know about it? They won't agree, after all, according to the rules, they should be the ones to inherit the Fan family."
"How could they disagree? In fact, my grandfather has already told them about it, and they not only agree, but are also willing to assist you."
“Is that so? That’s really…” Fan Wuguo lowered his head and smiled, as if he couldn’t suppress his giggles. As he laughed, his whole body began to tremble. Then he simply laughed out loud and almost fell down on his chair. He was leaning forward and backward, extremely exaggerated. Then he rubbed his stomach which hurt from laughing. “Grandfather, I just realized today that you, an old man, can be so funny. Really, you’re laughing to death. Hahahaha, hahahahaha…”
