Manor of the Thousand.
There was a sharp sound, like a snap.
Wan Ronghua slapped his mistress Fang Fang’s face, leaving her with an incredulous expression. This only made Wan Ronghua even more angry.
"Who allowed you to provoke Fang Yuan at such a crucial time?" Wan Ronghua said angrily.
He was breathing heavily, his face turning red with frustration. Clearly, he was very angry.
Seeing Wan Ronghua’s expression, Fang Fang, who was feeling somewhat aggrieved, couldn’t help but feel a little fearful. She lowered her voice and said:
"Didn’t the master promise to help me and punish Fang Yuan?"
"I thought Qiao Shuanglin, who supported Fang Yuan, had already died due to the master’s plans?"
Wan Ronghua was at a loss for words.
This Fang Fang is still a young concubine, her status within the Wan family is neither high nor low.As soon as the official matters arrived, Wan Ronghua immediately rushed to the Qin Shiqing’s residence, completely disregarding his own concubine.
And this concubine, she can’t really be considered the one in charge of the Wan family.
So the information that Wan Ronghua had, Fang Fang was unable to know at the first moment.
This made her take matters into her own hands, causing Wan Ronghua to worry.
"What happened to Fang Yuan? Did your little plan succeed?" Wan Ronghua sighed and sat down on the armchair, asking.
"He doesn’t follow the rules." Fang Fang frowned and said angrily.
"This time, Fang Yuan played the role of a villain. He grabbed the old man who intentionally caused an accident and beat him up in the street. He even planned to take him to the authorities. But the villain reported first, saying that the old man was provoking him and delaying his duty at the heavenly prison."
"Although the people I sent were loudly denouncing Fang Yuan on the side, he remained unfazed."
Wan Ronghua fell silent, holding his forehead and letting out a long sigh.
"How can we apply the same method we used for dealing with Qiao Shuanglin to deal with Fang Yuan? It wouldn’t work."
"Huh?" Fang Fang blinked her eyes.
"This method was enough to handle someone as skilled in martial arts as Qiao Shuanglin. It almost ruined his reputation in the Imperial Capital. Dealing with someone like Fang Yuan should be a piece of cake."
Wan Ronghua decided not to speak.
"There’s no such thing as a universal magic plan in this world. Different people require different strategies."
"Qiao Shuanglin comes from a famous family of heroes, just like Qiao. That’s why my previous plan was able to trap him, because he is always careful and thinks things through. Before he takes action, he considers whether the common people around him are innocent or intentionally causing trouble."
"But someone like Fang Yuan, who grew up as a prison guard in a heavenly place, doesn’t care about his reputation being tarnished. He doesn’t care whether others have good or bad intentions."
"And this situation has already happened twice in front of Qiao Shuanglin before. Do you really think Fang Yuan would be foolish enough to have no defenses?"
Wan Ronghua said this while shaking his head and sighing.
No wonder his father’s will didn’t give any of the Fang family’s shops to Fang Fang, but instead gave them to Fang Yuan.
If Fang Fang had been given those shops, with her intelligence, it wouldn’t take long for her to lose everything.
"His father was a very wise person. Although he wasn’t my opponent, he indeed had the ability to judge people accurately. He saw through both of his own children." ⱤãŊố₿ƐS̈
Wan Ronghua thought of his father, who was defeated by him in the past, and sighed a little.
His father’s will divided the family’s assets into two parts: one part consisted of antique shops and the old mansion on Antique Street, while the other part included the collection of antiques and calligraphy within the shops.
The first one only has three, but the second one has seven, and that’s the big part.
After all, Fang Fang is his real daughter.
And for Fang Yuan, his father’s way of handling things is great too.
Ever since his father found out that Fang Yuan was only seven years old and felt bad about not being able to visit his biological father, he knew that this kid was careful in his thoughts and had deep emotions.
So he treats Fang Yuan well, like his own.
As for leaving the old house to Fang Yuan who is not his biological son, in Wan Ronghua’s opinion, it’s actually a clever move.
The land value of the old house was not high back then, and it’s also not well-maintained and a bit old.
But for Fang Yuan who values emotions more, the old house has more meaning.
In Wan Ronghua’s view, by giving the shop and the old house to Fang Yuan, his father is clearly playing the emotional card.
The so-called seeing things and having feelings. Every time Fang Yuan sees the two jujube trees in the courtyard, he must think of his father’s advice at that time: to support each other with his little sister Fang Fang.
As long as Fang Fang doesn’t go too far, Fang Yuan will also take care of his non-blood-related little sister Fang Fang for the sake of his stepfather’s face.
The so-called sitting and eating away, the inheritance left by his father may not be enough for Fang Fang to spend her whole life.
But with Fang Yuan, who manages an antique shop, at least he can ensure that Fang Fang has no worries about clothing and food… This is Wan Ronghua’s speculation on the thoughts of his opponent before his death.
"This woman, I’m afraid she will completely ruin Fang Yuan’s feelings today…"
Wan Ronghua shook his head, he made up his mind that from now on he absolutely cannot let Fang Fang take control of the house, just treat her like a canary.
Although this woman is good-looking, she lacks clarity in her mind and is prone to jealousy. She causes too much trouble.
Wan Ronghua sighed.
If it were in the past, he would definitely send experts to use force immediately, and kill Fang Yuan right away, to cover up for Fang Fang.
But now he doesn’t have the strength for this.
Although Qiao Shuanglin has died.
But several troublemakers hired by Wan Ronghua to falsely accuse Qiao Shuanglin have already turned themselves in to the authorities… This means that there must be someone, or some power, siding with the deceased Qiao Shuanglin.
And what Wan Ronghua is afraid of is Qiao’s family appearing in Imperial Capital again.
At this moment, it is already different from when Qiao Shuanglin was here.
Back then, Wan Ronghua was hiding in the darkness, but now he is very likely to be targeted by Qiao’s family. How can he have the capacity to cover for Fang Fang?
"Immediately bring all the guards and attendants from the mansion here. We must keep a close watch on the mansion these nights." Wan Ronghua ordered immediately.
Relying solely on guards or attendants is not enough, he is not at ease.
Although Qin Shiqing has already declared that he will take action, if he is a little late, even if he manages to kill the next Qiao family elder, what good will it do?
"Someone, quickly go to the Qin Mansion and deliver a message for me," Wan Ronghua glanced at the sky and immediately called a trusted person.
It was already nighttime, the surroundings were dark, and the night sky was without a moon.
It was the perfect night for skilled warriors to take action.
If it weren’t for Wan Ronghua being afraid of dying, he wouldn’t have sent someone else and would have gone himself.
Soon, the Wan Family Mansion was brightly lit, every room had lights on, and guards were patrolling back and forth. The whole mansion was busy.
Wan Ronghua sat on the main seat in the hall, holding prayer beads in his hand, but a sense of unease rose in his heart.
