Chapter 891 - 196: Such Indecency_2
Having him scheme against Pei Qian, Fang Li still felt some hesitation in his heart. Pei Qian knew martial arts, and even if that were not the case, every time she went out, she was accompanied by maids and guards. She wasn’t someone you could get close to if you weren’t trained in the martial arts.
After all, it wasn’t his own home, so when Fang Liuming saw Fang Hui making eye contact with his father, he guessed that there was something going on. He quickly washed up and changed his clothes to come out.
When Fang Hui saw him come out, she immediately stopped talking and changed the subject, asking Fang Li if he would also take a bath, "Taking a bath before sleep will make you feel more comfortable."
Fang Li glanced at his tall and sturdy eldest son, his gaze darkening as he rose to take a bath. It had been hard to raise a promising son, and yet this son didn’t care at all for his father!
Fang Hui noticed that Fang Liuming hadn’t washed his hair and had come out so quickly; she feared that Pei Qian had already turned him against her, so she wiped the corner of her eye and said, "I just had a heart-to-heart with your father. Our noodle shop isn’t doing any business now, and Pei Qian still isn’t willing to let us off the hook. She’s forbidden us from making the spicy pickled cabbage, and the noodle shop is about to close down."
"I’ve already heard about the spicy pickled cabbage. My cousin published the recipe for everyone, which must have some underlying reasons, right?" Fang Liuming was in a hurry on his trip, and when he heard the news, he asked someone to inquire about it but didn’t learn anything, only that Madam Yuanyang had made the spicy pickled cabbage recipe public.
Fang Hui’s eyes turned cold, "You’ve always been on good terms with them, always taking their side, no matter what they do. I can’t say anything that you would believe. With the two families about to be joined by marriage, I better keep quiet, lest I say something that might tarnish Pei Qian’s reputation... Your room has been tidied up. It’s a bit cramped but please bear with it for the night, and squeeze in with your father in the south room!"
She deliberately left her sentence hanging, letting Fang Liuming guess the rest. That wretched girl had intended to marry into a wealthy family to become a young lady; failing that, she now had her sights set on Fang Liuming to become an officer’s wife. Fang Liuming was bewitched by that seductress and believed everything they said. If that wretched girl married into the Fang family, it was only a matter of time before the family would disown her, their daughter!
