Chapter 897 - 198: Pei Qian the Little Rich Lady_2
Fang Li, having rushed on the road for several days, spent yesterday drinking and fooling around with Widow Yang, knelt through the night, and came down with fever and headache. He was so drowsy and listless he couldn’t get up. Old Scholar Fang prepared medicine for him, and as long as he didn’t die, he was to continue copying "The Rules of Disciple".
Fang Zhi came over, was not allowed to see Fang Li, and loudly called out for Brother Fang.
Fang Li wanted to respond, but seeing Old Scholar Fang’s stern face, he dared not make a sound.
"Brother Fang! Brother Fang! I heard you’re seriously ill, and you haven’t seen a doctor. I’m worried about you, brother, so I came to see you!" Fang Zhi shouted loudly.
Fang Liuming came out with a cold expression.
Seeing him, Fang Zhi couldn’t help feeling guilty, and he couldn’t stop the accusations against him in his mind. How many officials are there that don’t seek wealth? His appearance of upright integrity was just for show, hypocrisy! Perhaps, unknown to them, he had already made a fortune on the sly! In front of them, he still put on airs, sending him back.
According to Pei Qian’s wishes, if Fang Zhi committed any misdeeds, he was to be left in Baoning County. Fang Liuming had only recently started his official career and had not yet developed the ruthlessness, so he merely expelled him from Baoning County.
Fang Zhi felt humiliated and annoyed. Yet, fearing Fang Liuming might crack down on him, he called out twice more, and seeing that Fang Li did not respond, "Brother Fang, I’ll come see you another day!" He then left straight away.
