Chapter 912 - 203: Clever Calculation
Fang Li, having figured out his plan, promised Widow Yang that he would take her with him to follow Fang Liuming to his post, where they would enjoy the good life of flavors and luxury, and not have to stay in the Fang household, enduring Lady Yu’s demeanor.
Widow Yang, weakly leaning into his embrace, appeared even paler, adding to her fragile beauty, "I’ll listen to you."
At that moment, Fang Li felt the sense of male pride that Widow Yang had satisfied in him, and he vowed to ensure she would live a good life, wearing brocade silks and eating the most exquisite delicacies.
Widow Yang gently persuaded him to keep their plans from his family for now, as the family would certainly disapprove. After the New Year, they could simply leave with Fang Liuming for his post.
Fang Li nodded as he listened, plotting secretly in his heart.
In truth, Widow Yang didn’t really want to confront Pei Qian; the Fang family had already spread the word that she would go with Fang Liuming to his post, without the need to dutifully serve her in-laws at home. If she and Fang Li went as well, Pei Qian, that venomous and mean little bitch, would certainly make her life difficult and scheme against her.
However, staying in the Fang household meant no access to money, not to mention the insurmountable obstacles of Old Scholar Fang and Grandma Fang. Lady Yu also held the title of principal wife. It would be better to go with Fang Li to Fang Liuming’s post. At least Fang Li did not harbor the same hatred and anger towards his parents and Lady Yu, but he despised Pei Qian deeply. And as a daughter-in-law, what could she do to Fang Li?
As the New Year drew closer, the trouble within the Fang household was quietly spreading from mouth to mouth in secret.
