Chapter 998 - 227: Unwilling to Die_3
"Mom—Mom—"
Fang Li’s face turned deathly pale as he collapsed onto the ground, Lady Yu was dead. He... he was doomed!
Yang Yulan, seeing his fear of death, also became frightened, her eyes darting around quickly. She didn’t know whether Lady Yu had heard what Fang Zhi had said to her or whether she had told Fang Liuming and Pei Qian what she knew before dying. She wanted to run, but running away would only confirm her guilt. Pei Qin was here, she wouldn’t let her escape!
Pei Qin no longer watched the crowd crying in the house; she walked out expressionless, "Doctor Qi, please prepare two prescriptions for me."
Doctor Qi scrutinized her carefully, his face betraying nothing unusually calm, and eerie. However, as his gaze shifted to the residence of Fang Li and Yang Yulan, he could sense the chilling aura of murderous intent surrounding her. Was the madam thinking of killing Fang Li and his concubine!? He was shocked, "Madam, we cannot do this." Even if it indeed was Fang Li and his concubine who had killed the First Madam, the Government Office should be the one to mete out punishment. There was no need for madam to stain her hands with their dirty blood.
Lu Hai silently observed her, waiting for her instructions. There was no need for her to act personally to kill Fang Li and his concubine. Moreover, with Lady Yu dead, Fang Liuming and Pei Qian would need to observe three years of mourning. If Fang Li and his concubine also died, people would start speculating, which would not bode well for Fang Liuming’s future career.
If the Government Office got involved and it was revealed that Fang Li favored his concubine to the point of killing his wife, then Fang Liuming’s reputation would also be ruined.
Old Scholar Fang also wished he could just kill Fang Li and Yang Yulan himself, but he hesitated at the thought of involving the Government Office.
