Chapter 42: Another Favor
Turning to look at the rest of the Fan family, Xiao Shao asked, "Have you all decided to stay?" In addition to Fan Zhengyin and his younger sister Fan Zhengxue, there were also their half-sisters, as well as their parents and his father’s concubines. Fan Zhengyin looked at his father and asked, "Father, what is your decision?"
Hearing his son’s question, Fan Zhiheng looked at Xiao Shao and said, "I will leave with my family. I am really ashamed to rely on Eldest Young Master Xiao’s kindness."
After speaking, together with his wife, concubines and children, he bowed deeply to Fan Guohai.
"Father, this son is not filial. I can’t let my incompetence drag you and Da Lang down. This son will repay your kindness in the future." He spoke in a hoarse voice.
He bowed three times at Fan Guohai, then straightened his waist and walked towards the mule cart without looking back. Seeing her father go away, Fan Zhengxue looked at her elder brother worriedly. Seeing that her elder brother just stood there in silence, she tugged on his sleeve.
"Elder brother, father and the others are leaving."
Fan Zhengyin looked at her tenderly, and asked, "Xue’er, will you be with your elder brother or your father?"
Fan Zhengxue blinked a few times while she was thinking seriously. After a while, she raised her head and looked at her elder brother’s gentle eyes.
