Chapter 370: On the Dinner Table
This person's heart is really difficult to fathom, sometimes, he has already decided to do it, but when he comes to the present, he hesitates and stops, and sometimes, he hesitates for a long time and can't make a decision, and when the matter comes to the front, he does it impulsively.
Now Yingyue is in such an embarrassing time, after seeing Yu'er yesterday and talking to her, Yingyue made a decision on the spot to tell Zhang Fan about it, after all, she had made up her mind that she would never want to hide anything from Zhang Fan no matter what she did in the future, but when it was time to meet Zhang Fan, and Zhang Fan was also sober, she should have told him on the spot, but for the special day yesterday, Yingyue didn't want to leave regrets yesterday, so she endured it and didn't say it.
Maybe Yingyue didn't say it yesterday because of special circumstances, which is understandable, but today, there is nothing to obstruct, or to give Yingyue a reason to hide things anymore.
It should have been something like this, but Yingyue hesitated again in the face of this situation.
The reason why Yu'er came here was to help Fang Yueling inquire about the news of her father Fang Zhenqian, the reason was naturally that Zhang Fan had asked Li Yang to send back the letter that he had found Fang Zhenqian, but Yingyue was a little worried about this, she was not worried that Zhang Fan had not found Fang Zhenqian, after all, this matter had been planned a long time ago, and the purpose was to lure Fang Yueling to show up, as for Fang Yueling to know that Zhang Fan was just lying to her and what anger she was angry about, Yingyue was not very worried, After all, Zhang Fan always has someone to protect her on weekdays, and she and Zhang Fan's other family members are the same, she knows that Fang Yueling is quite respectful of her father, but even if she loves her, it is impossible for her to mobilize all the hands of the entire Five Poisons Sect to help her do this, just relying on Yu'er, a woman who is simply powerless, to threaten Zhang Fan, it is almost impossible.
But Yingyue was still a little worried, as she talked about when she met Yu'er yesterday, she didn't know if Fang Yueling also came with her this time, it was true that Fang Yueling had no way to mobilize everyone in the entire Five Poisons Sect to help her find her father, and Fang Yueling herself could only be a second-rate person in the rivers and lakes if she talked about martial arts alone, but there was one thing that Yingyue could not predict, and it was also the thing she was most worried about, no one had ever seen Fang Yueling's true face, No one had even heard her voice.
When Fang Zhenqian disappeared, Fang Yueling took the place of her father as the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, but she never said a word, on weekdays, whether it was giving orders or forcing the members of the Five Poisons Sect to swallow the "Five Immortals Honeydew" and obey her, it was all conveyed through Yu'er's words, and no one had ever heard Fang Yueling speak in person.
A woman, no matter whether her appearance is beautiful or ugly, plus she is this kind of person in the rivers and lakes, there are thousands of reasons why she wears a veil and does not show her true face, there is always something that can be said, but a woman never speaks, the reason that Yingyue can think of, except that she is really like a broken bell, extremely unpleasant, I am afraid that the remaining reason is that she really can't speak, the people in the Five Poisons Sect have long been talking about this matter, and there are many such speculations, but this is just speculation, No one knows what the real situation looks like, maybe, maybe Fang Yueling's voice is not a problem, it's just that she has such a quirk that doesn't like to talk, although this situation sounds ridiculous, but it's not impossible.
Because of these reasons, Yingyue is worried now, after all, as she knows, Yu'er and Fang Yueling are almost inseparable, and Yingyue, who has been in the Early Five Poisons Sect for a long time, and Yingyue, who has been taken care of by Yu'er, knows that Fang Yueling is very concerned about Yu'er, and now that Yu'er has appeared here, Yingyue doesn't believe that she will be alone here, at least in her opinion, Fang Yueling will definitely not rest assured that Yu'er, a weak woman, is walking so far away from the southwest alone.
When Fang Yueling really followed Yu'er here, things would be troublesome, Fang Yueling didn't need to hide anything at all, because no one had ever seen her, she only needed to take off the veil to avoid all eyeliners, and although Fang Yueling was second-rate in martial arts, her ability to use poison could be said to be known to everyone in the Five Poisons Sect, even if Yingyue, a person who had only stayed in the Five Poisons Sect and hadn't been in it for a long time, believed that if Fang Yueling was allowed to poison people herself, it would be impossible to prevent it, In this world, I am afraid that no one in the world can detect and treat her poison except for her father Fang Zhenqian.
With this level of worry, Yingyue is now so depressed Do you want to tell Zhang Fan about it, Zhang Fan lied to Fang Yueling and said that he had learned about Fang Zhenqian, although this matter can be regarded as a secret, but in fact, there are many people who know about it, and Yingyue has almost five people who know about it.
And she was also afraid that after Zhang Fan learned the news that Yu'er had come to find her, he would step up his investigation into Fang Yueling or Fang Zhenqian's matter, so that some news would leak out and let Fang Yueling know about it.
In case the news leaked out of somewhere, and Fang Yueling, who learned that Zhang Fan was just deceiving herself, would she be angry and poison Zhang Fan ruthlessly, Yingyue really didn't dare to make this bet, if there was anything in case, Yingyue would really regret it.
Should I say it or not, Yingyue has been thinking about this issue since the morning, at noon, when Zhang Fan came back to eat, although she was also here, but she still looked absent-minded, Zhao and Ru Xue and several other women of the Zhang family, including Zhao Xue, thought that Yingyue was so abnormal today because of yesterday's wedding night, and they didn't take Yingyue's trance performance to heart, especially Zhaoxue, a little girl, and because of this incident, her face was very ugly.
But Zhang Fan has been thinking about the things in the court this morning, and his mind has been on Li Chunfang, Gao Gong, and the future situation of the imperial court, so he didn't pay too much attention to Yingyue's distracted appearance at all.
The dinner of the Zhang family is still adhering to the characteristics of the Zhang family, whether it is a man or a mother-in-law, a daughter-in-law, or a concubine are all around a table to eat, and therefore, although the Zhang family is now only Zhang Fan such a man, but it always seems very lively here, plus whether it is a woman or other people in the family, the relationship with each other is good, and there has never been a big family that is lively on the surface, but in fact it is deserted.
For these subordinates of the Zhang family, it is simply a pleasure for them to come here to work, whether it is the Zhao family, or the young lady Ru Xue, they are not the kind of temper that likes to call people, and they treat people very well, and the salary has never been deducted, and they are also very generous. It's a world of difference.
"Fan'er, why are you so happy when you went out this afternoon and encountered something good," Zhao couldn't help but ask when he noticed Zhang Fan's different situation at noon.
This is natural, Zhang Fan at noon was still sighing and lamenting the end of Li Chunfang's bumpy official career, and the struggle that will start again in the court in the future, naturally there will be nothing to be happy about, but this afternoon, after he and Li Chunfang talked freely, he understood a lot of truths, and also made him no longer worry about the unpredictable situation at all, relaxed his mood, and this person will naturally smile.
"Mother, it's a matter of the court," Zhang Fan said with a smile, he didn't explain anything, he didn't want to tell his family what happened in the court and let them worry, especially now, as the only man in the Zhang family, all he has to do is to make his family happy, other outside things, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, Zhang Fan doesn't want to disturb them, "Mother, there were some troublesome things in the court the day before yesterday, and the child had to work for a while, and now that the matter is solved, he naturally wants to be happy, right Mother, The child has been wanting to ask yesterday, why didn't the child see his uncle's family yesterday?"
"Alas, your uncle and his family were present yesterday, but they were sitting farther away, and you were busy greeting guests, so naturally you didn't care about it," Zhao said helplessly, "Originally, I asked them to go together, but when your uncle heard that the people who came to the banquet yesterday were all first-class and second-class officials in the court, he didn't want to sit down, and I don't know why,"
Zhang Fan heard it, but he just smiled, didn't say anything, he naturally understood the reason, although Zhang Yufang was also in harmony with the officialdom of the shopping mall when he was in Yangzhou, but in the final analysis, he was a businessman after all, and it was natural for a businessman to face so many first-class and second-grade court officials, and his lack of confidence.
"This ...... Mother, I'll go to my uncle's side later," Zhang Fan said.
Suddenly, the atmosphere was harmonious.
"Hey, sister Yue'er, why don't you eat," Luo Ling'er, who was sitting next to Yingyue, saw Yingyue sitting there in a daze, and didn't move her chopsticks, and couldn't help but ask with some worry, "Is it uncomfortable?"
"Ah...... I...... I'm fine, sister eats," Yingyue said with some distraction.
When Zhao and the others heard this, they thought that Yingyue must be "uncomfortable" because of last night, they were all smiling, only Zhang Fan saw Yingyue's expression, and pondered, Yingyue is a cheerful woman, and she will never become frustrated because of that kind of thing, and the sharp-minded Zhang Fan has already felt that Yingyue must have something on her mind.
