Chapter 17: The Night of Murderous Intent
"Then why are you lying? Since it was the old butler who gave you a hint, wouldn't it be good to tell us directly at the beginning? ”
"I ...... Because I saw things that I shouldn't see, I was afraid that the murderer would target me, Mr. Xu, you must save me. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Mrs. Fang's body trembled, and her head was always looking around, as if she was guarding against someone.
"Were you standing far away from the kitchen? I didn't see your footprints near the kitchen. ”
"It's quite far away, but I can see it clearly, the kitchen is very bright, and the old butler is in this position."
"The kitchen door was wide open, did you see anyone else in the kitchen? It's good to be a human figure. ”
"I don't know, I was so scared that I could look at the rest, but when I just turned to leave, it seemed as if someone was staring at me in the kitchen, and I subconsciously looked back at the kitchen, but there was no one, so I quickly walked away."
"There's another question, why didn't you follow the old butler directly after receiving the hint? What makes you hesitate? ”
"This ...... Because I'm afraid, I don't dare to walk around this yard alone, I'm afraid ......"
"What are you afraid of?"
"Don't ask me, please, don't ask me......"
"What the hell are you afraid of?"
Under Xu Tian's questioning, Mrs. Fang covered her ears and squatted on the ground and screamed loudly.
"She's done something wrong, she's afraid of ghosts, right?" The old lady said.
"You know the inside story?" Xu Tian asked.
"I know, this vixen didn't have any good intentions when she married into Fang Mansion, it must be for greedy money, what she is doing outside, I know everything, fox spirit, you go out in the evening every once in a while, saying that you go to the theater, but in fact there is no such thing at all, am I right?" The old lady pointed at Mrs. Fang and said.
"No, I don't blame me, the lord forced me, it was the lord who asked me to go to the temple to pray for blessings, and he didn't let me tell the old lady that the lord wanted me to have a son, and I didn't want to go!" Mrs. Fang cried.
"No wonder, this makes sense, you can't wear a hat to pray in the temple, Mrs. Fang's hat must have been left in the temple, but I don't understand, why hide this kind of thing from the old lady? Didn't the old lady want Mrs. Fang to have a baby? Xu Tian asked.
"Of course she doesn't." Mrs. Fang said. "This old woman just wants to kill Commander Fang, and the front commander told me in two months that I must be careful of everyone in the family, and I must not walk around in the yard by myself, and every time I come back from praying for blessings, I have to come to Commander Fang's study to report safety, which is what Commander Fang ordered me to do." Mrs. Fang said.
"So when you returned to Fang Mansion from outside, you went straight back to the study? But Mrs. Fang, you already knew that Commander Fang was dead before you went out, so why did you go out? ”
"I don't dare to stay alone in this yard, didn't I say that?"
"The reason is Commander Fang's words?"
"Yes, everyone in this family wants to kill Commander Fang, and the old lady is to avenge her own son eighteen years ago; Fang Qingzhu and the second young master are to avenge their husband and biological father; Xiao Nannan is to avenge his father who was killed by Commander Fang five years ago; The eldest young master is because ...... Because ......"
"Say! Why don't you go on? The old lady exclaimed.
"Don't talk about it." The eldest young master stood up and said. "Little Cherry is my lover, I wanted to marry Little Cherry five years ago, but my father, Commander Fang, robbed my woman, this time it's the same, I brought Nan Nan back, and my father is going to do the same, I'm too bad as a son, I want to kill that beast."
"Is Little Cherry Mrs. Fang's name?" Xu Tian asked.
"Yes......" Mrs. Fang said aggrievedly. It's my nickname, I'm from a big family, seven years older than the eldest young master, but since I was a child, I have made a baby with the eldest young master, who knows that my father failed in business, and the family is in the middle, when my father wanted to marry me to the eldest young master, Commander Fang came forward to stop me, and he must marry me. Back then, my father didn't dare to disobey Commander Fang in order to be able to climb the big tree of the Commander, although our whole family knew that this matter was against human morality, but I still endured the pain of being poked in the back to marry Commander Fang. ”
"When did you get married?"
"Five years ago."
"Humph!" The old lady said. "You vixen, don't say yourself so pitiful, after you get married, isn't your life quite nourishing? Why didn't I see that you still have grievances? ”
"You know what?" Mrs. Fang argued. "I don't pretend to be like this, can Commander Fang be happy? If Commander Fang is not happy, what will my whole family do? Now my father still relies on Commander Fang's care to do some small business, although the income is not as good as before, but he can still live, if I don't make Commander Fang happy, what will my family do? ”
"But since you are already married to Commander Fang, you shouldn't have anything to do with his son anymore, I know all about your chaotic relationship." The old lady glared at Mrs. Fang and said.
"I can't help it, because I love the eldest young master, if it weren't for my family, I wouldn't have made such a light appearance in front of that beast!" Mrs. Fang cried.
"So you want to kill that beast too, am I right?" The old lady said.
"Yes, I wanted to kill that beast, after I came back from outside today, I knew that the beast was dead, but I still wanted to go back to the study to see, just now when we faced the corpse of the beast in the study, my heart has been laughing, there is nothing more pleasant than watching the death of this beast. Ha ha...... Hahahaha......" Mrs. Fang said with a wry smile.
"Alright, let's talk about the old butler! When did the old butler come to Fang Mansion? Xu Tian asked.
"Five years ago, probably before this vixen got married." The old lady said.
"Five years ago, too?"
"That's right, I remember very clearly, at that time, that beast must let the old housekeeper live in the Fang Mansion, I think this person is unreliable, but I can't stop it, by the way, at that time, Adjutant Zhao came to the Fang Mansion with the old housekeeper, the old butler was arranged to be in charge of internal affairs in the Fang Mansion, and Adjutant Zhao was arranged to be in charge of foreign affairs next to the beast, right?" The old lady looked at Adjutant Zhao and said.
"You're right." Adjutant Zhao said with a wink.
"Adjutant Zhao also came to the Fang Mansion five years ago?"
"That's right, at that time, Commander Fang was recruiting guards, and I only took up the position of adjutant two years ago."
"Do Adjutant Zhao and the old housekeeper know each other?"
"I don't know, we just happened to come together, I used to be a soldier in the field, and then I went to war, so I left the army and came here to beg for a living, Commander Fang saw that I was pitiful and a little loyal, so he used me."
So many people have something to do with it five years ago, what happened five years ago? Xu Tian felt very puzzled.
