Neighbors on the left and right, Lord Yang, who unfortunately lived in the middle, could no longer sit still. He immediately brought Gu Zhuting with him to the mansion that was currently under construction.
Yang Fan did not ride a horse, but rode an ox cart. He finally understood that even someone as valiant as the Great Assassin Gu was still a weakling on the bed who could not bear to be killed. Given her delicate and powerless appearance, how could he let her ride a horse?
When he brought her out of the estate, Yang Fan had been worried that the three Gu brothers would notice something was off, but he had still braced himself and brought Gu Zhuting. Gu Zhuting was currently his personal guard, and although he had repeatedly emphasized that he had recovered from his injuries, his subordinates did not think so. If he did not bring Gu Zhuting with him on this journey, it would only arouse the suspicion of others.
But it seemed that the three Gu brothers were quite careless. They had not even noticed the strange change in the girl's body. This allowed Yang Fan to inwardly sigh in relief, laughing at his own lack of confidence.
The land around Yang Fan's new estate had already been delineated by the Ministry of Works, and a few low-ranking officials were currently conducting detailed measurements. By the time Yang Fan arrived, the five sons of the Prince of Xiang were already gone. The land they had set their eyes on had been forcefully taken away by Wu Chongxun. No matter how good their mentality was, they still felt humiliated and found it embarrassing to remain here. However, to the left of Yang Fan's estate, Wu Chongxun and his wife were still standing there.
Wu Chongxun had never dared to say too much about the affairs of the clan, leaving everything to Princess Anle. The area that Princess Anle had initially delineated was the size of three princely estates, far exceeding the standard of a princess's estate. Xiao Zhichen was helpless, so he could only beat around the bush and give her a warning, mentioning the emperor to Princess Anle.
Their estate had been granted by the emperor, and the cost of construction had to be reported to the emperor. If the estate was too large, it would definitely be discovered by the empress. Although Princess An Le did not understand why the Empress was treating her coldly by the day, she knew that she was no longer favored by her grandmother, so she exercised some restraint and shrunk the size of the manor by half.
When Yang Fan arrived, Princess Anle was gesticulating to Xiao Zhichen about the issues that needed attention during the construction of the mansion. When she saw Yang Fan arrive, Princess Anle instructed the puppet-like Wu Chong, "You, tell him. Remember, this garden must be the same as the one in Luoyang."
One of the reasons Yang Fan had come was because of the Prince of Xiang's Five Sons. When the Prince of Xiang's Fifth Son had arrived in the capital, he had not gone to welcome him. Now that the Prince of Xiang had run over to be his neighbor, he found it difficult to avoid meeting him. The other reason was because of Li Guo'er. Li Guo'er had always been domineering, and in the eastern market, he had once again refused to give Li Guo'er face, resulting in a feud between the two. He was worried that this princess would become arrogant and not only drive away the Prince of Xiang's Fifth Son, but also encroach on his estate.
Fortunately, although Li Guo'er was domineering, she was primarily relying on the power of her husband's family. If she only relied on her father, who was the Crown Prince, she would not even have the confidence to face off against some of the more powerful ministers, much less Yang Fan. For this reason, although she was willful, she did not dare to forcefully seize a private residence.
Yang Fan already knew that the place to the right of his estate was the place chosen by the Prince of Xiang's Fifth Son, but when he arrived, he did not see Li Chengqi and his brothers. Yang Fan frowned, hesitating over whether he should go see Wu Chong Xun or pretend not to know that he was in that group of people, when he saw Li Guo'er walking toward him.
Yang Fan patted Gu Zhuting's knee and got off the carriage alone. At this moment, Yang Fan had a relatively deep understanding of Li Guo'er. Not only was this woman licentious and shameless, she did not even have the basic cultivation and elegance of a member of the royal family. He was afraid that Li Guo'er would insult Gu Zhuting again, so he did not want them to come into contact.
Wu Chong Xun saw that his beloved wife had abandoned him to go see Yang Fan alone and was very displeased. He regarded Li Guo'er as unparalleled in the world and treated her like a treasure. He thought that all the men in the world, like him, treated Li Guo'er like a living treasure. It seemed that if Li Guo'er beckoned with her finger, he would crawl under her skirt like a dog.
However, because in the eastern market of Chang'an, Yang Fan had publicly refused to give Li Guo'er face, although Wu Chong Xun was displeased, he did not think too much about it.
Li Guo'er walked closer and gradually slowed down her pace. She put her hands behind her back and walked gracefully like a cat, swaying along the way. Yang Fan saw this and had to admit that in terms of appearance, An Le was indeed the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life.
Li Guo'er wore a charming smile that could turn all living things upside down and said, "General Yang, we will be neighbors from now on."
Yang Fan's face darkened and said, "That's really unfortunate!"
Li Guo'er's face changed and she said angrily, "Did I ask you to avoid me like a snake or a scorpion? Why did you humiliate me again and again? "
Yang Fan said, "People will humiliate themselves and their descendants will humiliate them! Your Highness, why don't you reflect on why I have been disrespectful to the princess? "
Li Guo'er glanced coldly at Gu Zhuting in the carriage and sneered, "Just because of her? That bitch? "
Yang Fan said in a deep voice, "Don't forget, if it wasn't for her, you wouldn't be here today and your father would be long dead! She is the savior of your family. "
Li Guo'er raised her curvy chin and sneered disdainfully, "All the land under the sky belongs to the king, and all the people who live on the land are the king's subjects! My father has been designated as the Emperor's heir, and you, as the courtiers, should sacrifice your own lives to save him. I am the Emperor's daughter, and you saving me is also a sign of loyalty. Do you want me to owe her a favor? "
Yang Fan looked at her deeply and said with a face full of hatred, "How did you become like this?"
Li Guo'er said sweetly, "How did I become like this? I don't find any difference from before. Oh, if there is anything, it is that I am more beautiful than before. Clothes make the man and saddle make the horse. Even if you're born beautiful, you still need gorgeous clothes and jewelry to make you more beautiful. "
Yang Fan was not angry because of her words. He asked lightly, "Have you seen the moat outside Chang's City?"
Li Guo'er did not know why he suddenly changed the topic. After a moment of surprise, she said, "Yes, why?"
Yang Fan said, "Do you think the moat is beautiful?"
Li Guo'er frowned and said, "When I entered the city, I saw that the moat had dried up, and the bank was full of mud. It was dirty. What was there to see?"
Yang Fan smiled and said, "It was autumn last year when I rushed over from Luoyang. It was a refreshing autumn day, and the river was clear and blue. When the wind blew, it sparkled. There were also white clouds reflected on the water surface. It was very beautiful. Unfortunately, in order to widen the river and clean up the mud, the Chang's Local Government has cut off the river. I did not expect that when the layer of clear water was uncovered, it was so dirty underneath. "
Li Guo'er's pretty face slowly changed color, but Yang Fan was still saying, "When the silt is removed, the bottom is even more filthy. The stench makes it hard for people to breathe. Just like you, Your Highness, when you were in Fang Zhou, even if you were pretending, at least you still had a bit of fake cuteness.
But now? You have identity and status, you are more and more unscrupulous, and your true nature is undoubtedly exposed. I really don't understand why God gave a person such a beautiful appearance, but gave her such a dirty heart, vulgar, shallow, perverse, selfish, lascivious, shameless … "
Li Guo'er said angrily, "Yang Fan, that's enough!"
Yang Fan sneered and continued, "I don't know what you will become when your father becomes the emperor and you can be more unscrupulous. Some people say that you are the most beautiful princess since the founding of the Tang dynasty. But if you don't repent, one day, you will also become the ugliest princess since the founding of the Tang dynasty! "
"Stop!"
Li Guo'er scolded, Yang Fan stopped in his tracks, but he did not turn back, he only said coldly, "Dare I ask what is the matter, Your Highness?"
Li Guo'er's sharp nails pierced the palm of her hand, and she controlled the anger in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said, "As long as I want, no man will be unwilling to crawl under my feet. Yang Fan, you are no exception! You will kneel under my feet like a dog, wagging your tail to me, begging me to forgive you! Begging me … "
Yang Fan slowly turned around with a mocking sneer on his face. He said mockingly, "Like I said, if the clear water is removed, what is revealed is the filthy silt. Only by digging up the filthy silt can one smell the nauseating stench. Some things always need to be uncovered layer by layer. Just like Your Highness, I should now add another virtue to you: 'arrogance'! "
Yang Fan laughed and left. Li Guo'er looked at his back and gritted her teeth. Her pretty face had two fierce scars, and her eyes were burning as if they were going to spit out a flame and burn him to ashes!
She had never been called such a cheap person before, even when she was doing something very cheap. But when she became a princess again, there was someone who called her so unbearably.
Wu Chongxun had been staring at her from afar, as if his beautiful wife was being taken advantage of. When Li Guo'er angrily walked towards him, he turned around and pretended to warn Xiao Yuanwai.
Li Guo'er walked to his side with a calm face and said, "You still haven't finished?"
Wu Chongxun smiled and said, "Not yet, soon, soon …"
Li Guo'er vented all the anger she suffered from Yang Fan on him, and angrily said, "Really a useless piece of trash! I gave you such a simple task and you can't even do it properly! "
Wu Chongxun hurriedly said, "Wife, where are you going?"
Li Guo'er turned around and angrily shouted, "I'm going back to the fu. What? You useless thing, do you only know how to follow behind a woman? You better obediently stay here. Every blade of grass and tree of this courtyard has to be arranged like the manor in Luoyang. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you responsible! "
Wu Chongxun did not dare to chase after her. When he saw Li Guo'er angrily board the carriage and leave, he unhappily turned around.
Xiao Zhichen, the vice minister of the Ministry of Works, quickly put away the smile on his face and pretended to be respectful as he raised his brush and said, "Royal Prince, please continue."
Wu Chongxun vented all the anger he suffered from Li Guo'er on Xiao Yuanwai. His spittle flew as he said, "You piece of trash, you still can't understand such a simple matter! Quickly send a letter to the Ministry of Works in Luoyang and tell them to go to my residence and draw a map of the back garden. Bring it over and build the same. If there is any mistake, this prince will hold you responsible! " Wu Chongxun finished speaking and left in a huff. He did not dare to return to the fu immediately, afraid that he would be scolded by Li Guo'er again. He could only walk around and relax.
Li Guo'er sat in the carriage and was about to leave Long Qing Lane when she suddenly poked her head out of the carriage. She stared at the small island in the middle of the lake and a malicious smile slowly appeared in the corner of her eyes. She had changed her mind. She wanted Yang Fan to die. She must kill Yang Fan, immediately!
