"How is that possible? What went wrong? Isn't that fellow shamelessly trying to marry my Sister Yan? How could he tear up Sister Yan's letter? "
Ping Yang did not understand. She could not understand why Fang Zhengzhi was doing this. Was it because he was exposed? Impossible, he did not even read the letter. How could he be exposed?
Could it be that Fang Zhengzhi did not want to marry Sister Yan?!
This thought flashed past her mind. How could that country bumpkin not want to marry my Sister Yan? That was impossible!
"Oh yes... he tore up Sister Yan's letter. I can tell on him!" Ping Yang's eyes lit up. Then, she leaped towards a small pavilion at the side of the courtyard.
...
Chi Guyan was dressed simply today. She wore a casual dress with a purple belt around her waist.
At this moment, she was studying a map in the pavilion. There were all sorts of formations on it. There were also some lines and engravings. It was clearly an ancient formation blueprint.
There was a huge sand table beside the table. It was filled with sand that looked like a mountain range. There were also flags of various colors on it.
When Ping Yang barged in, she happened to see this scene.
In contrast to her previous excitement, Ping Yang did not make a fuss after entering the pavilion. Instead, she walked quietly to Chi Guyan's side like a docile kitten.
"Sister Yan, are you studying formations again?"
"Yes, you are not playing on the swing outside. Why are you looking for me?" Chi Guyan nodded, her gaze still fixed on the formation blueprint.
"I originally wanted to find someone to accompany you. Unfortunately, I used Sister Yan's name to write a letter to that person, but it was torn up by him. How despicable." Young Lady Yuer pouted, her face full of anger.
"Oh." Chi Guyan nodded again.
"Sister Yan, don't you want to know who tore up your letter?"
"It's your letter!" Chi Guyan quickly corrected Ping Yang's mistake. Then, she flipped the blueprint in her hand. She looked at the sunlight. "Are you talking about Fang Zhengzhi?"
"Big Sister Yan 'er is too smart. You can guess everything right away. Then … will Big Sister Yan' er be angry?" Ping Yang's clear eyes revealed a trace of anticipation.
"I'm not angry. What's there to be angry about?" Chi Guyan shook her head.
"She tore your letter! You're still not angry? If it were me. Then, she divorced him! Oh … no, it's breaking off the engagement. He must break off the engagement immediately, or let him come over and beg me on his knees! "
"First of all, it's your letter. Secondly, it's normal for him to tear my letter. It would be abnormal if he didn't. "Chi Guyan put down the formation blueprint in her hand.
"Ah?! The relationship between the two of you is so complicated? "
"It is indeed very complicated."
"But, I wanted him to attend my birthday party, but he didn't come even after I sent him an invitation. I wrote him a letter using Sister Yan's name, but he still didn't come. I can't just kidnap him and bring him here, can I?" The young girl, Ping Yang, was slightly disappointed. Thinking that the plan she had considered for a long time was going to be ruined, she felt very sad.
"You want him to attend your birthday party?" Chi Guyan finally looked at Ping Yang.
"Yeah."
"Then. Play tricks on him? "
"How is that possible? Why would I do such a thing? I'll treat him like a distinguished guest and let him eat and drink well …" Young Lady Ping Yang blinked her eyes, but the corners of her mouth curled into a cunning smile.
"You want him to attend your birthday party? That's easy."
"Sister Yan, you have an idea?"
"Yes, get someone to send him some money, then tell him that as long as he attends your birthday party, the money will belong to him. Also, he doesn't have to give you any birthday gifts. He will come naturally. "Chi Guyan replied without hesitation.
"That simple?"
"Yes, that simple."
"No way?" Ping Yang was in disbelief. However, this was Chi Guyan's idea. She had no choice but to believe it.
…
Fang Zhengzhi was in disbelief too. Someone would send him money to attend a birthday party, and even say that he didn't want any gifts?
Wasn't this too obvious?
Looking at the 500 silvers banknote in front of him, Fang Zhengzhi felt that if he returned it just like that, it would really hurt the other party's feelings.
He looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.
"No gifts?"
"Yes, definitely no gifts!"
"Let me think about it. If I don't have the time, then forget it. " Fang Zhengzhi kept the five hundred silver notes in his pocket, then waved his hand, indicating that the middle-aged man could leave.
"This … Young Master Fang, how should I reply to my master?" Hearing Fang Zhengzhi's reply, then seeing Fang Zhengzhi keep the money, the middle-aged man was stunned.
"Just say it depends on my mood." Fang Zhengzhi waved him off impatiently.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to come out of seclusion. During the Song Dynasty, eighteen golden tokens were issued to urge Yue Fei to return to the imperial court. How was that enough …
Fang Zhengzhi did not know who this middle-aged man was referring to, but he knew that there must be a reason for him to attend this birthday banquet so many times.
As such, he was in a position to take the initiative. Yan Capital was filled with riches. What he was doing now, was this considered a heroic act of robbing the rich to help the poor?
That's right …
He was the poor!
…
"Depends on his mood?!" Within Ping Yang Residence, Ping Yang raged once again.
Then, she rushed into the attic in the small courtyard. This time, Ping Yang was obviously a little anxious, but the moment she entered the attic, she quickly returned to the expression of a meek kitten.
"That guy said it depends on his mood, depends on his mood … Sister Yan!" Ping Yang's tone was anxious, but she kept her voice low.
"Hmm?" Chi Guyan was puzzled. Fang Zhengzhi should have come, so what was the problem?
After thinking for a while, Chi Guyan understood.
"Looks like I've still underestimated his shamelessness. He's taking advantage of my misfortune and going for a mile after taking an inch …"
"Sister Yan, do you have any other ideas?"
Chi Guyan did not speak. She felt that the best way to deal with this was to give Fang Zhengzhi the cold shoulder, then use other methods.
However, there was a 1% chance of failure. Fang Zhengzhi could act shamelessly in a fit of anger, taking the money but not coming.
"Do you really want him to come?" Chi Guyan decided to ask for Ping Yang's opinion.
"Mm! He has to come at any cost! "
"Then send him again."
"Send him again?"
"Yes, send him until he is satisfied."
"Okay!" Ping Yang nodded, walked out of the loft, and immediately gave the order.
Seeing the middle aged man walk out with the money, Ping Yang clenched her fists. Hmph, I'll let you be happy for now. Once you enter Ping Yang Residence, you will suffer!
…
In the following days, Fang Zhengzhi was very satisfied. Every day, there would be people giving him silver. Furthermore, in order to show their respect, they would actually exchange the silver notes for silver fragments, and carry them back to his inn in boxes.
It was quite a commotion …
To Fang Zhengzhi, these days were very comfortable.
…
However, to the Flame Capital City, this was definitely a shocking event.
Who was Ping Yang?
She was the most infamous demoness in the Flame Capital City. In the entire Flame Capital City, she had always been a robber. When had she ever given money to anyone?
But now …
Everyone saw a strange sight. Every day, the people from Tranquil Sun Residence would carry a chest of silver to the inn where Fang Zhengzhi was staying.
Then, they would leave the box of silver behind and leave.
A small mountain villager had attained the Double Roll Champion consecutively in both the county and capital examinations. Then, he had arranged a duel with Chi Guyan in the Divine Constabulary two years later. Furthermore, the Divine Constabulary had personally announced their engagement.
Then, when he entered the Flame Capital City, the famous tyrant of the Flame Capital City gave him silvers one after another.
Did it have to be so ridiculous …
Everyone felt that this kind of thing was even more unbelievable than a woman who was married and had a child, but said that she was still a virgin.
…
Inside the patrol tent, when King Duan heard this news, he was so shocked that his teeth almost dropped to the ground.
However, his thoughts were much more profound than those in the Flame Capital City. He felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Ping Yang fawned on Fang Zhengzhi?!
That was impossible. However, he could not understand why the arrogant Ping Yang would send money to Fang Zhengzhi.
"What do you think of this?" King Duan looked at Mr Hua and Old Wen.
Elder Wen shook his head. His stratagem was more on the throne, so he really couldn't understand such strange and inexplicable things.
Mr Hua was deep in thought. However, after thinking for a long time, he also felt bitter.
"I sent someone to investigate. It seems that Ping Yang wanted to invite Fang Zhengzhi to her birthday banquet. That is why she kept sending money to Fang Zhengzhi." Mr Hua revealed the truth.
"Ping Yang invited Fang Zhengzhi to her birthday banquet? This … let's not talk about the credibility of this matter. Logically speaking, shouldn't Fang Zhengzhi be the one sending gifts to Ping Yang? Why is it the other way around? "King Duan was even more confused when he heard Mr Hua's words.
"That is why I don't understand. Furthermore, I remember that Fang Zhengzhi sold Ping Yang's Snow Jade. Then, shouldn't there be a grudge between the two of them? However, the act of sending money is an act of friendship. This is rather contradictory. "
