Old Master Fang was also furious.
"How would I know! Qiao 'er must have been immature and offended Ziyan! "
Even at this point, Old Master Fang still insisted that it was all Fang Qiao's fault. He did not feel any sorrow or pity for his own granddaughter's death.
Fang Rao could clearly feel that her father's heart had long been blackened by greed.
The warmth in her eyes plummeted. There was no longer any trace of familial affection.
"What do we do now? I think that kid has gone crazy. What a pity for my Qiao 'er! "
Compared to the cold-blooded and heartless Old Master Fang, Fang Gui was not much better, but at least his heart ached for his daughter's sudden death.
At this moment, his wife, who had always been inconspicuous, suddenly rushed out and hugged his thigh.
"Husband." She did not make a scene, but her eyes were red and swollen from crying. She was so sad that one could not help but feel pity for her.
"Qiao 'er is gone. Please give her a decent home, husband. After all, she's been your father and daughter for fifteen years. Only you can give her this comfort before she leaves. "
"Get up first."
Fang Gui still felt a little guilty towards her.
All these years, she had never fought or fought for anything. She had always treated her husband as her God. She had always been his wife and had never disobeyed him.
Now that her only daughter had passed away, Fang Gui felt that her request was reasonable.
Unexpectedly, Old Master Fang flatly refused.
"No! Qiao 'er died such a disgraceful death. I cannot let the Fang family's reputation be tarnished! "
Even Fang Gui felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.
He shielded his wife behind him. His attitude was already a little unyielding.
"Isn't Qiao 'er's death the fault of this little bastard? Father, you've already sacrificed the life of your own granddaughter for a brat who has no blood relations with you. Isn't that enough? "
However, Old Master Fang merely glanced at him coldly.
"You're muddle-headed! It's precisely because he has no blood relations with us that we have to use someone to trap him! Qiao 'er can only blame herself for not living up to expectations. If she had the same tricks as her aunt, I … "
"Father!"
Fang Rao also spoke at this moment.
But at this moment, she was no longer the weak and pampered girl in front of her father.
Instead, she was the matriarch of the Zhao Family who could still have a place in the family despite all the hardships.
"Back then, you ruined my life in exchange for today's glory. Now, you can sacrifice Qiao 'er without blinking. What about the next one? Will there come a day when all of us can be sacrificed for you? "
The listener has a heart.
Fang Gui had long been dissatisfied with his father's cold-blooded ways.
It wasn't that he valued familial ties, but that the Fang family had always been in the hands of the old man.
Fang Rao's words had truly hit the nail on the head of what he was worried about.
Fang Rao saw that Second Brother's expression had changed, so she added fuel to the fire.
"In your eyes, even if all of us die, the Fang Clan's legacy will not end. We're just bargaining chips in your hands. Since that's the case, why don't you kill us and turn us into obedient puppets? Wouldn't that be better? "
These words were like a wake-up call.
Fang Gui's expression changed completely.
What his little sister said made sense.
Even if he died, there were still others who could inherit the Fang Clan.
This time, the old man had sacrificed his daughter without hesitation. Did that mean that in the old man's heart, he had never valued him?
Once doubts arose, they grew like weeds.
The wildfire would not be able to burn them down, making them anxious.
"Father!
Yes, I think my little sister is right! My daughter died for nothing. I won't let this matter rest! Either you make the decision and let my daughter be buried in the Fang Clan's cemetery, or I'll personally go to the Zhao Family to seek justice. Let's see if the Zhao Family still has any face left! "
"What? Enter the Fang Clan's cemetery? Her? Don't even think about it! "
Old Master Fang instantly flew into a rage.
Not to mention that Fang Qiao's death was not innocent.
Even if she had died of illness, as a girl who had never left home, she had no right to be buried in the Fang Clan's cemetery alone.
Fang Rao's heart trembled. Just as she was about to add fuel to the fire, she saw Second Young Madam, who had been in a daze, suddenly kneel before her man.
"Husband, since Qiao 'er can't be buried by herself, then I'll go accompany our daughter! As her mother, I've wronged her in this life. Let me atone for my sins! "
As she spoke, she was about to get up and bang her head against the wall.
Fortunately, Fang Gui's hand was fast enough, and he pulled her back.
"Nonsense! If you die, won't the next one be me? "
Second Young Madam's actions made Fang Gui even more certain of a reality.
He was definitely not irreplaceable.
His wife, children, and even himself were just pawns in the old man's hands.
The Fang Clan's selfishness was carved into their bones.
Fang Gui hardened his heart.
Instead of sitting and waiting for death, he might as well take over the Fang Clan before the old man sacrificed him!
"Father, I'll give you one last chance! If you still insist on mistreating my daughter, I'll go to the Elders' Council and accuse Zhao Ziyan of harming a girl of the Fang Clan. I'd like to see if his father, who's an Elder, still has any face left! "
As he finished speaking, he hugged his wife, and at the same time, ordered people to carry away his daughter's corpse.
Old Master Fang's expression was extremely ugly.
His Second Young Master had been a bully when he was young.
If he really went against him, then he might really cause trouble for the Zhao Family.
At that time, the Fang Clan would be in even more trouble.
Old Master Fang had no choice but to look at Fang Rao for help.
Seeing that the latter's face was also cold, he couldn't help but be alarmed.
"Fang Rao, you have to help me this time!"
"How can I help you, Father?" she asked calmly.
"Should I help you destroy the corpse, or help you use the Zhao Family's power to suppress people? Don't forget, Zhao Ziyan went crazy on your Fang Clan's territory. "
By saying this, it meant that she didn't intend to interfere.
For the first time, Old Master Fang felt isolated and helpless, but he wasn't willing to let it be like this.
"Don't you want to know about your son?" His eyes were dark, and he no longer maintained his pretentious attitude towards her.
"What? After pretending for so many years, you finally want to say it? "Fang Rao gritted her teeth, but her expression was calm.
Old Master Fang heaved a sigh.
"No matter what, he's still my grandson." As if seeing the disdain in his daughter's eyes, Old Master Fang felt a little embarrassed.
"As long as you help me settle this matter, I'll tell you about Huo Xiao. By the way, you still don't know, right? He's already grown up, and he's even become a bandit leader. "
Fang Rao was shocked.
The aboriginals were ill-informed.
Back then, she had expended a lot of effort to find out about her child's whereabouts.
But she didn't expect that her father actually knew about Huo Xiao.
So all these years, he had actually been monitoring her child?
Did he have something to do with the fact that Xiao 'er was attacked repeatedly?
"That son of yours really inherited the Huo Family's abilities.
It's a pity that his bloodline isn't pure. Otherwise, I really wouldn't bear to let him wander outside. "
Her father's pity made her develop a bad habit.
"He's a child of the Huo Family. It has nothing to do with you," Fang Rao said coldly.
Hearing this, Old Master Fang didn't ask for a rebuff.
"No matter whose child he is, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape."
Fang Rao stared at him.
"What do you want to do to my child?"
"It's not us, it's the Elders' Council." Old Master Fang deliberately kept her in suspense, waiting for her to take the bait.
"Whether we help or not, it's related to that child's life and death."
The father and daughter stared at each other without showing any signs of weakness.
One was cunning, while the other was extremely worried.
"Alright." In the end, her concern for Huo Xiao won out.
Fang Rao spat out coldly.
Old Master Fang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, but he felt as if a huge burden had been lifted from his heart.
He knew that as long as he held the lives of the Huo Family members in his hands, his daughter would have no ability to resist.
Although this knowledge made him very unhappy.
In the end, he still managed to preserve his wealth and glory.
Fang Rao didn't want to waste another word with him.
"I'm going to the Huo Family first to pay my respects. Keep an eye on Zhao Ziyan. If he causes any more trouble this time, even I won't be able to save you! "
She couldn't help but think of the letter she received.
She didn't expect that Gong Ya and the others would also arrive at the Huo Family's old residence.
It was indeed inconvenient for her to do some things.
They were all Huo Xiao's good friends, so they would definitely help her.
Old Master Fang was furious, but he didn't dare to show it.
Fang Rao chased them away and stayed by Zhao Ziyan's side alone.
It was a mess just now. She only asked someone to pull him away, but she didn't ask anyone to clean him up.
"Mother."
His eyes, which had been filled with madness, were now staring at her in a daze.
He sat there obediently. If it weren't for the blood at the corner of his mouth and on his lapel, no one would have guessed that he had just killed an innocent girl.
Fang Rao didn't know what to do with him.
She sighed, picked up a clean towel, and wiped the blood off him bit by bit.
"Mother, have I been a good boy?"
It seemed that Zhao Ziyan would deliberately pretend to be submissive in front of her.
Before she witnessed him kill someone, Fang Rao actually still had a little bit of hope.
After all, he was a child who had been raised by her side since he was a child.
Although she repeatedly restrained herself and did not pour too much emotion into this child, she could not help but feel a bit of love for him from the bottom of her heart.
"You're a good boy, Ziyan. Is it because I usually don't care about you enough that you've become like this?"
At this moment, she couldn't help but feel regret.
If only she hadn't transferred her hatred towards the Zhao family to this child.
If she had loved him more and taught him with all her heart, then he wouldn't have been filled with fear and fear of losing his position as the young master of the Zhao family.
"Mother."
Zhao Ziyan continued to call her name, full of attachment.
After Fang Rao cleaned him up, she made up her mind.
Whether it was the Fang family or the Zhao family, she was the one who made the mistake. She would do her best to correct it.
As for the real sinners, she would never let them off!
