Seeing that Fang Rao had finally reacted as she had expected, Fang Mudan felt more confident.
She raised her thumb and middle finger and straightened her posture, sweeping away all the humiliation she had suffered in front of Fang Rao.
Her eyes scanned Fang Rao from top to bottom, and she couldn't help but linger on the jade bracelet on her wrist.
"Ah, I came out in a hurry today, and I feel like I forgot to bring something."
She deliberately twisted her wrist in front of Fang Rao, her eyes full of provocation.
How could Fang Rao not understand what he meant?
She immediately took off her bracelet and handed it to Aunt Lan beside her.
"Madam, this is …"
Aunt Lan frowned, her face full of disapproval. She clutched Aunt Fang's bracelet, not wanting to give it to her.
This was the madam's dowry, and most importantly, it was the old madam's legacy.
"Forget it, give it to her."
Compared to her mother's legacy, she was more worried about Huo Shujiang's safety.
No matter how precious the bracelet was, it was still a dead object. Moreover, she believed that even if the dead knew about it, they wouldn't blame her.
Aunt Lan was furious, but she still walked over reluctantly and put the bracelet on Fang Mudan's wrist.
Who knew that the person would come up with something else?
"Your rough hands and feet are going to hurt me. Sister, why don't you help me put it on?"
Fang Mudan evaded Aunt Lan's hand with bad intentions, and looked at Fang Rao with a faint smile.
Fang Rao knew that the other was deliberately making things difficult for her.
However, after experiencing so many things, she no longer cared about these false reputations.
As long as her child and husband were safe, she would do it even if she had to kneel and kowtow to someone.
Fang Mudan's vanity was greatly satisfied.
Finally! She finally lived like a noble madam in front of Fang Rao, instead of being a pitiful person who could only flatter her and wag her tail for pity!
The jade bracelet's color was rich and translucent, and it was rare to find good stuff outside.
She couldn't help but admire the sparkling and translucent bracelet on her wrist. "No, I'm just praising myself as an older sister. Normal people can't suppress this thing."
She glanced at Fang Rao again and continued to show off.
"Young people like you, you can wear more gold and jade things. Such a stable color is more suitable for me."
Aunt Lan's expression darkened. She felt indignant for her master.
Who didn't know that ordinary gold jade couldn't compare to this kind of jade from an old pit?
Fang Mudan said this because she wanted to use the bracelet to suppress her Miss.
Fang Rao did not care about this kind of argument. She gave Aunt Lan a warning glance and told her not to start a conflict over such a trivial matter.
After all, she was the one asking for help.
"Can you tell me now?" Fang Rao asked, suppressing her worry.
Fang Mudan felt that she had shown off enough. The bracelet was already in her hands, and Fang Rao was already under her feet. Naturally, she was in a good mood.
"Actually, this matter was caused by your man himself." Fang Mudan touched the bracelet happily and said, "I heard that he had an accident when he was taking care of the Elders Council shop …"
She paused, then said condescendingly, "If you ask me, your man really doesn't know how to behave. This kind of thing to reap benefits naturally requires everyone to work together. That's why someone doesn't like him and wants to teach him a lesson."
"Go back and tell him. Even if he can't trust outsiders, can he not trust his own family?"
Afraid that Fang Rao would continue to pretend to be confused, Fang Mudan almost couldn't wait to "remind" her. "A few days ago, your brother-in-law even mentioned your man's matter to me. He said that if he had a few trustworthy shopkeepers, this matter wouldn't have become so big."
It would have been better if Fang Mudan hadn't mentioned this matter. Now that she had, Fang Rao was actually less worried.
Previously, her heart had been like dead ashes. Indeed, she hadn't been in the mood to care about "Zhao Yixuan."
However, just because she didn't care didn't mean that others wouldn't care.
At the time, everyone knew that she and "Zhao Yixuan" were a pair of bitter lovers who shared the same bed but dreamed different dreams. Thus, there would always be those people who would send information about "Zhao Yixuan" to her for various reasons.
At the time, she already knew that those people didn't have good intentions, so she resolutely refused to be fooled.
Now, it seemed that this group of people had some uses.
At the very least, they wouldn't make her worry too much.
"Oh." Fang Rao's attitude was clearly a bit cold. "That's ultimately his own business. I don't really care about men's matters outside. If my cousin-in-law also wants to be a shopkeeper in a shop, then it would be better to have him talk to Zhao Yixuan himself."
"What kind of attitude is this?" Fang Mudan slammed the table heavily. She was just short of pointing at Fang Rao's nose and scolding her.
"If it weren't for my sake, why would your brother-in-law bother with such a small matter? Ah Rao, so many years have passed, but you're still so muddle-headed! "
"Back then, the man you married couldn't protect his enormous family business because he didn't have anyone to protect him, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Fang Rao's eyes turned red.
She fiercely grabbed her cousin's wrist and sternly asked, "Could it be that you also know why the Huo family was exterminated back then?"
Fang Mudan was stunned by her question. She realized that she had said something indiscreet, so she rolled her eyes and wanted to change the subject.
"I- I just said it casually. Moreover, it's not like you don't know how many people coveted the Huo family back then."
But Fang Rao didn't believe her.
It could be said that ever since she found out about the tragedy of the Huo family being exterminated and understood the reason why her son had distanced himself from her all these years, she no longer believed any of these so-called family friends.
"You don't know?" Fang Rao narrowed her eyes and continued to exert more force.
"I remember now. Back then, before I was engaged to Huo Shujiang, you and Eldest Uncle also wanted to replace me and marry into the Huo family."
"If you really didn't have any designs on the Huo family, why would you and Eldest Uncle be so shameless?"
Fang Mudan was instantly annoyed that Fang Rao had poked at her sore spot back then. She pushed Fang Rao away and rubbed her wrist angrily.
"Pfft! Don't accuse a good person without any evidence! The Huo family only has some stinky money. Why would I want them? "
But in reality, not only did Fang Mudan have feelings for Huo Shujiang, but she had even shamelessly recommended herself to sleep with him.
What was hateful was that Huo Shujiang had actually chased her away when she had offered herself for nothing!
From then on, she thoroughly hated Fang Rao and that fellow who didn't know how to appreciate kindness.
Now, she felt even more certain that she had made the right choice back then.
It was just that Fang Rao's luck was too good. After Huo Shujiang was gone, Zhao Yixuan, who was completely obedient to her, came along.
She gritted her teeth hatefully and stabbed Fang Rao's heart without any hesitation. "Younger sister, I advise you to think about your days in the Zhao family instead of thinking about the dead people in the Huo family!"
"Also, the little bastard you gave birth to for the Huo family probably hates you to death already. If I were you, I'd think about how to protect everything I own when I'm old and withered! "
"What right do you have to mention my child?"
Fang Rao's eyes grew redder and redder.
She could tolerate anything, but she would never allow anyone to scold her child!
Fang Mudan couldn't help but feel a little afraid when she saw Fang Rao's ugly expression.
But she still stubbornly refused to admit her mistake. She craned her neck and challenged Fang Rao, "So what if I just said a few words? Don't forget, you're now the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family. If they find out that you're still thinking about that child, let's see if the Zhao family can still tolerate you! "
Fang Rao was so angry that she reached out to tear Fang Mudan's foul mouth apart.
But she didn't expect her hand to be caught by another slender little hand. Then, with a loud slap, five bright red fingerprints appeared on Fang Mudan's face.
"You, you actually dared to hit me!" Fang Mudan covered her face and trembled with anger as she pointed at the woman in front of her.
"So what if I hit you? Don't tell me you dare to hit me back? "
So arrogant? It was obvious that these words came from Lin Mengya.
She glanced coldly at Fang Mudan, then turned around and completely hid Aunt Fang behind her.
She really didn't want to intervene before, but she couldn't let Fang Mudan continue to hurt Aunt Fang's feelings with her words.
"You little —" Before the rest of her words could leave her mouth, Fang Mudan's left and right cheeks were slapped twice.
Baisu and Cai Ru tacitly held each other on the left and right, letting their master slap her to her heart's content.
Fang Mudan was mad with anger, and at the same time, she hated the person in front of her.
But the slap on her face was too painful. After meeting Lin Mengya's cold warning gaze, she actually felt her heart palpitate.
But she also felt that she had someone backing her up. The other party couldn't, couldn't they kill her?
Unexpectedly, she saw Lin Mengya's means in the next moment.
"Strip her clothes, then find someone with a figure similar to hers and send her out."
At Lin Mengya's order, Fang Mudan was still in a daze at first. It was not until she saw that her coat was put on by a woman with a figure that was seventy to eighty percent similar to hers that she regretted it.
"Boohoo …"
She wanted to shout and even wanted to ask for help to attract the attention of the people outside.
However, Baisu had already gagged her mouth with a piece of rag.
Now, she could only watch helplessly as the woman who impersonated her walked out of the door.
All kinds of unreliable guesses made her feel cold.
Her eyes were filled with despair. Could it be that she would really die here?
But in fact, Lin Mengya just wanted to teach her a lesson without getting herself into trouble.
After all, the people outside had seen that "Fang Mudan" walked out of the Zhao Mansion unscathed.
In this way, no matter what happened to her, it was just an "accident" and had nothing to do with them.
Not only was she sarcastic … no, smart, she was the smart one!
This time, she not only vented her anger, but also made others unable to complain even if they had to suffer.
Soon, Baisu and Cai Ru tied Fang Mudan up.
Although the people in the courtyard were trustworthy, they were all peace-loving people and had never seen any bloody scenes before.
Therefore, Lin Mengya just ordered someone to throw Fang Mudan into the room to wait for her punishment.
Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw that everyone was stretching their necks and seemed to be quite interested.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows. "Play."
They looked at each other. In the next moment, the courtyard became lively again. No matter how Fang Mudan screamed, no one would hear it.
