"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form …" Guan Fangyi lowered her head and muttered to herself. She was sad and repeated this sentence.
This sentence also surprised Linghu Qiu and Hong Xiu. The new words made them think about it carefully.
After saying such words, Hong Xiu looked at Niu Youdao differently. She seemed to think highly of him in an instant.
Niu Youdao kept the indenture in his hand and turned around, "There is no one guarding our house. This is a problem. Let's all move here. Hong Xiu, go and inform Hong Fu and Shen Qiu to pack their things and come over. By the way, spread the news that Hong Niang of Fufang Garden has met a true confidant and has taken the initiative to sell herself to me as a slave! "
They were anxious to spread the news overnight. This was striking the iron while it was hot. What was done could not be undone!
Linghu Qiu secretly sighed and the corner of his mouth twitched. He was speechless and very puzzled. How could this work?
Hong Xiu quietly looked at his reaction. Seeing that he had no objection, she bowed and said, "Yes!"
She turned around and did as she was told.
"Boohoo …" Guan Fangyi leaned on the table and cried bitterly. So many years of prosperity were like flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water. In the end, it was all in vain. In the end, she actually sold herself.
Niu Youdao stood under the cornice with his hands behind his back and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, listening to the crying.
Linghu Qiu put his hands on his abdomen and looked left and right.
The people of Fufang Garden were alarmed by Guan Fangyi's crying and appeared in the courtyard one after another. They looked at each other and looked at each other.
They did not see what happened to Guan Fangyi. They did not know why she was crying. Even if she was beaten, it would not be like this. Why was she crying so sadly?
The group of people still did not know what happened.
"Boss, boss, what's wrong with you?" Someone came over and called her a few times. He tried to push her shoulder.
Guan Fangyi was sad. She only cried and did not respond.
Finally, under the signal of Niu Youdao, Guan Fangyi was helped back to rest.
There were no more cries in the courtyard. It was quiet. The bright moon shone brightly in the night sky. Crickets and insects chirped occasionally in the corner of the wall.
Linghu Qiu glanced at the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table that had yet to be taken away. She walked up to Niu Youdao, waved her hand and pointed at the surroundings as she said, "Does this Fufang Garden belong to you from today onwards?"
Niu Youdao: "Maybe!"
Linghu Qiu chuckled and said, "What a great deal!"
"Business without capital?" Niu Youdao tilted his head and glanced at him.
Linghu Qiu teased, "If she doesn't agree, let's see what you'll do."
Niu Youdao: "You think I'm lying to her?"
Linghu Qiu: "Isn't it?"
Niu Youdao smiled but did not explain.
As a matter of fact, after Bu Fang came looking for him, he had gone through the information about the capital that Mount Five Liang had compiled.
Wouldn't it be a pity to have such a great connection with the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Qi Kingdom? Wouldn't it be a waste to waste such a great connection?
After flipping through the information, whether it was the people from the sects or the imperial court, it wasn't convenient for him to make a move. Most importantly, he couldn't be tough here, so he wanted to pick a soft persimmon to pinch. Ordinary loose cultivators were a little less meat. After looking around, Fufang Garden's Matchmaker entered his line of sight.
He had originally planned to meet with Matchmaker and get a feel of her. If it was appropriate, he would look for Bu Xun and ask for her. He reckoned that it wouldn't be difficult to find a way to get Bu Xun to agree. And as long as Bu Xun agreed, people like Matchmaker would have no choice. Not to mention Matchmaker, there were probably not many people in the capital who would dare to go against Bu Xun.
Who would have thought that the situation would be somewhat out of his expectations? There was no need for Bu Xun. With his ability, he could directly take down Matchmaker!
So to a certain extent, he really wasn't lying to Matchmaker. He could really make Fufang Garden completely disappear from the capital with just a word from Bu Xun!
If that wasn't the case, he wouldn't have directly rushed to Fufang Garden.
"Do you still remember the location of the private room where you and Wei Qiu had a secret discussion?" Niu Youdao asked.
Linghu Qiu frowned and nodded. "I remember! She has already submitted to you, so is this still important? I say, what's so good about this woman? She's so messy. Can you rest assured with such a person by your side? "
Niu Youdao: "For a woman to have so many people by her side for so many years in this troublesome place, it shows that this person has some good points."
Linghu Qiu: "Just because of this?"
Niu Youdao: "Isn't this enough? Messy or not, good or bad, it doesn't matter. To me, there are no absolute good people in this world, nor are there absolute bad people. I think I'm white, but everyone thinks I'm black. Who can I go to reason with? You and I both have black and white eyes, but the black and white are still in the same eye socket. Can you dig out the white, or can you dig out the black? So, there's no need to talk about right and wrong. Being too calculative will only make things difficult for yourself. I'm used to dealing with messy people, so I feel at ease dealing with this kind of person. At least I know what's bad about her. When a gentleman is bad, it's hard to guard against him! "
Linghu Qiu laughed. "That's a fresh reason."
Niu Youdao: "If this reason isn't enough, then I'll change it. You have Hong Xiu and Hong Fu by your side. I'm thinking that I should also have someone with the word 'Hong'."
"…" This reason made Linghu Qiu speechless.
In the exquisite courtyard, Guan Fangyi had already stopped crying. She came out of the house and stood on the steps under the eaves with a disappointed look. She was explaining to a group of subordinates who had followed her for many years why she was crying. Otherwise, no one would know what had happened.
Everyone was shocked to learn that their boss had become a slave.
However, no matter how they asked, Guan Fangyi refused to tell them the specific reason. Some things were not suitable to be announced to the public.
"I don't have a choice, but everyone has a choice. It's up to you to stay or leave …"
Shen Qiu was the first to arrive at Fufang Garden. As for Hong Xiu and Hong Fu, they still had to help Niu Youdao spread the news.
By the time Hong Xiu and Hong Fu returned to Fufang Garden, the sky was already bright.
Fufang Garden was already occupied with their own matters. Guan Fangyi had not yet entered the state of being a slave and had not yet realized it. Thus, no one had arranged for Niu Youdao's side.
The few of them found a room to stay in.
In a room, Hong Xiu and Hong Fu quickly tidied up.
Linghu Qiu opened the window and looked at the sky. He sighed. "Don't tidy up anymore. The sky is bright."
The two women looked at each other and stopped. Hong Xiu came to his side and asked, "Sir, I still don't understand. Why did Hong Niang sell herself so easily?"
Linghu Qiu laughed and shook his head. "Sell what? She just didn't have a choice."
Hong Xiu: "Why didn't she have a choice? Did Niu Youdao dare to use force in the capital? "
Linghu Qiu: "Did you forget Niu Laosan's question? Guan Fangyi's delay in returning aroused Niu Laosan's suspicion. Just like what Niu Laosan said, Guan Fangyi did not return at night to avoid me, but Niu Laosan. "
"The two of us have never met before and have no enmity with each other. Fufang Garden is Guan Fangyi's territory. What is Guan Fangyi afraid of avoiding him? Guan Fangyi's actions immediately aroused Niu Laosan's vigilance. Combined with the current situation, Niu Laosan reacted very quickly. He immediately asked me if Guan Fangyi knew the content of my conversation with Wei Chu. "
"It is not difficult to understand his suspicion. Other than this matter, what else could make Guan Fangyi afraid of him? Niu Laosan suspected that Guan Fangyi already knew, so he decisively used an hour to threaten her. He was testing her. The reason is very simple. If Guan Fangyi really knew about it and knew that Bu Xun personally came to look for him, Niu Laosan. Niu Laosan dared to say that he wanted Fufang Garden to completely disappear from Qi Capital. If Guan Fangyi knew about it, how could she not be afraid? "
"In the end, Guan Fangyi, who had been avoiding him, quickly ran back. As expected, she came back obediently within two hours. If she could come back, it was not only because she knew about it, but also because she had a guilty conscience and lacked confidence. She obtained the content of the conversation through unusual means. It was not from Bu Xun or the Jin Wangfu. If she had the backing of those two sides, there was no need for her to be afraid. Niu Laosan's threat was also useless against her. There should be something wrong with the room where I talked to Wei Chu! "
"You saw what happened afterward. Niu Laosan acted decisively and wrote a contract to sell himself to her. It was good to be forceful. He forced her to have no way out and took her down with lightning speed. Then, he asked you to immediately spread the news. When someone came to confirm it, the muddle-headed Guan Fangyi admitted it, and the rice was cooked. She admitted it herself, and everyone knew it. The matter was confirmed. Even if she could understand it afterward, hehe … That Niu Laosan was really good at playing tricks. Guan Fangyi, Guan Fangyi. She was too clever for her own good. If she didn't hide, Niu Laosan might not have succeeded so easily! "
After listening, Hong Xiu understood. Thinking about the situation at that time, she said with a chill, "This man is very scary. Was it an illusion that he was forced into a corner by Emperor Qi?"
"Not necessarily. The Vast Cloud Diagram could attack him, but he couldn't attack the Vast Cloud Diagram. Once the Vast Cloud Diagram attacked, things were out of his control. They were not on the same level at all. He could only be beaten passively. It was not easy for him to survive."
Linghu Qiu said and looked around, "This guy is indeed a bit dangerous. Think about it carefully. We didn't reveal any flaws along the way, did we?"
The two women looked at each other, and Hong Fu said calmly, "There shouldn't be anything. If there was, I'm afraid I would have found a way to get rid of you. How could I let the knife be on my neck all the time? Moreover, I wouldn't let you participate in this kind of secret matter."
Linghu Qiu let out a breath and said, "You two, be careful in everything in the future. You must be cautious!"
In the palace, after the morning court, the Vast Cloud Diagram returned to the imperial study and took off his clothes.
After changing into his casual clothes, the eunuchs left. Bu Xunfang said with a smile, "This morning, something interesting happened outside the palace."
The Vast Cloud Diagram walked to the side of the desk. "What can make you say something interesting?"
Bu Xun said, "The matchmaker of Fufang Garden refused guests this morning and officially announced to the public that she has retired."
The Vast Cloud Diagram was silent. When he was young, it was when Guan Fangyi's beauty spread far and wide. He also watched her in disguise. She was truly a peerless beauty. He also wanted to get intimate with her, but due to some fear, he restrained his desire.
Now thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. After sitting down, he reached out and picked up the teacup. "You quit? Did you find a better home?"
Bu Xun bowed and said, "I followed Niu Youdao!"
