Chapter 5

Just as Fan Fei and the old lady were talking about Jueying, Fan Xian came late to plead guilty.No matter how good or delicious the food is, how can it be worth the warmth of a family?But when the three of them came to the table, Fan Fei, who smelled something strange, and Fan Xian, who saw the bamboo shoots, both looked ugly and gloomy.Everyone sat down in their respective positions. Fan Fei picked up the fresh and delicious bamboo shoots in front of the old lady and delivered them to Fan Xian without hesitation.

"Grandma, although this fresh bamboo shoot is crisp and refreshing, it doesn't matter how old you are. It's not easy to digest after meals, so you won't be able to sleep well at night. Why don't you give the fresh bamboo shoots to Xiaoxian? Anyway, he has good teeth and will have no problem eating anything. "

How could such an old lady not see something wrong with her?Now that Fan Fei has opened his mouth, I guess it's not a big problem.Moreover, Fan Xian's reaction just proved her suspicion.When Fan Xian heard what his eldest brother said, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth." His eldest brother couldn't even bear the edge of a knife when he opened his mouth.

"Yes! Grandma, just leave this plate of fresh bamboo shoots to me."

After eating the fresh bamboo shoots, Fan Xian left hastily.Fan Fei put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and said to Jueying, who was holding the Jueying Knife beside him: "Ying'er will follow the second master to see the excitement."

After waving his hand, the attendants of the Fan Mansion entered the house. Fan Fei pointed at Butler Zhou's family and said, "Take this person down. After grandma and I have finished eating, we can have a good talk."

Since the appearance of the song "Danzhou Fan Lang", Fan Fei has already become famous far and wide, and his reputation spread throughout Daqing.The old lady won't come forward for many things, and Fan Fei will handle them all by himself.The three attendants did not hesitate to take down Butler Zhou who was struggling and begging for mercy.After being tied up, they were afraid that it would disturb Fan Fei and the old lady's appetite, so they blocked Housekeeper Zhou's mouth with a cloth.

The old lady looked on with cold eyes, did not ask any questions, and ate her meal happily.After all, the day of farewell is just around the corner, and the reunion dinner means one meal, not one less.

A stupid person is not as important as eating with his grandson.

While Fan Fei was having dinner with his grandma, Fan Xian solved the problem of bamboo shoot poisoning in Fan's house.He hurriedly left Fan Mansion and, under the leadership of Jueying, first stopped the red-armored cavalry in action.Then he headed towards the home where the food was delivered, and met Teng Zijing, who was ready to attack and received a secret order from the Overwatch Council to kill Fan Xian.

Jueying has long been entrusted by Fan Fei not to take action without threatening Fan Xian's life.While watching the excitement with the Jueying Knife in my arms, I also heard many interesting things.Since no decisive measures were used, there was naturally room for change in Teng Zijing's matter, not to mention that the matter itself was a misunderstanding.

Fan Xian just returned to Fan Mansion and looked at his eldest brother who was quietly accompanying his grandma to dinner.He couldn't help but rolled his eyes again, and sat down quietly to wait.After the servants finished cleaning up, Fan Fei motioned to Fan Xian to help his grandma sit down. He stood up and stared at Butler Zhou with a stern face and said, "You are an old man in the Fan family. You have no merit but hard work. You are so domineering and disgraceful to the lintel of the Fan family. I Bear it."

"You pretended to be a bully and bullied the servants, and I tolerated it. Even if you enriched your own pockets and deducted money, I didn't pursue it. Now you are trying to deceive the master by using yourself as a slave, and communicate with outsiders to harm the Fan family. I can't tolerate your vicious and harmful thoughts. No. I won’t kill anyone, but you can’t live a comfortable life either.”

The matter was there, and Butler Zhou had no choice but to deny it.His face, which was originally lifeless and gloomy, became very happy to hear that he didn't have to die to apologize.But before he could become happy, all his souls and souls dispersed when he heard Fan Fei's words.

"If you cut off your feet and legs, you will be a beggar for the rest of your life. Don't worry, Fan Mansion will not let you starve to death and will leave you some leftovers every day."

Fan Fei said the sharpest and coldest words in the calmest tone.Warm as spring appearance, cruel and cruel methods.It not only gave hope of survival, but also made Butler Zhou's life worse than death: "Others searched the room, and you divided all the stolen money."

Fan Fei turned around and saluted the old lady: "Grandma, do you think this is appropriate for my grandson to handle?"

"Just do as you say."

"Brother, is this too cruel?"

Fan Xian's words made Fan Fei's anger surface.There are not many things that can arouse his emotions nowadays, and Fan Xian, as a relative and blood brother, happens to be one of them: "Xiao Xian, can you not be so naive? This person has such vicious thoughts. It's okay that we are here now, what if we are not here?" ?Grandma is not as capable as you, how can you bear to see her suffer?"

"Teng Zijing still has a conscience. You can guarantee that everyone will have this kindness in the future. Could it be that your kindness and kindness are all based on the pain of your loved ones? As long as you betray once, there will be countless times in the future. Don’t you understand this?”

Fan Xian is not a reckless person who never looks back until he hits the wall. After hearing Fan Fei's irrefutable words, he abandoned all his good intentions.Seeing that no one was speaking, the servant dragged Housekeeper Zhou off, who was still begging for mercy.

The old lady stood up slowly with the help of Fan Xian, holding on to the crutches, and said to the brothers who had completely different personalities: "Steward Zhou is Liu Ruyu's son, and she has a lot to do with the inner ghosts and foreign enemies. You brothers have been involved in assassinations since you were young. Grow up, Xiaofei, what do you think?"

"Grandma, Aunt Liu is from the Fan family, and the Fan family will not taint the blood of her own family. Third brother Sizhe is just like Xiaoxian in my heart. Aunt Liu treats me the same way, and I treat her the same way. I will explain to her It’s clear that if she really doesn’t know what’s good for her and insists on being entangled with Xiaofei, Xiaofei will tell her father clearly where she came from and where she should go back. If she insists on killing me, then she will be imprisoned at home.”

"Okay, good point. The Fan family will not be stained with the blood of my own family. You have indeed not forgotten your original intention. I hope you will remember the eight words you once said to me in the future."

Fan Xian knelt on the ground and said to the old lady, "Remember, I will also remind you that only when the family is harmonious can everything prosper."

"Okay, the grandson I have trained will never be weaker than anyone else in the world. Take good care of yourself and go to Kyoto with the red-armored cavalry tomorrow."

The old lady looked lonely, a little sad, and waved her brother to leave.But as soon as he left the courtyard, Fan Xian couldn't help but ask the elder brother beside him: "Why did grandma let go? She never liked us going to Kyoto."

Fan Fei looked a little unbearable, and his originally calm mood was shattered in an instant: "Grandma wants to stop it, but she knows she can't. Let the red-armored cavalry kneel, just to express their attitude. I believe you can see this. Even if No matter how stubborn she is, we will eventually go to Kyoto, just like my attitude when I said goodbye to my third sister."

"That's right! Grandma has also experienced the ups and downs of the world, and her character is particularly firm and cruel. My eldest brother is really like grandma, cutting through the knot with a quick knife, and the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain." Fan Xian thought of Teng Zijing and said with a headache. : "Brother, those people from the Overwatch Council are still in my yard."

"Let's go! Go and see."

Teng Zijing had only been in the Supervisory Yuan for a few years, and he had been performing undercover assassination missions.After years of hardships, the aura of uprightness and recklessness has been worn away a lot.He had also heard about Danzhou Fan Lang's reputation, and when he saw Fan Fei and Fan Xian walking hand in hand, he immediately raised his hands and saluted.

"The matter must have been clarified, and these misunderstandings are over. Now that your identity has been exposed, we will go to Kyoto with our brothers tomorrow."

Teng Zijing wanted to say something, but Fan Fei continued: "I know what you are going to say, and I have roughly guessed your plan. Have you ever thought about falsely passing on the secret assassination order to assassinate Tisi of the Supervisory Yuan. Secretly? What kind of background and noble status does the person who controls everything have?"

"The plan you planned is simply a joke. It's not as practical as being honest. Sometimes it's better to remain unchanged in response to changes. Have you forgotten that Xiaoxian is a supervisor of the Supervisory Yuan. Besides, the secret assassination order is here, you There is nothing wrong with following orders."

"Don't you think that Sir Fan's illegitimate son and the chief supervisor of the Overwatch Council can't protect you?"

Fan Fei is famous for his resourcefulness, good judgment, and erudition.This in-depth and simple analysis left Teng Zijing speechless and accepted Fan Fei's proposal with peace of mind.After asking the attendant to arrange for Teng Zijing to rest, Fan Fei turned to Fan Xian and said, "We grew up by grandma's side, and now we leave at the same time, grandma will definitely not feel good about it."

"You clean up well. I will stay with grandma tonight. Come back tomorrow to say hello!"

Fan Xian changed from his usual relaxed mood and saluted Fan Fei respectfully: "Thank you tonight, brother, I don't feel this way before. I will leave Danzhou tomorrow, and now I truly understand that all these years I have only been enjoying myself and ignoring grandma's feelings and warmth. Okay. Now that I have a big brother who fulfills my filial piety, Xiaoxian feels guilty without realizing it."

Fan Fei patted Fan Xian's shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay. It's not too late to know now. When we have time in the future, our brothers will come back with Ruoruo and Sizhe to have a look and have a meal with grandma." Just have a reunion dinner. Isn't that what family is like? No matter how big of a mistake you or I make, we will always be forgiven by grandma."

Perhaps because of Fan Fei, Fan Xian did not have the closeness he originally had with the old lady.Now that he thought about it carefully, he also felt a little regretful about it: "Xiao Xian will definitely keep in mind Big Brother's teachings."

------

The old lady didn't know why, but she always fell asleep every time she leaned on the bed and talked to Fan Fei at night.After serving the old lady to sleep peacefully, Fan Fei slowly stood up, cut his palm with a dagger, and dripped blood into the old lady's mouth.Even if it is not precious hard work, but just the blood of the flesh, it still contains a strong innate vitality.

It's not that Fan Fei is reluctant to work hard, the old lady's body is already withered, and the principle of not being able to replenish her body is so cruel.

If he hadn't relied on the huge financial resources of the Fan family over the years, Fan Fei would have exhausted all his wealth long ago.Even though there are medicinal materials to nourish the body, martial arts is still stuck at the seventh level and cannot make any progress. Don't forget that Fan Fei has a powerful innate sword body.You must know that under Wu Zhu's pressure over the years, Jueying has entered the ninth level.

But compared to the temptation of martial arts, the old lady's longevity is more important to Fan Fei.

After carefully wiping the traces clean, Fan Fei walked away with a pale face.When she opened the door, Jueying had already been waiting with a bowl of medicine: "Master, this is not your solution. For six years, you have poured blood into the old lady. If anything happens in Kyoto, I will not be able to protect you. comprehensive."

"It's okay. The most important thing is that grandma lives a comfortable and long life."
