Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

Chapter 99 The old lady of the Fang family

The white lanterns at the gate of the Hou Mansion have not been taken down yet, and there are no carriages coming and going at the gate.

Although the plaque of Marquis Taiyun is still there, there is a feeling of dust covering it, as if no one has cleaned it for a long time.

When the carriage stopped, a boy poked his head out from the concierge and took a few more lazy glances, as if he was trying to identify which carriage it was.

Song Guo got off the carriage and stepped forward to explain. The young man glanced at the carriage in surprise and immediately ran into the mansion gate to report.

After a while, scattered people in the mansion knelt at the front door, led by several elders of the Fang family.

Yiman held Ji Lan's arm and stepped out of the carriage.

"See Princess."

Yi Man raised his hand and entered the Taiyun Marquis Mansion.

After sitting down in the main hall, the second elder of the Fang family stepped forward and bowed, "See the eldest princess. The Fang family is still in mourning period. I wonder what the eldest princess is doing?"

Even the royal family has difficulty intervening in some clan affairs.Marquis Taiyun was originally the next patriarch of the Fang family. Now that he is dead, the rights of the Fang family must be re-divided.

At this moment, all the forces in the Fang family must be constantly competing to share the benefits.As a member of the royal family, the eldest princess would definitely be unwelcome when a huge change appeared in the Fang family.

Yiman's face was expressionless, he raised his eyes and stared at the second elder, and suddenly smiled.It made the hearts of the Fang family present rise and fall, and suppressed the second elder's aura.

"Mrs. Fang once came to the palace to visit me. I heard that Mrs. Fang was ill and couldn't bear it. I came to visit her."

Hearing this, the several clan elders headed by him breathed a sigh of relief.

Marquis Taiyun's family has no heirs, and Mrs. Fang is just a dying oil lamp, as long as she doesn't come to help someone fight for family property.

The second elder immediately summoned a concubine of Marquis Taiyun to be used as a general servant, "Come, hurry up and inform your sister-in-law. You, hurry up and help the eldest princess lead the way."

The concubine of Marquis Taiyun must have been favored on weekdays, but now she was being called around and her eyes were red with grievance.But it was still because she was just a weak woman with no power and swaying in the wind. She walked respectfully in front of Yiman, bent down and lowered her head to lead the way.

Walking on the corridor, Yiman glanced at her a few times and walked to Mrs. Fang's yard.

The old lady guarding the door hurried forward, welcomed Yiman into the main hall, and served him tea.

"Please forgive me, Princess. The old lady is ill and cannot get up. I asked my slave to confess to you. It is already a great honor for the old lady that you can come. Please don't go in, lest the old lady's illness affects you. .”

Yiman smiled slightly, "Is the old lady still blaming me for the little joke I made?"

"Don't dare, the old lady is indeed very ill."

The smile on Yiman's face disappeared in an instant, and his voice was cold and hard, "You are so sick that you can send a message to me."

The old mama immediately knelt down and said, "I'm sorry, princess, but the old lady is really sick."

Yiman shook his sleeves and said, "I am the daughter of the Emperor, and there are no taboos. If you don't lead the way, drag me down. I would like to see if Mrs. Fang, who is seriously ill, will get off the bed to save you."

Ji Lan saw that the eldest princess was intimidating the dishonest old woman, and she looked at Song Guo with a smile on her lips, just in time to be seen by the concubine who was leading the way.

After the death of Marquis Taiyun, he left no heirs at the age of forty. Now Mrs. Fang's world is no longer his.

The tribesmen in front are busy fighting for family property. If the eldest princess really wants to deal with one of her nuns, it would be like crushing an ant to death.

The old grandma immediately kowtowed in fear, and the sound of the impact gave people a headache.

There was a groaning sound from the inner room, and Yiman followed the sound and walked in.

As soon as he entered the inner room, he smelled an unpleasant smell mixed with the smell of medicine lingering.Song Guo didn't care about Mrs. Fang, found the window, went straight over and pushed it open.

The bed was covered with a thick quilt, and Mrs. Fang, who was as thin as a handful of bones, was nestled in it.Hearing the sound, he opened his eyelids, squinted at them, and then closed them again, as if he was unconscious.

Yiman walked over and saw that her lips were not white and her face was not bad.He directly lifted the quilt and grabbed her wrist.

Yiman checked her pulse, turned to the old woman and said, "Go and pour me a pot of boiling water."

The old woman didn't know what she was going to do, so she brought a pot of boiling water over.

Ji Lan was afraid that the eldest princess would get burned, so she took it and watched as the eldest princess raised her chin towards Mrs. Fang.Nodding, he grabbed the ear of the pot and placed the boiling water directly above Mrs. Fang's face.

"What are you doing, princess?"

The old grandma's voice was frightened and sharp. Yiman frowned slightly and glanced at Pine Cone.Song Guo immediately pushed the old woman out with her hands and feet, and held the door open.

Yiman straightened his sleeves and looked calm, "Mrs. Fang, are you going to get up by yourself, or are you waiting to be scalded by the hot water?"

The room was silent for half the time of burning incense. Ji Lan glanced at the eldest princess and began to tilt the kettle.

Mrs. Fang opened her eyes a little and saw clearly what was above her head.In an instant, he turned over and crawled out of the quilt, huddled in the corner, and looked at the hot water dripping on the pillow with lingering fear.

There was anger and hatred in his eyes, as if he was about to tear Yiman to pieces, but looking at Yiman who looked calm, he didn't even dare to get out of bed.

When Yi Man felt her pulse, he knew that she only had some common diseases of the elderly and was not serious.

But I really didn't expect her to be so flexible, and her actions just now didn't look like an old man at all.

Yiman lowered his eyes and smiled, "It seems that Mrs. Fang has deep blessings. No matter whether she walked to pray or the death of Marquis Taiyun, she did not fall down."

Madam Fang's eyes flashed with distress, with anger in her eyes, and she held a breath in her chest, "Is the eldest princess here to see my wife's joke?"

When I entered the yard just now, apart from the old nanny, there were only a few close guards guarding me.

Now Mrs. Fang is like a burden to the Fang family, being thrown into this yard to fend for herself.

Yiman tapped his fingers on the table several times rhythmically, "Mrs. Fang, what are your plans in the future?"

Mrs. Fang's treacherous eyes were now defensive, "What do you mean, princess?"

"The situation of the old lady is not very good now. The Fang family is watching covetously internally, and the various aristocratic families outside are watching the division of the Fang family. Once Marquis Taiyun dies, the old lady Fang may have no place here."

Yiman kept staring at Mrs. Fang's eyes and felt strange when he saw that there was not much excitement in her eyes.

"Even if Mrs. Fang still has plans in the Fang family's ancestral home, the Fang family's ancestral land is thousands of miles away from here, and Mrs. Fang's body cannot support the long journey across mountains and rivers."

Mrs. Fang sneered, "I really didn't know that the eldest princess could know her pulse."

Yi smiled nonchalantly, "But in the past, the little means of saving lives were not worth mentioning."

Mrs. Fang snorted twice and stopped talking, but her cloudy eyes were filled with contemplation.

"Isn't the eldest princess here to arrange my wife's life in her later years?"

"Of course not. I can save the old lady from the whirlpool of the Fang family and let her spend her old age peacefully in the capital, or - go to my fiefdom and return to her roots."
