Chapter 202 Long time no see, sister
Mei Xunyin followed behind Zhao Fangyu and crossed the door. It was not until she got on the carriage that she heard Zhao Fangyu ask her, "Sister-in-law, do you still mean what you said that day about wanting to avenge Li Ge'er?"
Her guess was confirmed. Mei Xunyin widened her eyes in shock and looked at Zhao Fangyu, unable to speak for a long time.
Zhao Fangyu didn't care what she thought. He turned around and took out a glittering jewel dagger from the secret compartment.
"This carriage is to take her on her last journey."
"If sister-in-law doesn't want to, you can still turn back now."
Mei Xunyin's eyes shifted to the golden dagger. The golden scabbard was made very delicately and inlaid with many gems. Regardless of whether it killed someone or not, just taking a gem from the scabbard could be exchanged for a lot of silver.
Zhao Fangyu took the dagger in his hand, pulled out the blade, and looked at it bit by bit against the light. The warm sunlight fell on the blade, and was also soaked in coldness, making it look even more terrifying.
Zhao Fangyu smiled, revealing a bit of his white teeth.
"Very good, no different from the past."
Mei Xunyin was shocked for a moment, and then the look in his eyes as he looked at the jeweled dagger gradually changed.
"This dagger is the weapon I used to cut her tendons in her hands and feet that day."
Zhao Fangyu's tone was light, as if he was not talking about a murder weapon but something as common as newly delivered fruit from someone's home.
"She came here to save Li Ge'er's life that day. Is sister-in-law really so magnanimous that she doesn't care at all?"
"But even if my sister-in-law is generous, I still can't do it."
"Day and night, I can't forget that she and I had a grudge against each other for killing my mother."
She could never forget the pleading look that Aunt Qian gave her before she died.
Yubai's fingers knocked on the wall of the carriage. The people outside heard two thudding sounds coming from inside. He waved the whip, and the carriage immediately moved faster.
Zhao Fangyu did not give Mei Xunyin time to think carefully, and immediately said: "Once we leave the city gate, sister-in-law will not be able to get off the car even if she wants to."
Zhao Fangyu lifted the curtain and looked outside. His words were spoken lightly, but Mei Xunyin felt a shudder in her heart. She was afraid at first, but then she felt a little bit of blood in her veins.
Li Ge'er was the child she carried for ten months, and he had suffered so much just after he was born...
No matter how much pain Zhao Fanglan felt, it could not make up for the pain her son had suffered!
Mei Xunyin sat upright, with a slight tremor in her voice that she couldn't hide: "Sister brought me here, you can't be planning to use me as a scapegoat."
Judging from Zhao Fangyu's calculations, choosing such a critical moment was clearly intended to catch Zhao Minshan off guard.
Zhao Fangyu did not hide it: "You don't have to take the blame, sister-in-law. It was her own fault for choosing the wrong friends that got her into trouble. We had no choice but to do this for the sake of the Zhao family."
There was no tea in the carriage, only a water bag and change of clothes that Zhao Fangyu prepared for Mei Xunyin.
The water bag is filled with strong liquor. Once the cork is pulled out, you can smell the strong aroma of liquor.
"Sister-in-law has never seen blood, drink some to give yourself courage."
Zhao Fangyu said it lightly, as if she was some vicious snake that had killed many people. In fact, she was talking big, and she held the water bag and drank a mouthful of the liquor slowly and firmly.
"Why did you think of touching her today?" Mei Xunyin drank obediently to build up his courage, with the Mei family and Li Ge'er constantly swaying in his mind.
She was probably unfilial, so she finally decided to take a risk.
If I can't kill my enemies in this life, can I just wait for the King of Hell to take them away?
When the day comes when God has mercy on us, how can it be more satisfying than taking revenge with your own hands?
Zhao Fangyu took another sip: "Sister-in-law, just know that this matter has nothing to do with our family."
Zhao Fangyu learned this method from the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei used Zhang Yingying to fish, and Zhao Fangyu used Zhao Fanglan to fish.
Zhao Fanglan is a flaw, and she is clearly showing it.
There is always someone who can find out.
After all, the excuse that was hastily made was not very clever.
Anyone who wanted to dig deep to find any evidence against Zhao Fangyu would first find the mysteriously disappeared Zhao Fanglan.
As we all know, it is impossible to keep the bait when fishing.
Once Zhao Fanglan is found out, the entire Zhao family will fall into the quagmire along with Zhao Fangyu.
Even if Zhao Minshan loves Zhao Fanglan so much, with interests first and family second, he cannot and will not abandon the entire Zhao family and his own future career for a waste like Zhao Fanglan.
Zhao Fangyu remained extremely quiet throughout the journey, and made no secret of the fact that he had no intention of letting Zhao Fanglan go.
The reason she did not kill Zhao Fanglan that day was because she was still immature and wanted to leave a way out for herself. Now that the time has come, she came to see Zhao Fanglan off in person.
Turning around, she saw Mei Xunyin looking at her. Zhao Fangyu thrust the dagger back:
"Sister-in-law, there is no need to test me. I came here in person to share the burden with you."
In Zhao Fangyu's opinion, Mei Xunyin's care for the Mei family may be only slightly less than that of the Queen.
In order to prevent the Mei family from siding with Zhou Qinghe and to continue to remain neutral in the court, she had made a prompt decision to distance herself from herself, the Princess He. Today, being able to stand on her boat for the sake of her child was already a huge breakthrough for Mei Xunyin.
"My fault is mine alone and has nothing to do with my family."
"If it doesn't involve your family... I won't let you bear the burden alone."
No matter how worried Mei Xunyin was about the Mei family, she would never forget that it was Zhao Fangyu who punished Zhao Fanglan and Aunt Zhang for her when the incident happened that day.
Zhao Fangyu smiled but said nothing, but his face was already slightly flushed.
Mei Xunyin is a girl who grew up under the influence of ethics and was deeply influenced by this patriarchal society.
Being able to achieve this was already beyond Zhao Fangyu's expectations.
She originally thought that she would have to spend more time talking, but she didn't expect Mei Xunyin to agree so readily.
After all, in large families, even if people are killed, it is mostly servants who do it.
She rushed forward with a knife in her hand. Even a girl from a military family wouldn't be so unrespectable.
She had heard that a child is the biggest prison for a mother. She didn't believe it at first, but now she believes it completely.
The carriage swayed out of the city. Once outside the city gate, Zhao Fangyu said, "It's a long journey. To prevent outsiders from noticing, my sister-in-law and I can share a horse."
There is a horse farm in the Hewang Mansion. Zhao Fangyu would run on the farm on weekdays. When he had nothing to do, he would go hunting in the woods with Shisiniang and the others. He was quite good at riding a horse.
The guards that appeared on the hanging wall and around were all men. It was not convenient to bring Mei Xunyin with them, and Zhao Fangyu had no intention of leaving his sister-in-law to be taken care of by outsiders.
She brought up this person, so she has to be responsible.
Mei Xunyin looked at Zhao Fangyu in surprise. She didn't expect that she could ride a horse.
"No need, I have also learned the six arts of a gentleman."
All the children of the Mei family learn the six arts of a gentleman, but they just don't say it to others.
This made it even simpler, and the group rode their horses towards the farm.
When it was getting dark, he hurried to the farm.
The village was very quiet, and everyone around had been arranged to leave.
Zhao Fangyu and Mei Xunyin both wore a black cloak and slowly pushed the door open and walked in.
Zhao Fanglan lived a life neither human nor ghost in this farm. She smelled bad and the servants were unwilling to come or live here on weekdays.
Zhao Fanglan had almost never met anyone coming at this time before. She looked up with difficulty and saw a face that made her bloodshot.
From her perspective, Zhao Fangyu was looking down at her, her lips were so red that she looked like a female ghost who had just sucked the blood of a passerby in the wilderness!
Zhao Fanglan became very emotional. She first yelled "wuuu ah ah" twice at Zhao Fangyu, then she began to tremble with fear. She tried her best to shout at the top of her lungs, but only came out with some broken sounds.
Zhao Fangyu put on his hood, and in front of Zhao Fanglan's horrified eyes, he handed Mei Xunyin a dagger that was shining coldly, and said something that frightened Zhao Fanglan:
"It's been a while since we last met. I'm here to see my third sister off and give my aunt a farewell party."
