Chapter 426
County Princess Duan Rou was even more furious. She had lived a smooth life since she was born, and in Yuzhou, who did not know that she was Wang Yu’s beloved first daughter, even her father, mother, and concubines never laid a hand on her.
This was the first time in her life that she had been beaten!
Princess Duan Rou laughed angrily and her eyes were cold.
Did Fang Hanjun think that since this was the capital and now had the backing of the Empress Dowager and the emperor, she could do nothing to her?!
Covering her red and swollen face from Fang Hanjun’s slap, County Princess Duan Rou looked at her with a condescending look, as she said. “Fang Hanjun, aren’t you afraid that Auntie Yongle’s spirit will not be able to rest in peace in heaven?”
Her eyes were sharp and vicious as she threatened her, so what if she were in the capital, Fang Hanjun would not be able to think of causing trouble!
“Then you can just say it.” Fang Hanjun’s expression was icy cold and her eyes looked like they were frozen, completely different from her usual gentle appearance.
“You can tell everyone that I was married off by your father in Yuzhou, and not only did I lose my virginity, but I also lost my virginity during my filial piety!” Fang Hanjun slowly uttered shocking words without even batting her eyebrows, looking so calm and collected.
County Princess Duan Rou: “!!!”
County Princess Duan Rou was once again dumbfounded and confused.
What Fang Hanjun said and did today was completely beyond her expectations, and Princess Duan Rou was completely at a loss as to what exactly Fang Hanjun was thinking.
How dare she, how dare she say it in front of so many people!
Was she not afraid of people poking her?
Was she not afraid of people knowing that she had lost her virginity and would never be able to get married in this life?
Was she not afraid that, like her mother, she could only stay in a corner and never dare to go out again…
It was clear that the Fang Hanjun in front of her was the same cousin she had grown up with, but, at this moment, Princess Duan Rou felt as if she had never known this cousin.
Qin Jiu: “?”
Even Qin Jiu was shocked by what she heard and remembered the conversation she had with Fang Hanjun. She could not help but was flooded with an unspeakably complex feeling.
She looked at Fang Hanjun with a calm expression.
The simple yet elegantly dressed girl in front of her released a compelling burning light, causing the surrounding red plum trees to lose their color.
“Don’t think you can threaten me for the rest of your life by holding a bit of leverage.” Fang Hanjun casually stroked her sleeve, her eyes showing mockery, before turning around and walking away without a care in the world.
Her slender figure appeared delicate, fragile, and resolute in the cold wind like a camellia blooming in full bloom in the wind as white as snow, elegant, and noble.
Qin Jiu took Gu Zezhi’s hand and quickly chased after Fang Hanjun, walking briskly.
Princess Duan Rou looked at Fang Hanjun’s back and stomped her feet fiercely, burning her heart even hotter.
True to Fang Hanjun’s words, this was the capital; once Fang Hanjun was willing to take the initiative, she would have nothing to do with her.
Hateful, ashamed, and unwilling, she could only turn her anger to Tang Fengchun, “Useless!”
“Can’t even do such a little thing right!”
“If I had known I would have let your fourth sister follow me to the capital!”
Tang Fengchun hugged the cloak tightly, feeling her limbs freeze and go numb, her her whole body was cold.
She was greatly offended, but even so, she did not dare to talk back and could only stifle her voice and let County Princess Duan Rou scold her, as her wet eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Under these eyelashes, deep hatred was hidden in her pitch-dark eyes, which immediately flickered.
In the next instance, she again had a pitiful look, which was especially pitiful against her wet hair and slightly blue cherry lips.
Princess Duan Rou did not notice Tang Fengchun’s unusual behavior at all, at this time, someone brought a shoulder cart and helped the embarrassed Tang Fengchun in, then the group headed back to the east.
Qin Jiu and the others went in the opposite directions from Princess Duan Rou and her party and had already sat down in a nearby pavilion.
After the palace maid served tea to three of them, she politely withdrew at Fang Hanjun’s signal.
“Uncle.” Fang Hanjun took a sip of tea before continuing, “I didn’t lie to you, I really do have something to tell you.”
Gu Zezhi raised his eyebrows and asked, “Did Wang Yu ask you to come to the capital?”
Fang Hanjun nodded, her expression showing perseverance and determination.
The conversation she had just had with Qin Jiu in the flower hall was not a momentary feeling, but her first step in testing them out. Rather than testing Qin Jiu, she was trying to figure out what kind of person Gu Zezhi was from Qin Jiu’s mouth, and Qin Jiu’s attitude towards Madam’s Xu divorce, to some extent also represents Gu Zezhi’s attitude.
And just now, Tang Fengchun in the water has been her second test. It was not until she saw Gu Zezhi’s reaction that she was sure that they would be worthy of her trust, so she no longer hesitated and went straight for it.
Fang Hanjun locked eyes with Gu Zezhi, who was on the other side of the stone table, and had no intention of avoiding Qin Jiu, saying, “Even if the emperor did not ask for me to come here, Wang Yu is still planning to send me to the capital.”
“Wang Yu was afraid that I would be disobedient, so while I was still in mourning, he engaged me to marry in Yuzhou.”
Qin Jiu: “??”
The corner of Fang Hanjun’s mouth was hooked into a sneer.
