Chapter 654 Playing Rogue
Fang Nanzhi watched coldly from a distance, but as she was the host, she had to save face. She took some clothes and waited for Ji Hongmei to wash up before letting her change.
At this time, Ji Yuanyou and her father, Master Ji, both looked unhappy in the yard.
Fang Tong is the host, so he always has to appease some people.
"It's okay, it's okay. Maybe it was because it was dark and she was careless. She just needs to wash it more. But this girl is so young and she has suffered a lot. The family can only be more careful."
Ji Yuanyou nodded in agreement with a forced smile. Master Ji looked gloomy, feeling that he had embarrassed himself, and turned to look at Ji Hongmei's personal maid.
"Tell me! What's going on? The lady went to the toilet, why weren't you there to serve her?"
The maid was startled and fell to her knees with a thud!
She didn't expect things to turn out like this, but if she told the truth, she might not be tortured afterwards, so she could only grit her teeth.
"Master, Master, actually...actually, our young lady was just taking care of Mr. Qin! Mr. Qin vomited, and she went to the toilet to dump his filth, and she accidentally fell into the pit!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people present suddenly became strange, and some people couldn't help but murmur.
"What's going on? Do the two families have some ideas? Otherwise, why would they let Ji Hongmei take care of Qin Yan?"
The others didn't say anything, but they exchanged glances secretly.
Listening to the vague discussions, Fang Tong and Fang Nanzhi's faces turned completely cold. They knew that the Ji family was really shameless and would blame them even if they had to.
Fang Nanzhi was almost laughing out of anger: They were planning to make enemies instead of getting married!
Master Ji glanced at the expressions of the father and daughter, and immediately pretended to scold the maid: "Nonsense! How could my daughter secretly contact a man outside? If you dare to make up such a story, I will have you sold out when I get home!"
This time the maid not only knelt down, but even kowtowed.
"I really didn't lie. Mr. Qin was in that room just now..." She pointed to Qin Yan's room and lowered her head, afraid that others would see the panic on her face.
"Just now, he was so drunk that he leaned all over our lady, holding her shoulders. When our lady helped him to bed, he, he..."
This maidservant had never been married, so when she was asked to make up some words, she found it difficult to say them.
Ji Yuanyou narrowed his eyes: "What else?!"
The maid shuddered, her heart ached: "He even touched the young lady's hand! He even touched her sleeve! And he said..."
"He said that our young lady should stay here tonight. As long as she follows him, he will take her to the capital later!"
When these words were spoken, even those who had a good relationship with Fang Tong and Qin Yan couldn't help but gasp.
Those who didn't believe it naturally didn't, but they were still shocked. However, anyone with a clear mind knew that no matter what the truth was, this matter would not end peacefully.
"No way, this Qin Yan doesn't look like such a dissolute person."
"You also said that since this man and woman are unmarried, it's normal for them to fall in love with each other."
Some people objected quietly, while others frowned, but no matter what, this was too inappropriate.
People who were close to Fang Tong naturally couldn't bear to hear this: "We don't know what's going on yet. I haven't heard that Qin Yan knew Ji Hongmei before. She's not some celestial being. How can he rely on her just after meeting her once?"
Everyone was talking at once. Mrs. Lu, who had just been carried away, took advantage of the chaos and came back in. She was very relieved to see the scene before her and shouted, "Isn't this a private transaction? Hurry and put it in the room!"
Qian Fengping came over as soon as the accident happened. Seeing the smug look on Lu's face, she became furious!
She thought she had never offended the Lu family, but they kept causing trouble for her.
She quickly walked through the crowd, rushed to her, raised her hand and slapped her hard and crisply!
With a "bang", Lu was hit so hard that she saw stars and lost her hearing for a moment. If someone around her had not subconsciously supported her, she would have almost fallen to the ground.
"How dare you! My son is a successful candidate in the imperial examination and the son of an official. I want to see who among you dares to spread rumors about him today. I will remember you one by one and we will settle the score someday!"
When she said this, her eyes swept over the people around her, and the surroundings became much quieter.
Seeing that his mother was full of energy but also burning with anger, her body was shaking, Fang Nanzhi quickly stepped forward to support her arm, and also looked at the people who had just spoken rudely with a cold look.
"My brother met Miss Ji for the first time today, and it was Miss Ji's brother who introduced them personally. My brother was in the front the whole time, drinking with everyone. After we finished drinking, I sent him to the backyard. How could he have had time for private communication?"
"This maid is not in her right mind. I believe that everyone has their own opinion."
Master Ji gave Ji Yuanyou a look, and the latter knew he had no choice but to keep silent. He snorted coldly, "That's not the case. My sister is as beautiful as a fairy, and it's possible that Qin Yan fell in love with her at first sight. There are witnesses here, and my sister was in trouble in your house. Don't you want to admit your responsibility for ruining her reputation?"
When he said this, some people couldn't hold it anymore.
"Master Ji, if you're going to find an excuse, find a good one. Forget it, Qin Yan is much prettier than your sister Ji Hongmei!"
At this time, some people were still trying to muddy the waters: "That's not the case. He was young and hot-tempered and had been drinking, so it's not impossible."
Fang Nanzhi glanced at Ji Yuanyou and said, "The matter is still unclear. Why is Mr. Ji so anxious to throw dirty water on his sister? You seem to have a grudge against her."
Ji Yuanyou didn't expect Fang Nanzhi to speak so harshly at such a young age, and he immediately became anxious: "It's obviously your family who doesn't want to admit it!"
Fang Nanzhi scoffed mercilessly, "What debt are you admitting? If someone didn't know, they'd think my family owed you money. Why don't you show me the account book? You Ji family are really amazing. You brought a woman from nowhere and jumped into someone else's cesspool, then you're trying to get her to be your wife. You're so shameless, does everyone in the neighborhood know about it?"
Master Ji watched the two people bickering, and his son was actually at a disadvantage. He was filled with resentment and turned to the other party and said, "It's not a good idea to argue like this. As the heads of the family, let's have a chat!"
Fang Tong lowered his eyes and patted his dust-free clothes. "What are you talking about? Master Ji, I think you know exactly what happened just now. I know what you are thinking too."
When he said this, he looked down at Master Ji with a smile on his face, which was different from his previous cheerful look. He actually showed some official authority.
Master Ji was startled. Just as he was about to say something, Fang Tong said, "Since your Ji family is so disrespectful and insists on causing trouble for me on such a happy day, then I will give you an explanation."
Mr. Ji was a little panicked now, and then he remembered that Fang Tong was also a ninth-rank official.
Fang Tong turned and looked at his wife.
