Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 942 - 940_1

Chapter 942: Chapter 940_1

"Master Shangguan! It truly has nothing to do with my husband! It was all the servant’s mistake in changing rooms! Master Shangguan, my husband has done nothing wrong, you can’t dismiss him from his post!" Upon seeing Shangguan Xuanyi making his judgment, and his serious expression showing no signs of threatening them, Mrs. Fang totally panicked. She quickly knelt in front of Shangguan Xuanyi, blocking his way.

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at the person blocking his way, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and with a lift of his foot, he kicked her away.

Shangguan Xuanyi had a good control of his strength, not great enough to kill, not too small to let Mrs. Fang off lightly. She curled up in pain on the ground.

Fang Wanping, frightened, quickly ran to her side: "Mother, mother, are you alright?"

Shangguan Xuanyi didn’t even glance at the two of them, just held Xiao’er’s hand and walked away!

Zhu Yan and Zhao Yong, who was carrying Jingrui, quickly followed.

The servants of the Fang family were all scared into silence. Each of them, upon seeing them, hid away like rats seeing a cat.

Only after they had completely left did Fang Wanping dare to scold angrily: "Are you all dead? Why don’t you carry the lady back to her room? And hurry up and call the doctor!"

The maids, upon hearing these words, scattered like birds.

Mrs. Fang had only been in pain for a while, and now she had recovered. She got up with the help of the maids, took hold of Fang Wanping’s hand and said, "Wanping, go wake up your father and figure out what to do! What is he still sleeping for at this moment!"

Fang Wanping was already anxious and angry, and upon hearing this, she couldn’t help but say, "Mother, you know very well that father can’t be woken up once he’s drunk, what’s the point in waking him! Waking him up won’t do anything! His official post is not as big as the Magistrate’s, and he isn’t the Emperor!"

Hearing these words, Mrs. Fang froze for a moment, then realized they made sense: "What should we do then? Your father really can’t continue as sub-prefect, what should we do?"

"What to do? If father knew that we caused him to lose his official post, do you think he’ll let us go?" Fang Wanping had calmed down, Shangguan Xuanyi’s expression just now, she could be sure her father’s days as a sub-prefect were really over! And once her father woke up and found out, he would definitely kill them!

She had seen her father beat up his original wife because her big brother offended him, causing his performance evaluation to be poor! He could not be transferred back to the Imperial Capital!

It was her mother who said that she knew something about his superior, which could threaten him. Then she went to find her father’s superior once, and then her father had the opportunity to come here to serve as sub-prefect!

Now they have directly caused him to lose his job, without an official position, she didn’t dare to imagine how he would treat them!

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fang’s face turned pale! No one knew better than her what Master Fang was like! He was a selfish and self-interested man! To become a sub-prefect, he didn’t even care about his own son, where could he have any human nature?

If she hadn’t been forced into a corner, she wouldn’t have turned to him!

Now their scheming has failed, and he has lost his position as a result. He would be considered lenient if he just beat her, he would definitely sell her and her daughter!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Fang became afraid: "Let’s go! We have to go quickly!"

"Go?" Fang Wanping was a little stunned, where should they go?

"If we don’t go, your father will sell you!" Mrs. Fang grabbed her daughter’s hand and ran towards the house! She had to take all the things that were worth silver!

When Fang Wanping heard that her father would sell her, she was also scared! To be sold, where could she be sold? She didn’t want to be a maid nor a prostitute! If she were with her mother, perhaps her mother could find her a more powerful stepfather again!

With that thought, she decided without hesitation to run away with her mother.

The two of them returned to their respective rooms, packed all the things worth silver! What can’t be taken was sold, including the newly purchased servants, leaving behind only two personal maids who usually served them!

If the house was not owned by the Imperial Court, they probably would have sold it too. But they didn’t dare to since selling the house now would alert the Magistrate!

It only took two hours for them to sort out these matters, and then they fled in the new carriage of the house!

Master Fang was still lying in bed, so drunk that he was unconscious, without even a quilt covering him!

Because Mrs. Fang didn’t even leave him with a quilt!

Master Fang, who was drunk, ended up freezing all night. The next day, he woke up in a daze, called out for a long time without anyone answering him. Then he realized something was wrong, walked out, only to find that the entire house was emptied. He still thought he was dreaming!

It wasn’t until someone sent from the Government Office came to dismiss him and degrade him to commoner status that he realized what was going on!

It was not until an officer drove him out of the mansion, and he accidentally fell at the gate, felt the pain, that he realized it was not a dream!

Then he grabbed the last officer who left and asked what had happened. Only then did he find out that his wife and daughter had caused trouble and ran away, leaving him behind!

Then he ran like a mad dog, looking for people all over the streets. Still, some kind-hearted people told him that they saw his wife and daughter leave the city and head north!

Xiao’er and Zhu Yan and Bai Tian went to inspect the construction site of the workshop during the day. They only heard about this when they returned to the Garden Hotel in the evening.

"They ran away?" Xiao’er exclaimed in surprise! Mrs. Fang and Fang Wanping have once again refreshed her worldview! Actually doing the deed of running away with all their belongings, leaving their husband behind! What kind of people are these?

Quickly, Shangguan Xuanyi helped her: "Be careful, don’t get excited!"

"How can I not be excited? I’ve met such people! Women in this era regard their husbands as their heaven, do you think they are like me, open-minded, capable of running away leaving their husband behind!"

If the man is too bad, of course, he must be dumped! Otherwise, why stay with him?

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi’s face turned grim immediately, he threatened, "What did you say, say that again!"

"Hehe, I’m just making a comparison, how could I do such a thing! If I really wanted to run, I would take you with me!" Xiao’er hurriedly laughed it off!

Shangguan Xuanyi snorted coldly.

"How could they run away? Leaving just Master Fang alone at home?" Zhu Yan was also extremely surprised.

Indeed, it is a case of "husbands and wives are like birds of the same forest, they fly on different paths when disaster strikes."

"Yes, I heard the officers say that Mrs. Fang and Fang Wanping took away everything valuable from home. What they couldn’t take, they sold it for silver, not even leaving a quilt for Master Fang!" Yang Mei didn’t follow the two of them out today, so she had a clear view of what happened on the streets!

Zhu Yan: "Ruthless! They’re really too ruthless!"

Xiao’er: "Master Fang must be going mad!"

Yang Liu nodded, "That’s right, he’s looking for people frantically on the streets! But they’ve already left the city overnight!"

"Tsk tsk, one has to beware of thieves day and night, but it is hard to guard against a house thief!" The group only commented a few sentences, then they stopped discussing this matter.
