The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family
Chapter 841 - 181: Divorcing You

Chapter 841: Chapter 181: Divorcing You

Fang Li still did not believe Mo Heng had such great ability. If he knew people with great influence, why was he still a minor official with ninth rank?

Shen Songming turned away and ignored the situation. If there was trouble, they should go find that blind man, who supposedly could kill Fang Li if he was capable!

Fang Zhi glanced at Shen Songming and then at Fang Li, probing, "This Sir Mo, the influential people he knows, from which family do they come, and are they high-ranking officers?"

Shen Songming raised his eyebrows, "Does the Emperor count?"

Fang Zhi burst into laughter, "Young Master Shen really knows how to joke. To know the Emperor, the Emperor must also know him!"

Fang Li also thought it was a joke. If Mo Heng was really that capable, he himself wouldn’t be nesting in this small town. But, as reasoning with Shen Songming went nowhere, Fang Li left with a gloomy face.

Leaving the small courtyard, Fang Zhi sighed, "We have no power ourselves, so asking for favors is truly difficult!"

Fang Li pursed his lips, remaining silent. It was all because of Pei Qin and the others! If it wasn’t for Liuming being in Capital Jingcheng as a Capital Official, he would never have been assigned elsewhere. That little wretch, Pei Qian, if Liuming weren’t called back to Jingcheng, she could dream of marrying into the family! Thinking thus, he gritted his teeth, "With me here, Pei Qian can dream on about marrying in!"

Fang Zhi’s eyes twinkled. That Pei Qian did come with quite a dowry!

At this moment, Fang Li wasn’t thinking about how much dowry Pei Qian had. His son’s official position was getting higher, how could there be a lack of silver? His parents had been totally bewitched by those women! Lady Yu, that wretch, had stuck to them from the start. He had to divorce that wretch!

"Brother Fang, it’s getting late today. Shall we go home, or stay here? Young Master Shen’s place still has quite some room," Fang Zhi wanted to stay, be with Shen Songming a bit longer. Since the small courtyard belonged to Pei Qin and Fang Li was his uncle, staying there wouldn’t be out of place. It was a good opportunity to dine with Shen Songming, chat a bit, and maybe get involved in some business with him, which could lead to prosperity.

Fang Li pondered, thinking of talking it over once more, maybe Shen Songming would agree.

However, Shen Songming did not want to deal with them and had Shuang Xi send them off, saying, "Having traveled all the way here, I’m simply too tired and have already gone to bed."

Fang Li felt extremely annoyed.

Fang Zhi both urged and coaxed, pulling him to a brothel, "Let’s just listen to some tunes and ease our minds! Also, let little brother here learn a thing or two by following Brother Fang! You’re an officer’s father already, going there would surely bring you flattery!"

Just as they reached the entrance, they were swiftly dragged inside by the brothel’s sister.

Fang Li entered a brothel for the first time and felt extremely uncomfortable. Thinking about divorcing Lady Yu, he gritted his teeth and embraced the sister serving him food.

After spending a night at the brothel, he got up the next day feeling as if he had done something extraordinary and flamboyantly tossed two taels of silver to the sister.

Hearing from Fang Zhi that he was Fang Liuming’s father and Pei Qin’s uncle, the madam didn’t even ask him for money but also prepared chicken soup for him. Fang Li felt this was truly pleasurable living, the life of a grand lord.

"Brother Fang! I’ll be following you from now on! Who knew such good things existed, it’s simply... simply like being an immortal!" Fang Zhi floated over, laughing elatedly.

Fang Li also felt it was indeed quite pleasant, but Fang Zhi enjoying himself alongside him made him somewhat displeased.

Immediately, Fang Zhi declared that the two taels of silver were spent by him as a filial gift to Fang Li, not expecting repayment, and then took him out for breakfast.

Fang Li’s mood improved somewhat.

Having not returned home all night, Grandma Fang was worried, fearing he might have been injured in some incident. Fang Fu and Fang Liuyang went out searching, only hearing that someone had seen him riding a donkey on the outskirts of the village, his head wound bandaged, but his subsequent whereabouts unknown.

Old Scholar Fang, infuriated, cursed and refused to look for him, "Just let him die out there!"

Lady Ruan discussed with Fang Fu that they should continue searching, as if Fang Li really met with an accident and died outside as his father-in-law cursed, Dalang would have to return home to observe three years of mourning, ruining his promising career.

The village and the town were searched throughout. When they arrived at Liu’er Alley to inquire, after meeting Shen Songming, they learned that Fang Li had gone to the county city and spent a night in a brothel.

Fang Fu’s face turned ashen, "Brother actually ran off to a brothel. When father finds out, there will definitely be uproar! How could he go to such a place? Is he not afraid of disgracing Dalang!"

Shen Songming chuckled, "Men, after all, are inevitably tempted. In this society where brothels are everywhere and visiting prostitutes is fashionable, enduring for a moment doesn’t mean forever resisting the urge to try something different, to partake in wild pleasures. Especially the more outwardly decent they are, the more deviant their indulgences—neither plain nor rich is off limits!" he said, throwing a glance towards Mo Heng.
