Chapter 844: Chapter 181: Divorcing You_4

Seeing her furrowing her brows and looking over, Zhang Gengshan promptly replied, "Yes, my lady!" and accompanied her to the county town.

"Decayed tooth!" Shen Songming scoffed coldly.

Pei Qin cursed with a twist of her brow, "Needs a good fixing!"

Shen Songming tacitly nodded in agreement, "We’ll find an opportunity to give him a good fixing!"

"You’ll fix him!?" Pei Qin glanced at him askance.

Shen Songming gave her a knowing look, "Sure!"

Rolling her eyes at him, Pei Qin continued to stroll towards the workshop.

This time, there was ample time. The soy sauce was prepared ahead of schedule, and the preserved eggs were also hastily produced. Shen Songming was not in a hurry, but Mo Heng did not want to see him, so he quickly packed everything up, loaded the cart, and urged Shen Songming to scram, not to hover around Qinqin all day long!

Seeing that he returned so quickly, merely making a trip to the Government Office, Shen Songming secretly curled his lip. The defenses were tight!

Mo Heng came over and took hold of Pei Qin’s hand directly, "What’s the matter with Auntie Yu’s ear?"

Speaking of Lady Yu, Pei Qin didn’t mind being held by him, and angrily said, "That stupid scum Fang Li, instead of living a quiet life, is always up to no good. We must find an opportunity to fix him up good!"

"Let’s wait until they return and ask what the situation is, and if not, we can send him to Baoning County." Fang Liuming mustn’t have everything going smoothly all the time, letting Fang Li cause some trouble for him also spares the future hassles of dealing with something useless.

Shen Songming raised an eyebrow, "Sending him to find Fang Liuming, Fang Liuming would be trapped."

"If he’s so easily trapped, then he might as well step down!" Mo Heng glanced at him coldly.

Shen Songming chuckled, "It’s hard to guard against a house thief."

"Indeed," Mo Heng raised his eyebrows.

The two men exchanged looks, and Shen Songming was the first to make a cutthroat gesture.

When Fang Fu returned with Lady Yu and Grandma Fang in the evening, they brought back a heap of medicine, and she needed to go for more acupuncture the next day.

Mo Heng shared his suggestion that Fang Li should go to Baoning County to find Fang Liuming.

Lady Yu disagreed, "With his behavior, if he goes to find Dalang, he’s definitely going to cause trouble for Dalang!"

Grandma Fang also disagreed, "With him at home, your grandpa and I can still keep an eye on him. But if he goes to Dalang’s place, as his father, wouldn’t he be the one causing trouble for Dalang instead!?"

Fang Fu did not say anything but looked at Mo Heng with furrowed brows. He knew that Mo Heng had his long-term considerations in making this suggestion, yet Dalang was about to embark on a significant venture, and if his elder brother went, given his temperament, who knew what trouble he might stir up, potentially ruining Dalang’s career.

"Go back and discuss it with grandpa, and see what he thinks," Mo Heng said.

Fang Fu nodded, went home and reported Lady Yu’s condition, listened to Old Scholar Fang’s rant, then shared Mo Heng’s idea about sending Fang Li to Baoning County.

Old Scholar Fang did not immediately object. After careful consideration, he called Fang Li and told him to go to Baoning County to find Fang Liuming.

Fang Li’s eyes brightened with suspicion, "Why are you sending me to Baoning County?"

"To have you play the big lord," Lady Yu sneered.

Fang Li glanced at her with disgust, "I’m going!" Since the family wouldn’t let him divorce Lady Yu, he would go to find Dalang, persuade him to return to the Capital Jingcheng, find a way to be transferred back to the capital, and avoid seeing them.

Old Scholar Fang said nothing more. The next day, as Lady Yu went for acupuncture, he also followed to consult with Mo Heng.

The two talked sparingly for half a day. After a long discussion, Old Scholar Fang ultimately nodded, his expression stern and severe, and returned home. He told Fang Li, "Get your things ready, and when there is a merchant caravan or an escort agency going that way, you can follow them."

Fang Li was somewhat skeptical, but he thought this was their scheme not to let him hit Lady Yu again or divorce her, a ruse to get him to leave, but it suited him just fine.

When Fang Zhi found out, he was overjoyed, pulling at Fang Li to become his attendant and errand boy, "Having someone you know well to serve you looks impressive, it doesn’t take away from the dignity of a big lord!"

After a series of coaxing and flattery, Fang Li waved his hand magnanimously in agreement to take him along.

Old Scholar Fang’s face darkened, and without saying much, he prepared the necessary items for the trip, liaised with the merchant caravan, and sent him on his way.
