Chapter 893: Chapter 196: So Indecent_4

Fang Zhi had been sent back a month ago, one could even say he had fled back. Seeing Fang Li returning, he became restless again.

Fang Li came out in a huff, with nowhere to go, he decided to find Fang Zhi.

The two got together, called over Fang Zhi’s wife to prepare a table of food and drinks, and started eating and drinking.

Meanwhile, Fang Liuming also rushed to Liu’er Alley.

When Pei Wendong saw him coming late at night, he thought something serious had happened, "Cousin?"

"Where is your elder sister? I have urgent matters with her!" Fang Liuming said anxiously. He had finally gotten her to agree to marry him, absolutely, absolutely no backing out!

Pei Wendong frowned upon hearing this. They were about to get married, and such a visit could reflect badly. What did he need with elder sister?

Fang Liuming had already quickly entered the house.

Pei Qian had just rechecked the gift for Fang Fang, not wanting to give her too much, she really looked down on how lazy and gluttonous she was. Seeing Fang Liuming suddenly barge in, she was startled, "What are you doing here!?"

"About calling off the engagement, I do not agree!" Fang Liuming stated bluntly, staring straight into her eyes.

Pei Wendong, who had followed inside, was shocked, "Calling off the engagement!? Who said that?" They were about to get married, who mentioned calling off the engagement!?

His voice was loud, and Pei Qin, who came out from the latrine, also heard him and strode in, "What’s going on?"

Uncle Yong and Jiujiu came over from the wing room, and the nanny with Xixi followed as well.

They had just finished their meal, Pei Wendong and Xiao Yong were teaching Jiujiu to read, and Xixi was causing mischief on the side.

Pei Qian glanced at everyone, fury and embarrassment turning her small face beet red.

Fang Liuming, seeing Pei Qin and the others unaware, and noting Pei Qian’s reaction, hesitated. It wasn’t... what he had thought?

"I’m disfigured, I want to call off the engagement! Didn’t you see the scar on my face!?" Pei Qian yelled, pushing him away and stormed back into the house.

Fang Liuming, having been yelled at, looked somewhat lost, turning to Pei Qin and Pei Wendong.

Pei Qin profoundly sighed, "A grown woman can hardly be kept at home!"

Pei Wendong’s expression stiffened slightly. Elder sister...

Pei Qin sighed again, "Holding on only breeds resentment!"

Elder sister was pulling... Pei Wendong glanced at Fang Liuming. Couldn’t he see she was speaking in anger?

Fang Liuming, hearing about calling off the engagement, had his mind buzzing. How could he not see she was speaking out of anger, his mind boiling with agitation. With the matter of Fang Hui selling the spicy cabbage recipe and Fang Li opposing his marriage to Pei Qian, and their discussion yesterday, Fang Liuming considered countless possibilities, and as night fell, rushed over in a frantic state.

"I... I... Let me see Cousin Qian’s injury!" Fang Liuming said hurriedly, not waiting for Pei Qin to stop him, and hurried into Pei Qian’s room.

Pei Qin rolled her eyes toward the heavens.

Then they heard Pei Qian yelling at him to get out and Fang Liuming’s soft voice apologizing.

Jiujiu, observing for a while, trotted over with short legs.

The door was naturally not closed.

After watching for a while, Jiujiu ran back, "Mother! He was holding Auntie’s hand, and Auntie slapped him away!"

Pei Wendong’s mouth twitched, "Jiujiu, come here!"

"Come, Jiujiu! Uncle Yong will teach you how to read," Xiao Yong also said, pulling her with a smile.

Jiujiu blinked her large dark eyes, not understanding, and called out to Pei Qin, "Mother!?"

"Hmm... He can’t beat your Auntie!" Pei Qin nodded.

Indeed, Fang Liuming couldn’t beat Pei Qian—that had been true three years ago. Over the past three years, he had constantly trained and even learned boxing and kicking from his guard. But facing Pei Qian, his heart was soft, full of adoration—he couldn’t bear to be harsh with her. Especially after realizing that Pei Qian’s mention of calling off the engagement was her way of throwing a fit, he took that as her being coquettish, his heart bubbling like boiling water.

Even though he had been driven out after exchanging just a few words, Fang Liuming was still exhilarated. He walked home under the cover of night, his lips still curled into a smile.

However, at home, they were looking for Fang Li, worried because it was so late and he hadn’t returned.

Fang Fu had checked Fang Zhi’s house, where he wasn’t found, searched a few other places, and since no one had seen him, they feared he had run off somewhere again.

Fang Liuyang also looked grim, insisting on searching outside. He suspected Fang Li had gone to the brothel again.

Fang Fu was worried about the same thing.

This time, however, they were wrong about Fang Li; he hadn’t gone to the brothel, nor had he left the village.

Instead, he had been dragged away by Widow Yang.
