After meeting Fang Qingya and confirming her identity, Su Muan immediately sent people to investigate.
In just half an hour, the Fang family was thoroughly investigated.
"Reporting to the eldest young master, the Fang family is just a farming family. Their eldest son, Fang Jin, has studied for many years but has not yet achieved any academic success. He married Wang, a woman with a nymphomania. His concubine, He, was originally the daughter of a scholar and married to him, but was later demoted to a concubine."
Su Muan raised an eyebrow. Even in a peasant household, there were many dirty things going on.
"His second son, Fang Yin, is a fool and has been adopted out. His youngest son, Fang Tong, married into his wife's family last year and has also been adopted out."
"Fang Tong has a daughter named Fang Nanzhi, who is the one who had the conflict with the young lady this time."
"The Fang Tong family is now just a small business. There are two things worth noting. First, their son, Qin Yan, won the first place in the county case. Second, Fang Nanzhi is studying medicine. Her teacher is the former imperial physician Zhou in the capital."
"What?" Su Muan sat up straight, his face becoming more serious.
"But is it the Imperial Physician Zhou, the head of the Imperial Hospital who retired last year?"
The servant lowered his head and said respectfully, "That's right."
Su Muan frowned. What a coincidence? This Imperial Physician Zhou was different from other Imperial Physicians. His medical skills were ranked among the top three in this dynasty.
Even though the doctor was just a craftsman and was nothing in the eyes of the nobles, they were unwilling to offend the doctor easily, especially such a miracle doctor.
This old doctor Zhou never accepted any disciples in his life, so how come he accepted a little girl after retiring and returning to his hometown?
"It seems that this matter cannot be simply settled with money." Madam Wan said lightly from the main seat.
Doctor Zhou had received countless rewards in the palace throughout his life, but he was never short of money. Furthermore, his son had a successful career in the government.
To deal with it with money is an insult.
"An'er, bring Xiran to visit tomorrow. One is to test Dr. Zhou's attitude, and the other is to let your sister meet her biological parents." Madam Wan gave direct instructions.
"Yes." Su Muan agreed immediately.
But Su Xiran looked unhappy. What biological parents?
She didn't have such useless parents. Her father had studied his entire life but couldn't even pass the exam to become a student. Her mother was originally married to a man, but she was bullied into becoming a concubine? He didn't want to be associated with such a filthy family.
Su Xiran knelt down and saluted: "Mother, in my heart, you are my only mother. Xiran doesn't want to see them."
Madam Wan raised her eyelids and glanced at her, her tone calm.
"Don't worry, no matter what, the two daughters of the Bo family will raise you. But after all, they gave birth to you and raised you. Go and see you. It will be a token of their affection."
Su Xiran's face turned pale, but she couldn't refuse anymore, otherwise she would seem unkind.
But he couldn't help sneering in his heart. What's the point of raising two daughters together? If she didn't have a good marriage prospect, she would probably have been sent back to the countryside on the day her identity was exposed.
"I'm tired. You brothers and sisters should go down and have a rest." Mrs. Wan sighed.
Su Muan and his sister hurriedly bowed and retreated together. As soon as they left, Madam Wan's face became a little colder.
She summoned her trusted nanny and said in a low voice, "Go to Mushan Village immediately and take good care of the Fang family. Don't let them say anything wrong."
"Yes!" Madam Hu lowered her head respectfully and walked out immediately.
Mushan Village.
As evening approached, Fang Nanzhi sat leisurely on the doorstep, propping up his head and looking up at the sky.
The injury on her head had not healed yet, and Master Zheng and Mr. Zhou gave her a vacation and stopped her from reading, so the little girl suddenly had some free time.
She wanted to go play with her friends, but her father wouldn't let her.
The children were running around and making a lot of noise when they were playing, and what her daughter needed now was some rest.
The setting sun illuminated the sky, and the little girl stared at it in a trance. It was so beautiful, like the yolk of a salted duck egg.
Fang Nanzhi swallowed her saliva, wondering if she could have salted duck eggs tonight if she went to her mother and acted coquettishly.
Just as he was thinking about it, a carriage slowly entered the village and stopped when it was near the Qin family.
The driver jumped off the car, walked towards the little girl, and spoke condescendingly.
"Little girl, do you know where the Fang family is?"
Fang Nanzhi glanced at him and said nothing.
My brother said, don’t associate with rude people.
The driver frowned. He was indeed a country boy without any education. He rummaged through his pocket and took out two copper coins.
"Little girl, please help me point the way. If I'm right, these two cents are yours."
Fang Nanzhi's eyes lit up and he took it without hesitation.
"Big brother, which Fang family are you talking about? There are many people with the last name Fang in our village."
Seeing her so mercenary, the driver's eyes flashed with disdain: "Do you know the Fang Jin family?"
"Oh!" Fang Nanzhi suddenly realized: "So it's the Fang family, the most wicked family in the village. I know."
She knew it all too well and still lived there for seven years.
"Go straight ahead for half a mile, then turn left and it's the third house."
After hearing this, the driver turned around and left.
Fang Nanzhi didn't mind. Watching the carriage leave, she felt a little excited. It seemed like the Fang family was going to have some fun again!
The little girl immediately got up and ran to the yard to find her father.
The coachman drove the carriage and soon stopped at the door of Fang's house.
He was cooking in the kitchen. She was making brown rice porridge, which was very thin and not filling at all.
But there was no way, the food in the house was provided by Old Mrs. Fang.
Old Madam Fang was sitting in the yard, with three or four servants and a maid standing in front of her. They were all sent by the Wang family.
But now Master Wang is missing, there is no news about Wang Fujiao, and the Fang family has no money, so they can't afford to support these servants.
Old Madam Fang's face was stern, and she tried to be dignified: "Your master doesn't care about you now. You eat the rations of our Fang family, so you should do your job well. If anyone dares to be lazy, I will sell him out!"
The first few sentences are all nonsense, only the last sentence is Mrs. Fang’s real purpose.
She planned to sell a few servants to earn some money to cover the medical expenses.
But the three servants were not afraid at all: "Mrs. Fang, you may not know that servants in this business need to have a contract to sell themselves. Our contract is still in the Wang family."
Therefore, the Fang family had no indentures and could not control them at all.
The only maid who had a contract to sell her body became even more uneasy. Wasn't she the only one left to sell?
She plopped down on her knees.
"Old lady, please don't sell me. I am loyal to you."
This maid was given to He by the Wang family, and the indenture was originally in He's hands.
But the maid was taken away by Old Lady Fang, who also took control of the indenture, so the maid became Old Lady Fang's person.
Not to mention, she has been serving Old Madam Fang quite well these days, and she is really reluctant to let her go.
What's more, she wanted to sell the servants even more. They were strong men and ate a lot, which was a waste of food.
But she can't control people.
At this moment, the carriage stopped and the driver helped an old woman out.
Even though the Fang family's door was unlocked, the two of them didn't come in. The driver called out at the door: "Excuse me, is this Fang Jin's house?"
