The dagger was about to pierce Su Xiran's shoulder.

People around exclaimed in surprise.

"Save the princess!"

Fang Yin sat calmly at the table, picked up a peanut with chopsticks and threw it hard.

"Bang!" There was a sound.

The peanut hit the assassin's wrist, causing it to become red and swollen immediately, and he could no longer hold the dagger.

"Plop!" It fell to the ground.

By the time the assassin reacted, the princess's guards had surrounded her.

Fang Yin continued to eat calmly, showing the style of a master.

Fang Tong, who witnessed the whole process, was shocked and opened his mouth wide. He knew that his second brother was extraordinary, but knowing and seeing were two different things.

Is this something a normal person can do?

Fang Yin raised his hand to help him lower his jaw, and the next second he said proudly, "Third brother, don't worship me too much. I'm just a legend."

Fang Tong chuckled twice.

"Some people wet their beds when they were eight years old, and I was the one who secretly washed their sheets."

"Some people were afraid of thunder when they were young. They cried in my arms and asked me to be their big brother and protect them."

"besides……"

Fang Yin broke out in a cold sweat. He was a smart man now and knew that his dark history must not be leaked, otherwise he would lose face.

He poured wine for Fang Tong attentively: "Drink it, third brother. Later, second brother will help you make some private money. Don't tell your sister-in-law."

Fang Tong was satisfied then. He said, "Little guy, I can't deal with you anymore."

After the two brothers finished whispering, the farce in front of them ended.

The assassin has been suppressed.

"Come here, search the Chen Mansion from top to bottom to see if there are any assassins."

"Master Chen, the Third Lord was injured in the mansion today, so just wait for your head to fall off."

Fang Jin stood behind the third princess at some point and scolded her harshly.

The third princess's men immediately took action.

Chen Min'an knelt down with cold sweat on his forehead: "Your Highness, I have failed in my duty. I have failed in my duty."

Su Xiran was still half-lying on the ground in a daze. She was almost there, almost achieving her goal.

How could it fail at the last moment?

It’s all Fang Yin’s fault for meddling in other people’s business.

The third princess glanced at her coldly, full of disgust. She was given the opportunity, but she couldn't seize it. What a fool.

Such an idiot is not worth her second investment.

"Get up. Su Shi wanted to save me today, so Lord Chen's merits and demerits are offset."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Lord Chen lowered his head to wipe the cold sweat from his face, but his chest was filled with bitterness.

Why do they hold such a grand welcoming banquet? Their intention is not to offset the merits and demerits.

He stood up and looked at Fang Jin for help.

Fang Jin seemed not to see it, his face expressionless, and he did not try to make up for the failure of his plan.

"Young General, you are not only a master in martial arts, but also an expert in concealed weapons. It is thanks to you that we are here today." The third princess had a gentle expression and eyes full of admiration.

Fang Yin then stood up and saluted without arrogance or servility: "Princess, you are the ruler. I have only done my duty."

"Young General has made great contributions, so I naturally deserve the reward." The third princess smiled, seeming to be very satisfied with his attitude.

"I wonder what reward, Major General, you would like?"

For a moment, Fang Yin became the focus of everyone at the banquet.

Even though some people had not yet recovered from the panic of the assassination attempt, they knew that the young general had won the favor of the third princess.

Fang Yin lowered his head and said, "I came from a humble background, but I have been deeply blessed by the Emperor. This has given me my current position, which is already a great honor. I have only done a small service and dare not ask for a reward."

The third princess's smile faded: "Young General is indeed someone that the emperor values."

"I don't deserve it."

Fang Yin continued to be humble.

At this time, the guards had searched the Chen family's house thoroughly and found no suspicious persons.

"Princess, I've checked. That maid entered the Chen Mansion some time ago..."

After the guard finished reporting, the third princess handed the matter over to Fang Yin.

"Within three days, I want an explanation."

"Yes, I will definitely do my best to fulfill your mission." Fang Yin said respectfully.

Because of this incident, the welcoming banquet could not be held.

The third princess wanted to go back to the princess's mansion, but she specifically asked Fang Yin to accompany her there.

Fang Yin thought about it and didn't refuse.

After the third princess left, the other guests also said goodbye. Today's welcoming banquet was really unpleasant.

First there was a beehive, then there were assassins. If the Chen family can't hold a banquet, they might as well not hold it.

Many people left with gloomy faces.

At the door, Fang Nanzhi and Jin Xiaoyan waved goodbye.

Jin Xiaoyan stole another glance at Qin Yan, then shyly withdrew her gaze, her voice still inexplicably gentle: "Sister Nanzhi, come and play with me some other day."

Fang Nanzhi felt goose bumps all over her body and quickly said, "Okay, Sister Xiaoyan."

After the two sides separated, they saw Princess Yiyang's carriage coming over. It was moving at such a fast speed that it didn't dare to hit anyone, but it raised a cloud of dust that choked Fang Nanzhi's face.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The little girl fanned away the dust with her hands and coughed violently.

In the carriage, Princess Yiyang lifted the curtain and smiled, "Miss Fang, it's better to go back to the countryside. Not everyone can stay in the capital."

After saying that, the carriage drove away.

This made Fang Nanzhi angry: "She is so annoying."

Qian Fengping took a handkerchief and wiped her daughter's face: "Yes, the princess can't be so arrogant."

Qin Yan frowned slightly: "She is hostile to Zhizhi."

It's not the kind of thing that's just picking on someone for no reason.

Fang Tong said, "Get in the car first."

Fang Yin went to escort the third princess, and the whole family simply squeezed into one carriage.

After the carriage drove away, Qian Fengping first told her about the garden.

"This is the first time Chen Zhiyi and I have met. We have no grudges against each other, and Chen Zhiyi also mentioned Su Xiran."

"Although she and we have a secret beef, we've always kept our distance. Why would she suddenly want to harm me?"

Fang Nanzhi couldn't figure it out.

"Could it be that she wants to recognize Fang Jin in order to help Fang Jin?" Qian Fengping speculated.

"Fang Jin is now the Third Princess's advisor. He's targeting us, but he wouldn't use such childish tactics. He must be plotting something big."

Qin Yan felt that a method like beehive, which was harmful but not presentable, could only be used in the inner chambers.

"Well, I saw today that Su Xiran and Princess Yiyang seem to have a good relationship."

Fang Nanzhi thought in another direction.

Princess Yiyang is the only daughter of Princess Mingzhu and the emperor's cousin. She has always been favored and has the capital to be arrogant.

For example, the third princess was very polite to her. If the two had a dispute, the emperor would definitely scold the third princess.

In other words, she was given the title of a princess, but she could enjoy the same dignity as a princess.

It is normal for Su Xiran to want to curry favor with such a person.

If Su Xiran wanted to help Princess Yiyang vent her anger...it is also very possible.

Now let’s get back to the question, why is Princess Yiyang hostile to Fang Nanzhi?

"Well, actually, I think Princess Yiyang and Zhizhi look somewhat similar." Qian Fengping frowned and thought for a while.

"Impossible! My daughter has bigger eyes, a straighter nose, and a prettier face than hers!"

Fang Tong objected immediately.

In fact, the family also thinks that Nanzhi is the most beautiful girl.

Who knows, because of this, you might be envied by others. Alas, being good-looking also has its troubles.

Fang Nanzhi touched her little face narcissistically.

Everyone skipped this topic and talked about the assassination of the third princess.

"I think that when the Cui family invited the third princess, they must have thoroughly checked everyone's resources. Why would they let a new maid serve the princess?"

Fang Tong touched his chin.

The whole family looked at each other and had the same idea in their minds.

on purpose?

Su Xiran wants to save the third princess and get some credit?

But the Chen family definitely does not have the courage to act out this drama. If they do not do it well, it will be a serious crime.

Unless, unless the Third Princess tacitly agrees!
