Finally, he said, "These are just small matters. If they get out, even if the grandfather punishes his grandson with house arrest, it won't be a big deal. If a real quarrel breaks out, people will say it's a family affair, and it will make the Lan family look aggressive!"

"Why don't we use these little tricks to annoy the old marquis? That's all. If anyone knows about it, it's just a disagreement between father and son. What does it have to do with us?"

Lu Zhenzhen told the story slowly and leisurely.

Lan's mother and Madam Lan looked at each other, both of them with indescribable joy and heartache in their eyes.

It was Minister Lan who finally spoke up: "After all, she is our Lan family's daughter, so she follows me in this regard! Unlike your mother-in-law, who only has the face of a Lan family member but not the brains of a Lan family member! That's why she has suffered so much injustice over the years!"

Lan curled her lips and said, "Great, great, great, your daughter is good in every way!"

I am a yesterday’s girl, right?

After all, her elder brother, Minister Lan, was very powerful, so she could only criticize him in her heart.

He had to put on a smile and said, "Brother, whatever you say is right! So do you think the division of the family that I mentioned is feasible?"

Minister Lan only asked one question: "Have you ever thought that if Brother Yi passes high school, your father-in-law, that old fox, will be able to easily let you split up and leave the family?"

Lan was stunned. She really hadn't thought about it much. Even when she thought about it occasionally, she would think about the third master Fu Heyin.

Just let him go about his business. After all these years, he should be of some use now, right?

Minister Kelan's question made her realize the seriousness of the matter.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"If your father-in-law, that old fox, saw that Yi Ge'er had a bright future, how could he let go of such a good helper to the Marquis' Mansion? You are still taking it for granted!"

"And you haven't answered me yet. Did Brother Yi agree to the separation? Did you ask Brother Yi's opinion? Or did you and your mother-in-law just make the decision on your own?"

The moment Minister Lan's face darkened, Mrs. Lan immediately hid behind her mother as a conditioned reflex.

Madam Lan immediately pulled Lu Zhenzhen behind her and was about to speak to help.

Fu Zhiyi's voice came from the door: "Uncle, I know about this, and I'm willing to do it!"

After hearing Fu Zhiyi's words, Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Minister Lan glanced at Lan with a half-smile, then looked at Fu Zhiyi: "Are you sure? Are you also fooling around with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?"

Fu Zhiyi walked over to Minister Lan and said, "Uncle, I've had the idea of ​​splitting up the family for a long time, but I didn't bring it up back then due to health reasons. Things are different now, and I didn't think about bringing it up after the Spring Examination."

"In other words, even though we want to separate, we can't initiate the process. We have to be forced to do so!"

After hearing these words, Minister Lan's expression improved a little.

"You're lucky you're still sane and didn't follow them in their mischief! Tell me, what are your plans?"

"A few days ago, thanks to my sister-in-law, I was able to have a former imperial physician examine my pulse. He actually got some great news: the medicine has been found."

As soon as Fu Zhiyi finished speaking, the Lan family became excited.

"What did you say? Where?"

"The miracle doctor said that the medicine had appeared in Baiyue. It was unearthed in May and June every year. It would only be effective if used as medicine within three days of being unearthed." Fu Zhiyi answered honestly.

"Doesn't that mean you have to go to Baiyue in person?" Mrs. Lan exclaimed.

Fu Zhiyi nodded.

Everyone knows that the Baiyue people are located in a remote area, full of miasma, and have a tough folk character.

We don't speak the same language and we are thousands of miles apart.

Everyone was surprised and worried at the same time.

The surprise is that I finally know where the medicine is, and I can now detoxify myself.

But what is worrying is that Fu Zhiyi has to go there in person, thousands of miles away. What if something unexpected happens on the way?

Minister Lan quickly realized Fu Zhiyi's plan.

"So, if the Spring Examination goes well, you will ask to be sent to Baiyue for a post, right?"

In the phrase.

Fu Zhiyi nodded.

"I requested to be sent to Baiyue as an official. Firstly, I can treat illnesses and detoxify, and secondly, I can avoid the disputes in the Marquis' Mansion. If I am sent to a remote place as an official, I will basically be a seventh-rank county magistrate. A county magistrate thousands of miles away will not be of any help to the Marquis' Mansion—"

Having said that, there is no need to say more, everyone present understands.

The old marquis will not care about anyone who is of no help to the marquis's mansion.

He is no longer of any use and is far away from the capital. All he needs to do is wait for the dispute in the Marquis' Mansion to be finally decided.

I think the new Ningping Marquis will take the initiative to separate them out.

But Fu Zhiyi, who was sent out, will suffer.

However, in the eyes of Minister Lan, this was not hardship at all, but rather an experience.

He pondered for a moment and said, "This is a good thing. The princes in the capital are all old and ambitious. Who knows how much trouble they will cause. But Your Majesty still refuses to appoint a crown prince, and instead allows these princes to fight each other."

"After the Spring Examination, if you are able to pass, these newly minted scholars will be the targets of all forces."

"It's better to stay far away. Make some achievements and then come back. Who knows, by then, the crown prince may have emerged."

Minister Lan didn't say the rest, but his meaning was clear.

The plan has been decided, and everyone knows that Fu Zhiyi will be detoxified in about half a year. We have waited for so many years, who can't wait for another half a year?

I felt much more relaxed immediately.

There was really nothing much to talk about between Mr. Lan, Lan Zhifei and the third master.

Old Master Lan could only drag the third master to play chess to kill time.

Unexpectedly, the third master was a terrible chess player. After one game, Grandpa Lan broke two of his back teeth and barely managed to resist the urge to kick him out.

In the end, he simply pulled Lan Zhifei over and asked him to play chess with the third master.

For a moment, all three of them were in great pain.

After a lot of effort, someone finally came and said that the meal was ready. The three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They looked at each other and felt a sense of mutual understanding.

Leaving behind the chess pieces, the three men went back with unprecedented brisk steps.

The lunch was quite pleasant.

At least the third master's life was saved, even though he was forced to drink a lot of wine by Lan Zhifei and heard a lot of sarcastic words at the banquet.

But the third master was still moved to tears of gratitude, at least he survived to the end!

Be able to leave the Lan family alive!

After lunch, sitting in the carriage on the way back to the Marquis' Mansion, the Third Master, having survived the ordeal, burst into tears of gratitude towards the Lan family: "Mother Yun, thanks to you for speaking up for me in front of my father-in-law and my eldest brother-in-law, I was able to escape alive today!"

"We are an old married couple after all, and in the end, it is you, Yunniang, who cares about me!"

"Don't worry, Yunniang. I've figured it out now. I wasn't very capable before, but I'll listen to you from now on! After the New Year, I'll go and ask my father to separate the family!"
