Fang Yao stood up, took a few steps, and said condescendingly to the old prime minister, "Fortunately, I was worried about Shen Zhaojiang and gave her two maids with some skills. Otherwise, she would have died at the hands of the three of them. With your ability, it is not difficult to find out the truth of these things. You can ask as much as you want. If anything I say is false, you can come to my house and fight me. I will not say anything. Originally, I was too lazy to bother with this mess of women and children in the backyard. I didn't expect that Zhao, seeing that she couldn't kill my Li'er, had no other choice but to set her sights on the Fang family."

"She felt that it was the Fang family's support that made Li'er so difficult to manipulate, and she hated the Fang family. So, when Madam Shen II was sending those antique bottles and jars to my house, she colluded with Duke Chongguo and secretly hid the letter in the antiques, intending to harm our entire Fang family. Duke Chongguo also placed his own people in the antique shop at the Guanyong Marquis's mansion. When I went to ask someone to come and appraise the antiques, Duke Chongguo's people sneaked into the general's mansion. Duke Chongguo was worried that the letter your daughter had hidden had been tampered with, so he had that person put a new one in and secretly took this letter out."

"Old Prime Minister, that man is still imprisoned by me. I haven't sent him to the Ministry of Justice yet. If you don't believe what I said, you can go and ask him yourself. Also, don't tell me you don't know how your two grandchildren came from. If you couldn't tell when they were young, how can you tell when they grow up? Those two children should be ten years old this year, but I have inquired and they are exactly thirteen years old. When my sister was still in the capital, your daughter had an affair with me, Shen Zhaojiang, and gave birth to two bastards. They were hidden in a villa in the suburbs. It wasn't until two or three years after your daughter married Shen Zhaojiang that they dared to bring them out to the public."

"Anyone with eyes would have muttered something about this little thing, but it's just because of your power and your daughter's shamelessness that no one has spoken out. Now that you've read this letter, I've run out of patience with your daughter, so I'm just going to say this today. From now on, if she dares to even think of harming anyone again, I won't show any respect to anyone and will make her, and those two bastards, suffer a fate worse than death!"

No one had ever dared to utter such threatening words in front of the old prime minister, but Fang Yao said it today, and his words were sonorous and cold, without any mercy.

Fortunately, the housekeeper thought from the beginning that the two of them had something important to discuss and drove everyone out. Otherwise, how could the old prime minister face people?

Just now he was scolding his daughter on the road for not daring to say a word when someone came to threaten her, and in the blink of an eye it was his turn.

It wasn't that he didn't dare to refute or get angry, but that he was burning with anger but couldn't vent it on Fang Yao.

His old face flushed red, and his breath was stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down. His heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, and his face turned pale with pain. He was about to fall off the chair.

Fang Yao shouted, "Someone come here."

The housekeeper ran in from outside. Seeing the old prime minister's appearance, his face turned pale with fear and he shouted, "Quickly call the court doctor, the court doctor come quickly."

The Prime Minister's Mansion was suddenly in chaos.

Fang Yao picked up the letter on the table and put it back into his sleeve pocket. Without even saying goodbye, he left the Prime Minister's Mansion with his hands behind his back.

By the time Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao heard the news that their father had fallen ill and rushed back, the old prime minister had already woken up.

As soon as he saw the two sisters, the old prime minister was furious. He grabbed the medicine bowl on the bedside table and threw it at them. If the housekeeper had not been quick to block it, the two ladies would have been injured today. How could that be?

The two sisters hurried out and came to their mother's yard.

After asking around, they found out that Fang Yao had come to see their father. They didn't know what they said, but it made their father so angry that they almost got into trouble as well.

Little Zhao felt both hatred and fear in her heart. This feeling had existed since Fang Yao was released from house arrest and was demoted instead. When she saw the look her father gave her today, the feeling of fear was even stronger.

Nothing was found in Fang Yao's house, which showed that the letter was no longer there.

Was it Fang Yao who discovered it and took it out?

There is no information on the letter. He probably doesn't know that he put it in there, right?

According to her idea at the time, if Fang Yao found the letter slandering the Fang family, she should have believed that Mrs. Shen had framed her and should have smashed the second house to pieces.

Why didn't he do that?

The more she thought about it, the more uncertain she became. Her father was furious, but she didn't dare ask, leaving her feeling anxious and restless.

Especially during this period, she thought she had it all figured out, and went out to arrange for Shen Li to marry a widower. She was afraid that Fang Yao had already known about this and was ready to deal with her.

Seeing her younger sister fluttering like an ant on the hot pan, she was feeling restless. She was also feeling agitated, so she said angrily, "Why are you spinning around? It's making me dizzy. I don't know what's wrong with father today. He even scolded me on the way. We have to go over to check on him later. You'd better be careful. I can see that there's something wrong with father's eyes. He looks like he wants to eat you."

It would have been better if she didn't say it. Once she said it, Xiao Zhao became even more frightened.

After sitting for a while, he said he was not feeling well and made an excuse to leave in a hurry.

Da Zhao looked at her back and always felt that something was wrong. She asked her mother but she knew nothing. She had no choice but to go to her father herself. She was severely scolded again before she dared to leave.

The old prime minister asked the housekeeper to call the people who had brought Shen Li back to Beijing from the Shen Mansion that day. Without much trickery, Mother Li and the others told the whole story.

They said so many strange things had happened along the way that everyone thought it was Fang's ghost, and they were so frightened they didn't dare to attack again. Even so, Shen Li ate the food laced with cinnabar and became confused. After returning home, she behaved in many unusual ways. Later, she ate in her own courtyard, and they no longer had the opportunity to add anything to her food. Her mind gradually cleared, presumably because the remaining poison in her body had resolved itself.

The old prime minister was almost vomiting after hearing this.

These idiots, what is Fang’s ghost?

It might be the girl's own ability. She saw the tricks of these people and in order to vent her anger, she pretended to be a ghost and almost scared them to death.

Listen to what happened after she returned home. Which one didn't bring disaster to the person who plotted against her?

They can't even see this clearly and yet they want to plot against others. What a bunch of brainless idiots!

When Xiao Zhao woke up from her sleep, she heard that her father had sent someone to call Mother Li and the others over. Just when she didn't know what was going on, someone came from the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked her to go there immediately because the old Prime Minister had something to ask her.

Xiao Zhao's heart was pounding, and she quickly sent someone to inform Shen Zhaojiang, asking him to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick her up when he returned from the yamen.
