Chapter 230 A Merchant's Daughter Living as a Widow After Her Husband Fakes His Death (4)

For a moment, Fang Yuwan was stunned by Cang Lan's sudden aura and sharp words. Although there was still resentment in her eyes, she dared not act rashly again.

Fang Yuhong's deputy general was also taken aback by his general's new wife's unconventional behavior. He frowned and said to Cang Lan with a slightly anxious expression, "Madam, General Fang has really passed away, and his body will arrive at the Fang residence tonight."

As he spoke, he quickly handed over the letter that Fang Yuhong had given him before his death, saying, "This is a letter from General Fang to you."

Canglan casually took the letter, glanced at it, and found only a divorce agreement and a few bland words. Then he said indifferently, "I understand."

The deputy general had expected Yun Muqing to be heartbroken or at least show some sadness, but her calm and indifferent attitude surprised him greatly.

At this moment, the festive music outside finally stopped.

Seeing this, the lieutenant thought that this new lady seemed quite formidable, so he hurriedly declined, saying, "Madam, I have fulfilled my duties and delivered the letter to you. I have other important matters to attend to in the army, so I will take my leave now." After saying this, he left in a hurry, fearing that staying any longer would draw him into the chaotic situation of the Fang family.

Afterwards, Cang Lan raised her eyes to look at the guests who were still watching the commotion, slightly raised her chin, and spoke in a clear but undeniably authoritative voice: "Although General Fang and I have not yet held a wedding ceremony, I am now married into the Fang family. At this moment, Madam Fang is unwell and unable to take charge of the affairs of the household, so naturally I will be in charge of the matters in this mansion."

"Distinguished guests, your presence today has not been in vain. Not only has the Fang family hosted a banquet, but our Yun family has also prepared one. Although the Yun family are merchants, we understand the art of hospitality."

Upon hearing this, the guests were taken aback at first, but then their faces lit up with joy. After all, they had already watched the excitement. After whispering among themselves, they quickly headed towards the Yun family's residence, and soon all of them had left.

Fang Yuwan was so angry that her face turned red. She stomped her foot and pointed at Cang Lan, saying loudly, "Now that you've married into our Fang family, how can you expect guests to hold a banquet at your own home? This is outrageous! It's utterly ridiculous!"

Cang Lan seemed not to hear her. She calmly found a seat, elegantly straightened her sleeves, and said indifferently, "I have money, and I'm happy to do it!"

Then, Cang Lan casually pointed to a maid, her gaze falling on her with a hint of scrutiny: "You, lead the way to the courtyard that General Fang prepared for our wedding." As she spoke, she took off an earring and threw it in front of the maid, "This earring is a reward for you."

The maid was flattered and quickly picked up the earring, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, Madam, I will take you there right away."

So, Canglan led her servants from the Yun family in a grand procession toward the courtyard, looking nothing like a widow who had just lost her husband.

Meanwhile, Madam Fang was feigning unconsciousness, lying on the couch listening to the commotion outside.

When she heard the music, which had stopped, start playing again, she knew something was wrong and immediately sent Granny Zhang to the front hall to find out what was going on.

A moment later, Granny Zhang rushed back, embellishing the story as she recounted what had happened in the front hall: "Madam, you didn't see it! That Yun Muqing is absolutely outrageous! Our young master just left, and she doesn't show any sign of sadness at all. She's even making a big show of continuing the wedding!"

She even hit the young lady! Isn't that blatant disrespect for you and the young master? She has absolutely no manners whatsoever; a merchant's daughter, she's utterly ill-mannered, probably hasn't even learned basic etiquette!

Upon hearing this, Madam Fang trembled with rage. She slammed her hand on the table and roared, "Outrageous! This is unacceptable! She's just a newlywed bride, and she's already so presumptuous on her very first day. We must teach her a lesson and show her who's in charge here!" With that, she got up and started to leave.

Granny Zhang quickly stopped her, saying, "Madam, you just woke up (fainted), why don't you rest first?"

Madam Fang flung her hand away and said, "What rest?! How can I swallow this insult!"

The two hurried outside, but were dumbfounded when they reached the front hall. All the once lively guests were gone, and the entire Fang residence was deserted.

When Fang Yuwan saw her mother come out, she immediately rushed over, crying and saying, "Mother, you don't know, that bitch Yun Muqing, she actually dared to hit me! She doesn't care about you or our Fang family at all!"

Madam Fang looked around and asked sternly, "Where is Yun Muqing? Where are the guests? Where have they all gone?"

Fang Yuwan then stammered, "Yun Muqing... she ordered people to take those people to my brother's courtyard, and... and those guests, she invited them all to the Yun residence for a banquet..."

Upon hearing this, Madam Fang's face turned ashen. If her son hadn't been faking his death, she would have skinned him alive!

She gritted her teeth and said, "You, Yun Muqing, you dare to act like this while I'm still alive! You don't take me seriously at all!"

Thinking of this, Madam Fang slammed her hand on the table, making the teacups on it shake, and shouted, "Granny Zhang, you order someone to bring Yun Muqing here right now! This Fang mansion is not for a lowly merchant's daughter to call the shots!"

Upon hearing this, Granny Zhang's face instantly revealed a smug look. She puffed out her plump chest and replied, "Yes, Madam, don't worry, this old servant will go and bring her back to you right away, so she can know who the real mistress of this mansion is!"

Having said that, he swayed his thick waist and hurriedly called a group of maids, heading towards Shangqing Courtyard where Canglan was.

As soon as Granny Zhang and her party reached the entrance of the hall, they were blocked by several burly men guarding the entrance of the garden.

These burly men were hired by Yun's father specifically to protect his daughter. They were all tall and strong, with solid muscles and a fierce killing intent in their eyes.

Granny Zhang, used to relying on her master's power, didn't take them seriously at all. She raised her head, her nostrils almost pointing to the sky, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "You lot, hurry up and call Yun Muqing out here! I am ordered by the Madam to have her go to the front hall to pay her respects to the Madam immediately!"

However, these guards had already received Cang Lan's orders that anyone who dared to cause trouble should be beaten out.

Before Granny Zhang could finish speaking, several guards began punching and kicking her and the maids.

Before long, Granny Zhang and the others were beaten black and blue, and ran back to the front hall in a sorry state.

Seeing this, Madam Fang was so angry she almost fainted. Pointing at Granny Zhang and the others, her fingers trembling with rage, she yelled, "You useless wretch! You can't even catch one person! You're utterly worthless!"

Granny Zhang covered her face, wincing in pain, and cried out, "Madam, that Yun Muqing even brought his guards into the mansion! We were no match for them!"
