So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

Changing the subject, Cang Lan deliberately raised his voice, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the onlookers, and continued, "The divorce papers have already been registered in the government records, in black and white, clear as day. How could the General's Mansion possibly still have a young mistress?"

The surrounding people whispered and discussed among themselves.

"I never expected that this young master Fang, though a skilled warrior, would do such a thing behind the scenes."

"Yes, it's really pitiful for Miss Yun. Not only did her husband die on her wedding day, but she also received a divorce agreement. Anyone would be unlucky in this situation. It's too tragic!"

"Who exactly is the woman that Prince Fang likes?"

……

Seeing the enthusiastic response from the crowd, Canglan continued, "However, your young master shouldn't be sad. If he insists on going to the General's Mansion to recognize his adoptive mother, it's not impossible."

"Madam Fang, who has been widowed for many years, has now lost her son. The General's Mansion is in dire need of a son. If he goes there, he might actually be chosen by Madam Fang, and the General's Mansion will have a successor."

After saying that, she glanced meaningfully in the direction where Lin Shuang'er was.

Lin Shuang'er, hiding in the crowd, trembled as Cang Lan's gaze pierced her. She instinctively avoided Cang Lan's eyes, her hands tightly gripping the handkerchief in her hands until her knuckles turned white from the force.

What exactly is going on?

She had clearly calculated that Yun Muqing should be heartbroken and guilty right now, but why did she seem to show no sadness at all?

Would you still accept a divorce?

This was completely different from what she had expected. Yun Muqing should have been even more devoted to her cousin after seeing the divorce papers.

She is now distorting the truth on the street, steer public opinion in a direction unfavorable to herself!

What exactly happened? Did something happen to the Fang family?

That mother and daughter are utterly incompetent, more trouble than they're worth; they can't even handle the smallest things properly!

Upon hearing these words, Liu Chengze and Fangzhi, who were kneeling on the ground, lowered their heads, their eyes darting around, and they didn't dare to utter a sound.

They knew in their hearts that today's performance was likely to be a disaster.

Seeing that Lin Shuang'er had no intention of coming out, Cang Lan lost interest and turned to Lian Qiao, softly instructing, "Lian Qiao, lower the curtain."

Lian Qiao responded, deftly lowered the curtain, and then called out to the coachman, "Let's go back to the manor!"

When Canglan returned to the General's Mansion, he found the gate wide open and the mansion in a mess. When he returned to Shangqing Courtyard, he saw Fang and her daughter tied to chairs. Fang's hair was disheveled, and a few strands of hair fell awkwardly beside her bruised and swollen cheeks. Her clothes were also torn and wrinkled.

Fang Yuwan's face was already swollen from the beating, and now she was crying with snot and tears streaming down her face, making her look extremely ugly!

Canglan raised her eyebrows slightly, and before she could even ask a question, Granny Zhang rushed over with a fawning smile on her face.

"My lady, you're finally back!" Granny Zhang said, exaggeratingly patting her chest as if she had just escaped a disaster. "The scene just now was absolutely chaotic, a complete mess!"

Canglan: "Oh!"

Granny Zhang quickly swallowed and began to tell the story vividly: "Your Highness, the Madam and Miss are thinking of selling off those disobedient servants. These people are always cunning and causing trouble, which has given their masters a lot of worry."

But who could have predicted that as soon as the words were spoken, the servants would be like a powder keg set on fire, instantly overwhelmed by rage.

They swarmed around them all at once, beating and cursing the lady and young lady. The poor lady and young lady were unarmed and had no chance to defend themselves!

"And then?" Canglan's voice remained calm, devoid of any emotion.

Granny Zhang glanced at Canglan's face and continued, "Those wicked servants not only attacked the madam and young lady, but also stole the indentures from the mansion. They swept away all the money and valuables they could carry, and then disappeared without a trace."

"I was so frightened my legs went weak. I could only hide in a corner and wait until they were all gone before I dared to come out. Princess, what are we going to do now?"

Before Canglan could respond, Granny Zhang seemed to suddenly wake up from a dream, slapped her forehead, exclaimed "Oh dear!" and quickly ran over to untie Fang and her daughter.

She frantically untied the ropes, muttering, "What a terrible memory I have! I was so busy complaining to the county magistrate that I forgot to untie the madam and young lady. I deserve to die!"

After the ropes were untied, Fang Yuwan rubbed her wrists, which were red from being tied up, and flew into a rage, cursing loudly: "Those lowly bastards, how dare they lay a hand on me and make liberties with me! When I catch them, I will cut them into a thousand pieces, skin them alive and pull out their tendons!"

Even though Madam Fang was shrewd and calculating, she never expected to be beaten like this by the servants of her household. At that moment, she could only take a deep breath and try to swallow her anger and calm herself down.

"Your Highness, we beg you to intervene in this matter and implore the government to help apprehend these wicked servants. It's a small matter that they stole the indentures and money, but their blatant disregard for the law and their insubordination are a serious offense. If they are not punished, won't the world descend into chaos?"

"Tsk! You want me to make the decisions?"

More than an hour has passed now; those people have long since fled outside the city. Not only are their indentures gone, but there's no way to trace them.

She paused slightly, glanced at the Fang mother and daughter, and said in a light and slightly sarcastic tone, "Oh dear, those servants are indeed despicable, but things have come to this point, so why not just let it go and consider it as accumulating some good karma for the young master Fang in the underworld, what do you say?"

Fang's eyes widened instantly, as if she was about to die of anger.

But Canglan didn't even glance at her, turning around and walking into the house, leaving behind only a light "I'm tired, I'm going back to my room to rest."

Fang was so angry that she trembled all over. With a "thud," she fell straight backward. If it weren't for Granny Zhang's quick eyes and hands, she would have fallen hard.

After a while, Fang Shi slowly woke up, looking weakly at Zhang Pozi, her voice weak but with a hint of urgency: "How is the manor now?"

Granny Zhang lowered her head, her expression somewhat evasive, and stammered, "Madam, everything that you and Miss have can be taken has been robbed by those wicked servants."

Now, apart from the county princess's courtyard, the rest of the mansion has been completely looted. All the servants have vanished, leaving only this humble servant here to guard it.

Upon hearing this, Fang felt a buzzing in her head, and her already drowsy mind became even more confused.

Forcing herself to stay awake, she first touched her hair. The red phoenix hairpin with kingfisher feathers and pearls that had been in her hair was gone. This hairpin was part of her dowry. It took countless manpower and resources to make it. The pearls on it were all round and large, and the kingfisher feathers were bright and dazzling. It was exquisite and had attracted the envy of countless noblewomen.

Where is my red phoenix facing the sun hairpin adorned with kingfisher feathers and pearls?

She yelled at the top of her lungs, her voice so sharp it seemed to pierce the air.
