Chapter 247 A Merchant's Daughter Living as a Widow After Her Husband Fakes His Death (21)

Cang Lan sneered inwardly, but feigned ignorance on the surface, putting on a suspicious look. Her gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Madam Fang, where she deliberately shook her head and sighed, "Madam Fang, what can I say..."

She frowned slightly, her eyes filled with disappointment and frustration.

"Even if you've been a widow for many years, it's not impossible for you to secretly seek some pleasure and find a few male prostitutes. But look at you, how could you find someone like this? He's really... not presentable at all!"

Fang Shi and Fang Yuhong's faces instantly turned ashen. Fang Shi's lips trembled slightly, clearly angered by these words.

But she suppressed her anger and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, saying, "Princess, you've misunderstood. This is my son, Yu Hong. How could you not recognize him?"

Cang Lan slightly raised her eyes, her gaze seemingly casually sweeping over Fang Yu Hong, her tone full of suspicion: "Madam, even if he looks somewhat similar to Prince Fang, Prince Fang is already dead, and we all witnessed his burial. Could it be that you've been deceived by someone?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuwan's face flushed red with anxiety. She stepped forward and said urgently, "Princess, this really is my elder brother! My elder brother was forced to do this back then..."

Madam Fang quickly chimed in, "Wan'er is right, Your Highness. Rest assured, my son will give you a fair explanation."

At this moment, Fang Yuhong finally spoke, his voice slightly hoarse and carrying a deliberate air of deep affection: "Muqing, I really am Yuhong, I am not dead."

Cang Lan's eyes widened suddenly, feigning extreme shock, and she raised her voice: "How is that possible? I personally watched you being buried!"

Fang Yuhong's face showed a look of utter grief. She lowered her head and her voice was choked with sobs: "Qing'er, I was seriously injured at the time and was already... unable to... perform sexual acts."

I... thinking that I've become such a useless person, how could I be worthy of you? That's why I resorted to this desperate measure. But now, I never imagined that after my 'death,' the General's Mansion would fall into such ruin.

Besides, I've been poisoned and probably won't live much longer. This family desperately needs a man to hold things together; I can't just stand by and watch our family fall apart.

Fang gave Fang Yuwan a wink, and the two understood each other perfectly.

Fang then said, "Alright, alright, you two have a good chat, we won't disturb you any longer." With that, the mother and daughter left, closing the door behind them.

The door closed slowly, the dull sound echoing in the quiet room.

Seeing that no one was around, Fang Yuhong immediately put on a deeply affectionate expression, his eyes filled with "longing," his brows slightly furrowed, revealing a bitter look, and said in a pretentious manner:

"Qing'er, I thought I would never have the chance to see you again in this lifetime. I have been thinking of you day and night."

Canglan felt nauseous looking at his pretentious act, and goosebumps rose all over her body.

She raised an eyebrow imperceptibly, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes, and said sarcastically, "Is that so?"

Fang Yuhong had thought that Yun Muqing would be moved by his sincerity, burst into tears, and embrace him affectionately. The reunion scene that he had rehearsed countless times in his mind was shattered by her cold reaction.

This was completely different from what he had imagined. For a moment, he was stunned, but he quickly came to his senses.

He took a step forward, a fawning smile plastered on his face, and said urgently, "Qing'er, don't you still trust me? I know you may not have forgiven me for my decision back then."

But when I discovered I was impotent, all I felt was despair. I love you so much, how could I bear to burden you and make you live a life of widowhood with me?

I know that, given your personality, you certainly wouldn't want to adopt someone else's child and sever our Fang family bloodline. Therefore, after much deliberation, I decided to fake my death, leaving behind a divorce agreement, hoping you can go and find your own happiness.

Immediately, Cang Lan's lips curled into a mocking smile, his eyes filled with disdain, "Hmph, then why is what you're saying different from what I know?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuhong stiffened abruptly, a look of panic flashed across her face, and her eyes began to dart away.

However, he quickly regained his composure and said urgently, "Qing'er, you must believe me! Someone is definitely stirring things up behind your back and spreading rumors in front of you. Don't believe those rumors. My sincerity towards you is as clear as day!"

Looking at Fang Yuhong's ugly face, Canglan felt a chill and goosebumps rose all over her body.

Without saying a word, she slapped Fang Yuhong hard across the face.

The slap sent Fang Yuhong spinning halfway around, and he staggered several steps before regaining his balance. Two of his teeth were knocked out.

Cang Lan crossed her arms, her eyes so cold they could freeze a person, and approached Fang Yuhong step by step, "On the day of the spring outing, Lin Shuang'er deliberately pushed me into the water, and then you staged a hero-saves-the-beauty scene, all for the sake of coveting my Yun family's wealth, planning to use my dowry to fill your Fang family's deficit!"

At this point, a fierce glint flashed in Cang Lan's eyes, and she slapped Fang Yuhong again with her backhand. This slap was even harder than the previous one, and Fang Yuhong was knocked to the ground again.

"That's not enough. You actually dared to expect me to support your bastard child with her and take my money to live a carefree life outside."

"Tell me, how should I deal with you all?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuhong's face turned ashen. "You...you knew all along?"

"Hmph! What, surprised? Or do you find the feeling of dying in a coffin enjoyable? Hahahaha..."

Fang Yuhong glared angrily at Cang Lan and roared, "It was you! You blocked the air vent in the coffin, almost suffocating me inside!"

“That’s right, it’s me. And that’s not all…”

She deliberately dragged out her words, her eyes full of mockery, looking at Fang Yuhong as if she were looking at a dying ant.

Fang Yuhong's head buzzed, and he instantly understood everything.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he roared like a mad beast, "You were the one who put those poisonous snakes and insects into the coffin!"

Cang Lan's lips curled up, and she snapped her fingers lightly, her tone full of teasing: "You guessed it! Young Master Fang, who can't have sex, how does this feel?"

Fang Yuhong was completely enraged. His mental state was already unstable due to his inability to have sex, and now, stimulated by Cang Lan, he completely lost his reason.

He roared, "I'll kill you!" With that, he lunged at Cang Lan, baring his teeth and claws, trying to strangle her.

But Canglan reacted extremely quickly. The instant he pounced, she swiftly pulled a simple hairpin from her hair.

A flash of cold light appeared, and the hairpin pierced Fang Yuhong's temple with incredible speed.

With a "plop," the hairpin pierced straight through his head. Cang Lan pulled it out sharply, and blood spurted out like a fountain, some of it even splashing onto the corner of Cang Lan's eye.

Fang Yuhong stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her eyes still filled with anger and resentment, before collapsing to the ground with a thud.
