Chapter 293: Set up

That night, something shocking happened in Yufu Tower.

Meng Yuan Chao, the owner of the largest pier in Shuangliu County, had gotten drunk and there was actually a female guest who climbed into his bed! After she woke up, the female guest cried and screamed endlessly…

As soon as Fang Qing heard the news, she went to find Fang Yao and Liu Rong. In the wing room, Fang Hui was weeping and crying.

When Fang Yao saw Fang Qing, his face was flushed and he was almost too ashamed to face her.

She sighed and comforted him with a few words, telling him to take good care of Fang Hui, don’t let there be any more accidents. As soon as it was morning, she would send someone to pick up their father and mother to discuss the matter. She repeatedly assured him that Meng Yuan Chao was not an unreasonable person and that the matter would be resolved properly.

Hearing this, Fang Yao was even more embarrassed, wishing he could just sinking into the ground. Blushing, he said: “Eldest sister, thank you! It’s all the fault of that shameless girl who would do such humiliating things! Eldest sister, if you didn’t—”

Fang Qing smiled generously and said softly: “We’re all family, don’t talk about it! Your brother-in-law is drunk, I have to go back and take care of him, I can’t stay any longer. You two will have to work hard tonight!”

Fang Yao and Liu Rong naturally agreed and walked Fang Qing out.

Unexpectedly, the sobbing Fang Hui heard Fang Qing walking by and desperately rushed out of the room, cursing her, and even tried to attack her face, repeatedly saying that she had set her up!

Fang Yao had already clearly heard the entire story from Bao’er and was very disgusted with Fang Hui’s unruly behavior. It was obvious that the only one to blame was Fang Hui’s over-cleverness! At this time, seeing that his younger sister had the face to try and make trouble with their elder sister, he couldn’t help but become furious.

He rushed up to Fang Hui and shouted, ‘Hey! Hey!’ before two crisp slaps knocked her screaming to the ground. She lay there pitifully for a moment and the scene went silent.

Fang Hui’s cheeks were red and swollen and her brain was buzzing. Dumbfounded, she stared up at Fang Yao and opened her mouth to curse at him when Fang Yao screamed: “Shut up!” An older maid escorted her back to her room while Fang Yao apologized to Fang Qing.

Fang Qing sneered in her heart, but her face only showed a sad, unbearable look. She shook her head softly and said: “I can understand, she’s very ashamed. She has no choice but to lash out! Ah Rong, please follow along and look after her, I’m afraid she won’t want to see me right now! I’m going back first.”

Liu Rong quickly agreed, saying goodbye and turning around to leave. Fang Yao saw that his elder sister had been wronged but was still so magnanimous and felt guilty to death. He wanted to say sorry but was a little confused on how to say it, so he respectfully saw her out.

When Fang Qing returned home, the ‘drunk’ young master of the Su family, Su Jing He, was resting lazily on the soft couch in their home, turning the pages of a priceless painting in his hand. From time to time, he would look up in the direction of the curtain, waiting for his wife to return.

Hearing the maid call ‘the young lady is back!’, he threw the scroll in his hand aside casually and got up with a smile.

As soon as Fang Qing came in, Shuang Ling immediately retreated to get tea, leaving Su Jing He to pull his wife into an embrace. He couldn’t wait to take credit, smiling as he said: “What do you think? I did a good job, right? That cheap girl finally got what she deserved!”

Fang Qing smiled: “You conspired with Brother Meng? Hm, won’t this be wronging her?”

Su Jing He sneered: “Third Young Master Meng is a good man, his family’s business is quite rich. If not for you, could she dare to calculate this lord? This lord would have already thrown her to some lowly place! Still wanting to marry well, she’s dreaming!”

Fang Qing thought for a while, then nodded. Sighing, she said: “That’s true too!”

Su Jing He smiled: “You don’t need to feel guilty. Although this young master played tricks on her, she wouldn’t have been fooled if she didn’t already have a crooked mind. After all, she asked for it! Third Young Master Meng is a nice person with a good temper. What’s more, you can be assured that in the future, Brother Meng has some ways to clean her up so she’ll be obedient and never dare bother you again! Third Young Master Meng’s wife is a sturdy woman with a clever mind, she’ll keep her in line. Hmph, letting her marry into this family is too good for her! I also had to promise some good benefits to Brother Meng and his parents!”

Fang Qing listened to him quietly and then raised her head: “I don’t feel guilty, I’m just thinking out how to deal with my stepmother tomorrow. You must be joking! If she was a good one, she wouldn’t be fooled. Since she’s crooked, who can I blame? Why should I feel guilty? Is it possible to sit back and let someone steal my husband and then feel sorry when she fails?”

“…” Su Jing He’s eyes were shining brightly, his thin lips raised as he smiled: “Jealous woman!”

Fang Qing raised her eyebrows, looking angry.

Her husband was very happy and he hurriedly flattered her: “I like it!”

Fang Qing huffed, smiling. “It’s getting late, let’s settle it tomorrow…”

“Yes, it’s late, it’s late! Let’s settle it.” Su Jing He’s look was full of wicked intentions. He laughed and picked her up, walking out of the warm room. Obviously, his words, ‘settle it’, did not mean the same thing.

Although the two of them now had two children and were considered to be an old couple, they still did a lot of tricks in the bedroom. Fang Qing could only flush in his arms and lie still, not daring to look up!

After getting up the next day, Su Jing He was refreshed and Fang Qing’s face and eyes were so moist and tender they could drip water. After the two of them finished getting dressed, they played with their sons for a while and then took them over to Madam Su’s house for breakfast. They ate and dealt with a few family matters before going out together to Fang Yao’s house.

When the two arrived, Fang Qing’s father and Madam Ruan had obviously been there for a while.

It was clear that they had already heard about last night’s matter from Fang Yao and Bao’er and this was why Fang Qing had purposely come late.

The Fang couple were both furious, their expressions ugly and the atmosphere of the room solemn. They had likely been fighting before Fang Qing and Su Jing He arrived.

Fang Qing could take a guess: Likely her father was so angry that he yelled at Fang Hui while Madam Ruan blamed everything on Young Master Meng and Fang Qing, blaming her for not taking good care of her sister. Naturally, Fang Yao would interrupt so that all three of them would be accusing each other and making noise…

Seeing Fang Qing arrive, all dressed up and looking radiant, Madam Ruan almost burst with anger. Compared with the miserable appearance of her own daughter, she immediately felt that Fang Qing had come to watch a joke. How happy she must be to see her sister in a bad situation! An evil fire roared in her mind and she sat up, glaring at her fiercely: “You still have the face to come here! We’ve been here so long and yet you’re only showing up now? You’re so big! I leave your sister in your care and this is how you take care of her?”

In front of her husband, Madam Ruan was still a little cautious and could only curse ‘little bitch’ in her heart.

TN: I’m a tiny bit disappointed that the author did not go into detail about what Fang Hui got up to in the winehouse. How did SHJ trick her into sleeping with Meng Yuan Chao ? I’m sure it was hilarious!
