Chapter 133: Is It Okay or Not?

Translator: Mango Cat  Editor: DarkGem

Something happened?

Something happened over where Chengyu was .

Old Lady Fang’s teacup fell, her face white as she stood up .

What happened?

Her lips were moving, but she couldn’t even ask this .

Her heart was beating something fierce, just like when she had heard that her husband had passed from sickness, like when she had heard that her son had been attacked .

She wanted to faint, like many other women .

She almost wished she could die like this, free from sorrow and worry .

But she couldn’t .

What happened?

Other people didn’t need to tell her . She would go herself .

No matter what happened, she would not fall . She would stand firmly, until the King of Hell came to get her .

Old Lady Fang took big strides outside .

She would go see what happened to her grandson, her Chengyu .

Old Lady Fang could run speedily while remaining steady but Lady Fang could not . She was crying while running .

"Lady, Lady, don’t be anxious," Concubine Yuan said, focused on her, lest she fall down .

"Didn’t she say she could cure him? Didn’t she say she could cure him?" sobbed Lady Fang, staggering forward .

As expected, she took that lie seriously . Thought Concubine Yuan .

How could he be cured, how could Jun Zhenzhen cure Fang Chengyu .

But saying something like that had no meaning now .

"Lady, don’t be anxious . The servant girls didn’t say it clearly," she consulted . "It might be nothing . "

"Young Lady is also there," Concubine Su comforted .

What was the use of her being there . She might just be tormenting Young Master .

Concubine Yuan glared at Concubine Su .

Concubine Su sensed her slip and lowered her head . She shouldn’t say too much, otherwise she would be more likely to say something wrong .

Lady Fang did not catch their mistake . Her heart was already in shambles .

As they were pressing forward, some other girls came running up alongside of them . It was the Fang sisters .

"Didn’t they say he would live to fifteen? He’s only fourteen now!" Fang Chengyu said, tears pouring .

Fang Yuxiu felt a thick medicinal scent waft by her nose .

Yes, fourteen years was not that long, but there was also the marriage, the change of medicine, the acupuncture .

‘This kind of torment could shorten one’s lifespan,’ she thought, but the words wouldn’t come out of her mouth .

She looked over at Fang Jinxiu .

Fang Jinxiu was not crying . Her face was taut, and she was biting her lip . Since she stared running after she heard the servants’ distressed shouts, she hadn’t said anything .

She actually did not say anything condemning Jun Zhenzhen .

This was shocking .

It seemed that in the two times she went out with Jun Zhenzhen, whatever she did made Fang Jinxiu like her .

People would always have more faith in the people they liked .

Actually, this wasn’t about anyone hating anyone .

If she really wanted to condemn someone, she should be cursing Old Heavenly Father .

The Old Heavenly Father was far too unfair to have them face so much death .

Fang Yuxiu turned her eyes to Lady Fang, who was being supported by Concubine Yuan .

Although she had been prepared before, when her son was about to lose his life, a mother couldn’t bear it .

Fang Yuxiu sped up and supported Lady Fang’s other arm .

Old Lady Fang had already crossed into Fang Chengyu’s courtyard .

The servants there were milling about while Liu’er’s curses were coming from inside .

"Miss Liu’er, please stop cursing and take them away," suggested an older servant .

"Take them away? What’s the use of that? She did such shameless things for other people to see," she shouted . "Come come, take her out, put her in the courtyard, don’t let her wear clothes . "

The cries in the room became more cutting, followed by the sounds of banging tables and chairs .

"Stop," came Fang Chengyu’s voice .

Fang Chengyu’s voice? And his voice was clearly forceful, no sign of impending death .

Old Lady Fang was stunned for a moment .

Could it be that nothing had happened to Fang Chengyu?

All of the servants started shouting "Old Lady is here!" in the courtyard .

"Old Lady," said one of the servants, her expression awkward . "There's something I need to say . "

Old Lady Fang did not pay attention to her and impatiently walked in .

A servant girl ran out from the room in front of her, scaring Old Lady Fang almost to the loss of her balance .

What was going on?

Liu’er ran back in holding several feather dusters .

"I’ll beat you to death for being so shameless," she shrieked .

What was going on?

Old Lady Fang grabbed onto Liu’er .

"What are you doing?" she demanded .

Liu’er wouldn’t take anything lying down . When she saw Old Lady Fang grabbing onto her, she got even more worked up .

"What are you doing? Your grandson cheated on his spouse, are you going to protect him? This is not some simple matter," she shouted .

Cheated?

Old Lady Fang was stunned again .

"What cheating?"

Lady Fang stumbled in, supported by Concubine Yuan and Fang Yuxiu . Tears laced her tone .

"What cheating? Are you playing stupid, don’t you know what cheating means? Then I’ll tell you, the good son you raised has been married for only a bit and has already taken a servant girl to his bed!" Liu’er brandished the feather dusters wildly .

Took a servant girl to his bed .

Old Lady Fang and Lady Fang looked into the room .

The beaded curtains had been torn apart . They saw a girl kneeling on the ground, her hair down .

She was messily wrapped in a bedsheet, exposing her smooth shoulders and calves .

Everybody’s gaze moved again . Fang Chengyu was also only wearing a sheet, lazily lying on the bed, exposing his arms and thighs .

It was obvious . . .

‘It really made you want to stab your eyes . Seeing two of this kind of filthy things in a row,’ thought Fang Jinxiu .

Her gaze fell back on the servant girl, the faint marks on her exposed shoulders . With her sobbing and trembling, the bed sheet had slid down, exposing everything beneath .

This exposed a lot more than Lin Jin’er had .

Fang Jinxiu scoffed internally then looked back at Fang Chengyu .

Even if this was her blood-related brother, it was no good for her to see this . She turned around .

Fang Yuxiu and Fang Yunxiu also responded quickly, retreating with red faces .

Old Lady Fang and Lady Fang weren’t young maidens . They did not blush or feel ashamed . Their expressions turned strange, a mash-up of shock, happiness, hesitancy, and sorrow .

"So Young Master hasn’t died," mumbled Concubine Yuan . "This is okay . "

"What are you saying, died, okay?"

Came Miss Jun’s voice from behind .

Fang Jinxiu involuntarily went to stop her .

"Don’t go in," she blurted out .

Miss Jun gave her a look of incomprehension . Fang Jinxiu acted like she hadn’t said anything .

Fang Yunxiu and Fang Yuxiu lowered their heads before her in embarrassment .

"Zhenzhen, this is a misunderstanding…" Lady Fang said uneasily .

No matter if they said this was a fake marriage, outsiders didn’t know . Everybody knew Miss Jun was Young Lady Fang .

Her own husband and a servant girl were in such a situation in a room . This was a slap in the face to the wife .

Lady Fang wanted to cover it up, but Liu’er had already pounced on her crying .

"Young Miss, Young Master committed adultery . Your peaches were plucked[1] . "

She sobbed .

This shout resounded through heaven and earth . Everyone’s expressions turned complicated .

The phrase "plucked peaches" obviously sealed the whole matter . As expected, it was all in order so that Young Master could perform . No wonder he was subjected to such torment everyday .

But they hadn’t thought that the torment would take this long, and that the one Young Master would bring to bed would be a servant girl .

This was like your painstakingly grown peaches were plucked by someone else .

When Miss Jun heard what Liu’er said, her face showed surprise . She peered inside .

She saw Lingzhi on the ground, trembling uncontrollably . The girl immediately kowtowed .

"Young Lady, spare me, spare my life," she sobbed .

No one said anything . Fang Chengyu smiled .

"You are begging the wrong person . Now, you are my person . Your life is mine . Why are you begging her? What can she do?" he said with a smile .

Fang Chengyu looked at Miss Jun look at him, her brows wrinkled slightly .

The scheme you wracked your brains for was usurped by someone else, that couldn’t feel too good .

He thought, the smile in his eyes deepening .

You came to take status, but another outsmarted you .

Miss Jun frowned .

"Plucked peach?" she said, her gaze sweeping over Fang Chengyu . "Your peach is ripe?"

What was he saying .

Concubine Yuan couldn't stop a burst of laughter from escaping .

Fang Jinxiu covered her face, while Fang Chengyu was embarrassed and angered .
