After an hour of conversation, Xiao Fan had roughly understood the current situation.
The beautiful lady was Han Lingying, the eldest daughter of Han Dafu, a merchant from Jingyang County. She had married Xiao Fan three years ago when he had failed his scientific examination.
This marriage wasn't the right one. The descendant of a man from Lantian County, a standard wealthy family in the Great Tang, had married a lowly merchant woman.
Xiao Fan naturally felt that he had disgraced his family. For three years, he would rather hook up with other people than touch Han Lingying.
That was roughly what happened. Xiao Fan could understand. The feudal system killed people.
Han Lingying was still crying. Xiao Fan quickly comforted her,"Ying, don't cry. Crying too much will affect your body. You're such a beautiful girl, what if you get crow's feet from crying?”
Han Lingying was stunned. She looked at Xiao Fan and asked,"You…you care about me?"
Xiao Fan nodded and said,"It's only right that husband cares about his wife."”
" But you've never cared about me in the past three years. You've never said such heartfelt words to me. Sob…"
This is called self-righteous words? If it was in the future generations, they would at most call him a scumbag!
"Ying, can I call you Ying?"
Han Lingying blushed and whispered,""Yes."
"Um…Can you give me some food? I…am really hungry!"
Looking at Xiao Fan's embarrassment, Han Lingying chuckled and quickly left.
Wasn't this little girl pretty when she smiled? Why did he have to pull a long face every day?
Not long after, Han Lingying came back with a pot of fish.
In fact, it was just a bowl of dough lumps.
However, Xiao Fan was really hungry, so he did not care so much. He devoured the Huanhuan like a whirlwind.
"It tastes terrible!"
Han Lingying's eyes turned red again."Husband, are you deliberately looking for an excuse to divorce me?”
Xiao Fan was speechless.
What was this about? This thing was unpalatable. What did it have to do with divorcing his wife?
Xiao Fan comforted her with sweet words again, and Han Lingying smiled through her tears.
As they spoke, the butler walked over.
"Ah Lang, you're finally awake. That's great. The heavens have mercy on you. That's great!”
The old man was so excited that he danced around. It seemed that he was really loyal to the Xiao family.
"Fifth Uncle, did you come here to ask husband to sign?”Han Lingying immediately put on a dignified expression.
This formed a strong contrast with the delicate and pitiful little girl from a humble family just now.
This was how the mistress of the Xiao Manor should be.
Fifth Uncle Xiao nodded and said,"Madam, the merchants are already in the front hall. The people from the city department are also here. As long as Ah Lang goes to sign, the house and the land can be transferred."”
When Fifth Uncle Xiao said this, his face revealed a deep reluctance.
Without a home, how could they, the servants who had followed the Old Master for many years, live?
Han Xueying looked at Xiao Fan and sighed."Husband, let's go now."
Her family had been ruined by Xiao Fan. Over the years, Han Xueying had been borrowing money from her family to give Xiao Fan a good time. Now, she was too ashamed to continue borrowing from her family.
How could Xiao Fan not see the disappointment in the two of them?
Today's situation was all caused by him…No, it was caused by that scum!
Xiao Fan gritted his teeth and said,"I'm not selling the house and land!"”
"Husband, our family owes a lot of money to the outside world," Han Xueying said."People come to the Xiao Mansion every day to ask for money. We can't pay them back."”
"Our Xiao family has a noble title. We can lose everything. We can't lose our integrity!”
" Also, there's the 10,000 strings of Guan that Young Duke Cheng gave us. If we really cause a ruckus, His Majesty might remove our titles in a fit of anger…"
Han Lingying kept talking, and Xiao Fan knew what she was thinking.
It was not easy for the Xiao family to obtain this title. Their days could be a little bitter, but they definitely could not lose this thing that would protect their descendants.
Pa!
Xiao Fan slapped the table and shouted,"Are you the head of this family or am I the head? If I say I'm not selling, I'm not selling!"
Alright, let's carry out the scum to the end!
" Scum Points 1," the system's voice sounded again.
Han Lingying was frightened like a frightened bird, and Fifth Uncle Xiao's expression was ugly.
They had never seen such a powerful Xiao Fan.
"Isn't it just money? One by one, wasn't it easy to earn money? How can a living person die from holding their pee?"
"That person, Fifth Uncle, is it? Go and send away the City Department and the merchants. Tell them that we're not selling!”
"Yes, sir!" Fifth Uncle Xiao left in a daze.
Han Lingying burst into tears.
"Wifey, don't cry. Don't worry, with me around, earning money isn't difficult.”
She was still crying, obviously not believing him.
Could he believe it? She was more certain than anyone that Xiao Fan was a prodigal. But to earn money? Who would believe that maggots would grow in a salt vat?
"If you cry again, I'll divorce you!"
" Scum Points 1," the system's voice sounded again.
It worked. Han Lingying stopped crying.
Xiao Fan was very satisfied. This was the good thing about feudal society.
He might be bragging, but how was he going to earn money?
Thinking of the noodles that Han Lingying had sent over, Xiao Fan suddenly had an idea. He would start with the delicious food!
