Chapter 220: Ah Sheng, Let’s Go and Watch the Show
Qiao Jiusheng had just finished drawing her eyes, nose, and lips when she suddenly heard footsteps.
Upon hearing this heavyweight commotion, Qiao Jiusheng guessed that the newcomer was Aunt Jin.
Before they could turn around, Aunt Jin roared.
“Oh my god! Oh my god! Young Master Yusheng, Madam, I heard that Second Young Master and Young Madam divorced!”
Fang Mu had divorced his wife. This was big news.
When Aunt Jin had passed by the main building just now, she had unintentionally heard the servants gossip about this in private. The news shocked her so much that she did not even buy groceries and ran back to deliver the news with an empty basket.
Qiao Jiusheng raised her eyebrows in surprise.
She turned her head to look at Fang Yusheng and realized that he also seemed surprised.
“There’s going to be a good show.”
Fang Yusheng smiled and blinked at Qiao Jiusheng. He gloatingly smiled. “Aunt Jin, can the silkworm beans in the courtyard be picked already?”
Aunt Jin was stunned.
What’s the connection between picking silkworm beans and Second Young Master’s divorce?
However, she still replied, “They can be picked.” She was still planning to stir-fry a plate of silkworm beans tonight.
“Please pick half a basket. I’ll send it to Dad.”
Aunt Jin hurriedly grabbed the basket to pick the silkworm beans.
After a while, she had picked half a basket of silkworm beans with shells and handed them to Fang Yusheng.
Fang Yusheng changed his clothes and called Qiao Jiusheng over. “Ah Sheng, let’s go and watch the show.”
Qiao Jiusheng happily followed him to the main building.
Fang Pingjue got off work early today. When Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng arrived, he had just arrived home. Today, the atmosphere at home was a little gloomy, like the dark clouds before a storm. The sky seemed to be dark and oppressive.
Seeing Fang Yusheng, Xu Pingfei hurriedly walked over. Her attitude was not friendly, but she did not stay distant either. She greeted them, “Yusheng and Yunsheng, you’re here?”
“Aunt Xu, Dad, Aunt Jin’s silkworm beans are ready. I asked her to pick some for you guys. Everyone can try them tonight.” Fang Yusheng’s words today could be said to be friendly.
Xu Pingfei felt curious and surprised.
Fang Pingjue was on the edge of anger. When he heard this, without any smile on his face, he said in a low voice, “Put them in the kitchen.”
Qiao Jiusheng carried the silkworm beans into the kitchen.
Fang Yusheng did not seem to want to leave, so Xu Pingfei naturally could not chase him away. Therefore, she had Butler Wan Lang pour him a cup of tea.
“Young Master, have some tea.”
Wan Lang handed the tea to Fang Yusheng. Fang Yusheng sniffed and laughed. He even said to Wan Lang, “Butler Wan’s tea brewing skills are getting better and better.”
Wan Lang was also surprised.
However, he felt even more speechless. He had always made tea like this.
It seemed that this happened not because he was good at brewing tea, but because the Eldest Young Master was in a good mood.
Why’s he in a good mood?
When he thought of Second Young Master’s tragic affairs, Wan Lang understood Eldest Young Master a little.
The Eldest Young Master had been making the Old Master angry all these years and had been laughed at by many. Now that it was finally the Second Young Master’s turn, how could he not be in a good mood?
Qiao Jiusheng came out of the kitchen and sat down beside Fang Yusheng.
The two of them drank tea and occasionally chatted with Xu Pingfei. Fang Pingjue remained silent and sat on Fang Yusheng’s left. After a while, the faint sound of a steam whistle could be heard outside the door.
At this moment, Fang Yusheng asked Wan Lang to fill his teacup.
Wan Lang did as he was told.
Fang Yusheng took a sip of the boiling hot tea and placed the teacup on his left hand, which was next to Fang Pingjue’s right.
Just as he put down the teacup, he heard steady footsteps approaching from afar.
Without turning around, Qiao Jiusheng knew that it must be Fang Mu.
“You bastard!” Fang Pingjue, who had been holding back his anger and stopping himself from flaring up, saw Fang Mu coming. His right hand grabbed a teacup by his side and threw it at Fang Mu.
