Chapter 141 Li Xiang's Teachings

When Fang Yiai got off the carriage, his steps became light and fluttery.

"Cousin, drink again in a few days!"

He waved drunkenly.

Lu Hyun waved at him and then lowered the curtain.

"I was about to find out the secret recipe for turning wool into yarn, but I didn't expect him to fall asleep!" Lu Hyun said angrily.

Cui Shi smiled and said, "In the final analysis, this is my fault. I was too busy trying to get him to drink. I saw that he drank at least three jars of wine by himself."

"Who said he wasn't? My cousin can drink a lot." Lu Hyun said, laughing to himself: "After drinking so much, even a cow would be drunk, but he can still hold on for a while."

Then he said to Cui Shi and the others, "Next time we must control the amount and not give them so much."

"I have an idea that will not only make him follow us wholeheartedly, but also drag Fang Xuanling into the water with him!" Wang Qian, who was beside Cui Shi, suddenly said.

"Oh?" Cui Shi's eyes lit up: "If this is possible, it will be a great achievement!"

"Of course we have to carry out strategies simultaneously. Not only that, I think we can also make use of Princess Gaoyang to ruin the reputation of the royal family." Cui Derang also muttered to the side.

"If you have any good ideas, tell us quickly!" Cui Shi urged.

Wang Qian and Cui Derang gathered together and whispered, "This is what happened, this is what happened..."

"What a good plan!" Cui Shi's eyes lit up. "If this happens now, not only will the Fang family fall into our trap, but even Princess Gaoyang will be under our control! Not only will the wool business be easy to capture, but even... humph..."

Fang Yiai could not hear the plan in the carriage.

As soon as he entered the Fang Mansion, Fang Yiai asked the servant beside him, "Is the princess at home?"

"My lord, the princess is still in the restaurant," the servant replied.

"Prepare the car! I, I want to go find...the princess." Fang Yiai was still drunk.

The servant wanted to persuade Fang Yiai to go to the princess when he was so drunk, or he would be scolded by the princess.

But then he thought again, Fang Yiai was a bit of a rough-tempered person, and if he said something to me and then got annoyed by my talking too much and started beating me up, it would be a bit not worth it.

Thinking of this, the servant went to prepare the car for him.

When the servant came back, Fang Yiai said he was drunk and wanted to go back to sleep.

The servant scratched his head. Is the Second Young Master torturing me for fun?

After returning to the house, Fang Yiai's eyes suddenly became clear again.

Although he is silly, he is the son of Fang Xuanling, "Fang Mou" after all. After decades of living together, even a stone would be mellowed and have some brains.

But not much.

He has a rare ability, which is that he can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

When Li Shu returned home that night, Fang Yiai rolled over from the bed, walked up to him and asked flatteringly with a smile: "Shu'er is back?"

"What's going on today?" Li Shu looked at him with a smile as he was more proactive than usual. He handed the outer cloak to the maid behind him and waved his hand for someone to leave.

Li Shu had a psychological mysophobia. Since she married into the Fang family, she had cleared out all the servants and maids in Fang Yiai's house.

The servants in the room now were either newly recruited or brought from the palace.

"Nothing, just, that..." Fang Yiai's tone was hesitant.

Li Shu sniffed and his face darkened.

"Drinking?"

"Well, my cousin asked me to go out for a drink, and I drank a little." Fang Yiai answered honestly.

"Oh." Li Su nodded without asking any further questions.

As a man, he should always have his own social life. Although Li Shu has a strong desire for control, he will not control Fang Yiai so much that he will not have his own social life.

This was where a misunderstanding arose; Li Shu thought he was talking about another cousin.

"That's not right. You and your cousin don't have much in common." Li Shu suddenly asked, "Why did your cousin suddenly ask you to drink?"

Fang Yiai suddenly realized: "It's my uncle's cousin, Lu Hyun."

"Lu family?" Li Shu asked vigilantly.

"Ah, there are two from the Cui family and one from the Wang family." Fang Yiai scratched his head and said, "Shu'er, you don't know. My cousin and the others are trying to trick me."

Li Shu originally wanted to ask why he was so close to the Shandong gentry, but after hearing what Fang Yiai said, she felt relieved.

It seems that her husband is very sensible. Li Shu is quite satisfied.

He is a little silly, but he is gifted and loyal to himself, which is also good.

"What are you trying to trick me into thinking?" Li Shu sat on the bed with a smile and patted his left side towards Fang Yiai.

"That's right. He wanted to ask me how we make our wool products. He wanted to get the secret recipe out of me." Fang Yiai answered honestly, "He even forced me to drink, hoping to get the secret recipe out of me when I was drunk. But I couldn't get drunk, hehe."

Although he looks honest, his words are full of "praise me" and he is trying to take credit for it.

"My husband is so great~" Li Shu stretched out her hand and hugged Fang Yiai's arm. Mount Everest rubbed against Fang Yiai's arm, making the little Fang stand at attention all of a sudden.

Being attracted by the beauty, Fang Yiai said with a treasure: "Of course, you don't even look at whose husband I am. My cousin wanted to give me that Ye Yuannu, but I refused. She is a famous prostitute in Chang'an!"

My mother, is there any unexpected gain?

Li Shu immediately became alert.

"What did you say?" Li Shu asked calmly, "Where did you eat?"

Comrade Xiao Fang, who was unaware of the danger, continued to say, "My cousin invited me to Pingkangfang and said that the courtesan Ye Yuannu was there. He also used words to provoke me, so I had no choice but to follow him."

"Then they asked Ye Yuannu to give me the leather cup. At that time, I controlled, controlled, and controlled again..."

"What is a leather cup?" Li Shu asked calmly.

"It's just feeding wine mouth to mouth." Fang Yiai said, smacking his lips and sighing: "Too lewd!"

"And then?" Li Shu asked with twinkling eyes.

"I'm sorry, Shu'er, I couldn't control myself..." Fang Yiai said with a sad face.

Li Shu snorted coldly and asked, "You couldn't control yourself? You and Ye Yuannu drank mouth to mouth?"

"No, my lady, I fainted!" Fang Yiai had already realized that something was wrong, and he quickly tried to make amends, "My lady, I... I definitely fainted..."

"Did he really pass out?" Li Shu asked with his chin raised.

Fang Yiai's legs went limp, and he stopped sitting on the bed. He knelt down in front of Li Shu and pointed his finger at the sky: "Madam, I swear to the lamp, I really fainted..." "Oh, you can faint with such a good thing?" Li Shu's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He stood up and said angrily: "Can you faint?"

"I really smoked..." Fang Yiai said with a sad face: "If you don't believe me, you can ask my cousin, I really..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Shu punched Fang Yiai in the face.

After all, she is the daughter of Tian Khan, so her fighting ability is well within her control.

The next morning, Li Shu came to the restaurant with Fang Yiai, who was bruised and swollen.

Li Lizhi and Pei Xueqing were both there. Seeing Fang Yiai with his head lowered, they looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

"You, go stand over there!" Li Shu pointed at the corner and scolded Fang Yiai.

Fang Yiai looked at Li Su pitifully, and seeing that she was indifferent, he could only sigh and stand obediently in the corner, facing the wall.

Li Shu glared at Fang Yiai's back, turned around and walked out of the room, calling out, "Cheng Chubi!"

"Here!" Cheng Chubi ran very fast.

"Go and get the elephant for me!" Li Su was still angry.

"Yes!" Cheng Chubi certainly noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, and he ran away without saying a word.

Li Xiang was playing with Li Jue in the East Palace, making a snowman. When he saw Cheng Chubi coming over, he smiled and asked, "Chubi, why are you visiting the East Palace so early?"

"It's a disaster, brother!" Cheng Chubi said to Li Xiang worriedly.

"How did this disaster happen?" Li Xiang's heart skipped a beat. What on earth happened?
"Princess Gaoyang has come to the restaurant with her husband Fang Yiai. I saw Fang Yiai had a bruised face and nose, and I'm afraid he was beaten up by his aunt. Your aunt asked me to invite you, so you should go quickly!" Cheng Chubi said in one breath.

"Is there such a thing?" Li Xiang felt relieved. He asked Fubao to prepare the car and called Xue Rengui to go to the restaurant together.

When Li Xiang pushed the door open, the first thing he saw was Pei Xueqing knitting a hat.

Being with Li Lizhi, my life is peaceful and tranquil.

Seeing Li Xiang come in, Pei Xueqing put down the knitting needles in her hand, stood up and greeted him softly.

"Sister Pei, there's no need to be so polite." Li Xiang smiled very upright.

After greeting the two aunts, he looked at Fang Yiai, who was still facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes, and asked, "Aunt, what happened to my uncle?"

"Ha." Li Shu just sneered.

"Oh, a couple quarrels at the head of the bed and makes up at the foot of the bed, how can they stay angry overnight?" Li Xiang hurriedly comforted Li Su and went to plead for Fang Yiai: "After all, a husband and wife for a day is a hundred days of grace. Even if your uncle has thousands of faults, he is still your husband after all, isn't he?"

It's not that Li Xiang was being treacherous. In his opinion, how could Fang Yiai, an honest man, do anything to offend Princess Gaoyang? Who would believe this if it was told to others...

"Since Xiang'er is pleading for you, just come and sit over here." Li Shu snorted and pointed to the side.

"Oh." Fang Yiai scratched his head and sat aside.

Li Xiang also saw Fang Yiai's bruised face and nose, and couldn't help but gasp.

"What's going on?" he asked Li Shu.

"Well, of course the story starts with your good uncle going to Pingkangfang!" Li Shu glared at Fang Yiai angrily and began to tell Li Xiang what happened yesterday.

When the story was about the courtesan sitting on Fang Yiai and Fang Yiai fainted, Li Shu was still cursing indignantly: "Tell me, give me some judgment. He said he fainted, do you believe it?"

"Why don't you believe it?" Li Xiang said with a smile, "My uncle has confessed to you, which means he has nothing to hide. Moreover, my grandfather has often told me that among all the sons-in-law, only Yiai is as pure as ever, and he will definitely not do anything to deceive you."

"Really?" Li Shu raised his willow-shaped eyebrows.

"Of course." Li Xiang said with a smile.

Li Shu looked at Fang Yiai, snorted and said, "Since it was Xiang'er who pleaded for you, I will forgive you this time!"

"Thank you, my lady." Fang Yiai immediately smiled happily.

Li Xiang looked at Fang Yiai's heartless appearance, then looked at his aunt, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.

Perhaps only someone as heartless as Fang Yiai is a perfect match for Li Shu.

"Aunt, I want to criticize you too." Li Xiang walked to Li Su's side, sat down and advised: "When a couple lives together, you can beat each other as much as you want behind closed doors, but outside, you have to give the man some face."

"You give your man face outside, believe it or not, he will be willing to wash your feet when he gets home?"

"You are so young, what do you know about husband and wife?" Li Shu rolled his eyes at him, but seeing Fang Yiai's deep approval, he muttered to himself, "Could it be... really as Xiang'er said?"

"That's natural. Men all like to save face. I'm no exception, and even Grandpa is the same." Li Xiang said with a smile, "When have you ever seen Grandma scold Grandpa in front of outsiders?"

Li Shu thought about it for a moment, and when he remembered how gentle and virtuous Empress Changsun was, he immediately opened his mouth to refute.

"You little elephant, your mother is a first-class virtuous woman, how could she scold you?"

Unexpectedly, Li Lizhi smiled and said, "Xiang'er is right. You were still young at that time, so you don't remember anything. In the second year of Zhenguan, Yeye was busy with his eagle and had no time to accompany A Niang. Wang De was beside him and it was difficult to speak. As a result, A Niang put two spoons of salt in the Tremella soup..."

Li Shu really didn't know about this. He looked at Li Lizhi suspiciously, feeling that it somewhat subverted his perfect memory of Empress Changsun.

There was no choice but to admit her mistake with the person she admired most as an example.

She stood up and walked to Fang Yiai's side, and said awkwardly, "Husband, it's my fault."

"Hey, as long as Shu'er is happy." Fang Yiai said happily.

Li Xiang curled his lips and said, "What Feiyangyang?"

Look how happy you are, as if you had eaten two pounds of bee poop. What a great achievement!
Pei Xueqing sat aside, still knitting a hat in her hands, with a calm smile on her pretty face, listening quietly to the story of Empress Changsun.

She planned to find out with Princess Changle what kind of woman Empress Changsun was.

Li Shu and Fang Yiai exchanged a few words, and then she pulled Fang Yiai to sit down, and they returned to their original intimacy.

"By the way, Xiang'er, I actually have something else to tell you." Li Su suddenly said.

Li Xiang raised his eyebrows. Could it be that my uncle has other plans?
"That's right. The one who invited your uncle to dinner yesterday was his cousin."

"Cousin?" Li Xiang sat up straight. "But is he Madam Liang's nephew?"

Fang Xuanling was the Duke of Liang, so his wife was naturally the Lady of Liang.

Of course he knew that Lady Liang was from the Lu family of Fanyang.

Li Su nodded and said, "Xiang'er guessed correctly. Your uncle's cousin's name is Lu Xuan. Cui Shi, Cui Derang and Wang Qian also had a banquet with them in Pingkangfang yesterday."

When Li Xiang heard this, he started to think about it.

This matter is not simple...
