Chapter 711 - 711 711 Seen Before (4)_1

711: Chapter 711: Seen Before (4)_1 711: Chapter 711: Seen Before (4)_1 The two quickly approached Dingxiang Academy, not yet reaching the main entrance when someone came out from the side, “Miss Yang.”

Yang Ruxin slightly lifted her eyes to Fang Tiangang, Zhou Xiao even held a look of wariness.

As for the affairs of the Fang Family, Fang Tianze had not concealed them from her.

He had told her that since he had been frail from a young age, doctors had determined he would not live past fifteen years.

But, apart from him, his parents had no other offspring.

Thus, someone proposed the adoption of a son to inherit the family business.

Consequently, the two sons of his eldest uncle became the prime candidates.

Although his parents did not agree, the eldest uncle still sent over his literate younger son to their home.

Later, when the eldest uncle’s family could no longer get by in their hometown, they also fled to seek refuge and, despite living next door, Fang Tiangang did not return.

The Fang Family might not have deep roots, and Fang Dehua may not hold a high official rank, but that doesn’t take into account the generous dowry of Yuan Mengzhu.

The Yuan Family had been in business for generations.

There was an older brother, but after two consecutive losses with the births that followed, it wasn’t until her big brother was eight years old that this little sister was born, having been brought up with great care.

Back then, the dowry that stretched for ten miles was enough to make many people envious.

In principle, a mother’s dowry should go to her son, but what if the son dies?

Then, the Yuan Family could reclaim the dowry after Yuan Mengzhu’s death.

Therefore, having a son to carry on the lineage was essential.

Wealth stirs people’s hearts.

If you were to ask who in the world most wished for Fang Tianze to die, it would undoubtedly be the young man standing before her.

Fang Tiangang saw Yang Ruxin was only looking at her and not speaking.

His heart suddenly felt a bit hollow, but his anxious face was well masked, “Miss Yang, please excuse my intrusion.

I am Fang Tiangang, Zeze’s second brother.”

“We have met before,” Yang Ruxin replied with a light smile, “I am just wondering why Second Young Master Fang is waiting here to stop me.”

“My third brother…,” Fang Tiangang sighed softly, “how is he doing?

I only know that his old ailment has relapsed, but there has been no concrete news.

It is really…”

“You should go to Xiyue Residence to ask, not stand here.” Yang Ruxin’s smile deepened, “Don’t tell me it’s a coincidence.

This is not the only way to the parlor…”

“Hehe…” Fang Tiangang felt inwardly frustrated.

How could this woman be so shrewd?

Moreover, she spoke so directly, not even willing to pretend to be foolish, which was…

somewhat difficult for a man to handle.

“I didn’t expect someone to be so cruel,” Yang Ruxin also ‘hehe’ laughed twice, “mixing red arsenic with Happy Powder, what a profound hatred it must be… tsk tsk, truly eye-opening…”

Fang Tiangang’s complexion changed slightly.

Yang Ruxin, however, didn’t bother with him anymore and turned to enter Dingxiang Academy.

The people inside Dingxiang Academy were all anxiously waiting.

Some of the children had even stopped teasing their mynas.

Seeing Yang Ruxin and Zhou Xiao return, they quickly gathered around.

“Zeze is fine now, but he will need to recuperate for a while,” Yang Ruxin smiled, “don’t worry.

Let’s pack up, we will take our leave soon.”

“Big sister, let Brother Zeze come back with us,” Sini said anxiously, tugging at Yang Ruxin’s hand.

“Yeah, Brother Zeze is happy at our house,” Xiaofeng also nodded in agreement.

The other two little maids also looked at Yang Ruxin with hopeful eyes, as if the Fang Family were akin to a dragon’s den and a tiger’s lair.
