defend the truth

There are many houses and courtyards in the ancestral land of the Fan family, but only this mansion of the head of the family can hang the word "Fan's mansion" high!

Fan Shuyao held the hand of the woman in plain clothes, and the two walked hand in hand in front of the crowd.As for that elegant and well-known Mrs. Fan, even though she was unhappy in every possible way, she could only bear it and did not dare to lower her smiling face.

In fact, the animal head gate facing the street is not the main entrance of Fan Mansion.Behind that door is a courtyard, which is used to resist evil spirits and retain Feng Shui luck.

After walking a hundred feet into the courtyard, you can see a huge screen wall, one side is embossed with a unicorn living in a mountain forest, and the other side is embossed with a fairy being surrounded by a hundred birds and flying up!

The ascended immortal is naturally the ancestor of the Fan family in Fuchun City; as for whether the unicorn is just an auspicious allegory, or another metaphor, after hundreds of years, no one can give an exact description.

After passing the shadow wall and walking ten or so zhang forward, there is the main entrance of Fan Mansion. In front of the gate stands two huge stone statues of Suanni, which are imposing and powerful.

After stepping through the main gate, it is the main courtyard of Fan Mansion.However, in order to reach the hall of the main hall, one has to walk another three hundred feet, and then pass through a Yimen gate which is smaller than the main entrance, so that the main hall can be seen from a distance.

In other words, from the outside street to the main hall where Fan Mansion receives distinguished guests, one has to pass through three gates and walk several miles.

But generally speaking, you can take a sedan chair until you set foot on the last gate.In the front yard, there are special sedan chair bearers waiting.

It's just that Fan Shuyao insisted on walking this few miles, so the others naturally had to follow.

In fact, Fan Shuyao has walked this road many times, and even tried walking barefoot in winter.As a result, she was a little regretful that the weather today was sunny and clear, if it was a little cold rain with some frost.Then some people behind me can also take off their shoes and walk around, how nice!

The woman in plain clothes didn't think there was anything wrong with walking, the main reason was that with her daughter by her side, she was less worried and more dependent.So no matter how far the road is, the scenery along the way is majestic and majestic.

After passing the Yi Gate, Fan Shuyao suddenly remembered something, so he stopped and took down the huge scroll behind him.Inspired by the spell, the scroll was suspended three feet in the air and spread out. On the originally blank side, a snow peak gradually appeared, and a lifelike and handsome white wolf was looking up to the sky and howling at the moon.

Immediately afterwards, ripples and fluctuations suddenly appeared in the scene in the painting scroll, and a long howling sound came from the painting, and the white wolf in the painting came alive!Then, with a flick of a finger, a white shadow sprang out from it, and the wolf came from the painting!

The people behind Fan Shuyao all changed their expressions in fright.Some of them have rich experience, so they naturally know that this is a fairy pet, not some ghost.In the past, the owner also raised a few crystal-crowned deer in the back mountain. They are docile by nature and are mainly used for ornamental purposes.

But right now, it's a white wolf as strong as a tall horse!The wolf is ferocious and bloodthirsty, even if it becomes a spiritual pet, it will not change its nature to eat grass.Wolves have to eat meat, and there are hundreds of fresh flesh and blood here. These people are not unreasonably afraid.

The complexion of the Su Yi woman also changed, but it became more loving. She smiled and said to Fan Shuyao: "This is Xiaobai! Why did this head grow so big all of a sudden?"

Before this, the Su Yi woman had actually seen this "mysterious white phantom wolf" from the northern snowy region.Through the eyes of another spiritual pet, the Three-Eyed Crow.

The three-eyed crow, which is used as a messenger, has the third spiritual eye on its forehead, which can temporarily record the scene and present it again.Not to mention that it has other talents, its rarity is self-evident with this supernatural power alone!

Fan Shuyao waved to the white wolf and said, "Xiaobai, did you hear that? Hurry up and get smaller, this will be your new home from now on!"

Hearing this, the tall white wolf immediately lowered its figure and transformed into a little wolf cub, its ferocious aura disappeared immediately.At first glance, it looks like an ordinary puppy.The fluffy snow-white fur makes people feel happy when they see it, and they have the urge to hug it quickly.

Fan Shuyao turned her head and said softly to the woman in plain clothes: "Mom, I will feel more relieved to have Xiaobai with you from now on!"

The woman in plain clothes suddenly looked worried, and asked in a low voice: "Chan'er, what do you mean by that?"

Fan Shuyao shook her head slightly and smiled, "It's not what Grandma thinks, Xiaobai is just Xiaobai, Fan Mansion will have me in the future!"

Hearing these words, the woman in plain clothes turned her worries into joy.

The mighty team continued to move forward, but there was an extra little wolf cub following Fan Shuyao's side.

When you come to the bottom of the main hall, you have to climb up a hundred steps with great difficulty before you can cross the last threshold and enter the hall to take a seat.Originally, in the team of hundreds of people, there were only 30 to [-] people who were eligible to enter the hall.Among them are three guest ministers, several relatives and relatives, and the rest are senior stewards in the mansion.

For Fan Shuyao, if she wants to take charge of this place in the future, among these people, there is nothing to say about the three priests who came from casual cultivators. They can be used, but they cannot be reused.The strength of these three people is average, and what they owe is the favor of the previous generation; in the current situation, although they are still willing to stay, it does not mean that this is loyalty, and it is more likely that they are plotting deeper.

As for the few relatives who are related to each other, it doesn't matter if they stay or not. They can neither do anything nor do anything bad. They are pure useless people.Even if they were raised for nothing, the Fan family would not be short of that little money, as long as they knew their own way and stayed away on weekdays, they would be fine.

Therefore, what Fan Shuyao valued the most were the house servants who were in charge.Without them, there would be big problems in this huge Fan Mansion.

Although she had been away from home for three years, Fan Shuyao knew very well that these stewards were absolutely loyal to the Patriarch.The premise is that she has to truly become the head of the family.Became the first female head of the Fan family rooted in Fuchun City, even the head of the branch family today.

And even until now, she, Fan Shuyao, is at most just the young lady in this Fan's mansion.And the respect shown by those people is not because of this status.Otherwise, everyone would have been blind and deaf 17 years earlier?

All the gains now are all because she is a sword fairy who came down from the mountain, and she was taught by a famous family.

Even though the Taiyi Sect is gone, the name of the Taiyi Sect is not dead.

But respect and loyalty are two different things.The latter must include the former, but the former does not.

Therefore, in order to gain the sincere approval of these people, even if that Mrs. Fan still subconsciously put on the show, or habitually sat at the main seat in the hall, she still regarded herself as the hostess here.Fan Shuyao didn't even sneer coldly: Madam, is this chair the place where you should sit?

Fan Shuyao just silently accompanied her mother and sat on the side seat.However, before she sat down completely, Mrs. Fan, who had just reacted, turned pale with fright, and hurriedly got up to give her her seat.

But Fan Shuyao still didn't take advantage of the situation, just smiled lightly and asked the woman who was also her mother to sit down.Of course, this is not because she has cultivated the immortal way, so she can choose to let go of her previous grievances very generously.It's because she bullied a widow just after returning to this home, and it's too ugly to spread the word.

At the very least, we have to wait until the overall situation is settled before we can settle them one by one and slowly!At that time, we really have to see who dares to talk too much!

Fan Shuyao's nature is not such a calculating person, but it doesn't mean she can't do such a thing.More importantly, under the same roof in the past, the two senior brothers were resourceful and resourceful people.Sometimes when passing by the study, it is hard not to hear some interesting conversations, which can be used for contemplation and study.

After they were seated, they chatted about some ordinary greetings, but the atmosphere became colder and colder as they chatted.When it came to talking about some recent events in the ancestral land and the influence behind them, Fan Shuyao became interested.

Not long after, a doorkeeper hurriedly came to the gate of the palace to announce that the third master of "Ronghuan Mansion" had arrived, bringing with him a dozen or so people, who were probably already in the main courtyard. We are almost at Yimen.

In other words, the third master mentioned by the servant didn't even wait for the notification, and came directly to the door. It was clear that the visitor was not kind!

The others, after hearing the name of the third master, also changed their faces suddenly, with panic on their faces.Even those three guest ministers who are monks are no exception.

The third master of Ronghuan Mansion is actually Fan Shuyao's third uncle.But in the entire ancestral land, there can only be one Fan Mansion, and the other sects have to have other names.But you can't name it casually, and the rules are very particular, so I won't go into details.

Fan Shuyao didn't have a deep impression of her third uncle, but it was said that she seldom stayed in the ancestral land, and liked to travel around and make friends.But because he is just a showman himself and not strong enough, most of the people he knows are friends.When he was young, he was even kidnapped because he made a bad friend by mistake, and the family paid a large ransom for this.

But even so, this third master is still very favored, except that he cannot inherit the position of Patriarch because of the order of his elders and children.He has obtained almost all the shades of the family, and the Ronghuan Mansion, which is second only to the Patriarch's mansion, is the best proof.

Therefore, Fan Shuyao was a little puzzled, such a family favorite who only knows how to squander the family fortune, logically speaking, there is nothing to be afraid of?Just relying on seniority to play tricks?

Since she has doubts, Fan Shuyao is willing to ask without shame.The answer he got was that the third master got a chance outside, and the bottleneck that had not been broken through for many years was finally loosened, and his cultivation level rose all of a sudden.In response to the orders of the old master who said that he was a late bloomer, he suddenly became ambitious and wanted to compete for the position of the head of the family.

If it was only the third master alone, it wouldn't be so frightening that the three priests would lose their face.It can be said that before the person arrives, the face turns pale first.

The problem is that there are more than a dozen Qi trainers following behind the third master, all of whom have the Jianghu Qi of swords licking blood, and have combat power beyond the realm.

Those dozen or so people were just standing there with the pestle, and their fierce aura smacked of blood!Just relying on those three people trying to gain fame and fame, they can only serve as concentrators for the occasion, how dare they accuse the third master of being a wolf with ambition and leading wolves into the house?

Knowing that it was really not kind, and most of it was aimed at herself, Fan Shuyao also thought about it.She still looked calmly and said to the woman in plain clothes: "Grandma, you should go back to the house and rest first!"

The plain-clothed woman nodded in agreement, and was about to go to the corridor and leave the main hall through the back door accompanied by the servant girl.And the incarnation of a wolf cub, worthy of the name Xiaobai, will follow and escort him all the way.

At this time, Mrs. Fan, who had already been sitting on the main seat like pins and needles, got up quickly, pretending to be warm and polite: "Let me see my sister off!"

However, Fan Shuyao immediately closed her eyes and said in a questioning tone: "I said, aunt, you are the wife my father is marrying, and my third uncle is such a close elder. He came to visit, but you were not here. Let me be a junior." Is it appropriate to see you?"

Mrs. Fan was angry and annoyed, but there was nothing she could do about it. Now that Fan Shuyao had sharp teeth and every sentence made sense, she had to sit back in her original position.

It is estimated that the woman in plain clothes just walked out the back door, and the third master swaggered in from the main hall gate!

The appearance and demeanor of this third master Fan, not to mention his handsome appearance, is also dignified, and he is first-class romantic.If it weren't for the fact that he stayed in the Qi training environment for too long and indulged too much, even if he took a lot of beauty pills, he still couldn't prevent the years from leaving marks on his face.He is only forty now, and he can be even more extraordinary.

It's no wonder that the old man spoiled this young boy so much back then.Because, compared to the previous two heirs with mediocre temperament, the birth of this youngest son proves that his own blood is really good!

If it wasn't for the fact that something bad happened to her pet later, there might be a scene where the elders are abandoned and the younger ones are replaced.

As for the dozen or so followers behind Fan Sanye, not to mention each of them being crooked, it can only be said that the whole is not very attractive.If it is used as a green leaf, it will lower the quality of the safflower.

Just as Fan Shuyao expected, Sanye Fan really only came for her.

But Sanye Fan, as soon as he entered the door, sized him up a bit, his gaze was already fixed on Fan Shuyao, he walked up to her, smiled and said kindly: "You are my eldest niece, right? It's all my uncle's fault." , Incompetent! It’s the first time I’ve seen my niece look so slim!”

Then, Fan Sanye looked at Fan Shuyao seriously again, and his smile became stronger, "Fortunately, he doesn't look like your father, so I won't talk about him, but looking at your two elder brothers, you know how to knock him off." How do you write the word "愉"!"

Fan Shuyao smiled indifferently and said, "Third Uncle, you are busy with your affairs. If you come here this time just to meet your niece, then of course I will be very happy, and even flattered. But seeing your old man's situation, I'm afraid I can only be surprised. Don't be spoiled!"

Fan Sanye waved his hand, showing a playful smile: "Hey, dear niece, don't say that! Your uncle and I were considered restless people in the past, and we didn't have any children under our knees. Now that we have experienced , but want to settle down and repay the family's cultivation over the years."

"If you are sensible, uncle can treat you like your own daughter! He can even give you and your mother my Ronghuan mansion to live in. I know that you don't really like this place, so it's just a good time to change to a new environment, right? ?"

The word bestowed is really arrogant and straightforward when used!

Fan Shuyao nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "I said Third Uncle, your head must have been caught by a door when you were young, right?"
