The Cannon Fodder and Villain's Happy Ending

Chapter 427

At that time, her mother, Yongle, had died for less than a month, while her father followed Wang Yu’s lead in everything.

“Marriage” was just a nice way to say it, but it was just a marriage agreement without three books and six rituals, held in the hands of Wang Yu.

Later, the emperor sent someone to Yuzhou, and Wang Yu pushed her to the capital confidently.

“Wang Yu asked me to come to the capital first and follow orders.” Fang Hanjun said calmly and clearly.

Wang Yu asked her to marry, so she got married. In Yuzhou, she was just a little bird with broken wings and was unable to resist Wang Yu. Therefore, instead of waiting to die in Yuzhou, she might as well come to the capital to fight.

For her mother and her, Yuzhou was like hell on Earth.

Her mother always wanted to return to the capital, and she had always dreamed of it, yet she could no longer do so.

She remembered that when she was five years old, the emperor ordered someone to come and secretly take her and her mother back to the capital.

However, Yuzhou was Wang Yu’s territory, and countless people were watching her and her mother’s movements, so they were discovered before they had the chance to leave the city walls.

All those people who came to pick them up were dead, and Wang Yu had her mother watch with her own eyes, as they were being dismembered in the street by the horses.

After that, to break her mother’s mind and obediently serve as a hostage in Yuzhou, at the authorization of Wang Yu, and with the consent of her father, they also let someone…

Fang Hanjun gritted her teeth in hatred.

From then on, they took control of her mother and stayed in Yuzhou quietly, never daring to leave again.

Her mother was like a flower slowing wilting…

She was the first to discover her mother’s body on that day.

Her mother hangs herself from the beam.

To this day, she vividly remembers the scene, her mother in a white dress, and her body swaying slightly in mid-air ……

She knew that her mother had deliberately let her be the first to discover her body; it was her mother’s way of saying to either die or leave Yuzhou.

Her mother died, but Fang Hanjun was not sad; she knew that her mother was finally free.

She later followed Wang Yu’s instructions and came to the capital.

When she first arrived at the capital, she was unfamiliar with the place and life. She did not know who she could trust, and so she did not dare to act rashly. She did not even dare talk to the emperor or the empress dowager.

She knew that the emperor and empress dowager were kind to her, but she also knew well that their kindness came from their guilt towards her mother. She was also wary of the emperor and empress dowager, and she knew better than anyone about how unreliable the so-called family relationship was.

She just waited and watched patiently for a few months, and then later, County Princess Duan Rou, Gu Xi, and Tang Fengchun also arrived at the capital.

County Princess told her what Wang Yu wanted her to do.

“Wang Yu wants me to marry again, to the second prince.” As she said this, Fang Hanjun showed cynical interest. “They feel that with the information they have against me, even if I marry the second prince I still can’t escape from their hands and can only obey Wang Yu.”

“Duan Rou told me to do anything I want for the time being, I just need to be good and wait for the one-year filial piety period to end, and not offend the Second Prince during this period and my marriage will be arranged by them.”

Although Empress Dowager Liu had never mentioned to her that she intended to betroth her to the Second Prince, Fang Hanjun had overheard Empress Dowager Liu’s conversations with her confidant in private and knew that the Empress Dowager had originally intended to do so, but somehow the Empress Dowager had changed her mind again.

Fang Hanjun pretended not to know and waited for the development of the situation, until two days ago, Duan Rou quietly came to find her again.

“Two days ago, Duan Rou told me to lure Uncle to the lake in the middle of the day.”

Fang Hanjun could also guess why Duan Rou was looking for her because Gu Zezhi would not be on guard against her so she asked her to come step in. Fang Hanjun also was interested in trying Gu Zezhe so she agreed.

Fang Hanjun’s gaze moved from Gu Zezhi to Qin Jiu, staring into her eyes she said, “You said just now that it’s no big deal to divorce, as long as you’re happy, isn’t that right?”

Qin Jiu nodded seriously, “Of course.”

“A man who was bitten by a poisonous snake is going to be tied to the snake for the rest of his life, that’s a loss.”

What could be more terrifying and creepier than “dancing with snakes”!

Fang Hanjun smiled and nodded, “That’s right.”

Fang Hanjun probably also felt that it was a bit unseemly to talk about divorce with an unmarried couple who were getting married next month, so she added. “Uncle is very good.”

He was different from his father, her father, the second prince and Wang Yu.

Fang Hanjun smiled and winked at Qin Jiu.

Qin Jiu also smiled, smiling triumphantly as if Fang Hanjun had praised her instead.

She felt that she should be humble, so she said casually. “You are too kind.”

Correspondingly, this sentence accidentally stepped on the tail of the cat.

Someone raised an eyebrow and asked in a lazy voice, “I’m not good enough?”

“Good, how can it be bad!” Qin Jiu immediately said a series of sweet words alertly, coaxing Gu Zezhi. “You are the best!”

As she spoke, she smiled even more cheerfully, leaning slightly toward his side, and naturally nestled against his shoulder.

Through several layers of fabric, she felt his warm body temperature seeping through the material, ironing her to warmth, and a thought could not help but pop up in her mind: He’s much easier to use than the cat!

Gu Zezhi knew that she was cold, and with both hands, he covered her small hand in his palm and ordered the palace servant outside the pavilion to fetch a hand stove as he glanced sideways at Qin Jiu, as if telling her she knew that she was afraid of cold but she did not know how to bring a hand stove out.

Qin Jiu had an innocent look on her face. She brought a “stove” with her but that “stove” had legs and could run!
