Chapter 96: Making a Scene

"I am her uncle, of course I have the final say!" Fang Song said arrogantly. "Furthermore, Fang Lan has never been the head of the Fang family! She's just a willful little girl who doesn't know her place! She's not grown up yet, nor has she married! She goes out every day exposing herself in public. What a lack of propriety! She's ruined our Fang family's reputation!" When he said this, Fang Song's face showed mockery and disdain, as if he were talking about his niece rather than an enemy! "Master Song, you can't say that. I feel that the young lady is doing quite well, and we all obey her." Fang Laoshi said stubbornly. "You understand nothing!" Being scolded by a junior like that, Fang Song felt his face was losing face and immediately scolded him mercilessly: "If it weren't for the old master forcing Fang Lan to lead, our Fang family wouldn't know how much better off we'd be! And we wouldn't be stuck in this neither high nor low position? Women are useless! If you ask me, our Fang family has fallen to this state because of her!" Fang Song's heart was not convinced. In terms of seniority and ability, he was stronger than that young girl who hadn't even sprouted hair. Why did the old master let Fang Lan be in charge and leave his own son aside? Considering the old master's and Fang Lan's deceased father's faces, he had endured this for many years, but today he couldn't endure it anymore. A good shop, business not doing well, all lent to some unknown kid who suddenly appeared, what for? A shopping festival? And without taking any money! Waiting for dividends! Isn't this nonsense? What if the goods from Qin Town can't be sold? Wouldn't our Fang family just be losing money for nothing? Business requires the word 'stability'. How could it be done like this? The shop is closed, how much money is she losing every day, does Fang Lan know? The hundreds of mouths in the Fang family rely on this shop to eat! Today, Fang Song was going to take charge, he absolutely couldn't let Fang Lan continue messing around like this! He glared at Qin Zhen and issued a guest expulsion order without any mercy. "What's the matter with you staring? Hurry up and move! What? Do you want me to personally carry your broken stuff away?" "Master Song, is there room for discussion?" Qin Zhen asked calmly. He really didn't expect such a thing to happen. Moving, of course, was impossible; the things were arranged almost perfectly, where would he find a place to go now? Moreover, even if he found a new place, there wouldn't be enough time. Most importantly, Huang Dalang was staring at Qin Zhen tightly, waiting for him to make a fool of himself. Qin Zhen didn't doubt that if he moved away from this street in Fang Town, there wouldn't be any place in the entire coastal city that would help him. "No discussion!" Fang Song waved his hand without thinking, his attitude firm. At first, Qin Zhen indeed thought that the other party was coming to raise prices. But it seemed he was wrong; Fang Song was here to cause trouble. "Messages have already been spread; by then the city lord and Miss Ying'er will both arrive. If we move, how will they find a place for us?" Qin Zhen began to persuade with reason: "By then Miss Ying'er will still come here to measure sizes and make clothes! Can you please be accommodating?" "You really shouldn't use the city lord to suppress me!" Fang Song was unmoved, sneered: "This street belongs to my Fang family. I can give it to whoever I want. It's clearly written in the business laws, and even if it reaches the city lord, I have reason!" He stepped close to Qin Zhen and threatened in a low voice. "I don't care what transactions you have with that wild girl Fang Lan. Now that she says something doesn't count, the entire Fang family must listen to me!" Qin Zhen understood. So this old thing was trying to seize power while Fang Lan was away! But how could it be so coincidental? Coming early or late, but specifically at this moment? "Huang Dalang sent you here, right?" Qin Zhen asked directly. "Hmph!" Fang Song hummed, accepting it, then paused and gave a weighty admonition: "Qin Zhen, listen to my advice, you're not Huang Dalang's match! This matter, you really shouldn't blame me; the Fang family can't let you mess around anymore!" So he was still an honest man? Qin Zhen frowned slightly. If Fang Song was causing trouble for personal gain, Qin Zhen naturally wouldn't be polite with him. But this guy was not only for himself, but also for the Fang family. This was somewhat awkward. Fang Song wasn't a particularly vicious relative; he was just stubborn and narrow-minded. But precisely such people are the hardest to handle. In principle, this was the Fang family's family matter, Qin Zhen shouldn't interfere, but this matter also involved the big plan of his shopping festival! Who is in charge in the Fang family is not important, what matters is who dares to back out at this critical time and cause trouble; Qin Zhen would not tolerate it! "Alright." Qin Zhen weighed the pros and cons for a long time and took one step back. "I will write you a note now. These days using your shop is considered me renting it. Once the shopping festival is over, I'll make up the rent for these days. How does that sound? In this way, no matter who wins or loses between me and Huang Dalang, it doesn't count as a loss for your Fang family." "Drop it! You're about to lose everything! Where's the money for me?" Fang Song obviously thought Qin Zhen was doomed to fail, and his tone became impatient: "I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. Don't use the same tricks to fool me! Useless!" "You old bastard, I've known you for a long time! Give face but don't take it, huh!" Li Han, who had been glaring for half the day, couldn't stand it anymore, pointed at Fang Song and cursed: "In the beginning, our town promised Fang Lan that one is one, two is two! Who do you think you are? We can let you go, but let Fang Lan come! What kind of thing are you?" At this time Fang Laoshi also stubbornly supported. "Master Song, this matter is decided by the young lady, no matter what, we have to wait for the young lady to return! I respect you as an elder and advise you to go back!" "You inside traitor, you've gone too far!" Fang Song was furious. Li Han had fierce eyes and a tough aura; he didn't dare to provoke him. You a Fang Laoshi, also dare to point fingers in front of him? "Today this matter I must handle it! Just right to teach these ungrateful descendants a lesson for that wild girl Fang Lan!" Following Fang Song were the Fang family members, all in high spirits, wanting to take action. At this moment Chen Kuai arrived upon hearing the news, his loud voice instantly quelled the scene. "What's this? Don't you see who covers this land! Dare to cause trouble here, wanting a beating, huh!" "Lord officer, they are being unreasonable..." Fang Song loudly cried out in grievance. Who knew Chen Kuai would not listen to his words at all, he waved his hand. "Men, arrest all these troublemakers!" The burly soldiers rushed forward like catching chicks, in three moves and two steps bound up Fang Song's entire group and took them away. Zhang Song had a cloth rag stuffed in his mouth, full of sorrow and indignation. "Old Chen, this..." Qin Zhen was momentarily at a loss what to do. Seeing Chen Kuai pat Qin Zhen's shoulder heavily, smiling: "Don't worry, it's just asking them to stay somewhere else for a few days. You conduct business honestly, why be bullied? Just go about your business calmly, with me covering for you!"
