Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 879 880: Qi-Induced Hemoptysis

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Fang Zan.
Fang Zan froze for three seconds, then erupted in rage, feeling like his liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were about to explode with anger. He roared, "Bastard, when have I ever been to the dungeon? Fang Meng, you'd better have evidence or I will definitely kill you."
Fang Meng was so scared he was about to collapse, but he really hadn't lied.
"I can prove that what Fang Meng said is true."
Everyone turned towards the voice and almost froze simultaneously, because the speaker was the Fifth Elder, Fang Wen.
Fang Zan looked at Fang Wen in disbelief, "Old Five, why are you framing me?"
Fang Wen said solemnly, "Second Elder, why would I frame you? Last night, I couldn't rest easy, so I went to check the dungeon and saw you bringing two disciples at the dungeon entrance. Not only did Fang Meng and I see this, but the disciples present can all testify.
If you don't believe it, you can ask the disciples who were on duty at the dungeon entrance last night."
Fang Zan's face was flushed. He didn't understand. He could handle outsiders framing him, but why would his own people smear his name?
Fang Haohong stared at Fang Zan, his gaze flickering slightly.
Chen Qingxia glared at Fang Zan, "Even now, you still won't admit it?"
"Why should I admit to something I didn't do?" Fang Zan roared, shaking with rage.
"I, I was also knocked out by the Second Elder. I just woke up like this," Xiao Lian said softly.
Fang Zan went into a fit of rage, pointing at Xiao Lian and shouting, "You wretch, who on earth instructed you to slander me?"
Xiao Lian trembled with fear, whispering, "I didn't; the two old women who served me can testify."
The two old women serving Xiao Lian were nearly scared to death, huddled on the ground.
"Is what he said true?" Fang Haohong looked at the two old women and asked.
The two old women were so frightened they couldn't speak. They were aware of Xiao Lian and Fang Zhiyi's affair but hadn't informed Fang Haohong. They were doomed. Upon hearing Fang Haohong's question, they could only nod frantically.
"Speak," Fang Haohong barked angrily.
The terrifying pressure made the two old women cough up blood.
"Spare us, Family Head, spare us! It was the Second Elder, he knocked us out and took Miss Xiao Lian away."
"Nonsense, you're lying, why are you framing me? Who instructed you to say this?" Fang Zan was nearly exploding with anger, roaring loudly.
At this moment, Fang Wwen said solemnly, "Second Elder, I want to ask you something, please answer truthfully."
Fang Zan's face was grim, "Speak."
Fang Wwen said, "Last night, while we were ambushing at the courtyard where Lan Jiaojiao was held, you said it was under the command of the Family Head to make me stay farther away and hide in the neighboring courtyard. Did the Family Head actually say this?"
Fang Zan's eyes reddened as he shouted, "When have I ever been to the courtyard where Lan Jiaojiao was held? You're slandering me."
"Second Elder, calm down. I just want to get things clear. At the time, it wasn't just me, the Fifth Elder, and the Fourth Elder were there too, as well as over a hundred disciples who can testify, I am not wronging you."
"That's right, I can testify."
"I was also present at the time, and heard it clearly. The Third Elder did not lie."
Several of them, like Fang Wen, stood up to testify.
Fang Haohong stared at Fang Zan, "You dare to pass false orders in my name, how bold."
Fang Wwen's expression changed slightly, "Family Head, didn't you give such an order?"
Fang Haohong's face was dark, "We went through great lengths to set up an inescapable trap all to kill Qin Yi, how could I give such a foolish order?"
"Pfft!"
As soon as Fang Haohong finished speaking, Fang Zan was so furious that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You, why are you setting me up? I could accept it from others, but you actually want me dead, I am not resigned."
Blood kept gushing from Fang Zan's mouth, making for a terrifying sight.
"Crack!"
The sound of shattering came from Fang Zan's mouth.
Everyone was shocked.
Fang Zan had actually crushed his own teeth.
Among the crowd, Qin Yi and Lan Jiaojiao were hiding in the back.
"Tsk tsk... I always heard of being so angry you spit blood, or that you grind your teeth to pieces. I thought it was just a saying. I didn't expect someone to really get that angry, it's eye-opening."
Qin Yi's lips curled up slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
In reality, there was no such thing as a flawless plan. The plan he made on the fly had plenty of loopholes. It was just that right now, all fingers pointed toward Fang Zan, and everyone was in shock, too busy to think it through.
"Old Qin, why are you singling out Fang Zan for the pit?"
Qin Yi was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly, "Because I've only been at the Fang Family for a day at most and have only met Fang Zan. It's just his bad luck."
Lan Jiaojiao was full of admiration, "How does your brain work? You managed to calculate everyone into your plan in such a short time."
"What can I say, intelligence is innate, not something that can be compensated with medicine or injections."
Lan Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, "There you go bragging."
Fang Haohong frowned at Fang Zan, could it really be that all this was done by the Second Elder? But why? In his impression, Fang Zan was a shrewd person; could he have really done something so stupid?
No matter what, Fang Zan was a member of the Fang Family. He did all this for the family, after all, and was also a powerhouse at the Divine Separation Stage. He had to find a way to protect Fang Zan.
Chen Qinglian sneered, "I told you, it's a case of a thief calling others thieves."
"Elder Chen, you can't say it like that. Don't forget, this matter was discovered by the Family Head himself, which means he didn't know about it all along. Everything was done by that old thief Fang Zan himself," Mo Fushui said in a sarcastic tone.
"Who knows? Maybe it's a case of sacrificing the chariot to protect the commander."
Mo Fushui laughed, "But no matter how you look at it, this person has been dragged out. Given Fang Family Head's great benevolence, I think he should give us a satisfactory explanation."
Fang Haohong's face was livid. He wanted to protect Fang Zan, but was pressed by Mo Fushui the old fox into a corner.
Mo Tianheng suddenly spoke, "Fang Zan, there's no way you did this alone. Name your accomplices, or you'll bear the full guilt by yourself.
Baihua Pavilion's Holy Daughter, and my Mo Family's Young Master, both have statuses that rival yours as an elder. They almost fell victim to you, and you know how serious the consequences of this are. Do you really plan to take the fall for others?"
After Mo Tianheng spoke, he cast a meaningful glance at Lei Feiming and Nan Beitian.
Fang Haohong's eyes brightened slightly. Mo Tianheng's words reminded him that if he could drag the Lei Family and Nan Family into this, then Fang Zan's guilt would be greatly reduced. Besides, even if Baihua Pavilion and the Mo Family turned against them, the three families were so interconnected, they wouldn't fear them.
"Second Elder, there's no need to hide anymore; tell us everything you know," Fang Haohong said flatly.
Fang Zan's eyes were vacant, blood stains on his lips. Suddenly, he burst into mad laughter, "Family Head, I've been so loyal to the Fang Family over the years, putting my heart and soul into it, all for the Fang Family. Can you tell me, why would you harm me? Is the great Fang Family really unable to tolerate me?"
