Chapter 260: Chapter 259: Fourth Master’s Taboo
Chapter 260 -259: Fourth Master’s Taboo
Fang Zhuoran knelt on the ground, crying out his innocence.
“Grandfather, look at what Fourth Brother has done to this man. Under such extreme torture, even the innocent would confess!”
The Snake Boss was genuinely afraid of Gu Siting.
Not daring to hide anything anymore, he said, “Young Master Fang, it’s true that your Fourth Brother used torture to force a confession out of me, but those snakes, indeed, were bought by you.”
Fang Zhuoran’s face turned ashen, “You’re talking nonsense!”
He had been extremely cautious, purchasing the snakes with cash, without leaving any trace of a transaction record.
Even if the Snake Boss insisted it was him, he could simply deny it.
Liu Lan stared sharply at the Snake Boss, “Gu Siting’s private use of torture is punishable by law. Now that you are in front of Old Master Fang, speak out about your grievances. We will help you!”
Fang Zhentao nodded, “Yes, yes, don’t let evil forces crush you!”
The Snake Boss gave a silent look at Fang Zhuoran’s parents—he had known Fang Zhuoran would deny it—then took out his phone.
He directly played a recording.
“I want to buy a hundred poisonous snakes from you.”
“Young Master Fang, what do you want so many snakes for?”
“There’s a woman who dares to pretend to be my great-aunt’s lifesaver. Watch how I deal with her.”
“Right, and find me a way to get a dead white crane, too!”
As soon as the recording was played, the room fell into another deadly silence.
Fang Zhuoran’s face suddenly changed dramatically, and his blood ran cold.
He had not anticipated that the Snake Boss would have recorded their conversation!
Did that mean he no longer wanted to get his supplies from him?
Fang Zhuoran glared at the Snake Boss with gritted teeth, “You will regret this!”
Even if his grandfather found out that he was the one who released the snakes, no substantial harm had been caused that day, and they weren’t likely to investigate his responsibility further.
However, no sooner had Fang Zhuoran spoken than the Snake Boss revealed something else.
“Old Master Fang, actually, the reason I was able to cooperate with Young Master Fang involves another important matter…”
Fang Zhuoran, realizing what the Snake Boss was about to disclose, lunged at him in a fit of emotion.
But he was pushed away by Lu Zhou before he could reach the Snake Boss.
Liu Lan and Fang Zhentao were furious.
“This is outrageous, an assistant daring to act high and mighty in our Fang Family residence?”
Lu Zhou remained unmoved, standing behind the Snake Boss and speaking in a low voice, “With Fourth Master here, go ahead and speak!”
“I met Young Master Fang in a bar, we share a common hobby, which is…”
“You dare to say it, I dare you?” Fang Zhuoran, abandoning his usual gentle manner, blurted out an expletive in a rage.
Old Master Fang furrowed his brow, “Speak!”
“Young Master Fang and I are drug buddies!”
The room once again plunged into a heavy silence.
“Impossible!!!”
“Impossible!!!”
Liu Lan and Fang Zhentao declared in anger simultaneously.
Old Master Fang’s face turned extremely grim—as a precaution, he originally intended to have Ming Yao test Fang Zhuoran, but fearing others might be skeptical, he had Steward Zhong call for another doctor.
Fang Zhuoran was thoroughly panicked; he refused to have his blood drawn, but Old Master Fang was resolute about investigating the matter, ordering people to hold Fang Zhuoran down and forcibly draw his blood.
Within an hour, the results were in.
The doctor nodded, confirming that Fang Zhuoran had indeed taken drugs.
Old Master Fang and Old Madam Fang’s faces suddenly turned pale.
They looked at Fang Zhuoran in disbelief.
Fang Zhuoran was considered the most outstanding among the younger generation. Old Master Fang had high hopes for him in the past.
He knew full well how much he despised those involved with those substances, yet he—
Old Master Fang was so angry that he nearly couldn’t catch his breath until Ming Yao quickly stepped forward and fed him a medicine pill.

Old Master Fang caught his breath and with veins bulging on his forehead, he angrily said, “Fang Zhentao, such a fine son you’ve raised!”
Fang Zhentao hadn’t expected Fang Zhuoran would touch that kind of stuff; he knelt on the ground, trembling, his face ashen.
“Dad, Zhuoran would never do such a thing; someone must be framing him!” Liu Lan glared furiously at Gu Siting, “I know you’ve always favored the people from the second branch; you want to bring down our Zhuoran to support someone from the second branch to take over, don’t you?”
Then she pointed at the reticent Fang Chimo, “Look at him, he can’t even spit out a word all day, can’t fart with three hops, what capability does he have to inherit the Fang Family’s power?”
Fang Keer, seeing Liu Lan talk about her brother like this, was livid, “Great Aunt, what right do you have to belittle my brother?”
“Did I say something wrong? Your brother’s worse than someone with autism!”
“Don’t you dare talk about my brother like that!” Fang Keer rushed at Liu Lan.
Seeing this, Fang Zhuoran raised his hand to slap Fang Keer’s face, but the next second, his hand was grabbed by a delicate white hand.
Ming Yao was closer to Fang Keer, and she swiftly grabbed Fang Zhuoran’s wrist.
Fang Zhuoran, thinking Ming Yao was just a woman, expected to quickly withdraw his hand, but with her holding on, he found himself unable to pull away for a moment.
As Ming Yao took hold of Fang Zhuoran’s wrist, she conveniently checked his pulse.
From the first glance at Fang Zhuoran, she noticed he had kidney deficiency.
This pulse check revealed that he had not only kidney deficiency but also—
Ming Yao let go of Fang Zhuoran’s wrist and said coldly, “According to the rules of the Fang Family, someone with aspermia is also ineligible to inherit power, right?”
What???
Everyone was extremely shocked.
Of course, Fang Zhuoran was the most shocked of all.
Did Ming Yao actually know?
Old Master Fang, seeing the expression on Fang Zhuoran’s face, suddenly realized what was happening.
“One harbors snakes, two abuses drugs, three aspermia; you’ve committed all my taboos!”
Old Master Fang’s anger surged and he hysterically shouted, “To the confinement room, no leaving the house for three months, and in addition, stripped of the Fang Family heir’s title!”
Liu Lan, Fang Zhentao, and Fang Zhuoran all turned pale as frost.
All was lost; everything was over!
Fang Zhuoran hadn’t even thought that he just couldn’t stand Ming Yao, wanting to stand up for Shi Yuan, to make Ming Yao disliked by Old Madam Gu. He didn’t expect that he would end up ruining himself!
Old Madam Gu also didn’t expect the situation to take such a turn, and then another.
The issue involving the crane and the snake; she had wronged Ming Yao, but she couldn’t swallow her pride to apologize.
Her face at the moment, turned from green to purple with embarrassment.
She lowered her eyes and let Wen Qing help her leave.
Old Master Fang was fuming and breathing with difficulty; Ming Yao administered an acupuncture treatment to him, and after stabilizing his heartbeat, she left the room.
She thought Gu Siting would be waiting for her at the door, but she didn’t see him.
She returned to the small courtyard, still no sign of him.
She furrowed her brows, faintly sensing something was amiss.
It seemed like he was intentionally avoiding her.
What was he trying to do?
He couldn’t bear to see her wronged, yet he deliberately avoided her?
Just as Ming Yao was about to call him, a graceful figure entered through the courtyard gate.
Shi Yuan had arrived.
Seeing Ming Yao, Shi Yuan’s lips curled up into a meaningful smile, “You’re actually quite pitiable.”
Ming Yao, “…” Does this person have a problem?
“Do you know that room at the end of the corridor on the third floor of Imperial Garden is Fourth Brother’s forbidden area? He must have never let you in since you married him, right?”
Ming Yao’s breath hitched.
She suddenly remembered the words of Steward Zhong when she was interviewing for the job of Little Maid.
—— Do not go to the third floor, and even if you do, never enter the last room at the end of the corridor; that is Fourth Master’s forbidden area.
