He was in a state of confusion.

Madam Tong fell asleep unknowingly while lying on the bed. In her dream, she saw her husband Shangguan Xuan who had passed away many years ago.

At that time, the two had just gotten married, and Feng Yin brought his wife and their son, Feng Chenyu's brother Feng Chenlang, to their house.

Several people sat around the fire, and the two gentlemen had a long conversation, all about the country, the people, and the great cause for the future.

The two ladies would chat about family matters or play with Feng Chenlang from time to time.

Just as they were chatting happily, Mrs. Tong suddenly woke up.

She slowly sat up, thinking about everything that happened in her dream, and tears couldn't help but slide down her cheeks like beads.

This was the first time she dreamed of her husband after so many years of his death.

In the hall of the pharmacy, Madam Tong, who had just finished counting the second batch of medicinal materials, invited Feng Chenyu to have some tea before leaving.

Putting down the teacup in her hand, she spoke reluctantly,

"Now that the goods are ready, when will my nephew leave?"

Feng Chenyu lowered his head and thought for a moment.

"Actually, I came to Ganzhou this time not only to purchase medicinal materials but also to do some important things. I won't leave until I've finished those things."

"Oh, are your parents in good health recently?"

Mrs. Tong is concerned.

Feng Chenyu hurriedly replied,

"Father is in good health. Although mother is not in good health, she has been under the care of doctors in the mansion, so she is fine."

"Where's your eldest brother? The last time I saw him, he was just seven years old, and you were just over three."

Mrs. Tong greeted them one by one.

Feng Chenyu raised the corner of his lips slightly,

"My eldest brother has been stationed outside the border in recent years, and everything has been going well."

Upon hearing this, Madam Tong nodded slightly.

"That's good."

After drinking a sip of tea, Feng Chenyu asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

"How is Madam Shangguan these days?"

Mrs. Tong smiled.

"She's fine, but she hasn't been out much lately. She's been stuck in the house studying eggplant bags."

After leaving the pharmacy, Feng Chenyu and Ma Su walked aimlessly on the street.

"What's the progress with Shao Hansu?"

Feng Chenyu suddenly spoke.

"He has been in contact with Liang Yan recently."

Ma Sui replied.

"Find some time to meet him."

Feng Chenyu said softly.

In Liufeng Pavilion, Feng Chenyu held a wine glass and drank one glass after another.

"Is there something on your mind, sir?"

Xian Ning, who was playing the pipa, stopped.

After another glass of wine, Feng Chenyu looked up at her and said calmly,

"Nothing."

In fact, as soon as he came into this room, he would recall the scene when he first met Fuyao.

My mother's voice was heard outside the house again.

"Zhizhou, you are here."

This time, Xian Ning waited for a long time, but they did not invite her to join them.

Putting down the wine glass, Feng Chenyu stood up and walked to the window.

He remembered that Fuyao went down along the fence on the side of the window. Could it be that the man also entered and exited from the other side of the fence?

Without thinking too much, he jumped out of the window.

Looking at his back as he jumped down, Xian Ning remained silent, although she didn't know what he was going to do.

After getting off the fence, Feng Chenyu turned left along the wall and came to the back of the house.

There is a narrow street here, and looking up you can see the rows of houses opposite.

The door of one house seemed to have been renovated recently, and the overall appearance was black and shiny. This door seemed to be facing Liufeng Pavilion.

Suddenly the door opened and a young man came out. Judging from his clothes, he didn't look like an ordinary citizen.

Feng Chenyu followed him quietly.

He entered a teahouse, which was the place where he and Shao Hansu had drunk tea before.

After a while, the man came out carrying a bag.

Feng Chenyu pretended to be a customer drinking tea and entered the teahouse, passing by the man.

"Mr. Chen is here."

The doorman recognized him.

Feng Chenyu smiled and sat on a table on the inside of the door.

"A pot of Shuangjing tea."

"Okay!"

The guy walked in with a loud voice.

While he was serving tea, Feng Chenyu spoke seemingly casually,

"You guys don't just drink tea here, it seems quite a few people are buying tea as well. The official who just left seemed to have brought some tea with him."

"Of course not. Even though this is a teahouse, we also sell some high-quality and expensive teas that you can't buy outside."

The guy said proudly.

"Good tea that can't be bought outside?"

Feng Chenyu seemed to be unconvinced.

"Really? The gentleman just now came here specifically to buy tea for his master."

The man is getting excited,

"I heard his master is from Huaichang and is quite picky about food. When he's free, he comes to drink tea with us. If he's not free, he asks the servants to buy some tea and brew it for him."

At this point, Feng Chenyu seemed to have a direction in his mind.

The spring sunshine filled every corner of the house. Fuyao lay on the table with his hands on his chin.

"My dear, why haven't you been out for a walk these past few days?"

Qing Ning asked curiously while wiping the table.

"What's getting better? Ganzhou City is so small, there must be something I'm not familiar with."

Fuyao still maintained the same posture without moving.

“Mr. Shen came to ask you to go out and play a few days ago, why didn’t you see him?”

Green Lemon continued.

Fuyao glanced back at her without saying anything.

Fuyao used to think that she and Shen Lingze had a brother-sister relationship, but later she gradually felt that Shen Lingze seemed to be more than just a sister to her.

Especially that day in Washe, Cao Cang and Cao Wei's expressions and words made her feel more and more that something was not right.

But she really only regarded him as her brother, so when he came to see her again, she refused.

I don't want to be alone with him anymore, and I don't want him to misunderstand me anymore.

As she was speaking, someone came to the front yard and said that Shao Hansu came to see her.

Fuyao stood up suddenly. He seldom came to the mansion. What could have happened?

Thinking about it, she walked out quickly.

Seeing Shao Hansu standing in the hall, she shouted,

"Brother Shao."

"I just happened to be passing by here after finishing my work, so I came to see you."

Shao Hansu turned around and looked over.

Because Fuyao was not in a good condition when they separated last time, he was a little worried.

After hearing his intention, Fuyao understood instantly.

"I'm fine."

"I just heard from the servant that you haven't been out for the past few days. Do you want to go out for a walk together?"

Shao Hansu smiled.

So the two of them left the house together.

The streets were crowded and lively.

"Are you familiar with Chen Yu?"

Shao Hansu suddenly asked.

Fuyao turned around and looked at him while walking.

"fine."

Speak of the devil and he will appear. Walking towards them were Feng Chenyu and Ma Sui.

"Mr. Shao is really hard to get an appointment with!"

Feng Chenyu stopped and said something with hidden meaning.

"I wonder what's the matter, sir?"

This time Shao Hansu changed his name.

Feng Chenyu lowered his head and smiled. It seemed that he knew his identity.

"Since Judge Shao already understands, why is he still trying to shirk responsibility?"

Fuyao listened to the conversation between the two with an expressionless face.

"Young Master?"

She looked at Shao Hansu in confusion.

Before, Ma Chong always called him "Young Master", and she thought it was a respectful title.

But Brother Shao also calls him Young Master?

The latter lowered his head and smiled,

"Doesn't Fuyao know yet? The Chen Yu standing before us is none other than the second son of General Feng, Feng Chenyu."

Fuyao looked at the person standing opposite her in surprise.

She actually knew a long time ago that his identity was not simple, but she never expected it to be like this.

"Fuyao."

Feng Chenyu called out softly with an apologetic tone.

He had planned to tell her his true identity in person after the matter was over, but later he gave up the idea after learning about Madam Tong's thoughts.

Slowly, the corners of Fuyao's mouth crackled, and there were ripples in his dark eyes.

"Since you two have important matters, I will take my leave now."

Without waiting for others to react, she turned and left quickly.

"What do you want from me, sir?"

Shao Hansu's greeting on the street brought Feng Chenyu back to his senses.

The gaze that followed Fuyao away swept towards him coldly.

"Brother Shao, don't you really understand what I mean?"

"Sir, aren't you here to buy medicinal herbs this time?"

Shao Hansu still pretended to be confused.

Feng Chenyu looked him up and down with a burning gaze.

"Fuyao always said that Brother Shao was upright and caring about the people. But is he really like that when things really get tough?"

"That box of things was left to me by the young master last time, right?"

Shao Hansu's face was calm.

Feng Chenyu did not answer, just waited for him to continue.

"I have already investigated this matter. Young Master Liang is unaware of it, but he is willing to help. After all, no one with aspirations wants to see the country in turmoil and the people suffer. But he has one condition. If this matter is exposed in the future, I hope Your Majesty will spare his father's life so that he can take care of him until his death."

Fuyao walked aimlessly, not knowing how she got home.

"Young lady."

Seeing her enter the yard, Qingning greeted her.

Fuyao said nothing and walked into the house like a wooden man.

Seeing this, Qing Ning didn't dare to say anything more.

Turning around, she saw the dagger Feng Chenyu had given her on the table and smiled self-deprecatingly.

It turned out that I had been indulging in the beautiful dream I had woven for myself, and had been longing for someone I shouldn't have longed for, someone I didn't want to meet in his true identity.

Walking to the table, she gently held the dagger in her hand and said to Qing Ning with a sad look,

"Please help me return it to its original owner."

As soon as Feng Chenyu returned to the old house, Qing Ning walked in.

Because Ma Sui knew her, he brought her directly to the yard.

Feng Chenyu was not in the mood to read at this moment. He just lowered his head and stared at the ground in a daze.

"Sir, Miss Green Lemon is here."

Ma Sui spoke.

Feng Chenyu looked up and saw the dagger in her hand, and instantly understood her purpose.

Qing Ning stepped forward and held the dagger respectfully in the center of his hands.

"My young lady asked me to return the dagger to you, sir."

Feng Chenyu did not move at all, and only asked,

"Did she say anything?"

Qing Ning shook his head, still holding the dagger in his hands.

Feng Chenyu's eyes were dim. After a few seconds, he slowly stood up and reached out to take the dagger.

Seeing that the young lady had finished what she had asked her to do, Qing Ning bowed and left.

Feng Chenyu was still standing in the courtyard, holding the dagger and feeling confused.

Ma Sui thought, no wonder I didn’t see the young master’s dagger a few days ago, it turns out he gave it to Madam Shangguan.

It seems that he is really special in the young master's heart, because this dagger was given by the general on his young master's tenth birthday.

The young master has always liked it very much and does not allow anyone to touch it.
