Shen Zhengyang went to the palace early in the morning, and came back from outside when it was almost dark. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the steward say that Wanfeng and his friends were picked up by the people sent by the shopkeeper of Yipinzhai. No wonder he didn't hear the voice of the child when he came back, nor did he see Wanfeng and Xiangnan.

"Yeah." He knew that Yipinzhai had arranged a place for Xiangnan and his friends to live, and the place was not far from their courtyard. Anyway, they had moved out now, and Shen Zhengyang couldn't ask them to move back.

They were in Fengdu, and he would go find them tomorrow when he was free.

He hadn't visited the store yet, and the opening date was approaching soon. He had to find time to go to the store tomorrow to take a look, and then he would find Xiangnan.

"Young Master, have you had your meal..." Seeing that his young master came back so late, the steward was afraid that his young master was hungry outside, so he followed carefully and asked.

"Yes." Waving his hand to stop the steward from continuing, Shen Zhengyang walked into the house first. After entering the palace, he felt as tired as if he had been riding a horse for three days. Now he just wanted to lie on the bed and rest.

Bai Zhi knew that their young master was tired, so she winked at the steward, and the steward understood. Before entering the house, Bai Zhi ordered the servants who followed behind to bring water to the young master's room so that the young master could take a hot bath before going to bed.

The little slave responded and went downstairs to prepare water.

It was dark outside, the candlelight in the house flickered, the person sitting in the bathtub leaned back, soaked in the warm water, and closed his eyes comfortably. The little servant behind him held a cloth in his hand, wiping along their young master's shoulders and moving forward. His hand touched every inch of skin, and his eyes fell on their young master's face. There was greed in his eyes, and he was reluctant to look away.

Today, when he went to the palace, Bai Zhi followed his young master. Naturally, she heard the noble master talking about their young master's marriage, and wanted to find a son of an official family for their young master, who was well-educated and well-mannered. He knew that as a servant, he could not dream of things that did not belong to him, but the human heart was always greedy, wanting more, more.

"Young Master, the water is getting cold. You should get up." The water in the tub was getting colder. Bai Zhi put away the sadness in her eyes and called the young master softly in his ear.

"Yeah." Shen Zhengyang was a little drowsy, and he was still reluctant to move when he heard the voice.

"Young Master."

Bai Zhi called him again from behind him, and Shen Zhengyang got up from the tub lazily. In front of this young servant who had served him for so many years, he had nothing to hide, and he let his young servant serve him as usual.

Bai Zhi carefully served his young master, and when he got up from the tub, he dressed his young master, and when he saw that he fell asleep on the bed, he covered him with a quilt. His eyes lingered on the sleeping face in front of him for a moment before he retracted them and turned away.

The servant who came in quietly packed up the things in the room and blew out the candles on the table. The last person to leave the room quietly closed the door.

The person standing outside the door sighed softly and turned away.

There is no curfew in Fengdu City at night. There are streets at night, and people will go out to the night market at night. There are also some small stalls set up on the street to sell food, and passers-by will sit down and have a bowl of food.

After nightfall, the fireworks area in the city is the busiest time of the day. The brothels that were closed during the day are open for business at night. There are big red lanterns hanging in front of the door, and the seductive guys are soliciting customers in front of the door, boldly seducing the passing old men and young men to go in.

The old men and young men in the city are not worried about having nowhere to go. At this time, they go out to drink some wine, find a young and beautiful boy to serve them, and indulge in the gentle countryside. There is always nothing happier than this.

In the brothel, there are swallows of laughter and chatter, welcoming people, seeing people off, a night of love, but the love is always no match for the heartless, leaving only sadness.

There is no one in the alley, and a carriage stopped there at some point.

A tall figure went out of the small door at the back, got on the carriage waiting outside, and sat in. The expressionless guard drove the carriage, followed by guards on both sides, and left with the sound of horse hooves, and the group walked silently.

The master in the house had fallen asleep, and the little slave guarding the door was dozing off. He heard the approaching footsteps and woke up suddenly. The master had already come to him.

Feng Lingxiao looked down at the little slave who was dozing off on the doorstep.

"Master." The little slave called respectfully, "The master has fallen asleep."

The little slave guarding the door understood that the master came to see their master, so he turned around and pushed open the door.

Master Feng Si walked in and said, "You don't need to guard here anymore."

"Yes, thank you, Master." The little slave knew that this master wanted to stay with his master tonight. Ershun was not happy because he didn't have to stay here to guard the night. He was afraid that this master would wake up his master. In fact, he wanted to stay here to serve his master.

When this master went into the house, Ershun was still standing outside. Ah Wu, who had been standing beside him for some time, pulled him. He turned around and glared at Ah Wu, and then left reluctantly. He couldn't disobey the master's order.

Looking at the little slave who was sulking alone, Ah Wu showed a little impatience on his paralyzed face and followed the little slave resignedly. He raised his eyes and glanced at his brother standing in the dark. The two men exchanged glances, and Ah Wu confidently handed the place over to these former brothers.

The room was quiet. The people on the beds had fallen asleep, breathing regularly, and didn't know he was here. The court has been busy recently, and only at this time can he spare the time to come here, just to take a look at the man inside, and to sleep with him for a while at night.

Feng Lingxiao sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the sleeping man in the night light coming in from the window, raised his hand, and fell on his face, and then on his protruding belly, and a little tenderness appeared in his deep eyes.

If he didn't know his feelings for this person before, then now all the things that he had deliberately ignored before have come to his mind. He clearly understood that Fang Ziye was different to him. Only such a person would make him worry about him. Even at such a critical moment of life and death, he would come here at night to take a look at this person, and he would feel at ease.

It would be best to send this person away from Feng at this time. Rather than sending him away, Feng Lingxiao would rather keep him by his side. Whether it was selfishness or self-confidence, this world would sooner or later belong to him, Feng Lingxiao, including the person in front of him, who would only belong to him, Feng Lingxiao.

The palm of his hand was pressed against his belly, feeling the life inside. Whenever he thought that this was their child, he felt a burst of joy in his heart for no reason. This joy was something he had never experienced before.

The person who fell asleep did not know what he dreamed about. His frowning brows did not make him sleep peacefully. It was not until he fell into a familiar embrace that his brows relaxed, he murmured, and his sleepy eyes became peaceful.

A dark night passed quickly, and the next day, before dawn, the people in the house woke up. Seeing that it was getting late, the servant had to urge his master to hurry up outside the window, because the carriage was waiting outside for the morning court.

"The door of the house opened, and there was no sound at all. The master who came out did not look very good, and glanced at the servant who had just urged him.

The servant who was glanced at by their master shrank his neck, and almost reached out to touch his cold neck. As long as their master came to this master, he would raise his head and call their master to get up every day. Seeing their master strode away, he did not care about the sin of calling their master to get up. , and felt that he had lost his life again.

The sky was covered with wind and clouds. The dark clouds faded and gradually became lighter. The sky turned pale and it was almost dawn. There were small stalls in the streets, and people lined up outside the city gates waiting to enter the city.

When the time came, the general guarding the gate gave the order, and the soldiers opened the city gates from the inside.

The city was quiet all night, but when the city gates were opened the next day, it gradually became lively again. Gradually, the city became lively. This cycle repeats itself over and over again. When the city gates opened, the old men who had arrived earlier in the queue would go into the city first, carrying their baskets. If they were lucky, they would meet a restaurant or a house that wanted vegetables, and they would be able to sell all the vegetables on the baskets in one trip.

As more people entered the city, more stalls were set up on the streets, and more people walked.

The sun in the east was setting . When the tree was on the branch, the person who was asleep in the room woke up quietly. He saw the empty space and touched it. It was still warm. Fang Ziye knew Feng Lingxiao had stayed here last night.

But when he woke up, the person had gone to the morning court. He was the only one left in the room. He

took a deep breath and exhaled, feeling indescribable.

"Hmm..." Suddenly he was kicked in the stomach, and his eyes widened suddenly. The familiar touch told him that the baby in his belly kicked him. Surprise appeared in Fang Ziye's eyes. This was the first time the baby moved.

Moved, moved, moved. The little slave outside the house was guarding there. Seeing that it was almost time, he knew that his master should have woken up by now. Ershun waited outside for a while, but he didn't hear any sound from inside, and confusion appeared on his face.

His master hasn't woken up yet? Ershun raised his eyes to the tree in the yard and waited for a moment.

"Master, master. "After waiting for a while, the little slave called out twice outside.

When he heard the master's voice, Ershun led the people in and asked the people who followed him to wait outside first, and he went in to change the master's clothes. But today, for some reason, Ershun always felt that his master was very happy.

"Go and ask someone to prepare the carriage. I'm going to Yipinzhai." After putting on his clothes and sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Fang Ziye ordered while watching the little slave behind him combing his hair.

"Master, I'll ask someone..." Under the gaze of his master, the little slave Ershun obediently swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach, responded with a "yes", and went out to ask someone to prepare the carriage.

After a while, the people in the room came out and got on the carriage waiting outside.
