Soon, he walked out.
Without waiting for her to ask, he tilted his head slightly and said, "I sleep in the study."
Upon hearing this, Yan Funing quickly walked to the window frame, watched him walk towards the room on the left, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Ciyi's ears twitched and his expression became even colder.
After closing the doors and windows, Yan Funing took off her wedding dress and washed up, only then she discovered that there was a jade pendant hanging around her neck.
The jade pendant is engraved with the word "Yan" and a lotus. Even a drop of water condensed on the lotus leaf is carved delicately and roundly.
It suits her name very well.
However, the book does not describe this jade pendant.

That night, Yan Funing had a dream.
The sky in the dream was the coldest time of winter, with frost and thick ice.
The sun was rising higher, but it was emitting a cold light, without any warmth at all.
She went to beg Fu Ciyi to let the Yan family go, but unexpectedly he locked her up in a separate courtyard.
The windows in the room were all nailed shut with wooden boards, and a few beams of light filtered through the gaps between the boards, illuminating the dust in the air.
Apart from that, the whole room was dark and cold.
She was shackled, with her hands tied behind her back to the chair and her legs tied to the chair legs.
Suddenly the door was pushed open, and when she saw the person coming, her eyes narrowed suddenly.
He brought a dagger!
In panic, she struggled.
However, he could not break free from the ropes that bound him, and his clothes opened slightly, revealing a white spot on his chest.
The man glanced at her and then looked away, as if looking any longer would pollute his eyes.
He was silent for a moment before pulling out the dagger, the blade gleaming coldly.
Seeing this, she pushed on her toes and used all her strength to move herself and the chair a few inches.
The man smiled, but his eyes were like ice, sinister and resentful.
He approached her and slowly ran the blade across her face. A little more pressure would have left a bloody gash on her face.
She didn't dare to move at all, even her breathing stopped in fear.
"what you up to?"
The tone was trembling and shrinking.
The man leaned over and leaned close to her ear. His voice was cold, yet it was like a demonic voice demanding death: "Guess, do I want to marry you, or kill you?"
Yan Funing woke up in shock!
The scene in the dream was something I had seen in a book. It was what happened when someone became a powerful official.
She held her beating heart. Judging from what they had done yesterday and the description in the book, he was still brooding over the cancellation of the engagement.
Now they have become husband and wife by accident, and their future days...
After tossing and turning for a while, she fell asleep again.
--
Early the next morning.
The maid lifted the bed curtain and called softly, "Miss, wake up quickly! The old master and the old lady are coming to the Fu family!"
"Who's coming?"
Yan Funing didn’t sleep well last night, and her eyes were half-closed at the moment.
"They are the young lady's grandparents."
Yan Funing then opened her eyes.
The maid in front of him had a round face and a round nose. She was Caiyu, the personal maid of the female supporting role.
Looking closely, I saw that her eyes were red and her eyelids were swollen, obviously she had been crying.
"Are you crying?" Yan Funing got out of bed and asked, "Why didn't I see you last night?"
Caiyu couldn't help shedding tears. "When the young lady got married, I was tied up at the Yan family. I was only released this morning. Together with the young lady's maid, I followed the old master and the old lady to the Fu family."
Hearing this, Yan Funing woke up immediately: "Who brought you here just now?"
Caiyu helped her get dressed and recalled, "An old maid, who seemed to be the one who worked for the second old lady of the Fu family."
Yan Funing's brows knitted together, "Could it be that the Yan family was also involved in the bride swap?"
Last night she thought that entering the wrong bridal chamber was a conspiracy of the Fu family. After hearing what Caiyu said, she couldn't help but think that the Yan family was involved as well.
"Switch the bride?" Caiyu asked in surprise, "So, the son-in-law has become the Second Master Fu?"
Yan Funing nodded.
"That's too much?" Caiyu rolled up her sleeves. "No, I have to beat him up and teach him a lesson. He'll obey my orders from now on!"
Yan Funing paused as she tied the belt. The supporting actress was so arrogant that even the maid beside her was so brave.
At this moment, a man coughed lightly at the door.
The master and servant looked over together and saw that it was Fu Ciyi. Caiyu clenched her fists and rushed over.
Yan Funing thought of someone scratching her face in her dream, and she felt scared and hurriedly pulled Caiyu's arm.
However, Caiyu was incredibly strong and was able to drag her away.
Seeing that the fist was about to hit Fu Ciyi, Yan Funing had no choice but to hug her.
"Caiyu, please be patient."
Fu Ciyi stood silently with one hand behind his back. After a moment, he said indifferently, "The elders of the two families are already in the front yard."
Caiyu then put down her fist and helped Yan Funing to dress up.
--
The morning light is rosy and the ground is covered with frost.
Although it is the first month of the year, the north wind is still blowing, and it is very cold and biting.
Yan Funing had a simple breakfast, gathered her cloak, and followed Fu Ciyi to the front yard.
Without waiting for them to greet him, the Second Old Master said directly, "Ci Yi, today, your eldest family will move to the countryside."
Fu Ciyi seemed to have expected this day to come and nodded indifferently.
Yan Funing was puzzled: "Why?"
The second old master picked up the teacup on the table and blew on it gently: "Wanniang is not my brother and sister-in-law's biological daughter, and the three children she gave birth to are naturally not of the Fu family's bloodline."
Yan Funing was shocked. The book said that the Fu family was divided into two branches, the eldest branch lived in the East Garden, and the second branch lived in the West Garden.
The old couple in the first house had a daughter named Fu Wanniang.
After Fu Wanniang gave birth to Fu Ciyi, she also gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.
Although the book does not mention Fu Wanniang's husband, it does write that the elderly couple in the first house loved their daughter so much that they raised their three grandchildren as their own grandchildren.
The book doesn't say that Wan Niang and her three children are not descendants of the Fu family.
