It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
In the east wing, Wan Niang called out to her daughter in the next room: "Nan Yao, come here."
Fu Nanyao was getting ready to go to bed when she heard her mother calling her, so she went over.
"Mom, why did you call me?"
"We had guests at dinner, and I didn't tell you directly because I wanted to save your face."
Fu Nanyao sat down next to her mother and said coquettishly, "Mom, what do you mean by this? I naturally hope that my brother and sister-in-law will be well. Besides, I really didn't know the details of that woman beforehand."
Wan Niang shook her head. "If a maid with such thoughts stays, there will be no peace in our family. They say that a harmonious family is the root of all prosperity. If our family harmony is destroyed by an outsider, wouldn't that be exactly what some sinister villains want?"
Fu Nanyao held her mother's arm: "Mom..."
Wan Niang sighed: "You should think carefully before going to bed. Do you know where you went wrong?"
Today is Ci Yi's birthday, she should be happy.
However, she felt conflicted whenever she thought of the children's father.
Although I have no memory of this person, I have been inexplicably depressed all day today.
She always felt as if she had suffered a great injustice, so after performing the coming-of-age ceremony for her eldest son early in the morning, she stayed in her room.
I stayed quietly and only went to the dining room at mealtimes.
Therefore, she was unaware that her daughter had taken the initiative to keep the woman, and only found out the whole story during dinner.
Fu Nanyao nodded, her voice softening. "I didn't think much about it originally. I just thought it was hard for my brother and sister-in-law to make money. Since someone sent a maid over and I needed her, I kept her."
Who would have thought that the woman would say one thing in front of you and another behind your back?
Yan Funing is a very nice sister-in-law, but when she thought of her saying in a light tone that she would break her leg and reconnect it, she began to be afraid of her.
For some unknown reason, she would get a little irritable about other things.
Thinking of this, she leaned on her mother's shoulder and said, "Mom, it was my fault. I almost got into trouble with someone else."

The moon is bright in the clouds, the moonlight is like a silver thread, and its shadow dances on the ground.
Prince Chi and his entourage arrived in Beijing late at night.
As soon as he returned to the study in the mansion, Ying Qi came to say goodbye.
"Your Majesty, I will now go to Qingshan Town, Ling County."
Prince Chi put one hand behind his back, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and did not respond to his words.
Elder Ding ordered Yingwu to fetch his master's cloak and said to Yingqi, "Your desire to teach Fu Jieyuan a lesson and help the prince vent his anger is understandable. But half a month has passed, and the prince hasn't mentioned it himself. If you say this, won't it only remind the prince of something he wasn't happy about?"
Ying Qi was stunned and quickly clasped his fists and said, "It's my fault!"
Elder Ding continued, "Your Highness, listen to me. Ying Qi's attack was reckless. If something happens to Fu Jieyuan and he can't go to Beijing for the exam, then Miss Fu Ning won't be able to go to Beijing either."
Hearing this, Prince Chi frowned and finally said, "Let's stop teaching him a lesson."
Ying Qi: "Your Majesty..."
"Your current responsibility is to investigate the several prefectures surrounding Jinzhou to see if there are any cases of missing baby girls."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Ying Qi took the order and left.
Ying Wu fetched a cloak and helped his master put it on, advising him, "I don't understand matters of the heart, but I know that the prince and Miss Fu Ning have a deep connection. In such a vast world, the prince has never met a woman like you. For the prince, there is an extraordinary fate. I believe that this fate will continue."
Prince Chi smiled, reached out and patted Yingwu's shoulder, then coughed a few times.
Ying Wu said in embarrassment: "The young lady said that the prince should not stay up late. I thought about waiting for the young lady to come to the capital. Should I file a lawsuit or not?"
Old Ding smiled and shook his head: "You kid."
Prince Chi also laughed.

Early the next morning.
Yan Funing woke up and was about to rub her eyes when she found herself being held in someone's arms.
"Hey, why aren't you sleeping in the study?"
She smacked him on the chest.
Fu Ciyi was sleeping soundly when she woke him up. He closed his eyes, raised his hand and clasped her wrist, saying in a low voice, "Sleep in the bedroom on your birthday night."
Yan Funing then remembered that he had made this request and said nothing more.
But sleeping in his arms made her body stiff. So she sat up to avoid the awkwardness of being so close to each other.
Who would have thought that when she sat up, her pajamas would slip off, revealing a plain undershirt.
What surprised her even more was that when she looked down, she found a red mark on the left side of her chest.
The red mark fell just above the curved edge of the dress, and was particularly striking in contrast to her fair skin.
Strawberry print?!
"Ahhh, Fu Ciyi!"
She clenched her fists and punched the man who was still lying there.
After being hit by her, Fu Ciyi woke up completely and looked at her: "What happened?"
Yan Funing pointed to her chest, realizing that it was inappropriate to be so disheveled. She quickly pulled her nightgown back up and asked angrily, "You did this?"
"It's me," the man admitted.
Yan Funing picked up a pillow and threw it at his head, but the man grabbed it.
"Yan Funing, didn't you agree to let me kiss you?"
"ah?"
Yan Funing let go of the pillow and pulled the quilt over herself.
Fu Ciyi put the pillow back to its original place and asked gently, "Do you need me to help you remember?"
"Memories of what?"
When she asked the question, she raised her eyes and saw a kiss mark on his white neck, right at his Adam's apple.
Seeing her staring at his Adam's apple, Fu Ciyi said, "You were the one who provoked me first."
"I……"
Yan Funing pressed her swollen temples, and her vague memories gradually became clearer.
Last night, she initially thought she was dreaming about having to serve him.
Shocked by reality, she covered her mouth.
Not letting him kiss her on the mouth, his kiss landed on her heart.
But why does the mark on his Adam's apple look so much like the kiss Yan Funing left on Fu Ciyi's neck in the dream?
No way?
What happened in the dream, she also did in reality?
Realizing this problem, she lowered her head and her face gradually turned red.
Fu Ciyi didn't notice that her face turned red. He just thought that she didn't remember anything because she was drunk, so he kept silent.
Then he added, "The Gentleman's Guide should be given to you."
The implication is self-evident.
Yan Funing muttered, "I'm not a gentleman."
Fu Ciyi said calmly, "Yes, it was your hands that first wandered over my body last night. Do you remember?"
Yan Funing wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. After a while, she asked, "Did I take off my clothes last night?"
She was afraid that she would be like herself in her dream, taking off her clothes and rubbing against him.
The man said, "That's not the case."
Yan Funing felt relieved and explained quietly, "Actually, my original intention was to allow you to kiss my neck, but I was drunk and my hands were unsteady, so I kissed the wrong place."
Her thought at the time was that she had kissed his Adam's apple, and at worst he could kiss her neck as well, and that would make things even.
I didn't expect that my arms and hands were unstable and fell on my chest.
Fu Ciyi's ears flushed, his Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was hoarse: "Actually, what's wrong with me kissing my legitimate wife?"
After a slight pause, he added: "Don't worry, I will take responsibility for this matter."
