After a brief pause, she continued, "It's different at home. Aunt He and Aunt Lou often come over and chat with me, so I never feel lonely."
Fu Ciyi didn't want to explain the whole story, so he just nodded calmly: "You are right."
Yan Funing also sat down at the table: "In this case, the safety of the family must be guaranteed."
The man said, "I'm looking for some guards."
Yan Funing shook her head. "It's too soon since we set out. Even if we find the guards, we won't know their details. I think Bei Mo and Ali's skills have improved a lot. They should be able to protect our home."
"These two aren't calm enough after all." Fu Ciyi suddenly thought of someone, "Liu Chengwen is quite skilled."
Yan Funing nodded: "Yes, we are neighbors with the Liu family. I think it's okay to let Brother Chengwen help look after the house."
Fu Ciyi felt a little headache when he thought about how he and Liu Chengwen didn't get along well.
Yan Funing saw his concerns and said with a smile, "Leave this matter to me."
Fu Ciyi squeezed her hand: "Thank you."
"No need to thank me for this."
"I'm very grateful that you can accompany me to Beijing for the exam."
He was thankful that she was willing to accompany him.
"Didn't I accompany you during the Autumn Examination?" Yan Funing smiled charmingly. "Am I being very good to you?"
“Excellent.”
Sometimes he thought it was too good to be true.
"When will you test Bei Mo Ali's swordsmanship? If they are up to par, I'll have someone forge swords."
Yan Funing tried to pull her hand away from his palm, but he held it tightly instead.
After just a few breaths, he let go, stood up and left.
"When the weather is fine, we'll test them."
--
Two days later, the weather cleared up.
Fu Ciyi stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, while Li Xinheng, Fu Beimo, Meng Li and Caiyu lined up in front of him.
Yan Funing moved a chair and sat in the corridor to watch.
Fu Nanyao was limping back and forth in the outer room of the east wing.
He looked at the courtyard, occasionally glancing at Yan Funing. Although he wanted to know how Meng Li's skills were doing, he didn't go out.
Wan Niang said, "Walk around, go and see if you want to."
She was blind and couldn't see it, otherwise she would have watched such a lively scene carefully.
Fu Nanyao lowered her voice and said, "You can see it from this room."
Yan Funing heard the conversation in the east wing.
Her relationship with Fu Nanyao as sister-in-law lasted only about a year, and after that they had no relationship at all.
Now, let her do whatever she wants.
At this time, Fu Ciyi spoke: "The four of you practice martial arts every day. Today we will have a simple test. Show your true skills."
Four people said yes.
The first one to come up for the match was Li Xinheng.
Fu Ciyi still had one hand behind his back. Li Xinheng attacked with both fists and kicks, but still couldn't resist.
He was defeated in just three rounds.
The second one was Fu Beimo's turn.
Fu Beimo picked up a bamboo sword. After all, he had some martial arts skills, and the bamboo sword could also be considered a weapon. He held out until the sixth round and begged for mercy.
Next, Meng Li came on stage.
He also picked up a bamboo sword.
Unlike Bei Mo who has practiced martial arts since childhood, Meng Li's internal strength is very weak, but he has been practicing quite hard recently.
He held on until the fourth round and then left the game.
The last one to come on stage was Caiyu.
Caiyu, like Li Xinheng, had no weapons and rolled up her sleeves.
She looked at Yan Funing confidently, as if to say that she wanted to beat her son-in-law the day after the young lady's wedding.
It's a rare opportunity today.
However, she also knew her own limitations and said, "Girl, I will definitely make it to the second round. Just wait and see."
Yan Funing clenched her fists and encouraged her: "Caiyu, come on!"
Who would have thought that Caiyu would punch him.
There was a dull thud.
She fell to the ground with her legs spread out.
No one saw clearly how Fu Ciyi made his move, in fact, they couldn't even see whether he made any move at all.
Caiyu cried out loudly: "Miss, save me!"
In the past, only the master and servant would call each other "Miss", but now they no longer care about that.
Yan Funing hurried over to help her: "You fell and it hurts, where does it hurt?"
"My butt hurts." Caiyu cried with her teeth clenched.
Caiyu's body was quite solid, and Yan Funing couldn't help her up for a while. She thought Fu Ciyi had made some secret move, so she glared at him.
Li Xinheng stepped forward to help, grabbed Caiyu's arms and pulled her up.
Fu Ciyi glanced at the water stain on the stone floor and said calmly, "She fell by herself."
Yan Funing was shocked.
Fu Beimo helpfully added: "She fell even though she did that, which only shows that her base was unstable and she didn't even hit the target in the entire round."
As a result, Caiyu lost all her dignity and face, and even her butt hurt, so she could only cry even louder, grimacing.
Fu Ciyi slowly walked to Yan Funing's side and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "It seems that she can't protect you from now on."
What he said implied that after the divorce, Caiyu alone could not protect her.
Yan Funing was stunned.
Caiyu had just given her a look, but now they were the ones who were embarrassed.
No, how did someone know that Caiyu wanted to take the opportunity to beat him up?
And know her little thoughts.
To show that he hadn't seen through her, she didn't pretend not to hear what he said. She turned around and told Li Xinheng, "Brother Li, please take Caiyu back to her room."
Li Xinheng nodded and walked a few steps with Caiyu in his arms.
However, Caiyu hurt her hip after falling, and no matter how slowly she walked, the pain in her hip muscles made her frown.
Li Xinheng remembered that his mother often said that he was not sensible, so he bent down, imitated the way a young man carried a girl, picked up the girl horizontally, and walked away.
Caiyu's feet suddenly left the ground, and she kept yelling, "How dare you take advantage of me, you little bastard?"
