Having made up her mind, she returned home.
As soon as she returned to the mansion, she was surprised to find that someone had already returned.
Fu Ciyi asked calmly, "Where did you go?"
"Shopping and drinking tea." Yan Funing did not hide it from him.
Fu Jiang went with her, so there was no need for her to lie.
Besides, Fu Jiang had been waiting in the carriage and had not followed her into the teahouse, so he had no idea what she had said to the Shi brothers and sisters in the teahouse.
Fu Ciyi looked at Fu Jiang.
Fu Jiang nodded.
Seeing this, Yan Funing called Li Xinheng and Caiyu to help her move things, and pretended to be angry and went back to her room.
--
Not long after Yan Funing left the teahouse, the Shi brothers and sisters also returned home.
As soon as Long Chi'an returned to the study, Ying Qi came to report.
"Your Highness, Miss Fu Ning's background has not yet been investigated. Do I need to expand my scope?"
"But now Pengzhou has experienced spring floods. Over time, surrounding counties and cities will also experience floods, which will increase the difficulty of investigation."
Long Chi'an coughed twice, thinking that the spring floods were indeed a problem, and said, "Let's talk about it after a while, after the spring floods are over."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ying Qi bowed and retreated.
On the other side, Yan Funing had just returned to her room when Fu Ciyi followed her in.
He waited until Li Xinheng and Caiyu had moved everything in and left before he spoke: "Are you angry?"
"How dare I be angry?" Yan Funing sat down and took out each piece of newly bought jewelry to examine it. "I was just thinking that some people can even forget their mothers. If that happens, they will probably divorce their wives."
Upon hearing this, Fu Ciyi laughed angrily: "Do you think I deliberately didn't go to pick up my mother?"
"What else? I don't see you looking for anyone. How long are you going to put it off? The one in Qingshan Town, Ling County, is your mother."
Yan Funing put the jewelry back into the brocade box and closed the lid with a snap.
"After all, we only have nine months left as husband and wife. If you want to divorce me sooner, I have nothing to say."
"After all, the Prime Minister's daughter has already taken a fancy to you. She will be beneficial to your career, but I am just an orphan and can't help you at all."
After saying this, he shed tears sadly.
Crying silently.
She didn't know when her acting skills became so outstanding?
The performance was so real now that even she began to believe it.
Fu Ciyi frowned: "You know everything?"
Yan Funing covered her face and sobbed.
"How could I not know? When you won first place in the imperial examination, the Prime Minister's daughter sent her maid to check the list. On the day you were paraded through the streets, she was in the restaurant across from me, wearing a veil, and she fell in love with you at first sight."
The gentle voice was now filled with tears.
Fu Ciyi felt very uncomfortable when he saw her crying as if her whole body was about to break.
He gently grasped her wrist and pulled her up into his arms.
Yan Funing's tears flowed quickly, and her delicate body pretended to struggle in his arms.
"We are husband and wife in name only. It doesn't matter whether we separate earlier or later."
"Fu Ciyi, I am willing to fulfill your wish, as long as I can live. If I don't let you go, the powerful Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely not let me go easily."
His articulation was exceptionally clear, and his logic even clearer.
The story of a man being favored by a noble lady, while the woman herself is a lonely and helpless woman, is portrayed vividly.
When she talked about staying alive, she cried even harder.
She was already afraid that her life as a cannon fodder would be lost unexpectedly, and now after hearing this, she cried even more sincerely.
"I know that you've been attending banquets at the Prime Minister's Residence every day these past few days."
"I thought that if I didn't cry or make a fuss, I wouldn't cause you any more trouble."
"But I'm still your wife, Fu Ciyi. Tell me something. If you let me go now, I'll leave. If you don't, shouldn't you respect me and not get involved with other women?"
As she spoke, she raised her little face and stared at him with her wet eyes.
She spoke while eating, and Fu Ciyi felt an inexplicable dull pain in his heart.
"I will take care of this matter." He explained softly, "But the Prime Minister's Mansion hasn't said anything yet, so I can only play dumb."
He slowly rubbed the top of her head and gently wiped away her tears.
"Don't cry."
The little girl knew that her crying was really moving, and it made him have dirty desires that he shouldn't have in his heart.
Yan Funing leaned her forehead on his shoulder, grabbed his robe, and cried again.
The man stroked her back gently, his voice gentle: "You are crying like this, do you want me to kiss you?"
Hearing this, Yan Funing was startled and lowered her head to look at her chest.
When she cried before, he kissed away her tears one by one. Now her tears slid down her cheeks and fell on her chest.
Because the performance was too realistic, his bulging chest was now covered with tears.
If he wants to kiss...
Thinking of this, she hurriedly stopped crying, but she didn't want to hold it in too quickly and burped loudly.
Fu Ciyi followed her gaze and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, pinching her delicate face: "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm not thinking about going anywhere." Yan Funing sniffed and hurriedly turned her back to him.
The man grabbed her shoulders and made her face to face with him.
The little girl in front of me who can cry and laugh is still more interesting.
Great teasing.
"The court is currently facing a thorny issue. There's been a flood in Pengzhou. Since the Pengzhou prefectural governor sent a memorial to the capital, the flood is bound to get worse over time."
"Pengzhou?" Yan Funing blinked her watery eyes.
"Pengzhou is adjacent to Jinzhou. We passed through it when we entered Beijing. Do you remember?"
"Is it the state with no inns on the official road and poor economic conditions?"
