Shi Yangyang shouted at Fu Ciyi's back: "How can you talk like that?"
Yan Funing patted Fu Ciyi's arm, signaling him not to get angry. She turned around and said, "My apologies, Lord, but Master Fu and I are about to leave. Can I come back and discuss the pulse diagnosis later?"
Long Chi'an said, "It will probably take you quite some time to leave the capital. Is it not too much for me to ask you to take my pulse right now?"
"That's certainly not an exaggeration, but if I were to take the prince's pulse, I would probably prescribe medicine. Something happened after the prince took the medicine, and I'm not in the capital. If I were to hold him accountable..." Yan Funing smiled faintly, "It's mainly because of this consideration. Furthermore, the prince's condition is stable during the summer, so there's no need to take his pulse urgently."
Long Chi'an then stood up leisurely and said, "Then I wish you a safe journey."
"Thank you, Prince."
Yan Funing nodded.
Then he took Fu Ciyi out of the front hall.
Seeing Di Feng, he asked, "Guard Di, where is my father?"
"The master is waiting for Master Fu in the study." Di Feng bowed respectfully. "The madam is waiting for the second young lady in the main courtyard."
The two had to go their separate ways.
Fu Ciyi, led by Di Feng, arrived at Yan Cheng's study.
Yan Cheng was lighting incense. Seeing someone approach, he said calmly, "Are you here?"
Fu Ciyi greeted him: "Father-in-law."
Yan Cheng put away the fire starter and pointed at the white smoke rising from the incense.
"This kind of incense can keep away scholar bugs and repels insects, but it cannot kill the big, hidden bugs."
“When it’s shrouded in smoke, you can’t see clearly, but you can still get a glimpse of it.”
"There are corrupt officials in the imperial court, such as Cai Tingzhou. Do you think the emperor didn't know about it before you impeached him?"
Fu Ciyi humbly asked for advice: "Please enlighten me, father-in-law."
Yan Cheng waved his hand.
Di Feng understood and immediately went to guard outside the study.
Yan Cheng said, "On this trip to Ling County, you must distinguish between public and private grudges. Some things are not urgent, and some things can be done when you want to."
Fu Ciyi's brows furrowed when he heard this, and he guessed, "Father-in-law means that we should clean up what needs to be cleaned up, and keep what needs to be kept, so that we can catch bigger fish?"
Yan Cheng nodded with satisfaction: "You can handle this kind of situation on your own."
"I understand."
Suddenly, Yan Cheng changed his tone: "You are a troublemaker."
"Father-in-law, I don't understand."
Yan Cheng glanced at him sideways: "Go and find out how the Crown Prince and the other princes came about? Why was Long Chi'an given the imperial surname? That's because of him..."
Based on the intelligence of the troublemaker, I think he can guess something.
He didn't say it clearly.
Fu Ciyi didn't need to ask; he knew it since he was a child, so he bowed deeply and said, "It's all my son-in-law's fault. There has been a certain degree of rift between the Duke's Mansion and the Princess's Mansion."
"Forget it." Yan Cheng sighed, "Fu Ning chose you herself, what else can I, as your father, do?"
He patted Fu Ciyi's shoulder and said, "You have to be a high-ranking official, so that I can protect you and Fu Ning. Do you understand?"
"My son-in-law understands."
He truly understands and knows this deeply.
Hearing the voice of a woman talking outside the study, Yan Cheng stepped out.
"Daddy." Yan Funing called sweetly, holding her mother's arm around her. "Mom and Dad, you don't have to think about me all the time. Just think about me occasionally. Your daughter will be back as soon as possible."
Hong Qingyi patted the back of her hand and said, "You kid." Turning to her husband, she said, "Fu Ning said she had a lot of experience traveling with Ci Yi and told us not to worry."
Now it seems that her youngest daughter is more resilient than she thought.
Yan Cheng nodded and said to Fu Ciyi, "Leave early and return early."
Hong Qingyi also said: "Ci Yi, don't worry about your family. Your mother and sister, I..."
Before she could finish her words, Fu Ciyi said hurriedly, "My mother hasn't decided yet about meeting with my mother-in-law. How about letting my son-in-law come back and discuss it later?"
"Okay, as you say." Hong Qingyi smiled.
But I was secretly complaining, is there such a big psychological barrier to meeting someone?
Soon, the Duke and his wife sent the two young people out of the house.
After the convoy was lined up, Yan Funing and Fu Ciyi got on, and Long Chi'an and others came out to see them off.
"Be careful on the road." Hong Qingyi waved her hand, "Take the main road, don't take the small road."
Yan Funing lifted the curtain: "Okay, mother, we've made a note of it."
In another car, Yan Bojian poked his head out and said, "Mom, please ask the eldest brother and the second brother to help keep an eye on East Third Street."
Although my sister has already informed Uncle and Aunt Liu about the business, if anyone goes to East Third Street to cause trouble, someone still needs to take action.
"Alright, alright, you better protect your sister." Yan Cheng shouted and said to Fu Ciyi, "Let's go."
Fu Ciyi nodded, and the convoy started moving forward.
The Fu family had two carriages, one in front and one at the end, driven by Fu Beimo Mengli and Fu Jiang Fu He respectively.
Fu Ciyi was sitting in his own car at the front.
Fu Beimo turned his head: "Brother, why don't you sit with sister-in-law?"
The two cars of the Yan family were in the middle of the convoy. My sister-in-law was in one and Yan San was in another.
In this case, the brother should go to his sister-in-law's car.
Fu Ciyi straightened his robe and said calmly, "We'll discuss it later."
They had just left the Duke's Mansion, and Tong's mother was right next to her. What's more, it would be more comfortable for him to have his own compartment.
After leaving the city gate, the convoy stopped temporarily.
Fu Ciyi ordered: "There is no need for two people to drive the car. One person per car will be enough. Take turns to rest."
Everyone agreed.
Fu Ciyi took the opportunity to get into the car where Yan Funing was.
Seeing this, Mother Tong said, "Master Fu, it would be better for you to go to your own carriage."
"We are going to Jinzhou this time. Does Mrs. Tong know why we need four cars?" Fu Ciyi said calmly.
Mother Tong stood in front of him and was stunned for a moment: "I don't know."
Fu Ciyi sat down beside Yan Funing and said coldly, "We've been on this journey, and we've spent quite a bit of time resting in the carriage at night. Madam Tong is old, so I think we should just go back to the Duke's Mansion."
"I won't go back. I have to take care of the young lady."
Mother Tong felt like a piece of colorful jade. She sat at the door of the car, but her eyes were fixed on Fu Ciyi.
Yan Funing raised her hand to cover her lips and smiled.
After she laughed twice, her hand was grabbed by Fu Ciyi.
Mother Tong immediately shouted, "Master Fu, it is inappropriate for you to do this. Please let my young lady go."
Fu Ciyi had no intention of letting go: "I'll just hold your hand."
Tong's mother blushed and said, "That's not possible. After all, you and my young lady haven't gotten married yet."
The fact that they were not married yet made Fu Ciyi's voice drop to a deep hue: "I can't hold my wife's hand?"
Caiyu suppressed a laugh: "Mother Tong, the young lady and the uncle are husband and wife, so holding hands is nothing."
Tong's mother had no choice but to turn a blind eye.
They have just set out, how should she take care of it in the future?
When it was time for lunch, the convoy stopped outside a restaurant along the way.
The group had a simple meal.
After dinner we set off again.
When getting in the car, Fu Beimo waved to Yan Funing: "Sister-in-law, come to our car."
Mother Tong stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Fu. My daughter can just take her own car."
When he turned around after saying this, he saw Fu Ciyi already helping Yan Funing into the carriage.
She was about to shout when Caiyu stopped her.
"The young lady and the young lady are husband and wife, and they are about to get married again. Doesn't Mother Tong hope that they can live happily together?"
