Fu Beimo was outside the house. He stretched his neck but still couldn't see anything, so he simply went back to the library.
Inside the house, Yan Funing asked Long Xu to put the crossbow away. "Grandfather told us not to show it to others. Hiding it in the library like this, what if someone who comes to read finds it?"
"Don't worry, cousin. I am the only one who can enter this room. No one else is allowed to enter without permission."
Long Xu locked the drawer where the crossbow was stored.
Then, the cousins returned to the room where Fu Beimo was.
There were so many books that it took a long time to sort them out. They were finally finished in the evening and Yan Funing asked to go back.
Long Xu said, "Have dinner before returning. My father, mother, and concubine are out today, and it would be pitiful for me to eat alone."
"If you don't want to stay, then don't stay!" Fu Beimo pulled Yan Funing's sleeve, "Sister-in-law, let's go home quickly. If brother goes home early and finds out that we haven't returned, he'll be angry."
It was his fault for not showing him the treasure, so he had to bear the consequences of having dinner alone.
"Let's do it another day, little cousin. It's better for Bei Mo and I to go back before dark." Yan Funing said again.
"Alright, be careful on the road."
Long Xu personally escorted his uncle and sister-in-law out of the house.

Prince Jin's Mansion at this moment.
Long Yi went to the concubine.
"Why are you here?" the concubine asked. She eventually ordered the servants to bring more bowls and chopsticks, then asked, "How did you find time to accompany mother?"
Long Yi sat down beside the Concubine Dowager and said, "Mother, I want to bring Wanyou and her son back home."
"Are you talking about Wanyou and Wenyu?" The concubine picked up some food for her son. "Have you confirmed their identities?"
"It's confirmed." Long Yi nodded. "Not only Wanyou and Wenyu, but Wanyou also gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. You will definitely be happy to see them."
"Twins, a boy and a girl? That's quite rare." The concubine smiled, then suddenly stopped. "You abolished Ling's position as princess just to welcome Wanyou back?"
Long Yi did not hide it from his mother and said frankly: "That's right, and the position of princess consort originally belonged to Wanyou."
The Toffee ate his meal, chewing it slowly, and did not respond immediately.
"Mother doesn't agree?" Long Yi asked again.
"What difference does it make to you whether I agree or not?" the concubine asked.
"Then my son will take it as his mother's consent."
The concubine smiled faintly: "I heard that Wanyou is not in good health now?"
"It's not good. She can't see anymore and has forgotten everything in the past. She doesn't even remember me. I just want to bring them back and make amends as much as possible."
Upon hearing this, the concubine raised her eyebrows and said, "In that case, bring him back as soon as possible."
"Thank you, mother!"

When Yan Funing and Fu Beimo returned to the Fu family, Fu Ciyi also happened to return.
The three met at the gate of the mansion.
"What a coincidence." Yan Funing said with a smile.
"Where have you been?" Fu Ciyi asked indifferently.
"To return the medical book, I went with my sister-in-law." Fu Beimo said.
The three of them entered the mansion and walked towards the dining room.
Seeing her mother-in-law walking slowly, supported by Fu Nanyao and Meng Li, Yan Funing turned the corner. Meng Li made room so Yan Funing could support Wan Niang's other arm.
"Mom, how are your eyes this afternoon?" Yan Funing asked.
Wan Niang said gently, "It's smoother than before. Your treatment must be effective."
Seeing that his sister-in-law was a little far away from them, Fu Beimo lowered his voice and said, "Brother, you have to keep an eye on your sister-in-law. Long Xuxu seduced her today."
He looked very angry.
"Long Xu seduced her?" Fu Ciyi's handsome brows frowned instantly.
"Well, they were hiding in the corner of the house, talking and laughing, and they wouldn't let me eavesdrop or peek. But I was wary and followed them secretly. From a distance, I heard them bragging to each other, and my sister-in-law praised Long Xuxu for being so great."
Talking about this, he became even angrier.
My sister-in-law hasn't praised him for a long time, but today she actually praised Long Xuxu.
After hearing what Bei Mo said, Fu Ciyi looked at Yan Funing with a cold look in his eyes.
She actually dared to praise the other man, so what about him?
What's so great about the man next to him?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was not right. He really wanted to pull her back to her room and ask her about it. However, it was dinner time, so he had to endure it.
Soon, everyone entered the dining room.
During the meal, Yan Funing noticed that Fu Ciyi had a gloomy face, so she asked him quietly, "But what problems did you encounter on duty today?"
"No."
The man's voice was calm.
"That's good." Yan Funing didn't think about it and continued eating.
What surprised her was that someone always went back to her room with her after dinner, but tonight he went to his study without saying a word.
She caught up with him.
"Husband, do you have any official business to attend to?"
The man didn't answer her and walked faster and faster.
Next to him was the courtyard where he had imprisoned her in his previous life. For some reason, he had felt a sense of fear when passing by in the past, but not to the point where he couldn't move his feet like he did now.
And tonight's fear seemed to have reached its peak.
She stopped and decided not to follow.
He ignored her when she spoke to him, so why should she chase him?
He immediately turned around and trotted towards the main courtyard.
Fu Ciyi noticed that she hadn't caught up with him, and the anger that had been accumulating in him since the evening grew stronger. Now, hearing her footsteps getting farther and farther away from him, he could no longer suppress his anger.
In just a moment, he flashed in front of her, as if kidnapping her, he picked her up sideways and walked straight into the yard.
It happened to be the courtyard where the prisoners were imprisoned.
Yan Funing's heart was beating like a drum: "You, Fu Ciyi, there's something wrong with you! Put me down now, it's dark here, I don't like it here!"
The man held her knee with one hand and held her back with the other.
