Yan Funing said softly, "Tong Cheng's words must be known to him sooner or later. As for Xiaoya, she's still young and has been waiting for her mother to return. We can't tell her, at least not us."
"I know how to tell Tong Ya that it's Tong Cheng's own business." Fu Ciyi pondered and said, "I'll go on duty first and come back in the evening to pick you up and go to East Third Street."
"Okay." Yan Funing agreed.
--
Fu Ciyi attended the morning court and arrived at the Hanlin Academy.
It was fine in the morning, but around noon, I started yawning non-stop.
The same is true for Yan Xinghe.
However, it was not time for lunch break yet, so he quietly wrote down the list he had written down last night in a notebook and walked over to Fu Ciyi.
Fu Ciyi was also writing a list.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up vigilantly, and saw that it was Yan Xinghe coming in, and he felt a little relieved.
The two exchanged the lists they had written.
“Some people really can’t see.”
Yan Xinghe sighed, sat down opposite Fu Ciyi, and suddenly yawned.
Fu Ciyi couldn't help but yawn as well.
The two looked at each other and laughed out loud.
"That place is really not a place for people to stay. I took a long bath and the fragrance on my body seemed to have just dissipated." Yan Xinghe couldn't help but complain.
"Me too." Fu Ciyi lowered his voice, "This way, I'll have less sleep."
"Oh, right. When I left this morning, my mother told me that the tenth day of this month is Fu Ning's birthday. She's always celebrated her birthday on the wrong date, moving it up. Now she can finally celebrate her real birthday. I hope you can come to the Yan family to celebrate it."
"Okay." Fu Ciyi agreed, "It's too late to celebrate my birthday at Prince Jin's Mansion, so I'll go to the Yan family."
"That day happens to be a holiday, so you should leave early."
"Can."
After the discussion, Yan Xinghe yawned and left Fu Ciyi's office.
At dusk.
Fu Ciyi got in the car and went straight back to Prince Jin's Mansion to pick someone up.
Yan Xinghe went to the Prince's Mansion.
When he arrived at the prince's mansion, the prince was surprised for a moment at his arrival.
The staff member said, "The news came that Lord Yan and his entourage were enjoying themselves at the Beauty Manor last night."
"Is there anything suspicious?" the prince asked vigilantly.
"They asked for two beauties. The housekeeper has checked them out and there's nothing suspicious about them. But the attendant next to Lord Yan might not be as good as he was. He left a lot of marks on the beauties and spilled a lot of wine. It seems he didn't accomplish anything."
The prince sneered: "Not all men are useful."
As long as Yan Xinghe can be used by him, it will be fine.
His followers followed him.
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and signaled the servant to invite Yan Xinghe in.
Yan Xinghe entered and saluted: "Greetings, Your Highness."
"Excuse me, please." The prince stood up to greet him. "How did you find time to come here today?"
"I came here for one person."
"Oh, who is it?"
Yan Xinghe hesitated to speak and looked at the people waiting in the prince's study.
The prince waved his hand and asked them all to leave.
Yan Xinghe then said, "A Ting from the manor, I would like to ask Your Highness, could you please not let her receive other people from now on?"
The prince laughed out loud: "Of course, I can give her to you, but the problem is that there are many people who like A Ting."
Yan Xinghe immediately said solemnly: "When Your Highness ascends to that position and feels that my merits are worthy, it will not be too late to give her to me."
The prince patted Yan Xinghe on the shoulder: "Okay!"
Only when you have desires and needs can you handle it easily.
The other side.
Fu Ciyi took Yan Funing to East Third Street.
The night market on East Third Street is already bustling.
When the carriage arrived, the large number of pedestrians forced it to slow down considerably. It usually took only a moment to reach the end of the street, but tonight it took quite a while.
Tong Cheng saw them coming and greeted them happily.
"Master Fu, Miss, we have made quite a few swords and daggers. Would you like to take them tonight?"
"No rush." Fu Ciyi said in a calm voice, "Actually, I came here today to tell you something."
Yan Funing touched Tong Ya's face and said, "Xiaoya, would you like to go to Chengwenlou for dinner with Sister Caiyu?"
"Okay." Tong Ya went to hold Caiyu's hand.
Seeing them leave, Tong Cheng realized something and the smile on his face slowly faded: "Is there something you can't let Xiaoya hear?"
Fu Ciyi raised his hand, signaling to talk inside the shop.
Several people entered the shop.
"Is there any news about Xiaoya's mother?" Tong Cheng asked anxiously.
"It's indeed news about Xiao Ya Niang," Fu Ciyi said. "The Crown Prince has a manor for beauties, and there's a woman there who has a handkerchief with the word 'Ya' embroidered on it. I've inquired about the information, and it seems your wife did stay there. Although there's no final confirmation, it's probably true."
"Where is she now?"
"He is no longer in this world." Fu Ciyi said directly.
Tong Cheng's figure flashed, and he quickly laughed bitterly: "Actually, I guessed that she might be gone, but I didn't expect that she would be connected with the prince."
"Originally, I didn't want to tell you this so soon."
At least wait until the prince is dethroned.
But then he thought again, he had promised Tong Cheng that he would tell him when he had any news.
Keep your word.
Tong Cheng shook his head: "No, Master Fu should have told me earlier, so that I wouldn't have to waste time and effort looking for her."
As he spoke, he smiled bitterly and said, "So, what people said back then about her running away with a strange man is true. I just didn't expect that the man she ran away with was related to the prince."
"I don't know what happened back then," Fu Ciyi said softly, "but I'm telling you, her friend once said she didn't want to receive customers, and was beaten to death because of that. A woman with such a strong temper wouldn't run off with a random man, especially since she often thinks of your daughter."
Hearing this, Tong Cheng burst into tears and soon fell to his knees.
"What are you doing?" Fu Ciyi went to help him.
"Master Fu, Miss, just tell me directly, is the prince my enemy?"
"Beauty Zhuangzi is the prince's, don't you think?" Fu Ciyi asked back.
"I want to kill him."
Tong Cheng gritted his teeth, picked up a newly made sword and was about to go out.
Yan Funing stopped him at the door: "Manager Tong, think about Xiaoya. You are her only relative now!"
Fu Ciyi also said: "There are many people who want to kill him. If you really want to kill him, you have to wait for the right time."
"The adults will help me, right?" Tong Cheng calmed down and sneered again. "Actually, because Xiaoya's mother is beautiful, she has a lively mind. I know she is unwilling to spend her whole life with me. The main reason I am looking for her is because Xiaoya is growing up and asks me for her mother every day. I really have no choice but to come and look for her."
Isn't it clear to him whether his wife loves him or not?
But as long as that woman has always been thinking about their daughter, for the sake of their former relationship, he will do his best to help her get revenge.
Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing looked at each other.
They didn't expect that Tong Cheng's relationship with his wife was a little complicated.
But I have done what I promised, so it’s okay.
"You're feeling unhappy, how about going for a drink?" Yan Funing raised her hand. "Let's go to Chengwen Building. I'll put it on my account."
