February 11th, the third day of the Chinese New Year.
When Fu Sheng returned home, it was 21:18 imperial time.
When the chief deacon saw him on the first floor, he was not so much surprised as he felt that his eyes were damaged and he was having an illusion.
"Mr. Fu, why did you come back suddenly? Is there something wrong with the Mo family?!" The chief deacon asked worriedly, and subconsciously looked up at the wall clock in the hall, which was engraved with the Fu family's Tengtu.
It had only been two hours since Fu Sheng left home for the banquet.
Excluding the time spent on the road, Fu Sheng just arrived at the Mohist School to report and then turned back.
The chief deacon frowned deeply.
The Mohist School is the second largest royal family in Country Z.
In other words, it is the most noble family besides the Lian family.
In Country Z, you have the right to inherit the throne.
Whenever the Lian family makes a major decision-making mistake in the political arena and is removed from the position of leader, according to the rules, the Mo family will immediately take over the Lian family and take control of Country Z.
The Mohist School is a high branch that many families in the imperial capital cannot reach even if they beg on their knees.
But what exactly is the purpose of my master's actions tonight?!
Is there something more important, or does he simply not take the Mohist School seriously?!
The master is not afraid of offending the Mohist school by being so perfunctory.
The chief deacon couldn't help but feel terrified.
Even if there is something extremely urgent, at this critical juncture, I'm afraid we have to put it aside.
It was common knowledge that supreme power now rested with the Lian family, while the Mohist sect held only a minority of ruling power. Yet, this minority held the Lian family's vitals. While the Lian and Mohist sects appeared to be in harmony on the surface, in reality, tensions raged over the control of Country Z.
And everyone knows that the Lian family and the Pei family have the closest relationship.
The Fu family's ancestral home is in Qicheng.
The focus has always been on Qicheng.
It is almost impossible to take root in the imperial capital and seek support from the Lian family.
The only way out for the Fu family is the Mohist school.
But, what the master is doing tonight means he doesn't intend to stay in the imperial capital?!
Fu Sheng ignored the chief deacon's meaning.
Walking upstairs with long legs.
Seeing this, the chief deacon hurried forward.
When he got closer, the chief deacon could smell the scent of alcohol on Fu Sheng.
The chief deacon frowned. "Mr. Fu, have you been drinking?! Do you need me to ask the kitchen to make some hangover soup?! Your stomach has always been in poor condition."
Fu Sheng raised his beautiful, bony fingers and loosened the navy blue tie that was worn at his throat. He said, "I just heard from the servants: Miss Ji is awake?!"
Upon hearing this, the chief deacon frowned even more tightly.
Being favored by Fu Sheng and taking charge of the position of chief steward of the Fu family, the chief deacon is extremely good at observing people's words and expressions and guessing people's hearts.
So, the reason his master completely ignored the Mo family and hurried back was simply because Ji Yuqi woke up?!
The chief deacon felt a little unhappy.
But he didn't dare to show it.
He reported truthfully, "I did wake up half an hour ago, but I was too weak and still had a fever, so I fell asleep again a short while later."
Fu Sheng suddenly stopped.
He turned around and looked at the chief deacon behind him: "Have you called a doctor?!"
The chief deacon nodded. "Doctor Wang adjusted Miss Ji's medication and increased the dosage. He also told her that if she doesn't wake up tomorrow or the fever keeps coming back, she should go to the hospital for a full checkup."
