By the time Lu Zhenzhi finished processing the memorials submitted by the ministers in his mansion, it was already early afternoon. He suddenly remembered Fu Tong'er and wondered if she had returned home or had eaten lunch. He summoned a servant and asked if she had returned. The servant replied that Miss Fu had not returned.
After hearing this, Lu Zhenzhi said, "The little girl has quite a temper. Let her come back to me." The little servant replied and left. Lu Zhenzhi continued to review the memorials in the study. Remembering that he hadn't eaten lunch yet, he decided to wait for Fu Tong'er to come back and have dinner together. After waiting for a while, the cold wind blew and snow fell from the sky again. Lu Zhenzhi put down the memorials, walked out of the study, and called someone again:
"Has that girl come back yet?"
Chun'er said, "The girl hasn't come back yet."
"What time is it? He hasn't come back yet. The little one is playing around!..."
Chun Er said, "My Lord, it's the evening hour." Remembering that Fu Tong Er hadn't taken a bowl of medicine in the kitchen today, she said, "Master, Miss Fu didn't take any medicine today."
Lu Zhenzhi snorted. How could he control that devilish girl? What if she didn't take the medicine? He had no other options! He couldn't punish her by military law, nor could he use his power as regent to pressure her. The only option he had was in bed. The girl's body resisted and yielded to him, making him unable to stop.
"Take the dinner and medicine to her room." Lu Zhenzhi turned around to turn off the lights, then walked out of the room with a stack of documents, "Send my tableware over as well." He wanted to see when that little thing would know how to return home!
Chun Er received the order and nodded yes. She looked up at the sky and said, "Master, what if Miss Fu doesn't come back for dinner?"
Lu Zhenzhi walked down the stairs, straightened his sleeves, and walked past Chun'er: "She dares!"
Chun'er nodded in agreement and was about to leave when she heard her master say again: "Keep the food hot and serve it to her when she comes back." Lu Zhenzhi was really unsure. After all, the girl didn't listen to his instructions. She really dared to "not come back for dinner."
The wait was long.
Lu Zhenzhi sat on the soft couch at the tea table in Fu Tong'er's room and continued to check the memorials with his red ink. As the sky grew darker, the memorials he had checked piled up into a pile, but the girl had not returned yet.
Little did they know that Fu Tong'er was watching a play in Shenyuan Theater with great pleasure, smiling from ear to ear. General Yi had already prepared food and sent it to the box, and had replaced the tea with goat's milk.
Fu Tong'er said: "This is——?"
General Yi said, "Drinking too much tea can affect your sleep. This is goat's milk. The girl has just recovered from a serious illness. Drinking this will help her sleep better at night and reduce nightmares."
Qiao'er: How does this general know about the young lady's nightmare?
Fu Tong'er smiled and said: "How about we become sworn brothers, and I recognize you as my elder brother?" She has the shadow of her brother General Fu Lei in her bones, generous and straightforward.
You Yi smiled and sat down, saying, "I see you have a long whip on you, can you dance with it?"
"This," Fu Tong'er pulled it out from her waist, "this was given to me by my brother. When I was little, my brother wanted to teach me martial arts, but I was too playful and didn't learn. So my brother gave me a whip for self-defense."
You Yi smiled and nodded, supporting his chin with two fingers, and said, "I do know a few weapons. I've also had some experience with whips. If you would like to worship me as your big brother and if you don't mind, I can teach you how to use a whip."
Qiao'er was about to refuse on Fu Tong'er's behalf when she heard her daughter stand up and imitate Fu Lei, the eldest son of the Fu family, and cup her hands together: "Big Brother."
Seeing her heroic appearance, General Yi could not help but smile faintly: "Then tomorrow, if you are free, I will teach you some simple whip techniques to strengthen your body."
Fu Tong'er said: "Brother, when are you free tomorrow?"
You Yi lowered the arm that was supporting his chin, leaned back, and said, "Before Chenshi, I have to go to the military camp to train the troops. After Sishi, I have time."
Fu Tong'er said: "Then we will meet here tomorrow?"
You Yi smiled slightly and said, "Okay. There will be some open space in the theater by then, so I'll teach you in the backyard. Now—" You Yi, the Great General of the Cavalry, stood up and said, "Sister, it's time to go back. It's already 12 o'clock, so it will be late to get home."
At this moment, a soldier outside knocked: "General You, the hand warmer you requested has arrived."
