"What the Right Prime Minister said is very true. My father is still recuperating, so naturally there should be no bloodshed in the palace. You must not reduce my father's fortune, so you all should leave," Zhong Mingzheng's blood-red eyes gradually regained clarity, and he waved his hand to let the guards leave. But he pointed his finger at Fang Kaiwen, who was pale. "He can't do it. Hasn't Fang Zhonglian always been praised by my father as a model of strict self-discipline? Now, Fang Zhonglian has committed a crime of disrespect. Although he has been brought to justice, according to the law, the entire Fang family is implicated and must be thrown into prison. If I don't handle it impartially, wouldn't it be a hindrance to the reputation that the Left Prime Minister has worked so hard to accumulate throughout his life? Come on! Put Fang Kaiwen in jail! And don't let any of the Fang family, young or old, go!"
"Yes, I obey your command!" As soon as Zhong Mingzheng finished speaking, two guards dragged Fang Kaiwen away.
Fu Jiayou heard the sound of someone being dragged on the ground. His eyes widened in shock. He stared at the dark floor tiles in front of him, and then his hands in his sleeves gradually clenched into fists.

June 30, 1934
Yongzhou.
Prince Hui's Mansion.
The journey of the Prince of Hui. This morning, he finally arrived at his fiefdom, Yongzhou. When he arrived at the palace, Zhong Minge couldn't get off the carriage. He was too tired, and he had caught a cold a while ago. He had been recovering for more than half a month, and he was fully recovered two days ago. He had been sick and listless all the time. It was only because Liao Chongwu had taken good care of him along the way that he didn't get seriously ill. Even so, Zhong Minge still lost a lot of weight, and Liao Chongwu was heartbroken.
"Come on, we're home." The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Prince Hui's Mansion. Liao Chongwu jumped off the carriage first, then helped Zhong Ming'e out of the carriage. He turned around again, bowed slightly, and said to Zhong Ming'e, "Get in."
"Yeah." Zhong Ming'e looked at the man's broad and strong back, his face full of satisfaction. He didn't carry the guards on his back, but lay on Liao Chongwu's back, letting the man carry him as they strode towards the palace in front of them. This was not the first time that Liao Chongwu carried Zhong Ming'e on his back. Along the way, Zhong Ming'e was carried off the carriage like this almost every time by Liao Chongwu. The guards went from being stunned at the beginning to being used to it now.
Zhong Minge leaned close to Liao Chongwu's ear and whispered, "Liao Chongwu, what did you say just now?"
"What did you say?" Liao Chongwu didn't understand what was going on. He stepped over the threshold, walked around the huge screen wall, and then stood in front of the screen wall with a huge "Fu" character written on it. He was not in a hurry to leave, but looked up at the house in front of him, from the high wall made of blue bricks, to the flower stand covered with wisteria in front of him, to the stone table and stone bench under the flower stand, as well as the lotus pond and rockery on the side. He just looked at them intently. This was where he and Zhong Minge would live in the future, this was the place that would make their dreams come true. Every tree and grass, every brick and tile here made Liao Chongwu love them from the bottom of his heart. There really would never be a better place than here. He let out a sigh of satisfaction.
"You just said that we are home," Zhong Minge felt very comfortable from head to toe after hearing that sigh. In his heart, it was as if a big stone that had been hanging in the air had finally fallen to the ground, filling the void in his heart. He put his arms around the man's neck and gently rubbed the back of his head, "Liao Chongwu, we have a home now."
"Well, we have a home now," Liao Chongwu repeated, rubbing his hard stubble against Zhong Minge's face. Before Zhong Minge could dodge with a smile, he whispered to her, "Minge, this is the best dream I've ever had in my life."
