"Yes, I'll take my leave." Kong Wenjie couldn't stay any longer, his heart was chilled. It wasn't because of Fang Chengyin's "get out", he was just angry with himself. He knew that Fang Chengyin didn't want to hear this. He also knew that this was not what he wanted to say, but... but he just couldn't say it! He always thought that he was a fearless person. But today, he realized that he really had a weakness, and it was so obvious...
He didn't care about anything now, and didn't want to say anything. He just wanted to go back and take a bath, then lie on the kang quietly.
Really...it's so embarrassing!
"Wait!" Seeing Kong Wenjie turned away with his head down, Fang Chengyin suddenly shouted coldly. She got off the couch, took a small bag from the dormitory, and stuffed it into Kong Wenjie's arms, with her eyebrows raised. "You can get out now!"
Kong Wenjie looked at the bundle in his arms. He was very confused: "Miss. This is..."
"Don't talk to me! Not a single word!" Fang Chengyin glared at Kong Wenjie with gritted teeth, "You definitely don't want to know how much I want to hit someone right now!"
Kong Wenjie: “…”
He silently swallowed the words "Miss, goodbye" and quickly rushed out of the yard with the small bag in his arms.
Ah Tao had just come back from outside when she saw Kong Wenjie running out with a look of despair on his face. She was wondering about this, but when she entered the room, she saw Fang Chengyin lying on the bed with her arms and legs spread out, punching and kicking silently at the air.
Ah Tao: “…”
Did she miss something?
"Miss, what happened to you?" Ah Tao stepped forward cautiously and asked, "I saw Guard Kong was in a hurry just now..."
"Don't mention him to me!" Before Ah Tao could finish, Fang Chengyin roared, "You are not allowed to call him Guard Xiao Kong anymore!"
Ah Tao felt her ears buzzing, and it took her a long time to react: "Then how should I call you Xiao... Oh, no, no, no, Guard Kong?"
"Anyway, you are not allowed to yell!" Fang Chengyin muttered, burying her face in the quilt again, and said in an inaudible voice, "Guard Xiao Kong, only I can yell like that, humph!"
…
Kong Wenjie carried the small bundle and quickly returned to his own courtyard. Then he fell on the kang with a bang. After punching and kicking silently for a while, he was busy opening the small bundle. Then he saw a neatly folded undershirt inside with a feather on it. Kong Wenjie stared at the feather in a daze, and suddenly remembered that day, deep in the dense forest, Fang Chengyin casually inserted a feather in her hair, and then tilted her head and asked him -
"Do I look good?"
At that time, he did not answer, and Fang Chengyin was still unhappy, thinking that he disliked her ugliness. In fact, his heart was in turmoil. He had never seen such a beautiful girl, really never...
Kong Wenjie picked up the feather, looked at it again and again, and felt that it was beautiful no matter how he looked at it. Then he suddenly put it into the middle coat again. The wide men's middle coat exuded a faint orchid fragrance that only women had. Kong Wenjie felt that he was going to suffocate, but he could not help but sniff it again and again.
It smells so good.

July 20, 1933
Prince Rong's Palace.
Zhong Mingzheng has had a gloomy face since he came out of the palace after the morning court session. Ling Shian looked at his expression and didn't dare to say a word. He followed him silently into the study.
"Your Highness, please have a cup of tea first," Ling Shi'an poured a cup of Lotus Heart Tea and placed it in front of Zhong Mingzheng with both hands, saying in a deep voice, "Old Minister Yan of the Ministry of Justice is over seventy years old and his body has long been failing. Hasn't Zou Shijie been in charge of the Ministry of Justice in recent years? Now that Old Minister Yan has resigned and returned to his hometown, it is reasonable for His Majesty to promote Zou Shijie to be the Minister of Justice. This is a foregone conclusion. Why are you angry?"
Old Minister Yan of the Ministry of Justice has not been in good health since more than ten years ago. He tried to hold on for a few years at first, but eventually he could not hold on any longer and had asked Zhong Zhiheng for resignation several times. However, Zhong Zhiheng had always treated this old minister of commoner origin well and tried to keep him, and even exempted him from the daily morning court sessions. Old Minister Yan then held on for a few more years. But now he really could not hold on any longer, and once again begged the Emperor to allow him to resign. Zhong Zhiheng then agreed, and then promoted Zou Shijie, the left vice minister of the Ministry of Justice from the second rank, to the first rank minister of the Ministry of Justice. Zhong Mingzheng's heart sank at that moment.
