Tang Dynasty: The pot is tied to the duck nest, the little rhinoceros is here!

He then stood up and bid farewell to Fang Xuanling: "Uncle Fang,"

Since there's nothing more for me to do here, I'll take my leave now. You all should get some rest!

Upon hearing that Jiang Fan was leaving, Fang Xuanling immediately became agitated and grabbed Jiang Fan's hand:

"It's so late, and there's already curfew on the streets. Where are you going?"

"I'm going back. It's precisely because it's late that I need to go back. I can't possibly stay up all night with Sizi, can I?"

Little Sizi nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, I want to sleep with Guoguo. I have to protect Guoguo and make sure he doesn't wet the bed..."

Hmm... that sounds familiar. I think I stayed overnight at Cheng Yaojin's house last time.

Little Sizi said the same thing, it seems she intends to take the blame for bedwetting forever.

"puff--"

Fang Yi'ai, who was standing nearby, burst out laughing when he heard this.

Fang Xuanling turned around and glared angrily: "Laugh, laugh, laugh! What are you laughing at? I'll knock your teeth out if you laugh again!"

Fang Yi'ai: "..." What did I do to deserve this? Is it a crime to just smile? That's too much for me.

Fang Furong glared angrily at Fang Yi'ai: "Believe it or not, I'll sew your mouth shut!"

Fang Yi'ai: "..."

Fang Xuanling almost burst out laughing, but he managed to hold it in.

After all, he had honed his skills in the imperial court for so many years, and he had long since learned to keep his emotions hidden. He certainly had that ability.

He said to Jiang Fan, "Young master, do you think the accommodations in my residence are too poor?"

Although my residence is not comparable to the imperial palace, it still has more than thirty guest rooms of various sizes.

Young master and princess, please feel free to stay. Otherwise...

People might really think I, Fang Xuanling, am incompetent. I'll order someone to clean the guest room right now.

"Young master, please feel free to stay. If you have any other requests, please let me know, and I will fulfill them all."

Fang Xuanling went to great lengths to keep Jiang Fan, repeatedly pleading with him to stay, something that would have been unthinkable in the past.

Fang Xuanling continued, "It is not that I intentionally forced the young master to stay."

The main reason was that the Tang Dynasty had explicit regulations prohibiting anyone from walking on the streets after curfew, and anyone who violated this rule would be severely punished.

Therefore, having the young master stay overnight at our residence was a last resort.

Young man, please don't overthink it. I really didn't mean anything by it. I didn't mean to match you with my daughter...

Jiang Fan: "..." If you hadn't said anything, I might have believed you, but now? I don't believe a single punctuation mark of what you say.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xuanling kicked Fang Yi'ai: "What are you still standing there for?"

"Why aren't you taking the young master and princess to the guest rooms to rest? What are you doing just standing there like an idiot?"

Fang Yi'ai: "..." This is too difficult for me.

After Fang Yi'ai left with Jiang Fan and Xiao Sizi,

Fang Xuanling's expression immediately turned serious. Looking at his daughter, he solemnly asked, "Where is the person who injured you?"

"He was taken away by the constables and should be in jail now, but they said he's from the Cui family of Qinghe. I'm afraid he'll be released tomorrow!"

"The Cui family of Qinghe? Hmph—do they really think no one in Chang'an dares to touch them?"

I'd like to see how the Cui family of Qinghe will give me a satisfactory explanation.

Otherwise, I wouldn't mind making the Cui family of Qinghe pay a heavy price!

When Fang Xuanling said these words, he was practically gritting his teeth, which showed how angry he was.

The Cui family of Qinghe is one of the five prominent families and seven prestigious clans. Doesn't my family count as one?

Although not as renowned as the Cui family, he still represented the Qinghe Fang family.

Furthermore, you, Cui, are acting as the spokesperson for the Fang family. How can you, a member of the Cui family, humiliate my beloved daughter like this?

Just you wait, tomorrow you'll pay an unbearable price.

……

After Fang Yi'ai led Jiang Fan and Xiao Sizi to the guest room, it had already been cleaned and tidied up, with brand new bedding on the bed.

Moreover, they were all made of silk, a material that ordinary people couldn't afford to use for bedding.

Similar to Cheng Yaojin's house, in the middle of the room, there was a bronze incense burner, from which the incense emitted a faint fragrance that refreshed the mind and lungs.

After bringing the person over, Fang Yi'ai smiled at Jiang Fan and said, "Young master, are you satisfied with this guest room?"

"Very good, very good, it's just that I've caused your family trouble!"

"It's no trouble at all. It's our honor that the young master and princess can stay at our home as guests."

"There's no trouble at all. If there's nothing else, then I won't disturb your rest any longer, young master. I'll take my leave now!"

As he spoke, Fang Yi'ai left the guest room, giving Jiang Fan some personal space.

Silent all night.

The next day, when Fang Xuanling saw Jiang Fan carrying the little princess, he quickly got up to greet him:

"Young master, you stayed at my house last night. The conditions were rather simple, and you must have suffered!"

"No, no, Mr. Fang, you're too kind. I'm very comfortable here!"

"Young master, please have a seat. Yi'ai, quickly, let the cook serve the food!"

"Okay, Grandpa, I'm going right now!"

Fang Yi'ai turned around and ran straight to the kitchen.

Fang Furong then stood up and was about to bow to Jiang Fan.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan quickly stopped her: "Don't move."

Your wound hasn't healed yet, so you shouldn't move around too much, as this will slow down the healing process.

Hearing this, Fang Furong felt a warmth in her heart. Was the young man concerned about her?

Yes, it means caring about oneself more than one's own grandparents.

At that moment, a little deer appeared in Fang Furong's heart, pounding wildly and making her mind a mess.

Although we've only just met, beauties have always loved heroes, especially the one who saved her life. I heard he also saved Empress Zhangsun and the Emperor Emeritus...

Just then, Fang Yi'ai returned, followed by the cook carrying the prepared breakfast.

Millet porridge, stewed mutton, and flatbread.

Little Sizi perked up instantly at the sight of the stewed mutton: "Wow, again!"

Seeing this, Fang Xuanling smiled slightly: "If Your Highness likes it, that's good. Come, let me personally serve it to you..."

Fang Xuanling was about to serve Xiao Sizi a bowl of mutton when Xiao Sizi did it himself.

He picked up the spoon from the mutton bowl and started scooping it into his own bowl.

Jiang Fan was already used to the gluttonous Si's behavior.

A pot of mutton with broth was served, and Xiao Sizi ate a quarter of it all. He even thanked Fang Xuanling at the end.

"Thank you, Uncle Fang. I can do it myself. There's no need for you to trouble yourself..."

After saying that, he began to eat meat and drink porridge in large mouthfuls.

Jiang Fan wanted to remind Xiao Sizi to watch her eating manners and be more elegant.

But Xiao Sizi didn't care at all; nothing could affect Qi Youyou.

After finishing his meal, Xiao Sizi wiped his mouth and said, "Uncle Fang's yogurt... isn't as good as Uncle Cheng's yogurt..."
