Behind him, Fan Xian couldn't help but feel nervous.

What's going on?

This old man has such a good temper.

Fan Xian heard that he was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the current court.

Currently, the Ministry of Revenue does not have a Minister, who is the head of one of the Six Ministries.

However, he was a figure who wielded immense power in the court.

Soon, Fan Xian led Teng Zijing into the inner courtyard, and the gates of the Fan residence were closed.

Fan Jian strolled leisurely ahead, ignoring Fan Xian completely. The father and son entered the main hall one after the other.

Suddenly, a sweet cry rang out:

"Oh, so this must be our eldest son, whom we raised since he was a child in our hometown of Danzhou!"

Fan Xian was startled.

Then he saw a beautiful, elegant middle-aged woman approaching him.

The attire was dazzling with jewels, and it was clear that there was only one person in the Fan residence.

All I saw was...

Fan Xian crossed his arms, bowed deeply, and shouted loudly:

"Fan Xian greets Auntie!"

Ok?

Fan Jian, who had just sat down on the stool, looked up in surprise.

I knew this kid was smooth-talking, but I never expected him to be so smooth-talking.

Yo!

Liu Ruyu was also stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, as this was exactly the scene she had imagined.

It was a world of difference. Although she didn't call her "mother," her aunt was already incredibly grateful.

"Come, come, sit down."

This must be your bodyguard.

You must be tired from your journey, please sit with me.

They probably haven't eaten yet.

As for me, your aunt, I had the servants prepare everything long ago.

Even the side rooms have been tidied up.

After you finish eating, take a hot shower, change your clothes, and get some rest.

Even Fan Xian could tell from that smile that the other person was very happy.

This was quite different from what Fan Xian had imagined; he had initially thought it would trigger a dramatic and messy battle within a wealthy family.

I never expected it to turn out like this.

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Oh." Liu Ruyu was even happier.

"That little mouth is so sweet."

The servants standing on both sides were completely baffled by his appearance. What should they do now?

But Liu Ruyu noticed this and coldly shouted at them:

"Hurry up and bring the food up, and keep the hot water warm."

The servants hurriedly withdrew.

Fan Xian and Teng Zijing took their seats, and soon a table was indeed filled with delicacies from land and sea.

Moreover, it was steaming hot, so it was obviously not freshly made.

This perfectly matched Liu Ruyu's words, and he couldn't help but look at her with newfound respect.

Without any hesitation, Fan Xian and Teng Zijing, who were genuinely hungry, quickly began to eat.

Liu Ruyu, however, sat down next to Fan Jian and glanced at him.

Fan Jian raised his chin in Fan Xian's direction.

Liu Ruyu quickly picked up her chopsticks and served food to Fan Xian.

"Come and eat this. This stuff is very precious; it was transported from the coast."

It needs to be fast, otherwise it will be hard to keep it fresh. Knowing you were coming, I had my servants keep an eye on it for days.

I just bought it.

The rather warm gesture made Fan Xian feel a sense of familiarity with the old lady from Danzhou.

Only then can one truly feel the warmth of family.

His eyes reddened slightly, and he nodded vigorously.

I picked it up and stuffed it into my mouth.

"Mmm, it's delicious, thank you Auntie."

Liu Ruyu was truly overjoyed.

She's not stupid; she can tell whether those words are sincere or not.

In particular, I noticed that Fan Xian's eyes were red, which, combined with his handsome appearance, made him even more striking.

A pang of heartache shot through him, and he sighed:

“I asked the master to bring you back to the mansion a long time ago, but he always said it wasn’t the right time.”

I was so angry with them! I'm so glad they're finally back. They must have suffered a lot in Danzhou.

From now on, this is your home, and you are the mistress of the Fan household. If you need anything, just tell your aunt.

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian secretly gave a thumbs up, lamenting that he had gotten such a good deal from his father, Fan Jian.

How could someone have such good taste, finding such a charming and sophisticated beauty?

"Thank you, Auntie."

After a long while, when Fan Xian and Teng Zijing put down their chopsticks, Liu Ruyu directed the servants to take the food away.

After arranging the rest of the arrangements, he bowed slightly to Fan Jian and left.

Fan Xian looked like he had something to say.

Fan Jian also yawned.

"It's getting late, go wash up and rest. We can talk about it tomorrow, there's plenty of time."

As a result, they waited until Fan Xian and Teng Zijing finished their hot baths, dressed appropriately, and lay down on the bed.

They were all still in shock.

The journey outside the capital was arduous and difficult, but who would have thought that once inside the capital, everything would go so smoothly that it was unbelievable.

I fell asleep while thinking about it.

However, Fan Jian did not appear the next day.

It seems this Vice Minister of Revenue has been very busy lately.

But then they met Fan Ruoruo, and the two were overjoyed.

At the same time, Liu Ruyu seemed to truly regard Fan Xian as the master of the Fan family, rather than his illegitimate son.

He had all the benefits that Versace had.

And so the days passed.

The two seemed to be in a period of adjustment, not paying much attention to each other, and were living a relatively peaceful and comfortable life.

……

Li Chengxian's seclusion at Yuntian Palace also alarmed many people.

During this period, it wasn't just Li Chengze, but also the eldest princess of Northern Qi.

Even Emperor Qing has visited.

Upon entering, everyone was taken aback by the constantly rotating military formation.

Emperor Qing, in particular, immediately noticed the treasure box that had been passed into Chengxian Palace along with the military formation.

Because many of the treasure boxes have patterns on them that are reserved for their own private collections.

Upon learning that Li Chengxian had begun seclusion to prepare medicine, he shouted, "You wicked creature!"

He ran back to check the private vault.

It is said that after Emperor Qing finished his investigation, his face remained gloomy for a long time.

After the eldest princess of Northern Qi visited that day, she immediately found it boring and ran back to Baiyujing.

He grabbed Sili and started telling her all his stories.

At this moment, Si Lili was no longer the clueless Northern Qi spy who had just entered the palace.

Especially after truly understanding Li Chengxian's power recently, they were almost in despair.

With such a domineering presence in Southern Qing, how can Northern Qi remain stable?

In addition, Si Lili had experienced Li Chengxian's formidable strength firsthand.

But she was even more alarmed to find that the other party continued his ascetic practices year after year.

According to the eldest princess of Northern Qi, the only thing to do is to try to delay Li Chengxian's thoughts.

Even Tianxuan, who was guarding the East Gate, became curious during this time.

Why did Your Highness go to the Imperial Study a few days ago?
