Long Chi'an took a step forward to block Fu Ciyi's sight.

Yan Bojian raised his hand and pointed at Fu Ciyi, warning him not to talk nonsense.

"Fu Ning, let's go to another one." Long Chi'an said gently.

Yan Funing nodded and got into the carriage with the help of Caiyu.

The carriage drove away quickly.

Fu Jiang murmured, "Sir, if you and the Second Miss hadn't fallen out, why would we have stood here for so long and still not be able to pick out the cakes that the Second Miss had bought? Even if we picked the right one, if Madam and Miss Nan Yao asked us why we didn't go to see them, how would we lie?"

Fu Ciyi's brows and eyes were cold.

She actually came to the market with Long Chi'an, and she is so fickle?
No wonder he is then!
Fu Jiang continued, "How about you give me a beating and then think of a good way to drive me to the Second Miss's side?"

Fu Ciyi's aura suddenly turned cold, and he glanced at Fu Jiang.

Only then did Fu Jiang shut up.

The carriage that Yan Funing and her companions were riding in drove along another street, bought a few boxes of cakes and a few bags of fruit, and then headed towards the Princess's Mansion.

When they arrived at the Princess's Mansion, Shi Yangyang came out to greet them, followed by several young men and women.

"Fu Ning, you're finally here." Shi Yangyang took a few quick steps and moved her gaze to Yan Bojian, "Why are you here?"

Yan Bojian smiled and said, "Why can't I come? Have I ever asked you this before when you came to my house?"

Shi Yangyang wrinkled her nose, took Yan Funing's arm affectionately, and introduced them one by one: "This is my eldest brother and his wife, and my second brother and his wife."

They nodded and greeted: "Second Miss Yan, Third Master Yan."

"Everyone is well." Yan Funing also nodded politely.

"Fu Ning is here." The eldest princess Long Shuyun also came out to greet her.

Turning his head, he saw his son, daughter-in-law, and daughter standing at the gate with the Yan brothers and sisters. He sighed, "How can you welcome guests like this? Why don't you lead them to the flower hall?"

After saying that, he led the way to the flower hall.

Shi Dong smiled and said, "Mom, we are just about to go to the flower hall."

Shi Liang also said, "That's right, mother."

Hearing that the two young masters of the Shi family also called the eldest princess "mother", Yan Funing pondered, so, before giving birth to Long Chi'an and Shi Yangyang, the eldest princess gave birth to two sons?
Noticing her confusion, Long Chi'an explained, "Big brother and second brother are actually my and Yangyang's cousins. Our uncle and aunt died for their country, and our two brothers were still young at the time."

Shi Dong also explained: "When my mother married into our Shi family, I had just learned to walk and my brother was still a hungry baby. My mother held us brothers in her arms, one on each side, and said that she would be our mother from now on."

Shi Liang added: "It wasn't easy for mom to raise us."

There are not many princesses in a country who can do this, so they brothers are very lucky.

The eldest princess' eyes were filled with tears. She smiled and said, "Why are you saying this?" Then she rolled up her sleeves and said, "You will all have a feast tonight. I will cook for you personally."

Shi Dong quickly grabbed one of her arms and said, "Mom, you should take a rest."

Shi Liang held her other arm and said, "Yes, mother, it's better to let someone else take care of the cooking."

"Why, you two brats dislike the dishes I made for you?"

The eldest princess broke free from them and went to the kitchen.

Seeing the Shi brothers looking at her and her third brother in embarrassment, Yan Funing was unable to react for a moment.

The deep admiration and affection that was clearly there just now had disappeared now.

By dinner time, Yan Funing finally understood why the Shi brothers behaved like this. It was because the dishes cooked by the eldest princess were inedible!
Unfortunately, no one in the Shi family said anything, probably because of her status as the eldest princess, and everyone had to pamper her.

"Fu Ning, don't be so formal, just treat it like you're at home." Long Shuyun put a piece of fish into Yan Fu Ning's bowl, "You can't eat the other dishes, but you can eat the fish. I put too much cooking wine in it."

Yan Funing picked up the fish and smiled, "It's okay to have more, it will remove the fishy smell."

"You're really good at talking." Long Shuyun said with a smile, "The salt and sugar were put in the wrong place at first, but I swapped them back immediately."

Yan Funing's hand holding the chopsticks trembled. Long Chi'an held her chopsticks and ordered the servants: "Bring up the other table of dishes."

Fortunately, he was prepared, otherwise his mother's action would definitely scare Fu Ning away.

It was late at night when the Yan brothers and sisters left the Shi family.

In the car, Yan Funing asked softly, "Has Third Brother ever eaten the dishes cooked by the Princess?"

"No, she only makes it for the people she likes." Yan Bojian laughed heartlessly, "Sister is so lucky."
-
On the other hand, Fu Jiang, who was sent to the Shi family by his own son because he talked too much nonsense, was finally able to return to the Fu Mansion.

When he arrived, Fu Ciyi was sorting out the evidence sent by Leng Feng and Leng Ying.

"Sir, I am incompetent. I only investigated outside the Princess's mansion tonight and was unable to enter. It is probably because Prince Chi noticed something."

"However, at least we knew that Second Miss Yan had left the Princess's residence very late."

"What do you think Miss Yan and Prince Chi will do in the mansion?"

"It took so long, and I've already had two meals."

Hearing this, Fu Ciyi slammed the desk and said, "What she did with Long Chi'an has nothing to do with me. There is no need to investigate her affairs in the future."

The voice was cold and cruel.

"Sir!" Fu Hu walked in quickly. "An official sent two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry. This is a difficult matter. I don't know how to handle it. Please give me some advice, sir!"

Fu Ciyi frowned and stood up: "I'll go take a look."

When the master and his servant arrived at the front yard, the official ordered his men to carry two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry into the Fu Mansion.

"Master Fu, I am on duty in the Imperial Academy, and my results in the exam were not very satisfactory. I hope you can help me make some adjustments!"

After the official said this, he immediately ordered someone to open the wooden box.

With the help of the candlelight in the lantern and the dim moonlight, Fu Ciyi saw that the room was filled with gold ingots, silver bars, and various jewelry necklaces, bracelets, etc.

I couldn't help but narrow my eyes.

How could a small official in the Hanlin Academy or the Zhanshi Mansion come up with such a huge fortune?

Either the person was born into a wealthy family, or there is someone behind the scenes directing him.

Seeing Fu Ciyi staring at the jewels, the official bowed hurriedly and said, "I'll leave the matter to you, Master Fu. I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, he left quickly with his men.

Fu Jiang and Fu Hu stood on Fu Ciyi's left and right sides. Fu Jiang said, "Sir, let me check his identity."

Fu Ciyi said calmly: "His identity must be genuine."

Only by using the real identity can we have a source and a basis for impeachment.

Fu Hu said: "Then let me check his real motives to see if there is anyone else behind this."

"No need." Fu Ciyi was very calm.

After the official left Fu's house, he ordered the driver to make a big circle on the street before going to Cai's house.

The night is deep.

When he arrived at Cai's house, he did not see Cai Tingzhou, but met Cai Tingzhou's close confidants, and reported everything that had just happened to them.

"You should be prepared to testify at any time."

The confidant gave some instructions, dismissed the officials, and went to report to Cai Tingzhou himself.

When Cai Tingzhou heard that Fu Ciyi accepted the bribe, he was overjoyed.

"I can't be the first one to come out and impeach him, as my purpose is too obvious. You pick a few officials and impeach Fu Ciyi tomorrow morning."

The confidant said yes. (End of this chapter)
