After everyone had been staked and taken away, Fu Ziyan walked to Liu Wei, lowered his head, bowed, and said: "Please be lenient."

Liu Wei: "Today is Old Master Fu's birthday, so I naturally have to give you face."

Fu Ziyan didn't say anything more, glanced at Rong Ling again, bowed to him, and then left.

He had not seen the woman think for him.

It was a habit to cause trouble.

Liu Wei turned her head and asked Fu Zichen, "I'm afraid that it will be hard to explain when we go back today. What do you plan to do?"

"Who said I was going back?"

Fu Zichen was silent for a long while, before replying with a casual tone of voice. She then looked towards the unconscious Liu Mo in the tent and said in a slightly exhausted and helpless tone, "Let's talk after he wakes up."

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait."

Losing too much blood, being malnourished, causing his heart to be injured, he would need at least three to five days to recover. This was still considered light, and if it was even worse, she wouldn't be able to cure him.

Thinking up to here, Liu Wei started to get angry again.

So what if he promised to clear Liu Mo of his "murder crime" within twenty hours?

Liu Mo had never killed anyone before, so the only crime that he didn't need to be charged with was that he could be washed away. At most, it would be more troublesome and due to the Fu's Family's obstruction, he would just waste more time.

Liu Wei was greedy for this advantage, so he let Fu's Family take the initiative to loosen her tone. At the same time, in return, she gave a small punishment to the group of people involved in the hunt today, so they would not get back on the line.

But now she regretted it. What was a little punishment?

As long as they were not killed, they had to be taught a lesson. Otherwise, they would truly believe that the yamen's gate was opened by their family, and that the imperial court law was set by their family!

… ….

Over at the banquet area, it was already past the time for the banquet to commence. However, the juniors had already disappeared without a trace, and even their personal attendants had vanished without a trace.

One or two were missing, but they could still be concealed. A group of more than a dozen people had all disappeared, and there was always someone asking for the reason.

Seeing that chaos was about to break out, it was Fu Ziyan who stepped in and stabilized the situation.

When the Old Master of Fu's Family heard his eldest son's report, his expression did not look very good. He did not know that something like this would happen today, so he frowned: "All of you, are getting more and more outrageous!"

Fu Ziyan said in a low voice, "No matter what, Grandfather's birthday feast should be easy to manage. As for Grandfather's side, they shouldn't be alarmed."

Master Fu nodded and heavily patted his son's shoulder. "You are fully responsible for this matter. Remember, everyone must come back safe and sound, including your seventh brother."

Fu Ziyan nodded. He could guarantee it.

Master Fu did not leave the hall for long as well. After speaking briefly with his son, he went back to deal with a few precious guests.

Fu Ziyan pondered for a moment, but did not return to the banquet hall. Instead, he turned around and walked towards the study room.

After taking a few steps, he saw someone chasing after him.

Seeing who it was, he stopped and waited.

When Second Master Fu rushed over, he was still gasping for breath. He had clearly just heard of today's matter and had an ugly expression on his face. He immediately asked: "Tell Second Uncle honestly, is today's matter really due to Fang Chen?"

Fu Ziyan's eyelids flickered as he said, "According to nephew's knowledge, Zichen does have an old relationship with that Liu Sizhao from the capital."

Second Master Fu's eyes turned dark and the aura around his body turned heavy.

Fu Ziyan then continued, "Second Uncle need not worry about Zi Han's matters. My nephew has already told them that Zi Han's life can be preserved."

Second Master Fu nodded absent-mindedly. He raised his head and asked: "Is Zi Chen still not back yet?"

Fu Ziyan shook his head: "I'm afraid that he won't return, second uncle knows that he has always had an idea, and has been out for many years, so he doesn't have much relationship with this family. After such an incident this time, he probably won't be back for a while, if second uncle wants to look, perhaps he can go to the inn and find someone."

Looking at Second Uncle's staggering back, Fu Ziyan was silent for a moment before he asked: "Second Uncle, are you not worried about Zi Han?"

Second Master Fu stopped, turned his head, and said: "Didn't you say that Zi Han would be fine?"

"Nephew naturally won't let anything happen to Seventh Brother. However, Seventh Brother's heart must be filled with hope for Second Uncle right now. In the end, he's still only a teenager. Even in prison, he's afraid of doing something as big as making a mistake."

However, Second Master Fu said: "It's good if he gets taught a lesson."

Fu Ziyan didn't say anything else. This Second Uncle of his was clearly more concerned about Fu Zichen than Fu Zihan. No matter how much he said, it wouldn't change anything.

Ever since Fu Zichen had gone to Jiangnan, Second Uncle had visited the capital several times and mentioned Fu Zichen. The meaning in her words was to beg the emperor if he could transfer the person back, to be unable to return to the Azure Province, and to the capital as well. It would be closer to him anyway.

However, the human heart is already cold, will anyone appreciate your compensation?

Fu Ziyan sneered, turned around and continued to walk towards the study. He would settle today's matters perfectly, and nothing would happen to anyone in Fu's Family, even the disciples involved in this incident would be safe.

As the next Patriarch of the Fu's Family, this was something he had to do … It was his duty.

Old Man Fu sat in the living room. Although it was his birthday banquet today, he was already old, and was more like a mascot than those sociable people. He was accompanied by a few of his good friends, talking about some of the things that happened when he was young.

This night looked very perfect. Although there were fewer people, it didn't affect the overall situation at all.

In the end, when it wasn't time yet, the old man couldn't take it anymore and returned to the courtyard after dinner. Before he left, he left a few friends who had come to attend the feast outside the city to stay for a few more days to have a good chat.

The lordmaster had left, but the banquet had yet to disperse. It was only when the night was halfway through that they started to see the guests off.

By the end of the decade, the front hall was completely silent.

Looking at his two tired younger brothers, Master Fu waved his hands and pressed between his brows. "Go back and rest. If there's anything you need, we can talk about it tomorrow."

As everyone dispersed, the large Fu Mansion slowly quieted down. The crescent moon at the horizon reflected a virtual light, enveloping the entire night in a hazy shade.

Tonight, there were some who were already reeking of alcohol and sleeping soundly, while there were some who planned to fight at night.

On the way back, he happened to pass by the study by chance. Seeing that the study was still brightly lit, he walked over and wanted to knock on the door, but in the end, he didn't knock. He only looked through the window for a moment and saw that his eldest son, who he was most proud of, was in the study.

It seemed that even if it was dinner, it would be useless. He had been busy up till now.

Master Fu did not say anything. His heart was filled with pride, but it also hurt a little.

They all said that Fu Ziyan was experienced, accurate, promising, strict, and reserved, but how many people knew that there were some people who weren't as gifted or as capable as they thought they were.

People only look at the results and ignore the process, but it is the process that is the most fundamental to changing a person.

Fu Ziyan was born to be the number one person among the Fu's Family's three generations. He had duties that he could not escape, he was not Fu Zigui, he was not Fu Zihan, he could not be mediocre, he could not act recklessly, he had to be the most perfect person, the Fu's Family needed him to be perfect like this.

And what did he need to exchange for this perfection?

Freedom, nature.

A lot of things.

Tonight's moonlight was actually not too good, but this cold and thin shadow of the moon was able to shine into the hearts of many people.

… ….

Early morning on the second day, Liu Wei was woken up by Rong Ling.

She buried her face in the soft quilt and didn't want to come out.

Rong Ling supported her from behind as she coaxed his softly, "It's already time, use your breakfast to sleep again."

As his stomach became more and more obvious, Liu Wei's lethargy also became more and more severe.

In the past, there were many servants serving him in the capital, so Rong Ling was not too worried. But this time, when she went out, there was no one by his side.

Liu Wei was unhappy, as she buried her face deeper into the blanket.

Helpless, Rong Ling grabbed her lower jaw and pulled her out. She carefully hugged her and said: "Are you even inferior to Xiaoli?"

When Xiaoli was in her residence, no matter how lazy sshe was, he would always get up and use her breakfast. Of course, Little Fu would never let Xiaoli fall asleep easily.

With the little modesty on their backs, Liu Wei and Rong Ling were able to save a lot of trouble.

Seemingly dissatisfied with being compared to a child, Liu Wei finally frowned and opened his eyes. She focused his eyes for a good while, then stared at the man in front of him.

Rong Ling saw that she had woken up, so she let her put on his clothes while she got off the bed to get her a robe.

Who knew that the moment she turned around, she let out a "wu" sound and looked back. The woman, wearing only white undergarments, had already fallen back into the blanket and covered herself again.

Rong Ling took his clothes, so he didn't expect her to get up himself. She helped her get dressed instead.

Liu Wei had been messed up by him, sometimes lifting her arms and sometimes raising her legs. However, she did not open her eyes, as long as he did not open her eyes, the other party would do whatever they want, she had no objections.

Seeing that the clothes were not easily worn anymore, Rong Ling was somewhat helpless. Just as she was thinking about whether he should bring the breakfast over and let her use it on the bed, she heard a knock on the door.

"Who?" Rong Ling asked.

The person outside the door was silent for a moment before speaking, "It's already been a quarter of an hour."

Rong Ling frowned. She was not too happy when she heard Fu Zichen's voice.
