"Nothing." Caiyu thought about it and decided to address him, "Sir, the young lady won't let me say more." Fu Ciyi asked: "What are you not saying?" Caiyu said honestly: "I don't know what happened in the palace today. Even if I want to say more, I can't." "The young lady came back from the palace with the Duke and his wife in the afternoon. She locked herself in her room for the whole afternoon. I can tell that the young lady is in a bad mood." "Sir, if you really want to be with my young lady, you should think of a way." "The marriage was granted by the Queen Mother, and Old Madam Yan agreed to it. The man is the prince of the Princess's Mansion..." You should know that there are many princesses in the capital, but only Princess Shuyun is the emperor's biological sister. Prince Chi was also given the surname of the emperor. With such an honor, one's status is naturally noble. If all the ancestors and parents agree to the marriage, what can a young lady, as a junior, do? Caiyu only thought about the following words in her heart.

But Fu Ciyi heard the hidden meaning in her words and said coldly: "Go back to her and take good care of her." "Yes, uncle." Caiyu said goodbye. After Caiyu left, Fu Ciyi shouted outside the study: "Someone come." Rivers, lakes and seas responded by coming in. "Fu Jiang and Fu He, go to the Princess's residence and tell Long Chi'an that I will talk to him. Fu Hu and Fu Hai, check carefully what happened in the Queen Mother's palace this afternoon." The four of them bowed and agreed, then left quickly. When Fu Jiang and Fu He were brought to Long Chi'an by the servants of the Shi family, Long Chi'an seemed to have expected that Fu Ciyi would look for him and immediately agreed to meet him. The address was chosen to be Fufeng Restaurant. Summer nights come later. When the lights came on, Fu Ciyi and Long Chi'an met in a private room of the restaurant. The food and wine were served, but no one touched them. Fu Jiang and Fu He stood behind Fu Ciyi, Ying Wu and Ying Qi were behind Long Chi'an. There were flashes of swords and sabers in the eyes of the four of them, as if they were ready to fight at any time. Fu Ciyi said bluntly: "I think Prince Chi went to the palace early in the morning of the tenth day to ask the Queen Mother for a marriage." Long Chi'an admitted: "Master Fu really deserves to be the new top scholar praised by the emperor's uncle." Fu Ciyi scolded: "Don't you think this is too despicable?" Long Chi'an retorted, "Master Fu is in the officialdom, so he should know the principles of intrigue and deception. This prince likes Fu Ning, so since he likes her, it's not too much to ask for a marriage, right?" Fu Ciyi raised his eyebrows: "On the one hand, he pretended to testify, and on the other hand, he interfered behind the scenes. Is this the attitude of the prince?" "Master Fu, have you ever thought that you are not suitable for Fu Ning at all? Since you got married, what has Master Fu done for Fu Ning?"

"Do you want to ask me what I did?" "I'm telling you, I was the one who found out Fu Ning's background. Just based on this, can you compare with me?" "Fu Ning is by your side, and she has nothing but giving. What have you given her?" Long Chi'an's words made Fu Ciyi silent. It is undeniable that Yan Funing looks delicate and soft, but is actually extremely tough. She handled many things on her own. Not only that, she has great insights and foresight in doing business, and people much older than her are willing to listen to her orders. She is clearly just a sixteen-year-old girl. She can act like a spoiled child in front of her parents, but she can also stand on her own. There are few women like her in the world. No wonder Long Chi'an fell in love with her. And what had he done for her? My mind suddenly went blank. He left silently without touching a drop of the wine on the table. Fu Jiang and Fu He hurried to follow. In the private room, Ying Qi lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, is Master Fu retreating in the face of difficulties?" Long Chi'an narrowed his eyes slightly: "I hope so." - It was late at night, and the world was still. The moon was bright in the sky, but it seemed lonely. Fu Hu and Fu Hai returned to Fu Ciyi to report. "Sir, after checking, the Yan and Shi families are old friends." "The ancestor of the Shi family had the same disease as Prince Chi, but he was completely cured after marrying the daughter of the Yan family." "Now, as long as the young lady is by Prince Chi's side, Prince Chi's symptoms can be alleviated just like his ancestors." "Plus, the Yan and Shi families already have an engagement, and the Empress Dowager's palace is mainly saying today that they are destined to be together." Hearing this, Fu Ciyi put down the dowry list for Fu Nanyao which had not yet been sorted out. "Destined?" He suddenly smiled. I am indeed the redundant one. Suddenly I remembered that when I was a child, I was also the redundant one. Kill him to make room for the crown prince's position for that man's most beloved son. His gaze turned to Fu Jiang who was standing beside him: "Tomorrow, you can help me give her a message, saying that I congratulate her and Long Chi'an on their engagement, and hope that they can get married soon." Fu Jiang was surprised: "Young Master?" Fu Ciyi raised his hand, indicating that they didn't need to talk any more nonsense.

The woman was the most troublesome. She didn't want to be by his side in the first place, so why should he force her? For the sake of such a woman, he would not delay his revenge. What is important now is to obtain a strong position of power. - The next morning. Fu Ciyi showed Fu Nanyao the dowry list that he had prepared overnight. "You took the original dowry list to the Dong family. I wrote this one temporarily. Based on my memory at that time, I wonder if there are any omissions?" Fu Nanyao glanced up and down, then looked at it carefully. "Brother, most of them are here." She got married in a hurry and prepared her dowry in a hurry. Since I have difficulty walking, my dowry was basically prepared by my brother and Bei Mo. "Well, I will go to the Dong family to retrieve it according to this document. It would be even better if I can find the original copy at the Dong family." "Thank you for your hard work, brother." Fu Nanyao glanced at the door. "Is my sister-in-law busy these days? Recently, she always came to see me every one or two days." "She is indeed busy. She bought the entire East Third Street and has many shops to manage. She probably won't have time to come here in the future." Considering that his mother was with Nan Yao and that Nan Yao's broken leg had been reconnected, he had no choice but to say this. Fu Beimo on the side said: "Then I'll go to East Third Street to look for my sister-in-law, maybe I can help." Fu Ciyi called him: "Come with me to Dong's house today." Fu Beimo slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, Yuan Lian must divorce and get her dowry back." The two brothers left Fu Nanyao's room. As they walked along, Fu Ciyi said calmly, "Nan Yao is recovering from her injuries now. After the divorce, Dong Kuang will definitely cause trouble. You and Ali will stay at home and avoid going to East Third Street." "I understand, brother." Fu Beimo agreed and called Meng Li and Li Xinheng to set off together. On this side, Fu Ciyi was busy with the divorce of Fu Nanyao and Dong Kuang. On the other side, Fu Jiang arrived at the Duke's Mansion. In the past few days, Fu Jiang went in and out of the Duke's Mansion at any time. When he came today, the doorman did not stop him, so he came to Yan Funing without any hindrance. Seeing him coming, Yan Funing ordered Caiyu to take the maids and servants in the courtyard away. Fu Jiang then said, "Miss, the young master asked me to bring a message to you. He said congratulations on your engagement with Prince Chi, and he hopes you will get married soon." After hearing Fu Jiang's retelling, Yan Funing inexplicably felt that Fengpi's words contained a threat. No matter what, she had to make sure he wouldn't tell anyone about the Yan family's troops, so she asked, "Is he at home? I want to meet your young master." (End of this chapter)
