The lanterns on the corridor were swayed by the night wind, causing the figures in the corridor to sway as well.

Xu Miaoyin looked at the swinging lanterns and chatted with Fang Shuhuai about their daily routine, "Daddy seems to be really tired. Husband, we should share more for him in the future."

"good"

"There hasn't been any happy event in the family for a long time. It's time to arrange the wedding between Yuchun and Fushou."

"Well, it's all up to you."

"She has followed me since she was a child, so I will definitely prepare more dowry for her."

"Okay, no problem."

"Daddy seems different today than before."

"..."

"Why don't you answer?" she asked angrily.

I don't know how he managed to listen to her words despite his absent-mindedness.

Fang Shuhuai raised the corners of his lips unnaturally and smiled guiltily.

Seeing that his expression was the same as his father's expression just now, I didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

Angry at his absent-mindedness, laughing at him for pretending to be innocent and trying to get away with it.

"Did you really not notice that Daddy is different from usual? His tone seemed to have some youthful... heroic spirit."

Under the night, Fang Shuhuai's eyes darkened and he said nonchalantly: "You are overthinking. In my opinion, my father is still young. It is natural for some young men to be heroic. Could it be that in Miaomiao's eyes, my father is already an old man?"

It’s great.”

Xu Miaoyin had to admire Fang Shuhuai's eloquence and reasoning. She was actually convinced.

He sighed: "Husband, now that I have been convinced by your fallacy."

Fang Shuhuai said proudly: "No matter how you say it, I am from a scholarly background, and I am still lacking in literature and knowledge."

Xu Miaoyin smiled, held his arm and continued walking.

Fang Shuhuai slowly put away the smile on his face, and his cold expression became even darker under the flickering lights.

late at night

Fang Shuhuai opened his eyes and looked at Xu Miaoyin, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. He got off the bed lightly, put on a shirt and went out of the inner room.

Seeing that Qin Zhan was already waiting outside, he gently closed the door, motioned for Qin Zhan to follow him, and left Lanyin Courtyard.

The two of them came to the study, and after a while, Qiao Zhi also came.

Qiao Zhi put away his usual playful smile, looked solemn, and knelt down in front of Fang Shuhuai, "I know my mistake, please punish me, Master."

Fang Shuhuai glanced at him, with no discernible emotion or anger on his face, and said indifferently, "Do you know where you went wrong?"

Qiao Zhi lowered his head and started to sweat, "First mistake, I shouldn't have gotten carried away in front of my wife and exposed my true identity. Second mistake, I didn't obey the order and almost ruined the master's important event."

Fang Shuhuai walked to the window and said coldly: "Humph, you are good! If Xu Rennian is not still useful now, you will keep this punishment after the incident is completed. As for the border guards, if there are any people you sent in,

If something goes wrong and we can't get the key evidence, then I will have no choice but to let Yuqiu go."

Hearing this, Qiao Zhi panicked and looked up in the direction of Fang Shuhuai, only to see him standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his expression unclear.

He lowered his eyes dejectedly. He had followed his master since he was a child, so he knew his master's character.

This time it was his carelessness and his fault. How could he let his sister make up for it?

"I will definitely not have a next time. If I do it again, I will die to apologize!" With some determination as if he was ready to die, Qiao Zhi stood up, turned around and strode out of the study.

During this process, Qin Zhan did not say a word. He stood respectfully with his head bowed from beginning to end, waiting for Fang Shuhuai's instructions.

After a while, Fang Shuhuai walked back to the desk and sat down, his tone a little casual.

"What's the problem with that boy?"

Qin Zhan raised his eyes and glanced at him, then lowered his head and respectfully replied: "That young man is the first prince."
