Fang Zilan turned around and walked behind the crowd, just in time to see Fang Lihui repeatedly playing with the folding fan in his hand. His fingers were stroking the pendant of the fan, and the color of the jadeite became more and more dazzling under his caressing.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to your cousin?" Her voice was very soft, as light as a ball of cotton wool falling on Fang Lihui's heart.
He let go of the fan pendant and let it form a beautiful arc with the folding fan. He raised his head with a cynical look and said, "There is nothing to say goodbye to."
"Really?" Fang Zilan shook her head with a half-smile, "Fang Liren and Warners, where are they going?"
"Yancheng." Fang Lihui spoke concisely and to the point. Fang Zilan tilted her head thoughtfully, "The border between Dajing and Miluo? That kind of small southern town has a lot of rainy days."
She left these words and left without looking back, leaving only Fang Lihui standing there.
After a while, Fang Lihui ran out as if he remembered something, and saw Fang Lihui and Warners at the door of the embassy who had packed up and were about to leave.
He was running very fast and his breath was uneven, and his speech was a little choppy, "Cousin! You..."
When Fang Liren saw him, he walked up to him patiently, patted his back, and motioned for him to catch his breath before speaking.
"Are you...really going to Yancheng?" Fang Lihui looked anxious, and Fang Liren smiled lightly, "Yes, it is only fair that Warners left Persia and I left Dajing, both of them were far away from their homeland."
"Cousin!" Fang Lihui raised his voice. He never understood why his cousin was so obsessed with the word fairness.
Fang Liren looked at Fang Lihui good-naturedly. He held the folding fan tightly in his hands and held back a sentence for a long time, "It's rainy in Yancheng."
"I know." Fang Liren smiled fondly, "Is Lihui worried that my old injury will relapse?"
"No." Fang Lihui turned his head away, looking like an angry child, "Can you and Miss Sashan get used to living in a remote town like Yancheng?"
"Li Hui." Fang Liren called Fang Lihui's name in a low voice, but he tilted his head even more, "It's a long journey, so please take care of yourself, cousin and Miss Sasan."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Fang Liren's voice sounded behind him, "Lihui, I said it doesn't matter to me. From now on, you will be alone in the Fang family. No one will protect you. You must be more careful. Don't do this." Fight as hard as you want."
Fang Lihui stopped, and there was a hint of trembling in his tone, "Why do people who are leaving talk such nonsense?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a chuckle, and when he looked up, he saw Fang Zilan leaning against the railing, with an indescribably playful look on his face.
Before Fang Lihui could get angry, Fang Zilan walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said to Fang Liren: "What do you mean no one is protecting you? Mr. Fang must have forgotten that all my money was invested in the Fang family. All my money was invested in the Fang family. I’m not allowed to take care of your property, okay?”
Hearing this, Fang Lihui visibly froze on the spot. Fang Liren clasped his fists and saluted, with a look of gratitude in his eyes, "So, thank you, Mr. Fang."
Fang Zilan smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome. I wish Mr. Fang and Miss Sashan a smooth trip, and hope they will be safe, happy, and healthy in the future."
The carriage gradually moved away and slowly drove out of people's sight, leaving only a field of smoke and dust.
Fang Lihui gently tapped Fang Zilan's hand on his shoulder with a folding fan, and said helplessly: "Everyone is gone, can Mr. Fang let go?"
Fang Zilan retracted her hands and stood up straight. When Fang Lihui saw that she was no longer on alert, he spoke again: "Master Fang, are you so afraid of me causing trouble?"
She didn't answer, and Fang Lihui continued speaking on his own, "I won't stop you. What you can't keep will eventually be lost. No matter what you do, it will be in vain."
Fang Zilan watched him swing the folding fan again, regaining his carefree and dandy appearance, and left her sight.
As soon as Fang Lihui left, Dugu Xin walked up behind her and said, "Master Fang, His Majesty's handwritten letter has arrived."
"So fast?" Fang Zilan turned around and looked at Dugu Xin, "But what about my northern border?"
"That's right." Dugu Xin nodded and said, "His Majesty ordered Huang Fuchen to be dismissed from his post and investigated, and Wang Qibin was appointed as the Deputy Protector of the North. Qi Yuming was fined one year for ineffectiveness."
"Wang Qibin, the son of Master Wang Quanzhi?" Fang Zilan muttered secretly, but Duguxin heard him, "Exactly. But Qi Yuming was also punished, doesn't Master Fang care?"
"Even General Dugu knows that Qi Yuming is the person I escorted, so how could he not care?" Fang Zilan shook her head, looking helpless, "If Qi Yuming is not punished, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Huangfu family to explain."
"Did Mr. Fang submit a request?" Dugu Xin looked surprised. He did not expect that Fang Zilan was so well versed in trade-offs.
However, Fang Zilan smiled and said, "Who knows. Maybe His Majesty knows that my temper can easily offend others, so he helped me out of selfishness."
"Your Majesty?" A look of suspicion appeared on Dugu Xin's face, but Fang Zilan still just smiled, "After all, I am the one your Majesty sent to the north. Your Majesty will never leave me alone, right?"
Knowing that she didn't want to talk in depth, Dugu Xin didn't say anything more, just said a few polite words and left.
Fang Zilan stood on the porch for a while, and then she saw Awan who came to look for her. Awan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was okay, "I said Mr. Fang, if you are leaving, can you say hello in advance? Don't hurt me." A good meal.”
"Isn't it that I can't handle that kind of situation? It's best to leave it to A Yu, and I'll come out and take a breath." Fang Zilan said it lightly, but A Wan was furious, "Yes, what are you really doing? It all makes sense.”
Fang Zilan smiled and took Awan's hand, "Okay, Awan, don't be angry, I will take you to eat delicious food."
Awan frowned slightly, "Aren't you going to say hello to Mr. Zhuge and the others? What about the head of the Sasan family?"
"Ayu is there to prop up the scene, and I'm just going to cause trouble." Fang Zilan waved her hand innocently, "What's more, the head of the Sasan family is sad. What kind of trouble will I get into at this time? It's better to hide as far away as possible."
Awan allowed Fang Zilan to lead her away from the Persian embassy. As she walked, she muttered to herself, "Isn't Warners the only daughter of the Sasanian family? She just left like this, leaving the Sassanid family to be an old man. What should I do? How pitiful." ah."
"Not only children can't be kept, but anyone can't be kept." Fang Zilan sighed quietly, and Awan tugged her hand, "I just said casually, why are you feeling so emotional?"
"I'm just talking casually." Fang Zilan raised the corner of her mouth, but Awan only felt that it was forced, so she simply kept silent.
It took a while before she heard Fang Zilan's voice again, "Awan, aren't you curious about where we are going?"
"It's fine to go anywhere." Awan blurted out, shaking Fang Zilan's arm involuntarily, "I will stay by your side, at least until you are well."
Fang Zilan looked at the girl's childish face, showing indescribable determination. She pursed her lips and smiled peacefully, "That's enough."
