Golden Terrace

Turning around, he discovered Yi Siming standing with his arms crossed, staring at him thoughtfully, and speaking with a sarcastic tone: “Tsk tsk tsk, you’ve just met and you’re already reluctant to part? Look at how eager you are, wishing you could tie him to your waist and follow along. How pathetic.”

Fu Shen retorted: “He at least rescued me from the mountain ravine. What did you do? While you were leisurely drinking tea, I could have been dead. And you dare to ‘tsk’? Shameless.”

Yi Siming: “…Impressive. Not bad for someone rescued at the risk of life, to the point where I can’t even criticize you. Alright, let’s go. The physician has been waiting inside to examine your wounds.”

After this incident, everyone lost interest in hunting. They stayed one night at the mountain villa and agreed to return to the capital. The woman and infant were taken away and arranged by Yi Siming. Fu Shen stayed two more days, waiting for his back wound to scab over before riding his horse down the mountain.

Before leaving, he deliberately circled back to the wild orchid slope, hesitating for a long time before finally not having the heart to pick a flower. He sighed into the wind and rode away.

The next day, he returned to the Ying Guo Mansion and was thoroughly scolded by Fu Ting Xin.

Fu Shen, being young, didn’t take his back injury seriously and lay in bed for two days before rising, once again full of energy.

However, the situation in the capital was not good. The scope of the treason case was expanding, not only investigating Han Yuan Tong’s faction but also implicating the An Wang faction and even Jin Yun Feng’s disciples and associates. The Emperor seemed determined to make an example of Jin Yun Feng to warn An Wang. Fu Ting Xin and others’ memorials disappeared without a trace, and the court was tense with everyone on edge.

Although Fu Shen had not entered the court, he could gather some information from Fu Ting Xin, which left him both worried and anxious. He was concerned about not yet telling his second uncle about rescuing Jin family members, fearing his unilateral actions would trouble Fu Ting Xin. He was also worried that as long as the case remained unresolved, they would not be free.
