Fang Qingshan could understand his father's decision. He was silent for a moment and then said, "I'll go with my parents!"
General Fang immediately refused: "No, as the commander of Suzhou City, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders. How can you abandon the people of the city and go with us for fun?"
Fang Qingshan said anxiously: "But I want to be with my mother. I can't let her have any regrets!"
General Fang sighed, "Now that she sees how successful you are, she no longer has any regrets. She's been trapped in this house for most of her life. It's time to take her out for a walk!"
Fang Qingshan didn't say anything else, but his eyes were slightly red.
In the evening, Lin Yiwan brought the children over and everyone gathered together for a reunion dinner.
Zhan Miao threw himself into Old Madam Fang's arms and said, "Grandma, when you go to the border to play, remember to pick some delicious wild fruits for me. I heard from my brother that they are delicious, even sweeter than those picked in the village!"
Old Madam Fang couldn't help but laugh. "Don't listen to his nonsense. When my grandmother was young, she also lived on the border. There were no sweet wild fruits there. They tasted bitter when they entered my mouth, especially the sour grapes. They were so sour that they could make my teeth fall out!"
Zhan Miao argued in surprise: "But he clearly said it was delicious!"
Madam Fang explained, "That's because the borderlands are bitterly cold. Any wild fruit with even a hint of sweetness tastes incredibly delicious!"
Zhan Miao nodded: "Then I understand. Whether wild fruits are delicious or not is determined by the environment in which they grow, right?"
Old Madam Fang praised with joy, "Our Miao'er is so smart!"
Zhan Miao threw herself into her arms. She knew that this time her grandmother left, she might never come back.
She doesn't want to give it up!
Old Madam Fang was also sad, but she also understood that all good things must come to an end.
She looked at everyone in the room with longing in her eyes and said, "I'm very happy to say goodbye to you like this. This way, only joy and relief remain in my heart!"
Yin Yue stood beside the children, holding their hands, tears almost streaming down her face.
Fang Zhizhu, who had just learned to walk, did not understand what parting meant. She just stretched out her arms towards Old Madam Fang and begged her to hug her.
Madam Fang took her in her arms and kissed her all over the face.
She kept mumbling, "Grandma!"
Old Madam Fang was shocked and said, "Oh my! Our Zhu'er can talk now? She can even call me Grandma! This really makes Grandma happy!"
Yin Zhizhu wrapped her little arms around her neck and refused to let go.
Even though Old Madam Fang had already prepared for departure, she couldn't help shedding tears at this moment.
She can't bear it!
However, in this world, there will always be a farewell!
She shook Yin Zhizhu's small hand, raised her eyes and looked at everyone: "The border is where I long to be. As a female general of the Sheng Dynasty, I should return there. When I leave, don't be sad, because I don't have any regrets in this life!"
"Yes!" Everyone agreed in unison.
The next morning, Madam Fang and General Fang left the capital.
The huge general's mansion was empty, and Yin Yue couldn't stop crying.
Naturally, she could no longer follow Fang Qingshan to Suzhou City. She had to stay in the general's mansion with the children.
Yin Zhizhu is young and doesn't understand the feeling of parting.
She would just follow Zhan Miao and ask for candy, like a little tail.
Lin Yiwan took a handkerchief and wiped Yin Yue's tears. She soothed her softly, "Mom has gone to fulfill her dream. We should be happy for her!"
Yin Yue said hoarsely, "After all, I'm reluctant to leave. I'll never see you again!"
A hint of nostalgia flashed in Lin Yiwan's eyes. Yes, there was no longer a lovely old lady to support her.
The sad mood did not last long, and it was time for the annual winter hunting competition in Shengjing City.
Since Xiao Rui and several boys from the Zhan family were of the same age as the emperor, they were all selected to participate in the competition.
Zhan Xuan was no exception, even though he actually wanted to stay in the mansion to take care of Ye Li.
Lin Yiwan felt a little uneasy as she prepared clothes for the children.
Zhan Yan noticed that she was not in good spirits, so he asked gently, "What's wrong? Don't you want the children to participate in this competition?"
Lin Yiwan nodded. "I don't know why, but my heart is beating so fast it never does before. I'm worried they'll get into danger in the hunting grounds!"
Zhan Yan comforted him: "Don't be afraid, the hunting grounds are guarded by the Royal Guards. Moreover, I have already told Xiao Rui and the others not to run into the dense forest. Children of the Zhan family, don't be picky, so as not to be criticized!"
Lin Yiwan's expression finally softened a lot. She knew that Zhan Yan was very thoughtful.
Everyone took a carriage to the hunting ground outside Beijing, and Zhan Miao and Zhan Qingning stayed around the tent and played obediently.
Xiao Rui claimed to be sick and stayed with them, but was laughed at by others.
At this time, a young man in brocade clothes walked up to Xiao Rui with a look of disdain on his face and said, "Are you a man? Why do you only dare to hide behind a woman?"
Xiao Rui was not angry. He had been reminded by his mother and elder sister long ago that he should learn to be patient in everything and must not let Li Wangfu become the target of public criticism.
He spoke slowly, "What's wrong with hiding behind a woman? Your life was given by a woman. How dare you say you weren't born by your mother?"
"You!" The young man in brocade clothes raised his hand and was about to hit him.
At this time, someone rushed over to stop him: "Chen Sifang, you even dare to provoke the young master of the Li Palace, are you trying to kill yourself?"
Chen Sifang glared and retorted, "I just look down on him. Everyone else went hunting, so why didn't he go? Even the emperor went into the jungle. Is he more delicate than the emperor?"
Xiao Rui's face suddenly changed. He didn't expect that Chen Sifang would compare him with the emperor. This would obviously cause misunderstandings from others.
Sure enough, the young men around him looked at him with a hint of scrutiny.
Chen Sifang raised his chin proudly and asked contemptuously, "Xiao Rui, tell me yourself, do you not take the emperor seriously?"
Xiao Rui refuted without hesitation: "I didn't. My body is not delicate, but I had cut off the emperor's heart before, and I had no strength to hunt. Even the emperor didn't force me to do anything. How dare you speak so arrogantly? Or do you, the Chen family, actually want to issue orders on behalf of the emperor?"
Chen Sifang was so scared that his face turned pale. He thought he was right and could force Xiao Rui to accept the challenge and enter the jungle, but now, he was being ridiculed.
He subconsciously said in panic: "Don't slander the Chen family. How dare our Chen family disrespect the emperor?"
Xiao Rui said calmly, "I don't think you would dare. The Chen family is a newly-minted family in the imperial court. Your father, as the current Minister of Revenue, is a very polite person. How could he raise a son like you who is so arrogant and ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth?"
