In the novel "Joy of Life," the protagonist wakes up at Li Chengze's residence.

Tao Jingyang was left alone in the room. She sat at the table for a long time, then suddenly got up and walked towards the lamp in the room.

"Click..." Tao Jingyang extinguished the lamp wick. She lay on the couch, contemplating what might happen next.

Since Teng Zijing is not dead, Fan Xian at this time is not as angry and helpless as in the original story.

Moreover, now, under Tao Jingyang's deliberate arrangement, "passersby" are deliberately passing by the military commander's house.

Fortunately, the entire family of the military commander who lost their weapons were not completely silenced this time. The perpetrators were caught, and the clues were used to find the person behind the crime sooner.

And now it seems that Li Chengze has changed a lot... Perhaps, he won't be like before, where one wrong step leads to complete failure and a total loss.

It's just a pity that some people still died in vain...

The room was dark.

The next day.

Everyone in the capital knew that Lord Fan had made a big show of proposing to Lin Wan'er.

In the eyes of the Chaoyang District residents of Beijing, the marriage between Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er was now a done deal. Public opinion is a powerful force; if the Lin family wanted to annul the engagement, they would have to come up with a better plan.

This suited Fan Xian's wishes perfectly.

Li Chengze said sarcastically to Xie Bi'an in a lazy voice, "This Fan Xian really does things in a grand and ostentatious way."

Xie Bi'an sat around Li Chengze, seemingly sharing the same hatred as His Highness, and replied, "Yes, indeed."

From the very beginning, Xie Bi'an looked down on Fan Xian.

There was one thing Li Chengze didn't tell Tao Jingyang. Personally, Li Chengze didn't support Wan'er's marriage to Fan Xian.

Ever since he learned that Fan Xian was a prince, he felt that Fan Xian's identity was too complicated.

Furthermore, so many things have happened since Fan Xian first arrived in Kyoto.

Li Chengze felt from the bottom of his heart that if Wan'er lived with Fan Xian in the future, she would be overwhelmed with troubles every day.

Moreover, and most importantly now, it is Wan'er's mother, the Eldest Princess, who most wants to kill him.

How can one have both family ties and romantic love?

[If I have the chance, I need to have a good talk with Wan'er.] Li Chengze thought to himself.

Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it and go see what Tao Jingyang is doing inside.

But then, as if remembering something, she looked around the room and realized that she hadn't seen Fan Wujiu since she woke up.

Puzzled, he asked Xie Bi'an, who was sitting to the side leaning on his sword, "Where is Fan Wujiu? Why haven't we seen him yet?"

“Fan Wujiu…he…” Xie Bi’an stammered, a rare occurrence for him.

"Speak." Li Chengze leaned against the chaise lounge, toying with a jade pendant in his hand.

The jade pendant danced back and forth in his hand as he looked at Xie Bi'an with a slightly suspicious gaze.

Xie Bi'an carefully chose his words: "Fan Wujiu is currently in the back, teaching Miss Tao's maid, You Ran, martial arts."

He lowered his head after he finished speaking. He also found it absurd, but it was indeed the truth.

Li Chengze suddenly threw the jade pendant in his hand toward Xie Bi'an with a "whoosh".

The latter didn't even get up; he simply caught it while still sitting.

"Then what kind of kung fu does You Ran learn?" After a pause, she asked in an incredulous tone, "Did they go off to flirt?!"

"It shouldn't be..." Xie Bi'an hesitated, but then said, "It's Miss Tao. She wrote a martial arts training book for You Ran, and You Ran is practicing according to it."

Fan Wujiu...it seems he was just there to join in the fun.

Li Chengze pursed his lips, glanced down, and stood up, saying, "Let's go, I'll join in the fun too."

Meanwhile, Fan Xian and Wang Qinian were already gathering evidence of Lin Gong's assassination attempt, preparing to punish Lin Gong according to the laws of Nanqing.

However, Lin Gong left Kyoto a little earlier this time. Perhaps it was because the entire family of the military commander had not been killed, leaving some survivors, and Si Lili had also been captured and brought back.

It's just that Lin Gong left early this time. If he had left later, he would have "caught up" with Wu Zhu's return, which would have been a disaster.
