Chapter 111: Home is Where the Heart is at Peace

Because of the fatigue from the long journey home, Old Lady Fang did not hold a grand banquet, she didn't even ask Miss Jun to stay for dinner.

"Have a simple bite and then rest." Old Lady Fang said.

"Grandmother, aren't we going to catch up with everyone?" Fang Yuxiu said with a smile, "Cousin has done so much, everyone must be curious to know."

Old Lady Fang hummed.

"What's there to know, what doesn't everyone already know? Whatever she's done, she's done it." She said, "What she did was right, what she did should be done."

No matter what, whatever she's done is correct, is should be done, no need to ask, guess, or blame.

Such words were protective and indignant beyond reason.

Everyone in the room laughed, and Miss Jun also smiled.

"Alright, go rest now." Lady Fang said with a smile, "Now that you're home, we can talk more later."

She glanced at the maidservant.

"Miss Jun's room..."

She didn't finish her sentence when Fang Chengyu took over.

"Everything has been sorted out." he said, "The food is also prepared."

Lady Fang looked at him, smiled, and nodded.

"Then you should go." She said.

"Grandmother, mother, sister, you should all rest soon too." Fang Chengyu said with a smile, "Traveling is tiring, and waiting is too."

Old Lady Fang also smiled and waved them away.

Miss Jun gave her thanks again and left with Fang Chengyu.

"You all should disperse as well." Lady Fang told the people in the room.

Fang Yunxiao and Fang Yuxiu bid farewell.

The once lively room quieted down in an instant, leaving only Old Lady Fang and her daughter-in-law.

"It's good to be back safely." Lady Fang said as she supported Old Lady Fang to sit down, "When the family is together, there's nothing to fear even if there are issues."

Old Lady Fang hummed, clearly also sighing in relief.

She had been holding in her breath for quite some time, from the moment she heard that Miss Jun was returning to Yangcheng, from when Fang Chengyu left the house to greet her.

Concubine Yuan hurriedly entered from outside.

"Why are you here? Although she doesn't like being attended to, you could at least wait until she finishes her meal." Lady Fang said with a frown.

Concubine Yuan had a strange expression, hesitating.

"Madam, Miss Jun has gone to rest at the young master's." She said, "It seems that the young master has also prepared a room for Miss Jun there."

What do you mean it seems? It definitely is, this kid! When he was tidying up the courtyard, he didn't say a word, and now he stealthily prepared a room as well.

Lady Fang clenched her hand.

"That's not appropriate." She said, "She's betrothed to the Ning Family."

Old Lady Fang hummed.

"That's just a farce." She said, "There's nothing inappropriate."

But Young Lady Fang's identification was also a farce, and now she's going to sleep with the Young Master; isn't that even worse?

"What's inappropriate, Chengyu's feelings are real." Old Lady Fang said.

Chengyu's feelings are more than real; he's completely reckless.

Lady Fang sighed thinking about her son's actions, unsure what to feel - both angry and anxious.

Angry at her son's foolish adoration for a woman, and anxious about that adoration being in vain.

"This matter must be resolved." She said.

Old Lady Fang and Concubine Yuan looked puzzled.

"What matter?" Old Lady Fang asked.

Lady Fang unclenched her hand.

"Who she will marry." She said with a determined expression.

Miss Jun was unaware that Lady Fang had started to consider her marital arrangements again. For her, the most pressing matter was whether to finish with one bowl of rice or eat half a bowl more.

"I think I can eat." Fang Chengyu said seriously, "I asked the cook, eating more at once won't make you fat."

Miss Jun laughed heartily.

"It's not a matter of getting fat or not." She said, "It's about reason and greed; I'm already full, yet I still want to overindulge and eat half a bowl more, afraid it'll affect my sleep."

"That is indeed a problem." Fang Chengyu also frowned seriously again, then clapped his hands decisively, "Well, let's do this."

As he spoke, he reached out and filled Miss Jun's rice bowl halfway, then divided it in half.

"This should be a bit better than having eaten everything."

Miss Jun laughed again, without hesitation she picked up her rice bowl and started eating.

Liu'er, standing to the side, also breathed a sigh of relief, very satisfied with this resolution to the matter.

Had there been anyone else present, they'd probably have been bored to stupidity, yet only these three could take such a dull matter so seriously.

After finishing the meal, Miss Jun covered her mouth and yawned.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep," Fang Chengyu immediately urged.

"Is my miss going to sleep here?" Liu'er looked at the arhat bed behind the partition, speaking discontentedly.

This was previously Miss Jun's study, even though it was luxuriously and comfortably furnished, it was much more cramped compared to the living quarters Lady Fang had prepared earlier.

Bringing her here on his own initiative might not be so appropriate.

After all, they were no longer husband and wife, nor was he a patient in need of care.

Fang Chengyu lowered his head and pinched his fingers.

"...One should sleep in the proper room," Liu'er's voice continued.

As these words entered his ears, Fang Chengyu's eyes brightened and he lifted his head.

"That's right, that's right," he nodded eagerly, "Everything is ready, all is new, go, go."

That's more like it, Liu'er hummed with satisfaction, then turned to smile as sweet as flowers at Miss Jun.

"Miss, you should go rest," she said.

Miss Jun smiled without a word and proceeded as told.

"Miss, even though you're not the Young Lady now, your status here is even higher than that of the Young Lady," Liu'er whispered, "Just don't get too comfortable, we can sleep wherever we want."

Miss Jun laughed heartily.

"How could I not be comfortable? It's my own home," she said.

Listening to the master and servant as they left, Fang Chengyu couldn't hide the joy brimming from his face, but even that joy couldn't express all the happiness in his heart, so he simply dove onto the arhat bed and rolled around several times.

He rolled around until his hair and clothes became a chaotic mess, as if only by doing so, could he smooth out the happiness within his heart.

As the morning light penetrated the thin mist and fell upon the Fang Family residence, the training ground was already bustling with activity.

Accompanied by a buzzing sound, feathered arrows wavering on the targets, resembling blossoming flowers.

A soft sound of clapping followed.

Fang Chengyu rolled up his sleeves, revealing his sturdy arms, and even though he had already loosened his bow, he still couldn't bear to put it down, turning his head with beads of sweat flickering on his nose.

"Was it okay?" he asked eagerly.

Miss Jun smiled and nodded, her hand continuing to clap sharply.

"It was more than okay," she said, "It was impressive."

Fang Chengyu's smile lit up like the morning rays.

"Yes, yes, I also think I am very impressive," he said.

Miss Jun reached for his bow and arrow, stroked it and became lost in thought for a moment.

It was very impressive, even more so than she was.

She hadn't even had a chance to learn archery before her old master was gone.

Her master's skills in archery must have been extraordinary because a special Arrow Formation was drawn in his handwritten notes.

Thinking of this, her brows slightly furrowed.

Just who was her master? From what she had seen so far, there hadn't been the slightest mention.

"If you're bored at home, how about we go hunting?" Fang Chengyu's voice arose next to her ear, breaking Miss Jun's reverie. She lifted her head to see the young man's concerned and unsettled gaze.

"How could I be bored at my own home," she said with a laugh, twirling the bow in her hand, "Don't treat me as a guest."

Fang Chengyu chuckled.

He knew she was the best. Her words, her actions, her mood, everything about her was excellent.

His spirits were also incomparably high, but this good mood was soon shattered by a shout.

"Lingzhi! You little wretch, how come you're not dead yet?"

Liu'er's shrill voice came from the side.

Fang Chengyu felt a sudden jolt in his heart, and Miss Jun had already turned towards the sound.

Liu'er was dragging someone out from behind the flower wall, a slim and pretty girl, who, being grabbed by the hair by Liu'er, didn't know whether to cry from the pain or the fright, and started sobbing. Seeing Miss Jun look over, she knelt down with a thud.

"Young Lady, spare my life," she bowed deeply and wept while kowtowing.
