Fang Jun held Feng Xiaoyue's shoulders and said loudly, "Xiaoyue, good news, I have good news."
Upon hearing good news, Chen Xiaobei, Cui Hongyu, Lardor, Yang Zhi, and others present also perked up, turning their attention towards them.
Feng Xiaoyue also wiped away her tears, "Brother Fang Jun, what's the good news?"
"Xiaoyue, be happy, be happy. It's found. This morning, His Majesty issued an imperial decree assigning this matter to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince has already ordered people to search for Lord Feng at the border. I believe your father will be reinstated in a few days."
"Good!" Someone started it, and the rest echoed.
Feng Xiaoyue, however, displayed a rare composure. She looked at those present and bowed slightly.
"Brother Fang Jun, let's talk outside!" After speaking, he bowed again to Chen Xiaobei and Cui Hongyu, then turned and led Fang Jun outside.
Feng Xiaoyue's action earned the praise of everyone, and Chen Xiaobei silently sighed in admiration.
Feng Xiaoyue's father was vindicated. This was joyous news, and discussing it in front of Huang Ying's spirit tablet was clearly inappropriate. Therefore, Feng Xiaoyue was very sensible. By taking Fang Jun outside to talk, she also showed respect for Huang Ying.
Feng Xiaoyue and Fang Jun walked all the way out of the inn before stopping. Fang Jun, unable to contain his joy, reached out, grabbed Feng Xiaoyue's shoulders, and shook her vigorously, "Xiaoyue, we finally waited. We waited."
Feng Xiaoyue wiped away the tear streaks from her eyes, a look of joy appearing on her face, "Heaven has blessed us. My father has finally waited."
Fang Jun looked at Feng Xiaoyue with anticipation, "Xiaoyue, do you remember our agreement? Do you remember your promise?"
Feng Xiaoyue nodded with tears in her eyes, "I remember. I said that when my father's injustice was cleared, I would get married! When my father returns, I will report it to my father."
Fang Jun excitedly picked up Feng Xiaoyue and spun her around a few times, "Great, great, we've finally waited!"
"Brother Fang Jun, hurry and put me down, so many people are watching behind us!"
Only then did Fang Jun reluctantly release her, "What's wrong with me hugging my own wife?"
Feng Xiaoyue glanced at him, "Brother Xiaobei is in grief. It's not appropriate for us to be too boisterous. Since you're here, go in and offer a stick of incense to Miss Huang Ying to express our sentiments!"
Fang Jun nodded and followed Feng Xiaoyue inside.
When they returned, they saw Chen Xiaobei and Cui Hongyu standing side by side.
Fang Jun stepped forward and greeted them one by one.
Chen Xiaobei nodded and looked at Feng Xiaoyue beside him, "Miss Xiaoyue, this is a major event, a joyous occasion. You shouldn't stay here."
Feng Xiaoyue shook her head, "I'll stay here with you and Sister Hongyu."
Cui Hongyu also stepped forward, reaching out to hold Feng Xiaoyue's arm, "Little Sister Xiaoyue, you should go back first."
"If you need any help, I'll send someone to find you."
The others also persuaded her.
After a long while, Feng Xiaoyue finally relented. She took two steps back and bowed to everyone present, "Since that's the case, Xiaoyue will take her leave. Everyone, take care."
Feng Xiaoyue and Fang Jun left the inn, turning left and right along the street, and finally arrived in front of a dilapidated mansion.
This was Feng Xiaoyue's former home, and it was now utterly ruined.
The seals on the door were long gone, leaving only a rusty iron lock swaying gently in the breeze.
The two stood side by side, gazing for a long time. Feng Xiaoyue let out a long sigh.
"I will be back soon."
Just then, a sound of orderly footsteps could be heard, and then hundreds of soldiers marched towards them. Fang Jun was startled and quickly pulled Feng Xiaoyue to hide to the side.
However, they heard someone shouting from a distance, "Fang Jun, Xiaoyue, what are you two doing here?"
Hearing the shouts, the two stopped and turned to look. It turned out to be Zhou Quan.
Feng Xiaoyue and Fang Jun stepped forward to salute Zhou Quan.
"Greetings, Guard Zhou."
Zhou Quan waved his hand and then pointed to the mansion.
"Xiaoyue, the Crown Prince originally said he would have me clean this place up and then bring you over, but I didn't expect you to come first."
Hearing this, Feng Xiaoyue and Fang Jun exchanged glances, their eyes filled with joy.
The fact that they were coming to clean up the mansion was a good omen.
Feng Xiaoyue took a step back and bowed respectfully to Zhou Quan, "Thank you, Guard Zhou. As long as the Crown Prince approves, I can clean it myself."
Zhou Quan laughed heartily, "How can that be? This is rough work, not for you." With that, he waved his hand behind him.
Several soldiers stepped forward and smashed the iron lock on the mansion gate.
Zhou Quan gestured and led Feng Xiaoyue and Fang Jun into the former Feng residence.
Feng Xiaoyue stood on the steps, looking at the dilapidated courtyard. Tears flowed down her cheeks again. The place she had dreamed of was finally back.
At this moment, Zhou Quan waved his hand, and five hundred soldiers immediately dispersed to help with the cleanup. The vast mansion suddenly became bustling with activity.
Fang Jun looked at the scene and said emotionally, "Xiaoyue, let's go to my place and celebrate properly."
Feng Xiaoyue, however, gently shook her head, "Let's stay at my place. We'll go buy groceries."
Seeing the two turn and leave, a smile appeared on Zhou Quan's lips. The former golden couple, so many had hoped they would end up together. After years of twists and turns, it had finally come true.
Just then, another sound of horseshoes echoed, and several fast horses galloped into Wannian City. Shen Ziyan had arrived.
Shen Ziyan had received a carrier pigeon from Yang Chun. After reading the letter, she immediately found the Old Ancestor, paused her teaching, and, taking Xiaohua and Du Juan with her, rushed to Wannian City overnight.
The three of them were martial artists and had sturdy bodies. They managed to cover the distance in two days and two nights.
Upon entering the inn, she spotted Huang Ying's memorial tablet. Shen Ziyan cried out, "Waa!" Su Dan Novel Network.
On the way, she had hoped for a miracle, but when she saw the truth, the pain in Shen Ziyan's heart was unimaginable.
As Shen Ziyan cried, everyone present joined in a chorus of wailing.
When the crying subsided, Cui Hongyu stepped forward to support Shen Ziyan's shoulders, "Ziyan, get up."
The Lotus Cult Master also stepped forward and took Shen Ziyan's other arm.
"Alright Ziyan, get up and speak."
After much persuasion, Shen Ziyan finally stopped crying.
The Lotus Cult Master patted Shen Ziyan's shoulder, "I have already sent word to my master. I believe he will arrive soon."
Just then, there was a commotion at the entrance, followed by a loud shout, "Imperial decree! Chen Xiaobei, listen to the summons!"
Chen Xiaobei's heart skipped a beat. What was bound to come had finally come, but at such an inconvenient time.
