The prince stood not far away, his eyes mad with jealousy.

The people he sent out not only failed to kill Mo Qitian, but also killed several of his confidants.

He will definitely avenge this!

Mo Qitian let go of the woman in his arms and looked at her panting with a smile in his eyes.

"Wanwan has good skills."

Fang Shiwan's face was as red as an apple, and she leaned on him shyly.

Three days later.

Minister Fang came out of the prison with a haggard look on his face.

He looked up at the snow-covered ground and dragged his heavy body towards the mansion.

"Minister Fang, you can go now."

"The Emperor believes me?"

"You have a good daughter. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculated that your daughter is the reincarnation of a phoenix girl. You are not destined to die!"

Thinking of what the jailer said to him this morning, he still couldn't believe that his Rou'er was actually Fengnu.

He became more and more excited as he walked, so he quickened his pace back home.

He must treat Aunt Lin well and include her in the family tree when he returns.

Suddenly, a low sound of funeral music broke the tranquility of the street. He looked up and saw a cold funeral procession slowly approaching. If it were not for a few people holding white elegiac couplets fluttering in the wind, it would not have been possible to tell that it was a funeral.

He stopped and followed the team as it moved forward, feeling an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

In that instant, his eyes fixed on a familiar woman, Aunt Lin?

Aunt Lin's figure stood out in the funeral procession. Her face was pale and haggard, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was obviously exhausted from crying.

She held a white handkerchief tightly in her hand, as if she wanted to use it to wipe away all her sorrow.

He walked over quickly, stopped in front of the team, and asked in shock: "You...what are you doing?"

Aunt Lin never expected that Minister Fang would come out at this time.

She spoke with a trembling voice: "Master...Master..."

When Aunt Liu saw Minister Fang coming, she hurried to the front and lowered her voice so that only the three of them could hear: "Master, you may not know yet, Aunt Lin, she killed the old lady."

"Today is the third day, and we thought you would never come back... We are currently attending the funeral of the old lady.

Upon hearing what Aunt Liu said, Minister Fang's face turned pale instantly, and he stared at Aunt Lin closely.

"You... killed my mother?" Minister Fang's voice trembled.

Aunt Lin's face turned pale, and she shook her head hurriedly: "No, no, Master, it's... it's the eldest lady."

Aunt Liu didn't seem to be going to let her go. She continued in a low voice, "Master, it's true. Aunt Hua and I saw it with our own eyes."

Minister Fang could no longer remain calm. He glared at Aunt Lin angrily, and his voice became stern: "Aunt Lin, do you know what a crime this is!"

His voice was so shocking that it instantly stopped the entire team.

The elder of the side branch who was in the lead was Shangshu Fang's distant uncle. He stepped forward, his voice filled with sadness and reproach: "Zhengxiang, let your mother rest in peace. If you have anything to say, go back home and talk about it. Isn't it a joke to have so many people coming and going on this street?"

Only then did Minister Fang realize that the people had gathered here without him noticing.

Remembering that he had just gotten out of the prison with great difficulty, he couldn't cause any more trouble.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and flicked his sleeves, "After returning home, I will personally investigate this matter thoroughly. You'd better tell me the whole story."

Aunt Lin shuddered and said, "Yes, Master."

Minister Fang ignored them and followed the team forward with grief.

It was a deserted procession. If it weren't for the coffin behind them, no one would have believed that this was a funeral procession.

The people attending the funeral didn't even wear mourning clothes.

"Tsk tsk, how unfilial! He doesn't even have a decent shroud to wear. This old lady is really pitiful. She raised a son in vain."

"Yeah, yeah, what an ungrateful bastard! The paint on this coffin looks peeling, and it smells musty."

The people continued to talk, but Minister Fang turned a deaf ear to them.

The Shangshu Mansion had long been impoverished, and this coffin was placed there by Fang Shiwan.

Dangdang, it's really a changing world, and now it's the old lady's turn.

Fang Shiwan was sitting in a restaurant, drinking tea with Mo Qitian. When he saw the familiar coffin, he almost burst out laughing.

The coffin used was the one that his granddaughter had used, and it was still unknown how many times it had been used. If the old lady knew about this in her grave, I wonder if she would have flipped over the coffin lid.

"Wanwan, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculated that Minister Fang's daughter was the reincarnation of the Phoenix Girl. In addition, he was not the mastermind behind this incident. The evidence at that time only pointed out that he was bewitched by Duke Anguo and did not know what the letter was. Therefore, my father let him go."

"Having a Phoenix Girl means a country is strong. Legend has it that the Phoenix Girl possesses extraordinary wisdom, beauty, and strength. Her appearance often heralds the rise of a dynasty, and can even unify the world."

Fang Shiwan sneered, "His daughter? Fang Zhirou or Fang Zhiya?"

The ancient people were really superstitious, always talking about phoenix girls and descendants of the dragon.

"Mo Qitian, do you believe it?"

Mo Qitian shook his head, "I don't believe it. How could a person like Minister Fang give birth to a child who is a Phoenix girl? But my father has great faith in the Imperial Observatory, and there is no turning back on this matter."

"Duke Anguo was the mastermind of this incident, and the Grand Marshal was also closely related to it. However, the Grand Marshal had already thought of an excuse and insisted that he knew nothing about it. In addition, the Queen knew my father very well, so my father felt pity for him and only fined the Grand Marshal one year's salary. Therefore, Duke Anguo was stripped of his title, his title of Duke, and sentenced to behead him in public! As for the Minister of Works, my father stripped him of his official position and exiled him to Lingnan."

"What about those people in the Duke's Mansion?"

"With the lesson of the Lu family, Duke Anguo took all the responsibility and insisted that they had no idea."

"It seems that Duke Anguo is very smart." Fang Shiwan stared at the team that was gradually moving away.

"Well, Duke Anguo is very ambitious and has long wanted to be the father-in-law of the emperor."

"He has swallowed up all the silver that was used to wrongly accuse the Lu family. The Grand Commandant took advantage of the time when the Duke of Anguo was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison to send the silver to the Duke of Anguo's mansion. He has cleared himself of all the blame."

"Wan'er, the most important thing now is to clear the Lu family's grievances and let the Lu family return from Lingnan."

"As for the rest, we'll take our time."

He looked at Fang Shiwan, feeling very guilty. He could not use force, so the Lu family returned with dignity.

This was not his formal style, but he knew that the Lu family had to go through this before they could return to live their lives openly.

"What should I do, Mo Qitian? I find that I can't live without you any more." Fang Shiwan's sudden confession made Mo Qitian feel warm in his heart.

"Then always be by my side."

Thinking of her identity as a time traveler, she murmured to herself, "Is it possible? Can I really stay here forever? What about Grandpa..."

"Wan'er, what did you say, grandpa?"
