Wang Yun: "Then what about the situation at the Imperial Court?! Do we just stand and let them fight each other until it grows uncontrollable?! We should be the ones helping the Emperor in calming down these 2 factions and secretly eliminating the Eunuchs! As they were the reason that all this chaos happening in the first place!"
Wang Yun has grown impatient with the passive movement Lie Fan has had this past year, he wants Lie Fan to use the power and influence he has to support the Emperor in this time of crisis. Lie Fan on the other hand is not stupid as he knows that if he announces support for the Emperor both factions will target him.
Lu Zhi: "Master Wang Yun please calm down, I'm sure that Little Lie has plans that he has considered doing."
Lie Fan: "Yes what Uncle Lu saying is true, I have made some plans that we will do to face the increasingly worse situation in Luoyang."
Jia Xu: "Let me explain the first part of the plan that My Lord has made as a contingency. We will let General He Jin Faction and The Eunuch Faction fight, but we will help both factions silently in the shadow to balance the court while raising the Emperor's prestige to suppress both sides."
Zhu Jun: "Helping both sides is easy, but how do we raise the Emperor's prestige that is already *ahem* in shambles?"
Lie Fan: "Your Majesty wanted to live carefree and free of trouble from the court, the only way for him to have that life is by controlling the court and he must need some help to do that."
Everyone inside the study is quiet, thinking about what kind of help the Emperor needs for him to do that as the situation is getting out of hand and most of the Court's influential people are already either supporting the faction of their choices or staying neutral.
Xun You can be counted as one of the smartest people in the room alongside Jia Xu began to think outside of the box and suddenly something clicked in his head, It is outrageous and maybe Lie Fan either be targeted by both sides or he will be curried favor.
Xun You: "Does Governor Lie think of helping The Emperor by becoming some sort of a special enforcer for Your Majesty?"
Lie Fan: "Bingo! That's true Master Xun You, While there's a chance I will be targeted by both sides but considering that I'm neutral and have the influence and military power I think they will not antagonize me and force me to either side."
Wang Yun: "That's a very suicidal plan, Why don't we just declare our stances and join General He Jin's sides in eliminating the Eunuchs"
Zhu Jun: "While it's true General He Jin is trying to eliminate the Eunuch it's not because he cares for others but for his and his cronies' agenda that they had."
Huangfu Song: "Yes even though me, Old Zhu, Old Lu, and Master Wang Yun are in General He Jin's faction but we are not in the inner circle and can't do anything that influences the movement that the faction will do."
Both Xun You and Wang Yun wanted to oppose this statement but both of them were smart people and knew that what Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song saying was true, There is a rumor that General He Jin doing this to help his sister Empress He having her son put as the Crown Prince
Lie Fan: "Okay I know everyone now is either infuriated or disappointed with how the situation is right now, I think it's better that we end this here today and maybe meet up the day after tomorrow at the Serenity Inn."
Everyone there agrees with Lie Fan's opinion and agrees to meet the day after tomorrow at Serenity Inn a new restaurant that was booming with customers in the past year not knowing that it was part of the Lie Clan enterprise
Lie Fan offered for them to eat dinner today with him and his family but everyone denied the offer as they didn't want to interrupt the time Lie Fan spent with his family as they knew that Lie Fan hadn't met them for a year
Lie Fan accompanies them and walks outside toward the entrance gate, Lie Fan feels happy that he has some allies that he can trust here in Luoyang. Playing schemes with the old foxes at the Imperial Court is not that easy and thanks to him having Jia Xu and Sun Qian at his side at least he can counter their each move
Lie Fan watches Xun You leaving with Wang Yun, he can see from Xun You's facial features that he is tired of what's happening right now proving that the seeds Jia Xu planting are blossoming now into a tree with roots that grasp his consciousness.
After all the guests left, Lie Fan walked back towards the main hall where Jia Xu, Sun Qian, and Xu Kai were waiting for him.
Lie Fan: "It's been a long time since the four of us were together, I will spend time with my family today so the three of you can enjoy your free time."
Jia Xu: "Thank You My Lord you can rest easy and spend your time with your family, We will prepare contingency plans for our next steps if we ever encounter unexpected problems."
Sun Qian and Xu Kai groan at the same time, both of them can be considered to be young and spirited wanting to spend their free time doing other things. Lie Fa seeing this chuckled while Jia Xu glared at the both of them wanting to discipline both of them.
Lie Fan left the three of them and walked outside of the main hall, he asked a playing maid where are his mother and Ying Yue which the maid replied that the both of they were in the Embroidery room.
Lie Fan thanked her and walked towards the embroidery room where he met Wannian playing with Snow who had now already grown so big ahead of him. Wannian who was playing with Snow saw that Snow was running in another direction making her turn her head and see Lie Fan walking towards her surprising her.
Wannian: "Big Brother!!! You're back!!!"
Wannian who saw Lie Fan began to run toward him happily and Lie Fan who saw that stop walking told her to not run too fast afraid that she would fall down.
Wannian and Snow together pounced toward Lie Fan hugging him, Lie Fan crouched down to receive the hug that was given by the both of them.
Yu Yan and Ying Yue who were doing embroidery heard the commotion outside the room hearing the laugh of Lie Fan and Wannian, Both of them turned their head facing each other and showing a smile knowing that Lie Fan had done his meeting. The two of them put down the needle and string standing up from their stool proceeded to walk outside to meet Lie Fan.
Outside, Lie Fan and Wannian are teasing Snow together when they see Yu Yan and Yue Ying walking together toward them. Lie Fan who saw his mother and Ying Yue stop teasing Snow with Wannian, stopped hugging Wannian and stood up walking toward them.
Yu Yan was the first one to hug Lie Fan, she had missed her son who always worried her since 3 years ago when Lie Fan decided to lead soldiers in exterminating bandits.
Yu Yan: "You little bastard finally decided to come back, don't you know how worried me and Yung Yue are?!"
Lie Fan: "Alright Alright, it's my fault that I have been not filial to you this past year. Now that I'm back I will spend more time with you m- Ahh Mother why do you hit me!"
Yu Yan: "You and your sweet mouth, don't think that I don't know that you have become more busy now that you are back in the Capital."
Lie Fan just laughs upon hearing that, he feels sorry that he spends less time with his family and especially Ying Yue. But if he doesn't do what he does know his family can only be at the whims of the old foxes.
Lie Fan released his hug and turned toward Ying Yue who was watching from the side with eyes that showed so much affection and love while looking at him, Lie Fan walked toward her and took both of her hands holding it tightly.
Lie Fan: "Yue'er I'm back, I'm sorry that I was gone for so long and made you worried about me, I'm sorry that I can't keep my promise to marry you as many things are happening right now that distracted me ."
Ying Yue who was listening to Lie Fan began to shed some tears, for her Lie Fan coming back was already the biggest gift for her.
Ying Yue: "I-It's Okay H-husband, you can c-continue do what y-you need. Our m-marriage can wait, as long a-as you have m-me in your heart I-I can wait. Y-you coming back was already m-my biggest gift to m-me."
Lie Fan sees Ying Yue trying to talk while crying and stuttering The words she is saying make his heart hurt, Lie Fan puts down the hand he is holding and hugs Ying Yue tightly while rubbing her back.
Yu Yan seeing the situation calls for Wannian to follow her and Snow who sees that Wannian is following her mother runs to catch up with his little master.
Ying Yue was holding Lie Fan's chest while trying to stop her tears, She knew that Lie Fan was destined to do great things since they were kids so that's why her dream was to become the place that receives Lie Fan back home with warmth and Love.
Lie Fan releases the hug and seeing how Ying Yue is trying to stop crying is painful but too cute at the same time, the snow shite face turning red especially the little nose and the lips that open and close to breathe.
Lie Fan seeing the red and little lips can't stop the feeling of kissing it and so he does it, he kisses Ying Yue with passion and longing. Ying Yue who was kissed by Lie Fan was surprised at first but then closed her eyes and followed Lie Fan's movement.
Lie Fan tasting the cherry again after so long can't stop and begins to invade Ying Yue's lips with his tongue, Ying Yue opens her lips willingly and the two tongues duel trying to express their longing and affection towards each other, Lie Fan that misses and feel sorry for Ying Yue and Ying Yue who misses and relieved that Lie Fan is back.

Lie Fan tasting the cherry again after so long can't stop and begins to invade Ying Yue's lips with his tongue, Ying Yue opens her lips willingly and the two tongues duel trying to express their longing and affection towards each other, Lie Fan that misses and feel sorry for Ying Yue and Ying Yue who misses and relieved that Lie Fan is back.
Their kiss continues for a long time until Ying Yue feels that she can't breathe anymore and uses her right hand to hit Lie Fan's chest to signal him to stop as she can't breathe.
Lie Fan who received the signal released the locked lips and the shining threads attached to him and Ying Yue are the only evidence of the passionate kiss that they have
Lie Fan: "Wife, why are you hitting me I haven't had enough yet!"
Ying Yue: "I can't breathe that's why I signal you to stop Husband and it's in the middle of the day what if we are seen by the servants or your retinue."
Lie Fan: "Aiyoo all of them are busy and no one will pass through here at this time, why don't we continue it hmm?"
Ying Yue hearing that can only smile at this side of Lie Fan that he showed only to his family, she takes his hand and holds it tightly trying to assure herself that Lie Fan is here and she is not hallucinating.
Ying Yue: "Mother and Wannian are waiting for us in the dining room, now that you're back we have plenty of time to spend together so let's spend this time with Family okay?"
Lie Fan nodded his head and after positioning their hands to a comfortable position, together they walked towards the dining room where Yu Yan and Wanniang were waiting for them to eat dinner together.
Lie Fan's bodyguards are watching from a distance so as to not disturb their lord's personal time, Lie Fan and Ying Yu enjoy other small time together walking while enjoying the sight of the Lie Clan Estate Garden that Yu Yan personally takes care of.
Arriving at the dining room, Lie Fan and Ying Yue enter together greeted by the sight of Yu Yan scolding Wannian who was sulking while sitting on her stool hugging Snow.
Lie Fan: "Mother why are you scolding Wannian? Does our little princess do something bad?"
Yu Yan: "Of Course she is! You and your Father are always spoiling her, now Look she dares to go out playing with Snow and meet up with other children! What if something bad happens to her!"
Lie Fan: "Wannian why do you go out without Mother and Sister Ying Yue's permission?"
Wannian: "It's because Wannian feels bored only playing with Snow and Sister Ying Yue that's why Wannian sneaks out and goes to play with other kids! Wannian doesn't tell mother or sister Ying Yue because Wannian knows that Wannian will be closed by Mother"
Lie Fan: "What if something happens to you, next time you have to ask Brother, Mother, and Sister Ying Yue permission okay?"
Wannian: "Okay Big Brother! Big Brother is the best!"
Lie Fan and Ying Yue seeing the cute smile showing from Wannian can only chuckle while Yu Yan shakes her head, Her Husband and Son can only pamper and spoil the little princess. She feels bad for the future husband Wannian going to have as he has to face Lie Shang and Lie Fan.
Lie Fan and Ying Yue take a seat beside each other, Lie Fan pours down some tea telling his Mother to calm down and forgive Wannian as she is still a little girl while asking how she knows that Wannian sneaked out to play.
Yu Yan: "I'm her Mother of course I knew, her skirts this past few weeks have been dirty all over! Wannian asks Mother Who have you been playing with?"
Wannian: "I played with many friends! But my favorite is Big Brother Liu! He is smart and knows many things that even Wannian doesn't know!"
Lie Fan who was drinking his tea heard what Wannian said and spit his tea out shocking everyone at the table, Ying Yue pats Lie Fan back while Lie Fan was coughing shocked by Wannian statement.
Lie Fan: "Big Brother Liu? Big Brother only thought that Wannian called Big Brother Big Brother."
Wannian: "It's different! Big Brother is Wannian's family and Big Brother Liu is Wannian's friend! He always plays with me and also brings treats for Snow!"
Lie Fan feels suffocated thinking that his little sister is close to a boy, Ying Yue, and Yu Yan seeing the interaction between the two siblings can only smile.
Dinner passed by with laughter and was full of warm radiating, Lie Fan had a full nice meal after a long time of tasting bland food at Xiapi. After dinner, Yu Yan had a private talk with Lie Fan at the study to talk about the Clan business.
Yu Yan: "Fan'er, Our business is blossoming here in Luoyang. Our delicacies and wine are top-quality goods that were searched by all classes of people!"
Lie Fan: "That's great Mother! But I'm pretty sure that you called me here not to report the profits we received from our business."
Yu Yan: "My Son is sharp as always, While our business is blooming many spies are trying to get the recipe for our Wine. Especially now that Bronze Mirror has started to be sold here in Luoyang, more spies are coming to know our knowledge."
Lie Fan: "Do they know that the Lie Clan are the master behind the shadows Mother?"
Yu Yan: "Fortunately Xu Kai and Sun Qian do a great job covering our identity with counter-espionage is the words they used."
Lie Fan breathes a sigh of relief because if these people know that Lie Fan is the owner of the hottest restaurant and commodities in Luoyang then either they force him to join or kill him and take control of his enterprise.
Lie Fan told his Mother that he would bring her and everyone to Xiapi when his business here in Luoyang is done as it's safer there, Yu Yan agreed with Lie Fan's idea and told him that he is the head of the Clan when his Father is not here to do so.
Both of Them hugged each other and Lie Fan escorted Yu Yan back to her quarters then Lie Fan turned back to his quarters to sleep. Reaching his quarters he sees Ying Yue waiting for him, seeing her brings a smile to Lie Fan especially how she grew more beautiful and her innocent eyes heal his tired heart.
Lie Fan: "Wife! What brings you here in the night, Do you want to do something naughty hmm?"
Lie Fan asked Ying Yue while raising his eyebrows and giving a smirk, Ying Yue was shy when Lie Fan asked her that and showed a fist to Lie Fan like a harmless kitten trying to paw its master.
Ying Yue: "Husband! You're being naught again, I know you wanted to do that but I hope we can wait until our marriage I'm sorry."
Ying Yue put her head down after saying that afraid that Lie Fan would be angry, Lie Fan seeing that smiled and understood that women in this era could be said more conservative should we say.
Lie Fan said it was okay he could wait and take Ying Yue's hand together entered Lie Fan's bedroom and Lie Fan told Ying Yue to lie down to sleep with him, he promised to not do anything he just wanted to hug Ying Yue to sleep.
Ying Yue was shy but acquiesced to Lie Fan's demand and together the both of them slept while Lie Fan hugged Ying Yue with moonlight shining on the room.
The next morning, Lie Fan was woken up by the movement beside him and when he opened his eyes he saw Ying Yue opening the door and sheepishly talking with someone who from the sound of the voice was Sun Qian.
Ying Yue turned her head to see Lie Fan and saw that he had woken up, she smiled at him and gestured that Sun Qian was looking for him. Lie Fan groans and gets up from his bed, changes into new clothes, and walks out of the room.
Sun Qian who was waiting for Lie Fan outside saw Lie Fan walking out, he greeted Lie Fan and apologized for disturbing him early this morning but a guest was waiting for him at the west wing where only close friends are received.
Lie Fan said goodbye to Ying Yue and was accompanied by Sun Qian, He Yi, and Gong Du walked toward the west wing, Lie Fan asked Sun Qian who was visiting him this early morning.
Sun Qian answered that Xun You had come here and looked for Lie Fan, he said that he had something important to discuss with Lie Fan and both of them must meet.
Lie Fan nods his head and together they arrive at the west wing, Lie Fan can hear sounds of conversation between Jia Xu and Xun You exchanging academic intellect and debating some morals and ethics in doing their assignment.
Lie Fan enters the room and both Jia Xu and Xun You stand up greeting Lie Fan, Lie Fan receives their greetings and gestures to both of them to sit down while he takes his place.
Lie Fan: "Good Morning Master Xun You, what brought you here early morning to meet me?"
Xun You: "I'm sorry for disturbing your rest Governor Lie, I coming here in the early morning because I wanted to reply or give my answer about the subtle invitation you're giving me."
Lie Fan hearing that realizes that Xun You will answer the long-awaited subtle invitation that he and Jia Xu have been giving to him since the time that Xun You planted the seeds of doubt about the Han Dynasty by Jia Xu and aggravated further by Sun Qian.
