___________________________

After finishing their tea, they continued their walk through the marketplace, Lie Fan carrying Yao Yao on his shoulders while Chenchen held his hand. The sight of their lord and his family walking among them, enjoying a simple family outing, brought smiles to the faces of the people of Xiapi. Of course, none of them dared to get close, seeing Lie Fan's bodyguard and a small guard entourage surrounding Lie Fan and his family.

After around 20 minutes, they finally arrived at the Lie Clan estate. When they entered, they saw Diao Chan and Cai Wenji sitting at the garden gazebo, drinking tea and watching Lu Lingqi playing tag with Yanyan and Nuonuo in the garden.

Seeing their sisters playing with Mother Lu, both Chenchen and Yaoyao immediately ran to join them, leaving Lie Fan, Ying Yue, and Wannian to join Diao Chan and Cai Wenji at the gazebo.

Seeing Lie Fan had returned from his campaign, Diao Chan and Cai Wenji stood up andsed to see him and then took turns hugging him. Noticing Diao Chan's bulging belly, Lie Fan felt distressed for leaving her alone during his campaign.

He immediately took a seat beside her, hugging her and asking how she and the baby felt. "Chan'er how are you and our baby feel? I'm sorry that I left the two of you due to my campaign." as he said so, Lie Fan caressed Diao Chan's belly.

Feeling the long-lost comfort from Lie Fan, Diao Chan who had become more emotional due to the pregnancy suddenly let out some tears, causing everyone to be surprised and Lie Fan to panic thinking that he doe something wrong.

Knowing that she had caused some commotion, Diao Chan wiped her tears and apologized, "I'm sorry everyone, it's just that I feel touched and relieved that I can be hugged and feel the long lost warmth of my Husband. This pregnancy had truly made me too emotional."

Hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, especially Lie Fan, who immediately kissed her on the forehead and said, "No Chan'er you don't need to apologize, it's me who should apologize. Don't worry I promise to spend more time with you until you give birth to our second child and after you give birth."

Listening to Lie Fan's words, although Ying Yue and Cai Wenji felt a bit jealous of Diao Chan, they also understood his decision. Diao Chan's emotions were very unpredictable due to the pregnancy and needed more care, especially since they could empathize with how she felt.

At this time, Lu Lingqi joined them at the gazebo, letting Chenchen, Yaoyao, Yanyan, and Nuonuo play together. She immediately came to Lie Fan's other side and hugged him for a minute before letting him go, understanding that Lie Fan needed to spend more time with Diao Chan, who was pregnant.

Lie Fan, feeling the warmth and support of his family, took a deep breath and smiled. "It's good to finally be home again," he said, looking around at the faces of his loved ones. They all returned his smile, the atmosphere filled with contentment and love.

As they settled down, Lie Fan asked everyone if there were any changes on the estate that he should know about, and hearing this question Ying Yue was the first one to replied Lie Fan.

"The estate has been running smoothly, Husband. There's some expansion made here and there, all under Master Liu Ye's initiative, and insist on it saying that it's to fit your status." Ying Yue said as she took a snack before eating it after she finished her words.

Lie Fan nodded, could only show a wry smile at sometimes the actions of his advisors. "That's good to hear, Cai Wenji. Just follow whatever the masters suggest, even I sometimes can't say no to what they want."

Everyone let out a giggle when they heard what Lie Fan said because they knew what he said was true. There were many times that his advisors suggested that he expand his estate, and whenever Lie Fan disagreed saying that it was big enough all of his advisors would come and protest his decision.

After the giggle, Diao Chan, now composed, added, "The gardens have also been expanded thanks to Master Liu Ye's insistent, and due to that we've planted new herbs and flowers that should be useful for both culinary and medicinal purposes."

Lie Fan looked at Diao Chan with pride. "That's a great idea, You've done a wonderful job, Chan'er. But please don't do any hard work and tire yourself okay?"

"I know Husband, please this isn't my first pregnancy and I just oversee the servants planted the herbs with Sister Ying and Sister Cai." Diao Chan rolled her eyes at what Lie Fan said, causing Lie Fan to let out a wry smile seeing what she did.

Cai Weniji also chimed in some words after that, "And the children have been progressing well with their studies, especially Chenchen he showed great talent and interest in government and military topics. All of them are eager to learn more about many things."

Lie Fan's heart swelled with pride as he looked over at his children playing happily in the garden. "It's important that they receive a well-rounded education. They are the future of our clan and must be prepared for the responsibilities that lie ahead, so it's okay to teach them about all topics no need to differentiate between what Chenchen learns with what Yaoyao, Yanyan, and Nuonuo learn."

The group continued to talk and enjoy each other's company, discussing plans for the future and sharing stories of their time apart.

As night fell, the family gathered for dinner, sharing a meal filled with laughter and joy. Lie Fan couldn't help but feel grateful that he could finally spend time with his family once again, especially his children who unknowingly to him had grown up so big.

The group continued to talk and enjoy each other's company, discussing plans for the future and sharing stories of their time apart.

As night fell, the family gathered for dinner, sharing a meal filled with laughter and joy. Lie Fan couldn't help but feel grateful that he could finally spend time with his family once again, especially his children who, unbeknownst to him, had grown up so big.

After dinner, everyone returned to their chambers, and Lie Fan went to sleep in Diao Chan's chamber to accompany her after taking his bath. The next day, Lie Fan woke up first before Diao Chan, who was still sleeping, letting out a smile of contentment as if she was having one of her best sleeps in the last several months.

Seeing the beautiful and glowing face of Diao Chan, Lie Fan gave a soft kiss on her cheek before getting up and taking his morning bath, then heading toward his study to tackle the paperwork that had surely amassed in his absence.

When he arrived, he was surprised to see Sima Yi and Sima Lang waiting for him. Seeing Lie Fan enter, both Sima Yi and Sima Lang greeted him respectfully and apologized for intruding on him so early in the morning and entering his study without permission.

Lie Fan waved his hand dismissively, indicating that it was fine, and after taking his seat, he asked the two of them at what time they arrived, who received them, and when Sima Lang had arrived in Xiapi.

Sima Lang stepped forward and replied to Lie Fan's questions one by one, "My Lord, I alongside my brother had arrived at your estate 15 minutes ago, and it was Lady Ying Yue who received the two of us and told us to wait for you at your study as you're still taking your rest, and I had just arrived in Xiapi yesterday at night after riding for several days from Guangling."

Listening to Sima Lang's explanation, Lie Fan nodded and then asked Sima Lang, "I see, okay then what's the reason the two of you came here today? I'm sure it's an important thing to discuss, seeing at the time both of you choose to come and see me."

At this question, both Sima Yi and Sima Lang exchanged a glance. After receiving a nod of encouragement from his brother, Sima Yi took a deep breath and stepped forward.

With a face full of seriousness and sincerity, Sima Yi cupped his hands, went down on both knees, and said to Lie Fan with a tone full of sincerity, hope, and seriousness, "My Lord, the reason I came here alongside my older brother was to request your permission to allow me and Sister Wannian to be engaged and old our marriage."

Lie Fan felt as if he had been struck by lightning upon hearing Sima Yi's request. Thinking he had misheard, he asked Sima Yi to repeat his words. Sima Yi, with the same tone as before, reiterated his request.

The room fell silent as Lie Fan processed the information. His initial shock began to give way to contemplation. He had always known that this day would come, but it still took him by surprise. He regarded Sima Yi carefully, seeing the determination and genuine affection in the young man's eyes.

Lie Fan took a deep breath, collecting his thoughts. "Sima Yi, your request is unexpected, but not unwelcome. I have known how you treated Wannian with the respect and affection she deserves. However, this is a significant decision, not just for you and Wannian, but for both of our families. I must consider this carefully."

Sima Yi, still kneeling, nodded. "I understand, my lord. I would not ask this if I did not truly believe in my feelings for Wannian. I am prepared to prove my worthiness and dedication, both to you and to her."

Sima Lang spoke up, adding his voice to support his brother. "My lord, I can vouch for Sima Yi's sincerity and commitment. He has always been earnest in his intentions towards Lady Wannian. I believe this union would be beneficial for both our families and the Sima Clan had many talented people that will always be at your and your clan's disposal for as long as we serve your clan."

Lie Fan appreciated the earnestness of their pleas. He looked at the two brothers, understanding the weight of their request. "Very well. I will speak with Wannian about this matter. If she agrees, then we will proceed with the engagement and make the necessary arrangements for the wedding. You have my tentative blessing, but it will depend on Wannian's feelings as well."

Sima Yi and Sima Lang both bowed deeply, gratitude evident in their expressions. "Thank you, my lord. We will await your decision and respect whatever you and Lady Wannian decide."

With that, the brothers took their leave, allowing Lie Fan to return to his paperwork. He couldn't help but smile at the thought of his sister finding happiness, a bit jealous at how Wannian wouldn't be the little sister he could hold in the palm of his hand, and ecstatic that with this move, he would gain the ultimate loyalty of Sima Yi and the Sima Clan.

With that, the brothers took their leave, allowing Lie Fan to return to his paperwork. He couldn't help but smile at the thought of his sister finding happiness, a bit jealous at how Wannian wouldn't be the little sister he could hold in the palm of his hand, and ecstatic that with this move, he would gain the ultimate loyalty of Sima Yi and the Sima Clan.

Of course, he wouldn't give his decision to Sima Yi and Sima Lang without consulting his little sister first, whether Wannian agrees to this or not is important.

Because he felt that he had become one of the strongest warlords now, not only to realize his ambition but also to allow his family to do whatever they wanted including deciding who they wanted to spend their life with.

As he was thinking so, Lie Fan kept doing his paperwork, determined to at least cut some of the piled up paperwork, and time passed by unknowingly for Lie Fan until he was called by Lu Lingqi to have breakfast as everyone was waiting for him now.

Hearing that, Lie Fan stood up from his seat, and after hugging Lu Lingqi's waist with his right hand, the two of them walked together toward the dining room while spending some small intimate time together. Lu Lingqi snuggled up inside Lie Fan's arm as they walked, talking about some nonchalant things until they arrived at the dining room.

Due to the size of his family now, Lie Fan expanded the dining room several times, increasing the size of the dining table, and the number of dining chairs to accommodate his growing family.

Inside the dining room, Ying Yue, Diao Chan, Cai Wenji, Wannian, Chenchen, Yaoyao, Yanyan, and Nuonuo were waiting for him and Lu Lingqi. After taking their seat, Lie Fan takes his chopsticks and eats the first bite of a fish dish before everyone begins to eat, as they had breakfast together it was filled with harmony as they discussed menial things.

Noticing that the atmosphere was right, Lie Fan took several bites of his favorite meat dish before putting down his chopsticks, taking a sip of his water, and letting out a loud cough attracting everyone's attention.

After everyone's attention was on him he turned to face Wannian with a serious expression on his face and said to her, "Wannian do you remember what you blurted out during the time we spent at the tea shop yesterday?"

Hearing this question everyone but Ying Yue and Wannian was confused, Ying Yue was also confused as to why her husband suddenly brought this up while Wannian's face immediately turned red, and replied to Lie Fan with a small voice, "Yes Brother I remember, why do you suddenly bring this up in the morning? It's just an accident I swear!"

Lie Fan's eyes softened as he looked at his sister, Wannian red face. She was no longer the little girl who used to chase him around the courtyard, giggling as he pretended to let her catch him.

Now, she was a young woman, and her sudden outburst at the tea shop the previous day had taken him by surprise. With Sima Yi's arrival this morning, he is sure now that the two of them must have had some talk about this matter because he knew that Sima Yi would surely ask for Wannian's permission first.

Lie Fan smiled gently at his sister, trying to put her at ease despite the serious look on his face. "Wannian, Sima Yi, and his brother came to see me this morning. Sima Yi has asked for your hand in marriage. I wanted to speak with you first before giving any decision."

The room fell silent. All eyes were on Wannian, whose blush deepened, and she looked down at her hands, fidgeting nervously with the hem of her sleeve. The other women at the table exchanged glances, sensing the gravity of the situation. Ying Yue, seated beside Lie Fan, reached out and placed a reassuring hand on Wannian's arm.

"Wannian," Ying Yue said softly, "your brother just wants to make sure that you're happy and that this is truly what you want."

Wannian looked up, her eyes meeting Lie Fan's. She could see the concern in his gaze, the protective love that had always been a constant in her life. But there was also something else, an understanding that, as much as he wanted to shield her from the world, he knew she had to make her own choices.

Wannian took a deep breath, her face still red but her eyes determined. "Brother, I've thought about it. I know that what I said yesterday was impulsive, but the shared feelings between us are genuine. If you believe that we are a good match, I will follow whatever decision you made."

Lie Fan's serious expression softened into a smile, a mix of helplessness and happiness. "It's not just about my belief, Wannian. It's about your happiness too. If you feel comfortable with Sima Yi and see a future with him, then I will support this marriage wholeheartedly."

Wannian hearing that nodded her head, a small smile playing on her lips. "I do, Brother. I truly do. He has been kind and considerate when we spend some time together, and I believe we could have a good life if you gave us your blessing."

Lie Fan nodded, and let out a deep sigh, as while he was satisfied with her response, Lie Fan couldn't help but be cautious. "Sima Yi is a brilliant young and outstanding strategist, whose loyalty to our cause has never been in question. But marriage is not just about love, Wannian. It's about compatibility, trust, and the ability to support one another through the challenges that life will inevitably throw at you."

Wannian's eyes glistened with unshed tears the moment she heard her brother's words, touched by his doting and protectiveness to her but she held her composure. "I know, Brother. And I'm ready for that. I want to build a life with Sima Yi, to stand by his side as he stands by mine."

Lie Fan let out a small sigh of relief, a weight lifting from his shoulders. He had always known that this day would come, but it didn't make it any easier. His little sister was growing up, and he had to let her go. But before he could give his blessing, there was still one more thing he needed to be certain of.

"Very well," Lie Fan said, his tone shifting to one of finality. "I will speak to Sima Yi and Sima Lang. But before I give my approval, I want you to take some time to think it over carefully. Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and I want you to be absolutely sure that this is the path you want to take."

Wannian nodded willing some of the tears in her face, understanding the seriousness of her brother's words. "I will, Brother. Thank you for always looking out for me, I love you, Brother."

With that, the tension in the room eased, and every single one of Lie Fan's wives gave encouragement and advice to Wannian, and the children were eating without knowing what had just happened, while Lie Fan continued to eat, his mind still occupied with thoughts of the future.

He knew that his decision would not only affect Wannian but also the Sima Clan's loyalty and the stability of his continuously growing power base. He had always been strategic in his decisions, and this was no different in the end, as long as his sister was happy.

After breakfast, Lie Fan excused himself and made his way back to his study. The day was still young, but there was much to do. He had letters to draft, meetings to attend, and of course, the matter of Sima Yi and Wannian to discuss with his advisors.

The morning passed in a blur of activity, and by midday, Lie Fan found himself deep in conversation with Jia Xu, Chen Qun, Sun Qian, and Lu Su.

They discussed the potential marriage alliance between the Lie Clan and the Sima Clan, weighing the pros and cons, considering the political implications, and the long-term benefits of bringing the Sima Clan closer to his own family. He would support his sister's decision, but he would do so on his terms to maximize the benefits he would receive.

By the time the sun began to set, Lie Fan had made his decision. He would speak to Sima Yi and Sima Lang the next day, but first, he would have one final conversation with Wannian. He wanted to make sure that she fully understood the implications of her choice and that she was prepared for the life that lay ahead of her.

That evening, as the family gathered for dinner, Lie Fan noticed the subtle glances exchanged between Wannian and Ying Yue. The two of them were always close, much closer than the others were to Wannian, and he knew that Ying Yue had likely spent the afternoon reassuring Wannian and helping her sort through her emotions.

After the meal, Lie Fan took Wannian aside, leading her to a quiet corner of the garden where they could speak privately. The night was cool, and the stars shone brightly overhead, casting a soft glow over the flowers and trees that surrounded them.

"Wannian," Lie Fan began, his voice gentle, "I want you to know that whatever you decide, I will support you. But I also want you to understand that this marriage if it happens, will be more than just a personal choice. It will be a political alliance, and with that comes certain responsibilities."

Wannian looked up at her brother, her expression serious as she knew what her brother meant after talking with her sister in law. "I understand, Brother. I've thought about it, and I'm ready to accept those responsibilities. I want to be with Sima Yi, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen."

Lie Fan smiled, proud of the woman his sister had become. "Then I will speak to Sima Yi tomorrow. But remember, this is a decision that will affect the rest of your life. Be sure that it's what you truly want."

"I am, Brother," Wannian replied, her voice filled with determination. "I am sure."

With that, Lie Fan embraced his sister, feeling a mix of emotions pride, love, and a touch of sadness at the thought of her leaving the family home. But he knew that this was the right choice, not just for Wannian, but for their entire family.

The next day, Lie Fan summoned both Sima Yi and Sima Lang to his estate. When the two brothers received the summons, they immediately made their way to the Lie Clan estate, their minds buzzing with speculation about the purpose of the meeting.

As they arrived, a servant greeted them at the entrance and led them through the estate's grandeur, past the intricately decorated halls and corridors, until they reached the main hall.

Entering the main hall, Sima Yi and Sima Lang were greeted by a sight that confirmed their suspicions. Lie Fan was seated in the main seat, where the left side was filled by all his wives and Wannian, while on the right side, there were Jia Xu, Sun Qian, and Chen Qun.

Lie Fan stood to greet them, his expression a mixture of determination and warmth. "Sima Yi, Sima Lang, thank you for coming. I appreciate the promptness you two have."

The two brothers bowed respectfully. "My lord, it is our duty to answer your summon and it was always an honor to be here. What matters bring us together today?" Sima Yi inquired, his eyes taking in the gathered company before staying at Wannian.

Lie Fan gestured for them to sit. As they settled into their seats, Lie Fan began, "I have called you here today to discuss the proposal Sima Yi requested to me yesterday, I'm sure the two of you, especially Sima Yi would remember."

Wannian, who was seated beside Lie Fan, met Sima Yi's gaze with a steady resolve, shyness filled her eyes, and blush slowly crept up to her face and her neck.

Sima Yi seeing the shyness and redness on Wannian's face, his heart immediately beat faster and faster, and he exchanged eye contact with his brother beside him who gave him a nod, indicating that what he thinks is true.

Lie Fan continued, his gaze shifting between Sima Yi and Wannian. "After much consideration and discussion with Wannian, I have come to a decision regarding her request. I have agreed to grant your request to marry her, Sima Yi. However, there are a few conditions we must observe to ensure that this marriage is both meaningful and appropriate."

Sima Yi listened intently, his heart pounding with anticipation. He had hoped for this outcome, but the formalization of the matter added a new level of happiness in his heart. Wannian's shyness was palpable, and Sima Yi's love for her only grew stronger.

Lie Fan took a deep breath, continuing, "First, we will hold an engagement ceremony. This will allow both families to formally acknowledge and celebrate the upcoming marriage between you and Wannian, and it will give us the opportunity to prepare for the marriage in a manner befitting both our traditions."

Sima Yi nodded, fully understanding the significance of the engagement ceremony. "I appreciate the consideration, my lord. An engagement is a fitting way to honor the commitment I and Sister Wannian are making."

Lie Fan's gaze softened as he looked at Wannian. "Once the engagement is in place, we will then work together to select an auspicious date for the marriage. This is crucial, as the timing of such an event holds great importance for the future harmonies shared between the two of you, ensuring that everything aligns perfectly to bless the marriage, and support the future endeavors of you and Wannian."

Wannian's blush deepened, a mixture of excitement and nervousness evident in her demeanor. Her eyes remained locked on Sima Yi's, and the shared understanding and love between them was clear where everyone in the hall could see. The prospect of their engagement and eventual marriage was beginning to feel more real, and her heart swelled with hope and happiness.
