Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 192 Returning to Danzhou, Emperor Qing was also there (Part 2)

"It must be because you, my husband, often use your inner energy to nourish my body that I haven't been affected!"

Sang Wen stroked her lower abdomen, a happy look on her face.

Seeing this, Haitang Duoduo coughed lightly, picked up the medicine packet, and said, "Um, I'll go get this..."

"I'll go!"

Leng Feibai took the medicine packet and said with a smile, "You must be exhausted after shopping all morning. Let me brew the medicine!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai ran out like a gust of wind.

Looking at Leng Feibai's retreating figure, Haitang Duoduo raised an eyebrow and said, "What's wrong with him? He seems to have taken a bunch of tonics, and he's suddenly full of energy."

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but laugh and said, "He's probably going to be a father soon, and he's become very happy. I've been wondering what it would be like if Fan Xian became a father."

The three women chattered excitedly, seemingly already imagining how exhausted the two men must be taking care of the child.

Not long after, Lin Wan'er felt a little tired, so she got up and left the room.

Watching Lin Wan'er leave, the two women temporarily stopped talking.

Haitang Duoduo rested her chin on her hand and said curiously, "He's really happy. It seems he really likes this child."

"Perhaps it's because she's a blood relative of my husband!"

Sang Wen had lived in Danzhou before and knew a lot about Leng Feibai's family.

Sang Wen stroked her lower abdomen and slowly said to Haitang Duoduo, "Grandma told me that when my husband was three years old, both his parents passed away. In addition, the Leng family only had one son, so my husband was raised by Grandma Fan! Perhaps my husband really wanted a family member connected to him by blood!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Feibai pushed open the door and walked in, carrying the prepared medicine for preventing miscarriage and a plate of candied fruit that wouldn't affect the medicine's efficacy.

"Sang Wen, take your medicine later!"

Leng Feibai put his things down and said calmly, "You must be tired after shopping all day. Get some rest. I'll bring you dinner!"

Sang Wen nodded, turned around, and lay down on the bed.

In the inn's garden, Haitang Duoduo looked at Leng Feibai, who had a helpless expression, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"The old saying is true: a man grows up sometimes in the blink of an eye!"

Leng Feibai covered his face and said, "Suddenly, I'm going to be a father. Countless things are going to pile up all at once!"

"hehe!"

Haitang Duoduo gave a strange laugh and said irritably, "This is only the first one, and you're already this worried. You'll have a real headache when there are more babies!"

Before Leng Feibai could speak, Fan Xian's voice rang out, "What do you mean, 'more'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Xian and Wang Qinian sat down beside the two of them, looking exhausted.

"came back!"

Leng Feibai rubbed his head and asked, "What did the head managers say?"

"They said they would discuss together how to help me get the three workshops up and running!"

Fan Xian rubbed his head and said, "As for my idea, the head manager and the others don't agree either. After all, I'm new to managing the three major workshops, and my foundation isn't stable yet. If I act recklessly, it would cause chaos in the three major workshops, which would be troublesome. By the way, brother, what did you say earlier?"

Seeing Fan Xian's curious expression, Leng Feibai said calmly, "Sang Wen is pregnant, almost three months along!"

As soon as he said that, Wang Qinian and Fan Xian widened their eyes and raised their hands to congratulate him.

"Congratulations!"

Leng Feibai stood up, looked at the sky, and turned to Fan Xian, saying, "By the way, have you seen Uncle Wuzhu?"

"We've run into them!"

Fan Xian rubbed his hair and said, "Uncle Wu Zhu said he will stay in the valley for the time being to protect the head manager and the others, and then leave with us when we return to the capital."

"Ok!"

Leng Feibai responded, then said, "Fan Xian, the rest of the journey is yours to walk!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, Sister-in-law Sang Wen is pregnant. You're worried about her and want to go back to Danzhou, right?"

Leng Feibai didn't say anything, only calmly nodded. "When are you leaving?"

"Let's get ready tomorrow, and we'll leave the day after!"

Leng Feibai patted Fan Xian on the shoulder and said, "With Shadow and Yan Bingyun helping you here, I can return to Danzhou with peace of mind. Before I leave, let me give you six words!"

As Leng Feibai spoke, he handed Fan Xian a note he had been hiding in his bosom.

Fan Xian took it and saw that there were six words written on the note.

"Think of danger, think of retreat, think of change!"

Wang Qinian read the words aloud and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what does this mean?"

Fan Xian's expression turned extremely serious after hearing this, but he still managed to explain it to Wang Qinian.

Reflect on potential dangers and consider the mistakes and risks you may have encountered in the past.
Think of retreating; if you know a place is dangerous, retreat to a safe place and wait for an opportunity.

Be adaptable; seize any opportunity to change your current situation.

Wang Qinian suddenly realized what was happening, looked up, and found that Leng Feibai and Haitang Duoduo had already disappeared from the spot.

Early on the third day, Fan Xian and the others stood on the dock, watching Leng Feibai and the other two who had already boarded the ship, and waved.

"Fan Xian, be careful!"

Leng Feibai stood at the bow of the boat, holding Haitang Duoduo's hand in one hand and supporting Sang Wendao with the other, saying, "Although the Ming family has been defeated, they are still a formidable force. Moreover, various forces are still watching from the shadows, so don't be careless!"

"rest assured!"

Fan Xian said confidently, "I'm not a child anymore, I'll be careful!"

As the group talked, the large ship beneath their feet slowly began to set sail.

Upon seeing this, Leng Feibai shouted, "When we're done, let's go back to Danzhou to visit Grandma. She's waiting for us at home!"

Fan Xian didn't answer, he just nodded. After the boat had sailed away, Fan Xian turned around and said, "Let's go, Shadow, Young Master Yan, we should go settle accounts with the Ming family."

The next afternoon, at the port of Danzhou, Leng Feibai, carrying a pile of luggage, helped Sang Wen to the shore.

Haitang Duoduo, also carrying luggage, curiously looked at the scenery around Danzhou Port.

"Let's go. Although Danzhou is known for its shipping and aquatic products, its port is outside the city."

Leng Feibai pointed to the city not far away and said, "That's Danzhou City. We'll be home soon!"

Looking at the city before her, Haitang Duoduo suddenly became nervous.

Even though she is generous, she is still quite impulsive when it comes to meeting her family elders with her man.

"that!"

Haitang Duoduo couldn't help but ask, "Should I buy Grandma some gifts?"

"I've already bought it!"

Leng Feibai pointed to the red bundle hanging on Haitang Duoduo's right shoulder and said, "Several kinds of Suzhou snacks, and two boxes of local special tea, all of which are Grandma's favorite flavors!"

After making preparations, Leng Feibai arrived at the gate of the Fan residence with his two wives.

Just as Leng Feibai was about to knock on the door, Haitang Duoduo couldn't help but grab his hand and say, "Wait a minute, I'm a little nervous!"

"Sister, don't worry!"

Sang Wen quickly comforted Haitang Duoduo, saying, "Grandma is a kind old lady, and I get along very well with her."

Haitang Duoduo wanted to say something more, but the door suddenly opened from inside the house.

"Master Feibai!"

Inside the door, Awang rubbed his eyes in disbelief. "Why are you back?"

"I brought my wife back to see Grandma!"

Leng Feibai smiled and asked, "How has Grandma been lately?"

"Forehead!"

Awang hesitated for a moment, then pointed inside and said, "Why don't you go and see for yourself in the old lady's room?" Leng Feibai's heart skipped a beat when he saw Awang's expression, and he quickly ran inside.

Seeing this, Haitang Duoduo and Sang Wen followed them inside.

Inside the room, Leng Feibai looked at the old lady Fan lying on the bed with a sallow complexion, and anxiously asked the maid beside him, "Sister Chunyan, when did Grandma become like this?"

Chunyan quickly replied, "The old lady was fine yesterday, but she was like this when she woke up this morning."

Sang Wen, who had followed, quickly asked, "Has the doctor examined you?"

Chunyan nodded and said, "It's just that the old lady caught a cold, and Steward Wang has already gone to get the medicine."

Leng Feibai remained expressionless upon hearing this, reached under the covers and grabbed Old Madam Fan's hand, then activated his Double-Handed Technique.

A flash of red light appeared, and the sickly look on Old Mrs. Fan's face vanished instantly.

Chunyan asked in surprise, "What's wrong, Madam?"

"Grandma is alright now!"

Leng Feibai withdrew his hand and turned to Chunyan, saying, "Go prepare some warm water; Grandma will probably be thirsty when she wakes up."

Upon hearing this, Chunyan quickly retreated.

At the same time, Grandma Fan's eyelids moved, and she quickly woke up.

"grandmother!"

Leng Feibai quickly stepped forward and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Cough cough!"

Grandma Fan coughed twice and looked at the three people around her, saying, "Feibai, Sangwen, and who is this?"

Upon seeing this, Haitang Duoduo quickly bowed and said, "Haitang Duoduo greets Grandma!"

"You are Duoduo!"

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Fan sat up straight, looked her up and down, and said with a smile, "She's a good girl. Fei Bai is lucky to have you and Sang Wen willing to accompany him. I can rest assured now!"

Leng Feibai smiled and said, "There's even better news, Grandma, you're going to be a great-grandmother!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Grandma Fan's eyes widened, and she quickly said, "What did you say?"

Sang Wen is pregnant!

Leng Feibai said calmly, "It's been almost three months!"

"real!"

Upon hearing this, Grandma Fan quickly pointed to a chair and gestured for Sang Wen to sit down. She smiled happily and said, "That's wonderful! Now Grandma can give an explanation to your Leng family ancestors."

Seeing Grandma Fan's expression, Leng Feibai quickly grabbed her hand, afraid that the old lady might be overjoyed...

"Now that you're back, are you leaving again?"

Grandma Fan pulled her hand away from Leng Feibai and looked at him calmly.

"I'm not leaving! I'm not leaving for anything! Nothing outside matters to me anymore!"

Leng Feibai patted his chest and said, "From now on, I will stay in Danzhou to take good care of Grandma, my wife and children, and manage the Leng family's business!"

"You silly child!"

Seeing this, Grandma Fan pointed to the cabinet next to her and said, "There's a sandalwood box in there, bring it over!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Feibai dared not delay and quickly took the box over.

Grandma Fan opened the box and took out a stack of house deeds, land deeds, and several sets of keys, saying, "The Leng family's assets are all kept here. Your mother entrusted them to me back then. Now it's time to return these things to their rightful owners!"

Leng Feibai nodded after hearing this, but still chose to put the things back.

"Grandma, please keep these things for me for now!"

Leng Feibai scratched his head and said, "Since we've chosen to come back, we should stay with Grandma for a while before returning to the Leng family. That way, it will be easier to take care of her!"

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fan felt a fleeting sense of relief for some reason.

"Sang Wen, why don't you stay home and keep Grandma company for a while?"

Leng Feibai stood up and said, "I'll take Duoduo out for a walk and let her enjoy the scenery of Danzhou."

After saying that, Leng Feibai pulled Haitang Duoduo and ran out together.

Outside the Fan residence, Leng Feibai and Haitang Duoduo ran out together. They didn't stop, but instead ran towards the west side of the Fan residence.

Before long, the two ran directly to the outside of a long-abandoned mansion, above which hung a plaque covered with cobwebs.

The sign above reads two large characters: "Idle House!"
"A reclusive homebody!"

Haitang Duoduo turned to look at Leng Feibai and said, "Could this be......?"

"That's right, this is my home!"

Looking at the house before him, Leng Feibai said nostalgically, "After my parents passed away, Grandma dismissed all the servants in the Leng family. Come on, let's go inside and take a look!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai used his lightness skill to leap into the courtyard.

Seeing this, Haitang Duoduo jumped in with Leng Feibai.

The inside of the house wasn't as dilapidated as the outside, probably because Old Madam Fan regularly had people come and maintain it.

The two strolled around the courtyard. Although the Leng family was not a large family, their residence was not much smaller than the old lady Fan's residence in Danzhou.

After wandering around for a while, the two returned to the front yard. Haitang Duoduo couldn't help but say, "We've been looking around for so long, but we haven't seen your family's ancestral hall yet!"

"I don't think my family has an ancestral hall!"

Leng Feibai said with a strange expression, "My grandmother said that when my grandfather settled in Danzhou, he was all alone, without any parents or brothers. After my father was born, he established several family rules, one of which was that the Leng family was not allowed to build ancestral halls or anything like that."

"Strange rules!"

Haitang Duoduo couldn't help but say, "I really don't know what your grandfather is trying to do?"

"Old people, they always have some eccentricities!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he changed his tone and asked, "Duoduo, how long do you plan to stay in Danzhou?"

"What, you're disgusted with me?"

Looking at Haitang Duoduo's appearance, Leng Feibai bit his lip and still told the truth, "Well, a few days before we left Danzhou, I received news that the emperor was on a southern tour and was going to Dadong Mountain to abolish the position of crown prince."

"what!"

Haitang Duoduo was taken aback upon hearing this, and couldn't help but ask, "Southern Tour, what do you mean?"

"That old guy lived in Danzhou for a while back then. I wonder if he'll stop by Danzhou on his way!"

Leng Feibai sighed and said, "In short, you'd better not see him..."

Before Leng Feibai could finish speaking, a knock came from the door.

The two were taken aback for a moment, and simultaneously used their lightness skills to fly away.

As soon as they landed, a powerful surge of true energy rushed towards them.

"careful!"

Leng Feibai flashed in front of Haitang Duoduo and released a three-foot-long wall of energy to block the force of the attack.

As the energy dissipated, Leng Feibai finally looked at the person in front of him.

"Young Master Leng, you've recovered quite well!"

Hong Sixiang calmly lowered his hand and said, "This old servant thought that Young Master Leng's strength had been greatly reduced, but I did not expect that he could still withstand three moves from a Grandmaster!"

Leng Feibai cursed inwardly at his unreliable clone left in Danzhou, for not even informing him of such a big news as Emperor Qing's arrival in Danzhou.

But now is not the time to blame the clone. Leng Feibai said calmly, "Since Eunuch Hong is here, His Majesty should also be in Danzhou."
