Especially knowing to give Aunt extra face, this part was done exceptionally well.

Mrs. Fang held the jade bottle as if it were a treasured possession, her face beaming with a radiant smile.

Fang Zhenghang reminded his wife, "Don’t forget, eating it might give you diarrhea..."

Mrs. Fang retorted angrily, "Don’t worry, it won’t end up in your bed!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Fang Qingyun coughed from behind.

Fang Che quickly greeted with a smile, "Cousin is back too, have you brought all my cousin-in-laws with you?"

"..."

Fang Qingyun’s face turned green, hastily winking desperately, and said angrily, "What cousin-in-laws?"

Fang Zhenghang had already turned with a glare, frowning at his son.

Just now, it seemed like he heard something unbelievable? Cousin-in-laws? Several?

Only to hear Fang Che say, "That Zhao Xiangxiang, Qian Xiuxiu, Sun Xiao’e, Li Meili, Zhou Xiaoxiao, Wu Chengcheng... weren’t you always hanging out with them? You treat them to meals in large groups every day? Every time I went to find you for cultivation, you said you were busy. Don’t deny it, I have witnesses!"

Fang Qingyun almost wet himself, his face turned ashen: "Cousin, cousin, please spare my life. I’ve already been beaten once, just now!"

"Oh oh, I forgot uncle was nearby..."

Fang Che earnestly said to Fang Zhenghang, "Uncle, don’t be angry, I said it on purpose just now to tease him. My cousin is well-behaved at the Martial Arts Academy, always alone, dedicated to cultivation. Everyone calls him a lone ranger."

Fang Zhenghang’s face turned even darker.

At first, he was half-believing, but these words directly confirmed it.

Doesn’t he know his own son’s character? He’s someone who can’t stand seeing others suffer. How could he possibly be alone?

It wouldn’t happen even if the sky fell!

He shot a fierce look at Fang Qingyun, giving a ’I will deal with you later’ glance.

Fang Qingyun felt a chill go through him, suddenly furious, he lunged forward, grabbed Fang Che’s neck tightly, "Little brat, I’m going to kill you!"

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Fang Che, unable to resist, hurriedly called Ye Meng, "Ye Meng, come quickly, kowtow to mother and uncle..."

Fang Zhenghang was furious, shouting, "Let go of your cousin! As a cousin, you have no sense at all, what if you hurt him..."

He stopped short at these words, "What?"

Fang Che, being strangled, stuck out his tongue and struggled, "I’m married to Ye Meng... cough, by a stroke of luck, and then we were on missions together, so I brought her back for you all to see... Cousin’s going to kill me, uncle..."

With a slap.

Fang Zhenghang slapped Fang Qingyun on the back of his head, "Let go! Can’t you see your cousin can’t breathe?!"

Fang Qingyun staggered at the slap, full of grievance.

He’s already a Martial King, and I’m just a first-grade Martial Marshal, even if I die from exhaustion, I can’t strangle him, father is really biased to the extreme...

Over there, Fang Zhenghang and Fang Qianyi looked at Ye Meng with faces full of surprise and joy.

Ye Meng, looking nervous and ingratiating, stepped forward to salute.

Fang Qianyi grabbed Ye Meng’s hand with affection and a reproachful look at Fang Che, "Ye Meng, it’s so good, from the first glance I felt you’re one of us, and now, indeed... Haha, it’s all Fang Che’s fault, this little rascal, such a big matter, didn’t say anything, we should have organized it at home, poor you..."

Fang Zhenghang stroked his beard and laughed, "Hahaha, now it’s a double blessing."

Ye Meng timidly called out "mother" and "uncle," and was embraced by Fang Qianyi, "Good child, it’s windy outside, let’s go inside. I have a meeting gift for you, what his father gave me, I’ve kept it at the bottom of my trunk..."

She hugged Ye Meng and walked inside.

Then everyone followed her inside.

Fang Qingyun and Fang Che walked together, complaining as they went, "Look at you, you’re so strong now, every time you come back you make trouble for me, I don’t care, you better clarify it for me later."

"Clarifying wouldn’t be fun."

Fang Che calmly said, "Cousin, the best enjoyment for me when I return home is watching you get beaten, it’s my greatest pleasure."

"You!"

Fang Qingyun was so frustrated he couldn’t speak, angrily saying, "Me getting beaten up, what good does it do you?!"

"No good."

Fang Che said righteously, "But watching others have bad luck makes me feel good inside."

"..."

Fang Zhenghang was outside giving orders, "Go, today’s a big happy event, give a bit of candy to the visiting elders and villagers, let them take it home to make the kids happy; also, open the warehouse, for every poor household registered in our city, distribute fifty kilograms of flour, one kilogram of meat, one kilogram of oil, two kilograms of salt. Also, set up a feast outside the mansion, for ten days, whoever comes to eat won’t have to pay, serving day and night."

"Then send gifts to the Guardian Hall and the City Guardian Mansion, also to the patrolling military camps and Guardians, each person gets a gift as per the usual practice." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Everyone in the house will receive an extra month’s stipend."

"To the public, say that Young Master Fang Che is back, spreading benefits for everyone, communal joy. Also, for three days, we’ll shut our doors to visitors. Our family will reunite quietly for a few days, and if there’s anything, it will be discussed after three days. We hope everyone understands."

"Additionally, families within the mansion, take care of yourselves, don’t go idly to disturb Fang Che and his mother, don’t let our own people become an annoyance."

"Children are not allowed to go over either, don’t use the excuse of their ignorance. Fang Che and his mother’s reunion is the happiest moment, don’t ruin it."

"Tonight’s family banquet will be in the main hall; a joyful gathering of the family. Other tables may come to toast, but only one representative can come."
