Duke Changping's Mansion

Shangguan Nanyi was currently in the dining room accompanying his mother Madam Shen for dinner. Shangguan Beiyi came over in a hurry, and the moment he entered the room, he heard his excited voice, "Mother, Big Brother, the Fantasy Heart Stone has finally lit up."

Hearing that the Fantasy Heart Stone was glowing, the white-clothed Shangguan Nanyi put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands. "Is this true?"

"Of course it's real. It's just that the light is a little weak, but we can already confirm that the Soul Absorbing Orb is in the Quanzhou and it's not too far away from us."

"That's great, after so many years, we finally have news about the Soul Absorbing Orb."

Shangguan Nanyi was truly happy, the joy in his eyes was obvious.

Hearing the Fantasy Heart Stone light up, Madam Shen did not get excited like the two brothers, but instead shook his head. After all these years, this child was still as persistent as ever.

"Let's talk about this later, eat first, the food will become cold later, Bei Yi, you sit down and eat too."

After that, the Madam Shen ordered the servant girl to get a set of utensils.

Shangguan Nanyi was all focused on this matter and he was no longer in the mood to eat. He continued to ask, "When did the Fantasy Heart Stone start to shine?"

Today, I also went to the warehouse to retrieve something and accidentally saw it emitting light. A few days ago, I went to the warehouse too, and at that time, the Fantasy Heart Stone was still not glowing. It should have been in the past few days.

Although the Fantasy Heart Stone was shining, with such a large Quanzhou, there were a lot of people entering and exiting every day. It would be difficult to find it even if they wanted to, so it was impossible to determine where the Soul Absorbing Orb was.

"Alright, let's eat first."

Seeing that the two of them were preoccupied with this matter, Madam Shen's expression became solemn, and his tone became even more serious.

Shangguan Beiyi immediately forced a smile and coaxed her, "Okay, okay, I will listen to mother. Brother, let's eat first, we can talk about this later."

Shangguan Nanyi lost all appetite, he only ate a few bites, and did not touch the chopsticks again.

Seeing this, Madam Shen did not have the mind to continue eating, "Nanyi, so many people in the world wanted to obtain the Soul Absorbing Orb, this thing is a scourge, I'm afraid it will bring about disasters to the Duke Changping's Mansion, from what I see, the Fantasy Heart Stone should be thrown away, it is useless for us to keep it."

"Mother, there are only three Fantasy Heart Stone in the world. One of them is in our hands, while the other one is in Big Brother's hands." Mother, there are only three Fantasy Heart Stone in the world, and we have one in our hands.

Shangguan Beiyi explained while grinning.

Madam Shen glared at Shangguan Beiyi, "You talk too much."

"Ahem, I didn't say anything."

Shangguan Beiyi continued to eat with his head lowered.

"Mother, the Soul Absorbing Orb is related to the Grand Princess. We must find the Soul Absorbing Orb."

"The Eldest Princess has already been dead for ten years, why do you have to keep it in your heart?"

"With Soul Absorbing Orb here, I believe the First Princess is still alive."

Shangguan Nanyi's tone was stubborn. In these ten years, he had never given up searching for the location of the Soul Absorbing Orb. How could he not be excited when he found the news of the Soul Absorbing Orb with great difficulty.

The Madam Shen let out a heavy sigh, "Nanyi, you are now a Marquis of Changping, so the honor and disgrace of the House of the Marquis is all on you. You should take the House of the Marquis as your first priority.

Moon Kingdom is already dead, and the Grand Princess has also been dead for ten years. Even if she's still alive, she hasn't shown her face for the past ten years.

"Mother was familiar with the First Princess, and knew that she was not that kind of person, if she did not appear, she would definitely have her reasons for doing so, even if Moon Kingdom no longer exists, our bones would still be filled with the blood of Moon Kingdom. Mother, rest assured, your son knows his limits, and will definitely not put Duke Changping's Mansion in danger, for other matters, mother, please do not stop him."

The Madam Shen was clearly unhappy that he did not speak, but he could not do anything to Shangguan Nanyi.

She remembered something else and asked, "Nanyi, Prince Regent came to Quanzhou and the empress dowager and Yang An both wrote a letter to you. How do you plan to handle this matter?"

"Right, right. Right now, the most important matter is this matter." Shangguan Beiyi immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks and interjected, "Brother, we don't care about the situation in the capital. I think we should listen to the empress dowager, otherwise, we would offend two people at once.

"Xiao Feimo hasn't come to find us yet. Let's see what he wants to do first."

"Nanyi, I know that you resent Prince Regent, but this matter has already passed ten years, and you must not learn from Yi Shuihan. Everything is for the best, and I have lived to this age, so I don't dare ask for anything else but for my Duke Changping's Mansion to be safe, and for me to have the face to meet your father once we go to the underworld."

"Your son understands. Mother, don't worry."

Shangguan Nanyi respectfully replied.

"It's good that you understand. You can be confused about other things, but don't be confused about this matter."

"Mother, big brother isn't an impulsive person. He knows what he's doing, so don't worry about him."

Shangguan Beiyi kept talking to Shangguan Nanyi. The two brothers had a good relationship with him.

When he thought about Xiao Feimo coming to the Quanzhou, Shangguan Nanyi's expression darkened even more. All of the memories he had buried deep in his heart were brought out.

On the second day, Xiao Feimo brought Feng Qingying to Duke Changping's Mansion, and Shangguan Nanyi led the entire house to welcome him at the door. When they saw Xiao Feimo, everyone kneeled down and saluted.

Standing at the very front of the group was Madam Shen. Xiao Feimo helped her up, "Old madam, there is no need to be so courteous, please stand up!"

Madam Shen stood up, and Shangguan Nanyi and Shangguan Nanyi stood up together.

When Shangguan Nanyi noticed Feng Qingying, who was standing beside him, he was slightly stunned. It was really a pity that the woman he had coincidentally bumped into was actually Xiao Feimo's wangfei.

Xiao Feimo entered the manor after exchanging a few words of greeting with Madam Shen and Shangguan Nanyi. Feng Qingying recognized Shangguan Nanyi as well, and shifted his gaze away after a single glance, not a single ripple in his heart.

The Madam Shen sat on the main seat, it was a very easy topic to talk about, and cordially talked with Xiao Feimo about other things. Xiao Feimo was rather respectful to the Madam Shen, but Shangguan Beiyi, who was at the side, could not sit still any longer, so after sitting for a while, he found an excuse to slip away.

Feng Qingying did not say much, she only smiled and accompanied them. Since she did not recognize any of them, she was too lazy to say anything.

Shangguan Nanyi sat right in front of her, and had to admit that he had an extremely high appearance. His black hair was tied up with a jade crown, and was not messy at all.

It could not help but make people think of a saying, "A gentleman has no equal in the world, he may as well be a stranger."

After sitting for a while, the old lady returned first. Shangguan Nanyi ordered the female servant to bring Feng Qingying to rest, he then followed Xiao Feimo into the inner room and ordered the servants to bring a Go board for him.

The two of them sat cross-legged in front of the chess board. Shangguan Nanyi held Bai Zi in his hand and gave a courteous smile, "I heard that Your Highness is an expert in chess and has never had the chance to play chess with Your Highness. This is a rare opportunity for Your Highness to come to my house and spar with me."

"This king has always been looking forward to the opportunity to have a good game of chess with Master Hou. Finally, I have a chance."

After saying that, Xiao Feimo fell. The two of them didn't speak anymore and continued to play chess in peace.
