An Zhichen has returned home; although he is still injured, the Emperor did not punish him, which proves the matter has been resolved. The Earl of Pingyang's Mansion is instantly filled with joy.
The happiest of all are the three brothers, Brother Shengsheng, Brother Feifei, and Brother Xuxu. Seeing An Zhichen return alongside Yueyao, they rush over immediately. Brother Shengsheng has become steadier during this time, while Brother Feifei is always mature beyond his years, but Brother Xuxu is different—he throws himself onto An Zhichen and joyously calls out, "Father." Though An Zhichen hasn't been back long, in the hearts of his three sons, he is like a towering mountain, making them admire him and feel at ease.
An Zhichen's whole body is somewhat stiff, but he doesn't push his sons away, merely pats Brother Xuxu's shoulder and says, "Father is fine."
