re."Didn't they say that Zong Lao Er spent too much money on his studies, and they needed to repay the debt It makes sense to ask for money after all, because it's not easy for anyone to raise a schol...Fu Shangyu, unable to hold his liquor, retired to the backyard for a rest, leaving his nephew Fu Ming to entertain the guests in his stead. He would only need to make a brief appearance when it was time to dismiss the banquet.

Yuan Xiangli's maidservant had been keeping a close eye on the actions of King Jing. As soon as he left, the maid came over and whispered a few words in her ear.

"Okay, go."

Yuan Xiangli reached out and took her daughter's hand, whispering softly in her ear.

After the King of Jing went to the back garden to sober up, I had Biyu bribe one of the maidservants in his courtyard. She'll guide you there.

After finishing her words, Yuan Xiangli secretly slipped a bag of powder into her daughter's hand.

"Where had Zong Qianyue ever done such a thing A jolt of surprise ran through him, and he almost pulled his hand back."

Yuan Xiangli pulled her back, her brow furrowed.

"Qian Yue, have you thought this through Missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the next time you want to get close to King Jing and when he's drunk again won't be easy."

"Haven't you always liked King Jing Don't you want to be Queen Jing"

After hearing her mother's words, Zong Qianyue bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before deciding to go all out.

She silently took the powdered medicine, her face red as if it were about to bleed, and turned away from the banquet hall.

Fang Jinxiu went outside to tell Zong Yu a lot of nonsense, trying to make him behave himself. She said both good and bad things to him, and it was almost like they were going to fight.

Zong Yu stubbornly stuck by her side, no matter how hard she tried to get rid of him.

Since Qi Fangxiu had no choice but to go back, she was after all Dong'er's adoptive mother. It wouldn't do for her not to be in the banquet hall.

"My lady, why are you so angry"

"People in the capital will sooner or later know about our relationship."

"Even if it were truly exposed today, what difference would it make"

Fang Jinshi stopped her steps angrily and turned back, "What will happen I'll be charged with treason!"

"I have already acknowledged my status as a widow before His Majesty. Even if you came back from the dead, I have also written the divorce decree. At most, you would be my former husband."

As soon as Zongyu heard the three words "separation letter," his face turned grim. He said in a huff,

"As for the divorce papers, they're invalid since I didn't sign them."

"You are my wife." He grabbed Fang Jinxiu's arm, pushing insolence to the extreme.

Fang Jinxiu pressed her temples, trying to alleviate the throbbing pain. After his amnesia, Zongyu had become so carefree and reckless. What if he remembered everything from before Would he be ashamed to face the person he once was

"That's enough! If you don't want me to even speak to you, just shut up and stay two meters away from me."

"If you dare disobey, I guarantee I won't say a word to you for the next year!"

Zongyu could see that his wife was serious. He felt a little wronged in his heart. It was wrong for him to cling to her, but she didn't refute even half a word when others said she was the concubine of King Jing.

Could it be that she really fell for Prince Jing

As soon as he thought of this, Zong Yu's heart felt suffocated, and he even had trouble breathing. He clamped his lips shut and didn't say another word. His eyebrows, eyes, and mouth all drooped slightly, giving him a very unhappy expression.

Fang Jinxiu immediately stopped talking upon seeing the situation.

Wasn't she a bit too harsh just now

"Ah, you are here."

Actually, she wasn't truly bothered by Zongyu's fame. She just felt it wasn't appropriate to reveal their true relationship in front of so many people right now.

And today's birthday banquet for Dong'er wasn't about giving the mother-in-law and Zong柏 a chance to finally get justice, making that scumbag of a father-in-law pay for what he did and ensuring he could never turn over a new leaf. What were they doing being so intimate with each other at the banquet

She just wanted Zong Yu to be a little less ostentatious.

"Shh!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Zong Yu's gaze suddenly shifted to the distance. He motioned for her to be silent while simultaneously pulling her close and slipping away to hide.

Fang Jinshu unconsciously struggled, thinking it was Zong Yu playing another prank.

As soon as she moved, she felt Zongyu's hand on her waist instantly tighten. The two bodies pressed together, fitting perfectly.

Zong Yu had been away from home for four years, and suddenly his behavior became so intimate that Fang Jinxiu was truly taken aback. She couldn't control the heat on her face, blushing furiously, and even felt a little dizzy.

She placed her hand on Zong Yu's solid chest.

"You."

"Don't speak, look over there."

"Is someone tracking King Jing"

Zong Yu's words were like a basin of cold water, instantly awakening Fang Jinxiu. It turned out that he had discovered that King Jing was being followed.

She still thought.

Never mind.

She mustn't let Zongyu catch on that she had just been thinking about something.

Fang Jinxiu quickly adjusted her expression and looked in the direction Zong Yu pointed. After seeing who was following King Jing, she couldn't help but frown.

"Could it be that King Jing doesn't know he's being followed even in his own residence Is he truly oblivious or is he pretending, deliberately luring the snake out"cklessly.He had never been threatened with this before. When the people saw him, they were terrified upon learning his identity. Who would dare to threaten him with the title of chancellor"How much do...
