ing strange about the atmosphere between her elder brother and sister-in-law. Instead of replying to her elder brother directly, she asked:"Brother, did you and sister-in-law have a fight because of t...Zongyu's face was cold, and though he called the other party "Seventh Highness," his tone wasn't respectful at all.

Fu Ming looked up, just about to retort when he was stunned by his overwhelmingly powerful gaze. His heart inexplicably pounded with a sense of unease.

After years of battlefield experience, Zong Yu's current aura is like a reborn person. Even without wearing armor, he is awe-inspiring.

Fu Shangyuan stood aside watching the commotion for quite a while. His eyes darted around Zong Yu countless times, a flicker of doubt crossing his gaze before he quickly concealed it.

Seeing his own nephew falling behind, he finally spoke up to interrupt.

"Enough, Xiao Qi. Since Zong's brother has returned, the safety of Jinshi Mountain Villa naturally doesn't need outsiders to worry about."

"Madam Fang, he is him, and you are you. Our cooperation shouldn't be affected, should it"

Fang Jinxiu shook her head and immediately drew a clear line with Zong Yu without even thinking.

"More than half a year ago, I wrote the divorce papers. I have long had no relationship with this person. Why would our business be affected by him"

"Your Highness, the Prince of Jing, has worried too much."

Then she turned her head to look at Fu Ming.

"Shen Li, please stay with me. Zhao Xingzhou is badly injured, and I truly need someone skilled in martial arts to protect me."

Hearing these words, Zong Yu frowned deeply.

Several times, Zong Bai wanted to rush out to explain for his elder brother. Mu shi pulled her son back each time and shook her head at him.

King Jing was very pleased with Fang Jinshi's answer. The old fox had a high psychological quality. Even though he was under the gloomy and intimidating gaze of the clan's reputation, Fu Shangyuan still kept his face unchanged and made an ambiguous joke with Fang Jinshi.

"Of course I believe you."

"Your Majesty inquired about our marriage again a few days ago, and I am truly uneasy with you staying here in this manor."

"Why don't we pack our things and just move back to the Jingwang Mansion"

"Once you become my officially recognized wife, no one in this capital will dare to lay a finger on you."

Fu Ming stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Fu Shangyu. Wasn't the verbal engagement between Wang Shu and Fang Jinshi a fake performance

I must say, Wang Shu's tone sounded quite sincere.

When did the two of them become so close

If this were a normal day, Fang Jinshu would have coldly refused King Jing. However, today she was unusually cooperative and nodded in agreement.

"The Lord is right, I will consider it carefully."

Jing Wang raised an eyebrow, glanced at Zong Yu with a triumphant smile, then leaned closer to Fang Jinshu's face.

"Very well, do not make this King wait too long."

As Fu Shangyu watched the crowd leave the main hall, a sharp cracking sound echoed behind them.

They spent half the day searching, only to find that Zong Yu had forcefully crushed the armrest of a nearby chair.

Three fingers-thick handrails, the middle section had become wood shavings.

Such a terrifying grip made the other servants in the manor's hearts clench. This was the husband of the young mistress, Master Jinxiu Mountain Villa

Oh my god, that's terrifying.

After seeing off the guests, Jinxiu called Xiaoyue and Yuanbao over, then returned to her own courtyard without even looking back at Zongyu. She didn't give him a glance.

Zhao Yun walked to his side with a complex expression.

"Dude, how are you feeling" He seemed very angry.

He didn't dare to say the rest.

Mrs. Mu sighed and walked to her eldest son's side.

"Jinxiu is still on cloud nine, but you really are something else. You promised Jinxiu that you'd be back after three years, so why break your word"

Even if I cannot return for now, I should send a letter back home to reassure them.

"Over the years, Jinxiu has suffered a lot and taken on too much responsibility for you."

"Even if she ignores you, it's your own fault."

"Ah Yu, even though you are my son, this time, I will not stand by your side."

"Unless you can appease Jinxiu yourself, if she insists on leaving you and marrying someone else, your mother will not stop her."

Mu finished speaking and left. Yulian was anxious, so she hurried to her elder brother's side.

"Big brother, don't listen to mother talk nonsense. You absolutely cannot divorce your sister-in-law, I don't want to lose my sister-in-law."

"I'll go persuade mother."

She closely followed Zi behind Mu's, and Zong Bo also walked to his elder brother's side when he saw this.

He is much more mature now than before, he just learned from his older brother's gesture of patting him on the shoulder and patted him back.

This time, it was really Big Brother who owed Sister-in-Law an apology first.

"I know Big Brother must also have a lot of difficulties. Although Sister-in-law hasn't been on the battlefield, what she faces in Xizhou is definitely not easier than Big Brother's."

"She should write back."ell me completely, what exactly are you thinking"Zong Yu nodded, he wanted to give his daughter-in-law one last hug, but as soon as he reached out, Fang Jinxiu flinched back.A trace of melancholy swep...
