ia Mo might be a bit monotonous, I've asked the kitchen to make you some nourishing congee as well, along with a few refreshing side dishes."Fāng Jǐnxiù nodded. Zhào Xīngzhōu called a servant and inst...Zong Pingchuan had just left Jinshi Mountain Villa, and the next second, Yuan Buyu received the news from there.

He sneered and waved his hand, dismissing the messenger.

"He's got guts."

Yuan Bubu's trusted aide beside him grumbled, “My lord, the young master’s actions are completely disregarding our esteemed family.”

He let you down after so many years of your nurturing and promotion.

Yuan Buyu smiled, "It's nothing special."

"It's just a scapegoat."

"Nothing to worry about, even if he goes to report the news, that Fang girl might not believe him anyway."

"Look at all the terrible things he's done in the past. He won't even spare the bowl while eating from the pot, his vision is so short-sighted."

The old man said, "A married man who has been betrothed to the daughter of a prime minister is still not content and remembers his rough country wife."

That country woman, how could she compare to the jewel in Master Xiang's palm

Yuan Buyu sighed and looked very troubled.

Speaking of Li'er, who would have thought I'd have such a daughter She just has to go for Zongpingchuan's type, falling for this little white face.

"Fine, since it's Li'er's favorite, let him live for now."

The loyal follower bowed his head in agreement, and Yuan Buyu waved his hand.

Let them have a go.

"Your Majesty has already set off to pay respects at the ancestral temple today. Before the army returns to the capital, he will not return."

That person nodded, then vanished into the darkness.

After Zong Pingchuan left, Jinxiu kept thinking about his words. She had long suspected that Yuan Buyu would make a move against them, but she hadn't found any clues until now.

She believed that the best way to defend herself was to remain constantly in the public eye of the capital's citizens. After all, she was a former minister, could she possibly publicly retaliate against them in front of everyone

But Zong Pingchuan's sudden appearance today made the alarm bells in her head ring wildly.

Perhaps her way of defending herself against his advances is also the best reason for him to clear himself!

That's it! That's the one!

Fang Jinshi's face changed drastically, she suddenly got up and ran outside the courtyard.

"Zhao Xingzhou! Zhao Xingzhou!"

"Little Moon, Chang He, you guys quickly call everyone in your family over."

"Also, send a messenger to Prince Jing immediately and ask him to bring his men to the villa at once. I have important matters to discuss with him."

"Also, within the palace, find a way to contact Seventh Highness."

Damn it, last time Fu Ming didn't say he was going to borrow Shen Li from me for a few days

At that time, how could she have gotten so angry and forgotten about it, not bringing the person back

Fang Jinxiu's expression, as if facing a formidable enemy, made Chang He and the others feel uneasy. Although they were unsure what was going to happen, they immediately obeyed her orders and called for the servants.

Zhao Xingzhou also hurried over from Yuan Bao's courtyard.

"What happened"

Even at a crucial moment of life and death, Fang Jinshui didn't want to be overly emotional with him.

"Yuan Buyu is going to deal with us."

Although I don't know why he suddenly decided to make a move, we don't have much time left. We need to prepare.

She took out the trap design she had drawn beforehand. Fang Jinshu wasn't completely unprepared during this time, after all, facing such a powerful enemy meant that not having any preparation was equivalent to sitting there waiting to die.

"Is this a trap"

Fang Jinshi nodded, "Yes, you set up these traps on the estate according to the distribution in the diagram."

"There is also an escape tunnel in Jinxiu Mountain Villa. I have stored enough food and water inside."

She even thought, though it was just a guess, that Yuan Buyu might set fire to the entire manor.

"Zhao Xingzhou, from the moment you came back with me, you had no choice."

"Even if you want to leave now, I won't let you go."

“The only promise I can make to you is that I will protect Yun Ni like I would Jade Lotus, provided we can survive this calamity.”

Zhao Xingzhou's expression became extremely serious.

You don't have to say these things to me. Even without Fifth Sister, I wouldn't leave.

"Rest assured, I will never allow these people to set foot in the manor, unless I die."

Fang Jinxiu quickly shoved the drawing into his hands, her expression remaining utterly unchanged. She still had a lot of preparations to make before anything else, so she only hastily tossed out a sentence.

"What's there to be worried about, this is what you owe me."

Zhao Xingzhou lowered his head and smiled. She said this was something she owed him, so, was she willing to let him repay her Although Fang Jinshu only spoke a few words, he could imagine the danger in them."You're telling me all this today, don't you want to get revenge for Xiaoqi"Fāng Jǐnxiù shook her head.That was Fu Min...
