with them.Even a mosquito is flesh, after all, it's edible.When going out in the morning, Fang Jinshu specially told Zong Bai to absolutely not bring bugs back home, as they weren't hungry.Yesterday's...Fang Jinshu stepped forward, grabbed Fu Shangyuan's wrist and felt his pulse again.

"The pulse has become much steadier."

"This time, the person who poisoned the Prince, the poison used was very strong, but it left you a lifeline."

"I think he didn't really want your life, or else he would have just used a more direct poison that kills instantly."

After waking up, Prince Jing's brain whirred incessantly. Even during the banquet, he had vaguely felt something was amiss with his body, and then the excuse of being drunk led him back to the courtyard.

Actually, he wasn't completely unprepared. At least the poisoner and the stalker, if nothing went wrong, should have already been caught by his guards.

This matter involves many people. Fu Shangyuan glanced at the crowd in the room.

The entire Mu family is still here, big and small, male and female, all staring at him with wide eyes.

Even if Fu Shangyuan had the thickest skin and was the most composed, he still felt a bit awkward.

"Ahem, this, this matter this King has already figured out in his heart."

“You don't need to worry about catching the person who poisoned me. How did Zong Bo’s matter resolve today”

Zong Bai stepped forward and bowed to King Jing, "Many thanks for your help, Your Majesty. That person is now imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."

"That's good then. Yuan Buyu lost Zong Pingchuan, that informant, so things should be quieter for him for a while," Fu Shangyuan nodded.

In a few days, the army returning to the capital will arrive.

He turned his gaze as if searching among them, finally settling on Zong Yu.

"General Zong, prepare yourself."

After returning from the Jingwang Mansion, everyone was still puzzled.

Yu Lian couldn't help but discuss it with her second brother on the carriage.

"Second Brother, what do you mean by the Prince of Jing telling Big Brother to get ready"

"Could it be that you're preparing for a promotion"

>

Given his military achievements,

Big Brother would definitely receive a reward from His Majesty, and it wouldn't be a small one.

Then, Jadelian uttered a sentence that was the most eye-opening thing Zongbo had ever seen her say in all his life.

But didn't everyone already know in their hearts that Big Brother would be bestowed a title

"Even though Prince Jing is poisoned and so weak, would he still remind us of something so obvious at this time"

Zong Bai was taken aback. "You're right," he said, "My sister makes a lot of sense. I never thought of that."

When he got back to the manor, it was already late. Zong Bai's carriage was at the very end, and when he got out of the carriage to find his elder brother and sister-in-law to remind them about this, he found that the door was empty.

"Where is everyone Where's big brother and sister-in-law" he asked Chang He.

Chang He pointed inside. “Madam got off the carriage and went straight back to her courtyard. Master followed closely behind Madam, both of them walking very quickly.”

Zong Bai frowned, thinking about whether he should chase after her to explain things. Otherwise, he always felt uneasy in his heart.

But Mu stopped him.

It's getting late, your sister-in-law is exhausted today, her face doesn't look good at all. Let's talk about everything tomorrow.

And besides, wasn't it Wangye who said that for the next while, the Prime Minister's Mansion wouldn't bother them With so much happening at home recently, Mrs. Mu simply couldn't keep up anymore.

Zong Bai saw his mother's face was not good either, and he couldn't help but regret that he wasn't calm enough in doing things. He was too hasty and impatient.

Neither did he consider the condition of his family.

His sister-in-law and the whole family have been worrying and planning for his sake all this time. Now that things are finally settling down, everyone must be very tired.

He really shouldn't disturb her at this time.

Well, he can verify this himself. He said he wanted to be independent, but he still unconsciously goes to his sister-in-law for everything.

Zone Bai stepped forward and supported Mu Shi.

"Mom's right, it's not a big deal. Big brother just came back, he needs time to spend with his sister-in-law and clear up any misunderstandings."

"I truly shouldn't bother you again."

"Let me help you back to rest. I'll take care of everything around the house for the next few days. You and your sister-in-law should both take a break."

Mu smiled and nodded, sighing that Zong Bai had grown up too. Time really flies by.

Fang Jinshu ran so fast because as soon as she thought about what happened in Dong'er's courtyard, she didn't know how to face Zongyu, so she could only hide.

Xiaoyue didn't go with them today. When she saw her mistress return, she thought the mistress would at least tell her about what happened today.

The result was that Madam only glanced at her briefly before scurrying into the house and slamming the door shut, as if fleeing from a plague.

Then she saw the grandfather appear in the yard and instantly understood everything.

"Sir, Madam has been very tired today and needs to rest." As the young mistress's attentive assistant, she naturally had to stop her grandfather.

Zongyu gave Xiaoyue a cold look. At that moment, Xiaoyue stiffened all over. From the soles of her feet to the top of her head, she felt like she was being frozen by ice. It was terrifying.

Although the old man before wasn't very expressive, he didn't smile much and rarely spoke, his eyes had never been this frightening.

Xiaoyue stopped him from seeing Fang Jinshu, which indeed made Zongyu very unhappy.

This maid right here is someone Jinxiu values very much. If anything were to happen to her, Jinxiu would definitely be angry.

Thinking about this, Zongyu shifted his gaze away.

"Take good care of her."

He left a sentence and turned to leave.

Xiao Yue let out a sigh of relief, and at the same time, she felt her legs go weak. It took her a while to recover before she returned to Fang Jinxiu's room.

"Has Ayou gone" Fang Jinshi asked.

Xiao Yue nodded, still looking frightened.

"Little Yue, why are there so many beads of sweat on your face Was it A Yu who frightened you just now"

Fang Jinshu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, Xiao Yue hurriedly waved her hand.

"No, master didn't threaten me."

"That's all."

"What is it"

Xiaoyue hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself. As a maidservant, her first principle was never to overstep her boundaries and interfere with her master's affairs.

But Miss Li was different from the other mistresses. After some thought, Xiaoyue decided to voice her opinion.

"Before, Mistress said that Master was different from before, and I can feel it too."

Fang Jinxiu was taken aback. She hadn't expected Xiaoyue's answer to be like this.

"What's different about this method"

She wondered what Zongyu's reputation was like in Xiaoyueyan now, if she had overthought things.

The old man used to seem cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

"The current grandmaster, looks unfathomable."

Before, those few maids could still guess his meaning through the master's words and deeds. Now, even looking at him would cause them to feel frightened.

No one knows what the old man is thinking right now.

Xiaoyue seemed to understand why the mistress had always been reluctant to accept the master directly. Although she still had feelings for him, she never opened her mouth.

She thought, the mistress must be worried that the current master's heart no longer held the same affection for her as it used to. Now everything she did was probably for other reasons.

Someone who has lost their memory, clearly doesn't remember you, but when they come back, they are very attentive to you. Anyone would find it unbelievable, rightof the courtyard and watched for a long time, but only saw Zong Bai come back alone.She looked back at him in astonishment."Second brother, how come you're the only one back Where's big brother"Zong B...
