Chapter 1024: So busy indeed

any What are you doing here with me every day"He really couldn't understand what his older brother was up to.Doesn't he like his sister-in-law very much Even he can see that.Zong Yu gazed downward, le...Mu shi thought Fang Jinxiu had understood. It wasn't that she didn't want to find good families for Jin Yu and the others; in reality, after Mu shi arrived in the capital, she was idle every day. She even got tired of embroidering every day. She couldn't spend her entire day embroidering from morning till night, could she

Even Jinxiu didn't let her fiddle with it for too long, saying it hurt the eyes.

When she had nothing to do, Mu would chat with the people on the estate, and sometimes she would go for a stroll in the nearby villages, asking around if there were any eligible young men.

Little Yue and Qiuju are not young anymore. Back in their day, Zongyu could run all over the place.

These two girls blush and find excuses to avoid her whenever they hear the words "marriage". Once, Qiujing knelt before her with tears in her eyes, making her think she wanted to use the wedding as an excuse to get rid of her.

After that, the Mu family never dared to bring up marriage again.

Now that Jinxiu and Zhao Xiaojiang are engaged, Mu Shi couldn't help but worry again.

“After going through so much, I've finally realized that the most important thing for a woman when getting married is finding a man who can live a stable life with her.”

"Being a good person, treating you well, and having a normal family is enough."

Everything else is just talk.

Mu Shi's entire life had only one husband, Zong Pingchuan. She gave birth to children, raised a family and managed the household. In the end, she was the one who was driven out of the house.

So she felt it was also necessary to see what the man's family was like. If they were anything like Old Madam Zong, then she really couldn't marry him.

"Understood, Mother. I've been with Jin Yu for so long, could I possibly push her into a fire pit"

"Xiaoyue and Qiujing are the same. As long as they have someone they like, I'll definitely help them keep an eye on things."

Two young women blushed and lowered their heads when Fang Jinshu teased them, saying that at their age, they should be thinking about getting married.

Xiao Yue had made up her mind to stay by Fang Jinxiu's side for life, serving and helping raise the young Master Yuanbao.

"I would rather not marry. I wish to stay by the side of Madam and Young Master Yuanbao, serving them for my whole life."

Mu glared at her, “Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about A woman must get married.”

Xiaoyue smiled, of course she didn't dare to talk back to the old lady, and she also knew that the old lady's intention was for her own good.

Fang Jinshi was very open-minded. If Xiaoyue didn't want to get married, she wouldn't force her, of course.

I can only stand up and change the subject.

"By the way, where's Yuanbao"

Fang Jinxiu only realized this later, she seemed to have not seen her son for two days.

Where did this kid run off to again

"

Zongyu, who had been silent and acting as a background board all this time, finally spoke.

"

"Someone from the Jing Wangfu came to take her away."

Fang Jinshi frowned, "Isn't Prince Jing still harboring resentment How could Dong'er still have the heart to take Yuanbao out to play"

"That boy is quite a handful, he's probably going to disturb King Jing while he's recuperating."

"Zong Yu shook his head. 'It wasn't the Crown Prince who summoned him, but Yuan Bao himself who wrote a letter to the Crown Prince, asking him to send someone to pick him up.' "

He knows you won't let him go.

Fang Jinshu was stunned for a moment before reacting, somewhat speechless.

This kid, only four years old, has so many ideas.

And who delivered the letter to him

Fang Jinxiu asked, and the Mu family and maidservants all shook their heads. Even Chang He said he didn't know either; no one had sent a message to Young Master Yuan Bao on behalf of Jingwangfu.

A hint of a smile played on Zongyu's lips. Talking about this, he had to admit, he was rather impressed with the kid.

"It's a basket sent to the Jing Wangfu for delivering vegetables, and it has a note written on it."

And he had long since colluded with the crown prince to establish a secret code.

At four years old, he already had such a plan; he was a promising student of military strategy.

Ever since he noticed his son's little mannerisms, Zong Yu had been planning in his mind to take Yuan Bao to the military camp for training. The only problem was that this plan would most likely require persuading his wife to agree.

The family spoils that little wretch so much, he's afraid Jinxiu won't bear to part with him.

When Zongyu spoke, the whole family was stunned.

This kid, he actually learned how to act sly and evasive.

"The treasure didn't go anywhere else, you have nothing to worry about in the Jing Wangfu."

"Jinxiu, don't be angry."

"We also forgot to tell you about this."

The day before yesterday, the couple had a quarrel. Who dared to tell her about Yuánbǎo running away to Jìngwángfǔ

Mu said this because she was afraid that Jinxiu would be angry and Yuanbao's little butt would get beaten again.

"Mother, you mustn't always protect that boy. I told him before, with the Lord currently unwell, Dong'er has to both focus on his studies and take care of the Lord. He simply doesn't have time to play with him."

"This kid is out there causing trouble for others."

Yuanbao was raised by these women in the family, each of them loved him dearly. Hearing Fang Jinshu's angry tone, Xiaoyue also hurried out to speak.

"Madam, if you're truly worried, perhaps I could go to the Jing Wangfu tomorrow and see if young master has caused any trouble."

"If he is restless, I shall remain in the palace to watch him."

"If Young Master is well-behaved, then please don't be angry with him."

"Young Master Yuanbao is still young, and he has grown up with the Crown Prince since childhood. It's definitely not easy for him to be separated suddenly. Please be more understanding of the young master."

Fang Jinshu was about to laugh. She thought Xiaoyue would say that she would bring the boy back if he didn't listen.

Does she still have to stay in the palace to take care of him

She glared at Xiaoyue’s head, “You spoil him the most. This kid will be uncontrollable sooner or later.”

Except for her, that boy is fearless.

At this time, Zong Yu stood up. He first placed his hand on Fang Jinyu's waist, pulling her into his arms, and then said in a low voice.

"No."

Fang Jinshu was surprised and looked up. Zong Yu explained.

"From now on, I'll take care of him."

Since Yuánbǎo was born, his father has never fulfilled his responsibilities nor spent quality time with his son. Yúnxiù has been the one worrying about all of Yuánbǎo's big and small matters from childhood to adulthood.

The evening breeze tousled Fang Jinshu's hair, sending strands across her cheeks.

With a gentle hand, Zongyu lifted her hair and tucked it behind her ear. He said,

"From now on, with me around, you don't have to worry about your son anymore."

He will not become a lawless child.

Hearing this, Fang Jinshu's eyes suddenly welled up. She had waited for four years, and it seemed like she was waiting for this very sentence.

Whatever happens, face it both good and bad.

She is no longer fighting a lone battle, constantly on edge dealing with every little thing at home.

At that moment, Fang Jinshi suddenly felt her whole body relax. She smiled through tears and nodded, leaning against Zong Yu's chest naturally.

The Mus family quietly left with two maids and others, leaving the pavilion to the young couple to talk.

Looking at her son and daughter-in-law, who resembled each other so well, a big stone in her heart finally fell. That night, she slept much more soundly.

Zongyu was indeed a man of action. The next morning, news arrived at Jingwangfu that Yuanbao had been taken away by him.

Fang Jinxiu originally wanted to ask that person where Yuanbao was taken by Zong Yu. Later, she thought that he was her son's father, and she still had to trust him in this matter. After all, it was her own biological son, could Zong Yu abuse Yuanbao

Last night, she asked Zongyu to move back to her courtyard. The couple chatted a lot at night, and he also said that he might be busy for the next few days.

So early in the morning, she woke up and saw that there was only residual warmth on the bed but no one. She didn't think much of it; as an official, she had to go to court. Only after she reacted did Fang Jinshu get up and eat and drink, feeling very good.

When she was in a good mood, she didn't want to idle around. The mapo tofu seasoning she made yesterday turned out quite well. She planned to take the recipe to the restaurant today and give it to the head chef to try making it too.

After that, I'll go to the Marquis Wu Ding's mansion for a stroll and get whatever needs to be purchased. In the afternoon, I'll also have to make a trip to the dental shop.

It's so busy.ing on just these few people, who knows when they'll be able to find Zongyu. 。Tiezhu, who had been dragged along by Zhao Rufang all this time, finally broke free from his mother's grasp and stepped f...
