Chapter 859: Gong Yu Turns Out to Be an Imperial Official

our family, I snuck food to you behind my parents' backs, and now you betray me!”"You, woman, have no heart! I like Ah Zhu and Ah Gou, and I wouldn't like you."Tie Zhu was truly furious this time. Not...The man was taken aback and lowered his head to glance at his drenched shirt. It was indeed a bit embarrassing.

"It's not a good idea to go back like this."

“My name is Gong Yu, so I shall trouble you, madam.”

Palace Elm was inwardly astonished when the woman before him claimed to be his child's grandmother.

The other party doesn't look much older than her, does she She's already a grandmother of two kids

Mu Shi opened the invitation, inviting Gong Yu to return to the mountain villa together. For some reason, her heart felt a strange shyness.

She rarely had contact with men outside her circle, and this was the first time she had proactively brought a stranger home.

When Dang Fangjin saw the three people's soaked clothes, in Palace Yu’s smooth explanation, and her grandmother’s flushed cheeks, she shifted her gaze back and forth.

It seems I've caught a whiff of something, a little different.

"So that's how it is, I'm truly grateful to Big Brother Gong. If you hadn't shown up in time, my two little monkeys would have been in trouble."

The moment Fang Jinxiu heard the child fall into the water, her heart clenched painfully, and her brow furrowed.

Mu stood up and took responsibility for their mistakes.

"Jinxiu, it's all my fault. If I had watched the children more closely."

Fan Jinshi knew this wasn't her mother-in-law's fault. Yuanbao, that boy, whenever she couldn't see him, he was impossible to manage. He was very mischievous.

It often takes both Xiaoyue and Jinyu working together to catch him.

My mother-in-law is not as young as she used to be, she wouldn't be able to tell the difference between these reasons.

This time, before Fang Jinshi could speak, Gong Yu on the opposite side took the initiative to defend the Mu family.

"No, that's not how it was. At the time, the wife had intended to jump in herself to save the child."

“I don’t think she’s a strong swimmer. If she jumped in, even if the child was rescued, she would die.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Jinshu was first taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She then turned to look at Mu Shi.

"Mother, how could you jump into the water yourself!"

My goodness, she couldn't even imagine what would have happened if Gong Yu hadn't shown up. Today, there was a high possibility that three people in their family would have drowned.

Fang Jinshu was no longer just afraid; she silently planned to build a swimming pool at the manor, ensuring that everyone in the family, young and old, would learn to swim. This way, they could avoid such dangers in the future.

This made her realize how timely Palace Elm's appearance was, and her expression became more serious than before.

"Big Brother Gong, I'm truly grateful for your timely help. My mother-in-law and my two children are safe thanks to you."

Fu Shangyuan heard the news that Dong'er was in danger and rushed over. He pulled Dong'er in front of him and looked her up and down.

"Huai! Are you alright"

Dong'er nodded obediently.

"Father, son is fine."

"Let Father worry."

"It was this gentleman who saved me, my brother, and our grandmother."

After Fu Shangyuan turned around, Gong Yu saw his face suddenly change drastically and hurriedly knelt down.

"The humble servant pays respects to His Royal Highness, King Jing."

Jing Wang was taken aback, half a breath before he recognized Gong Yu.

"It's Palace Master then."

Gong Yu is actually an official from the Imperial Court.

"This isn't the palace, Your Excellency needn't be so formal. Please rise."

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty owes me a favor. Thank you for saving my child."

Gong Yu was taken aback. She glanced at Fang Jinshi, then at the two children.

Their expressions were stunned with shock.

Fang Jinshu immediately realized that the person had misunderstood her relationship with King Jing. Gong Yu even thought she was out of touch, wondering when King Jing had secretly married another woman and had a child so grown up.

He was just about to kneel down and pay respects to Fang Jinshu when she stopped him in time.

"Palace Master, that's not possible."

“My relationship with His Royal Highness, King Jing, is not what you think.”

"I am only the foster mother of the young master, not someone from the Prince's Manor."

Palace Elm suddenly realized, so that's how it was.

"It seems to have been a misunderstanding. I apologize for my rudeness."

"Palace Master, I have had the servants prepare clean clothes. Perhaps it would be best to go inside first and change out of your wet garments"

Gong Yu looked at himself, and once again wore an expression of panic.

"This lowly official has been disrespectful. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Fu Shangyuan was afraid his son would catch a cold, so he had already taken one child's hand and was about to turn back to change his clothes.

"Go ahead, Your Grace. This king doesn't have so many rules here."

And then he left.

Mu also went back with Xiaoyue to change clothes.

Fortunately, today's events went smoothly. Fang Jinxiu instructed Chang He and the steward to set up the tables and chairs for dinner.

Today I had a silverfish hot pot, the pot itself was taken out by Fang Jinshi from her spatial storage.

Their family often eats hot pot at Jinxiu Mountain Villa in Yěshān, but with a large family, eating separately wasn't lively enough, and gathering together wasn't spacious enough for one big pot.

So she specially commissioned several large pots, each capable of accommodating around twenty people dining at the same time.

Just pour all the cooked ingredients in, build a fire underneath, set up tables around it, and everyone can gather around the pot for a feast.

The steward of the mansion was truly astonished at this way of eating. He was quite taken aback for a moment.

The Chang He seemed to have found its place, and unlike its previous uncertain demeanor, was constantly introducing how to arrange and use this pot. stammered and couldn't speak."Wang, Village Head Wang told me that there is no grain ration for your clan."Zongping Kang was already angry, suspecting these people looked down on him and deliberately...
