Chapter 886 Fang Jinxiu resolutely cast aside Zong Yu's
er the two brothers left, Fang Jinshu went to the kitchen to clean up. Zong Yulian followed in, her face was gloomy, but she snatched the work from her hands."These tasks are things I'm used to doing....The gossip in the capital was spreading like wildfire, everyone was waiting to see when Minister Zong and Yuan Xiangli would finally have a falling out. Word had it that Yuan Xiangli had returned to her family home, while Minister Zong rushed to the Prime Minister's residence early in the morning.
In many teahouses, gambling dens even opened, betting on who the official would ultimately choose.
"A person so heartless and unfeeling, he couldn't choose well no matter who he picked."
"Aren't you men just idle and have nothing to do"
The women found the game distasteful, but the men were having a blast.
"You wouldn't understand this, would you On one side is your still beautiful wife, not only gentle and demure but also living in a luxurious manor."
"On one side is the daughter of a prime minister, who can bring absolute help to one's career. It's a temptation that no man could resist."
Many people wonder how Zong Da Ren will choose in the end. Don't you women find it curious
I don't believe that.
Both sides instantly erupted into a heated argument. Fang Jinshu and King Jing sat in a private room on the second floor of the teahouse, sipping tea while taking in the entire gambling scene unfolding downstairs from the window.
"Your family matters are even being made into gambling games at the teahouse."
"Interesting."
Prince Jing chuckled and sipped his tea.
Fan Jinshu also smiled and said, "Would Your Highness like to join the game"
Fu Shangyuan saw her so calm, he was a little puzzled.
"Knowing Yuan Bupi as I do, he won't let this wind blow through the capital for too long."
Fang Jinshu nodded. "I know, today Zong Pingchuan went to the Prime Minister's Mansion. My people said that Madam Yuan had gone back with him in the same carriage."
Prince Jing raised an eyebrow. "Is that all it takes to coax you"
Fang Jinxiu looked up at him, "Are you surprised, Your Highness"
"As for this stepfather of mine, he's got some guile and cunning. I'm not surprised at all."
King Jing was truly surprised. He had thought Yuan Buyu always looked down on this country bumpkin son-in-law. This Zong Pingchuan did indeed have some skills.
"Now that the Yuan family has gone back, won't your mother-in-law find it impossible to get justice"
"How is that possible"
"My mother-in-law had already sent the divorce letter to the Imperial Minister's residence."
Since Zong Pingchuan brought Yuan back, with her personality, how could she be willing to be under her mother-in-law and be content as a concubine
Just this alone, Zong Pingchuan will definitely sign the divorce papers.
King Jing patted his palms, "This king has suddenly taken an interest in the gambling downstairs."
He took out a thousand taels of silver and handed them to the attendant.
"I bet on Mu Shi, one thousand taels."
"It seems like Lady [Name] thinks that Master Zong will choose Miss Yuan. Why don't we bet on it too, using the gambling downstairs as a reference"
Fang Jinshi smiled and took out 3,000 taels without saying a word.
"Buy me a farm, I bet he won't give up on either side, in the end it'll be all for nothing."
Upon hearing this, King Jing's smile faltered for a moment before he burst into laughter.
"Your Majesty is quite fortunate now, thanks to Dong'er standing on your side all those years ago. If you had become my enemy, I would have been in a terrible predicament."
The servant took the two people's silver and went to place their bets. Fang Jinshu raised her teacup and sipped it lightly.
The Prince was telling the truth. A thousand taels of silver wasn't a big deal to him, and he had a feeling that Master Zong had kicked an iron plate this time.
This daughter-in-law of the Mu family married a real catch.
If in the future his son, Huizhi, could also marry a woman like Fang Jinshu, that would be wonderful.
It's a pity that Yuánbǎo is a boy.
He suddenly withdrew his smile, rarely serious, and asked Fang Jinshi a question.
"Mrs. Fang, if your husband returns safely, would you still plan to have another daughter"
If Fang Jinshi could give birth to another daughter, then Huaizhi's future wife would be settled!
Fu Shangyuan's topic jumped around too much, Fang Jinshu just about choked on her tea. Fortunately, she swallowed quickly.
"King Jing, you jest! I already drafted the divorce papers. Even if he returns, there will be nothing left between him and Fang Jinxiu."
When it came to Zong Yu Fang Jinxiu, his expression changed.
"Lord Jingwang, please take your time. This humble woman still has matters to attend to and cannot stay."
After the Hundred Vegetable Feast, orders for the Jinshu Mountain Villa poured in like snowflakes.
Chang He has been incredibly busy lately, and both Yu Lian and Zong Bai have stayed at the manor to help. She came into town today for two reasons: first, to gather information, and second, to buy some special fabric to make swimsuits for the whole family.
The plan to build a swimming pool has been put on the agenda by Fang Jinshui.
After buying the fabric, she also had to rush back to help.
When she had chosen the fabric, the shop owner warmly asked about how many people were in their family so she could calculate how many bolts to buy.
Fan Jinshi opened her mouth without hesitation, "Ten people's portion."
The grandmother, jade lotus Zong Bai, her grandson Yuan Bao Xiao Yue, Jin Yu autumn chrysanthemum long river, plus herself.
Fang Jinshi readily cast aside Zong Yu's reputation.must be Fang Jinxiu who's seeking revenge, it has to be her!"Officer, that Fang Jinshi is a demoness! She's the real murderer, my son is innocent! You can't take him away, please don't!"This was the f...
