Chapter 953: Got Lost After Visiting the Gong House

htly. Hearing the old woman agree, he felt uncomfortable instead. He pulled her over and scolded her angrily."Who authorized you to make your own decisions and agree to them!""Old man, Pingkang's life...Fang Jinshi, with a darkened face, got up and strode away.

Jing Wang pretended not to see it, and instead of getting angry, he kept smiling and greeting the others around him to drink.

Yuan Buyu appearing at the birthday banquet of Prince Jing's heir was extremely rare.

Many people are speculating when the King of Jing and the prime minister got so close. Could it be that the King of Jing is also interested in participating in government affairs and starting to take sides

Zong Pingchuan was also a little absent-minded throughout the banquet.

That day, as soon as he left Jinshu Mountain Villa, he learned that assassins had passed through in the evening. When people from Jinshu Mountain Villa went to report the case to Jingzhao Mansion, his face turned ashen with dread.

My heart pounded with fear.

Yuan Buyu seemed to know everything he did. He thought he had kept his little actions secret, but he was like a cricket kept in a cage, going round and round but always under someone else's control.

After returning home, Zong Pingchuan was uneasy. He had been staying in Yuan Xiangli's room every night for the past few days, and their relationship as husband and wife had eased considerably.

Zong Taiwu's injuries were also healed by the people Yuan Buyu sent.

But Yuan Xiangli still didn't give up on finding Fang Jinshu to seek revenge. As long as she had the opportunity, she would definitely make this bitch die without a place to be buried.

"Pingchuan, why are you so absent-minded"

Yuan Xiangli poured him a cup of wine while talking.

Zong Pingchuan was a little tipsy and supported his forehead.

"I'm a bit tired, actually."

Yuan Xiangli still cared about her husband very much, and he had explained the problem with Mu clearly to her. The two had already cut ties and there was no possibility of anything further between them.

She is the only mistress.

"It's still early before the feast ends, why don't I have someone escort you to a guest room at Jing Wangfu to rest for a while"

Zong Pingchuan's lingering gaze swept over Yuan Buyu sitting in front of him, and he nodded to the Yuan family.

"Alright, but no need to trouble madam, I'll just ask a servant from the manor to take me there."

"Stay here at the feast with Qian Yue and await your father-in-law's instructions."

Yuan Xiangli's face darkened slightly upon hearing this, and she muttered under her breath in displeasure.

“I don’t know what Father was thinking, to have me bring Qian Yue to the banquet at Jingwangfu.”

"Look at all these women who brought their daughters here, their eyes are glued to Prince Jing! They really think their daughter can get the position of Princess Consort How laughable."

"Pingchuan, do you think Father would really want to marry Qian Yue to King Jing as a second wife"

Zongpingchuan gritted his teeth and asked, "What's the point of asking me this Has the Yuan family ever cared about my opinion"

Even his three children's futures, including their marriages, were not controlled by him as their father. They were all decided by the Yuan family.

"Father has always loved Qian Yue dearly. If he truly has this intention, it must be for Qian Yue's own good."

"Madam, I have a bit of a headache. I'm going to rest for a while."

Yuan Xiangli relaxed her brows and nodded eagerly, not wanting to say more.

"Alright, you go first. I'll have someone call you when the banquet is almost over."

"Hmm."

Zong Pingchuan got up and walked out of the banquet hall at the back. The moment he stepped out, the exhausted expression on his face vanished instantly. House servants from the Prince's mansion came forward to inquire.

"Excuse me, sir, is there anything I can do for you"

Zong Pingchuan smiled, "It's nothing, just a bit too much to drink. I'll go for a walk and get some fresh air. You guys go down."

The servants of the manor bowed and said, "Yes, Lord Zong. There are many inconvenient places in the manor, please don't wander around."

"Understood, go now."

As soon as the servant left, Zong Pingchuan headed toward the back garden.

He noticed that Mu Shi wasn't at the table. For some reason, her youthful face seemed to appear in his mind. He knew this wasn't a good time to see her, but by the time he realized it, he had already arrived at the back garden of Jing Wang's mansion.

Mrs. Mu and the other noble ladies who attended the banquet at Prince Jing's mansion couldn't find anything to talk about, and with her daughter-in-law absent, she felt uncomfortable staying there. She led Dong'er out to the garden to play.

The two children were already playing hide-and-seek in the garden. Yu Lian had a stomachache and went to the toilet. Only Mrs. Mu was left sitting on the stone bench in the garden.

Besides him, there were two maidservants from the palace, they should be serving the young master.

Seeing that she was alone, Zong Pingchuan felt a surge of joy and was about to walk over when suddenly a figure appeared before Mrs. Mu first.

When Zong Pingchuan saw who it was, his brows furrowed so tightly they almost knotted together.

Palace Elm How is he in the backyard, and talking to Madam Mu

Zong Pingchuan himself didn't realize his face was as black and grim as a husband caught in adultery.

Gong Yu was rather surprised to see Mrs. Mu. He hadn't expected that getting lost would lead him to meet her.

When Mu Shi also cast him a surprised look, Gong Yu immediately blushed and retracted his expression.

"Mister Mu, Madam Mu, I did not mean to intrude."

"Honestly, honestly, my sense of direction is just awful. I went to Gong's house and got completely lost."ed As her son, this is the last thing you can do for her.""Uncover the truth behind your aunt's murder, so she can rest in peace."All the second house residents were present. Mu's heart softened, seei...
