more familiar and she sees them often, she doesn't resist them as much.Even when strangers from other villages come, Qianqian still hides directly."Jinxiu, the table is set, come have dinner!"Mu shi...When King Jing and Fu Ming arrived with their people, the sky was already bright. The servants of Jinshu Villa saw so many corpses in the courtyard that they were all frightened white.

Luckily, Fang Jinshi had given everyone a heads-up beforehand, and with Zhao Yun's help, they quickly cleaned up all the bodies.

When Mu saw her eldest son return home safely, she was so overjoyed that she burst into tears uncontrollably, like a weeping statue.

Seeing Zong Pingchuan standing beside another woman was even more heartbreaking than seeing it with his own eyes.

Zong Bai and Yu Lian saw their elder brother, and their eyes turned red. Over the past few years, with their elder brother away from home, they felt like something was missing in their hearts. Although their sister-in-law had been steadfastly protecting the family like a lodestone, it just wasn't the same.

When the big brother appeared, their hearts immediately settled, as if they were no longer afraid even if the sky fell.

"Brother, you're finally back."

The two brothers met, Zong Bai was overjoyed, but Zong Yu had lost his memories from his younger years and couldn't feel the same excitement as his younger brother when seeing a relative.

He just patted Zong Bai's shoulder and said.

"All grown up."

Zong Bai didn't notice Zong Yu's oddness. Over the past few decades, his older brother had always been taciturn and rarely smiled. No matter how excited he was inside, he wouldn't reveal it easily.

If he really saw him and immediately hugged him like a long-lost brother, eyes brimming with tears, Zong Bo would suspect that his older brother might have been switched at birth.

Yu Lian was no better, crying just like Mu Shi.

They four huddled together, it took a while for their emotions to settle.

Xiaoyue watched as Madam stood beside Young Master, looking like an insignificant stranger. Her heart couldn't help but worry.

Mu seemed to have just remembered something and hurriedly wiped away her tears.

"Yeah, yeah, you've been gone for four years, you don't even know what Yuanbao looks like, do you"

"Ayu, come see Jinxiu and Yuanbao, Yuanbao is your and Jinxiu's child."

Zong Bai and Yu Lian moved aside to let each other pass. Zong Yu remained in place, his eyes fixed on Fang Jinxiu and Yuan Bao, the big and small pair.

Yuan Bao had been a bright and intelligent child since he was little. He noticed long ago that his mother didn't like his father at all.

The little person narrowed his eyes, frowned and tried to imitate the adults' cold expression as he shouted.

"The Yuanbao has no father."

"Yuánbǎo has only had his grandmother, aunt, uncle, and mother since he was born!"

"You're a bad person, Mommy dislikes you, Yuanbao won't acknowledge you as his father!"

Yuanbao's attitude towards Zongyu was extremely bad. Mu shi sighed helplessly, she wasn't surprised at all to see such a scene.

Who would let their son not come back for so many years, and disappoint Jinxiu's wait.

At least send a letter back.

Zong Bai and Yu Lian were very anxious, just about to step forward to pull Yuan Bao away so that the kid wouldn't cause trouble. But Yuan Bao was quick as a monkey, quickly hiding behind Fang Jinxiu.

She screamed while pulling on her mother's hand.

"I'm not going with you guys."

"When he came back, you all stopped standing by Mother's side. I hate my aunt and uncle!"

Fang Jinxiu stood there and hadn't spoken a word. Zong Yu saw his son so repulsed and disgusted with him, his heart was very painful.

Gu Feng hadn't told him before that he and Fang Jinxiu had another son.

Given the child's age, he must have been born shortly after his father left home to join the army. This means that when Fang Jinshu came to Yu Zhou looking for him, she was already pregnant!

Upon realizing this, Zongyu's mind went blank. He was stunned.

A bitterness also arose in the throat.

Why didn't she speak up at the time If she had, perhaps he would have changed his mind and gone back with her.

Fu Ming saw Zong Yu's face as soon as he arrived, and his heart was filled with indescribable feelings.

"It seems we're a step behind."

Fang Jinshui finally spoke the first words she said to Fu Ming after Zong Yu returned.

"By the time you come to save us, it'll be too late."

"Seventh Prince, don't forget how your mother recovered her health. You promised to do everything you could in the capital to protect us."

Fang Jinxiu sternly questioned Fu Ming, but Fu Ming did not show any prince's arrogance. He looked apologetic instead.

"I'm sorry, I know I'm late."

"Don't worry, I won't let you guys suffer this injustice. I'll definitely find a way to make Yuan Buyou have a bad time for a while and keep him busy so he can't bother you again."

Fang Jinshi snorted. Though she was speaking to Fu Ming, her attention couldn't quite focus completely.

Zong Yu's eyes never left her from the moment she walked in.

Fu Ming and King Jing also wanted to stay and watch the excitement, but the atmosphere at the family gathering was too strange at this time.

In the end, the two still bid farewell. However, before leaving, Fu Ming said he wanted to keep Shen Li behind.

Zhao Xingzhou was seriously injured and could not use his martial arts for a short period of time, making the safety of Jinxiu Mountain Villa a concern.

"With Shen Li here, you can rest assured."

Zong Yu suddenly walked to Fang Jinxiu's side.

"No need."

"Please take the seven princes back as well.""Those who don't want to earn these grains and meats, get out of this door immediately!"After Zhao Xingzhou roared, these people immediately shut their mouths obediently.The person standing at the edg...
