patch, pulling the dry grass off her head. "Yes," she replied."I've left you some food."As soon as Zong Bai heard that his sister-in-law had left him some food, he was over the moon."Sister-in-law, y...Seeing her reaction to this, he was delighted. She didn't avoid him as usual but instead took the initiative to speak to him. He felt a surge of happiness, believing his method had worked.

"Well, the emperor's orders must be obeyed."

Hearing this, Fang Jinxiu's heart was filled with bitterness. What a royal decree that could not be disobeyed. If it were the old Ah Yu, no, he had lost his memory and was no longer the old Ah Yu.

Fang Jinshi immediately suppressed the thought. In order not to show anything unusual in front of Zongyu, she turned her body and hummed in response.

"Well then, I wish General Zong a bright future and all the best for his new marriage."

In the moment she turned, icy tears rolled down her back, her heart ripped apart by something unseen, bleeding profusely with excruciating pain.

Even though she pretended to be calm, there was a hint of panic in her footsteps as she left.

Zong Yu was so focused on Jiang Jinxiu's surprised reaction that he didn't notice this at all.

Zong Bai on the side was even more anxious than he was.

"Big brother! How can you speak to your sister-in-law like that Don't you really want to make up with her"

"Oh dear, you'd better go chase after her! Catch up and explain things clearly to your sister-in-law. Tell her that you never intended to marry anyone at all."

Zongyu was still stuck in his own dilemma, talking to himself.

Her reaction just now was clearly jealousy.

Zong Bai nodded, "That's right, sister-in-law isn't just jealous, she's heartbroken too!"

When he heard that his daughter-in-law was still heartbroken, Zongyu first felt a pang of sympathy for a few seconds, then nodded.

"I could react to everything, but why did she wish me a happy marriage"

Zong Bai was about to be amused by his own silly and foolish older brother. Was this the time to be agonizing over these problems

"Big brother, the emperor's marriage proposal is no joke. If you still have feelings for your sister-in-law, you must not agree!"

Zong Yu said calmly, "I have already agreed."

Zong Bai was completely stunned. Just now when his elder brother mentioned it, he thought he was just bringing the news back to discuss with them, but he didn't expect that he had already agreed!

Mrs. Mu didn't know when she had stood behind the two brothers. Her door was wide open, and she came out to see what was happening. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she heard her two sons' conversation. She turned pale with shock, and after reacting, she was furious.

This was the first time Zong Bai had ever seen his mother so angry. She actually rushed over and slapped his older brother hard, just like she had slapped him before.

He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for his older brother.

It's over, it's over. Although Mama is usually very good-tempered, once she gets angry, she's more serious than anyone else and can't be easily soothed.

He silently lit a row of candles in his heart for his elder brother, praying for his well-being. He couldn't help but think, wasn't this just asking for trouble

"What did you just say You agreed to the royal betrothal To whom"

Before Zongyu could answer, Mu snorted coldly and roared first.

No matter who you want to marry, I won't agree!

"In my heart, the eldest daughter-in-law of our family can only be Jinxiu. If you dare to marry another woman into the house, I, I..."

After a long silence, Mu said bluntly.

"I disown you as my son!"

Zong Bo was startled. He didn't expect his mother to be so angry with her sister-in-law that she would even say something like not recognizing his older brother.

Zhongyu frowned, his expression troubled. "Mother, this matter isn't as you think. You shouldn't interfere in our affairs."

"If we disobey the imperial decree, our entire family will face annihilation."

"Zong Bai said helplessly, "So elder brother knows, then why did you agree"

"Could it be... that you, you really want to marry the princess sent from Beijang"

"I don't care who the other party is, even if it's a princess, I won't admit it."

After finishing, she deliberately looked at the eldest son's reaction. As a result, Zongyu had no reaction at all, which made Mu angry to death.

Zongyu's mind was now filled with Fang Jinshi's reaction just now. Since she was jealous, it showed that his actions had worked.

Ke Fangjinxiu's reaction fell far short of his expectations. Maybe the stimulation wasn't enough, no, this play still needed to be acted out further.

"Mother, I heard that the Northern Border Princess is well-educated and knowledgeable. She has been studying the Great Xi culture since she was young. You would like her."

After finishing his words, Zong Yu left, leaving the angry and glaring Mu family and the distraught Zong Bai behind. Zong Bai couldn't help but rub his forehead, also supporting his angry mother who was about to faint, and hurriedly comforted her.

"Mother, elder brother, elder brother must have his reasons. He, he..."

Zong Bai racked his brain for a reason to excuse his older brother, but with what he had just said, there was simply no explanation.

"Well, if he really wants to marry the Princess of Beijang, there's nothing we can do about it."

"Both his sister-in-law and the letter were given to him."

Though Mu's family had accepted their fate, she never truly believed Zongyu would give up on Jinxiu. Even after her son's amnesia, there were still some similarities to his former self.

That night, Fang Jinshu tossed and turned all night long, unable to fall asleep. Her mind was in turmoil.

The next morning, I woke up feeling a bit off. Xiaoyue noticed that I wasn't doing well.

"Madam, we all heard about it."

The master was truly too much. While he was out on the battlefield fighting for his future, it was the mistress who diligently took care of their children at home.

The old lady's body was carefully cared for by the young mistress. Young Master Zongbei's grievances were also something the young mistress insisted on getting back for him. Even Miss Yulian's accounting skills were taught to her by a master found by the young mistress, step by step.

Now that he has achieved fame and fortune, is he going to kick out his wife to marry a princess

How can this be! What's the difference between the old man and his father Shouldn't they be called a pair of kindred spirits

When Xiao Yue heard the news upon waking up, she was furious. Even Jin Yu and Qiu Ju were indignant on behalf of their young mistress.

And they had all made up their minds, if Mistress were to leave the family, they would follow her without hesitation.

Xiaoyue suddenly knelt before her, a resolute look on her face.

"Madam, if you intend to leave, please be sure to take your servant with you."

"This slave will only serve you for their entire life. Wherever you go, this slave will follow."

Fang Jinxiu was taken aback. "When did I say I was leaving"

Besides having some signs of a bad night's sleep, she got up and went about her morning routine as usual—washing, dressing, and eating breakfast. Xiaoyue stood up and hurried to serve her, but she was puzzled in her heart.

All the housewives knew that the master was going to marry someone else, how could he still be so calm

I'll tell Mother later. After breakfast, I'm going to the restaurant. I guess I'll be busy with the restaurant for the next few days, and I probably won't be at the manor most of the day.

"Leave things that aren't urgent for me to handle when I get back in the evening. For urgent matters, send someone to find me at the tavern."

Xiaoyue nodded, "This servant understands, young mistress. Won't you bring this servant along"

Fang Jinxiu smiled. "Today I won't be taking you along. Help me sort the fabrics I bought back a few days ago, and we should also make a few new seasonal garments."

Xiaoyue was stunned, nodding her head repeatedly. She watched Madam continue to eat and leave as usual, acting like nothing had happened. Could it be that Madam truly intended to divorce the Master

They had always assumed that Madam's divorce letter was just a childish tantrum to spite the Master.pieces I gave you when you went out"Fang Jinshi smiled and nodded, "It sold out, for quite a lot of money."In fact, they weren't sold, they were all in her space.She originally planned to find a embro...
