uding Zong Yu, Zong Bai, and Yu Lian. They are all descendants of my clan.""I'm going to kick your sorry ass out here to fend for yourself!"Old Madam Wu's words grew increasingly harsh, and Mu Shi was...When everyone else had left, Zong Yu walked over to Fang Jinshu's side.

Jiang Chuang has already come looking for her. Fang Jinxiu was thinking that Zong Yu must be very concerned, and just about to explain their relationship.

Before, at Hou Mansion, she had only said a few simple words. Ah Yu now already forgot her identity as a traveler, explaining again would not know if he could understand.

Zongyu spoke first.

Needless to say, I believe you.

He minded Jiang Chuang's relationship with her, but he trusted Jinxiu's feelings for him more.

All these years, nothing has changed. Could it possibly change so easily just because of this sudden appearance

Fang Jinxiu was stunned. How did he suddenly become so trusting of her Before, he was jealous to death and turned black when he saw Jiang Chuang.

"Well, I was going to explain it to you, but if you don't want to know, that's fine."

She stole a glance at Zong Yu's expression. His lips were pursed straight, clearly still caring, yet he pretended to be generous and indifferent in front of her.

It's too cute.

After Fang Jinxiu untied her knot of worry, she observed Zong Yu's every move again. She realized that she could still see traces of his past self in him. His personality had changed a bit, becoming more straightforward and adorable than before.

I was accustomed to keeping my emotions, whether joy or anger, bottled up inside. I rarely expressed them outwardly, and my feelings never easily spilled over.

Now she's better, at least her joy, anger, and frustration are more apparent. She doesn't hide them as deeply anymore, sometimes even showing them quite obviously.

That's good, too. In the past, Ayou hid all her emotions inside and suffered greatly.

She is willing to share all the joys, sorrows, and ups and downs of life with him, to cry together, to laugh together, to share in good times and bad.

"When are you planning to tell your mother and the others about moving"

The staff from the Ministry of Internal Affairs have already finished all the preparations for moving in. All they need to do is pack up their belongings and they can move right in.

The place is alright, but to make it comfortable, we still need to decorate it.

Then such a big house, wanting to completely tidy up, how is that easy.

Zongyu thought of something, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Daughter-in-law, let's move in a few days later."

Fang Jinshi was taken aback. Before, in the car, Zong Yu wasn't saying to just do whatever she wanted, so why was he backtracking now

"Alright, we're not exactly homeless anyway. A few more days won't hurt, I can get some things prepared beforehand."

Now that Zong Yu holds a different position, every word he utters must have his own intentions and plans behind it.

Fang Jinshi based his belief on the thought that it was just a matter of moving, so he didn't ask any further questions. Whether it was a few days earlier or later didn't really matter.

After the couple reconciled, the atmosphere of the whole family became much better. Fang Jinshu was in a good mood and went to the kitchen to show off her cooking skills. She decided to make a spicy hot pot for everyone to enjoy in the evening.

She plans to make her own spice blend for the stir-fry. If it tastes good, she could consider selling it at a restaurant, retailing it, or even making it a signature dish.

People in Beijing have plenty of money and they just want something new. As long as the taste is a little bit better, there's no worry about having business.

On second thought, opening a business here is actually simpler than in Xizhou. All you need to do is smooth things over with the people around here.

The common people of Xizhou had endured both natural disasters and war, and it was estimated that it would take three to five years for them to recover. They were struggling even to meet their basic needs for food and shelter, so there was no money left to contribute to economic development.

In short, it's just no money.

Business is not as good here as it is in the capital.

Just as Zong Yu was about to follow his wife into the kitchen, he finally coaxed her, and for Zong Yu, this felt no different from their honeymoon.

But at this time, Zhao Yun arrived. Zong Yu saw him and his face immediately turned cold.

Fang Jinshi saw that his face changed so obviously, she couldn't help but find it amusing, and nudged him with her elbow.

"Zhao Xiaogeneral is looking for you, there must be something important. Go quickly."

Though Zongyu wasn't happy to be interrupted during his alone time with his wife, he still nodded and followed Zhao Yun.

Two people came to a secluded spot on the side of the manor, ensuring that no one could hear their conversation. Only then did Zhao Yun speak.

What did the imperial physicians say

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Dr. Yao said that tomorrow morning he would be able to acupuncture the General."

"Yu Ge, just now I saw you and your sister-in-law seem to have made up."

When Zhao Yun mentioned Fang Jinxiu, Zong Yu's eyes softened.

"Hmm."

As I expected!

Zhao Yun urged eagerly, "Since things have been settled, there's no need for you to go to the Imperial Physician's office to retrieve your memories, is there"

"Dr. Yao said that he had never done such a treatment before, and the risks were enormous,"

And we can't guarantee your memories will come back successfully. Why risk it all for a chance they might What if...

Zhao Yun really didn't want to say anything more.

Doctor Yao also said that this kind of treatment could potentially damage Yu Ge's brain, and there was a possibility he might become mentally disabled.

With such a promising future just within reach, how could Your Majesty possibly still use him once he has become foolish

Yu Ge was practically wagering everything he had on this venture.

Zongyu interrupted Zhao Yun's words.

"There's no if and buts."

"My mind is made up, you need not say more. Tomorrow morning I shall go to the Imperial Hospital."

Zhuge Yun saw that his advice had no effect, so he simply stopped talking. He should have known that if Brother Yu made a decision, no one else could change it. It was too difficult to persuade him to change his mind.

"Dr. Yao also said that it would take three days to recover his memory."

"His Majesty's side is fine, he can just take a leave of absence."

"You didn't let your family know about this, and you haven't been home for three days. How are you going to explain it to them Or did you already come up with an excuse and have spoken to your sister-in-law"

Zongyu put on a serious expression and shook his head solemnly.

Zhao Yun was stunned, shaking his head a few times, "What"

I don't know how to tell her, and I promised Jinshu that I wouldn't lie to her again.

"So I can't say anything."

Zhao Yun twitched the corner of his mouth.

So, there's no way you can say you won't risk it all to get your memories back and keep it a secret from your whole family

Zongyu turned around, a rare awkward expression on his face, and patted Zhao Yun's shoulder.

"These three days, it will be hard work for you."

"Just say what you see."

Good fellow, you can't fool your sister-in-law, so you let him do it instead, right

Are the lives of those under you not lives at all

"Brother Yu, this isn't right,"

"Sister-in-law will definitely notice something is up."

"Zong Yu's assessment was, 'Once the acupuncture begins, even if Jinxiu knows, nothing can be changed.'"

"Alright, for the next three days, just try to stay out of the manor, won't you"

Zhao Yun sighed, Yu Ge had given him a huge problem this time. He seemed like someone good at lying.

The two then discussed military affairs for a while. The emperor bestowed upon Zong Yu the title of Wuding Hou, and his command included 50,000 troops, including the city defense army.

And the city guard's barracks were just outside the city walls, so as the commander-in-chief, he should go and have a look.

The deputy commander of the city defense forces has sent someone to ask Zhao Yun when General Zong will arrive or what orders he has.

Zhuge Yun knew that Yu Ge was not planning to take over any military affairs for now, so he recommended him for the position of deputy commander twice, but this wouldn't work if they continued like this. He needed to push for a decision eventually.

Although the city defense army's status was lower than that of the Imperial Guards, it was still a force the Ministry of War desired but couldn't obtain.

Yuan Bubu had previously wanted to use his own grandson to win over the Minister of War, Wen Xiong. As a result, the two families' engagement was unexpectedly disrupted by Fang Jinshu.

Wen Xiong hasn't fully joined Yuan Buyu's side yet. If Brother Yu puts in some effort, he might be able to pull him over.

In any case, we need to give the vice-president a reply, even if it's just one sentence.go find him for an explanation.""Do whatever you want, chop his hands off, cut off his legs, even if you castrate him or kill him, it has nothing to do with me."“Oh, are you too busy to help”"If you'r...
