about Fang Jinshu again, so he hurriedly asked."What's wrong""Fang Jianren is still tied up in the woodshed, Xiaoru hasn't seen him yet.""I have to hurry and get the person into the bridal chamber."M...Fu Ming thought to himself, it's better not to call.

How did he feel that Fang Jinshu punched him even harder after hearing Shen Li's plea

"Ouch! My nose, this young master's nose!"

How could Fang Jinshu be so vicious It's a shame to waste such a stunningly beautiful face! She even had the thought of killing Zong Yu and taking him back before.

Fu Ming was deeply afraid of his past thoughts, fortunately he gave up early.

Fang Jinxiu, being pregnant, had limited physical strength. After punching for a while, she was indeed tired and stopped to pant heavily on the side.

In recent days, I have indeed released a lot of the restlessness and agitation that has been plaguing my mind.

Fu Ming seemed to be beaten badly, but in reality, she knew how much strength she had and how hard she could hit. Fu Ming was just yelling miserably, but in fact, he only had minor skin injuries, at most it would be fine in two days.

Shen Li saw Fang Jinxiu stop and quickly ran over to help their master up.

"Young master, are you alright"

Fu Ming shook his head, using his hands to get up. He touched his handsome nose bridge and found that nothing was seriously wrong. Then he cautiously walked towards Fang Jinshu again.

"I was truly unaware of this beforehand."

"That day, I also found you with Young Master Su first. Indeed, I didn't see your husband."

"It was only later, when I heard a whisper from my uncle, that I guessed Gu Liusheng had taken Zong Yu."

“I think you should be clearer than I am about their motives for taking the honor.”

Fang Jinxiu almost gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"Us"

Fu Ming's words had a slight flaw, which she caught dead.

"That said, you know of Gu Feng's existence, you know him."

Fang Jinshu used a affirmative tone. She had probed Fu Ming many times, confirming that he was from the palace, while Gu Feng had once served the court and was still a high-ranking general.

A little thought would lead Fu Ming to the conclusion that he knew Gu Feng.

Fu Ming didn't deny it, he awkwardly nodded.

Later, when I heard Uncle Wang mention this person, I learned that he was actually Gu Liusheng's cousin and had been living in Bai Cui Garden all along.

For so many years, the court officials and even the common people believed that this young general had already died on the battlefield.

"I swear, I truly had no idea Gu Liusheng had such intentions. If I had known, I would have definitely warned you."

Fang Jinshu looked at him raising his hand to swear, her eyes filled only with mockery and irony, clearly unconvinced.

Fu Ming wasn't upset. He put down his hand and asked,

"Since you know it was the Gu family brothers who took your husband, and you know what they intend to do with him, from the side, the more they value their reputation, the less likely they are to let him die easily."

"He is safe now."

"It's you who should be staying home and resting up for the birth." He glanced at Fang Jinxiu's already noticeable belly. "Why bother traveling so far Wouldn't it be better to just stay put"

"And you, why are you accompanying me on this trip" Fang Jinxiu's eyes swept over Fu Ming coldly.

"I'm going to find my husband, what business is it of yours"

"Aren't you happy living a comfortable life in the palace, continuing your days of luxury and privilege"

"Why go through the hardship of traveling with me, facing hunger and cold, and countless dangers"

Well, Fu Ming was speechless after being scolded.

Fang Jinxiu kept staring at him, wanting an answer.

He held back for a long time, his face flushed red, and he stammered out two words.

"Friend."

"Because I truly value you as a friend."

After he spoke, Fang Jinxiu withdrew her gaze.

"You can give up comfortable days for your friends to travel with me, I can naturally rush to the battlefield thousands of miles away for my beloved man."

"What you say isn't dangerous, I haven't seen it with my own eyes."

Besides, what right do you have to forcibly take Aoyu away and send him to war Have you asked him if he is willing

Fu Ming didn't think so much, he frowned and subconsciously spoke.

"The border war is about to break out, and the country and Bai Xin are plunged into a sea of fire and water. As loyal subjects of Daxia, shouldn't we answer the imperial call to enlist in the army, defend our homes and people"

Fang Jinxiu took a deep look at Fu Ming, her palm clenched tightly under her sleeve.

This is probably just the thinking of those in power.

“No, you’re wrong.”

"Protecting one's home and country is the responsibility of a general, while ensuring that the people live and work in peace and contentment is the responsibility of an emperor."

We are all just ordinary citizens. It's our duty to live well and pay taxes properly.

"While the Imperial Court does have the authority to conscript adult men for warfare, who has given the people the right to say no"fficials have to eat too, right They've been purchasing our Jinshu Farm's produce from Xizhou for a long time now. Even if they're embarrassed to come themselves, they'll send someone else.""Understoo...
