Chapter 1012 Reputation! You Dare to Lie to Me

repayment for my saving your life."Fang Jinxiu's temperament was so poor, she almost spat a mouthful of phlegm on this person's face right now.Looks human, but acts like a dog."Stop," she whispered w...Zongbei deliberately changed the subject, and Yulian didn't realize she was being led around.

"I left, then I saw that no one came after me. Doesn't that worry about your safety So I quietly turned back."

"Don't worry, all the people from Jiang Chuang have already left, and they were in a hurry to leave."

Perhaps because I've done too many bad things, there was a fire in the backyard and I have to rush back to put out the fire.

Zong Bai unconsciously frowned.

"No, things are probably not that simple."

"Quick, let's hurry home! Jiang Chuang must have brought people to the villa to find Big Brother and Sister-in-law!"

Jade Lotus was taken aback upon hearing this. Indeed, how could she have not thought of it

She turned around and immediately pulled open the car curtain, shouting at the coachman.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry back to the manor as fast as you can!"

The coachman nodded and immediately tightened the reins in his hand, urging the horse to run wildly forward with a shout.

After Zong Yu forcibly carried Fang Jinshiu out of the restaurant, he did not immediately return to Jinshiu Mountain Villa. Instead, he put her on his horse and brought her to the Wuding Hou Mansion, a residence bestowed upon him by the emperor.

The marquis's residence had to be spacious, with a grand layout. Inside, there were three gardens: two with amber trees and one with a lotus pond.

It's not just a small garden with random flowers and plants like ordinary households have, but a real garden you can actually stroll around in.

There are more than seventy courtyards of varying sizes, those for servants may be smaller, but the masters' courtyards are all impressive, especially the main courtyard.

Zong Yu rode his horse all the way to Hou Mansion's gate. Fang Jinshu was still scolding from her horseback at first, but no matter what she said, Zong Yu didn't say a word, not even a response. Later, she simply stopped talking.

Since nobody is paying attention to her, it's just a waste of saliva.

Not until he stopped his horse in front of a spacious mansion did he realize it was the one recently bestowed upon Zong Yu. Though the palace had sent people to clean, the plaque for the Wuding Hou Mansion hadn't been hung yet.

When the owner of this prestigious reputation is present, a small housewarming ceremony should be held to express gratitude for the imperial grace. This follows the proper protocol and serves as a formality.

Therefore, Fang Jinshi didn't know yet that this was the residence of Marquis Wuding.

"What is this place"

"What did you bring me here for"

Fan Jinshi couldn't understand Zong Yu's actions. Didn't he stomp off angrily last night Today, he came back to the palace to attend the victory banquet. He was a great hero in the Western Zhou War, so how could he return home so quickly after the celebration

She thought Zong Yu was too hurt and offended last night, so he couldn't even talk to her for days.

If it were the old me, I definitely wouldn't ignore her. Now, it's hard to say.

"Just go and see for yourself."

Zongyu didn't directly answer Fang Jinshu's question. Instead, he took the lead and walked to the front. He lightly knocked on the door, and someone immediately came to open it inside.

Fang Jinshi raised an eyebrow and followed. She thought this was an empty house with no one living here.

At first, she hadn't thought that this might be a house bought by Zong Yu, using the house to buy her off.

After wandering around for a while, Fang Jinshi's face gradually became solemn.

"My lord, after the front hall is the main courtyard. Although the two places are not far apart, a winding corridor separates them in the middle, so the main courtyard remains very tranquil."

Even if the sounds in front are as loud as they can be, they won't disturb the masters' rest.

"Over there is Bibo Lake, and that's the garden. Among all the noble houses in our capital city, only ours has the largest and most magnificent Bibo Lake."

"After you move in, we can have some lotus seeds planted. Perhaps by autumn, you'll be able to see a beautiful sight of lotuses blooming all over the lake."

"Absolutely breathtaking."

Zong Yu, satisfied, nodded. The eunuch who led them and explained the layout of the mansion was sent by the palace to help him clean up his residence; he should be from the Imperial Household Department.

She spoke in a sweet and gentle voice.

Every time he finished describing a place, Zong Yu would not offer any opinion, but instead would turn his head to look at Fang Jinxiu's expression.

If she's not satisfied, this mansion is useless to him no matter how luxurious it is.

"How do you feel Do you like it here"

Fang Jinxiu was taken aback. Who wouldn't like such a luxurious and beautiful mansion

But she and Zong Yu had already divorced. Jinshui Mountain Villa was after all bought by her, so there was no problem with her staying there.

Since the emperor has already betrothed him, what does it matter if she likes him or not She can't change anything.

Fang Jinshu didn't speak, she turned and walked straight towards the front door. Zong Yu panicked, he was tall, so it wasn't difficult to chase after Fang Jinshu.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs officials were puzzled. Didn't everyone say that Marquis Wuding and Fang Jinshi had already divorced This didn't seem like it at all. Instead, they looked more like a quarreling couple. The relationship between the two was clearly still entangled, unable to be severed.

"What are you following me for, so eager to show me your new mansion Are you trying to tell me that my divorce from you is a loss for me, that I have no taste"

This wasn't Fang Jinshi's true feelings. She was just uncomfortable when she thought Zong Yu accepted the emperor's betrothal, her jealousy got the better of her, and whatever came out of her mouth was uncontrollably sour.

Such a beautiful house belongs to Tanna.

Zongyu was taken aback, only then remembering that he seemed to have forgotten to tell Jinxiu that he had never agreed to the emperor's betrothal.

He didn't intentionally spread false news to provoke jealousy, but his wife's reaction was completely different from what he expected. Instead of getting jealous, she started avoiding him more and more.

With a start, Zong Yu snatched Fang Jinxiu's wrist and pulled her back into his embrace, explaining himself.

"I did not agree to the marriage."

Fang Jinshu first froze for a moment, then let out a snort.

"Don't lie to me. You wouldn't joke about something like this. Everyone in the common folk knows about it, Your Majesty must have mentioned it."

When Zong Yu saw that she didn't believe him, he unconsciously used a little more force with his hands, just to hold her tighter, afraid that his wife would run away again.

As I mentioned, I haven't agreed to it.

Fang Jinxiu looked up at him in surprise.

"You said you, refused the Emperor"

Good heavens, how many guts does Zong Yu have He's the highest leader of this country, and ancient emperors had immense power. Isn't there a saying, "Being close to the ruler is like being near a tiger"

How dare he refuse the emperor's.

"Are you crazy That's the emperor! If you anger him, he could take your life with a single word."

"What credit does one gain from the War of Xi Zhou He once didn't care about the lives of tens of millions in Xi Zhou, so what is your life worth to him!"

Seeing his daughter-in-law so excited, Zong Yu's heart was filled with joy. So she still cares about him, right

The worry in Zong Yu's eyes and the barely perceptible trace of anger instantly softened like spring water. His gaze towards Fang Jinxiu was also tinged with a faint smile.

He gently reached out to touch Fang Jinshi's cheek, his voice softening.

"So, you're worried about me"

Fang Jinxiu realized that her anxiety betrayed her concern for Zong Yu. Besides sighing inwardly, she had no other recourse.

How could you not worry, not care.

He was the only person she had ever loved across two worlds. He was the one she would risk her life to protect, her beloved.

Even if Fang Jinshi felt wronged and uncomfortable in her heart, she never thought of harming Zong Yu's reputation at all.

"Don't take advantage and play innocent! You told me at the start that you promised your family that you agreed to marry the Princess from the Northern Frontier, given by the Emperor. Was that all a lie"

Zongyu's smile instantly froze on his face.

Fāng Jǐnxiù gritted her teeth and roared, "Zōng Yù! You actually dare to lie to me!"he door was open."Mother, look, your younger sister must have gone in first.""Look at your second brother, after marrying the daughter of a prime minister he's become very wealthy. He has one house af...
