a man.Now I have to fawn over such a lowly peasant just to survive.She was certain that Tiezhu would definitely come over in the morning to bring them food. Of course, her daughter's family had to be...Before she broke in, Fang Jinxiu hadn't had time to think about anything. Even though she knew this was a prince's manor, as soon as she thought about Dong'er and Yuanbao's safety, what prince, what not.

Today, even if it was the Heavenly King himself standing across from me, I would demand he return my son!

"Stop it all!"

The steward of the Duke's mansion arrived just in time, after politely dismissing the guards, he walked up to Fang Jinshi with a courteous air.

"Madam, my lord requests your presence."

Fang Jinshu put away the silver needles in her hand, but she didn't relax her guard, nor did she move.

"Where's my son"

"Why are you arresting him What's happening to them now"

No one could tell, but from the moment she learned her son had been taken, Fang Jinshu had been on the verge of exploding.

If these people dare to harm Dong'er and Yuanbao even a single hair, she will make this entire manor pay the ultimate price.

"Rest assured, my lady. The two young masters are staying at our estate as guests. They are doing well."

As for the rest, you will know when you meet our young master.

Hearing that her son was fine, Fang Jinshu's tightly wound nerves finally relaxed a little, and her rationality gradually returned.

With just the manpower she brought, it would be nearly impossible to forcefully break into a prince's manor and take someone away unharmed.

She was confident she could rescue both children, but doing so would inevitably result in a Pyrrhic victory.

They might be worse off.

Since this King Jing did not harm Dong'er and Yuanbao, and let Xiaoyue return to report, it seems that he intentionally led her here.

As Fang Jinshu followed the housekeeper towards the front hall, countless thoughts raced through her mind.

Until she stepped into the main hall of Jing Wangfu, she still couldn't figure out what Jing Wang wanted to see her for.

Jade Garden Doesn't seem like it.

As the Prince of Jing, he was royalty, even though he was just a leisurely prince. The wealth in his hands was beyond comparison for ordinary people.

If it were for the sake of the vegetable garden, there wouldn't be a need to kidnap two children and use this method to see her.

As for other matters, she had just arrived in the capital and couldn't figure out where she might have offended King Jing.

"Are you the mother of Dong'er and Yuanbao"

Fang Jinshi was led to the center of the hall and stood there. The butler had already retreated to one side.

The man in the front seat was extraordinary. He had an aura of nobility and grace that only someone from a royal family could possess. Ordinary people would have probably knelt down in fear upon seeing him.

But when Fang Jinshi looked up and saw the face of King Jing, she was stunned.

King Jing also noticed the change in her expression, squinting his eyes and staring at her intently.

Is this a coincidence

Why does Prince Jing's face look a bit like Dong'er's

But Dong'er clearly looked more like Zongyu.

Even with Fang Jinxiu's brilliant mind, he was momentarily flustered.

Could this be the true reason why King Jing abducted Dong'er

"Who, who are you"

She unconsciously blurted out that sentence. Prince Jing frowned deeply and fell into thought.

Perhaps he should take a gamble.

Instinct told King Jing that the woman before him must have news about the bamboo hat!

"Who else could it be"

As for you, it would be best to answer this king truthfully from now on. Otherwise, your two sons won't even dream of leaving the Jing Wangfu alive.

Fāng Jǐnxiù disliked being threatened the most in her life.

If King Jing spoke nicely, perhaps she would honestly answer a few questions.

Now, she had to make this man understand that even if he was a prince, he couldn't control other people's lives!

Almost the instant King Jing's words fell, Fang Jinshu used her improved concealed crossbow to shoot a short arrow at King Jing. Though powerful, the concealed crossbow had a fatal flaw: it couldn't be used at long range.

Its range is only within five meters.

Can only be used at close range.

Once the distance is closed, no matter how fast she moves, she will be seen through by the other party and can be anticipated in advance.

The success rate of an arrow hitting its target will also be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Fang Jinshu also made a small improvement on the arrows.

She fashioned the arrow shaft from hollow master, and where a sharp arrowhead should be, she placed a thunderclap bomb that would detonate with just a slight friction.

The hollow arrow shaft spoke volumes. No matter what the King of Jing used to block her short arrows, the arrow shaft would be blown apart by the thunderclap cannon.

The powdered medicine inside will instantly disperse.

That close, it would be hard to miss.

By the time Prince Jing realized something was wrong, it was too late. He blocked the arrow, but a deafening bang rang in his ear, and a strange smell filled the air before him.

Although King Jing reacted quickly, he was still affected by Fang Jinxiu's attack even after covering his mouth and nose immediately.

"You! You have such a big gall, to dare poison this king!"

King Jing slumped back into his chair, utterly drained. Fang Jinxiu, fearless in the face of the charging guards, shouted at them.

"If you want your prince to die immediately, come and get me!"

"If you dare touch even a single hair on my head, I'll have every man, woman, and child in your Jing Wangfu join me in the afterlife!"is"Zong Yu hurriedly nodded, almost swearing to the heavens. He had just raised his hand when Fang Jinxiu pulled him down."Stop swearing oaths, the Almighty has too much to do to strike people down."...
