in charge of tens of thousands of troops.How were the Gu family brothers able to make Zong Yu their commander despite having no official positions in the armyUnlike Fu Ming's plethora of questions, Fa...This was not what Zong Yu had in mind. He intentionally said that just to anger Fang Jinxiu. He didn't want to see her so eager to draw a line between them.

To be honest, he still doesn't know how to coax Fang Jinxiu into not being angry. He had barely interacted with the woman at all.

He could only rely on instinct and some clumsy intimidation tactics, he knew he absolutely couldn't let Fang Jinshu leave.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Jinshu hadn't even had time to get angry when she was stunned to see Mu Shi quickly rise and slap Zong Yu hard.

She really didn't expect that her mother-in-law would actually slap her for the sake of family reputation.

"Shut up!"

Mu seemed to be quite angry, her chest rising and falling rapidly.

"You are the least qualified person to say that."

"Mother, my older brother doesn't mean it." Zong Bai could sense something was different after all.

Since his brother-in-law's return, he has carefully learned about everything related to his sister-in-law and even personally helped his sister-in-law with many things she didn't know about.

He could tell that his elder brother wanted to get along with his sister-in-law, but he didn't know how.

Your sister-in-law is not like ordinary women; she's not so easily coaxed.

Yu Lian frowned and pulled Zong Bai.

"Second brother, which side are you on"

"Your brother's words just now were too harsh, you still spoke to him like that."

Mrs. Mu had almost never shown anger to her own children. She took Fang Jinshu's hand, and sternly scolded Zongyu.

"Don't think that just because you've been out fighting for a few years and become an official, you can run wild at home."

"Reflect carefully on your words and actions today."

Zong Yu remained silent throughout, not even showing anger after being hit.

Mu pulled the taciturn Fang Jinshi away, and after they walked out for a while, Mu found a quiet pavilion and pulled her to sit down.

"Jinxiu, Ayu."

She knew her son, Ayou, wasn't speaking from the heart just now.

Fan Jinshui smiled and interrupted, “I know Mother doesn't want us to fight.”

"Ah, he's changed," Fang Jinshi said, her eyebrows furrowing slightly as she spoke of Zong Yu's current disposition. "He's quite different from before."

After all, four years have passed, it's normal for people to change.

Fang Jinxiu had never told the Mu family about Zong Yu's amnesia. After all, besides not remembering the past, Zong Yu still cared for and was close to his family as always.

I only forgot about the feelings I had for her.

It doesn't really matter whether I say it or not. Saying it might even make the Mu family worry more.

It's still better not to say.

"Mother, please rest assured, even if I separate from Zongyu, you and Yulian will always be my family."

"Unless you want me to leave too."

Mr. Mu hurriedly stopped her from saying such things.

"What silly talk a foolish child utters!"

"This place will always be your home, mother would never turn you away even if she kicked that scoundrel Ah Yu out."

"Just stay home and don't even think about leaving, understand"

Hearing this, Fang Jinshu's heart warmed. She hugged Mu Shi's arm and coquettishly leaned against her.

"Mother still loves Jinxiu the most."

"Don't worry, I won't go anywhere."

"This is my home, you are the only family I have in this world."

She came into this world alone. It was the Mu family who gave her the warmth of home. Even if she and Zongyu truly reached a point of incompatibility in the future, she wouldn't blame any member of the Zong family for it.

This much she still could tell.

That's good, mother is relieved that you think this way.

Mu pondered for a moment, still wanting to say a few kind words to her son. She found it strange that Zongyu had spoken like that just now.

This is definitely not something his own son would say. There must be something else going on here.

"Jinxiu, your mother has been there before, I know why you're angry with AYu."

"You say it's because A-yu hasn't returned after three years, but what you really care about is that he hasn't even sent a word of peace back home all these years."

"Aren't you afraid he has already forgotten about your feelings for each other, that he doesn't care about you anymore"

Jinxiu's complexion froze, and she turned her head awkwardly.

"Mother, it's me."

She was embarrassed to admit that Mu had been right, feeling that it was a bit awkward and ridiculous to openly confess this.

Mu sighed and said, "Mother understands your feelings. It's understandable that you are angry."

"Having gone through so much on the battlefield these past few years, A Yu must have changed. Xiao Zhao said several times that he'd nearly stepped into the underworld with one foot. It's perfectly normal for his personality to shift."

"But he's my son, I watched him grow up with my own eyes. Can't you see that he still cares about your mother"

"You're a fool caught in the system."

"Why don't we give him a chance"

You're too cold to him. He was so anxious that he even said those trashy things, and he wasn't even afraid you'd really cut ties with him and leave.

"Such shoddy incitement."

Fang Jinxiu frowned, "Mother, let me think about it again."inshu about Gong Yu's information."Palace Master is a scholar-official in the Imperial Academy, holding the rank of fifth grade.""He seems to be about thirty-seven. He is a low-key person and a schola...
