h at all.The clothes on the original owner's body had been worn for an unknown length of time and already smelled musty. Fang Jinshu wanted to change, but there was nothing to change into, so she coul...When they arrived at the gate of Jing Wangfu, the coachmen who were driving Fang Jinshu and the others dumbfoundedly watched.

Previously, when the mountain villa hosted a banquet of a hundred vegetables, they thought the scale and grandeur were already impressive enough.

After all, most of the influential figures in the capital have come.

Today, seeing the banquet hosted by Jingwangfu, I realized that their vision is still too narrow. Even those attending the Crown Prince's birthday banquet were top-tier aristocratic families. Just looking at the class of their carriages was a notch higher than the hundred vegetable banquet they held.

At the door, each distinguished master and mistress was adorned in magnificent brocade robes. They were accompanied by a long retinue of attendants, showcasing an extraordinary display of grandeur.

On either side of the Jingwang Mansion were two rows of armored guards. Without an invitation or sufficient status, no one could even step onto the stone steps of the Jingwang Mansion.

After the carriage came to a stop, Zongyu leaped down first and turned to extend a hand toward the vehicle.

Xiaoyue lifted the curtain aside, and Fang Jinshu appeared leisurely. Seeing the palm in front of her, she paused for a moment. Even with so many people around, it was best not to argue with him.

"Wow, sister-in-law, look."

"Dong'er's birthday banquet is so grand and lively, oh my, there are so many guests today that I haven't seen before."

Those people looked imposing. The servants of the Jing Wangfu treated them with utmost respect, and it was even Fu Guanjia himself who stood at the door to welcome them inside.

The treatment was noticeably different from other guests.

There are hundreds of renowned families, big and small, in the capital city. Many of them operate with a low profile. Although they don't have much reputation in the city, their strength should not be underestimated.

Yu Lian was puzzled, "Last time our family hosted the Hundred Vegetable Feast, wasn't it said that prominent figures from the capital all came because of Prince Jing's reputation"

Fang Jinshu smiled, "How is that possible."

"It's just a gimmick to make our Jinxiu Villa famous."

Even with the title of "royal merchant," at her core, she was still just an ordinary commoner. How could those powerful families, with foundations spanning over a century, possibly look favorably upon someone like her, a small mountain villa owner

Most of the people who attended the last Hundred Vegetable Feast were merchants and their families from the capital, and some officials came as well. However, there weren't any high-ranking officials among them.

Those officials, even if they received the invitation, sent other female members of their families to attend. Only a very small number who loved food would personally attend.

Yulian nodded thoughtfully.

It seems the waters in the capital are truly unfathomable. She had thought that most of the prominent figures in the capital were those who attended their home's Hundred Vegetable Feast last time.

Originally, they were just a small group of shrimp.

Fang Jinshu's face tightened because she saw Yuan Buyu had also come.

Today, she would expose Zong Pingchuan's crimes right in front of these true aristocrats of the capital.

At that time, even if Yuan Buyu was the prime minister, he couldn't distort the truth and openly protect Zong Pingchuan in the face of physical evidence and eyewitness accounts.

"Yu Lian, today you must stay by my side at all times, not leaving an inch. Remember to speak less, especially when you meet Yuan Xiangli. Do not be impulsive."

Yu Lian nodded, "Sister-in-law, rest assured, I won't let that woman harm Mother even a single hair."

Zone Yu lowered his head and looked over, "Let's go in."

Fang Jinshi saw him standing before her like a master of the house, and she不滿ingly tugged at his sleeve.

"Your identity today is my personal bodyguard, protecting me as I walk ahead. Is that how it should be"

After finishing her words, she glared at Zong Yu angrily. Then, with a haughty air, she walked past him, a hint of satisfaction in her heart.

He said he was arguing with her in the car just now, and that she treated him like a puppet.

Zong Yu shook his head and chuckled. Well, even his wife's revenge was so adorable. He was now absolutely convinced by Gu Feng's words.

Before he lost his memory, he really, really loved his wife.

Otherwise, given his temper, if anyone else dared to be so arrogant in front of him, he would have thrown them out long ago.

Seeing Fang Jinshu appear, the guests at the door were not surprised.

The relationship between the mistress of Jinxiu Mountain Villa and the thousand threads and ten thousand strands of Jingwangfu is unknown to anyone in Beijing.

Although the two haven't officially gotten married, many people already consider Fang Jinxiu to be the future mistress of the Jing Wangfu. It is said that even the Jing Wang's son was saved by her, and the son is very close to her.

Therefore, as soon as Fang Jinshi appeared, several women immediately approached him to chat.

"Mrs. Fang has arrived."

"Madam Fang, you truly radiate with beauty today! While everyone else is adorned in finery, you stand out. Your beauty is unparalleled, and your demeanor is ethereal."

"The King of Jing and the princess truly are a match made in heaven."

These ladies were just trying to get closer to her because of her purported relationship with the Prince Jing. She was already dressed plainly, but they insisted on calling her "stunning."

Fang Jinshu's scalp went numb, and even his thick skin felt a little awkward.s largely to Zongyu and Jinshu. It's because of them that we were able to dig a canal and have clean water to drink.”"But now the village is running short of food, and everyone's going hungry. My lord...
