reeted Fang Jinxiu with a smile."Greetings, Lady Zong. It's good to see you again.""Young Master Zhao makes a good point, anyway we're going that way too. It would be great to walk together.""There ar...In the end, this matter still alarmed the Emperor. His Majesty issued an edict overnight, not only summoning all imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau to Jing Wangfu for a consultation, but also venting his anger and demanding a thorough investigation into the person who had poisoned Jing Wang.

Although the guests had already dispersed, every single one who had come to Jing Wangfu today was interrogated by the Imperial Guard. The commotion caused quite a stir.

Yuan Bunyu had already been in a foul mood after returning because of the Zong Pingchuan incident. When Yuan Xiangli learned that her husband had been taken to the Dali Temple, she rushed to the Prime Minister's residence.

This would be begging his own father for help, Yuan Buyu also had a falling out with his daughter for the first time.

He just couldn't understand, what did Li er see in Zong Pingchuan These years if it weren't for his daughter, he would have gotten rid of this useless white-eyed wolf so long ago.

"Father, your daughter begs you, Pingchuan is the father of my three children. If he's convicted and imprisoned, how can your daughter and our children ever hold our heads high in the capital again"

"I, I, if Pingchuan met with misfortune, my daughter wouldn't want to live either!"

She burst into tears, clutching a handkerchief. Yuan Buyu's face now held more genuine emotion than it ever had at the Jing Wangfu—it was cold and stern.

"You only know how to cry! You are my daughter Yuan Buyu, for such a heartless man you're even going to seek death"

"Fine, then go die! I'll pretend I never had a daughter like you!"

When Yuan Buyu truly became angry, his appearance was extremely frightening. His eyes were dark and gloomy, as if ten thousand bolts of lightning were rolling inside, ready to strike down anyone who angered him at any moment.

Even his own daughter, who had grown up beside him and been pampered by him since she was a child, couldn't help but show a fearful expression. Yuan Xiangli instinctively froze in place, her lips tightly closed, daring not to utter a single cry. Her eyes were filled with fear and dread.

Yuan Buyu saw the situation and felt a headache coming on. He reined in some of his imposing aura and softened his tone when speaking to Yuan Xiangli.

"As the daughter of a prime minister, what kind of husband couldn't you find"

With a father around, even if you have three children in tow, your father can still get you remarried with great fanfare.

"Zong Pingchuan, thinking he was clever, believed that by driving away his son who had passed the imperial examinations, he would avoid being discovered. How laughable."

He was never truly sincere towards you, nor to our Yuan family. Why bother saving a man like that

"Li'er, this time no matter what you have to listen to your father."

“I’ve already had the divorce papers prepared and sent to the Dali Temple. Before he is found guilty, your father will definitely have your bedding cleaned and taken out. As for those few young ones, if you’re willing, keep them by your side. If not, return them to the clan.”

"Father wouldn't be so heartless as to take their lives, but I will have them sent back to where they belong."

Yuan Xiangli felt a chill run down her spine when she heard this.

Not only was the father so heartless towards Pingchuan, but he even didn't want Taiwen, Taimu, and Qianyue! These three children still have half of Yuan family's blood in their bodies.

He was so heartless.

"Father, you can't send Tai Wen and Tai Wu away. They are my daughters, and they carry the blood of our Yuan family. How can you send them back to the countryside"

Can a village like that, deep in the mountains, really be livable Isn't it supposed to be even poorer than average villages

Taiwu Taiwu and Qian Yue had been pampered since childhood, how could they bear such a hard life Yuan Xiang Li's heart ached when she thought of this person, feeling unbearable pain.

"Hmph, the bloodline of my Yuan family"

"He deserves it too!"

Yuan Buyu's words referred to Zong Pingchuan. Yuan Xiangli had always known that his father disapproved of his husband, but she had never dared to let Zong Pingchuan know.

"Don't worry about the divorce. Just trust your father knows what he's doing. You can keep those three children, but you absolutely cannot let them cause any more trouble."

"By the way, what's going on between Qian Yue and the second son of Nan Yang Hou Mansion today"

"Whose idea was this"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Yuan Xiangli became uneasy and couldn't even bear to look at Yuan Buyu.

She stammered for a long time, unable to speak. Yuan Buyu closed his eyes, already having a guess in his heart.

He endured for a long time but still couldn't hold back, opening his mouth to angrily rebuke.

"Silly!"

Such low-class tactics, used against someone like Zong Pingchuan, a naive bumpkin from the countryside, are more than enough.

"But who is Fu Shangyuan"

"The fact that he survived the power struggles between princes from the previous generation is enough to show that he is no ordinary nobody."

And he was also deeply favored by the Emperor and Empress Dowager. Don't you think he is as foolish as Zong Pingchuan!o backwards.""After all these years of marriage, I'm afraid I've never truly understood him."Fang Jinxiu was taken aback. She had heard from the servant in the morning that a man who looked like an of...
