"Jin Wang?" Jin Xuwen gasped.

How could he not know that his wife still knew the Prince of Brocade?

But since King Jin was there, he naturally didn't dare to go in and could only sullenly return.

Jiang Fangru looked at Fu Jiujiao, "Is this okay?"

"What's wrong with that?" Fu Jiujiao retorted, "If you step down now, what about next time? What if I don't give you a way out?"

"I..."

Fu JiuJiu looked at her, "Am I short on food or use for you here? Just take care of your health here and we can talk later. You always act this way and people think you're easy to bully."

"Little Bell, I'm telling you, your mother used to be fierce, but now she's like a soft persimmon." Fu Jiaojiao was teasing the chubby baby in her arms.

Jiang Fangrui knew that Fu Jiujiao was standing up for her. If she insisted on going back, it would hurt her feelings.

Jin Xuwen went back alone. Seeing this, Madam Jin didn't ask the reason and started talking about Jiang Fangru's bad deeds. "Jiang Fangru is really outrageous! You personally went to pick her up, and she didn't even come back. She's really shameless! I told you so, I shouldn't have let you go, you insisted on going, you should have ignored her and let her come back by herself."

"Mother!" Jin Xuwu frowned, "Please don't say anymore. I haven't even seen him, and I don't know if Little Bell is alright?"

“A young woman's movie, look at your treasure. Is Chunniang not to your liking? Just make do with it, mother has already had someone check her out. She has a big bottom, able to give birth to sons.”

Jin Xuwén frowned. Chunniang was his mother's forced concubine, but he had never even touched her. Driven to desperation by his mother, he agreed to spend a night in that room.

Chunniang loves money. If you give her enough silver, she won't speak, and she'll stay silent.

"Mother..."

"Then if you don't like Chunniang, I can find you another one. What kind of person do you like? Tell me." Madam Jin said.

"Mother, that's enough. I don't want any more." Jin Xuwu said helplessly: "Fang Rui's body is not from a bad bell, and she didn't say she was poorly raised. Isn't this too much?"

"Am I being too harsh? Which woman doesn't have children? Is it just her who should? When another woman in the family gets pregnant, they give their husband a concubine. But not Ginger Fangru; she does nothing! Now that this has happened, I will take charge."

Jin Xuwén felt that talking to his mother was pointless. If he continued, he was afraid he would end up seeking death or a desperate life. He made an excuse and left.

"Jin Fu still wasn't finished, "Xuwen, tonight Mother will have someone make some nourishing soup for you. Go to Chunniang's place and be obedient."

"Ginger Fangru didn't want to come back, just leave her be."

Tang Xian could see that Fu JiuJiu's gaze was too intense, and anyone with eyes could tell.

Fu Bajin patted him on the shoulder. Although their statuses were vastly different, how could years of friendship be burdened by such things?

"Come with me."

Fu Bajin was standing with his hands behind his back, looking very composed.

Tang Xian smiled and surprisingly got up to follow him.

Two people came to a quiet corner. Fu Bajin looked seriously at Tang Xian, "Are you trying to hit on my sister?"

Tang Xian generously admitted, "It's so obvious, I thought everyone knew."

Fu Bajin curled his lips, but the words weren't entirely wrong. "Let me tell you, we brothers only have this one sister. Jiujiu is the only girl in our Fu family for three generations. If you dare to bully her, don't care who you are, I, Fu Bajin, will be the first to not let you off."

This is not a joke.

Tang Xian smiled. "I swear on my life, what happened ten years ago will never happen again."

Fu Bajin clenched his fist and slammed it into Tang Xian's chest, "I tell you, if it weren't for the fact that you're someone Chi Chi risked her life to protect, I would have beaten you up a long time ago."

Fu Bajin was afraid that if he hit Tang Xian, the little sister would be heartbroken when she woke up.

"Understood!" said Tang Xian.

That's more like it. Let me tell you, my sister doesn't mess around.

"Who wants her to be someone's little?" Tang Xian smirked in reply.

"And... you guys be careful tonight, you're fine being a big man, but Chi-Chi is...

"Little girl, and she's so young, her mind isn't as developed as a fourteen-year-old's. You're bullying her."

Tang Xian couldn't control himself and blushed. Could he be so beastly?

"Where did you guys go?" Fu Jiujiu asked, looking at the two who had returned to her sight.

"Nothing much, I made a new bow and arrow, it's more powerful. When it hits flesh, it automatically opens a mechanism. I want to show this to King Jin."

Tang Xian also nodded in agreement, "Yes, that bow and arrow is very powerful."

Fu Jiujiu didn't think much of it. How could she have known that Bago saw her flying across the rooftops at night?

"Chirp chirp, will you enter the palace with me tomorrow?"

After Tang Xian and Fu Jiu sat down, they looked at the crowd who were playing together and said.

"Entering the palace?"

"That's right, Grandma has been talking about you all the time. Don't you want to see her?"

Fu Jiujiao thought of the kind old lady and nodded. "Okay, I heard that Empress Dowager wasn't feeling well?"

"Well, I can't see things clearly."

Fujujijiu exclaimed, "How is this possible?"

The Empress's eyes were very beautiful, they were a pair of speaking beauty's eyes.

“As I get older, I haven't been able to see clearly for three years. I can only make out shadows.” Tang Xian sighed wistfully.

"I can try."

Tang Xian smiled and nodded, but he really didn't want to take Jiujiao into the palace. But if it could be cured, that would be best.

Ginger Fangru watched as Fu Jiujiu on the rocking chair chatted with Tang Xian across from her, her expression animated and lively. Ginger Fangru felt a pang of envy.

This is how a beloved daughter should look.

Anyway, she didn't get it, her friends did.

She is also happy.

Soon, Jiang Fangru temporarily forgot her worries and had fun playing with everyone.

The little bell was held by the wet nurse, looking at her mother's smile, she also smiled.

Jin Xuwen found himself in a difficult situation here. He paced back and forth around Fu Jiujiu's large mansion, but lacked the courage to go inside.

All of this was seen by the dark guards and told to Fu Jiujiu.

Fujujiao feels that this man is not beyond saving, it's just a pity that he is a mama's boy.

But looking at Ginger Fangru's appearance, it seemed she didn't mind having a man either. She couldn't ruin someone else's marriage.

The next day, Jin Hua Yong, the husband of Jin Fu Ren and father of Jin Xu Wen, was demoted.

This came as a complete surprise. When Lady Jin heard that you had been directly demoted to the fifth rank, she almost fainted.

Fifth-rank officials were arrested in large numbers in the capital, apparently having become the lowest stratum of society.

The key issue is that we still don't know who we've offended. There was a mistake, but it wasn't a big one. My husband is an honest and straightforward person; he wouldn't dare to do anything major.

At this moment, she stopped caring about arguing with Jiang Fangrui and quickly tried to mend their relationship privately, asking what had happened.

He asked around a lot, but he couldn't find out the reason.

The fact that no one knows who they have offended shows that it must be someone very important.

See you tomorrow.
