In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yuan Buyu looked at the person before him and felt something was amiss. He had sparred with Fang Jinshu a few times, and the woman was not easy to deal with. Moreover, she possessed some abilities that he couldn't comprehend.
Could she have died so easily
Yuan Buyu, overcome with paranoia, saw Tian Yi approach him.
"Master."
"Congratulations, Master Xiang, for removing this thorn in the eye of the Fang family."
Yuan Buyu let out a sneer, "Just an ordinary woman, she's not even worthy of being an eye sore."
"Have your subordinates handle this."
Just as Tian Yi was about to take the head, Yuan Xiang suddenly stopped him.
"Wait a moment."
"Take the head and have someone examine it carefully."
Then, Tian paused for a moment. "Master Xiang is worried that the young master deceived you"
Yuan Buyu's eyes were dark and gloomy.
"I suspect he was played."
While Fang Jinshui's death was undoubtedly good news, he still felt something was amiss.
"Yes, this subordinate will go now."
Tian Yi retrieved the box containing the head and inspected it. After a while, he approached Yuan Buyu with a troubled expression.
"My lord, the head is fake."
Yuan Buyu's pupils shrank violently, his mouth pressed into a thin line.
"Good, very good. This kid even dares to deceive me."
"As expected of my son, Yuan Buyu."
Then Tian Yi said something that even Yuan Buyu was surprised by.
“Master Xiang, the person's face has been skillfully altered with disguise. The face beneath the disguise is that of Bai Xuan, the young miss from the Duke’s Mansion.”
When I recognized Bai Xuan's identity that day, my scalp went numb.
The young master killed the wrong person, and this person turned out to be the direct daughter of the Duke's mansion. Everyone in the capital knows that the Duke's mansion is the maternal family of Prince Jing, and it shares weal and woe with Jing Wangfu.
To kill Bai Xuan is to offend the King of Jing.
The young master has gotten his master into a world of trouble.
Yuan Buyu, upon hearing the news, was momentarily stunned. Then, he swept away the gloom from his face and burst into laughter.
Tian Yi was at a loss, the young master had caused such a huge trouble for the Grand Tutor, how could the Grand Tutor still be able to smile
"It's interesting that it was the Miss from the Duke's Manor who died."
"This Jiang Chuang kid isn't completely useless after all."
Yuan Buyu narrowed his eyes, a sinister plot taking shape in his mind.
“I’ve been worried about how to create discord between King Jing and Marquis Wuding, but I never expected that Jiang Chuang would provide me with the perfect opportunity.”
"Tianyi, you will keep Bai Miss's head safe. At the Four Nations Trade Conference, I will give a big gift to Wuhou and King Jing."
Tian Yi didn't understand Xiang Ye's plan. He was just a sword, doing whatever Xiang Ye told him to do.
"Yes, my subordinate will keep Miss Bai's head safe."
Yuan Buyu waved his hand, letting him go. A faint smile curved the corner of his mouth, revealing his current delightful mood.
Even when word came that his daughter had come to plead with him again, it couldn't dampen Yuan Buyu's good spirits.
Because that idiot Zongpingchuan has ignored his daughter for a while now, it's time to see her.
"Let the young lady come in."
Yuan Xiangli heard that her father was willing to see her, and immediately tidied herself up. After these days of wits and courage with the eldest patriarch of the Zong family in that abandoned courtyard, Yuan Xiangli's mind finally cleared up a bit.
"Father."
She didn't cry as she usually did when she saw Yuan Buyu. This time, her face was remarkably calm.
Yuan Buyu nodded, somewhat pleased.
"There's been some improvement, at least."
Yuan Xiangli was his legitimate daughter, born to his wife. He treated her as the pearl in his palm, raising her with love and care. He truly loved this daughter of his. Even if she stubbornly went down a path of self-destruction, he wouldn't be able to pull her out of the mire, not even if he were promoted to the position of prime minister.
"Yes, this time my daughter finally understands her father's painstaking efforts."
Yuan Xiangli has been tormented by that old hag from the Zong family lately. Plus, with Zong Lao Da, that lazy and scheming fool, not caring about Pingchuan's life or death, he's always plotting to seize her wealth.
And now, the husband she once thought noble and upright, faced with the instigations of her clan elders and brothers, had forced her to compromise and agree to the demands of those two greedy men.
Although Yuan Xiangli is lovestruck, she's not stupid enough to reveal all her cards for a man.
She still has three children to care for, all of whom are unmarried. There are so many places where money is needed, she gave it all to the clan grandmother and the eldest son. What about her children then
It was from that moment on that Yuan Xiangli suddenly became aware.
Yuan Buyu didn't know, putting her and that group of people from the Zong family together would have such a good effect, waking up so quickly
"Since you understand now, hurry and sign the divorce papers and get rid of that family."
Yuan Xiangli nodded. He had already thought it through before coming here. But as soon as he thought of the nonsense that he had asked the housekeeper to tell his father, Yuan Xiangli felt ashamed and guilty.
"Father, it was foolish of me before to consider breaking off relations with you for the sake of that family."
During this time, Yuan Xiangli deeply understood a truth: once she left the Prime Minister's residence and her father's protection, and lost the status of the Prime Minister's daughter, she was nothing.
Even street vendors selling vegetables dared to mock her in front of her face.
The noble ladies she had once been friendly with no longer even glanced her way, regardless of how close they had been before.
Yuan Xiangli was used to being held in high esteem and treated like a precious jewel. She couldn't accept such a drastic change!
"It was the daughter's fault, daughter, I regret it very much."
With this realization came remorse, and tears welled up in Yuan Xiangli's eyes.
Yuan Buyu smiled very happily, his whole face full of love as he raised his hand to gently stroke his daughter's head.
"Well, that's all over."
"After you sign the divorce papers, you can move back to the Prime Minister's residence."
"Bring back your three children. They still carry the blood of the Yuan family, and they certainly cannot be left to those inferior scum."
Yuan Buyu's face wore a smile, but his eyes were cold as ice.
It's been a while, so Zong Pingchuan must be dead by now.
Since the daughter has woken up, why not send another gift to Jinxiu Mountain Villa.
On the side of the Duke's Mansion, Fang Jinshu and her husband were treated as honored guests by Bai Shizi and his wife. The madam was incredibly curious about Fang Jinshu's medical skills.
The enthusiastic person pulled her back into their yard and insisted on having a good chat with her.
Fang Jinshi also took the pulse of the Crown Princess by the way.
"The mistress's body is in good health, only occasionally experiencing insomnia at night. I have a bottle of sleep-inducing pills here, taking one every day for less than a month can ensure the mistress has a good night's sleep every day."
The Crown Princess was overjoyed.
"Lady Zhuge is too amazing, I do have that little quirk, for many years now."
I've also consulted all sorts of doctors, imperial physicians. They prescribed me various remedies, calming incense, every method imaginable, but nothing worked.
"I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I stopped worrying about it. You really think you can cure it"
Fang Jinxiu smiled, looking calm and composed, full of confidence.
"Well, I can."
Others can't because they are fundamentally misdiagnosing the cause, and prescribing medication that doesn't target the issue. Of course, it won't get better. since you came to our village, we haven't had a moment of peace!""I'm going to be fired, are you happy now!"Zhao's face was filled with indignation, but her eyes were red and teary, with tears consta...
