money, I wouldn't give you that much."Am I looking like I have 'easy target' written all over my face""Forty or fifty taels, you could buy six or seven people at the slave market and bring them back....After this was said, the Mu clan and others were so uncomfortable that they couldn't continue eating.

Jade Lotus secretly wiped away the tears from her eye corner, Zong Bai's palms clasped tightly in his lap, never loosening.

Mu sighed, "Let's stop here for today, General Zhao. Eat well and drink well, and don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."

"Thank you for always being by my side, A Yu."

"Make yourself at home, don't be shy."

Mrs. Mu felt a little uncomfortable and beckoned to Jin Yu to help her return to the courtyard for a rest first.

Zhao Yun scratched his head and said it was better not to listen. Yu Ge had suffered countless wounds on the battlefield, and he often found himself on the brink of death every few days.

If he hadn't been fighting so recklessly, the Battle of Xizhou wouldn't have lasted for three and a half years. It might not even be over after another three and a half years.

"General Xiao Zhao, this one is to you and our whole family."

Zong Bai drank the wine in his hand in one gulp. Compared to his elder brother, the slight grievance he had suffered during the imperial examination was nothing.

Isn't Zong Pingchuan afraid of becoming famous If he can erase his first place ranking once, can he do it again and again

He is young, talented, and has plenty of time and opportunity to outlast him.

Moreover, entering the court was not just through the imperial examination. Since others were already in the capital, why be afraid they wouldn't have a chance to get back what rightfully belonged to them

After a few overbearing presences left the house, the atmosphere at the dinner table became more relaxed.

Zong Bai accompanied Zhao Yun for several more rounds of drinks. Yulian was worried and stayed here to keep an eye on the two of them. When both were too drunk to stand, she had someone send them back to their rooms to rest separately.

After Fang Jinshu returned to her courtyard, she saw Zong Yu following behind her. She wanted to pretend not to see him and close the door to wash up and go to sleep.

This guy followed me just to stand in the yard and put on a show, didn't he She hasn't fallen for that since she was eight years old.

She heard the door creak open and, to her surprise, Zong Yu actually pushed it open and walked in.

Fāng Jǐnxiù finally couldn't maintain her calm demeanor. She glared at Zōng Yù and reprimanded him in a harsh voice.

"Get out!"

Zong Yu mian's face was expressionless, and instead of leaving, he walked two steps closer to Fang Jinxiu.

"I didn't agree to a separation, this is my room too."

After he finished speaking, he calmly sat down on the bed, as if he had no intention of leaving.

Fang Jinshi gritted her teeth. When she bought this manor, she hadn't considered Zongyu coming back to live here at all.

Last night, the most severely affected area was the guest rooms. The whole area was almost reduced to ruins and uninhabitable.

Now the only room left on the zhuang that was still habitable was the servants' quarters.

She didn't really care where Zongyu lived, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Fine, if you're not leaving, I will."

If it's really that bad, I can just go to Yulian's place and stay for the night.

Fang Jinshu turned around and took a step towards the door, Zong Yu got up and stopped her.

She knew this would happen.

What exactly do you want

Zongyu glanced at Xiaoyue, his eyes speaking volumes.

Xiaoyue stood awkwardly to the side. She also knew that she shouldn't stay any longer at this time, but since Madam didn't speak, she really dared not leave.

So I could only lower my head and pretend to be a quail, pretending not to see the old man's eyes chasing me away.

"Don't scare Xiaoyue, she won't leave without my order."

"If you want to act like a general, go back to your barracks and stop glaring at my people!"

Zhong Yu nodded.

"Alright, this is what you made me do."

Suddenly, she picked up Fang Jinshiu and walked towards the courtyard. Fang Jinshiu was completely dumbfounded, never expecting Zong Yu to do something so sudden.

She struggled to shout.

"What are you doing! Let me down!"

Xiaoyue anxiously chased after him.

"Master, Master, what are you doing Put the young mistress down quickly."

Zongyu's two long legs were moving quickly, but he stopped at the gate of the courtyard as if deliberately waiting for Xiaoyue to catch up.

The moment she approached, breathless from her haste, she saw Zong Yu carrying the struggling Fang Jinxiu back into the room with large strides. Xiao Yue tried to keep up but was successfully shut out by the door.

Zongyu inserted the latch, no matter how Xiaoyue knocked on the door outside, she couldn't push it open.

Fang Jinxiu was simply dumbfounded. Could this really be something Zong Yu was capable of

Isn't this man still the same silly and honest husband who can't even fart after three hits

"I've always wanted to talk to you properly, but you've been avoiding me."

Zhong Yu hooked the corner of his mouth, "You forced me to take such a desperate measure."o young masters are used to on a daily basis. Don't worry about having too much luggage; pack everything you can.""By the way, take some of the specialties from the warehouse, especially those rare mo...
