Chapter 678: What is He Doing in Xizhou?

olars who cultivate the land, acting like they're superior to everyone else.""Actually, it's all stale grains and worthless stuff!"Women were mostly scolded, and some men's expressions became rather s...In Fu Ming's eyes, Si Li was simply a savior who descended from heaven. He pointed at Zong Yu in front of him.

"He he he, he's Zongyu."

"May I ask, are you here to deliver a message from a woman named Fang Jinshu"

Zongyu reacted, and immediately took three or four steps to Li's side, his expression was beyond tense.

"Where is she Is she safe"

Si Li could feel the concern and tension in the man's eyes before him. He must be the husband that Zong's lady was looking for.

"Lady Zong, are you well Young Master Zong, a carriage awaits outside the gate. Lady Zong is waiting for you at the Prince's Mansion."

Zong Yu didn't care about any princes or not, he probably only heard the news of his wife's whereabouts, and without a word, he got into the imperial carriage.

On the other hand, Fu Ming's whole body stiffened when he heard the words "Prince's Mansion." He didn't care about the stalemate he had with Zong Yu just now, and he pulled Shen Li up, hurriedly getting into the carriage.

Now Zong Yu did not want to see Fu Ming at all. After getting in the car, he ignored him completely.

Fu Ming was smiling and chatting with Zong Yu.

"Zong Gege, don't be angry with me anymore. Now that we know Sister Jinxiu is safe, we can all breathe a sigh of relief, right"

"Besides, what I said about going into the city to look for her was also right. She had already been in Muzhou City early on, while we were foolishly waiting at the inn outside the city."

If we had entered the city sooner, we might have found her by now.

"I really didn't mean to ignore Sister Jinxiu, truly."

Fu Ming really couldn't figure out how Fang Jinshu ended up with that old fat man, and how she came to live in the Prince's Mansion.

Could the one who saved her be the old fat man

That's not right. With Old Fatty's rotund body, it would be a chore for him to even leave Mushu City. How could he possibly be out and about in this freezing weather

If she really got involved with that old man, all the connections and relationships I promised her would be for nothing.

Then how did he manage to trick people into going to the capital

< Headache! Really a headache! >

This old fat man, all he knows how to do is cause trouble.

Inside the palace, Fang Jinshu had been waiting for a long time. She was pregnant and had insisted on waiting for a whole day and night. Finally, as dawn approached, she could no longer keep her eyes open.

passed out at the table.

She has reached her limit.

The fat old man had the maidservant carry her to bed. She fell asleep as soon as she got there, and shortly after, the chamberlain brought someone back.

Zong Yu was so anxious to see his daughter-in-law that he wanted to confirm she was really safe and sound.

Out of respect, he should have gone to see the prince first. Along the way, Fu Ming chattered incessantly, but Zong Yu pretended not to hear him.

The eunuch led the person to the courtyard where Fang Jinshi was staying, and happened to run into the portly old man who hadn't left yet.

The moment he saw him, Zong Yu was also stunned.

"You, are you old man."

The portly old man had met Zongyu within the city of Luoshui.

"Heh heh, it's old man here."

Your wife is fine, she's inside. She waited for you all day and night, and just fell asleep after exhausting herself.

Hearing this, Zong Yu's heart ached with both sympathy and distress.

He bowed deeply to the stout old man in a gesture of thanks. The stout old man appreciated Zongyu and his wife very much, and did not mind that his first act upon entering the house was not to visit him.

On the contrary, Fu Ming would see the portly old man hiding instead.

After Zong Yu finished the ceremony, he went into the room to accompany his new wife. The fat old man chuckled and turned his head to look at Fu Ming who was hiding behind the artificial mountain.

"Ming'er, since you're here, come have a cup of tea with me."

Fu Ming's scalp went numb as he walked out from behind the rockery. The moment he stepped into the Prince's Mansion, he was prepared to be discovered.

He was a little strange.

"Nephew, I have met your uncle."

The fat old man chuckled, "Why have you left the palace and come to Xizhou"inshi tugged Zongyu's hand. "Let's focus on the main task first. If you feel frustrated, we can go back to the prison and beat Li Lie up again later.""Beat you until you're satisfied, okay"Zong Yu's e...
