"Really? Thanks dad!"

For the first time, Xu Zongen felt that his nominal father seemed to treat him well.

If he was willing to treat his mother better and take her as his wife as soon as possible, he would not mind his father's neglect of him and his mother in those years.

At this moment, he would never have imagined that his beloved mother was lying in the mass grave feeding the dogs.

Next to the back door of Prince Zhan's Mansion, an old slave carrying a stretcher put down the things on his shoulders, patted the dust on his body, opened the back door to a small crack, and ducked in.

"The villain joins the King of War."

Uncle Zhang lowered his head, not daring to raise his head to look at the man sitting on him. He knelt down cautiously and did not dare to get up without the King of War's order.

Fang Yuan was not in a hurry to listen to his report, and just fiddled with the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard out of boredom.

"Get up and tell me what you learned."

She glanced at him casually and didn't take it seriously. She stared at the chessboard with her eyes, thinking about the next move.

Uncle Zhang did not dare to stand and reply, but still knelt down and said in a clear voice: "I was guarding the door of Wudinghou's Mansion early this morning. I didn't find anything unusual. On the contrary, a relative came to the house. From what they were called, he was the son-in-law of the Hou family.

The prince, on the other hand, was very fond of his brother-in-law and looked at him diligently. "

After saying that, he lowered his head respectfully, clasped his hands together and knelt down honestly.

"Well, I understand, go down."

Fang Yuan didn't seem to take these things to heart. In the final analysis, it was all worthless information.

None of this is what he wants.

He took out a black bag from his belt and opened it. Inside was a jade pendant, engraved with a jade dragon pattern. If others saw this thing, they would be able to tell at a glance what the purpose was.

After all, only the emperor can use dragon patterns...

"Father, I am also your outstanding son, but why don't you look at me more?"

He rubbed the jade pendant, then held it in his hand, tightening his fingers, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

If the world is unfair, then he doesn't mind fighting. It's really not certain who will win.

"Who?!"

When she noticed someone approaching the house, her heart tightened suddenly, and she immediately put the jade pendant into the black bag.

"Husband...husband...may I come in?"

Listening to the delicate and soft voice with a hint of grievance outside, my heart also relaxed.

Tang Suyun had just come back from shopping outside. She bought some new gold hairpins and put them on her head. She came to see the King of War happily. She couldn't wait to see the prince's expression when he saw such a beautiful herself.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, he was pulled into the house, exclaimed, and then fell into a warm embrace.

"Why do you think of this? Did you have fun going out?"

Fang Yuan bent down slightly, resting his chin on her shoulder, and hugged her slender waist tightly with his hands.

"Husband, you have been really bad recently. Take a look at the new hairpin I bought. Does it look good?" Tang Suyun supported his chest and was about to push him away, but he hugged her tighter.

"My Ayun looks great no matter what she wears."

This is true, considering that Tang Suyun's appearance was also famous in Kyoto back then. Every time she performed on the stage, she would attract high-ranking officials to spend huge sums of money.

It's just that he came from a bad background and was sold to a theater troupe in the early years. Only after meeting the King of War was he able to escape from slavery.

"My lord, you know how to tease Ayun."

Tang Suyun covered her mouth and smiled. She didn't know why something suddenly occurred to her, and her smile suddenly fell.

Of course Fang Yuan noticed her change in mood, and thought it was his careless hands and feet that hurt her, so he hurriedly let go and carefully checked whether there was any red spot on her.

I don't know why, but this girl is very delicate by nature, and her wrists will turn red with a slight pull.

"Husband...I'm fine, I'm...the concubine..."

Halfway through the words, he bit his lip again, tears rolling around, as if they were about to fall down in the next second.

This look made Fang Yuan even more anxious. Of course he knew that his mother was not easy to get along with. She must have said some harsh and unpleasant words that fell into Ayun's ears.

"Mother, did she say something to you again?"

Fang Yuan knew what he was asking, but he still wanted to hear Ayun say it himself. Even if he couldn't vent his anger for her, it would be good to hear her complain.

Tang Suyun shook her head, "Husband, my mother-in-law did not say anything unpleasant to me, but I just listened to what others said... She said that there will be a family banquet in the palace in a few days, and all the princes will bring their wives to attend. But the concubine said... that I am just a concubine, and she is definitely not qualified to do so."

After saying that, he turned away angrily and stopped looking at Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan had a severe headache when he heard what the family banquet was. It was just that the emperor wanted to hear some flattering words for him, and he also wanted to beat them princes.

"Ayun, don't be sad. It's okay for us not to go to such a family banquet."

As soon as she finished speaking, Grandma Gu entered the room, and then Concubine Cui was helped in.

Tang Suyun quickly wiped away the tears on her face and said, "Greetings to my mother-in-law."

When Mrs. Cui heard this, she was so angry that her back molars were almost broken. She asked an actor to call her mother-in-law, but she didn't care about her identity!

It’s really a big honor for myself.

"Hey, Tang...Suyun? You are here, too. Wherever my son is, you will follow me. Huh, I can't afford to call you a mother-in-law."

Fang Yuan hurriedly stood in front of Tang Suyun, with an unbreakable gloom on his face.

He insisted on marrying Ayun. If he, as a husband, could not even protect his own woman, what was the difference between him and a coward?

"Concubine, Suyun didn't say anything wrong. When she enters the door of our house, isn't she your daughter-in-law? She should call you mother-in-law."

Concubine Cui's face was livid and she closed her eyes. At this moment, she really wanted to slap this silly son who was blinded by lard.

He is quite smart in other things, but why every time when it comes to this Tang Suyun, he feels as if he has been taken away from him, his heart is biased.

"You good-for-nothing! Do you want others to laugh at me? After so many years, there has been only one concubine in the entire Prince Zhan's Mansion. What's even more annoying is that she is a loser. She doesn't even have a son and a half. , if you take her to the palace, you don’t know what people will say behind your back!"

After speaking, he looked at Tang Suyun as if looking at a dead body.

Fang Yuan lowered his head and remained silent. It was not that he didn't know about this kind of thing, but what he didn't want to see was for Ayun to be wronged.
