Chapter 888: How Long Do You Think He Can Tolerate Us?

he didn't think her daughter would be in any danger.They have lived on the hillside for quite some time. While Yulian is sometimes spoiled, she isn't someone who doesn't understand danger.She was mor...Early the next morning, Fang Jinshu could finally spare two hours. She quickly took Chang He to the city, riding in Prince Jing's carriage.

He just happened to bring his day off Dong'er to the manor to see her today. Upon hearing that she was going to buy a person, he volunteered to help out.

It was only then that Fang Jinshu realized that King Jing had no official position or real power, and could be as idle as he pleased.

"Dental clinics in Beijing have varying quality."

"Without a familiar face to guide you, the dental profession will inevitably push for forceful but superficial treatments. They might appear harmless but are actually the most cunning and deceitful when it comes to exploiting vulnerabilities."

"But rest assured, with this king here, I guarantee that all the servants you buy will be hardworking and honest people of good character."

Fang Jinxiu nodded to him, "Then thank you, Your Highness."

"But I'm more curious, you seemed not to care much for these trivial matters before, now." She paused.

Now it seems like they're trying too hard to please her.

She even had to accompany her personally for trivial matters like buying and selling servants.

When things are unusual, there must be a demon. Fang Jinshi couldn't help but be suspicious. King Jing wasn't a pure and innocent person; he must have ulterior motives.

King Jing wore an innocent expression and asked, "What's wrong now"

“By the way, Your Majesty asked me the other day when you would be welcomed into the mansion. After all, a concubine's status is second only to that of a principal wife. The Duke's Mansion currently has no principal wife, so upon your entrance, you would practically be the mistress of Jing Wangfu.”

"Lady Ke Fang has no intention of marrying me as a successor wife. How can I answer the Emperor"

Fang Jinxiu instantly closed her mouth.

Okay, okay, Fu Shangyuan is truly a cunning old fox to the extreme.

She only briefly suspected his motives for being nice to her, and he immediately brought up the favors she owed him, the kind that Fang Jinshu would never be able to repay no matter what.

The one in the palace, probably only Fu Shangyuan could handle.

Fāng Jǐnxu suddenly put on a smile.

"Nowadays, His Royal Highness King Jing seems more refined and considerate."

"With you by my side, I'm sure those gangsters won't give me any trouble. Thank you so much, Prince Jing!"

It's fine, Fang Jinshi has always been able to bend and stretch.

This was Fu Shangyuan's first time seeing her like this. She could actually tuck away her claws and appear vulnerable too.

"You're welcome, after all, you are my son's mother-in-law." In the future, there's a high chance you'll be Huai's mother-in-law.

To secure a beautiful, intelligent, and quick-witted daughter-in-law in advance, Fu Shangyuan was willing to please Fang Jinshi for his son's sake.

The kind that won't be satisfied unless you go all out in pleasing them, forcefully!

"Hee hee."

Fang Jinshi twitched the corner of her mouth and silently turned her head to the side. She would never speak to Fu Shangyuan again.

But she didn't speak, and Fu Shangyuan had no intention of letting her off.

In a short while, he opened his mouth and started to chat again.

"At the gambling table of the tavern, you wagered three thousand taels. Mistress Fang doesn't even want to know how things are going now"

Fang Jinxiu shook her head. "I don't want to know."

"If I lose, consider it a good mood for His Royal Highness Prince Jing."

Anyway, the odds of betting on her mother-in-law are 1 to 3.

Fu Shangyu clasped his hands together, then suddenly shook his head. "I'm afraid we both might lose this time."

"On the day of the Hundred Vegetable Feast, a censor wrote a letter impeaching Zong Shilang. For some reason, His Majesty seemed to have known about this beforehand. In the grand hall, he only criticized him a few times, and the matter was dropped."

"He, a mere undersecretary of the Ministry of Revenue with no backing whatsoever, couldn't possibly have achieved such results without help."

Fang Jinxiu was not surprised at all.

"Didn't Prince Jing already guess this"

"It seems that Prime Minister Yuan values this son-in-law quite a bit."

Fu Shangyuan glanced at her, "Don't say I didn't warn you, when you go to the weapon shop later, don't just focus on buying those who can work. Skilled guards generally cost more."

"Don't be afraid to spend money, and it's best to buy a larger batch of people like this."

Fang Jinshi's face tightened, and her expression became much more serious.

"How long do you think he can tolerate us"

Fu Shangyuan said, “It shouldn’t be long now. Yuan Buyu is a man who would never let his reputation be tarnished.”

He gave a mocking expression.

After all, his lifelong ambition was to be a pure and upright official who would be recorded in history and remembered for centuries.If he insists on trying to recover his memories, he could seriously injure his current body. To put it bluntly, there's a high chance he could become an idiot.He's successful, that's good. If he fails...
