Chapter 1078: Not an Ordinary Obedient Puppet

brother isn't good with words, and Yulian is after all a girl. Don't you plan to help our sister-in-law in the future"Zong Bai quickly said, “Of course I’ll help my sister-in-law! How could I let you...Chapter 1078: Definitely Not an Ordinary Obedient Puppet

Jiang Chuant narrowed his eyes, "Understood. Tell him, I'll keep my word. There's no need to keep using such underhanded tactics to test me."

"Get out!"

The man in black nodded at Jiang Chuan and then turned to disappear.

After Fang Jinxiu returned to her room, she saw Zong Yu still lying on the table, asleep. Just as she was about to help him up and put him on the bed, the arm resting on her shoulder twitched slightly.

A voice, low and resonant, echoed in his ear.

"What's wrong What is it" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Fang Jinxiu's heart skipped a beat, feeling unusually uneasy.

"You're tired, it could be that your body hasn't fully adjusted to having your memories back, plus you haven't been getting enough rest these past few days."

There are many ways to interpret "not getting enough rest." After regaining his memories, Zong Yu would insist on exercising with her every night, keeping her up. He, however, was able to get up on time every day and looked energetic.

Fang Jinshu knew her body was fine, but right now besides using this excuse, she didn't know what else she could say to make Zong Yu believe her.

He didn't drink, so he couldn't say he passed out at the table.

"I am very well."

Zong Yu's lips twitched slightly, Fang Jinxiu was taken aback.

Ah Yu probably understood what she meant, so now with this slightly wronged and stubbornly proud look on her face, she's saying that she's fine She believed her words

Fang Jinshu quietly let out a breath.

As long as they can muddle through this one, he says anything goes.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's not your body, it's me."

"It's getting late, let's go to sleep."

She pulled Zong Yu to bed, actually because her heart was too guilty. If she didn't close her eyes and go to sleep quickly, she was afraid that A Yu would notice something.

Zong Yu wasn't as naive as he looked, sometimes he could be frighteningly sharp.

Unbeknownst to her, the moment she lay down, Zong Yu's body pressed against hers.

Fan Jinshu unconsciously clutched the collar of her chest, "Don't mess around, this is someone else's territory."

Zongyu's eyes were as deep and dark as ink.

"You find me unattractive because of my health."

Fang Jinshi's mouth twitched. That was just something she said casually!

"I didn't mean it that way, Ayou. You just recovered your memories, and with all those needles Dr. Yao put in your brain before, there must be some aftereffects."

"I'm worried about you, I want you to rest more."

No matter how Fang Jinshu explained herself, Zong Yu remained motionless, pinning her down with an increasingly intense gaze.

Damn it, how could she have forgotten that men absolutely cannot be ridiculed for being in poor physical condition, this is a major taboo!

Their forbidden zone, a minefield.

She couldn't find any other excuse, so she had to use his body as an argument.

Zongyu's attention was indeed diverted. His daughter-in-law despised his poor health, and now he had to prove himself.

Even after a short nap, his body was full of energy and completely fine!

When Zong Yu forcefully pulled his hand away from her collar, Fang Jinshu knew she was doomed. She definitely wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

How could this man have been as carefree and single for over twenty years before he met her, like a monk with no desires

In the depths of a stormy night, whispers that set hearts racing filled the room where the two resided.

"Tap, tap, you bastard!"

Zongyu's breathing was heavy, "It's hard to control, after all, my body isn't good. I can't control the strength."

Fang Jinxiu's molars were practically grinding together. Ayou's anger wasn't something she would have said before he lost his memory. It seemed like his true personality had finally been unleashed.

Now she finally believed the saying she'd heard before, that quiet and collected men are dangerous! Especially those who are physically fit.

The next morning, Bai Xuan excitedly ran to knock on Fang Jinxiu's door. Zong Yu heard the sound and opened the door refreshed. Suddenly, his wife's face appeared before him, and he frowned uncomfortably.

How long is this girl going to keep up this facade

Although Jinxiu made a slight change to Mucun's appearance, she still resembled Jinxiu from the side.

"Brother Fang, where's Sister Jinxiu"

Zongyu stood in the doorway and did not let Bai Xuan come in.

She's still asleep. White lady, you go first.

Bai Xuan was taken aback. As a naive girl, how could she understand so much After glancing at the sky, she looked surprised.

"At this hour, has Sister Jinxiu still not woken up"

Did she sleep late last night

Bai Yu stood at the bottom of the stairs in the room. After all, he was a man and couldn't be as bold as Bai Xuan to just barge into someone's room.

Although he was younger than Bai Xuan, he understood the world and human relationships much better than her.

Hearing Zong Yu's words, a blush appeared on his face that wasn't quite normal. He hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Bai Xuan back a few steps.

Since Lady Fang hasn't gotten up yet, you shouldn't go in and disturb her rest.

"Let's go first. Lady Fang will definitely come looking for you once she wakes up."

Bai Xuan was reluctant, but her younger brother's eyes were terrifying, and he glared at her.

She could only nod timidly.

"Okay."

Bai Xuan turned around.

"Brother Fang, if Sister Jinxiu wakes up, you must tell her that I came to see her. That way, she won't think I abandoned her to watch the show alone."

Bai Yu let out a mocking laugh, "Are you afraid that Madam Fang won't come and you'll turn around and go home"

Bai Xuan glared back angrily.

You talk too much! You knew you'd drag me away, so annoying. What if Sister Jinxiu leaves after this Where am I going to find her to play with then

"Hmm."

Zong Yu hummed in response, Bai Yu bowed to him and then pulled Bai Xuan away.

Fang Jinshi slept soundly. Bai Xuan yelled outside for a long time, but she didn't feel anything at all.

Zong Yu closed the door and walked back to the bed, looking at her sleeping face. He couldn't help but reach out and gently touch it.

"I'll be back soon."

Before they came out, Zhao Yun had said that if he didn't come to court every few days, even the Emperor would be angry.

Zong Yu had to rush back and punch the clock for court first. As a general, he didn't understand the intricacies of court politics at all. Besides military affairs, Zong Yu was basically absent-minded in the palace hall.

Fortunately, there was his brother Zong Bai, who was skilled in civil affairs, to help him out. Even if things went badly, Pan Zhi'an and Gong Yu would also help Zong Yu pay attention to some important changes in the court.

During this time, Yuan Buyu had not spoken much in court. He treated himself as an ordinary minister, being impartial and official in his dealings with everyone and everything.

This made the emperor somewhat uncomfortable. Although previous chancellor Yuan Xiang had a similar demeanor, he would occasionally express his own opinions on matters of state every few days.

Now he's completely airtight, so much so that anyone who doesn't know the truth would think he's truly turned over a new leaf.

But that morning, when he was going to the court, he surprisingly took two extra steps in the direction of Chao Zongyu. Before he could leave, the officials who were about to depart stopped their footsteps and turned back to look at him.

These two are now the biggest rivals in court. In fact, all the ministers understand that Zong Yu is nothing more than a puppet deliberately pushed out by the Emperor to restrain Yuan Xiang.

Although these high-ranking officials looked down on Zongyu's status, every time they saw him, they were always intimidated by his bearing.

Only then would people remember that while Wuhou was the Emperor's puppet, his military achievements and merits in Xizhou were indeed real.

He is a capable man, far from being an ordinary obedient puppet.

Wasn't he also taken advantage of once by him I will keep my promise."The Zhao family had no time to pay attention to Fang Mingxia. After Fang Jinshiu left, she shrugged and went back home by herself.Zhao Xingzhou heard the servant report that J...
