Chapter 709: Don't Be Afraid, I'm Here

, he was a little frightened and instantly stopped smiling.But he wasn't sure what had happened, so he just nodded dumbly, "Ah, yes, what happened, big brother You, you don't stare at me like that."Th...The steward silently shut his mouth. Since the past was brought up, the Prince must have his own plans.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the prince would never speak like this.

"Did Fang Jinshiu and her husband go to see Gu Liusheng"

The steward nodded. "Yes, Your Highness, he left early this morning."

King Jing'an sank completely into his seat, grinning broadly as he took another sip of tea.

"Okay."

These few young people are interesting.

"Fang Jinshu's husband is a good soldier. Perhaps this trip will allow him to return to the battlefield."

The headman was stunned. Aside from being more attractive than the average rural folk, what other abilities could this couple possibly have

Gu Liu Sheng lived in Bai Cui Yuan, the best located, largest, most luxurious and mysterious garden in Muzhou City.

Originally, the best house in Muzhou should have been Jing'an Palace, after all, the construction level of a palace residence was vastly different from that of ordinary people's courtyards.

Bai Cui Yuan was built after Gu Liu Sheng took over as the head of the family. This estate wasn't a single piece of land, but rather four houses that Gu Liu Sheng purchased and interconnected to create a unified residence.

Guided by a beautiful maidservant, Fang Jinshi walked through pavilions, water bridges, and long corridors that rivaled modern five-A scenic spots. She then traversed a path paved with pebbles, which at first glance appeared to be rare and extraordinarily valuable.

After passing through more than ten breathtaking sights that left her speechless, from awestruck to almost numb with amazement, she finally arrived at Gu Liusheng's welcoming courtyard.

Fang Jinxiu and Zong Yu both had good physical stamina. If they were ordinary people, entering Baipin Garden, walking from the gate to the living room would be tiring enough. Without a guide, they would definitely get lost 100%.

"Please come in, esteemed guests. My master has instructed that you may enter directly."

Tea and refreshments have already been prepared. Please rest here for a moment, my lords. I shall go and summon the young master.

Fang Jinshu, the imperial consort, nodded to the maid. "Thank you," she said.

Just as the maidservant left, Fang Jinshu pulled Zong Yu eagerly to rush into Gu Liusheng's living room.

The exterior is so grand, they've built their home into a large scenic area. The reception hall must be impressive.

After going inside, Fang Jinshu couldn't help but gasp.

Before she time traveled, she was considered a second-generation rich person, her family had a little money.

I consider myself to have seen quite a bit of the world. I've been to the Forbidden City and even the Summer Palace, although it was after it had been burned down.

And he also visited the homes of several business magnates with his father.

But nothing compared to the awe this house inspired in her.

From the moment she stepped across the threshold, everything she saw, including the very doorway she had just passed through, was made of water-soaked wood.

The floor wasn't covered in ordinary blue brick tiles, she couldn't help but lower her head and take a closer look. After seeing it, she wanted to curse.

Damn rich people!

It's jade!

There's still that kind of water.

A single tile from Gu Liusheng's living room floor, if removed and taken to a pawnshop, could be exchanged for at least several hundred ounces of silver.

This isn't tiles, it's plain silver money!

"Utterly decadent." She hissed through gritted teeth.

But Zong Yu showed no interest in these things whatsoever. There was not the slightest hint of surprise on his face. He entered with the same expression he had before, and when he sat down, he remained as calm and composed as ever.

Fang Jinxiu didn't look down on her own husband, but she felt she shouldn't be wrong.

A's expressionless face suggested that money wasn't everything to him.

But he, didn't know these luxurious things at all.

Fang Jinshu calmed her mind and sat down on a chair nearby. She picked up the teacup that a maid had already placed beside her and took a sip.

"Mmm, good tea."

"However, it's still a bit lacking compared to the tea I brewed with spring water." Fang Jinshi found a sliver of her usual composure in this bizarre place.

Although no one else knew, except for her.

"Ah Yu, do you think Mr. Gu will go back on his word after seeing Li Lie yesterday"

For some reason, after stepping into the garden of Petrified Forest, Fang Jinxiu felt a strange feeling in her heart.

She has always had a sharp intuition, especially when facing danger.

With an unmoved expression, Zong Yu cast a glance around the room before rising to stand beside his wife. He put his arm around Fang Jinshu's shoulders, pulling her closer to his chest.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Fang Jinshi was sitting in a chair, her face only able to be pressed against Zong Yu's abdomen.

She set down her teacup and reached out to embrace her husband's lean, strong waist. Savoring the sensation through his clothes, the strange feeling in her heart miraculously vanished.

Could this be what they call a sense of security

It seems that this feeling rarely appears whenever Zong Yu is around her.. She wasn't blind; how could she not see who was spreading the rumorsWang, the village head, raised his hand to cut her off."I know you know, you're so smart, there's no way you couldn't tell it was...
