Chapter 849: A Bold Threat

-in-law. However, she couldn't stomach the smell and couldn't bring herself to speak.Mu's face was full of worry as he waved his hands, "Mother, I really didn't mean it that way."Jinxiu said, these th...“Alright, alright, let’s settle it like this.”

"From now on, the supply of vegetables and grains to the palace will be entrusted to your Jinshu Cai Zhuang. Do a good job, and you may leave."

Fang Jinshi let out a slight sigh of relief and hurriedly prepared to express her gratitude with joy.

Suddenly, Yuan Xiangli broke free from Zong Pingchuan's grasp and knelt down on the main hall floor.

She was extremely unwilling to accept this. A few days ago, she had deliberately revealed the incident of Prince Jing and a widow being intimate in front of the Empress Dowager and Empress, and even bringing her entire family to live in her mansion.

At that time, the Empress Dowager and the Empress were clearly very surprised and said they would definitely investigate this thoroughly.

But for several days, the palace was completely silent.

The widow of this man was unharmed. Not only was she safe, but today she even stood before Your Majesty, radiating brilliance, becoming a renowned merchant!

Thinking of his little son lying in bed, thinking of the hardships his son had endured and the shame he had suffered, Yuan Xiangli became increasingly angry the more she looked at Fang Jinshi.

I couldn't suppress the urge surging within me.

Zhong Pingchuan's face was as pale as someone who had been dead for three days. When Yuan Zhai's gaze fell upon him, his whole body trembled and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to King Jing, I never expected Miss Fang to be so capable."

"Prince Jing has such a capable and beautiful woman, what good fortune! I wonder when we can drink to your wedding."

As soon as Yuan Xiangli spoke, the hall fell silent.

Including the emperor, everyone looked at Fang Jinshu with astonishment, as well as Prince Jing who was sitting beside her, still drinking as if nothing had happened.

The Emperor furrowed his brow.

"Shangyu, what's going on"

"You go with that one." The emperor paused, Fang Jinshi's hair was styled in a woman's bun, signifying she was already married. Jing Wang was a prince after all, how could he consort with a married woman!

The Emperor's face darkened.

"You speak!" he suddenly shouted at Jinxiu, his voice becoming much harsher.

Fan Jinshu hurriedly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the servant girl does not consort with Prince Jing." She instinctively explained.

Suddenly, King Jing put down the wine glass in his hand and walked to Fang Jinshi's side. In her astonished eyes, he bowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Princess Jinxiu is a widow, and your humble brother is a widower."

"Isn't it perfect that we make a great couple"

"I presume Your Majesty has heard that my lost son from several years ago has been found."

"It's all thanks to Jinshu, my nephew calls her mother. I brought everyone back to the estate to live with us, what's wrong with that"

"Damn, not to mention the emperor and all the courtiers were shocked, even Fu Ming and Fang Jinshu felt like they had lost their chins."

Especially Fang Jinshi, she wished she could scold Fu Shangyuan hundreds of times over and over.

What kind of nonsense is he talking about

Before the emperor, they confessed their relationship haphazardly. When did they become the kind of couple he spoke of

If she had known that Fu Shangyuan would come up with such a ridiculous idea, she wouldn't have stepped into the Jing Wangfu's gates no matter what.

Jing Wang seemed to know that Fang Jinxiu was frantically cursing her in her heart. Suddenly, he lowered his body and leaned closer to her, whispering softly.

"If you want to live, if you want to keep your splendid vegetable garden, just shut your mouth and say nothing."

Otherwise, this king wouldn't be able to save you.

At this time, the Empress whispered a few words in the Emperor's ear. The Emperor’s expression changed several times before finally calming down. His gaze turned complex as he looked at King Jing, and he sighed heavily.

"Alright, since you like him and he's been kind to your nephew, let's just set a date for the wedding."

"As a prince, even if you were to take a concubine, you shouldn't be so hasty and dismissive."

"But since this woman is a widow, she cannot become your principal wife. It wouldn't be proper. A position as a concubine would be sufficient for her."

Fang Jinshu had completely lost the desire to speak. King Jing pulled her along to express gratitude, and only after half a day did he manage to pull her head down.

When Yuan Xiangli saw that this matter had been so easily uncovered, Your Majesty and the Empress not only failed to punish this audacious woman who seduced the widowed wife of King Jing, but also appointed her as a concubine to King Jing.

She almost fainted.

"Your Majesty, this woman is of ill repute. She is a widow and her behavior is extremely unchaste. How could someone like this be fit to be Lady Jingwang's concubine"

"Think carefully."

Fang Jinshi turned her head to look at Yuan Xiangli. She nodded towards him, signaling that he could speak up and teach him a lesson himself.

If she were the concubine of King Jing, it would be absolutely fine to discipline a wife of a third-rank official.

"Who was it that was chasing after me so relentlessly It turns out to be Madam Zong."

"Last time, your second son insisted on giving me a gift. I still haven't figured out what to give in return."

"My ancestors have accumulated quite a bit of silver needles, it is said that they are even more effective than gold needles in treating illnesses. Why don't I return this gift to the second young master."

"I wonder if the second young master would like it"

Yuan Xiang's spine tingled, and she glared fiercely at Fang Jinshi.

This wretch, to dare threaten her right before His Majesty's eyes!pork from Sister-in-Law Jinxiu.”Zhao's expression stiffened, and she awkwardly turned her head away."Never mind, do whatever you want."Iron Pillar saw his mother leave, turned to beckon Spring Orchid...
