"I've never liked you! I'm the future head of the Fang family, how could I possibly marry a second daughter of the Jian family!"

His words pierced Jian Xiaoyu's heart like a knife.

She stared in disbelief at the handsome man before her, her heart filled with regret. If only she had...

Faced with the standoff between the two, Fang's mother remained expressionless, merely giving Jian Xiaoyu a cold glance. She now felt that Jian Xiaoyu was simply a jinx! The Fang family's troubles occurred after Jian Xiaoyu's reckless behavior.

"You have no manners at all! Go back and pack your things!" Fang's mother cursed.

Jian Xiaoyu turned her gaze to Fang's mother: "Mother..." She felt very wronged.

Fang's mother was provoked by the word "mother" and immediately put her hands on her hips and scolded, "Mother what? Don't you have a mother? You were originally just that good-for-nothing Fang Zhiyi's fiancée, crying and begging to marry Cong Yun, and now you're pretending to be pitiful! You jinx!"

Jian Xiaoyu's mind went completely blank.

"Enough!" Fang Kui finally spoke. He glanced at his wife and son, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Jian Xiaoyu, "Don't hold it against your mother. Such a big thing happened in the family, and you also bear responsibility. I think you should go back to the Jian family and help the Fang family seek some assistance, okay?"

As the head of the family, he is now focused on how to rebuild his fortunes, and that's when the Jian family can come in handy.

Jian Xiaoyu opened her mouth, glanced at her mother-in-law's harsh face, and then said, "I... I can't go back."

"Why?" Fang Kui asked in surprise.

"I..."

“That bitch invested all her mother’s money in Fang Zhiyi. How dare she go back now?” Fang Congyun sneered. “Moreover, the Jian family sent someone to tell us that they’re not in a hurry to pay back the money because of our marriage alliance. They can pay it back slowly in the future.”

Fang Kui was completely stunned. After a moment, he smiled bitterly. Such was the fickleness of human relationships and the coldness of the world.

After all, powerful families prioritize profit.

But the Fang family's troubles are not over yet.

The palace attendants brought the emperor's decree.

"Fang Kui, as a father, actually murdered his own son. Such an act is intolerable to the world! Even I could not protect this son. My heart is filled with pain. After settling the debt issues, the Fang family shall leave the capital immediately and not linger!"

The sudden imperial decree struck the Fang family like a thunderbolt.

"I... I really didn't kill him!" Fang Kui hadn't expected that this matter was still ongoing; he felt as if a very long time had passed.

The palace servant put away the imperial edict and straightened his back: "Fang Kui, are you trying to defy the imperial edict?"
