Lust is the key to success.

I would give up anything for her.

He even said that he didn't want to kill his entire family.

Isn't this the same as what was sung yesterday in the play where the beacon fire was used to tease the princes?

For a woman, he even ignored the country and the people.

"It has been so difficult for our Fang family to get to where we are today. How could you do this?" Mrs. Fang said, unable to tell whether she was angry or disappointed.

She is what fills my heart and eyes. It is understandable that young people are sentimental and it is okay for them to spend money on her, but you can't lose your mind and ignore everything, right?

Fang Chengyu looked at Mrs. Fang without panicking or panicking.

"Mother, don't think like that." He said, with some seriousness, "Don't the lives of our family exist because of her? If she is gone, we will also be gone, so we coexist and live together, not give up for her."

Mrs. Fang looked at him.

Does this count?

Is this how things have to be?

She saved their lives, so they have to pay her back endlessly?

"This can't be said to be repayment or debt. I think she is the lucky star of our family. You see, since she came, my illness has been cured and my enemies have been defeated. Mother, she and we have shared fortune and misfortune. We must do our utmost to save her life, because that is also doing our utmost to save our own lives." Fang Chengyu continued, with a sincere expression.

Mrs. Fang looked at him for a moment.

"Don't try to fool me with these big principles. Do you dare to say that you don't do this because of her, or that you don't like her?" she said.

Fang Chengyu nodded.

"Of course I like her, mother," he said, somewhat shyly and frankly.

Mrs. Fang finished her words.

"Then why did you take the initiative to say that your marriage with her was a fake one?" she said.

"Because it was a fake marriage." Fang Chengyu said with a sincere expression, "Because I really like her, I let everyone know that it was a fake marriage before, and then one day I will marry her for real."

That's what he originally thought.

Mrs. Fang looked at Fang Chengyu with mixed feelings.

"You..." she said.

Old Mrs. Fang, who had been silent all the time, interrupted her.

"Okay, I get it," she said.

Mrs. Fang and Fang Chengyu both looked at her.

"Give her the imperial edict." Old Mrs. Fang stood up and said.

Fang Chengyu smiled, while Mrs. Fang looked a little anxious.

"Mother," she said, disapprovingly.

"If it were you, would you give up the name Jiulingtang?" Old Mrs. Fang looked at her and asked.

Mrs. Fang was stunned.

"We have been through so much hardship and suffering for so many years, have you ever thought about giving up?" asked Old Mrs. Fang.

Mrs. Fang put her hand on her chest, looking somewhat sad.

"I have thought about it," she said.

At that time, I wanted more than once to just take poison and die with Chengyu, so that I wouldn't have to be so tired and in so much pain.

"But you didn't give up." Mrs. Fang said, "Why?"

Mrs. Fang pressed her hand to her chest and smiled slowly.

"Because I'm unwilling to give up," she said.

"Yes, I am unwilling to accept it." Old Lady Fang said, "Why should we give in? It's all because of the name. We have to give up."

She waved her hand at Fang Chengyu.

"Go, take the imperial edict and place it in the Jiuling Hall. God will not deceive people, and people should not try to deceive others."

A smile appeared in Fang Chengyu's eyes. He smiled at Old Lady Fang, then turned around and ran away happily like a child.

Isn't this just some kid's nonsense?

Mrs. Fang had a complicated expression.

"Just like Chengyu said, there was no grudge before, but because of this name, there is no other way now." Mrs. Fang said, patting Mrs. Fang's hand, "No matter what the Jiulingtang is called, Jun Zhenzhen is our family. If she gets into trouble, we can't escape. Saving others is saving ourselves. Don't think about those petty emotions."

Mrs. Fang was somewhat helpless.

"But won't Chengyu be distracted by this?" she said.

Old Mrs. Fang smiled and clapped her hands.

The maid outside heard and understood what was said, and immediately signaled the troupe to go back on stage, and also called the maids to gather again.

"How can it be said that the thought is in vain?" Old Madam Fang said with a smile, "As long as you put in the thought, it exists, it is happy, and it is worth it. However, it is pathetic if the thought is just unexpressed. Our Chengyu is not the kind of child who indulges in petty love affairs."

This means that I am too indulged in trivial love affairs. Mrs. Fang smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, then let him be."

"Mother, are we still going to perform this show?" she asked, looking at the troupe waiting for instructions on the stage.

"No." Mrs. Fang said, sitting down on the chair, "Change to the single-wood pass."

The maids quickly responded with "yes" and told the play that was about to be performed on the stage.

There was a sound of gongs and drums on the stage.

"...under the moon, the hero's courage was shattered, and returning to his hometown was full of difficulties..."

"...I have no grudge against that Marshal, why would he do that to me for no reason?"

The high-pitched voices echoed in the stage garden, and in the distance, laughing girls kept running towards us.

In late autumn, there was no sign of sadness in the Fang family mansion; instead, the place was bustling and joyful.

The Ning family in Beiliu Town is also celebrating in late autumn.

The harvest this year is good, the family shop business is also good, Ning Yan in the capital has also brought more accurate news, and next year's college entrance examination is getting closer, which also means that Ning Yunzhao is getting closer to being on the list of successful candidates.

This is truly a festive and joyful season.

The young girls were crowded in the inner room, sitting around eating roasted beans, the Ning family's sisters-in-law were playing cards around the table, maids were running around serving tea and snacks, and laughter could be heard from time to time in the room.

“…Hey, there’s something even funnier. Have you heard about what happened to Jun Zhenzhen in the capital?” a woman suddenly said.

If it was the previous paragraph, this name was not allowed to be mentioned by Lady Ning, but this time she spoke without being stopped by any hint.

"What happened to her now?" Madam Ning San threw a card in her hand and asked with a smile.

"She caused Captain Lu of the Imperial Guard and the Prince of Chengguo to fight for her in the capital." The woman said in a low voice.

Madam Ning Si chuckled and held the cards in her hand.

"Look at what she is like, she is so powerful." She laughed.

"Madam, don't think this little girl is just average looking. Some girls are just average looking, but they are able to attract people." The woman said hurriedly, while clicking her tongue twice, "She is really capable, to be able to attract these two people."

"What kind of ability is this?" Mrs. Ning San said disdainfully, "It's shameful. She has ruined her father's good reputation."

"That's not much of a skill. Those two..." Madam Ning Si said with a half-smile, "They just have the same taste as each other."

Although she didn't say it explicitly, everyone present knew what she meant.

Although to the people, Duke Cheng is a great hero for defending his country, Prince Zhu is also a great hero.

But for officials and nobles, their views naturally come from different starting points.

Duke Cheng was abusing his power and being self-centered, while Prince Zhu was arrogant and lawless.

Although the nature is different, it is not much better than Lu Yunqi, a hawk-clawed lackey.

Mrs. Ning San smiled and nodded in agreement.

"That's right." She said, "Otherwise, even if she kept pestering our Yun Zhao, Yun Zhao wouldn't even look at her."

Madam Ning coughed lightly and put down the cards in her hand.

"The children are in there, don't talk about such nonsense," she said.

The woman smiled and replied yes.

"Our Tenth Young Master is a nobody. Of course he can't be compared with those people. After the New Year, we will wait for the good news," she said.

Madam Ning smiled without saying anything and put down a card in her hand.

"Oh, Madam, you are crazy." The woman leaned over and laughed, "*."

Madam Ning San and Madam Ning Si both put down their cards.

"Oh, how come sister-in-law won again?"

"Sister-in-law's luck is getting better and better."

"No, I want to switch places with my sister-in-law."

Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere in the room became more cheerful.

Madam Ning still had a friendly smile on her face. She also felt that her luck was getting better and better, probably since Jun Zhenzhen left Yangcheng.

Let's make a fuss. She has ruined her reputation in the capital. From now on, people will no longer mention her in relation to their son when they mention her.

Her son is the best and should not be tainted in the slightest.
