Chapter 223 Uninvited Guests

But Yun Fushang didn't mean that, so she just smiled politely in the direction of the gaze.

"I wonder why Lord Yun came here this time?" Smart people know that they can take advantage of the banquet to find out what they need.

Yun Fushang smiled slightly: "Since you were sent by His Majesty, there must be some important things that cannot be revealed."

"So, do you think it's convenient for me to reveal it?"

As he spoke, he smiled in embarrassment: "We, as ministers, are only here to receive the emperor's salary and share his worries. Is there anything else we can do?"

People around felt that although Yun Fushang was a favorite of His Majesty, she also had many unspeakable secrets. If they really had to say it, her life was the kind of life where she had to worry about her belt.

If you are not careful, the emperor will be angry, and millions of people will be killed and blood will flow for thousands of miles!

Many people also came forward to introduce their own sons, praising them to the point of exaggeration, but were all stopped by Li Yunlin:

"Everyone, although General Yun is unmarried, he still has a king above him!"

"If your majesty knew that General Yun was not a good wife, then your majesty would have arranged his marriage for him. Don't you agree?"

Everyone felt that Li Yunlin's analysis made sense, and it was indeed true.

After all, Yun Fushang is the person in front of His Majesty. If he wants to keep her company or do something else, he must offer her a marriage to express his love for the minister.

I'm afraid that even the wealthy families in Qingzhou are unlikely to be a match for General Shang Yun, so it's better to give up the idea as soon as possible.

Zhou Xuan also greeted the guests: "If there is anything wrong, please tell me."

Before he married Ming Heyuan, he was just the unfavored eldest son in the family. His mother favored the servants' sons and ignored him, which led to him being sensitive and never competitive since childhood.

Therefore, only after marrying Ming and Yuan did she begin to let go of herself a little.

"What's wrong?" Ming Heyuan reacted quickly and immediately noticed that her husband's face had changed slightly. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhou Xuan shook his head: "My Lord, don't worry, it's okay."

Even this marriage was given to him because the illegitimate son didn't want her anymore. Fortunately, Ming Heyuan was a woman worthy of trust. Now he has children around him, which has truly fulfilled his dream since childhood.

Find a good man, support your husband and raise your children, live in harmony with each other, and grow old together.

Ming Heyuan lowered his eyebrows and said gently: "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me, don't bear it alone."

Zhou Xuan nodded, which made Li Yunlin extremely jealous!

Originally, she had no intention of spying on the happy and joyful lives of her good sisters, but now, she felt like a dog on the street that had been kicked by someone!

"No way, Master Ming, you two still have a time for love!" Li Yunlin said sourly, "I don't know when I can get a husband like Mr. Zhou for the rest of my life~"

Yun Fushang couldn't help laughing. Li Yunlin was trying to shame Ming and Yuan in every word.

Ming Heyuan grabbed her husband's slender waist and said, "He is my husband. Isn't it normal for me to care about him?"

The people around couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Ming really loves her husband very much, just like the rumors say!"

The married young husbands were naturally envious of such a relationship. Lord Ming had no servants, and there was only Lord Ming in charge of the rear house. He did not have to worry about any house fights, nor would he be jealous of the servants sharing his favor or having children and taking away the Ming family's property.

It turns out that people’s blessings are fixed!

This kind of blessing cannot be obtained even if you ask for it!

Those young men who are not married are also looking forward to meeting a female general like Yun Fushang. It would be a great blessing from their ancestors. They all seem to be loyal, so wouldn't it make any difference who they marry?

"The Zhou family from Huai'an County has arrived—"

The Zhou family is not of high status, but Ming Heyuan still sent an invitation. It is up to her to come or not. If she doesn't come, she, as a daughter-in-law, will have fulfilled her filial duty.

Originally, the banquet had already started, and Ming and Yuan didn't expect the Zhou family to come.

Ming Heyuan's waist trembled. She was very careful and took Zhou Xuan's hand directly:

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

Zhou Xuan held her hand tightly, with a look of trust and relaxation on his face: "I know."

They smiled at each other.

This time, Zhou Yun, the head of the Zhou family, came with his husband Zheng and his maid Sun, and they were followed by many illegitimate children.

Zheng had only one child, Zhou Xuan, who was already married. Logically, the Zhou family was just a small business family. If Zhou Xuan had not married Ming Heyuan, Zheng would have been old and ugly, and would have had a hard time.

Zhou Xuan is now a qualified wife of a prefect. Seeing Zheng coming, she couldn't help but miss her:

"Father."

He took up his mother's hands with both hands, and then said to Zhou Yun calmly:

"Thank you, father and mother, for your hard work along the way."

Zhou Yun's expression was indifferent: "It's not hard. Now that you're married, it's hard for you to go home often. Naturally, you don't know the situation at home."

"Business is not going well now, and the marriages of your two younger brothers should be put on the agenda. After all, your Sun Xiaolang is in poor health. Since you have married well, you can also make some plans for your two younger brothers."

Zhou Yun's voice was cold, as if it was what Zhou Xuan should do.

Zheng's face looked somewhat frightened. She dared not to argue and looked at her son with pity.

Beside Sun were his two children, one named Zhou Ke and the other named Zhou Xin.

Her face still retained its youthful beauty, but her eyes were filled with complacency.

Zhou Xuan was in such an indifferent situation, and naturally felt very upset, but how could he just ignore his own father?

If I refuse, I'm afraid my father will have a hard time at home from now on.

But if I agree, it will definitely be another trouble.

Although Ming and Yuan were talking to Yun Fushang, Li Yunlin and other guests, they were observing what was happening around them from time to time.

Seeing Zhou Xuan's originally happy and lively expression suddenly change, he immediately stepped forward:

"Mother-in-law." Ming Heyuan went straight over and put his hands on Zhou Xuan's waist again, then said respectfully to Zheng:

"Father-in-law."

When Zheng heard that her daughter-in-law respected her so much, she didn't know what to say, but her eyes were slightly red.

"My husband usually speaks softly, why did you start lecturing Xuan'er right away?" Ming Heyuan said in a cold voice, "Xuan'er is already the father of several children, what does you mean by this, mother-in-law?"

"Is it for my wife's sake?"

These words are very serious. If you don’t know, you might think that the Zhou family doesn’t value a prefect’s daughter-in-law!
