After the divorce, I wanted to give up, but the Prime Minister took me into his arms in the street

Guo's face suddenly darkened, and she said sternly, "Don't lose your mind! Your cousin is already a married man. Even if you marry him, you can only be a concubine. That is the worst choice."

"There are so many noble families in the capital. If you can find a good man, won't you enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future? Why bother to hang yourself on a tree?" Guo said earnestly.

However, Zhang Xiyue was as stubborn as ever: "I don't want to marry anyone except my cousin!"

Hearing this, Guo was furious. "If you dare to make trouble, I will immediately send you back to Huazhi's hometown, so that you will never have the chance to get close to your cousin again in this life!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Xiyue's face turned pale, and she was obviously afraid of her mother's decision.

"Then you should be obedient and seize today's opportunity. If you can use this opportunity to climb up to the powerful, it will be the most fortunate thing in your life."

Zhang Xiyue heard her mother's advice, and although she was unwilling, she had no choice.

As Guo's mother and daughter were leaving, they were stopped by the doorman in a hurry: "Mrs. Guo, please stay. There is a man named Guo Zhengwen outside the door. He said he has something urgent to discuss with you."

Guo Zhengwen?

This name exploded in Guo's heart like a thunderbolt.

Isn’t that her younger brother who always makes trouble at critical moments?

She frowned slightly and said to the doorman with a slightly unhappy look, "Tell him that I don't have time to see him now. Let him go home first. We can talk about it tomorrow."

The doorman quickly understood Guo's intention and responded respectfully.

Here, Ling Mo turned around and wore a simple and elegant brocade dress with a tassel tied around her waist.

She walked calmly and just as she entered the flower hall, she ran into Fu Yansheng's colleagues unexpectedly.

Among them, the most eye-catching one was the man in gorgeous clothes.

The current Prince of Chu, the younger brother of the current emperor, holds a very noble status.

Fu Yansheng was wearing a dark-colored brocade robe with dark patterns, and his gentle and refined temperament complemented his elegant and handsome face.

He noticed Ling Mohui's appearance and immediately stepped forward to introduce her, "Mohui, this is Prince Chu, come over and say hello."

Ling Mohui heard the voice, then smiled slightly, bowed gracefully, and said, "Hello, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing the voice, Prince Chu's gaze lingered on Ling Mohui for a moment, with admiration revealed in his eyes.

He nodded slightly, his tone gentle but powerful: "Madam Fu, I heard that you just recovered from your sickbed recently, but you don't seem to be tired at all. Instead, you are actively preparing for the family mother's birthday banquet. This filial piety is rare."

"Your Highness, you are too kind. This is within my job responsibilities and I dare not claim credit for it." Ling Mo replied with a smile.

It is almost hard to believe that this is the same willful woman of the past.

Fu Yansheng stared at her from the side. Since they got married, he had never heard anyone praise Ling Mohui like this.

Ling Mohui made a timely and enthusiastic invitation: "Prince Chu, please come in. I just happened to brew a pot of Longjing tea. The method of brewing tea is learned from studying ancient books. Although I dare not compare it with professional tea masters, I have also poured my heart into it. I wonder if you would like to do me the honor of tasting it?"

Fu Yansheng followed closely behind, lowering his voice with a hint of reproach: "Ling Mohui, how dare you leave your mother's side without permission and come here to disturb us? Prince Chu is of such status, what kind of fine tea has he not tasted? How dare you show off your rudimentary tea-making skills in front of him?"

Ling Mohui didn't care about it. She rolled her eyes in her heart but kept a calm expression on her face.

She took the exquisite teacup handed to her by the maid, moved lightly with lotus steps, and placed the teacup steadily on the carved tea table next to Prince Chu.

Fu Yansheng was thinking about how to resolve the situation, but he saw Ling Mohui also handed him a cup of tea and whispered, "Husband, how about you try this tea too?"

He took it absentmindedly, keeping a polite smile on his face, "Your Highness, my tea-making skills are far from comparable to those of the palace tea masters. I hope you will forgive me and not make fun of me."

Upon hearing this, Prince Chu just smiled calmly and lowered his head to sip the wine carefully.

Seeing this, Fu Yansheng could only bite the bullet and raise his glass to take a sip.

However, as soon as he took a bite, his brows instantly relaxed.

He glanced at Prince Chu secretly, only to see that he was also immersed in the fragrance of tea.

Fu Yansheng put down his teacup and decided to change the subject, discussing state affairs in depth with Prince Chu.

Ling Mohui stood quietly aside, seemingly listening attentively, but in fact her mind was elsewhere, and she was thinking about when she could find an excuse to escape.

At this moment, the concierge's voice came from outside the door: "Madam, there is a man named Guo Zhengwen who claims that if he doesn't see you, he will go to the government office to report the case."

"Guo Zhengwen?" When Ling Mohui heard the name, her eyes flashed slightly. In just a moment, she found bits of information about this person deep in her memory.

She had a sudden thought and roughly guessed the purpose of Guo Zhengwen's visit.

This person was Guo Zhengwen, the younger brother of the Guo family. Three years ago, the eldest sister of the Guo family brought him all the way to the capital to seek help from Zhang.

Zhang has always been kind-hearted. Although this move was a bit excessive, she still felt compassion and placed Guo Zhengwen in a manor under the name of the Fu family as a manager.

The book described in detail that Guo Zhengwen acted recklessly and bullied the weak in the manor, and his evil deeds had long made everyone grit their teeth.

Eventually, the conflict escalated to an irreconcilable point, and a petition was sent directly to the government, almost implicating Zhang.

Fortunately, Fu Yansheng acted in time and, with his extraordinary skills, helped Zhang escape from the turmoil unscathed.

However, these things were supposed to happen after Ling Zhiyun's return, but now they are happening right before our eyes.

If it weren't for that past event, what exactly was Guo Zhengwen's intention in suddenly visiting at this moment?

Ling Mohui showed doubt on her face and asked the doorman, "Is he alone?"

The concierge responded, "That's not the case. He also brought a group of young men with him. Judging from Guo Zhengwen's appearance, it seems that he did not come here voluntarily. It seems that he was forcibly escorted here."

When Ling Mo heard this, her heart tightened and she had a bad feeling that this was going to be a bad thing.

She quickly approached Fu Yansheng and whispered in his ear: "There seems to be something going on outside the door. I'll go find out what it is."

Fu Yansheng's face was slightly gloomy. At the moment, he was accompanying a distinguished guest and could not leave immediately.

After weighing the pros and cons, he nodded in agreement and let Ling Mohui deal with it first.

Ling Mohui immediately apologized to Prince Chu: "The mansion is a little understaffed, and there may be omissions. I need to take care of it myself. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Prince Chu smiled heartily and waved his hand, "Go quickly and come back quickly, don't miss the important matter."

After Ling Mohui left, Prince Chu praised sincerely: "The wife of Prime Minister Fu is both capable and virtuous. She is really a great blessing for the Fu family."

Fu Yansheng's heart was in turmoil, and he wondered to himself, can Ling Mohui handle the turmoil outside on her own?

Ling Mohui followed the doorman and hurried to the west gate. Before she got close, she heard a commotion outside the gate: "We beg Prime Minister Fu to do us justice!"
