My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

At this moment, some people snapped out of their shock and exclaimed, "You're amazing, sir!"

Once someone took the lead, the rest joined in the commotion. Some shouted that Lord Ji was incredibly powerful, while others asked who those who had caused the disturbance were. Some touched their chests in lingering fear, saying they hadn't noticed anything amiss with these people beforehand.

The scene was noisy, with all sorts of things being said.

Ji Yunshuang raised her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

After everyone calmed down, he said, "The one who tried to assassinate me was a spy from the Qi army. Don't panic. All the Qi army spies hidden in Jingyang City have been captured."

Upon hearing that it was the Qi army, everyone was furious.

But upon hearing that Ji Yunshuang had already arrested all the spies of the Qi army, everyone shouted that they should join forces with Lord Ji, kill the Qi dogs, and drive them out of the Great Zhou...

"Here, I solemnly assure you all that I will drive the Qi army out of the territory of my Great Zhou and recover all the lost cities."

One day, I will ensure that foreign bandits will never dare to invade our land again. I will ensure that everyone on this land can live in peace and prosperity…

Everyone was moved by her words.

But not many people believed it.

Every word she uttered was like an unfulfilled dream.

How could it be easy to drive out the Qi army and reclaim all the cities lost by the Great Zhou?

Not to mention ensuring that foreign powers will never dare to invade the territory of the Great Zhou, and allowing everyone on this land to live in peace and prosperity!

This was probably the grand ambition of every emperor! But none of them were able to realize it.

This is crazy!

……

Even Ji Yunshuang's subordinates secretly wondered, "Has their master gone mad?"

How could someone say such arrogant things? Make such a promise?

After today, her words will surely spread throughout the country and become a hot topic of discussion.

If we fail to drive away the Qi army and reclaim the city, wouldn't that be a slap in our own face?

And what she said...

Whether it's Prince Rui or the young emperor in the capital who hears this, they probably won't tolerate her anymore...

While this may be inspiring, it's really not a good method.

Ji Yunshuang knew that no one believed her, and some even thought she was crazy. She had anticipated their reaction and wasn't worried.

She didn't make these boastful remarks on a whim. The people's reactions to her words were the result of careful consideration.

She said, "Of course, it's not something I can do all by myself."

"This requires the joint efforts of all of you."

"Only when we work together with one heart and one mind and move towards the same goal can we achieve twice the result with half the effort."

……

Although many people felt that Ji Yunshuang was too arrogant and that everything she said was too difficult and impossible to do.

But most of the people present were filled with excitement.

Upon hearing Ji Yunshuang's words, everyone cheered. Some shouted, "Long live Lord Ji! Lord Ji will surely drive away the Qi dogs and restore a peaceful and prosperous home for everyone!"

Some people said that from now on they would obey Ji Yunshuang's orders and do whatever she asked them to do.

Guo Xiaofei and other business owners also stepped forward, offering to donate money and food, expressing their willingness to unconditionally support Ji Yunshuang.

Fu Jiayou, hidden in the crowd, heard these people pledging their loyalty one by one, and he was so angry that he almost couldn't control the expression on his face.

These people... are such ingrates!

The Prince Xuan's Mansion has protected them for so many years, yet they show no gratitude whatsoever and turn to the rebels!

The rebels only said a few nice words, and they immediately jumped out, donating money and grain.

He didn't believe that the Ji family could really drive away the Qi army and reclaim the city.

This is nothing more than a tactic employed by those in power.

It's a wonder that these self-proclaimed clever businessmen couldn't even see through this little trick.

Fu Jiayou secretly grumbled in his heart, but he only dared to grumble in his heart and dared not do anything else.

He was terrified that he might end up like the group of assassins he had just encountered.

To conceal his identity, he even had to suppress his hatred for Ji Yunshuang and take out a sum of money to pretend to support her.

What he didn't expect was that his identity would be exposed in public. He had clearly disguised himself, and so many people hadn't recognized him, so how did they recognize him?

Before he could figure it out, Lu Yinheng repeated what he had said earlier.

"Thank you, Young Master Fu Jiayou, for your love and care for the people affected by the disaster, donating 30,000 taels of silver and 50,000 catties of grain."

Lu Yinheng picked up his pen, made a few notes in his notebook, and then looked at Fu Jiayou and said, "Second Young Master Fu, please write this down first, and we'll send someone over later?"

Many merchants had only planned to donate a small amount of money and food as a token gesture. After seeing the wild potatoes at the banquet, they decided to befriend Ji Yunshuang and leave a good impression on her.

This led to the emergence of a completely new donation model.

Let me state the total donation amount. I'll give you some now, and the rest will be sent over gradually.

Since many businesses operate this way, no one thought it was wrong when Lu Yinheng asked this question.

What shocked people even more than the amount of the donation was that Fu Jiayou actually came in person.

What does it mean?

So, the previous rumors were all true? Prince Xuan's death had absolutely nothing to do with Lord Ji; Prince Xuan did indeed die by hanging himself due to illness. Otherwise, Lord Ji would be Fu Jiayou's father's killer.

Faced with his father's killer, instead of finding a way to kill her and avenge his father, Fu Jiayou attends the banquet she hosts at the Prince's Mansion? He even donates money to help people in disaster areas?

The scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; everyone was watching Fu Jiayou.

At this moment, Fu Jiayou no longer cared about how he had been recognized.

What shocked him even more was the amount of donation Lu Yinheng mentioned.

He had just intended to donate some money and food to avoid arousing suspicion about his identity, but he had no intention of donating this much money.

He's not crazy. Ji Yunshuang led her people to occupy the Xuan Prince's Mansion and seized Jingzhou. Instead of killing her, he came to donate so much money and grain to her and help her consolidate her political achievements...

However, Lu Yinheng had just called out his identity and loudly announced the money and grain he was going to donate, and now everyone was watching him, leaving him with no way to refute it.

Even knowing it was their conspiracy, their tactic, he could still grit his teeth and accept it.

He said, "I came in a hurry today. I only have three thousand taels with me. The rest will be sent to your residence in a few days."

As soon as Fu Jiayou finished speaking, whispers arose from the crowd.

Some people said that they hadn't misjudged him; given Lord Ji's character, how could he possibly do the things of a traitor?

King Xuan's death was indeed unrelated to her.

Some speculate that perhaps King Xuan knew he was incompetent, so he abdicated and invited Ji Yunshuang to manage Huijing Prefecture.

Otherwise, how could the Prince of Xuan's son have such a good relationship with Ji Yunshuang? He attended the banquet hosted by Ji Yunshuang and fully supported him.

Fu Jiayou faintly heard people talking, and a metallic taste rose in his throat. He almost couldn't hold it in and spat out a mouthful of blood!

Are all these people idiots?

What? His father knew he wasn't capable of managing Jingzhou, so he asked Ji Yunshuang to do it for him? How could his father do something so stupid?

What do you mean he has a good relationship with the Ji family!

Could it be that he was set up?

Of course, not everyone had doubts about this matter. And some of the whispers in the crowd were actually paid trolls that Ji Yunshuang had secretly arranged after learning in advance that Fu Jiayou was attending the banquet.

Using online trolls to manipulate public opinion.

In this world, only a small minority of people possess independent thinking abilities and are not easily swayed by others' opinions. Many people's thinking is actually easily misled.

Seeing the situation developing in the direction they had anticipated, Lu Yinheng's expression became increasingly sincere.

He praised Fu Jiayou highly for his donation, showering him with compliments.

This compliment made Fu Jiayou resentful, but he had no choice but to agree with Lu Yinheng.

He can't very well contradict himself!
