After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

In Li Dazhao's Weiyang Palace.

A woman with a full head of white hair was sitting quietly on a chaise lounge, embroidering. Her movements were clean and neat, and the butterflies on the handkerchief she embroidered were lifelike and very beautiful.

Look closely, and you'll see that her ankles are firmly chained together, with the other end of the chain nailed tightly to the wall...

At this moment, the man standing outside the door frowned and asked the palace maid beside him, "Does she do these things every day?"

"Yes, Her Majesty has nothing to do, so she does embroidery every day, or embroiders clothes for the Fifth Prince!"

The man looked at her with lingering affection, sighed softly, and then stepped inside.

Hearing the man's footsteps, the woman did not move and continued to work methodically.

"I found Yizhou... He's in Daqi now!"

"..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman stopped what she was doing. A glimmer of light appeared in her previously lifeless eyes, but it quickly returned to its original state.

She spoke softly, her voice slightly hoarse, "How is he doing?"

Seeing that she finally spoke to him, Fu Chenchu ​​happily curled up the corners of his lips, his phoenix eyes, which were very similar to Fu Jingyuan's, lifted up, and he felt an indescribable excitement in his heart.

"He was saved by Ye Rushi back then, and now he is the eldest son of the Ye family. People who inquired said that his life was not good before, but it is much better now. He is also in love with Ye Zhenyu's daughter, and good things are coming soon!"

A soft light appeared in Wu Xuan'er's eyes as she lowered them: "Since he has a new identity there, let him live a good life there!"

The court is in chaos right now, with princes secretly vying for power and various families each siding with one side. Even if Fu Jingyuan returns, his life won't be much better; instead, he'll be drawn into the power struggle for the throne.

"Xuan'er, I know you hate me, but I will definitely bring Yizhou back. I will not only make sure he is well, but I will also help him clear away obstacles and pass the throne to him!"

Seeing that he was still so stubborn, the starlight in Wu Xuan'er's eyes was gradually extinguished.

"He has his own path; not everyone wants to be in your position!"

Fu Chenchu ​​leaned down to look at her: "No! You're wrong, no one would not want to!"

At this point, his eyes softened and his voice deepened: "Once Yizhou returns, our family can be reunited and won't have to be separated anymore!"

Seeing that he was still so obsessed, Wu Xuan'er knew that she couldn't change his mind, so she suppressed her emotions, lowered her head and continued what she was doing.

"..."

Fu Chenchu ​​did not disturb her anymore. Instead, he sat quietly beside her as usual, gazing at her stunning beauty. Even after a long time, he was still attracted to her as always!

……

Ye Xiaoran actually came to the general's mansion to deliver an imperial decree.

When he saw Fu Jingyuan come out, his eyes darkened. He hadn't expected that Fu Jingyuan was the new top scholar who had stood out from the crowd. He was quite surprised when his father told him about it at first.

……

After Xuan finished reading the imperial edict, he handed it to Fu Jingyuan: "Congratulations, Young Master Fu, and congratulations to the General's Mansion for raising such a great scholar! It's truly a cause for celebration!"

Ye Zhenyu waved his hand: "Thank you very much. I hope the Third Prince will come to my residence for a drink later!"

Ye Xiaoran completed his mission and did not linger. He looked up at Ye Zhuxi and saw that all her attention was on Fu Jingyuan, and she could not see anyone else.

He frowned, and said somewhat displeasedly, "I'll take my leave now!"

After everyone left, Ye Zhuxi clapped her hands excitedly: "Big brother, you're amazing!"

She seemed even happier than Fu Jingyuan himself. If there weren't other people around, she would have loved to kiss him.

Fu Jingyuan's expression was very indifferent, and his eyes revealed no emotion.

Ye Zhenyu was also pleased. He patted Fu Jingyuan on the shoulder and said, "I never thought our General's Mansion could produce a top scholar. I thought they were all just swordsmen and spearmen!"

Ye Zhuxi wrinkled her nose: "Father, my eldest brother has worked very hard for this imperial examination, so we should reward him properly!"

"Of course, now that the General's Mansion has produced a top scholar, I must throw a grand banquet!"

Seeing Ye Zhuxi smiling happily, Madam Gu sighed helplessly. Her daughter was biased towards outsiders, and she couldn't stop her. So, this was the only way.

……

In no time, the news of Fu Jingyuan's top score in the imperial examination spread throughout the capital, and everyone with a discerning eye came to congratulate him.

Li Wenyue followed her father to the general's mansion. She looked up at Fu Jingyuan, a smirk playing on her lips, her gaze bold and passionate.

Congratulations, Young Master Fu!

Fu Jingyuan pursed his lips and nodded slightly, not paying much attention to her.

Unlike the other guests who came to offer their congratulations, Li Wenyue did not go inside to drink. Instead, she went to Fu Jingyuan's side and stood with him outside the door to greet the guests.

Upon seeing her, the visitor couldn't help but tease, "The General's Mansion is about to have double happiness!"

"Absolutely! A talented woman paired with a top scholar—a perfect match!"

In an instant, the news of their affair spread throughout the entire Ye family mansion.

Ye Zhuxi, who was greeting guests, heard the news and came over to see Li Wenyue smiling brightly at Fu Jingyuan. Fu Jingyuan, who usually didn't like to talk, would occasionally reply to her. The two of them looked so well-matched!

"That's Li Wenyue, the most talented woman in the capital! She seems to be a perfect match for the eldest son of the General's Mansion!"

Hearing the envious voices around her, Ye Zhuxi's eyes reddened with sadness. When she saw Fu Jingyuan looking at her, she turned and ran away angrily.

Fu Jingyuan didn't know why, even though he told himself not to care about her, he still couldn't see her shed tears. Without thinking, he picked up his foot and chased after her.

"Fu Jingyuan!"

Seeing him walk away, Li Wenyue's face instantly stiffened.

Ye Zhuxi ran to the backyard in one breath. There was no one else there. She sat blankly on the stone bench. The thought that Fu Jingyuan would have a relationship with another woman made her feel sad.

When Fu Jingyuan arrived, he saw that her eyes were already filled with tears, her nose was red, and she looked so pitiful.

He walked closer and bent down to look at her: "What's wrong?"

The moment Ye Zhuxi saw him, her disappointment reached its peak. She hugged Fu Jingyuan tightly and buried her head in his neck.

Fu Jingyuan felt a warm, damp sensation on her neck, and his heart ached. He gently patted her back and asked again in a softer tone, "What's wrong?"

It took Ye Zhuxi a long time to calm down, and when she finally let go of him, her eyes were already red and swollen from crying.

"Big brother, let's go and talk to Father. He'll definitely agree to our marriage!"

Fu Jingyuan nodded: "Okay, whatever you say!"

Looking at the tenderness in his eyes, Ye Zhuxi smiled. She was really stupid; she had actually suspected that Fu Jingyuan had changed.

Seeing her cry tears of joy, the man reached out and pinched her rosy cheeks.

At that moment, they could only see each other and no one else.

In the distance, Li Wenyue, who had witnessed everything, clenched her fists, her face contorted with anger.

She knew it! No wonder Fu Jingyuan didn't like her; he was seduced by that bitch Ye Zhuxi!
