After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

"Clap~"

Still not satisfied, Mu Zichen slapped Ye Fuyao hard across the face again, instantly swelling her cheek.

"You cheated on someone, you deserve to be beaten!"

"You're absolutely right, you shameless bastard!"

Hearing the insults and mockery from the crowd, Ye Fuyao suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha"

"You bitch, how dare you laugh?" Mu Zichen was furious and slapped her on the other side of her face.

Ye Zhuxi raised her eyes and glared at him fiercely, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

"Mu Zichen, you yourself are infertile, but that doesn't mean I can't find someone else?"

"If you were a man, you would have gotten me pregnant as soon as possible, and I wouldn't have bothered with that good-for-nothing Zhang Xuan!"

Her words directly confirmed Mu Zichen's rumor.

Everyone cast strange glances at him.

"What a shameless woman! She dares to cheat on her husband and act so self-righteous!" Mother Mu's chest heaved with anger, and she trembled as her maid supported her.

Ye Fuyao was no longer afraid. She slowly spoke to Mu's mother, who was still quite angry, "You old woman, you did the same thing. For your son's future, you made her seduce Ye Zhuxi. Ye Zhuxi didn't fall for it and then hooked up with Zhang Lingyue. You two are truly a pair of good mother and son. You've done all sorts of cruel and disgusting things!"

Mu Zichen glared at Ye Fuyao through gritted teeth, his forehead veins bulging with anger.

"Ye Fuyao, don't make false accusations. What has our Mu family ever done to wrong you that you're retaliating against us like this..."

Hearing this, Ye Fuyao was amused: "You know what, the most hateful one is you, Mu Zichen. You are the least qualified person to scold me!"

"You know perfectly well that your mother looks down on me and makes things difficult for me all the time. Not only do you not help me, but you also make me endure everything. Zhang Lingyue is no better. She relies on her powerful father to make me suffer. How dare you say that the Mu family has treated me well!"

"Your Mu family deserves to be reduced to the point of having no descendants!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Mother Mu, her voice trembling, ordered the servants, "Why aren't you taking this wretched woman away right now!"

……

Early the next morning.

The Mu family has once again become the laughing stock of the entire capital. The fact that Mu Zichen is infertile is now common knowledge throughout the city.

When Ye Zhuxi heard the news, she didn't feel particularly gloating. At this moment, she was most worried about her father and Fu Jingyuan. For some reason, she had been feeling irritable in her chest lately and had nightmares all night long.

Seeing that she was absent-minded all day, He Ye patted her back with concern and comforted her, "Miss, don't worry too much. I heard from the old nannies that women tend to overthink when they are pregnant. Actually, there's nothing wrong. Just focus on taking care of yourself. When Fu Jingyuan comes back, you two can be together sweetly again!"

Hearing He Ye's comforting words, Ye Zhuxi forced a smile, trying to reassure herself that she might really be overthinking things!

Northland.

The deal had already been agreed upon, but for some reason, Da Zhao suddenly launched a fierce attack on the northern region.

"General, the troops that the deputy general led to the negotiations have been detained by Dazhao, and some farmers in the north have also been arrested. I wonder what Dazhao is up to this time!"

Ye Zhenyu frowned deeply, picked up his armor, and angrily walked out.

"Uncle!"

Fu Jingyuan walked over at that moment.

Upon seeing him, Ye Zhenyu hurriedly instructed, "Da Zhao is acting crazy right now. You must quickly take your men back to the capital and tell the Emperor that I will go and hold them off to prevent them from harming the common people in the north!"

Fu Jingyuan knew Ye Zhenyu's character. He pursed his lips, feeling somewhat hesitant.

"what happened?"

Seeing that he was still not leaving, Ye Zhenyu turned around and looked at him: "If you're worried about not being able to get out of the North, I'll have Zhou Er escort you back!"

Tuesday is Ye Zhenyu's right-hand man, and I feel most at ease having him escort me.

"..."

Fu Jingyuan opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Remembering his mother waiting anxiously for him, he could only grit his teeth and say, "No need. I heard that Dazhao came prepared this time, so I wanted to come and remind Uncle to be careful and not get into any trouble. Ruoruo is still waiting for you at home!"

"Go back and tell Ruoruo that I will definitely return safely!" Ye Zhenyu patted Fu Jingyuan on the shoulder, then turned and walked resolutely toward the battlefield.

Watching his resolute back, Fu Jingyuan lowered his eyes in shame, not daring to look at him again.

Da Zhao had already prepared everything, just waiting for Ye Zhenyu to walk into his trap.

When he arrived at the battlefield, all he could hear were the shouts of the soldiers. He looked up and saw that the soldiers of Daqi had been almost completely wiped out.

"Ye Zhenyu, it's been a long time!"

In the distance, among Da Zhao's army, a man was drawing his bow and aiming it at Ye Zhenyu.

……

In August, which is supposed to be the hottest season, Ye Zhuxi suddenly felt very cold. She couldn't even hold her paintbrush steady and it fell to the ground with a thud.

She was very flustered. She bent down to pick up the paintbrush, but suddenly felt a pain in her stomach.

"Ah~~"

She was instantly overcome by the pain and fell onto the soft couch.

He Ye walked in and saw her curling up in pain. She was so frightened that she rushed over to help her up: "Miss, please bear with it, the doctor will be here soon!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly ran out to ask Luo Chuan to find a doctor, but after calling for a long time, she couldn't find anyone. Helpless, she could only grab a maid and ask her to go and fetch a doctor.

Fu Jingyuan did not return to Daqi, but instead turned around and rode at full speed to the capital of Dazhao.

It was as if it had all been arranged beforehand; as soon as he arrived at the palace gates, someone immediately ran over and led him into the palace.

The man led him to a pavilion and then left.

Fu Jingyuan looked up and saw Fu Chenchu ​​sitting under the pavilion, leisurely drinking tea.

Upon seeing his nominal father again, Fu Jingyuan felt nothing.

If he had to put it into words, he felt nothing but disgust. No matter how much he was bullied as a child, Fu Chenchu ​​had never stopped him.

It can be said that all the misfortunes in her mother's and her own life were caused by this man.

"Where is my mother?" Fu Jingyuan gritted his teeth.

Fu Chenchu ​​stood up, looked at him with amusement, sized him up for a moment, and nodded in satisfaction.

Fu Jingyuan frowned and asked again, "I'm asking you, where is my mother?"

Fu Chenchu ​​curled his lips into a smile: "You keep asking about your mother, don't you miss your father, the Emperor?"

Fu Jingyuan looked at him expressionlessly: "Are you worthy?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Chenchu ​​was not angry; in fact, he nodded in agreement.

When she looked at him, her gaze softened.

"You and your mother are so alike, both ruthless and devoted!"

Fu Jingyuan didn't want to say anything more to him. He turned his head and said, "I have done what you asked me to do. Hand over my mother and I will take her away!"

"Yizhou! You're still too naive. You think everything is over?"

As he spoke, Miao Xingren slowly walked out from behind him, holding a box containing Gu worms in his hand.
