She had hoped that she might be able to glean some inside information from Fang Wande that she was unaware of.

It now seems that the Fang family members are nothing but profit-driven people who only care about money and interests and know nothing about the truth.

Fang Yu slowly stood up from her seat, straightened her back, and coldly swept her gaze over the people in front of her before turning around, clearly intending to leave.

Bound tightly, Fang Youcai suddenly began to struggle anxiously, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Fang Yu, you can't leave! You promised you would let us go!"

Fang Yu, however, seemed not to hear anything and continued to walk forward with firm steps.

Fang Yu stopped just before reaching the door, turned his head slightly, and looked at Fang Youcai and the others behind him with a cold and sinister gaze.

A chilling smile played on her lips as she coldly said, "Let you go? And then give you the chance to find my father? Stop making trouble?"

Fang Yu cast a meaningful glance at Xin Jiyan, who had been standing guard beside her. The message conveyed in that glance couldn't be clearer: get rid of these people.

This was neither the familiar Xishan Village nor Qingshan City. This time, Fang Yu had already made up his mind that he would not let these three go easily.

Fang Yu then turned and left without hesitation, heading straight back to the embroidery workshop.

As for the remaining finishing touches, she could simply trust Xin Jiyan.

On the other side, Li and Su Wang were chatting enthusiastically, as if they wanted to pour out all the words they had accumulated over the years.

Although Li's eyes were still slightly red and her tears had not yet dried, this did not affect her enthusiastic conversation with Su Wang in the slightest.

"Mother, Father..."

Li and Su were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't even notice Fang Yu's arrival, even though she had been standing at the door for quite some time.

Li hurriedly wiped her mouth with her sleeve, a blush instantly spreading across her cheeks. Her eyes darted around, and after a while, she said softly, "It's Yu'er back. Come quickly to your mother's side."

Fang Yu walked over lightly and sat down between her parents.

She stretched out her hands, one arm around her father and the other gently resting on her mother's arm, and said with a smile, "Father and Mother haven't seen each other for so many years, I'm sure you have a lot to say. I won't disturb you here, I'll go find Xin'er first."

At this moment, Fang Xin was busy in the small kitchen of the embroidery workshop.

Her figure moved constantly in front of the stove, the pots and pans clattering together with a crisp sound.

Before Fang Yu even got close to the kitchen door, a rich aroma of food wafted over, and the tempting smell made Fang Yu quicken her pace.

Fang Xin's movements were incredibly swift; a sumptuous feast was gradually taking shape under her skillful hands.

Fang Yu could only help by serving the prepared dishes to the table.

The whole family sat around the large dining table.

Looking at Xin Jiyan, Yan'er, and Yun Jie in front of him, Su Wang was about to ask a question when Li Shi, who was standing to the side, began to introduce the identities and backgrounds of these people to him one by one.

Overwhelmed with emotion at being able to eat his daughter's cooking in his lifetime, Su Wang was moved to tears that flowed uncontrollably down his slightly weathered face.

Seeing her husband so emotional, Li's eyes gradually welled up with tears, and she finally couldn't help but shed them.

Su Wang put down his chopsticks, grasped Li's hand, and said solemnly, "Third Sister, I will tell Father and Mother about this as soon as I get back, and then bring you home in style."

Li suddenly felt a little nervous, glancing at Fang Yu and then at Fang Xin.

His gaze tightened visibly.

Being able to reunite with her husband is certainly a good thing.

But her husband's status is different now. Although he doesn't look down on her, the gap between them...

Li was speechless for a long time.

Knowing her worries, Su Wang tightened his grip on her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Third Sister, Father and Mother are both easy to get along with. Yu'er and Xin'er are so well-behaved, they will definitely like them."

A somber atmosphere filled the dinner table, as if time itself had frozen.

Not only had Li Shi never considered this issue, but Fang Yu had never even entertained such a thought.

After all, it is already a great blessing for a family to be able to reunite.

Fang Yu gently picked up her chopsticks, placed some food into Su Wang's bowl, and then cleverly changed the subject, saying, "Father, let's eat first. After we finish eating, I have some important things I want to discuss with you privately."

Su Wang nodded slightly, temporarily putting aside his inner turmoil about that matter, and replied, "Okay, let's eat first."

Everyone began to enjoy the meal in silence, but each person seemed to have their own thoughts on their mind.

After the meal, Li slowly suppressed her excitement at reuniting with her husband and carefully hid her feelings.

Then she continued to focus on the unfinished embroidery in her hands.

Although her hands were busy threading the needle, her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to what Su Wang had just said about taking the three of them, mother and daughters, home together.

Although Li had never seen what the Minister's mansion looked like, nor had she ever personally witnessed what kind of people Su Wang's current father and mother were.

Based solely on snippets of conversation she overheard from others, she deeply understood that such high-ranking families were not easily attainable by someone like her, who came from a rural background.

For Ms. Li, personal gains and losses, honor and disgrace are not important.

What truly worried her were her two well-behaved and sensible daughters.

She didn't know what the two children would think about entering such a large family as the Minister's mansion, or whether they would even be willing to do so.

At this moment, Fang Yu was alone in a room with Su Wang.

Since leaving the table, Su Wang's expression had been unusually solemn, as if he were carrying a heavy burden.

He had been eagerly anticipating that Fang Yu would want to discuss with him privately the matter of bringing the mother and her two daughters back to the mansion in a grand and glorious manner, so he solemnly assured Fang Yu, "Yu'er, you must trust your father!"

Although Fang Yu did not mention this matter to Li Shi, at this moment her thoughts were exactly the same as Li Shi's. For herself, it didn't matter what, the key was to see what her mother and Xin'er's attitudes were.

Fang Yu then changed the subject slightly, speaking in a reassuring tone, "Father, please don't be anxious. I've come to talk to you alone because I suddenly have something I'd like to ask for your help with, and I hope you can grant my request."
